Press release from Business Wire
CSC Wins GSA Email as a Service Blanket Purchase Agreements
Thursday, December 20, 2012
CSC Wins GSA Email as a Service Blanket Purchase Agreements16:48 EST Thursday, December 20, 2012 FALLS CHURCH, Va. (Business Wire) -- CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today that it is one of 17 companies awarded blanket purchase agreements (BPA) to provide email as a service (EaaS) from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The estimated total value of this contract is $2.5 billion for all companies. CSC was awarded two GSA EaaS BPAs: one based on a Microsoft Exchange solution and the other employing a Google solution. These BPAs, awarded during CSC's second quarter of fiscal year 2013, have a two-year base period and three option years. The BPAs were awarded under the GSA Schedule 70 contract. Under the terms of the agreement, CSC will compete for task orders to provide offerings within government community, private, secret enclave and public clouds. These offerings include EaaS (billed per mailbox), office automation, electronic records management, migration and integration services, with security requirements at the FISMA moderate-impact level (and FISMA high-impact level for the secret enclave delivery model). CSC's EaaS offerings build on the success of the company's BizCloud for Government offering — the industry's first and only on-premises, private cloud that is billed as a service and ready for application workloads in just 10 weeks. As federal agencies strive to improve operational efficiencies, reduce costs, meet federal mandates and embrace cloud services, CSC's BizCloud for Government provides the privacy, security and control of a private cloud with the agility, convenience and elasticity of a public cloud. "CSC has successfully delivered email as a service to government organizations at the federal and state level, and that work has laid the foundation for providing GSA with a solution that will reduce cost, meet the President's cloud mandate and embrace cloud for enterprise applications," said Mike Gaffney, vice president and general manager of CSC's North American Public Sector Civil Group. "Government employees, much like those in the commercial space, want to use personal devices for their job and get work done remotely, and cloud services are the key to making this a possibility. CSC's experience delivering cloud services to both government and commercial clients will aid GSA as the agency transitions to deliver as a service enterprise applications across the federal government." Under CSC's cloud EaaS blanket BPAs, federal agencies will be able to order a broad range of EaaS services faster and at better prices. Agencies can provide the mobile workforce with email access from anywhere, manage licenses and deployment more efficiently and obtain faster updates for enhanced functionality and security. About CSC CSC is a global leader in providing technology-enabled business and government solutions and services. Headquartered in Falls Church, Va., CSC has approximately 95,000 employees and reported revenue of $15.7 billion for the 12 months ended September 28, 2012.

Arizona Coyotes
2014-15 will see debut of the 'Arizona Coyotes'
The Phoenix Coyotes will be no more at the conclusion of this season.
Starting next season, the team announced they will be known as the "Arizona Coyotes." The move had long been expected, and now there is a timeline.
"We are very excited to announce that our franchise name will change to Arizona Coyotes for the start of the 2014-15 NHL season," Coyotes Co-Owner, President and CEO Anthony LeBlanc said in a statement. "Becoming the Arizona Coyotes makes sense for us since we play our games in Glendale and the city is such a great partner of ours. We also want to be recognized as not just the hockey team for Glendale or Phoenix, but the team for the entire state of Arizona and the Southwest. We hope that the name �Arizona' will encourage more fans from all over the state, not just the valley, to embrace and support our team."
As part of the name change, the team will introduce a new shoulder patch for their jerseys. It's the only change the jerseys will undergo, and will be unveiled for the Coyotes' first preseason game next season.

We had our echo today. Baby has two holes that will need repair. We also had the 20 week ultra sound, there is excess fluid in one kidney, from what I am told this is not serious. Then we met with the genetic counsellor, looks like either myself of my DH may be rare carriers of a chromosome disorder. We have to get our blood tested, but she said if what she expects is right, one of us actually only have 45 chromosomes ourselves...meaning any child we conceive will either miscarry or have a some type of chromosome disorder.
Seriously? If this is the case, this will be our only child. We always wanted 3 kids. I felt like our world was caving in before, and it just keeps coming.
I know a lot of your babies have had to have AVSD surgeries...it seems so scary. I feel like our little boy will end up being the 10% that does not recover well, or at all. It just feels like that's our luck. What is the surgery really like? Do I need to be worried?

