iPhoto: Editing an image, then saving as a copy?
In iPhoto, I had set the double-click editing preference to have an image open in Photoshop Elements 3, but when I saved the edited image as a different name it didn't appear in iPhoto - just the original did. Then I tried editing just within iPhoto but no option appeared to let me create a new filename for the edited image, so I was left with just it and not the original.
Can I edit an image via iPhoto (in iPhoto itself or in PE3), but then save the edited image as a copy so as to leave the original untouched?
If you edit a photo it is saved with the edits but there is an option at anytime to revert to the original. It's better just to create a duplicate, then edit that if you plan to export it.
As for PE3, I haven't used it but the PE3 file extension added might be the problem with not being able to further edit in iPhoto....
You can duplicate the one you edited, and then revert one of them back to the original so you have both...

text: Ridley Scott announces Blade Runner sequel Culture 21 May 12 by Angela Watercutter Warner Bros. A month shy of Blade Runner's 30th anniversary, word has come down that Ridley Scott will direct a sequel to the groundbreaking sci-fi film, with original screenwriter Hampton Fancher in talks to develop the screenplay.News that Scott would helm a new Blade Runner movie came out a while back, but up until now it was unclear if the film would be a prequel, sequel or something else entirely. Beyond the clarity that the movie will indeed be a sequel, few details about its actual premise have been released."The filmmakers would reveal only that the new story will take place some years after the first film concluded," production company Alcon Entertainment said in a statement announcing the sequel to the 1982 adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.However, as The Mary Sue points out, Scott noted recently that he's looking to have a female lead in the film. Since Scott has already said Harrison Ford likely won't be returning to reprise his role as "blade runner" Rick Deckard, having an amazing female lead holds the potential for true awesomeness."I started my first meetings on the Blade Runner sequel last week," Scott told the Daily Beast in an interview posted Thursday. "We have a very good take on it. And we'll definitely be featuring a female protagonist."The legendary director, whose highly anticipated Alien spinoff Prometheus opens June 2012, doesn't elaborate on what kind of female protagonist his new Blade Runner film will feature -- or whether she'll be a replicant. But from Thelma & Louise to G.I. Jane, the director has earned a reputation for employing kick-ass female leads.Sigourney Weaver's Lt. Ripley from Alien is generally considered the action heroine by which all others are measured, and Prometheus boasts two female leads: Charlize Theron (who won an Oscar for Monster) and Noomi Rapace (the original Girl With the Dragon Tattoo)."[I] was pretty taken with this little punk in the lead who seemed to own the street," Scott told the Daily Beast of Rapace's performance in the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. "As a protagonist, she's a very physical woman who's almost as agile as an acrobat and keeps herself enormously fit. She's also got a real brain in her head. No one's going to be disappointed [by her performance in Prometheus]…. She sure does kick some ass in this movie -- again and again."It'll be a while before the new Blade Runner movie gets under way (Scott is currently in preproduction for his next film, The Counselor). But in the meantime, Rooney Mara -- call your agent.Source: Wired.com Edited by Ian Steadman Comments I hope the magic is not lost in the sequel, and that the music is done as well. Suleman Ali May 21st 2012 the lead female has to be a replicant and music has to be perfect with intelligent dialogues else it will be just like another sequel to for the sake of it! Yap May 22nd 2012 In reply to Yap I completely agree with you Yap, especially about the music :D :D Danny May 22nd 2012 Charlize Theron would actually be perfect.Use Charlize Riddley!She will blow everyone socks off!

Interactive Maps: State Laws Concerning Sport-Related Concussions among Youth
Print Version: Maps with Tables
By the beginning of 2013, a total of 49 states and the District of Columbia had legislation to prevent concussions and to limit further injury to student athletes who sustain concussions, with most of these laws mandating that student athletes who experience a concussion be removed from play and obtain a health care provider's permission before returning to play.

What's so good?
By Christiana Bartolini | Jan 09, 2012 | Total plays: 51,924
I was hooked from the first song I heard. I immediately felt engulfed in a wave of smooth, silky post-R&B synth sex. These guys have a fantastic perspective for tastefully melding and crossing genres new and old. It seems as though the focus is more on the instrumentals, and the vocals help compliment that. The harmonies are great, the lyrics are simple, and the instrumentals take the stage. There's a lot of looping, sampling and atmospheric dance grooves to be had, to say the least.
Underwater Seacreatures were nice enough to give away their self-titled EP for just $1 which you can find on Bandcamp. So far, this duo is unsigned and there's no tour in sight, but that could very well change so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, go on and get acquainted with this shimmery disco noir infectiousness.

Paul Smith's '98 Corvette
Paul Smith and his son Paul Jr. are a two-man crew with their C5 Vette. The elder Smith was quick to point out that Junior has been the jockey for the past five years and in that time has grown to be not only deadly on the tree, but very focused whenever he's behind the wheel. The Smiths entered the C/LSX class for the event, which is a 10.00 class but is an NMCA regular in Open Comp. By the way, if the car looks familiar to you, it may be because they won Pinks All Out at Atlanta Raceway out of 450 entries!

Steve Fereday's '01 Camaro
If ever there was a fairy tale story for the shootout, it had to be Steve Fereday and his crew. Based out of Houston, Fereday can be seen running a number of eighth-mile races but had never run on a set of drag radials before. On the way to Memphis, he stopped off for a quick test session in New Jersey, which resulted in 7.70 run after lifting the pedal. On the next pass, he chattered the tires hard, breaking the driveshaft and ripping apart the transmission tailshaft. Oops. Not one to be defeated, he had another driveshaft red labeled overnight, swapped in his spare tranny, and journeyed on to his final stop. During qualifying, Fereday managed to qualify No. 1 and even took home the win with several consistent mid-7-second passes throughout the weekend. Who does he credit for the win? His entire crew, the FAST EFI system, and an AMS 1000 boost controller. When asked what he thought about the event, he simply said, "Man, it was awesome!" That says it all.

