The flat tops of the civil service
Friday - 4/18/2014, 2:00am EDT
Semi-trick question:
Two GS-15 feds walk into your office, one is from Huntsville, Ala., the other is from San Francisco. How do you tell the difference?
All things being equal, the fed from San Francisco will probably be a little shorter with a flattened head. The result of years of bumping up against an artificial but very solid salary ceiling. Hitting that ceiling has a lifetime impact on both pay and pension.
That ceiling on maximum salary is $157,100. For GS-15s in San Francisco, the pay cap begins at the sixth step of their grade.
In Los Angeles and Houston, the third top-paying cities in the federal government, GS-15s come up against the pay cap in the eighth step of their grade.
In Washington, D.C., Chicago and Boston, GS- 15s can move up and get pay raises until they hit the cap at the ninth step of their grade.
Patricia Niehaus, president of the Federal Managers Association, said GS-15s are capped at the 10 step in Denver, Philadelphia and Seattle. Unless executive pay rates go up next year, more and more GS-15s will bump up against it. The maximum GS federal salary is limited to Level IV of the executive service. That has been $157,100 for several years now.
Niehaus was the leadoff guest on our Your Turn radio program Wednesday. She had some interesting things to say about the impact of the pay cap on government, and about the ongoing debate over what Uncle Sam pays women vs. men. Feds in the same grades and steps get the same salary regardless of sex. But because women sometimes enter the workforce later, leave to raise families, and go into occupations that pay less, the most recent study says they earn 87 cents for every dollar Uncle Sam pays male employees.
Meanwhile, a Federal News Radio reader crunched the numbers and estimates that the pay cap means a salary loss of $19,960 per year for capped workers in San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland. The loss is almost $11,000 a year for top-level GS-15s in Houston and New York City.
Often forgotten in the pay cap debate is the fact that it creates a lifetime reduction in the annuity that the GS-15 will get upon retirement. Retirement income is based on the employee's length-of-service and highest three- year average salary, not what he or she should — by law — be making.

A majority of Americans — 78 percent — said they wouldn't eat meat grown in a lab if the technology existed, according to a poll conducted by Smithsonian magazine and the Pew Research Center. Men are more willing to try the "in vitro meat" than women — 27 percent to 14 percent.
Charities, lawmakers voice concerns over OPM's rewrite of CFC
New regulations published this week by the Office of Personnel Management aim to overhaul the Combined Federal Campaign, in part by eliminating cash donations in favor of online giving and requiring charities to pay fees to cover the administrative costs of the program. But some charity groups say OPM's regulations are too focused on wringing more efficiencies out of the annual fundraising drive instead of on re-energizing a workplace-giving program that has seen declining donations in recent years.

"This invitation was simple and perfect. We had a lot of information to print and it fit beautifully without looking too crowded. The quality of the paper and the color was beautiful!"
"We used this for our wedding invitations and customized the silhouette color to Verbena to fit our wedding colors. I also asked Wedding Paper Divas to customize the wording since the site of our reception was different from the ceremony. The designer did this for me; no problem. We were married in Hawaii and the site of our ceremony was similar to the card design, which is why we picked this one. It's a beautiful, classic design, and simple enough not to distract from the wording of the invitation. I received a lot of compliments on these invitations and highly recommend them!"
"The response cards are perfect for our destination wedding. High quality paper and beautiful texture. We had additional information printed on the back with no problems. Love them."
"I changed the layout and wording of the invite and the changes were made without any issues. I was provided with a proof once the changes were made to ensure I was happy before the invites were printed. I cannot be happier with the end result! Thanks so much wedding paper divas!!!!"
"The quality,design service and delivery all exceeded my expectations. It can be difficult to know exactly what you are getting by looking at a computer screen. The designer was very helpful and ensured that the invitation was perfect in every way."

This bracelet is absolutely stunning. It looks soreal and is such a wonderful weight. My husband purchased it for our anniversary and I couldn't stop looking at it on my wrist.

SEATTLE: The Boeing Company may have to revise its offer to sell the F/A 18F Super Hornets to Malaysia into an updated version of the two-seater fighter jets by the time the country decides to confirm orders.
Business Development Director for Boeing Integrated Defence Systems International Operations for Naval Systems David J. Schweppe said the worlds second-largest defence company was currently upgrading the multi-mission jet into a more advanced F/A 18F Block 2 from its existing form called Block 1.
Schweppe said during a Boeing Asia Pacific Media tour in St. Louis recently that the upgraded version would have more advanced radar, cockpit, targeting and other avionics system.
Malaysia was given a proposal on Block 1. As the programme matures, the offer will likely have to be updated, he said.
However, he was unable to say if this would cost more. Boeing has been is discussions with Malaysia to provide a package of the fighter jets and its weapon system in a deal worth around RM5.7bil.
The package, submitted more than two years ago includes an offset programme.
This is a deal that has been on the table for several years, said Jim Albaugh, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Integrated Defence Systems, in reference to the efforts made by Boeing to come up with an offset programme aimed at making the offer to Malaysia alluring.
The Super Hornets, currently in service with the US Navy, has yet to register any international sales.
Apart from Malaysia, Boeing is also trying to market the F/A 18F to several other countries that presently fly the older F/A 18A through F/A 18D.

