Burton Francis kicked a penalty in injury time to down the Stormers in Bloemfontein.
The Cheetahs won 26-24 after trailing 15-7 at halftime.
The two teams met in a pre-season in Bloemfontein and the Cheetahs, courtesy of a last minute penalty, won by a point.
This time, when it mattered most, the Cheetahs were as desperate in refusing to be beaten, and they simply refused to go away.
The Stormers appeared to have the game won when they fed the scrum in the 80th minute, but they conceded a tighthead and the Cheetahs were awarded the scrum with the final set phase play of the game.
Thereafter the hosts advanced play 60 metres, kept the ball for more than 10 phases and won the penalty at the breakdown. Francis, who enjoyed his finest match for the Cheetahs, was brilliant in converting the penalty from an acute angle.
Stormers captain Jean de Villiers applauded the Cheetahs victory and said his side were beaten by a better team.
The win, the fifth in succession, was a franchise record for the Cheetahs.
Andries Bekker, the first Stormer to play 100 matches for the franchise, was outstanding in all aspects of the game, but on balance the Cheetahs played with greater composure. Both sides were desperate for the win and both played with desire and determination but it was the Cheetahs who had the momentum when it mattered most.
Francis kicked 16 points, including a fantastic drop goal, and his performance was deserving of the man of match award.
The Cheetahs bench provided excellent impact, especially in the front row, and their scrum turnover was the defining moment of the game.
Both sides scored two tries and both played with intent and enterprise. The match was physical, it was bruising and it was entertaining.
The pre-match view of many, myself included, was that there wouldn't be more than a point or two in this game. And so it proved.
The Stormers showed the desperation of a side that had to win to keep alive their play-off aspirations but the Cheetahs were equal in desperation and simply defiant. The home team had added defensive nous to their attack and they played with the confidence of a team that has a winning habit.
The Stormers forwards, in the first half, had the edge and Bekker disrupted the Cheetahs lineout and denied the hosts an attacking platform.
Somehow the Cheetahs managed the disruption and also the loss of replacement scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius whose try-scoring impact was immediate.
Reserve winger Rayno Benjamin played scrumhalf for the last quarter and his Sevens experience ensured he produced an inspiring cameo.
Joe Pietersen was effective for the Stormers with his goalkicking but the visitors attack never threatened and the back three of Jaco Taute, Gio Aplon and Pietersen struggled as a unit in the first quarter.
Taute's miserable season in Cape Town continued and he left the field with a serious knee injury which could end his Super Rugby year.
Juan de Jongh scored a brace for the Stormers, but the second should not have been awarded because of an offside infringement and it was poetic justice when Pretorius intercepted a Nic Groom kick to score.
There was very little between the two teams in performance, but one team currently knows how to win and the other is making a habit of losing. This was the Stormers fourth defeat in six starts and next weekend's match at Newlands against the Sharks could define their season.

Adam, I know it's not on your list but I always offer to bring a basket if you need an extra for one of the temp holes. Pardon me pasting post from The Louisville Classic below but I'm doing this from my phone. Also, I don't have a MiFi for mobile broadband but I do live right next to the course and can give you my Network key if you wand to upload scores from my driveway. Also, if you need anything (ice, water, condiments, etc..) from the house you can text my cell and I will see what I can do. Thank you! I am looking forward to another fun filled CVO!
You are more than welcome to use my basket. It's an old DGA M-14 like the one on Amazon (link below). I never got around to installing aftermarket inner chains so even my 5 year son (the side arm bandit) can throw a disc in one side and out the other. If you get real desperate I have a canvas skillshot travel basket as well.

Alumni Recital Series
:: About the Alumni Recital Series
:: Dover String Quartet on April 21
The Alumni Recital Series brings Curtis graduates from around the world back to Field Concert Hall. Performers are leaders in their field, whose success as musicians in the 21st-century continues the impact and legacy of Curtis music-making achieved over more than eight decades. Artists on the Alumni Recital Series donate their services, and proceeds from the concerts directly benefit current Curtis students. In recent years contributions have been made toward the purchase of student tickets to Philadelphia Orchestra concerts, acquisitions for the library, the student travel fund, and instrument repairs.
Sunday, April 21 at 3 p.m.
Formed at the Curtis Institute of Music in 2008, the Dover String Quartet (formerly the Old City String Quartet) draws from the musical lineage of both the Vermeer and Guarneri quartets and brings a youthful enthusiasm and musical conviction that is truly its own. Praised by The Strad for their "exceptional interpretative maturity, tonal refinement and taut ensemble," the quartet was named Gold Medalist and Grand Prize winner of the 2010 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and was a prizewinner at Wigmore Hall's 2012 London International String Quartet Competition.