Pontiac Education Association, school district reach tentative contract agreement
PONTIAC, Mich., May 14, 2012 - After 18 months of extremely contentious negotiations, bargaining teams for the Pontiac Education Association (PEA) and the Pontiac School District reached a tentative agreement on a new contract late Friday evening. The agreement, covering the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years represents a significant step forward for the future of the Pontiac School District.
"This was a long and difficult struggle," said PEA President, Aimee McKeever. "Although we were not responsible for the financial disaster the district found itself in, Pontiac teachers recognized the serious consequences facing the students, parents and employees of the district and stepped up to meet the challenge."
The district has experienced severe financial difficulties for the last several years.
"Pontiac teachers made significant sacrifices in wages and benefits to help reduce the district's deficit and preserve educational programs for the students," McKeever stated.
The State of Michigan has been withholding the school district's April state aid payment ($1.25 million) until it could display significant cost saving measures. In addition, the threat of a potential state takeover of the Pontiac schools has been hanging over the staff and community.
"It is my sincere hope that the state will now release the April payment to the district, recognize the progress this settlement represents and remove the threat of a state takeover," McKeever said.
The general membership of the PEA and the Pontiac Board of Education will be asked to ratify the tentative agreement in the coming days.

Decrease Increase Text size
About 9,300 Dominion Power customers are without power in Arlington because of a squirrel.
Dominion Spokesperson Jim Norvelle says a squirrel got into an area of the substation "where it wasn't supposed to be," causing a number of different circuits to go out.
Norvelle says those circuits are being restored one by one and they expect all customers to be back in service by 7 p.m.

Here's an example for you. I use Microsoft Sharepoint in our organization as a document repository for Microsoft Office documents. My laptop has Office 2003. My desktop has Office 97 (I know it's old, but it's software I own and it works). Sharepoint won't let me open Word docs created in Office 97, I would have to load/purchase Office 2003 to view that document inline from my desktop. Now, this is more focused on actual apps that M$ sells and not as nearly focused on development areas which is where I was more directing my complaints (i.e. VB6 to VB.NET).

If they don't come out with new versions and force you to upgrade they don't make money.
OK I'm staying away from the backwards compatibility issue, not because I think it's true, but because I don't have time for a religious war, but I can't let the above comment go. In exactly what way are you FORCED to upgrade? I'm not aware of anything in Windows or Office that comes along and says, "We're sorry, it's January 2007, you must upgrade to Vista. Shutting down now..." You upgrade because you want to, not because you _have_ to.

2011 Ford F 350 Crew Cab gas engine
I am very sorry I purchased this truck. Ford forget to get user input before putting it on the market. I pull a 4-6 horse trailer and it has trouble pulling, gas milage is 6-10 mpg. In the city and around the house it gets less than 6MPG, on the highway the best I have done pulling an aluminum trailer (no camper, 4000 lbs empty) is 12 MPG. The ride is awesome. The step in the back is nice but not accessible when hitched to a gooseneck. The running boards stop at the back door so there is no way to get up into the cab unless you climb up the tire! The rear backing camera is nice but does not worked when the tail gait is down. There is no rear backing camera option for lining up the bed to the trailer. You can not see over the rear seats. The motor has difficulty pulling a load and down shifts occasionally. We had it reprogrammed ************ down shifts. On the test driver it appeared to get abou 15 MPG but I have never seen that again unless I am going downhill. This was an expensive truck with leather, all options etc. The ride is awesome but I would not purchase this truck to pull anything and can not wait to get rid of it! The Dealer has tried but can not do anything to help. The door molding also come loose as it does on my other Ford. They just pop off.

Just Bought It!
I just purchased a 2011 Ford F-350 Lariat Super Duty. It's the new 6.7L PowerStroke Diesel V-8. I'm very impressed with the performance it puts out while pulling my 5th wheel camper. One thing I disapprove of is the diesel exhaust fluid. You must change this on top of every oil change. It causes only 10% emmissions. The cab and chassis trucks hold 6 gallons of it and regular trucks hold 5 gallons. It costs about $10 per gallon so it's $50 more on top of an oil change. It's government doing this to reduce emissions. Dodge and Chevy's 2011 model diesels will have this too so it's all going to this. Semi-trucks will be doing this too. I'm impressed with fuel economy too. Without my camper, I get about 17mpg city and 22mpg highway! While pulling my camper, I don't drive in the city but I get 18mpg highway! Very impressed! This should be your next diesel!

Dear Heritage Foods USA Supporter,
This week we are debuting the long awaited 1/8th cattle share from the Good Farm in Olsburg, KS. Why are we so excited about this? Well, there is a good, a very Good answer to that. In 1961, Craig Good's father Donald began raising Black Angus cattle, and eventually became a nationally recognized authority on the breed. The success of any herd depends on the knowledge of the farmer who selects and mates for what he deems the breed's most desirable qualities. Craig Good has continued to improve on the genetics his father refined. The conformation, size, and fat to muscle ratio of the Good Farm Black Angus is pretty close to perfection.
Craig and Amy Good
of Good Farm, KS
If you want to know the taste of true Angus—some would argue the tastiest breed in the world—this is it!
Purebred Black Angus Eighth
55-60 lbs in individually wrapped cuts - $450
Beef is dry aged 2-3 weeks
Fits in any freezer $7.8/lb with shipping $9.56/lb
Why You Should Buy An 1/8?
Buying the 1/8 cattle share is both a great investment, and an opportunity to eat restaurant quality meals. You are buying the same beef that is being served this week in some of America's most successful restaurants, places like: Colicchio & Sons, Corsino, Fette Sau, and Palo Santo, in New York; A16, Fatted Calf and Mozza in California; Hominy Grill in Charleston, South Carolina. So cash in on the Goods, we mean, the goods, and order your share. With such an early spring, the grill is beckoning.

With an IPL-type league for hockey in India starting in December, the local players as well as lovers of the national game are an enthused lot. While local players will get a chance to play in the big league, city players feel it would also encourage youngsters to take up the game.
The World Hockey Series is going to begin from December 15 in India and the hockey players and coaches from Chandigarh are looking forward to participate in this much-talked about event. A total of 8 teams will fight it out for the championship at different venues across India, including Chandigarh.
The local players are enthused about the event and feel that the league will be a motivating factor for the new players to take up the game. The players and coaches also feel that such leagues will help the youngsters to showcase their talent.
Hockey lovers feel that Premier Hockey League was a positive step for budding hockey players and the players were disheartened after Premier Hockey League was called off after two seasons. But the players are now happy to get a chance in another big league as the World Hockey Series gets a nod from the officials.
The World Hockey Series, a joint venture of the Indian Hockey Federation and Nimbus Sport, will feature 176 players, including 40 foreigners from top hockey-playing nations. The local players are happy to have got a platform where they can showcase their talent and get a chance to play with international players.

