Once the jury has taken the oath, attorneys on each side of the case may make opening statements. Opening statements should not be considered evidence. Opening statements introduce the attorney's theory of the case to the jurors.
The next step in the trial is the presentation of evidence. Usually the plaintiff's attorney in a civil case or the prosecutor in a criminal case will begin. When the presentation is complete, the plaintiff or prosecutor will rest and the defense may then present its evidence.
Evidence may include physical exhibits, such as photographs, objects, or documents. It can also include a spoken statement from someone under oath, also known as testimony. On occasion, people may testify before the trial begins. When the testimony is written down or videotaped and submitted to the court, it is known as a deposition. The judge will decide what evidence the law allows jurors to consider.
Many things should not be considered as evidence, including the statements and arguments of the attorneys. Testimony the jury has heard but the judge has ordered stricken from the record should not be considered. In fact, the jury must treat this testimony as if it was never given. In addition, things that an attorney offers to prove but which the judge will not allow to be presented, should not be considered as evidence.
It is important that jurors only consider evidence presented during the trial and approved by the judge when making their final decision. Do not conduct your own research by visiting the location referred to in the case, looking for additional information elsewhere, or using personal knowledge you may have about a person or place involved in the case.
During the trial, attorneys will often call witnesses to testify. Each witness is sworn in and promises to tell the truth. A witness may be the attorney's own client or someone else who can testify on behalf of the client. In civil cases, attorneys may require the opposing party or someone close to that party to testify. This person is known as an adverse witness.
When attorneys question their own witnesses, it is called direct examination. When attorneys question an adverse witness, it is called cross-examination. Once direct examination is complete, the opposing attorney may cross-examine the witness. Following those questions, the first attorney can conduct redirect examination.
If a witness says something that fails to answer a question or should not be allowed in the case, the judge may strike the remark from the record. If this happens, you must disregard the testimony as if it was not given.
Court rules set the guidelines for conducting a fair and orderly trial. Sometimes, however, one of the attorneys may feel that the questions or evidence presented by the opposing attorney is improper or should not be considered by the jury. It is the attorney's responsibility in these instances to make objections to the judge. If the judge considers the question improper or the evidence inadmissible, the objection will be sustained. Otherwise, the objection will be overruled.
The judge's ruling does not mean that the judge favors one side or attorney over the other, and jurors should not allow themselves to be influenced by the rulings.
On occasion, the attorneys may speak to the judge privately at the bench or in the judge's chambers, or the judge may excuse the jury from the courtroom. Usually, the judge will explain the reasons for these delays. No matter how or when this occurs, do not feel slighted or attempt to guess what is being discussed. Generally, the attorneys and judge are discussing legal matters about the case, covering sensitive matters beforehand to minimize the possibility of a mistrial, or clarifying issues that could lead to an appeal and possible retrial. Sometimes, the parties reach a settlement during these conferences. While it may seem that time is being wasted, these conferences often avoid longer trials or any trial at all, which saves juror and court time, and considerable public expense.
After the attorneys have presented the evidence, they make closing arguments. Closing arguments provide a summary of the attorneys' arguments and evidence, but are not evidence themselves and should not be considered as such.

What Do You Know About MS?
"When I was little," Chuck said, "I noticed I couldn't run as well as the other kids. I tried, but I couldn't keep up." Eventually, Chuck learned why. He has muscular dystrophy, a progressive muscle weakening.
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of nine neuromuscular diseases. This means it is related both to the nervous system and to the muscles. About 250,000 people in the United States have muscular dystrophy.
The most common is called myotonic dystrophy, also known as Steinert's disease. It affects both children and adults and progresses slowly from the first signs of weakness to marked deficiency.
The most common muscular dystrophy affecting children is a severe form called Duchenne dystrophy. Usually diagnosed before age 5, Duchenne affects mostly boys. A child with this disorder is often described as especially clumsy and slow to …10.7.14
Is Road Safety Something YOU Think About?
Whether or not you have your driver's license, certain situations can develop that can be hazardous even when the car you are in is NOT moving. A dead battery, blown tire, overheated engine, or the aftermath of an accident all can be hazardous if not handled properly. Read the following scenarios and see if you can list the proper procedures for each.
Battery Blues
It's cold and getting dark as you leave school and head for the parking lot to meet a friend for a ride home. After you get in, your friend turns the key to start the car and nothing happens. After two more attempts and a check of the gearshift lever, you both conclude the battery is dead. "Oh great, now what?" you ask. Just then you spot Jan. She has her father's car and possibly …09.28.14
How "Organic" Is Organic?
You and your friend are hungrily studying the snack section at the local grocery store. There are at least a dozen different brands of potato chips and popcorn from which to choose. You know what you should be looking for: things like low calories, low fat, low cholesterol, and so on. You find a brand that looks good, and to your delight it's labeled natural, or even better, organic. You're sold! This has to be the best choice, right? Well, maybe.
In most states, the terms natural and organic currently have no precise legal definition. In common usage, however, natural refers to foods that have undergone little if any processing. Organic is a term applied to foods grown without the use of manufactured fertilizers or pesticides and processed without the use of chemical additives.
Nutritionists tell us that the …09.10.14
Is Weight Training For You?
What do Madonna, Prince, and Michael Jordan all have in common (besides having tons of money)? Several times a week, they all work out using progressive resistance training. Or to use the more popular terminology, they "pump iron."
Weight training (also called body-building) is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. Fifteen or 20 years ago, weight lifting was seen as an activity that produced uncoordinated, muscle-bound men with no necks and with thighs the size of tree trunks. Although these monster men were acknowledged as strong, they weren't necessarily considered fit, well-conditioned athletes.
Today, the stereotype of a body-builder as a muscle-bound, inflexible hulk is disappearing. Serious athletes in every sport and millions of Americans who just want to get in shape include weight training as a part of their total fitness program.