Mother of an 18-year-old daughter and boy, 5, unemployment assistance has stopped. She cleans homes but cannot cover her bills. She lives with her 72-year-old father and looks after him. Her son has seizures and ADHD. He needs winter clothing. Special wish is for either a bike (used OK) and/or Nintendo.
This is where it gets real.
I'm talking now about the unemployment and the foreclosures. I'm talking about the hunger and the illnesses. I'm talking about the need and not the want.
I'm talking about the list of cases handled by Alamance County's Christmas Cheer program, the one we publish in the Times-News annually this time of year.
This is where it gets real.
Disabled gentleman, 64, had a stroke which left half of his body paralyzed has high blood pressure and receives dialysis three times a week. Needs sweatpants, pull over shirts and socks, would like cans of chicken noodle soup, applesauce and peaches. Sugar-free candy is allowed. Cleaning products and laundry detergent also needed.
For Christmas Cheer, and the various agencies that deal with problems in our community each and every day, it doesn't get more real. Poverty isn't a vague concept. Unemployment numbers aren't political footballs punted from one side of the field to the other. People with health problems really don't have insurance and aren't simply numbers lost amid talking points on cable TV news.
Yes, this is where it gets real.
And these are stories that will sober you up in a hurry.
The grandparents care for grandson, 6. The grandfather has gout and back problems. The grandmother works part time. The child needs warm pants, shirts, socks and shoes. He enjoys coloring, stuffed animals, cars and trucks. His special wish is for a bike. Ham, fruits and vegetables would be greatly appreciated as a Christmas meal.
For about 20 years now part of my job is to read through the long list of cases submitted for publication in the newspaper from the Christmas Cheer program. Each case is assigned a number and people in our community can select a person or family to help. Christmas Cheer and the Times-News work to keep the people themselves anonymous. Some cases appear almost every year. Others drop off for a time — or perhaps forever.
Yes, families in tough straits do recover. That's the good news. A few then adopt families in the years that follow. It's called paying it forward.
Sadly, we also hear of people who have adopted families in the past who simply can't do so anymore. A few become cases for adoption themselves. Sometimes it's a lost job by one or more family members. Often it's an illness that's incredibly expensive to treat and the bills have wiped out a family bank account.
Even without names attached, the stories are unbearably sad. It's a cold soul who can read these lists and not be touched in at least some if-not-for-the-grace-of-God kind of way.
That's how you know it's real.
Working mother has had hours cut and has little income. She has a son 15 and has adopted her 6-year-old granddaughter. The children need warm winter clothes for school.

Newspaper people become jaded over time. It's the nature of the business. We deal with people facing extreme hardship and tragedy almost daily. It's too easy to get caught up in a "yeah, yeah, yeah … what's next" way of looking at things.
The Christmas Cheer list is different. It's not a holiday season kind of thing, either. It's like being suddenly confronted with an overwhelming truth — that the people who need help in our community are almost too numerous to count. And they don't suddenly disappear after the holidays are over. What little that can be done usually isn't nearly enough.
When I worked in Jacksonville, the newsroom there adopted a family annually for Christmas Cheer. Later we added a senior citizen in need as well. When I got to Burlington in 2007 I was glad to see that the tradition was already in place here. Lifestyles editor Charity Apple does a phenomenal job of overseeing this project and involving her Teens & Twenties staff of local students. It's an eye-opening experience for the teens, who get to learn something they might not really know about where they live.
Most of all, they learn about what's real.
In fact, so do we all.