More than 200 Bayer volunteers team up to help restore a facility for at-risk children and rescued horses.
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Environmental Science, a division of Bayer CropScience LP, gathered more than 200 employee volunteers on Bayer's 150th anniversary, Aug. 1, to foster a healthier space for people in need at Zuma's Rescue Ranch. Zuma's Rescue Ranch is an animal-assisted learning center in Denver that pairs rescued horses with at-risk children to help them learn to bond, build trust and develop life skills to support their future. Bayer donated employee time, expertise and manpower – as well as Bayer Advanced products – to provide this facility with much needed beautification, new construction and maintenance updates.
"As Bayer celebrates 150 years of Science For A Better Life, our work at Zuma's expresses how we at Environmental Science live out this mission," said Gilles Galliou, president of Environmental Science North America at Bayer CropScience. "We are passionate about fostering healthy environments where we live, work and play, and we hope that our service and Bayer Advanced product donations benefit Zuma's Rescue Ranch for years to come."
Jodi and Paul Messenich founded Zuma's Rescue Ranch in 2004 with the mission to provide a place of sanctuary and healing for the voiceless humans and animals in the metro Denver region.
"The wellness programs we've developed at Zuma's Rescue Ranch promote healing – and Bayer's volunteers helped us reclaim areas of the Ranch we simply didn't have the resources to maintain," said co-founder Jodi Messenich. "We're excited to continue our work, and thank Bayer for giving the organization an image it can be proud of."
Bayer employees broke into task force teams to complete site improvements including the construction and restoration of landscape beds, garden gates and walkways. The team built and installed a pergola, a duck pond and a chicken coop as well as landscaped the facility's outdoor venue, cleaned stalls, seeded pastures, and painted Zuma's signs and indoor arena. Bayer Advanced donated products from its Natria® line of non-synthetic solutions to protect the facility against pests, weeds and diseases, and to support both onsite activities and ongoing maintenance.

NOTEBOOK: Victory almost makes season harder to swallow
And they still might have a chance.
A Los Angeles Times report said Pagano is headed to UCLA to become the Bruins' defensive coordinator, a position he was passed over for with the Chargers in favor of Greg Manusky. But Manusky is expected to be let go after one season, and Pagano could be a candidate to replace him. Pagano and offensive coordinator Clarence Shelmon are the longest-tenured coaches on the staff, having been in San Diego since 2002.
Assistant coach contract status are difficult to positively ascertain, but it is believed only special teams coach Rich Bisaccia, defensive line coach Don Johnson and receivers coach Charlie Joiner are the only ones under contract beyond 2011. The team had discussions with other assistants during the season, but did not come to extension agreements.
No chance for Scifres
Mike Scifres averaged a career-high 47.5 yards per punt this season. But for the second time in three games, Scifres did not punt on Sunday, and with just 47 punts, Scifres fell three short of qualifying for the team record.
"No one would have ever thought that would happen – 47 punts," said a smiling Scifres, whose 46.7-yard mark in 2010 remains highest in team history. "But it's a team game. That's big that we didn't punt. It was important to end the year on a high."
Barnes leaves early
Team sack leader Antwan Barnes was ejected six minutes into the game after tangling with Raiders receiver Louis Murphy at the end of a long gain. When Barnes got up waving his arms and yelling, he made contact with the official attempting to separate the two players.
Said Norv Turner: "Everyone who has ever played in this league knows that if an official is shoving you back and you knock his arm back, you make contact with the official, you're going to get thrown out of the game."
With Travis LaBoy out a second straight game with a knee injury, Barnes' ejection left just Darryl Gamble and Shaun Phillips at outside linebacker. When Phillips cramped up and went to the locker room with 5½ in the first half, reserve inside linebacker Na'il Diggs moved outside. Phillips returned to start the second half.
Jackson disses Turner
After his team missed the playoffs and set the NFL record for penalties and penalty yards in a season, Raiders coach Hue Jackson skipped the traditional postgame handshake with Turner.
"I was just pissed," Jackson said. "I needed to get inside. I didn't want to be harassed by people."
The Raiders set the yardage record less than two minutes into the game and extended it to 1,358 by game's end. That's 54 more yards than the 1998 Kansas City Chiefs lost due to penalty. The Raiders also broke the Chiefs' penalty record by having eight penalties accepted against them on Sunday, bringing their season total to 163, five more than the '98 Chiefs.
Mathews out, Brinkley gets yards
Ryan Mathews was inactive due to a calf strain, assuring he would finish 54 scrimmage yards shy of 1,600. That leaves LaDainian Tomlinson as the only running back in team history to gain more than 1,600 scrimmage yards in a season. Tomlinson did it every season from 2002-07.