The government has to be held accountable, but people also need to be accountable to themselves and actively participate in their own progress, Cyril Ramaphosa, the deputy chairperson of South Africa's National Planning Commission, said on Wednesday.
"If we want to get ahead, we ourselves have to take steps to make it happen," Ramaphosa told community members in Swartklip Community Hall in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town.
He echoed John F Kennedy's famous 1961 inauguration speech when referring to the National Development Plan (NDP) and how South Africans should view the plan. "Ask not what this plan can do for you, but what you as a citizen of this country can do to ensure this plan is implemented," he said.
During Wednesday's interaction, community members and representatives told National Planning Commission Minister Trevor Manuel and the commissioners how drugs, crime and unemployment were affecting Mitchells Plain.
They called for improved technical training to address unemployment in the area.
Ramaphosa agreed that technical colleges were urgently needed in Mitchells Plain, so that community members could acquire the necessary skills.
Corruption 'a tax on poor people'
He urged residents not to take the law into their own hands, no matter how frustrated they felt, but rather to persist by working with those who were responsible for law and justice.
Turning to corruption, Ramaphosa said that graft robbed citizens of the chance of benefiting from development and that it should be rooted out. He urged people to fight corruption and be the whistleblowers, raising their voice against those who are corrupt. "You must talk, you must tell," he said.
Manuel said South Africans owed it to their children to leave behind a better and safer country.
He also urged ordinary people to report incidents of corruption. "Corruption is always a tax against poor people - it takes away their services, it takes away their entitlements and we must act against it," Manuel said.
People 'must be their own liberators'
Earlier, Ramaphosa and Manuel visited community gardening projects in Khayelitsha, where they encouraged communities to grown their own food.
Manuel said food security formed an important part of the NDP, adding that part of what government needed to do was to encourage cooperatives, which would produce food for both households and the commercial markets.
It emerged during the visit that only one in 10 households in Khayelitsha was guaranteed food security, with the majority of people in the area struggling to find employment.
Manuel emphasised that key to the development plan was ensuring that government encouraged rapidly growing local economies.
"Of course we can't do things on behalf of the people, but we can't expect people to do things without support. The plan is largely premised on getting active citizenry."
The document needed to give South Africans a chance to reverse the imbalances of the past, he said.
Ramaphosa said the commission planned a series of outreach campaigns to ensure that South Africans were part of proposals contained in the NDP.
"What we say in the plan is that people must be their own liberators," he added.

Partners Cliff Burnstein and Peter Mensch, who also operate Q Prime in New York, told R&R that they want the FCC to live up to the original rules and have at least two different license holders. And they want to be one of them.
The company was one of the original SDARS bidders alongside Digital Satellite Broadcasting Service, CD Radio and American Mobile Satellite Radio Service. Each paid the government $70,000 for two "satellite slots," recalls Burnstein. But while CD Radio and American Satellite, which became Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., ultimately won the spectrum, Primosphere never had its original $140,000 deposit returned, according to Burnstein.
On the current proceedings, Burnstein told R&R he could not get a read on the FCC merger decision based on its recent meetings, but it was clear to him that FCC officials are "uncomfortable with a single provider."
What about the minority owned Georgetown Partners? They have had a similar request and numerous meetings with the Commission, but Burnstein says: "they don't have any standing in this."
"We have a legal standing even if it is by a thread," he said, adding that Primosphere doesn't need funding and could be up and running with newly built studio space within six months. However, Primosphere would need the merged entity lease some technology for uplink and downlink capability for its programming to satellite receivers.
Primosphere's programming would be advertising-based and would offer about 30 channels of mostly music programming, forecasts Burnstein. He says Primosphere's "will come at this from a music and programming perspective."
Burnstein's goal - while admittedly "a little bit idealistic" - is "to serve the underserved."

In a case of apparent first impression regarding the impact of the shareholder voting provisions of Internal Revenue Code I.R.C. § 162(m)on state corporate law, Judge Sue L. Robinson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware recently held that the federal statute did not preempt Delaware law. Freedman v. Redstone, et al., Civ. No. 12-1052-SLR, 2013 WL 3753426, (D. Del. July 16, 2013). Specifically, Judge Robinson tax-deductible only if it is awarded pursuant to a plan approved by shareholders did not preempt Delaware state law that permits a corporation, in its charter, to designate certain classes of shares as non-voting. This ruling has potential ramifications in other cases in which federal law intersects with state law on matters of corporate governance. Judge Robinson also directors violated their fiduciary duties by awarding compensation not in compliance with the terms of the prior plan and I.R.C. § 162(m).
The Direct Claim The Court Rejects Plaintiffs Contention That I.R.C. § 162(m) Overrides Delaware Corporate Law on Shareholder Voting
In August 2012, plaintiff Robert Freedman, a holder of Class B shares of Viacom Inc., brought suit against Viacom and its directors seeking a re-vote on Viacoms Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective January 18, 2012 (the 2012 Senior Executive STIP), that was approved by a vote of Viacoms Class A shares at the companys Annual Meeting of Stockholders in March 2012. Under Viacoms charter, Class A shares are voting shares and Class B shares are non-voting shares. The 2012 Senior Executive STIP was designed to comply with I.R.C. § 162(m), which requires that certain conditions be met in order for performance-based compensation of a companys CEO and four highest-paid employees to be tax-deductible. One of those conditions is that the compensation be awarded pursuant to a plan whose material terms are disclosed to and approved by a majority of the vote in a separate shareholder vote. 26 USC § 162(m)(4)(c)(ii).