Solar Storm
Solar Storm
Solar storms are waves of radiation emitted from the Sun that travel through space. The radiation from these storms can have a range of effects, including disrupting satellites in space, power grids on Earth and navigation systems. Earth's atmosphere protects humans from the radiation, but astronauts in space are at risk during solar storm activity.
Solar storms are often caused by solar flares or coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Solar flares are explosions on the surface of the Sun, often occurring near sunspots (shifting fields of magnetic energy). These flares can release as much energy as a billion megatons of TNT (1 megaton = 1,000 tons of TNT), and release various forms of energy, including gamma and x-rays.
Coronal mass ejections are bursts of energy released from the sun over a number of hours, and occur when the Sun's magnetic field and outer solar atmosphere get too close. CMEs are often associated with solar flare activity, but can occur independently of solar flares.
Solar storms, along with solar flares and coronal mass ejections, are tracked by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service. You can get daily space weather forecasts the NOAA website.

Balancing a budget; revising the tax code; overhauling education; building roads; reviving the economy: You'd think that lawmakers in
But no, they want to be your nanny — at least some of them do.
A bill to bar Tar Heels under 18 years old from using tanning beds is moving through the General Assembly. It's been tried twice before without success in previous legislative sessions, but nanny-wannabes don't give up easily. This time, bill-backers say momentum is on their side.
Not that tanning — man-made or au naturale — is a good idea at any age. There's much evidence to suggest that over-exposure increases the risk of skin cancer — the deadly kind called melanoma.
As for browning in a tanning bed, the North Carolina Dermatology Association has this to say:
> Studies have found a 75 percent increase in the risk of melanoma in those who have experienced indoor tanning.
> Even a single visit to a tanning bed can cause melanoma.
> UV radiation in tanning booths can be up to 15 times greater than the sun.
> Melanoma is the most common form of skin cancer for people 25-29 and the second most common for those 15-29.
> One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
Other evidence from the medical community:
Bill co-sponsor Jim Fulghum, a
David Ollila, a surgical oncologist at UNC's Lineberger Cancer Center, points out that young, white women are the heaviest users of tanning beds — and the group most likely to develop melanoma. He helped write the current tanning bed bill.
The problem with this bill is not the medical evidence against tanning. The problem is that it gives government the power to make a decision it has no business making.
Who should decide when it is OK for a young person to use a tanning bed? It should be parents and guardians, not lawmakers.
The government already decides when it's allowable for individuals to buy tobacco products, alcohol, over-the-counter medicines and other legal products.
Deciding the age at when an individual is allowed to use a tanning bed is one more example of government assuming a misplaced role in family life.
We urge members of our local delegation to stick to the legitimate role of government and leave family matters to

Check-In is between 3:30 pm and 7:00 pm. Please call ahead for availability of earlier or later check-in times.

Children 6 years and older are welcome. The extra person charge also applies to each child. Our facility is just not set up for toddlers and younger children. There are many prickly cacti, and some desert critters in the gardens that can certainly be hazardous to unsuspecting little ones.

There is no cancellation charge for cancellations made more than 30 days before the check-in date.
Cancellations made between 10 and 30 days before the check in date will be charged $15.00.
Cancellations made 10 days or less before the check in date will be the full amount of the reservation. A gift certificate, good for 120 days, will be given for the full amount of the reservation of the cancelled reservation. Use of the gift certificate is subject to availability. We will make every effort to rent the room for the timeframe of your cancelled reservation to avoid cancellation fees.
Well mannered pets are allowed with prior permission in the Oso and Tortugas rooms.
Pets are not to be left unattended in the room or on the rom's private patio. Pets are to be kept on a leash at all times. Owners are expected to pick up after their pets have gone to the bathroom and plastic bags will be provided on request. Pet owners are responsible for damage caused by pets and extra fees may be assessed for cleaning or if needed, for replacement of furnishings. Pets are not permitted on the beds or furniture because of the sensitivity of other travellers to pet dander and hair.
Items left at the B&B
If you leave personal items (cell phone chargers, clothes, etc.) please contact us and we will gladly return them to you. There will be a service charge of $25.00 plus the cost of postage. This is due to our rural location and needing to make a special trip to the post office.

George and Marlene were excellent hosts and our room more than met our expectations. Our train was late arriving in El Paso, but we kept Marlene up to date from the train on our progress and they were waiting to welcome us when we finally arrived well after dark. We would recommend this B&B to anyone.