Following the 2014 Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix, Forward Racing announced that American Colin Edwards would "not be racing in Brno and in the second part of the 2014 season." Edwards
first announced
his impending retirement during Round 2 at Circuit of the Americas.
The announcement doesn't come as a complete shock, as it was revealed prior to the Indy GP that Edwards would not be racing at Brno. Pre-race interviews with Edwards showed that he still planned on entering select rounds, Silverstone in particular, as a competitor, but the statement offered by Edwards via Forward Racing below appears to indicate that the level of his participation in Great Britain remains up in the air.
"It has been a great weekend here at Indy with lots of support from the family, the friends and the team. I'm not 100% certain about how many races I will do till the end of the season but for sure I will be in Silverstone, weather I will be racing or not. I have a big fans support there and I cannot miss this appointment. I am thinking about my future, the different possibilities. I'm happy and I look forward to the second part of my life."
In the same press release, Forward Racing Team Owner/Media Action CEO Giovanni Cuzari offered these remarks:
"I'd like to thank Colin Edwards for everything he has done for our team. Our adventure in MotoGP has started thanks to him. Two times World Superbike Champion and successful rider in MotoGP, he accepted the challenge of the CRT project with us, scoring the first ever pole position and CRT win in Qatar 2012 in the year debut of this new class. From that race we have constantly grown, improving the results. It was thanks to his experience that last year we chose the best package on the grid to race together in the new Open category. His contribution has been crucial and we can now count 8 wins out of 10 races. We will see Colin again this year as a wild card and he will always be part of the Forward Racing family. I'd like to thank once again Colin, amazing rider and great man."
Moto2 rider Alex De Angelis has been selected to ride in Edwards' place, the official announcement coming from Forward Racing the day after the Indy GP.
"I have always considered our team as a big family and Alex has already been part of our team," explained Cuzari. "Moreover he has experience in MotoGP so I thought that he was the best rider to line up with our colors and I'm happy to give him this opportunity to return in the premiere class."
"It's a dream come true for me to return in MotoGP," said De Angelis. "I was working on this project last year, when I was racing with this team. Racing the second part of the championship with the NGM Forward Racing Team on board of a Forward Yamaha it's a great occasion and I'd like to thank Giovanni Cuzari for this opportunity as well as the Tasca Racing Team that released me. I know that it won't be easy for me to be competitive from the beginning as we have no time test the bike before Brno, but we will give my best. I can count on a very good team and competitive package so I really look forward to it."

Colin's a nice guy. I bet he never thought he'd be racing at 40 when he started as a teenager on RDs. Good luck to him.

I've had a colonoscopy, but the tube was not long enough to get to the end of my colon, about 1 ft left unseen.
Listen to your wife. She loves you!
You are not correct. That is why they do sigmoidoscopy which is in lower 1/3 of the colon, because many cancers are in the lower 1/3 of the colon and in the rectum. You really need to have the last 1 foot of your colon and rectum checked for cancer. I agree with your wife! However, as the colonoscope is either inserted or withdrawn is when the physician views the lower part of the colon. Your doctor screwed up, what you are being told does not make sense. The colonoscope has a lighted lens at the end and that is where the viewing takes place.
I would think the barium study would be easier to handle then a colonoscopy. If you have a problem, and they could not give you an answer, it may be hidden in that last foot. What's wrong?
What makes you not want to do it? The prep? Well, I think you should get the procedure done. It's in both you and your wife's best interest; not to mention other family members.

Middle period
Hardy and Emma Gifford were married, against the wishes of both their families, in September 1874. At first they moved rather restlessly about, living sometimes in London, sometimes in Dorset. His record as a novelist during this period was somewhat mixed. The Hand of Ethelberta (1876), an artificial social comedy turning on versions and inversions of the British class system, was poorly received and has never been widely popular. The Return of the Native (1878), on the other hand, was increasingly admired for its powerfully evoked setting of Egdon Heath, which was based on the sombre countryside Hardy had known as a child. The novel depicts the disastrous marriage between Eustacia Vye, who yearns romantically for passionate experiences beyond the hated heath, and Clym Yeobright, the returning native, who is blinded to his wife's needs by a naively idealistic zeal for the moral improvement of Egdon's impervious inhabitants. Hardy's next works were The Trumpet-Major (1880), set in the Napoleonic period, and two more novels generally considered "minor"—A Laodicean (1881) and Two on a Tower (1882). The serious illness which hampered completion of A Laodicean decided the Hardys to move to Wimborne in 1881 and to Dorchester in 1883.
It was not easy for Hardy to establish himself as a member of the professional middle class in a town where his humbler background was well known. He signaled his determination to stay by accepting an appointment as a local magistrate and by designing and building Max Gate, the house just outside Dorchester in which he lived until his death. Hardy's novel The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) incorporates recognizable details of Dorchester's history and topography. The busy market-town of Casterbridge becomes the setting for a tragic struggle, at once economic and deeply personal, between the powerful but unstable Michael Henchard, who has risen from workman to mayor by sheer natural energy, and the more shrewdly calculating Donald Farfrae, who starts out in Casterbridge as Henchard's protégé but ultimately dispossesses him of everything that he had once owned and loved. In Hardy's next novel, The Woodlanders (1887), socioeconomic issues again become central as the permutations of sexual advance and retreat are played out among the very trees from which the characters make their living, and Giles Winterborne's loss of livelihood is integrally bound up with his loss of Grace Melbury and, finally, of life itself.
Wessex Tales (1888) was the first collection of the short stories that Hardy had long been publishing in magazines. His subsequent short-story collections are A Group of Noble Dames (1891), Life's Little Ironies (1894), and A Changed Man (1913). Hardy's short novel The Well-Beloved (serialized 1892, revised for volume publication 1897) displays a hostility to marriage that was related to increasing frictions within his own marriage.
Late novels
The closing phase of Hardy's career in fiction was marked by the publication of Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891) and Jude the Obscure (1895), which are generally considered his finest novels. Though Tess is the most richly "poetic" of Hardy's novels, and Jude the most bleakly written, both books offer deeply sympathetic representations of working-class figures: Tess Durbeyfield, the erring milkmaid, and Jude Fawley, the studious stonemason. In powerful, implicitly moralized narratives, Hardy traces these characters' initially hopeful, momentarily ecstatic, but persistently troubled journeys toward eventual deprivation and death.
Though technically belonging to the 19th century, these novels anticipate the 20th century in regard to the nature and treatment of their subject matter. Tess profoundly questions society's sexual mores by its compassionate portrayal and even advocacy of a heroine who is seduced, and perhaps raped, by the son of her employer. She has an illegitimate child, suffers rejection by the man she loves and marries, and is finally hanged for murdering her original seducer. In Jude the Obscure the class-ridden educational system of the day is challenged by the defeat of Jude's earnest aspirations to knowledge, while conventional morality is affronted by the way in which the sympathetically presented Jude and Sue change partners, live together, and have children with little regard for the institution of marriage. Both books encountered some brutally hostile reviews, and Hardy's sensitivity to such attacks partly precipitated his long-contemplated transition from fiction to poetry.