The peak of the Alaska gold rush was between 1898 and 1903. In 1899, the army sent parties to investigate the Susitna, Matanuska, and Copper River valleys to find the best route for a trail north from Valdez through the Copper River Valley. By 1901, the army had completed the Trans-Alaska Military Road, which extended from Valdez to Eagle. In 1902, gold was discovered in the Tanana Valley, and, shortly after, a spur trail was created from Gulkana on the Valdez-Eagle route to the new mining camp in Fairbanks. This trail became the Valdez-Fairbanks Trail. The Sullivan Roadhouse was built in 1905 by John and Florence Sullivan on a part of the Valdez-Fairbanks Trail known as the Donnelly-Washburn Cut-Off. This section of the trail was considered by many to be too steep, so the Alaska Road Commission built a new road which was four miles from the Sullivan Roadhouse. The Sullivans tore the roadhouse apart and rebuilt it alongside the new road. Ongoing mining activity just north of Delta Junction in the Tenderfoot area and the Chisana Gold Strike of 1913 brought many prospectors and other travelers through the area. The Delta Junction area became known as Buffalo Center for the American bison that were transplanted here from the National Bison Range in Montana in the 1928. In 1942, construction of the Alaska Highway began, and Fort Greely military base was completed 5 miles to the south. In 1946, a dairy farm was established; beef cattle were brought in during 1953 by homesteaders. Delta Junction was incorporated as a second-class city in 1960. Construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline between 1974 and 1977 brought a dramatic upswing to the population and economy. In August 1978, the state initiated Delta Agricultural Project I, a 60,000-acre demonstration agricultural project. Twenty-two parcels, averaging 2,700 acres in size were sold by lottery. Culture Delta Junction is strategically located to provide services to summer tourist traffic. The visitor's center is located in the 'Triangle,' where the Alaska Highway meets the Richardson Highway. The community also has an elementary school, middle school, high school (with track and football field), career advancement center, outdoor skating rink, unheated skating facility, city park with ball fields, and some bike paths.

Picture: Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow Launch of the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage attraction at the Disneyland Resort Anaheim, California - 10.06.07
Former FRIENDS star Courteney Cox has paid almost $20 million (GBP10.2 million) for a wreck of a house overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The actress, who has a passion for interior design and house renovation, jumped at the chance to buy the cliff-top estate because it's an amazing piece of land, with stunning views and total privacy.
One realtor tells American magazine In Touch, "This is an incredible piece of coastline, but the house is far from luxurious."
Cox and husband David Arquette's current Malibu, California home is on the market for $33.5 million (GBP17.2 million), six years after she paid $10.2 million (GBP5.2 million) for it.
According to In Touch, the new cliff-top estate features five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two guesthouses, a hot tub and a beach cabana.

Bishops warn against changes in immigration bill that could kill it
Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez called the status quo morally unacceptable, saying, "This suffering must end."
Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez called the status quo morally unacceptable, saying, "This suffering must end."
The Nuns on the Bus on Wednesday kicked off a tour for immigration reform aimed at giving a push to legislation in Congress.
Carrying red flowers representing the 389 workers arrested during a 2008 raid, hundreds of people participated in a Walk for Justice and interfaith prayer service to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the immigration raid on the Agriprocessors Plant in Postville.
The event continues to have an impact far beyond the small town in a rural corner of the Dubuque archdiocese.
Comprehensive immigration reform appears closer than ever after a bipartisan group of senators put forward a proposal that represents months of careful negotiation.
"As members of the one body of Christ, we are obligated to stand with our little sisters and brothers," said Bishop Patrick McGrath.
The forum was part of an effort by the nation's largest faith-based organizing network to push what advocates say are essential elements for an immigration reform bill.
Across the nation hundreds of illegal immigrant were released Tuesday from detention centers, amid budget concerns tied to Friday's sequestration deadline.
The released individuals remain in removal proceedings, according to USA Today, and will likely land in a variety of supervised release programs, with the possibility of electronic monitoring.
The following is a statement from the chairman of the bishops' committee on migration. Read the related story here.
Statement of Archbishop José H. Gomez
Archbishop of Los Angeles
Chairman, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop's Committee on Migration
On May 12, a Tucson physician and her son found the body of a young male in the Santa Cruz riverbed near Tubac, about a half mile east of the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 19, according to a news release from the Tucson Samaritans and Green Valley Samaritans.
They called in the discovery to the Santa Cruz County sheriff's office, which responded immediately and removed the body.
Founded 10 years ago, the Samaritans are people who provide food, water and medical aid to migrants in the Tucson sector of the borderlands and work to humanize border policy, according to the release.