Asking For IRS Tax Help From A Professional
IRS tax help is always there to assist individuals who are faced with tax issues. Basically, it is a responsibility for everyone to file a federal tax return. Failure to do so can be costly because the government may impose criminal or civil sanctions. People who have this case often seek the assistance of IRS agents to clearly identify their lapses. However, to make the consultation easier, IRS tax help is now available offline or online. There are a number of great services that have tax assistance agents who offer help. The government website of IRS is also a good medium to seek for assistance so there is no reason why an individual cannot defend himself/herself in the court.
Taxes are our duties as citizens but if you cannot file a tax return, you will be faced with different consequences. …11.14.13
Overseas Marketing: Finding The Right Talent Is Tough
While business is robust globally, in some countries, such as Russia, Mexico and Singapore, finding people to successfully lead the marketing mission is mired in cultural difficulties.
"If we place an American in an international environment, what they find is that they've been relying on their own intuitions in the markets. [U.S.] intuition is not going to serve me in China," says Chris van Someren, managing director at New York-based Korn/Ferry International, the world's largest search consultancy.
Cultural intricacies
In marketing, intuition and a deep understanding of cultural intricacies play important roles in how products will go over in business-to-business and consumer markets.
For instance, a cosmetics marketer uses her cultural intuition by knowing what colors are popular and what national stars are wearing these days. "Most clients think that we can train [marketing executives] over time, but it's…

No Wonder There Was A Bubble: Looking Back At Insane Web Prices
(Ok, folks, this is a real article. From 1998. Which is pretty hilarious. Wow were we ever flush back around the tech bubble!)
The median price for building a marketing-oriented Web site has increased by as much as 78% since October 1997, with costs for putting a small company on the Web jumping the most, according to Business Marketing's latest national survey of Web developers.
Rates for midsize and large marketers have posted more modest median hikes of 20% and 10%, respectively.
The median price nationally for a simple Web site has jumped from $25,000 eight months ago to $44,500 today. (For details on survey methodology, see Page 28.)
Sophistication grows
More functional, medium-level sites rose in price from $83,000 to $99,750, while the largest sites, which had been dropping in price, reversed that trend and saw prices increase for…

Tips For Offering A Valuable Internship Experience
An internship can either be the best experience for marketing students – or a summer in hell.
Take, for example, the intern who spent his time couriering photos from office to office by bicycle and fetching lunch for co-workers. Or the student who was ignored and unassigned during a six-week internship at a busy corporate marketing department.
As former interns and professionals who run internship programs will tell you, the key to a successful internship program for all involved is an organized experience with planned, hands-on marketing tasks in addition to the ubiquitous grunt work.
"The program should be something structured, with projects that are thought about ahead of time," says Susan Tull, assistant director of the Haas School of Business at the University of California of Berkeley.
Ms. Tull spent several years running internship programs at Clorox, Oakland, Calif.,…

Print Vehicles Didn't Get The Web, No Matter What They Said
The get-it-now promise of the Internet is pushing publishers to re-engineer their circulation fulfillment processes as more subscription orders pour in from the Web.
"Web consumers are developing certain expectations of the fulfillment relationship," says Steve Sutton, who is group circulation director for Ziff-Davis' Yahoo! Internet Life, PC Computing and Internet Computing and is in charge of online subscription marketing for all of Ziff-Davis' paid circulation titles.
"These expectations revolve around speed of transaction," Mr. Sutton says.
They want confirmation fast
In other words, new customers who subscribe to print magazines online want to know their order has been received and is rolling forward right away.
Web fulfillment is a hot issue these days. The American Business Press, New York, is surveying its members about their on-line fulfillment experiences and strategies.
It's clear everyone is struggling to change their models…

VIRGINIA BEACH--As Hampton Roads continues to brace for fallout from sequestration, the possibility of base closings continues to pose a threat to the region.
Third District Congressman Bobby Scott says if new rounds of the BRAC process are authorized, Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach can't escape scrutiny.
'If it was on the list last time, it's obviously of concern this time,' said Scott. 'There's only so many bases, something's got to close. The easy ones were closed. We've had several rounds of BRAC already. We've closed a lot of bases. The ones left are the ones that have survived BRAC closings, so if you have another round of BRAC, obviously everything's in jeopardy,' Scott said.
Oceana has 18 strike fighter squadrons, employs 14,000 people and contributes $1.5 billion annually to the Hampton Roads economy.
In 2005, BRAC voted to realign Oceana and sent the jet operations to Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida. However, Jacksonville citizens rejected a voter referendum to re-open that base.
Since the previous round of BRAC hearings, the city of Virginia Beach and the Commonwealth of Virginia have spent millions of dollars to buy back dozens of acres of non-conforming properties around Oceana.
Virginia Beach State Senator Frank Wagner acknowledges that BRAC is 'a serious concern,' but he thinks the city and state have done a good job purchasing encroaching commercial and residential properties.
'By being proactive like we've been, we're also sending a signal that this is not the place to be shutting down bases,' said Wagner.
Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, before leaving office in February, requested that Congress authorize more base closings. New Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has not said if he supports the idea or not. Neither chamber of Congress has expressed enthusiasm for the idea.
Earlier this month, House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee Chairman Rob Wittman of Virginia's First Congressional District held a hearing and grilled Pentagon leaders about their rationale for more closings. Wittman said at this time he sees no need to go forward with such a plan.