Residents of northern Mali welcomed on Sunday the military intervention against Islamist rebels, but African nations were still struggling to get their troops on the ground due to financial shortfalls and logistical hurdles.
During an emergency summit in Ivory Coast on Saturday, West African leaders asked the international community to provide more support in Mali. To date, just 100 African troops - out of a planned contingent of 5,800 - have reached Mali's capital Bamako.
About 2,000 French ground troops are leading the fight against Islamist insurgents in the country's north. But French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has stressed that Africa ultimately "must take the lead." Northern Mali's local population is "relieved and happy that liberation is under way," El Hadj Baba Haidara, a member of parliament for Timbuktu, told Malian news website Afribone in an interview. Northern Malian leaders had been appealing to the international community for help since May, he said.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), however, is not pleased by the pressure it has been put under to deploy its troops.
France had "imposed" a military option, head of ECOWAS and Ivorian president Alassane Ouattara complained, while West African leaders were still trying to find a political solution to the conflict.
African troops had initially scheduled to reach Mali only in September. Their deployment is now been planned for the coming weeks.
Despite the complaints, ECOWAS was nevertheless hoping for a quick resolution to the conflict, Mr. Ouattara said, so as to prevent Mali from "becoming a nest for terrorists." African Union (AU) chair Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma also expressed "concern over the worsening of the scourge of terrorism" in the entire Sahel-Saharan region.
In other developments, unidentified gunmen killed two Nigerian soldiers who were on their way to Mali to help fight Islamist rebels, according to local newspapers reports. Several other soldiers were severely injured in the ambush.
A contingent of 190 soldiers was attacked on Saturday morning while travelling in three busses through Kogi state towards Bamako when it came under fire, Colonel Femi Olorunyomi told Nigerian newspaper The Tribune. Improvised explosives had also been planted on the highway.

CHANDIGARH: What's in a name? A lot, when it involves politics and credit. Punjab and Haryana are slugging it out over the nomenclature of an international airport proposed on a Punjab land adjacent to Chandigarh.
While Haryana wants it to be named Chandigarh International Airport, Punjab is pitching for Mohali International Airport.
The Airport Authority of India (AAI) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the governments of Punjab and Haryana last week for the upgrade of the Chandigarh (domestic) airport for international flights.
Mohali International Airport was one of the main development planks of the Akali Dal during its election campaign in February last year. After the AAI okayed the project, chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and son Sukhbir listed it as one of the major achievements of their government.
Last week, however, as the MOU was about to be signed, Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda put a spanner seeking the inclusion of his state as a partner in the project as setting up of a new international airport involved upgrading the existing Chandigarh airport, though the expansion would take place on Punjab land. Hooda contended that since Haryana shared Chandigarh as capital with Punjab, it had a rightful claim to be party to the project.
To avoid an ugly situation, Union minister for civil aviation Praful Patel prevailed upon Parkash Singh Badal to make Haryana a partner in the project, leading to last-minute changes in the MoU that now lists both Punjab and Haryana as equal partners.
Further, Hooda sought a categorical assurance from the Union minister that the international airport will not be renamed and be called Chandigarh International Airport. After signing the modified MoU with Haryana's nod, Patel made a categorical statement that the airport would be called Chandigarh International Airport.
On Wednesday, however, Punjab wrote to the Union civil aviation ministry that it be renamed Mohali International Airport.
Punjab has, meanwhile, put on hold its notification to acquire 300 acres for the purpose, indicating that it would not like the project to be hijacked by Haryana. The MoU says the project would be piloted by a special purpose vehicle constituting representatives of the AAI, Punjab and Haryana. The AAI would meet 51 per cent of the project cost, while Punjab and Haryana would share the remaining 50-50.
Badal said: "We want an international airport at Mohali, we leave the related issues to Patel to deal with."
Countering the allegation of Haryana having sabotaged the project conceived, developed and pursued by none other than Shiromani Akali Dal working president Sukhbir Singh Badal, the chief minister tried to underplay the development by saying, "It is good for us that the project continues to remain in Mohali, but we will have to spend only Rs200 crore as the Haryana government will now chip in with a similar amount. We stand to gain by the entire exercise."
Meanwhile, Hooda's decision to share the cost of a project that would largely come up on Punjab land has made him a target of his political opponents.