"I haven't been able to get out of situations very well," Pestano said, per the Orange County Register. "I pride myself on inherited runners and not cashing them in. It's been awful. It's disappointing and embarrassing."
The Angels called up infielder/outfielder Efren Navarro to take Pestano's place on the 25-man roster.
After Jered Weaver went six innings and gave up one run, Salas put runners on first and third to start the seventh. Ramos came in and immediately gave up an RBI single to Stephen Vogt.
Pestano then took over and immediately threw a wild pitch that scored a runner. He then gave up a homer to Billy Butler and later gave up an RBI single to Brett Lawrie.
Salas was credited with the loss. He's now 0-1 this season.
Morin then allowed three runs in the eighth inning.
The Angels acquired Pestano in an August trade for prospect Michael Clevinger. In 2014, Pestano made 25 appearnces and produced a 2.89 ERA over 18 2/3 innings with 26 strikeouts.
The team called up pitchers Cam Bedrosian, Wade LeBlanc, Vinnie Pestano and Cory Ramus today. Outfielders Brennan Boesch and Tony Campana were also promoted to the major-league club.
The team also added John Buck, C.J. Cron, Shawn O'Malley, Luis Jimenez and Efren Navarro .
Pestano appeared in just one game in his most recent stint with the team, tossing one scoreless inning with one walk and three strikeouts. He has a 4.50 ERA in 10 innings for the season overall.
Pestano appeared in 10 games in his most recent stint with the Indians' bullpen, allowing just one run and five hits in 6 1/3 innings of work.
Pestano has held opponents scoreless in his last 10 appearances. He has given up just four hits and one walk while fanning nine during that stretch.
Pestano, who was demoted after compiling a 13.50 ERA with the Indians in early April, has not allowed a run in his last 10 appearances. He has nine strikeouts and one walk while giving up just four hits. And Terry Francona has noticed.
"Sounds like he's doing pretty well," Francona told MLB.com. "That's good to hear, we're pretty excited about that. Less ups and downs. He's been more consistent, and I think he's feeling pretty good about himself."
Pestano was optioned by the club after posting a 13.50 ERA in three games this year. The team called up pitcher Chen-Chang Lee in order to take Pestano's roster spot.
Pestano was among the premier setup men in the sport heading into last year, but he hurt his arm pitching in the World Baseball Classic and suffered through a terrible season that included a trip to Triple-A. But he has been brilliant through spring training.
His role has yet to be fully explained. Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen are expected to serve as the short men behind closer John Axford.
Pestano could eventually regain his previous role if he settles into the form that made him a premier setup man, but the Indians appear set with Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw in the late innings leading up to closer John Axford.
"I threw batting practice today and felt good," said Pestano. "I'm excited about Monday."
Pestano is looking to rebound from a mediocre 2013 season in which he went 1-2 with a 4.08 ERA and 37:21 K:BB ratio in 35 1/3 innings.
Pestano struggled so badly in 2013 that he was demoted to the minors after serving as a lights-out setup man in 2011 and 2012. He is seeking to earn a spot in the bullpen this spring, though a return to form could have him working late in games.
Pestano was among the premier setup men in baseball in 2011 and 2012 before struggles in 2013 landed him in the minors.
His arbitration case was the first for the Indians since 1991.
Pestano struggled mightily in 2013 after performing in the World Baseball Classic. After pitching 132 innings in 2011 and 2012 combined as one of the premier setup men in the game, his ERA rose to 4.08 in 2013 and he was sent to the minors in July.
He is asking for $1.45 million while the Indians are offering $975,000.
The Indians last went to arbitration in 1991 over infielder Jerry Browne and pitcher Greg Swindell.
Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway revealed over the weekend Pestano suffered an elbow injury last spring while pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, according to The Plain Dealer.
"I think some of that WBC injury really trained his arm to do something different than he's done in the past," Callaway said. "The reason Vinnie was so good in the past, is that he has unorthodox mechanics. When he had a little bit of an injury in the WBC, he started throwing like a normal person, which isn't good. I told him at the end of the year, I've never told anybody to have bad mechanics.
"We got to make sure he's following through the right way so he's getting that cut back on his fastball and that life through the zone. I'm fairly positive he'll get that back."
According to MLB.com, the team avoided arbitration with two other players, signing relievers Frank Hermann and Blake Wood to one-year contracts, each worth $560,000 for '14.
Pestano has yet to pitch in the majors since being called up from Triple-A in September. After struggling with a 4.05 ERA in 33 1/3 innings, the team sent him down to work on his control. Pestano's main goal in the minors was finding a consistent release point.
In 14 2/3 innings, Pestano has a 3.07 ERA in the minors.
Pestano did walk a batter during the outing. Walks have been his main issue this season. After walking just 24 batters in each of the last two seasons, Pestano already has allowed 19 walks in half as many innings.
Through 33 1/3 innings in the majors, Pestano had a 4.05 ERA.
The 28-year-old Pestano had a 4.05 ERA over 34 appearances for the Tribe. He also had six saves on the season.