GABRIEL LUIS ACOSTA Gabriel Luis Acosta, a dedicated family man, devout Christian and award-winning
, died Saturday, Sept. 14, at his Riverside home. He was 46. He was a beloved husband, father, son, son-in-law, brother-in-law, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, uncle, co-worker and friend to many. But his life revolved around serving God and caring for his wife Laura and two children, Zachary, 14, and Gabriella, 11. He was a role model for his children and, along with Laura, taught them about Jesus and how to lead a good life. Gabe could be seen walking the field when Zack played flag football or Little League, shooting photos with big lenses and high-powered cameras. He did the same during Ella's ballet classes, recitals and gymnastics classes. He was a presence at their school events and plays, shooting photos, chatting with parents and talking to the principal. He dedicated his life to providing for Laura and the kids, from adding onto and renovating his Wood Streets home to family vacations such as camping and a trek to Europe. He was an active member of The Grove Community Church in Riverside where for more than five years he and Laura led Bible study groups for other couples. He volunteered in The Grove's jail ministry, in which he visited and preached to those behind bars. He recently earned a special driver's license so he could drive a van of youths on a missionary trip to San Francisco with Zack and his youth group. Over the years, Gabe's missionary work took him to Brazil, Thailand with Laura and Mexico with the entire family. Gabe gave everything in life 100 percent, as he was taught by his family and as he knew God wanted him to do. At work, he went the extra mile to get the best photographs. At home, he was no different. A few weeks ago, a sudden storm hit Gabe's neighborhood, sending tree branches into a neighbor's driveway. The next day, he and Zack went out with saws to clear the debris. Quiet and humble, Gabe never sought recognition for doing the right thing. The first of five children, Gabe was a lifelong Riverside resident. He attended St. Catherine's School and graduated in 1985 from Notre Dame High School. He graduated from Cal State San Bernardino in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in Art. Since childhood, Gabe was a talented artist who drew his own comics and enjoyed art and painting classes. This love of art led him to take up photography. He was hired as a part-time photo lab technician at The Sun newspaper in San Bernardino County in 1991 with the goal of becoming a full-time photographer. He reached that goal a few years later and went on to earn numerous awards from the Inland chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and the California Newspaper Photographers Association. In a career spanning more than two decades at The Sun, Gabe covered the biggest stories in the county such as wildfires and crime. But he also excelled at food section photos, portraits and feature photography. In addition to shooting for The Sun, he was a photographer for the company's Riverside magazine and ran his own freelance photography company, GLA Photo. Gabe had a passion for journalism and brought professionalism and integrity to every assignment. For years he worked with youths interested in photojournalism through the California Chicano News Media Association's Inland Chapter, helping organize journalism workshops, instructing students in photography and helping stage scholarship banquets. Gabe had a big smile, friendly demeanor and ability to strike up a conversation with strangers. He often wore a T-shirt, baseball cap and jeans or shorts. He was a lifelong fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Those who knew Gabe know well of his hobbies. He especially enjoyed art and music, in his own words, "from Mozart to Metallica." He loved classic rock, from The Who to the Eagles to Led Zeppelin, collected old album covers and had a special place in his heart for disco tunes from the 1970s. He liked history, reading books and watching documentaries and films set against historic backgrounds. More recently, he enjoyed TV shows and video games about zombies. He also enjoyed painting and gardening. In addition to Laura, to whom he was married 19 years, and his children, Gabe is survived by his mother, Carmela Acosta of Riverside, and was preceded in death by his father, John M. "Chet" Acosta. He is also survived by his brothers Mark and Michael of Riverside, Philip of Carlsbad; sister-in-law Sharon M. Huston of Carlsbad; and sister Christina D. Short and brother-in-law Gregory Short of Riverside. He also is survived by father- and mother-in-law Rick and Grace Sylvester and sister-in-law Heather Sylvester of Riverside. Gabe leaves behind aunts Dolores and Maria Sanchez of Riverside; grandmother Susie Sanchez of Riverside; and uncle and aunt Manny and Socorro Sanchez of Moreno Valley; cousin Rosann Howell of Grand Terrace; and nephew Emerson Huston Acosta of Carlsbad. Recitation of the Rosary will be Friday, Sept. 20, from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Arlington Mortuary, 9645 Magnolia Ave., Riverside. Viewing will follow from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, at The Grove Community Church, 19900 Grove Community Drive, Riverside. A luncheon will follow. Burial will be Monday, Sept. 23, at 2 p.m. at Olivewood Memorial Park, 3300 Central Ave., Riverside. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Gabe Acosta Scholarship Fund, which will be used for the education of his two children, who attend Riverside Christian Day School and Woodcrest Christian Middle School. Contributions can be made to Woodcrest Christian School, 18401 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside, CA 92508. Information: 951-780-2010.