Everything I read online turned out to be true. There were five of us (ages 13 - 75) and we had the Kokopeli and Tortuga rooms with the sitting room in-between. It was a happy, fun place to stay. The owners are great and offered many helpful tips regarding our trip. We would look very forward to to staying here again and highly recommend it to others.

Suleman a.k.a. "Octomom" posed as Jolie in two of the actress' most iconic looks: the Lara Croft costume she wore during for the movie "Tomb Raider" and the infamous black dress she wore to the 2012 Academy Awards.
Although InTouch points out Suleman and Jolie have several things in common -- including big broods and long dark hair -- Octomom believes Jolie definitely "has it easy."
"I do a lot!" Nadya told the magazine regarding her hands-on parenting. "I'm a cook, a chauffeur and a nanny," she said, adding that she doesn't have the perks of fame that come with being a famous mom.
As for the similarities among the two women, Suleman denied seeing the resemblance.
"I get that we both have a lot of kids, but I don't think I look anything like her," she said.
Suleman currently lives in Almdale, Calif., with her 4-year-old octuplets Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Makai, Josiah, Jeremiah and Jonah and her other six children, Elijah, Amerah, Joshua, Aidan, and twins Calyssa and Caleb.

DOE announced on May 5 that it will make up to $7.5 million available
to U.S. industries and universities to support the research and
development of advanced water power systems, including systems that
draw on free-flowing water; ocean waves, tides, or currents; and other
water-based resources. Technologies that generate power from free-flowing water are often referred to as "hydrokinetic" technologies.
Funding is available for industry-led projects involving in-water
testing, development, and deployment of advanced water power
Funding is also available for projects that facilitate the market
penetration of marine and hydrokinetic technologies, including
projects to assess wave and tidal energy resources, develop
international standards for the technologies, investigate issues with
electric grid integration, develop best practices for locating
projects, and identify and mitigate potential impacts on navigation.
Additionally, universities can apply for funding to establish National
Marine Renewable Energy Centers, which will serve as integrated,
standardized test centers for marine and hydrokinetic technologies.
The centers will also serve as information clearinghouses and will
conduct research to advance marine and hydrokinetic energy
The solicitation is part of DOE's effort to establish a program of
research, development, demonstration, and commercial application
activities to expand the production of renewable energy from marine
and hydrokinetic energy technologies. The new effort was authorized by
the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which President Bush
signed in December. DOE anticipates selecting up to 14 recipients for
the in-water testing and market facilitation topics, and up to 3 for
the National Marine Renewable Energy Centers. Applications are due on
June 16. See the DOE press release and the full solicitation on Grants.gov.

Disease prevention in women overview
Screening tests are a basic part of prevention medicine. All screening tests are commonly available through your general doctor. Some specialized tests may be available elsewhere. Take an active role and discuss screening tests with your doctor early in life. The following charts are beneficial (generally simple and safe) screening tests that can help detect diseases and conditions before they become harmful.
Reader Stories
Osteoporosis is a condition with progressive loss of bone density leading to bone fractures. Estrogen is important in maintaining bone density. When estrogen levels drop after menopause, bone loss accelerates. Thus osteoporosis is most common among postmenopausal women.
Screening tests
Measurement of bone density using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan
DEXA bone density scanning can:
Who to test and how often
The National Osteoporosis Foundation guidelines state that all postmenopausal women below age 65 who have risk factors for osteoporosis or medical conditions associated with osteoporosis and all women aged 65 and older should consider bone density testing.
High risk factors for osteoporosis include:
Benefits of early detection
Osteoporosis produces no symptoms until a bone fracture occurs. Bone fracture in osteoporosis can occur with only a minor fall, blow, or even just a twist of the body that ordinarily would not cause an injury.
Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis can decrease the risk of bone fractures.
Prevention measures include:

Denver, Colorado has some of the worst BSL laws and regulations. Who did the research for this story? Over 3,000 Pitbull and other breeds have been put down because of BSL laws. How could you rate the city an A+?January 29 2013 at 2:55 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