Weight, Exercise Routine for Pregnancy?
My sister just found out the is pregnant, and in her eyes has just now really gotten back her figure from her last pregnancy. She was asking me if I knew about good maternity workouts just to keep her in shape so its not so hard after the little booger pops out. Any suggestions, or anything from people who have researched this before would be wonderful... Thanks!!
She currently lifts weights/does body pump, about 2-3 times a week. She also has some problem with her legs; where if she works them out hard they tend to bruise up, and after the bruising heals there are broken capillaries in place of the bruise.
Pregnant women shouldn't do anything they wouldn't normally do. If she's been doing a routine for a while, continue with it and maybe modify it, but DO NOT increase intensity.

Eucalyptus longirostrata
Eucalyptus longirostrata (Blakely) Johnson and Hill is commonly known as Grey Gum (Brooker and Kleinig, 1994). Although newly introduced to South Africa, it has shown the potential to become an important species for commercial plantations (Gardner, 2001; Snedden et al., 2007).
Native to Australia, E. longirostrata is widespread in south-eastern Queensland, the Expedition Range, and the Blackdown Tableland (Brooker and Kleinig, 1994). E. longirostrata grows on a range of sites on low hills and ridges in shallow soils of sandstone origin (Boland et al., 2006). The natural distribution of E. longirostrata is shown in Figure 1.6.
Figure 1.6 The natural distribution of Eucalyptus longirostrata in Australia (from Brooker and Kleinig, 1994)
E. longirostrata is a medium-sized tree with bark shedding to ground level, with a granular and mottled surface (Brooker and Kleinig, 1994) (Figure 1.7).
Figure 1.7 Eucalyptus longirostrata progeny trial in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
In South African trials, unimproved E. longirostrata has compared favourably with commercial hybrid clones for growth yield, pulp yield and 'pulp ability' (Gardner, 2001).In addition, its high density and reported high disease resistance (Gardner et al., 2007) make it a suitable hybrid partner candidate (Snedden et al., 2007).

According to a sensational report, the widow of a Chicago lottery winner who was poisoned with cyanide fought with the man's siblings over control of his estate. The battle included a fight over his nearly half a million-dollar prize money. The lottery winner, Urooj Khan, owned several dry cleaning operations and some real estate when he died suddenly over the summer, only days before he was due to collect his winnings from the Illinois Lottery.
Initial Impressions Were False
There were initially no signs of trauma, which led authorities to declare he had died of natural cases. However, a relative later came forward with suspicions that prompted a more complete investigation. A thorough examination revealed that the man had been intentionally poisoned.
Still No Killer
Police still haven't identified a killer or possible motives. They have also not said if the lottery winnings might have played a role in the poisoning. The man's widow, Shabana Ansari, claims she had nothing to do with his death and, so far, there's no indication police are treating her as a suspect.
Death Without a Will Caused Problems
The fact that the lottery winner died without a will created the perfect opportunity for a legal battle royal between his surviving family members. The siblings and the widow locked horns over the man's more than $1.2 million estate, which includes his winnings, business holdings, cars and several bank accounts. As part of the battle, Khan's brother and sister filed documents in the probate court to protect Khan's daughter's stake in his estate. A judge decided to freeze the lottery check when those family members alleged that Khan's widow was moving to liquidate his assets.
Intestacy Law Kicks In
Under Illinois intestacy rules, Khan's estate would normally be split between his wife and his daughter from a prior marriage (under California's intestacy law Khan's wife and his daughter would each be entiteld to half of the estate). The recent probate settlement gives ? of lottery winnings to the widow, and ? to the daughter. Additionally the wife keeps the commercial properties, the business, their primary home, and all the vehicles.
Get a Will Or Face Similar Trouble - Even Without the Poison
The incident, though especially tragic, should serve as a cautionary tale of what can go wrong without proper estate planning. If Khan had had a trust in place there would have been no need for a nasty fight between his surviving family members - possibly even for his death. If he had established an estate plan that contained his last wishes, all of his assets (including his lottery winnings) would simply have been distributed as he saw fit.