MT. HERMON — Southern Alamance is bringing back one of its own to be its next football coach.
Andrew Carrouth, who graduated from the school in 2003, has been hired.
"This has always been my dream job," Carrouth said. "I've been an assistant coach and I loved it, but knew I wanted to be a head football coach. Definitely that was the place I wanted to be and when the opportunity came open, I made a big push for it."
Carrouth, 28, spent the past six seasons on the football coaching staff at Southeast Guilford, which is a neighboring Metro Conference rival of Southern Alamance. He was the defensive coordinator there for the past two seasons.
"He fit what we were looking for," Southern Alamance athletics director Jon Russell said. "We knew he was going to give us a good base on football knowledge."
Carrouth fills the vacancy left by Henry Trevathan, who departed the position in March to take an administrative role with the North Carolina State football program. Trevathan's teams went a combined 4-18 in two seasons at Southern Alamance, including a 3-8 mark in 2012.
Carrouth, an East Carolina graduate, will teach advanced placement psychology at Southern Alamance. He has been in a similar role at Southeast Guilford, also teaching civics and economics.
"I knew as soon as I went into the teaching side of things that I wanted to be a head coach," he said. "East Carolina made us write down a list of goals. Not too long ago I was looking at that list (and on it was) to be a head football coach before I was 30."
Carrouth was an offensive lineman at Southern Alamance, a member of its last conference championship team in 2002.
"That's not that long ago," he said. "The biggest thing I want to come in right away and attack is confidence. … "We've got great players down there. I met with some of them the other day and I was blown away by how good our kids look.
"The first thing I want to do is be competitive in our county and as far as getting into our conference, the exact same thing."
That 2002 championship in what was then the Five County Conference marks the Patriots' only outright football league title in 27 years.
Southern Alamance assistant coach Kyle Deadmon recalled Carrouth's traits as a player.
"One of the best leaders that has been around here," Deadmon said. "He's going to instill that around here. He's going to be really good. They've hired a Southern Patriot."
Chris Miller, an assistant coach with the football team, was on the coaching staff when Carrouth was a Southern Alamance player.
"Andrew is an intense competitor," Miller said. "He is gung-ho. He will be great for us. He's excited and I'm excited for him to be here."
Carrouth, who'll be on campus regularly beginning Monday, holds familiarity with the Southern Alamance program and the conference in which the Patriots play.
"Being rooted in this community would bring some stability, which is really needed here at Southern," Russell said.
The vacancy attracted 58 applicants, Russell said.

Men's Lacrosse Once Again Picked 2nd in Annual Preseason Coaches Poll; Receives First Place Vote
January 31, 2013
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Limestone College is coming off of one of their most successful seasons in team history, in which they broke the program record for wins with 17, advanced to their seventh NCAA Division II National Championship Game and once again claimed Conference Carolinas regular season and tournament titles. Pfeiffer University was picked second while Queens rounds out the top three in third.
The Saints have a number of key players returning in 2013. Among them is reigning Conference Carolinas Player of the Year, USILA Specialist of the Year and First-Team All-American faceoff man Jake Ternosky. Already an Inside Lacrosse Preseason First-Team All-American, Ternosky is coming off of a season that saw him win 234 of 358 faceoffs for an incredible .654 percentage, good for second in the nation, and took 153 more attempts than the national leader to achieve that level. He also finished with 101 groundballs and was named the Nike National Player of the Week on March 9. He also became the first Saint to be named Conference Carolinas Male Athlete of the Year.
Ternosky gets the ball to one of the most dangerous offenses in the country 65-percent of the time. That offense this year will continue to be fueled by senior attack Riley Loewen who finished 2012 with 48 goals, 20 assists, 68 points and 30 groundballs. A Second-Team USILA All-American for the second straight year, and a former Co-Conference Carolinas Player of the Year (2011), Loewen finished 14th in the nation in goals per game with a mark of 2.61 and was 16th in points per game with a mark of 3.67.
After racking up a school-record 12 wins in 2012, the Pfeiffer University men's lacrosse team will look to build on last year's progress being selected second in the annual Conference Carolinas preseason coaches' poll. Junior James Shepherd returns as the top scorer from a year ago after registering 47 goals with 14 assists crossing the century mark in points at 107. Shepherd, a first team all-conference selection, will anchor the offense while junior Hayden Kirk, also a first team selection, captains the defense in net. Hayden recorded 162 saves in 2012 logging over 900 minutes last season with a goals against average of just 6.51.
Pfeiffer will look to benefit from 12 newcomers this season under first year head coach Lars Keil. Keil took over for Peter Milliman in four months ago after Milliman departed for Princeton. Assistant Coaches Steve Torkington and Brad Conlon both return to help Keil.
Queens University of Charlotte returns two of its three players that were named to last year's all-conference team list. Senior midfielder T.C. Whaley will begin his final season as the Royals' second leading returning scorer behind sophomore Evan Farkas. Attackers Matthew Michael and Jimmy Baker who also contributed largely to Queens' offense will return to the field as well. Tim Cloud, a long pole who was most recently recognized on Inside Lacrosse's Preseason All-Conference Team, rejoins the Royals squad to lead Queens' defense. The Royals' strengths will be tested early in their season when they host some of the top teams in the nation in non-conference action.
Rounding out the men's lacrosse preseason poll 4-6 was: Belmont Abbey, Mount Olive, Coker and Lees-McRae respectively.
CONFERENCE CAROLINAS PRESEASON COACHES POLL (First Place Votes)
1. Limestone - (6) 36
2. Pfeiffer - (1) 31
3. Queens - 24
4. Belmont Abbey - 22
5. Mount Olive - 15
6. Coker - 13