Miami is such a great city for dogs that it has BSL laws in place that ban Pitbull's and Pitbull type dogs....give me a break, do you know how many animals have been put to sleep because of these laws?January 29 2013 at 3:01 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
The author clearly did not research very well. San Diego Has 4 dog beaches with lots of areas to run, numerous dog parks, dog friendly outdoor cafes, dog washes, events to support the animal shelters, and more. I live in Kensington. There is an annual dog calendar of neighborhood k-9s which benefits the local branch library.January 29 2013 at 11:08 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

San Diego gets a D+ and is number 62?!? What are these ratings based on? San Diego has over a dozen dog parks and at least 4 dog beaches. How the heck did it get ranked so low?January 28 2013 at 10:53 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I know right, but yet California was rated #1 out of all the other states for most humane state for animals.
Totally conflicting from one poll to another. San Diego is by far one of the best cities for dogs, I don't care what these stupid survey's say.
Not only all of the dog parks, but the number of people who own dogs and the number of places where restaurants have patio areas with bowls of water, the number of dog wash places, pet shops, and more. I live in Kensington . We have an annual calendar of neighborhood dogs and the $$ goes to support the little library. They REALLY messed up on this one.January 29 2013 at 11:07 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down
@ Ariel, before you start saying ignorant ****, you probably should invest in a map of the US and study it closely to learn the locations of each state. I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and thank God we finally got electricity and phone service out here in the sticks. In case you're interested, I thought I'd enlighten you about our animals. Louisiana has one of the best networks of no-kill animal shelters in the country. They are run by loving and compassionate people who truly care about animals. Our Animal Countrol Centers rank high as they are also no-kill. Oh yes and this low class southern state also has dog parks for the enjoyment of it's animals and their owners. In addition to that I thought you'd like to know that many, many people come down to Louisiana for Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, or one of our other festivities or attractions and they love it here so much that they end up staying or coming back to live here because we are a warm, friendly, hospitable and welcoming culture. Oh and BTW, I don't know where you're from, but we don't want your kind down here "in the south" lowering our standards.January 28 2013 at 7:56 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

I don't know where you received your infomation from. To start off with the picture displayed for Anchorage AK is of some tiny timy village somewhere, maybe not even in AK. Anchorage population is around 300,000.
I'm a commissioner on the Anchorage Animal Control Advisory Board serving the Anchorage Assembly and Mayor. We have six dog parks, hundreds of miles of bike/dog/people trails. We are working hard to give animals a better life. Unlike many other cities we also have other factors to work with such as our wild animal population, like bears, moose, wolves, eagles, and non compliance people.
We also have state laws which don't always favor amimals and muti-cultrual views. I guess Im trying to say establishing a list, inaccurate pictures of cities which indicates lack of research, is a poor way to get a point across.
Pittsburgh is not dog friendly at all. i cannot imagine where you found your statistics. it is difficult to find any apartment in the city that takes dogs and most condos do not allow them. definitely a mistake to think that Pittsburgh is dog friendly-msOctober 10 2012 at 10:47 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

In addition to dropping Southland, TNT has also cancelled Monday Mornings. There won't be a second season for the freshman medical drama.
Monday Mornings follows the lives of the talented yet flawed doctors at the Chelsea General Hospital in Portland, Oregon. The title refers to the tough peer review meetings that are run by the hospital's sarcastic Chief of Staff. The cast includes Ving Rhames, Jamie Bamber, Jennifer Finnigan, Bill Irwin, Keong Sim, Sarayu Rao, Emily Swallow, and Alfred Molina.
The show started off the season with just 1.36 million viewers and a 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was less than half of what the Dallas premiere lead-in drew with 2.98 million and a 0.8 demo rating.
The numbers for Monday Mornings didn't get much better as the weeks wore on. The season ended up averaging just 1.39 million viewers and a 0.3 in the demo.
That just wasn't enough for TNT to want to order a second season and they've now officially cancelled it.
What do you think? Are you sorry that TNT has pulled the plug on Monday Mornings? Why do you think it didn't catch on with a bigger audience?