Pestano gave up a game-tying home run to Detroit's Torii Hunter in the eighth inning of Sunday's victory.
"We talked to Vinnie today," said Francona on Monday. "Since he came back from his down time with his arm, we've seen glimpses of the old Vinnie, but there have been some inconsistencies. I told him that in the immediate future, instead of just giving him the eighth inning every time, we'll try to pitch him in games that set up a little better for him. We want to get that confidence rolling. Once he gets back on a roll, we'll get him back in a designated role."
Pestano took the ball in the bottom of the ninth after the Indians took a 4-3 lead in the top of the inning. Pestano went 1-2-3 for Cleveland with two strikeouts for the win and his fifth save. His ERA is 4.13.
Pestano will likely go back to late-game relief in front of Perez now that the closer is returning.
Pestano has converted his last four save chances and has a 2.70 ERA in 10 June appearances.
Pestano earned his fourth save with a scoreless ninth to secure the 5-2 win. He did make things a bit interesting as he walked a batter and allowed a single. Manny Machado lined out to end the game, however. Pestano struck out one and his ERA is at 4.30.
The acting closer will go back to being a late-inning reliever when Perez returns. He's earned saves in back-to-back appearances, though he allowed two runs in his last save against Minnesota Saturday.
Pestano had surrendered one earned run in eight innings in June before Saturday's two-run inning. He's allowed 11 earned runs in 22 innings.
Pestano recorded his second save though he gave up three hits and a walk in the ninth to protect a one-run lead. He got a strikeout and baserunning error by the Royals. Pestano needed 22 pitches and his ERA is at 4.05.
With Chris Perez on the mend, Pestano's time as closer may be nearing an end.
Three weeks later, Perez is on the verge of returning, and Pestano still has just one save to his name. We'll never know what might have been if Pestano had pulled an Andrew Bailey, piling up half a dozen saves as a stand-in. The Indians didn't win enough to see what he could do in the role, so you have to assume they'll revert to what made him comfortable in the first place.
Come Friday, Perez will be back to closing for the Indians, and Pestano will be no more than waiver fodder in Fantasy.
Pestano walked a batter, but needed 11 pitches to get three outs for his first save of the season with Chris Perez still on the shelf. His ERA is at 4.26.
Pestano was tabbed as the interim closer, but has gone just 1 for 3 in save opportunities.
So why am I not rushing to pick him up? He's not altogether himself. Having just returned from a DL stint for a sore right elbow, his fastball is reaching only the high 80s, about 4-5 mph lower than usual. And considering he allowed four earned runs over an inning of work last time out, he's missing that velocity.
Of course, two of his first three appearances off the DL were scoreless, so perhaps other factors contributed to his struggles Saturday. But a pitcher still working up to midseason form might not find himself fast enough to take advantage of what could end up being a minimal DL stay.
The only way I pick up Pestano is if he's the only option for saves on the wire.
The 28-year-old Pestano just blew his second save after he allowed four runs on four hits and two walks over an inning in Boston Saturday. He's gone 1-1 with four holds, two blown saves and a 5.25 ERA.
He's posted a 11.25 ERA in four appearances following a stint on the disabled list because of a sore right elbow.
"I told Vinnie when he came off the disabled list, 'There might be a little rust,'" manager Terry Francona, per The Plain Dealer. "But like a hitter with a track record, this is a pitcher with a pretty impressive track record with the way he competes, the way he cares. I wouldn't want to run away from him. I just want to help him."
Pestano's struggles could be related to a drop in velocity. He was throwing 92-93 mph before going on the disabled list. He was clocked throwing 88-89 mph Saturday.
"In spring training, when guys start throwing, they have to build arm speed," Francona said. "That's what he's doing now. ... There are no medical issues. We got him through that. Now we just have to get him back to being Vinnie."
Pestano was effective in a rehab assignment and appears to have put his elbow injury behind him. Expect him to return to a setup role in front of closer Chris Perez.
Pestano is on assignment at low Class A Lake County. He is expected to be ready to return from an elbow injury later this week.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Pestano is about a week away from returning, according to manager Terry Francona.
Pestano was placed on the disabled list Monday with elbow soreness. He has not appeared in a game since April 28. He has a 2.25 ERA in eight innings this year.
Pestano, 28, hasn't pitched since April 28. He has a 2.25 ERA over eight appearances with eight Ks in eight innings.
Pestano has been dealing with right elbow soreness and hasn't pitched since April 28. He felt good throwing from 120 feet Sunday and likely swayed the Indians from placing him on the DL as a result.
The club has yet to decide whether or not Pestano's sore elbow will land him on the disabled list. Pestano sounded optimistic but said "the decisions and everything else are out of my control."
Pestano has allowed two runs on five hits over eight innings.
Pestano, who was not available Friday, could be rested through the weekend. He threw a bullpen session Saturday and did not have any negative issues.
The 28-year-old has appeared in eight games this season with a 2.25 ERA and eight Ks over eight innings.