Many parents ask me what they can do to make their children more physically active. As we know, childhood obesity is a growing problem around the world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that in the United States, approximately 17 percent (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years are obese. These numbers are scary, as many experts are concerned that this could be the first generation of children whose life expectancy may be shorter than their parents. The continued popularity of technology is also a growing concern, as children are now so absorbed in electronics that it has become their number-one form of activity. Many parents are worried that their children would prefer to be on the computer, iPad or cell phone, or playing video games than spend time outside being physically active. So what can a parent do? Here are 10 steps to help get your kids back on the path to a healthier lifestyle through more physical activity:
Of course, each child is different, and requires his or her own 'recipe' for success. Learn to communicate with your kids in a positive manner, and they will reap the rewards of a healthier lifestyle.
If you found this to be article useful to you or someone else, please share it with your friends!

Chromatic by Totes Men's Boots

About Me Bargain shopper, Comfort-oriented, Stylish, Trendy
Comments about Chromatics by Totes Men's Boots:
Bought these for my youngest son. He'll be 10 next month but recently had a growth spurt. He was in real need of new boots (old ones were a size 6). And had a hard time finding them.His sneakers and other shoes were a 7-7 1/2. Was worried about these boots being too big,too wide, and too old looking for a young but tall for his age child. Searched several sites and also in a few stores in town to no avail this late in the season. Was happily surprised when his boots arrived yesterday. He excitedly tried them ,and liked them so much that he asked if he could keep them on around the house. I plan to order the next size up to put away for next Winter. Love the fuzzy insoles and the convenient Velcro closure. We bought the black in a size 8. Very happy with this purchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Too Narrow
By Charlie G
from Laytonsville MD
I have three other Totes boots of exactly the same size and they all fit perfectly. Therefore I had no hesitation in ordering these in the same size. I was amazed to find that they were significantly narrower. In all cases I had ordered a 10W.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Inside the Reporter's Notebook: GSA FAS, shared services and DHS contract awards
Friday - 1/11/2013, 6:50pm EST
Welcome to my new feature, "Inside the Reporter's Notebook," where every two weeks I'll dispatch news and information you may have missed or that slipped through the cracks at conferences, hearings and the like.
This is not a column nor commentary — it's news tidbits, strongly sourced buzz and other items of interest that have happened or are happening in the federal IT and acquisition communities.
As always, I encourage you to submit ideas, suggestions, and, of course, news to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
There's a lot of talk in the acquisition community about who will be the next Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner at the General Services Administration. The buzz is around three names, Mary Davie, the acting FAS Commissioner and long-time GSA acquisition person, Tom Sharpe, the Treasury Department's chief acquisition officer, and, what some are calling an industry dark horse, Raj Sharma, CEO of Censeo Consulting Group, which has been working with GSA to implement strategic sourcing. Several sources tell me Davie is the best candidate, but from what I gather a decision isn't final.
A couple of data points for an industry friend to keep in mind:
- Government and industry say the past three FAS commissioners — Marty Wagner, Jim Williams, Steve Kempf — managed effectively. All of them had extensive prior federal acquisition operations and IT policy experience.
- When GSA has hired someone with mostly or all private-sector experience, they were selecting second tier candidates and things didn't work as well as they hoped, think Martha Johnson, Lurita Doan and Emily Murphy. "For the most part, they are good people, but they were over their heads and couldn't manage effectively in a government environment."
The Office of Management and Budget once again is trying to push agencies toward financial management shared services. At the Association of Government Accountants event Thursday, which was closed to the press for some odd reason, industry and government sources tell me OMB Controller Danny Werfel announced Treasury would be the agency lead for "shared services 2.0" (my name, not Werfel's). According to tweets from AGA, Werfel said the administration needs to aggressively challenge the agencies to find common, basic structures to take advantage of the cost benefits of migrating to shared services. Werfel also said, according to AGA tweets, medium and large agencies need to aggressively move toward shared services.
I've asked OMB for more details on the financial management shared services strategy, including an interview with Werfel. A recent Federal News Radio survey of CFOs found they are skeptical of shared services.
Under the Bush administration, OMB pushed agencies toward using shared services providers for financial management, but decided not to make it mandatory and therefore few large agencies actually made the move.
One industry source familiar with the plan tells me OMB may not be including the private sector in this round, instead wanting agencies to use government providers, such as Interior's National Business Center or Treasury's Administrative Resource Center. The source expressed some concern if that's the plan, government providers would struggle to meet the needs of truly large agencies such as Homeland Security or Veterans Affairs.
Here's another after-effect of the Defense Department's $1 billion failed personnel management systems, called, the Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS), the Air Force finally is updating its internal HR system five years later.
And the service is using the cloud. The Air Force said this week that it's putting its Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) in the cloud managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency.
For the next 23 days, MilPDS will go down while the Air Force moves it to DISA's Defense Enterprise Computing Center, known as the DISA DECs.
Moving to DISA's cloud isn't all that surprising as the Army, the Joint Chiefs and others are putting their email in the DECs, but this may be one of the first major HR systems going there.
It would be interesting to see if the Air Force's move to the cloud was more about a faster path to upgrades than actual savings.
The Air Force said it now will "bring MilPDS up-to-date in order to reduce risks."
"We are confident that we will be able to upgrade MilPDS in March so we can address security, reliability and sustainability risks with the current system," said Robert Corsi, Air Force assistant deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services, in a release. "We will have processes in place to ensure personnel and pay service providers are able to work critical transactions for their customers during the upgrade."