Overview of content related to 'microformats'
This page provides an overview of 1 article related to 'microformats'. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
A microformat is a web-based approach to semantic markup which seeks to re-use existing HTML/XHTML tags to convey metadata and other attributes in web pages and other contexts that support (X)HTML, such as RSS. This approach allows software to process information intended for end-users (such as contact information, geographic coordinates, calendar events, and the like) automatically. Although the content of web pages is technically already capable of "automated processing", and has been since the inception of the web, such processing is difficult because the traditional markup tags used to display information on the web do not describe what the information means. Microformats can bridge this gap by attaching semantics, and thereby obviate other, more complicated, methods of automated processing, such as natural language processing or screen scraping. The use, adoption and processing of microformats enables data items to be indexed, searched for, saved or cross-referenced, so that information can be reused or combined.

As federal employees are furloughed, programs and contractors are cut, and agreement on future federal budgets appears remote, efficient management of the trillions of dollars it takes to operate the government is more important than ever. In Federal News Radio's on-air and online series, "Rise of the Money People: Financial management moves front and center as agencies make the final assault on wasted billions," we shine the light on chief financial officers and their soldiers in the financial wars, their strategies and tactics for waging the fight, the current and emerging weapons in their arsenal, and how their future battles will unfold.
From islands to log cabins, agencies struggle to offload excess property
Tuesday - 4/9/2013, 6:00am EDT
Efforts to offload unused property from the federal books got a boost last month when a team of developers working with the Four Seasons hotel chain submitted the winning $19.5 million bid to purchase the massive Georgetown West Heating Plant from the government.
The Art Deco brick behemoth, near the swanky Georgetown waterfront in Northwest Washington, D.C., had long been a poster child for the difficulties the federal government faces in disposing of excess properties. Despite being mostly vacant for the past decade, the building stood there continuing to rack up $3.5 million in annual upkeep.
The process of disposing of properties that have outlasted their usefulness to the government continues to vex agencies.
Three years ago, President Barack Obama called on civilian agencies to reduce total real-estate costs by $3 billion, a goal they handily surpassed.
But the majority of agency savings resulted not from property disposal but from more small-bore improvements, such as space-management and sustainability initiatives. Of the $3.5 billion agencies reported in real-property savings at the end of 2012, just $984 million came from actually disposing of some of the 14,000 excess properties the government owns.
"We can do one-off disposals, and we do ... We sell off and, in other ways, get rid of excess properties. But it's remarkably difficult for an agency to close down a particular building."
— Dorothy Robyn
As part of the special report, Rise of the Money People, Federal News Radio examines why the government has struggled with real-property management and the reform efforts on the table that could help make a difference.
High-quality data lacking
The government owns some 889,000 buildings and structures, according to fiscal 2010 data — the last year for which complete information is available.
More than 15 percent (or 14,000) of those buildings is considered excess, costing the government $190 million each year to operate and maintain, according to administration estimates. Another 71,000 properties are deemed underused, such as half-empty office buildings or warehouses.
The government's inventory of excess buildings and structures spans everything from everyday office buildings in Washington, D.C., and historic log cabins in the Pacific Northwest to manmade caves and even islands.
High-quality data is key to effective financial management. But when it comes to real-property data — such as knowing the location, condition and occupancy rates for buildings owned by the government — it's hard to come by.
What the sell? View our photo gallery of some of the most unconventional properties owned by the federal government.
Ostensibly, the Federal Real Property Profile aims to collect and manage just this type of information. But federal auditors say the inventory is plagued by incorrect and incomplete data.
In a report issued last year, the Government Accountability Office found rat-infested buildings and properties with radiological contamination were being listed by some agencies as in excellent condition and some vacant office buildings were described as being fully occupied.
"We have a ways to go in improving the quality of that data," Dorothy Robyn, commissioner of the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service told Federal News Radio.
The FRPP, which was created nearly a decade ago during the George W. Bush administration, was designed as a first step toward becoming more systematic about collecting real-property data, she said.
But the effectiveness of the profile is hampered by the fact that, as it currently exists, it's not a "living system," but a one-time annual snapshot of real-estate holdings.
"There's not a damn thing you can do ..."