Why people aren't buying iPads anymore
July 30, 2014 | 2:25 pm
By Joanna Cabot
Huffington Post has this little write-up on the iPad situation. In short: sales of iPads are flat, why can this be?
They list the usual reasons—other brands are cheaper, Apple won't budge on price and so on—but also offer a new one that's true for me: people simply don't upgrade their tablets as often.
Perhaps it's because they prioritize upgrading their phones, which they carry with them daily, so there is no money left for a frill like a tablet. Perhaps it's because there has not been as much innovation in the tablet sector recently—my iPad 2 is still going strong after two years, and Apple has only just stopped selling this model. There is time yet to run my iPad into the ground!
But the HuffPo people raise an interesting point. When I do run it into the ground, what will I replace it with? If I wind up with a new ultra-light MacBook Air, which is for the most part equivalent in form factor to my aging iPad plus Keyboard combo, will I want or need another full-size tablet? Perhaps I won't. I got my iPad when my laptop was still too clunky to really carry around. If that's not going to be true anymore, then maybe the mini form factor will suffice for my tablet needs. And if I could get an off-brand for a quarter of the price, will the Apple price premium still be worth it to me? Time will tell…

I agree with the idea that we don't need to upgrade iPads or other brand tablets that often. My iPad 3 is fast enough to run current apps and has the same memory capacity as the newest iPad. Its wi-fi is faster than my DSL connection. Sure, I'd save some weight but the older iPad is already light enough.
I'm wondering the same slowdown will come with new phone purchases. For the first few years, iPhones improved dramatically in performance. Now they are plenty fast enough for everybody but hardcore gamers. I'm planning on keeping my Nexus phone for a few more years as it too should remain adequate for some time.
My first gen iPad is still all I need. The only thing it's missing is a camera and that's why I bought a cheap point&shoot.
Michael McKee and HuffPo are right and that's hardly unique.
* My iPad 3 is still doing all I need it to do and then some. I can't think of any reason to get a newer model.
* My seven-year-old MacBook still works fine for its one use, writing in Scrivener away from my home office.
Only my iPhone 3GS is showing signs of age. About once a week it shuts down for no apparently reason, even though the battery is well-charged. I put it on a charger and a half-hour so later it feels better again and returns to life. That's weird but not enough reason to upgrade until the iPhone 6 comes out and I can get a Verizon iPhone 5 at a reasonable price. And given how lousy the AT&T coverage is inside my house, that is one upgrade I must make.
Change brands? Apple knew what it was doing when it created app stores for iOS and OS X. Upgrading any of their products to those of a different company would mean finding replacements for dozens of apps I use at least occasionally.
The long-awaited Scrivener for iOS is what I need now. Then my iPad plus keyboard become a MacBook Air equivalent without making a big hole in my bank account.
I think you are spot on, Joanna. Tablets were the new eReaders which were just the new netbooks. They will continue to be popular, but at some point you can't continue to grow at ridiculous rates: the technology matures and most people that want your product have it.
Yes, I don't upgrade my device to a newer version unless it is broken. It is a waste of money and resources to buy new ones when your old ones are working properly. I have an iPad 2 and it satisfies my needs perfectly. I won't buy any new iPad until it cannot be used any more.
I see several reasons for iPads not being sold anymore [in such staggering numbers as when they were introduced for the first time]
A. [Almost] everyone who wants one already has one
B. People who are not keen enough on having one to buy one have Hand-me-down units
C. iPad is very expensive and very well made, so owners are not that keen to get an upgrade, and when do upgrade they hand down still functioning one to broup described in B.
D. There is bigger competition pressure [comparing to the era when iPad was the only game in town], with [[significantly]cheaper] Android tablets that are "good enough", large screen phones, chromebooks.
After the initial novelty of having a tablet wore off, I found I didn't use the device that much; my iPod Touch serves me fine for a portable reading and music device (the main thing I use it for), and my laptop works for everything else. While it's an Android tablet rather than an iPad, I suspect the same would've been true with an iPad — fun toy, but not a device that I use enough to replace when it dies, let alone one that I need to upgrade because a spiffier version's out.
For that matter, my 4th generation iPod Touch won't run iOS 7, which means I can't upgrade more and more apps, but that's not driving me to replace it; everything I actually *need* on it works. Why waste my money and contribute to pollution from used electronics when I can keep using it until it dies (and, depending on what goes wrong, possibly be able to have it repaired and keep it running for another few years)?
When my iPad dies I will have to get a new one as it has replaced the time my wife and I once spent watching TV and using the desktop and laptop. My wife agees (and she is a librarian Luddite) the iPad is indispensable. There is no turning back, no switching brands. We are owned.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Trey Gowdys got a late-night habit.
He eats a ridiculously lot of pizza, said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Republican from Utah. Even if he goes out and has dinner, hes got to have his late-night pie. I dont know how he does it.
Its a tasty vice for the South Carolina congressman, even as he displays a distaste for national politics while his profile rises inside Republican ranks.
Since his election to Congress in 2010, Gowdy has been known inside the Washington Beltway less for his politics than for his hair, a sometimes silvery tangle that Buzzfeed once dubbed the most confusing hair in Congress.
But the Greenville, S.C., native has found a springboard to possible Washington stardom _ whether wanted or not _ with his appointment last spring as chairman of a special House of Representatives select panel investigating the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans were killed when militants raided the compound.
Despite fierce partisan tension over an issue that has been a go-to political pinata for Republicans to bash the Obama administration, Gowdy appears to have placated the Republicans and mollified some Democrats. He has employed a quiet, nonpartisan approach that likely hails from his days as a federal prosecutor.
I havent been there that long, but none of us has seen somebody rise so fast, Chaffetz said. Its a unique combination of his ability to cogently articulate a pattern of questions or to make a case on the floor of the House.
Gowdy, who turns 50 this week, decided in 2010 to challenge six-term GOP incumbent congressman Bob Inglis. He won an upset victory in the primary and then went on to win the general election for the Palmetto States 4th Congressional District seat.
His reputation on Capitol Hill grew after the attack on the Benghazi consulate. As a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, he took a tough, confrontational approach to witnesses during the panels initial investigation of the incident, much like the style he favored in South Carolina courtrooms.
He was a commanding presence . . . when he went in the courtroom, he was prepared, he knew exactly what he was going to do. He took control, said Barry Barnette, who took over the post of South Carolinas 7th Circuit solicitor after serving as Gowdys deputy. Theres nobody tougher than him.
Its standard practice on Capitol Hill to savor the flurry of attention that surrounds partisan issues, particularly one like Benghazi, which has triggered multiple investigations and hearings. The results, however, have been mixed at best for Republicans hoping to find some political advantage to use against the Democrats in the way the administration responded to the attack.
Indeed, the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee approved a report earlier this month that could not pinpoint any intelligence failures on the part of the administration, a contention that Republican critics have been trying to press since the attack occurred.
Still, Gowdys new panel, created by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, will begin more public hearings on Benghazi next month when Congress returns from its lengthy summer recess. Asked to talk about the committee, though, Gowdy declined.
I didnt talk about my investigations when I was a DA, he said curtly. Therell be a time and a place.
Trey is making a good effort to work in a collegial way and in a consultative way and I think hell continue to do that, said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who reluctantly accepted a position as a minority member of the committee.
His praise for Gowdy is notable, given that the longtime House Intelligence Committee member was one of the more outspoken Democrats who ridiculed the creation of the panel in the first place.
Even Republican friends, like South Carolinas junior senator, Tim Scott, say politics does not come naturally to Gowdy.
Trey is Trey, Scott said. He ultimately has a desire for getting things accomplished, and that means that his first objective isnt to be the best example of the Republican Party. . . . He just doesnt have a desire for politics.
Indeed, Rep. Mick Mulvaney, a Republican colleague from South Carolina, calls his friend a lousy politician.
Hes terrible, Mulvaney said. I have to beg him to go to things that ordinary politicians would go to in a second. Hes not very good at the politics of it. Which is kind of what makes him good.
For his part, Gowdy insists his investigation of Benghazi will be straightforward, and that whatever partisanship surrounds the controversy, its bigger to me than politics.
People would rather see a sermon than hear one, he said. I can talk about the need to be fair. I can talk about the need to be inclusive . . . or I can prove it to you. I would rather prove it to you.
While determined to avoid the national stage, his aggressive tactics, smooth demeanor and boyish camaraderie with House colleagues have polished his profile.
You combine that with his Southern drawl and bad hair and its a winning combination, Chaffetz joked.
Friends, however, say that Gowdy makes it no secret that he misses home and if given the choice, hed take a courtroom over Congress any day.
I miss the rules, the fairness, Gowdy said. The fact that theres a referee. And there is no referee in politics.
But he has chosen to stick around and seek a third term this fall, despite insisting he wouldnt keep the office longer than two terms. The reason is Scott, a former member of the House who was named last year to fill the unexpired term of former Republican Sen. Jim DeMint.
The thought of being around and helping someone like Tim be successful in the United States Senate. . . . He is the reason, Gowdy said.
In the long run, though, Gowdy says his Washington days are numbered. And while its standard Beltway jabber that his next move should be to a federal judgeship, the father of two shrugs off the chances. He says it would be a tough move after a stint in partisan politics, and, he says, Ive watched too many people wait around for something that never came.
He says hes loved his chances to speak at colleges though, and hints a move to higher education might be next in the cards.
But if all else fails, Tim Scotts driver, he laughs. Thatd be great. Hes a ton of fun to be around.