JMR Graphics Responds to An Article Discussing A Man's Out-of-Home Campaign to Promote Ovarian Cancer Awareness
Nationwide truck wraps manufacturer JMR Graphics comments on an article discussing how a man helped spread cancer awareness in his community after his wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Central Islip, NY (PRWEB) March 28, 2014
JMR Graphics, a nationwide truck wraps manufacturer, responds to an article discussing how Georgia resident Chris Baxter wrapped his truck and boat with messages encouraging women to get tested for ovarian cancer and providing them with information on how to do so.
According to a March 25th article from AJC.com titled "Real people: Man wraps vehicle with messages of hope," a man from Georgia is using mobile advertisements to encourage women to get tested for ovarian cancer after receiving notice that his wife had been diagnosed with the disease. The man, Chris Baxter, has teamed up with the Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance and has wrapped his vehicle and boat with the Alliance's public service messages. These advertisements provide women with information regarding ovarian cancer testing.
Baxter says in the article, "I'm a reminder that this disease is hard on the caregivers, too. And like a guy, I want to solve this problem now. I'd like to get enough people behind this mission to solve the problem." Chris thought of placing the ads on his truck and boat because he is constantly traveling all over the country. He sees this method as the easiest and quickest way to advertise.
TJ Panell, a representative from JMR Graphics, says, "Vehicle wraps are the best way to get advertisements and educational messages out there. They are cheap and generate thousands of impressions daily."

Tjebbe was looking for help in updating his servers:
We have installed the correct HPSUM-RPM and now we are able to discover the system.
We have select the correct bundle of the latest SPP 2013-09-0(B)
HP Service Pack for ProLiant bundle, located in /hp/swpackages containing:
Linux firmware and software smart component
And what we see is that we are only able to upgrade the Linux firmware components and not the Linux drivers and agents.
Info from Kim:
HP SUM 5.3.5 will only show the components that are available for deployment. Since you are running on Windows, HP SUM will only show the Linux FW components as HP SUM for Windows cannot deploy rpms to Linux targets. You'll have to run HP SUM 5.3.5 on a Linux system to deploy SW/ rpms to remote Linux targets. Additionally, the recently released HP SUM 6.0.0 does have the ability to deploy both FW and SW/rpms to remote Linux nodes from a Windows system. Here is the support matrix for HP SUM 6.0.:
So you have a choice as to how to proceed – use HP SUM 6.0.0 or use HP SUM 5.3.5 on a system running Linux.

My Two Cents: Blu-ray/DVD News Catch-up – Universal to restore 15 silent films, plus Olive's July Slate & more http://t.co/ic656p7DFE
I'm back after an unexpected day's absence there. I've been fighting a flu for the last few days and you know how that goes. It just caught up with me yesterday. Luckily, a day's worth of sleep worked wonders.
To start off today, we've got a couple new Blu-ray reviews from Tim Salmons: Criterion's Eyes Without a Face and La Cage aux Folles. Methinks, somebody took advantage of Barnes & Noble's 50% off sale. LOL! [Read on here…]
Just a quick one today as there's not an abundance of release news to report.
Anchor Bay Films has set Battle of the Damned coming to BD and DVD on 2/18. The action films stars Dolph Lundgren and features zombies, robots and what have you.
Lionsgate has Thanks for Sharing set for Blu-ray and DVD on 1/7, starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Lionsgate also has Duck Dynasty: Season 4 coming on Blu-ray and DVD on 2/18. [Read on here…]
Okay, we've got a couple things that should be of interest to some of you today…
First, we've confirmed with Fox that the new Robocop Blu-ray Disc due on 1/21 is remastered from a 4K transfer and it's definitely the director's cut version of the film. Extras will include audio commentary with director Paul Verhoeven, writer Ed Neumeier and executive producer Jon Davison, deleted scenes, a new Q&A with the Filmmakers, the Flesh and Steel: The Making of Robocop documentary, 5 legacy featurettes (Shooting Robocop, Making Robocop, Villains of Old Detroit, Special Effects: Then and Now and Robocop: Creating a Legend), The Boardroom: Storyboard with commentary by animator Phil Tippett, an Easter egg, the theatrical trailer and a TV spot. [Read on here…]
Afternoon, folks! Hope you all had a nice holiday weekend with family and friends. Sarah and I spent our Thanksgiving in New Orleans with family and it was pretty swell. I ate way too much good food (NoLA is like that). If I lived there, I'd have to run about 12 miles a day just to work off the calories from everything I wanted to eat: Crawfish étouffée, jambalaya, gumbo, po-boys, tartine, beignets and cafe au lait… MMmmmmmm. They do know how to cook down there.
So we've got a couple things for you this afternoon. First, our own Tim Salmons has checked in with reviews of two more classics on Blu-ray Disc from Criterion, including Richard III and The Earrings of Madame de…. Enjoy! [Read on here…]
Happy Thanksgiving, folks! A day early we know, but this is going to be our last post here at The Bits until Monday, as we all go off to celebrate the holiday with family. Couple things for you today…
First, we're pleased to bring you a trio of additional Blu-ray Disc reviews today. Tim has checked in with his thoughts on Criterion's Lonesome and The Uninvited in HD, as well as Scream Factory's The Horror Show. All are now available. [Read on here…]