The Portsmouth Police Department with the assistance of the New Boston Police Department arrested seven women and one man as they conducted another operation to combat the sex for hire trade in the city of Portsmouth Thursday.
Portsmouth Police Chief Robert Ware said his officers arrested seven females who agreed to engage in sexual activity with an agent of the Portsmouth Police Department for money. Additionally, officers arrested one male, who also solicited sexual activity for money from a female agent of the Portsmouth Police Department.
Booked and taken to the Scioto County Jail were Amber Mingus, 26, of Wheelersburg; Chrissy Parsons, 30; Susan Ogier, 23; Christie Stapleton, 24; Diane Keller, 48; Yolanda Salem, 34 and Deanna Hurt, 30, all of Portsmouth, in addition to Danny Glispie, 63, of South Shore, Ky. Glispie's vehicle was impounded. All eight were charged with solicitation.
Ware said the Portsmouth Police officers who worked on that detail were paid out of a grant the department received and continues to use to combat the problem as well as other continuing endeavors Ware says will make the community a safer place.
"The Portsmouth Police Department wishes to thank the New Boston Police Department and (Scioto County) Sheriff Marty Donini for their assistance and for the use of equipment that led to the success of the operation," Ware said.

A LAKE District boat is to join a thousand-strong fleet sailing in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee procession on the Thames this summer.
One of Windermere's well-worn wooden tourist vessels has been selected by Royal organisers to take part in the event – the largest flotilla in modern times.
More than two million people are expected to watch from the embankments of the Thames as the seven-mile procession steers through London waters.
Cumbria's own aptly-named participant, The Queen of the Lake, owned by Windermere Lake Cruises, is currently being repainted and refurbished for the spectacular, on Sunday, June 3.
The flotilla will be led by Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal family aboard a barge called The Spirit of Chartwell.
It will sail under 14 bridges, alongside groups of narrow boats, historic vessels including World War Two ships from the Dunkirk beaches and replica Tudor ships.
Managing director of Windermere Lake Cruises Nigel Wilkinson said: "We are delighted Cumbria will be represented at such a high-profile, patriotic event which will inevitably strike a cord with the whole country as we celebrate her Majesty the Queen and her 60-year reign together.
"We hope to be able to involve the wider Cumbria community in this project and to give some younger Cumbrians a day out that they will remember for the rest of their lives."
Boat building manager Alex Williamson and operations manager Russell Bowden will lead the team south for the patriotic event.
Windermere skipper Ron Walker will captain the boat on the day itself.
The 15-metre tourist boat, built in 1949, will be hoisted out of the water at Ambleside and driven almost 300 miles by lorry before it is launched on the Thames.
It is a reversal of the ship's initial northern voyage, 60 years ago, when she was transported to Windermere from the Thames-side town of Molsey, where she was built.
It is not the first time the Queen of the Lake has been given a Royal mark of approval. In March 2010 it carried the Prince of Wales when he visited the Lake District.
A VERY small Beatrix Potter drawing has sold for nearly £50,000 at an auction in America.
The three-and-three-quarter inches by six inches ink and watercolour had been expected to sell for up to 37,500 at the Sotheby's auction, in New York, but reached £47,438
The miniature, called 'Guinea pigs going to their garden...' was among 193 original illustrations sold by wealthy American couple, Kendra and Allan Daniel. The painting depicts four guinea pigs following a fifth along a path carrying garden tools.
A spokesman for Sotheby's said: "Early in 1893, when she was in her twenties, Beatrix Potter borrowed a number of guinea pigs from her friend, Miss Paget. One, named Mr Chopps, proved to be no problem but another, named Queen Elizabeth, apparently 'took to eating blotting paper, pasteboard, string and other curious substances and expired during the night. A pair of gardening illustrations date from this time: four guinea pigs following a blue-coated guinea pig and four guinea pigs working under the guidance of the blue-coated guinea pig.
"These were later redrawn in 1922 and used in Potter's book Cecil Parsley's Nursery Rhymes."