"If you don't know what you own, then how possibly can you manage it efficiently?" asked Leonard Gilroy, director of government reform at the Reason Foundation, a libertarian-leaning think tank.
GSA and the Federal Real Property Council have attempted to get agencies to provide consistent data, Gilroy said.
"But, it's still not what I would call — and I think what most observers would call — a robust inventory."
Gilroy said the scope and function of the property profile should be expanded to be more of a real-time database of federal assets, as opposed to a simple spreadsheet. It should also be outfitted with geographic information system (GIS) capabilities, he said — the same technology that powers Google Maps.
"You don't have, necessarily, the organizational and sort of structural set-up to have someone to basically crack the whip, and that's really what's needed."
— Leonard Gilroy
In many ways, though, GSA's hands are tied when it comes to improving the current process. GSA-owned properties only account for about 10 percent of the government's total real-estate footprint.
And while the agency is tasked with maintaining the property profile, it can't really compel other agencies to provide better or more complete data, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) said.
"You are a peer agency," she told Robyn at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing in February. "There's not a damn thing you can do when you go to the Department of Energy and say, 'We want your things.' You just can't get it. You can't do it [to] the Department of Agriculture. They're 10 times bigger than you are."
GSA seeks 'painful but necessary' BRAC process
The lack of a centralized authority has stymied efforts to improve the disposal process, experts said.
"You're looking at an organizational chart [with] lines going in different directions, which is not conducive to having any kind of accountable process," Gilroy said. "You don't have, necessarily, the organizational and sort of structural set-up to have someone to basically crack the whip, and that's really what's needed."
The administration has hung its hopes on a property-disposal effort modeled on that used to shutter military bases, known as BRAC. And GSA is strongly on board with such a proposal.
"We need a civilian BRAC," Robyn said.
Robyn has seen up close how effective the BRAC process can be. Before joining GSA in September 2012, Robyn served as the Defense Department's installations chief and oversaw the last few years of the latest round of military base closures there.
The process is often "painful but necessary," she said.
In 2011, the Obama administration introduced the Civilian Property Realignment Act (CPRA), which called for setting up an independent panel tasked with identifying excess federal properties and making recommendations on closures. Congress would then be required to vote, in an all-or-nothing manner, on the panel's recommendations.
The White House's initial proposal, however, got stuck in the partisan gridlock that gripped Congress that year.
The single most powerful thing that my organization is doing now is trying to move our customer agencies to collaborative, open work space ... which allows them to meet their needs with less space.
— Dorothy Robyn
That doesn't mean Congress hasn't continued to act on its own, though. Last term, the House approved two bills aimed at reforming real-property management. One of them, introduced by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), would streamline the existing disposal process, setting up a five-year pilot program under which GSA would conduct expedited sales of 15 of the government's highest value properties.
Chaffetz recently re-introduced this bill and it passed out of the oversight committee last month.
The Senate has taken more tentative steps. Last year, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved a bill, introduced by Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), to speed the sale of excess properties. But it never saw a vote in the full chamber.
Senate aides told Federal News Radio Carper intends to re-introduce the measure some time this term.
GSA takes lead on open, collaborative work spaces
In the absence of sweeping legislative changes, GSA is stuck with the current, mostly piecemeal process.
"We can do one-off disposals," Robyn said. "But it's remarkably difficult for an agency to close down a particular building."
GSA is also finding other ways to make a dent in federal real-property costs, taking the lead in consolidating work spaces and implementing other innovative space-management techniques.
"The single most powerful thing that my organization is doing now is trying to move our customer agencies to collaborative, open work space — much like what the private sector is embracing — which allows them to meet their needs with less space," Robyn said at the oversight hearing in February.
Robyn told Federal News Radio she's a convert to the idea.
"I parachuted into GSA six months [ago] and had a very steep learning curve. And it was helped by the fact that I don't have an office," she said. "I have a permanent work station. I'm four feet from my deputy and eight feet from my chief of staff. And being able to overhear them and listen in on conversations, it just really promotes the flow of information."

Does the Blackberry Playbook work with Bluetooth Speakers?
by TheChoosenOne - 11/1/11 12:05 PM
Hi - I have a silly question... does the Blackberry Playbook work with bluetooth speakers (or anything other than another Blackberry device)? I would like to get one, however it seems that they are not "fully "baked" with functions that other tablets seem to be able to do.
Or should I just save my money and buy a Ipad?