Here 2014: Artist Eric Yahnker
Eric Yahnker is one of our absolute favourite artists working today. His humorous, meticulously rendered graphic puns wittily examine contemporary pop culture and politics, and his work is stunningly executed as well as being astute and thought-provoking. We've written about his exhilarating art before, and recently we reviewed his very excellent first London exhibition, Sticks & Drones at Paradise Row.
Here is a handful of Eric's charcoal renderings of readers, a trope that he's returned to a few times over the years, and which are superb examples of Eric's appealingly irreverent work. We particularly like the one of Dorothy reading Sartre, and it's easy to see why we keep returning to Eric over and over again.

A brief history of Munson Steamship Line by Martin Cox
Walter D. Munson established Munson Steamship Line in 1899 when he built a freight line Havana-New York service and then extended to include Eastern Cuba, Mexico and the gulf ports. Succeeded by his son Carlos Munson, then son Frank Munson the Line had sixty steamers and became the largest ocean freight company on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
In 1915 the first ship to include passenger accommodation for the line was the SS MUNAMAR, built (by Maryland Steel in Baltimore) for the eastern Cuba trade. After World War I, Frank Munson began a passenger and freight service from New York to east coast of South America using foreign built vessels interned in American ports. In her brochure materials the new vessel MUNAMAR is described: " Most comfortable accommodations are offered for the 50 first-class and 30 second-class passengers." and the Salon is described as, "finished in white, paneled with brown tapestry, the furniture being oak."
The MOCCASIN (ex PRINZ JOACHIM of Hamburg America Line) inaugurated the service in December 1919 but sank at her pier in Brooklyn and was sold. A second ship MARTHA WASHINGTON (formerly of Unione Austriaca, Austria) followed by HURON, AEOLUS and CALLAO (formerly GROSSER KURFURST and FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE and SIERRA CORDOBA of Norddeutscher Lloyd).
In July 1921 the first of four "535"class transports converted to passenger ships by the United States Shipping Board were assigned to Munson Line. AMERICAN LEGION, SOUTHERN CROSS, PAN AMERICAN and WESTERN WORLD. Thus the ex German liners were returned to the USSB, and in 1922 MARTHA WASHINGTON was ceded to Italy after an act on Congress recognized her as belonging to Cosulich Line reorganized under the Italian Flag.
The new 295-passenger SS MUNARGO was commissioned for Caribbean service (New York – Nassau – Eastern Cuba) in 1922. The 80-passenger MUMANAR joined the service offering a weekly sailing from New York.
In 1925 Munson Line purchased their previously chartered vessels from the USSB and the service continued with sailing to Bermuda added in 1930.
The WESTERN WORLD ran aground on San Sebastian Island off the coast of Brazil in August 1931 and remain stuck, four months later she arrived in New York for repairs.
The depression resulted in severely reduced traffic and the MUNAMAR was sold and as Munson Line ran into financial troubles its ships were either laid up or scraped. The MUNARGO was transferred to a tourist service Miami, Nassau, Havana in 1937 but sold a year later when the company went bankrupt. The remaining passenger ships were taken over by the Maritime Commission.
Munson Line's passenger ships:
Found this ad in a book I am researching, need passenger list for D Ingle Burton probably 1895-1905 Please help me The book was copyright 1901.
I am searching for the manifest for the Munargo ship that sailed from NY to Nassau in the fall of 1933. My friend worked on that ship and she was inquiring about 2 small boys traveling alone names Herbie and George. We have no last name and she was the aide that was given to them while they were on the trip. The boys were going to go live with their grandmother. Can i get any information on these boys? She would really like to know. Thanks so much.
For Alicia Perkins – Check out Ancestry.com – it will allow you to search the year and month of the Mungaro ship manifests into and out of New York. Also, the New York Public Library at Bryant park have the manifest on microfilm.
My great-grandfather (by marriage) was an executive for Munson Steamship Lines and all the records for the Mungaro are publicly available.
Best of luck in your search,
K Hayes (Kellogg)
I want to know if you have the list of passengers that arrived N.York on december 27 or 28 1933 in the ship Champlain from the Cherburgo port/France.
Do you have any information on a Captain Hilton who captained the SS American Legion to Buenos Aires in July of 1934. My father, John Barton Abbott, worked on that particular trip and I trying to determine if he was related to Captain Hilton. I believe Captain Hilton might have been married to my father's aunt, Bessie Abbott.
Any biographical information you might have on Captain Hilton or his ancestry would be greatly appreciated.
My Father, Wm Updegraff, sailed on the good steamship Pan American of the Munson Steamship Lines. I have a document that he kept all his life dated June 6, 1917 as the date the ship crossed the equator. He was 16 years old at the time and probably worked in the mess or the engine room
The certificate is attested by Neptunus Rex and signed by the Commander H.L. Look that he was.. "duly initiated into the mysteries of the Order of the Trident, instructed as to the sign of the Lobscouse and the Password of the Order of the Salt Horse, and is therefore, hereby constituted a Sea Urchin with all the privileges and emoluments, if any, appertaining thereto."
It is a colorful document of the times that I have shared with my children. Where can I find more information of the ship and the manifest of that date.

This was wonderful and unique! Per the previous reviewer, I served over "Coconut Rice" (also found on this site) and the combination of flavors was great (salt& sweet)! I've never had anything like it but I'll be making this tasty dish again! Thanks Evelyn for sharing this new way to cook chicken!
The chicken was moist, but lacked flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, but next time might add some garlic or other seasonings. It tasted like boiled chicken with onions.

This recipe is wonderful with Coconut Rice
I will make this again! I used leg quarters(4lbs) instead of a whole chicken. This was something different for us but was very flavorful. At the suggestion of another rater I made this dish with Mexican rice 2, also on this website.yum yum
We enjoyed this quite a lot.i used unsweetened orange juice,low sodium chicken broth and no salt.We also used skinless,boneless chicken thighs.Thanks
This recipe is awesome, if you add 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice. I can't imagine that it would be too good without the lemon!
I first had this in a Salvadoran restaurant near DC and loved it. They used only chicken breasts and I believe they substituted lime for lemon juice.
Delicious! We loved this one. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the onions were to die for.