Rugby Championship preview: Australia v New Zealand
Last Updated: 17/08/13 11:03am
The 2013 Rugby Championship gets underway on Saturday as the All Blacks travel to Sydney to face the Wallabies in an eagerly anticipated curtain-raiser.
Defending champions New Zealand open the campaign looking for their 100th Test victory over rivals Australia, who have won just one of the previous five meetings between the sides.
The duo's most recent encounter came 10 months ago when All Black Dan Carter failed to land a final-minute drop goal in Brisbane, leaving the sides inseparable at 18-18.
Australia enter the tournament under new leadership with former Queensland Reds coach Ewen McKenzie taking the reins following the Wallabies Test series defeat to the British and Irish Lions earlier in the year.
New dawn
In naming his inaugural squad, 48-year-old McKenzie makes eight changes to the side which lined up against the Lions in the deciding Test match in July.
Playmaker Matt Toomua is the sole starting debutant as he assumes the number 10 jersey while fellow uncapped Brumbies Scott Sio, Scott Fardy, Nic White and Tevita Kuridrani could feature from the bench.
Rugby Championship Live!
You can see all the action from the ANZ Stadium as Australia host New Zealand in the opening Rugby Championship game on Sky Sports 4 HD from 10:30am.
Further changes in the Wallabies camp comprise of Ben Mowen switching to No. 8 while prop James Slipper, lock Rob Simmons and flankers Hugh McMeniman and Michael Hooper are all called into the starting XV.
Melbourne Rebels forward James O'Connor, who started at fly-half previously, moves onto the left wing while Jesse Mogg takes the full-back berth after an impressive introduction against the Lions.
Meanwhile, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has selected an experienced team which boasts a combined 874 caps and an average age of 27.
Captain Richie McCaw returns to lead New Zealand in his 117th Test following a sabbatical away from the field while fellow Crusaders player Ryan Crotty could make his debut from the bench.
The front row trio of Andrew Hore, Owen Franks and Tony Woodcock lead a veteran pack which also includes McCaw in the flanks and Kieran Read at No 8.
Chiefs flanker Liam Messam was set to partner McCaw but a hamstring injury has forced the Super Rugby-winning forward to withdraw, paving the way for 22-year-old Steven Luatua to make his first start.
Aaron Cruden takes the fly-half role with Aaron Smith alongside him at scrum-half while Ben Smith, Julian Savea and Israel Dagg combine in an exciting back three for the All Blacks.
You can see all the action from the Rugby Championship live on Sky Sports.
Australia: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Israel Folau, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Christian Leali'ifano, 11 James O'Connor, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Will Genia, 8 Ben Mowen, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Hugh McMeniman, 5 James Horwill (capt), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 James Slipper.
Replacements: 16 Saia Fainga'a, 17 Scott Sio, 18 Sekope Kepu, 19 Scott Fardy, 20 Liam Gill, 21 Nic White, 22 Quade Cooper, 23 Tevita Kuridrani.
New Zealand: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Ben Smith, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Kieran Read, 7 Richie McCaw (capt), 6 Steven Luatua, 5 Samuel Whitelock, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Andrew Hore, 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements: 16 Keven Mealamu, 17 Ben Franks, 18 Charlie Faumuina, 19 Brodie Retallick, 20 Sam Cane, 21 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 22 Beauden Barrett, 23 Ryan Crotty.
What they said...
Wallabies head coach Ewen McKenzie
"When we picked the team we didn't spend one minute looking at how many Test caps a player had or the number of debutants. It was picked on performance over a sustained period of time and on how we want to play the game.
"The fact that five guys haven't played a Test before isn't a concern. Everyone has to start from somewhere and we definitely haven't picked them on one game. Rather, they are starting their Test careers off the back of consistently strong performances at a provincial level."
All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen
"There's huge excitement in the group as the Bledisloe Cup is a very important trophy for the All Blacks.With the changing of the guard in the Australian coaching group, it adds a little bit of the unexpected to the challenge. Therefore, we need to ready for anything they chuck at us.
"Whilst the expectations will be as high as they always are for the All Blacks to perform and win, I have a feeling there will also be huge expectations on the Australians because of the changes, and it will be interesting to see how their players and their new coaching team cope with this. The expectation is to go over there and play with real intensity, physicality and accuracy."
The Rugby Championship 2013
Horwill: Came right in the end
James Horwill was a satisfied Australian skipper after the Wallabies crushed Argentina 54-17 in Rosario
Just two good
New Zealand and South Africa have taken rugby union to a whole new level, says Will Greenwood.

Zeroing in on next foe: Jets
It's San Diego's high-flying offense vs. N.Y.'s stingy defense
•The Chargers' 20th-ranked run defense against the Jets' top-ranked rushing offense.
•The Chargers' inability to run (31st in the league) against the Jets' top-ranked rushing defense.
•The Chargers' 28.4 points per game on offense (fourth) against the stingiest defense in the league (14.8 points per game).
•The Chargers' 271.1 passing yards per game (fourth) against the Jets' league-low average of 153.7 passing yards allowed.
•Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, who had six interceptions during the regular season and another one Saturday, against the Chargers' Vincent Jackson. Revis was targeted 108 times and allowed just 40 receptions, the lowest burned rate (37 percent) among the league's starting cornerbacks. Jackson led the league with a 17.2-yard average.
•Jets QB Mark Sanchez, who became just the fourth rookie QB since 1950 to win a playoff game, and his ability to build on Saturday's 12-for-15 performance.
And Ryan will definitely be quoted.
Yesterday, as the Chargers were immediately favored by a touchdown, Ryan assuredly and affably continued to play up his team as the underdogs that should not be.
"If someone wants to take us lightly, that's OK," he said. "We'll run right through them also. But I can promise you, teams are going to look at us and not want to play us."
The Chargers didn't sound like they would be underestimating the Jets.
What they talked about yesterday was the Jets' physicality.
"It's going to be a physical week," Shawne Merriman said.
"They're a tough, gritty team," Hardwick said. "They play hard football. They like to hit and be hit. We've got a challenge."
And head coach Norv Turner actually had a premonition.
The Chargers, having already played the Bengals, spent its time last week working mostly on their own issues. But they also looked ahead to things the Patriots and Jets do specifically. And before the coaches disbanded for the weekend, he predicted they'd be playing the Jets.
"The Jets are playing with a lot of confidence," he said. "... It was a shot in the dark, but I had a feeling."