October 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline
Click here for the first part covering the Cyber Attacks from 1 to 15 October 2012.
Here is the timeline for the main Cyber Attacks in October 2012. A month that has been characterized by hacktivism and also by several remarkable cyber crime operations.
For sure the next days will be hard for taxpayers of South Carolina, whose Department of Revenue has been targeted by foreign hackers able to access records of 3.6 million of individuals. But hard days are going to come also for banks: not only the trail of DDoS attack against U.S. Banks has continued even in the second half of the month (although different groups took credit for them), but also, on the cyber crime front, Citigroup has lost 1 million of bucks because of a loophole exploited by a ring of 13 individuals. Different motivations, same lesson: bank security needs a dramatic improvement.
Moving to hactkivism, nothing new under the sun. The pale sun of October has enlightened several operations targeting governments (Greece and Italy above all, to reflect the delicate situation of these two countries) and organization all over the world…
As usual after the jump you will find all the references.
If you want to have an idea of how fragile our data are inside the cyberspace, have a look at the timelines of the main Cyber Attacks in 2011 and 2012 and the related statistics (regularly updated), and follow @paulsparrows on Twitter for the latest updates.

Looking for a media Streamer.... GET THIS!
Reviewed by Ben Wilding. Review Posted 07/02/2011
I have been looking for a good Media Streamer for a while now. Have looked at many options including Apple TV, Sling solution etc, but this is by far and away the best solution i have seen.
My setup is that i have a wired network around the house (quite new house so lucky in that it was wired when built), a NAS drive with all my movies, TV series and Music etc on located under the stairs... The NAS unit is connected to a switch (where all my network points come into).
Thinking that streaming media over wireless never actually worked, with it always buffering, i was pleasantly surprised to see that the Boxee didnt struggle to stream wirelessly at all!! Crystal clear, no delays, found all my media immediately... Great device and worth every single penny.

Easily the best piece of kit on the market right now!
Reviewed by Dunc. Review Posted 28/01/2011
I received a Boxee for Christmas completely unexpectedly (thanks Caz!) and couldnt be happier with it! I've had some experience with Streaming to TV kit - Netgear EVA8000 (terrible), Linksys DMA1000 (not bad), Xbox 360 (good since the last update) and PS3 (average) - but the Boxee beats all these so badly i'm embarrased for them! Obviously the big draw for the Boxee Box is the Boxee software and it really is key to this being so good but the style of the Box and its onboard functionality are also spot on! Easy to set up, clean interface and the amount of content at your disposal for free is unreal! Currently settling into Shameless Season 1 again - thanks to 4OD on Boxee! I really cant recommend this enough - buy it now, you will NOT regret it!

Been looking forward to the Boxee Box so much! Will do everything I want and replace my dusty old media centre. The down side once again UK citizens are getting screwed on price. I could get the Boxee box for $199 but for some reason I have to pay £199 in the UK fare? I think not!