By Dr Hasan Askari Rizvi
Domestic politics and foreign policy are inter-linked. Both influence each other. Foreign policy choices have an impact on or get influenced by the needs and dynamics of domestic socio-economic and political considerations. Invariably, foreign economic assistance and technical cooperation are sought with a focus on the government's development agenda which in turn constrains some domestic political and economic choices.
The global role of a country depends to a great extent in the present-day interdependent world on internal socio-political cohesion and stability and the state of economy. The key issue is how far a country can positively link up with the international economic networking? How far a country attracts international investment and trade?
Pakistan's autonomy in global and regional politics is hampered by its troubled economy, internal socio-political incoherence and the worsening law and order situation, especially terrorism.
A large number of political leaders and activists in Pakistan are not willing and/or able to comprehend the impact of the aforementioned factors on Pakistan's future as a functioning state and a player at the global level. Most of them approach global politics and Pakistan's interaction with the rest of the world from their partisan domestic considerations, viewing foreign policy issues from their domestic political standpoint. What helps them to build domestic support or fits into their domestic agendas is more important than what is prudent at the international level.
Foreign policy has become a part of a domestic power struggle between the opposition parties and the government. The Islamic political parties and organisations including the Islamic clergy and the Punjab-based militant groups and the political parties with far-right/Islamic orientations are focused on their partisan and ideological agendas derived from the domestic context. They have a naïve and slanted view of global politics and Pakistan's role in it which is derived from classical religious doctrines. Foreign policy, like domestic politics is viewed as a function of religion.
There is a strong tendency in the political circles to disregard Pakistan's international obligations but expect other countries and international organisations to pursue the policies to their satisfaction. They want the whole world to change itself to their advantage but Pakistan should stay firm and strident in its foreign policy strategies and goals. It is unfortunate to see some retired senior foreign office officials and retired senior army officers advocating such views.
An offshoot of this policy is the exaggerated view of the notion of sovereignty as Pakistan's right to defy the rest of the world. Sovereignty is an essential feature of every state. If Pakistan is sovereign, other states are also sovereign. However, the capacity of the state to operationalise sovereignty in the real world depends on a number of factors, i.e. internal socio-political stability and economic strength. It also depends on the capacity of the state to create a knowledge-based society and development of human power and natural resources. The United States and Rwanda are two sovereign states but they exercise sovereignty in very different ways.
Some people advocate isolationism as the foreign policy option for Pakistan. Others suggest a modified isolationism, implying that Pakistan should have relationships with other countries on its own terms only. These are not advisable strategies. A country like
Pakistan that faces difficult regional situation and relies heavily on external economic assistance, cannot afford to isolate itself. Isolation or insistence on relationship on one's terms weakens Pakistan's role at the international level. An isolated Pakistan will become more vulnerable to Indian pressures and the latter would find it easy to exploit Pakistan's internal contradictions to its advantage.
Pakistan can strengthen its diplomatic clout by cultivating a multifaceted and active interaction with other states and international organisations. It should become an attractive proposition for external investment and trade. It is important for Pakistan's political and societal elite to understand why the rest of the world entertains a negative disposition towards Pakistan? Other questions to ponder include how to project Pakistan's soft image and how sports, academic work, tourism, cultural exchanges strengthen diplomatic clout and promote a soft image. The stronger the Pakistani diplomacy and interaction with other countries, the greater will be its capacity to deflect international pressures. Therefore, isolation is not a viable option.
The Raymond Davis issue is a bilateral problem between Pakistan and the United States. Similar problems of immunities of the embassy officials arise between the states from time to time and the states address these issues at the official level. However, as a host of Pakistani political groups and leaders view foreign policy from their purely partisan domestic agendas, the Raymond Davis issue has become an issue of power struggle between the PPP-led federal government and the opposition parties, especially the Islamic parties and groups. A section of the media has also joined them in an attempt to expose what they describe as the slavish mentality of the Pakistani government.
The Raymond Davis issue is no longer a foreign policy question. It has become part of domestic power game. The private sector electronic media and the print media have initiated the trial and the Islamic groups and parties are passing the judgment on the issue through street protests and threatening the federal government with massive street agitation if Raymond Davis is not tried and convicted in Pakistan.
Such a domestic context makes it extremely difficult for the federal government to manage the Raymond David case as a purely foreign policy issue. Its problems have been multiplied because of the defiant posture of Shah Mahmood Qureshi on this issue after losing his position as foreign minister. Another factor is the reluctant cooperation by the Punjab Government. The Punjab Law Minister, Rana Sanaullah, has made statements on the Raymond Davis issue that lean heavily towards the Islamists perspective. The PML(N), knowing the mood in the streets of the Punjab, is not willing to help out the federal government.
The current emotionalism and anti-America hysteria manifesting mainly in the Punjab may prove to be more decisive in shaping Pakistan's disposition. The US policy of exerting pressure in public or threatening to take some punitive action adds to the problems of the Pakistan government. It limits the prospects for a quick and amicable resolution of the problem.

State Department and Other Agencies Should Further Explore Opportunities to Save Administrative Costs Overseas
January 31, 2012
Agencies continue to provide potentially duplicative administrative services overseas despite slight increases in their participation in ICASS since 2004. When agencies had a choice to opt out of ICASS and provide services independently, they did so about one-third of the time, on average, in 2011. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), however, has reduced duplicative administrative operations by increasing its participation in ICASS markedly since 2005. Agencies have cited several factors for opting out of ICASS, principally concerns about cost, but they do not usually provide any formal rationale to ICASS management and often have not conducted any cost analysis to justify their decisions. Some agencies also indicated that they cannot meet their mission requirements within ICASS. GAO's analysis of ICASS cost and workload data shows that significant economies of scale can be achieved through greater participation in ICASS. Thus, while agencies may opt out of ICASS because they believe they can obtain less costly services on their own, doing so may actually increase the overall cost to the U.S. government. ICASS management's ability to convince agencies that participating will save them or the U.S. government money is hampered by the lack of comparative cost data to demonstrate potential savings. In 2004, GAO recommended that the ICASS Executive Board—the highest level policy-making body in the ICASS system composed of customer agency representatives—encourage greater ICASS participation. However, experience has shown that board members do not necessarily have the incentive to require their agencies to participate in ICASS, especially if they are unconvinced that it is in their agencies' individual financial interest. In this context, Congressional action may be necessary to increase participation and achieve greater economies of scale. Separately, State has made limited progress improving the cost effectiveness of ICASS services in other ways, such as reducing the need for American staff overseas or using other qualified agencies, such as USAID, to provide some ICASS services.