"Victor, good news. The co . . ." Victor's attention was focused on other matters, distant matters as his lawyer spoke. "Victor?" his attention was refocused when the lawyer spoke to him once more.
"Yes?" he was almost annoyed as he refocused his attention on his lawyer Bartholomew behind the wooden fine desk.
"I took the papers to court, the judge looked them over" the lawyer took a brief pause as he went through a folder, presenting a statement to Victor "He said yes, the one fifty grand are being processed as we speak, large transactions take time, but we'll sort out all the paper work and it'll only take twenty four hours. As for the building, possession of it has already been transferred to you"
Victor looked to the lawyer once more, his eyes mildly bloodshot. "I suggest you get some sleep Victor" the lawyer didn't want to sound rude, but spoke out of concern for his client's safety. Indeed Victor had been drinking a few hours ago, having never been drunk due to his healing factor, he now had a way to drown the pain away and try mortal things for a change.
"Right . . . I should" Victor stepped up to leave the office.
"Oh and Victor" the lawyer jiggled the keys to Park's armory around, handing them to the once godly Victor. Slipping them into his pocket, Victor nodded to his lawyer and proceeded to walk out, heading to his therapeutic session.

"That was good Victor" he was at a peaceful place, he was at a Park, Redemption Park. The park was silent except for flowers in the air, flying around as the scent of nature spread in the air. "Now take a deep breath" the voice instructed, Victor did so, hmmm taking a very deep breath.
"Now exhale, but keep the image in your mind Victor" the voice instructed him again as he exhaled his deep breath. Hoof. "That's very good" the lights came back on as Victor opened his eyes, his mediation session had just ended. "Victor, do you realize why I asked you to do that? When do you use meditation?" the therapist asked Victor as he leaned back up.
"To calm down, to not lose control" Victor replied controlling his emotions using methods he'd been taught. There was a brief moment of the therapist analyzing Victor before he spoke once more.
"When you closed your eyes, where were you Victor?" the therapist held his pin at the tip of his mouth, deep in thought. "Where did you imagine yourself to be?"
"Redemption Park, me and- well I used to go there to clear my head, there was a hot dog cart near there as well. Two of my friends used to go there, I would see them a lot. Arturia and Park" Victor's lip twitched slightly.
"We'll pick this up next week Victor, same time. I want you to practice meditation as well, it's a very crucial art. You need to always know how to control your emotions"

After sending his message to Alceus, he'd received a visit just after his therapy session. His brother had been concerned about his 'mortality', how long it would take him to adapt to the change. But instead he'd pushed him away, he'd been emotionally distant for a while, pushing friends away from him, but he always regrets it after.
"I don't need you to be worried about me, ok? I'm fine, I don't need anyone's condolences," the last words he'd told Alceus during his visit. Just after Alceus had left, he'd come to regret it. He wanted to convince himself he was fine, he wanted to be stronger than this, he didn't want to feel weak.
"Appreciate the visit though"

The keys to Victor's armory still lay on his table. Grabbing the keys to the chains, he made his way to Park's armory, which had belonged to his father to Victor's understanding.
It was night and he had made his way in his new armor which he'd crafted, all the tools he'd crafted cost half of the money he'd inherited from Park. It was light enough to allow complete agility, but he could add attachments to make it resistant to bullets by sacrificing agility and movement. He was previously a weapons crafter the first time he'd come to earth, and had crafted many high caliber guns and grenades.
Blending into the night, his durable facemask wasn't made to shine in the night, allowing him to be a blur to anyone from afar and blend into the darkness. The armory stood high, obviously of old stature and very well locked. Raising the key to the chain, he rotated it as the sound came Kshh. The chain opened up as he rolled the door aside with his great strength.
Inside lay many sections, weapons of all calibers, grenades of all effects, researches for all techniques and applications. This would help him much, this would make him more than just a man. Grabbing research papers on pressure points, Victor began to read, taking his time and absorbing information like a sponge.

His willpower to become greater was unbridled, his willpower was now stronger than ever in his convict to become stronger. He would need to be able to defend himself before his enemies come for him.
I have the armor, I have the weapons, I have the skill, now there is only one thing left, and I need to know the field I fight in. Victor intended to become one of the best there were. He would need information on the battlefields, and the enemies.
Travelling around the city, he planted concealable cameras. He wasn't comfortable with the technology, but his determinations lead him to study on the usage of computers. Soon he would have surveillance on all the key areas in the city. Mapping it all on a big computer, he would be able to see what's happening in the Park, the Nightclub and many other locations where gossip will just come out of the unsuspecting. The city would have to be his playground.