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
|Jetty Powered:
private support for your internal/customer projects ... custom extensions and distributions ... versioned snapshots for indefinite support ... scalability guidance for your apps and Ajax/Comet projects ... development services from 1 day to full product delivery
Using JNDI Resources with jetty6
Jetty6 supports
java:comp/env lookups in webapps. This is an optional feature provided by the 2 jars
lib/naming/jetty-naming.jar and
lib/plus/jetty-plus.jar. As it is an optional feature, some setup needs to be done. We'll show you how to do it, although we have provided jetty configuration files that already have JNDI enabled to help you get going faster. More on that later.
Firstly, to enable JNDI for a web application, you need to configure the WebAppContext to parse the web.xml file and perform the
java:comp/env linkages. The class that does this is
org.mortbay.jetty.plus.webapp.Configuration, and we specify its name in the list of configurations to be applied to the webapp when we define the
org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext for it. The following example enables naming services for the
Or, more conveniently, you can specify that these configurations are used for every webapp deployed from a specified directory, eg
webapps-plus. Assuming the same definition of the Configurations array as above, instead of explicitly configuring each individual webapp, you can say instead:
You may now configure naming resources that can be referenced in a web.xml file and accessed from within the
java:comp/env naming environment of the webapp during execution. Specifically, you may configure support for the following web.xml elements:
Configuring env-entrys shows you how to set up overrides for
env-entry elements in web.xml. Configuring resource-refs and resource-env-refs discusses how to configure support resources such as
Furthermore, it is possible to plug a JTA
javax.transaction.UserTransaction implementation into Jetty so that webapps can lookup
java:comp/UserTransaction to obtain a distributed transaction manager. See Configuring XA Transactions.
You can define your naming resources to be either globally accessible (ie can be resolved by any webapp) or resolvable only within a particular webapp. The section Global or scoped to a webapp shows you how.
Before we go any further, lets take a look at what kind of things can be bound into JNDI with Jetty.
What can be bound and general overview
There are 3 types of objects that can be bound into Jetty's JNDI:
- an ordinary POJO instance
- a
- an object instance that implements the
The binding for all of these object types follows the same pattern:
<New class=type of naming entry>
<Arg>name to bind as</Arg>
<Arg>the object to bind</Arg>
type of naming entry will be either
"org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.EnvEntry" (for <env-entry>s or a
"org.mortbay.naming.plus.Resource" (for all other type of resources). There is also a third type of naming entry
"org.mortbay.plus.naming.Transaction" which deviates slightly from this pattern which is used to bind a JTA manager (we'll take a closer look at that in the Configuring XA Transactions section).
Configuring env-entrys
Sometimes it is useful to be able to pass configuration information to a webapp at runtime that either cannot be or is not convient to be coded into a web.xml
env-entry. In this case, you can use
org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.EnvEntry and even configure them to override an entry of the same name in web.xml.
This example will define an
env-entry called
mySpecialValue with value
4000 that will be put into JNDI at
java:comp/env/mySpecialValue. Moreover, the boolean argument indicates that this value should override an
env-entry of the same name in web.xml. If you don't want to override, then omit this argument or set it to
Note that the Servlet Specification only allows the following types of object to be bound to an
env-entry: java.lang.String, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Float, java.lang.Double, java.lang.Long, java.lang.Short, java.lang.Character, java.lang.Byte, java.lang.Boolean. However, Jetty is a little more flexible and will allow you to bind custom POJOs, javax.naming.References and javax.naming.Referenceables. Be aware if you take advantage of this feature that your web application will not be portable.
Configuring resource-refs and resource-env-refs
Any type of resource that you want to refer to in a web.xml file as a
resource-ref or
resource-env-ref can be configured in a
jetty.xml file using the
org.mortbay.naming.plus.Resource class. You need to provide the name of the object, relative to
java:comp/env and a POJO instance, javax.naming.Reference instance or javax.naming.Referenceable instance.
The J2EE Specification recommends that DataSources are stored in
java:comp/env/jdbc, JMS connection factories under
java:comp/env/jms, JavaMail connection factories under
java:comp/env/mail and URL connection factories under
java:comp/env/url. For example:
Resource Type
Name in jetty.xml
Environment Lookup
Configuring DataSources
Lets look at an example of configuring a javax.sql.DataSource. Jetty can use any DataSource implementation available on it's classpath. In our example, we'll use a DataSource from the Derby relational database, but you can use any implementation of a
The above would create an instance of
org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDataSource, call the two setter methods
setDatabaseName("test"); and
setCreateDatabase("create"); and bind it into JNDI such that it is available from application lookups as
Configuring JMS Queues, Topics and ConnectionFactory-s
Jetty is able to bind any implementation of the JMS destinations and connection factories. You just need to ensure the implementation jars are available on Jetty's classpath.
Here's an example of binding an ActiveMQ in-JVM connection factory:
There is more information about ActiveMQ and Jetty here.
Configuring Mail
Jetty also provides infrastructure for providing access to {{javax.mail.Session}}s from within an application:
The setup above creates an instance of the
org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.mail.MailSessionReference class, calls it's setter methods
setPassword("OBF:1xmk1w261z0f1w1c1xmq"); to set up the authentication for the mail system, then populates a set of Properties, setting them on the MailSessionReference instance. The result of this is that an application can lookup
java:comp/env/mail/Session at runtime and obtain access to a
javax.mail.Session that has the necessary configuration to permit it to send email via SMTP.
We will be adding more examples of configuring database datasources (eg using XAPool and DBCP) and jms connection factories, so check back regularly. Contributions are also welcome.
Configuring XA Transactions
If you want to be able to perform distributed transactions with your resources, you will need a transaction manager that supports the JTA interfaces that you can lookup as
java:comp/UserTransaction in your webapp. Jetty does not ship with one, rather you may plug in the one of your preference. You can configure the one of your choice using the
org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Transaction object in a jetty config file. In the following example, we will configure the Atomikos transaction manager:
See also the instructions for how to configure JOTM. Contributions of instructions for other transaction managers are welcome.
Global or scoped to a webapp
If you place any of the naming resources discussed in the next sections in a jetty configuration file, they will be used by all webapps to resolve
web.xml references.
You can instead make naming resources that are only resolvable by a particular webapp. For instance, you might want to do this if one of the objects you want to bind can only be loaded from the webapp's classloader.
Here's how to do it. Create a
WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml file in your webapp. An example might look like:
That's all you need to do. Jetty6 will automatically check for a file of this name and add any naming resources to a locally-scoped naming environment for resolution of
web.xml references. You may define any naming resources in this file, but it would usually be undesirable to define a
Transaction, because this is intended to be a container-level resource and if defined in the {{jetty-env.xml} file the transaction manager will only be visible to that webapp.
Demo Web Application
There is a demonstration webapp which sets up examples of all of the JNDI resources we've discussed so far.
In order to run this demonstration, you will need to download the transaction manager (and any necessary JDBC drivers etc) of your choice. At the time of writing, the webapp has been tested with both JOTM and with Atomikos.
Building the Demo
As the demo webapp is not pre-built with the distribution, you first have to build it. It is located in
examples/test-jndi-webapp. There is a
README.txt file in there which explains how to build it, and how to add support for different transaction managers.
Basically, it is a matter of typing:
where you replace
xxx with the name of the transaction manager package you want to use, eg
-Dtxmgr=jotm or
This builds the webapp and copies a suitable jetty configuration file called
jetty-test-jndi.xml into the
etc directory.