Former Rep. Stephen Sandstrom authored an immigration enforcement bill for Utah in 2010 much like Arizona's. But now The Salt Lake Tribune reports:
It was the summer of 2011 and the Orem Republican lawmaker had just finished a panel discussion on illegal immigration at a West Valley City school auditorium, where he was defending a hard-line approach.
Sandstrom, who tended to stay late after public events to meet with people one on one, was approached afterward by a 19-year-old with long, dark hair. She began to tell him her story. He later said he couldn't stop thinking about her.

A well run hotel, always being cleaned, pleasant staff who we found helpful. Beach location excellent. Room very comfortable even when the weather was bad we stayed in room 2121 nice view of the sea away from main part of the hotel. Food in restaurants got a bit repetitive after 14 nights but their was plenty to chose from some of it looked a bit dried up the later you went for dinner. The restaurant for lunch by the pool was open planned & sometimes I was put off by the the flies. Our 1st experience of The A La Carte was in the Italian restaurant it was not good as I was served uncooked chicken (it was pink) I sent it back to be served as I thought a fresh meal but I don't think it was as I was then sick all night & spent the next day in bed so be careful.
Entertainment in the evening varied & again was a bit repetitive for our choice some nice music to listen to could be an option for the hotel to have in the lobby bar.

The Story of an African King and His Friend
The Story of an African King and His FriendA story is told about a King in Africa who had a close friend that he grew up with. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) by remarking, "This is good, Allah Almighty knows best"
One day the King and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the King. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the King fired it and his thumb was blown off.
Examining the situation the friend remarked as usual, "This is good! Allah Almighty knows best."
To which the King replied, "No, this is NOT good!" and ordered his soldiers to put his friend into jail.
About a year later, the King was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured the King and took him to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to the stake.
As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the King was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone who was less than whole. So after untying the King, they chased him out of the village.
When the King reached his Palace, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend.
"You were right" the King said, "It was good that my thumb was blown off." And he proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened. "I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this."
"No," his friend replied, "this is good...Allah Almighty knows best"
"What do you mean, 'this is good'! How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?"
The King's friend replied: "Remember that the Almighty knows best and if I had NOT been in jail, I would have been with you on that hunting trip."
"He knows what is before them and what is behind them: And to Allah go back all questions (for decision)"Do Not Judge Things or Events by its Immediate Outcome!
Almighty, the Most High is the All-Knowledgeable, the All-Knower...
He chooses to show us things... but sometimes... we are not shown the wisdom behind some things. When we are confronted by circumstances that are not very pleasing.... we are quick to say: "This is not good..." but... is it really? We might not know the purpose behind it. It might turn to be a good thing.... thus⦠when we are faced with any situation.... do not be too quick to judge... always remember.... this life is a test... the good and the bad.... and there is nothing that happens for no reason... our brains are just not gifted enough to understand these reasons yet. Sometimes ... things happen to us for a reason.

My mom told me this story when I was young. A lesson to be learned is to always say Alhumdulillah, and put your trust in Allah (swt).
It was wonderful reading this story again. Jazakhallah Khair.
What can my enemies possibly do to me? My paradise is in my heart; wherever I go it goes with me, inseparable from me. For me, prison is a place of (religious) retreat; execution is my opportunity for martydom; and exile from my town is but a chance to travel.

The United States said Wednesday it would join in face-to-face talks with Iran over its disputed nuclear program if Tehran first agreed to put challenged atomic activities on hold, a shift in tactics meant to offer the Iranians a last chance to avoid punishing sanctions.
Iran dismissed the offer as "a propaganda move."
Before leaving for meetings in Europe on Iran, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that while the U.S. was willing to join talks between European nations and Iran, it was also helping to prepare a package of sanctions that Tehran could face should it decline the new offer.
"We're prepared to go either way," she said
At the White House, President George W. Bush said, "I believe that it's important that we solve this issue diplomatically, and my decision today says that the United States is going to take a leadership position in solving this issue."
The overture to join stalled European talks came after mounting pressure on the U.S. from European allies. The administration is convinced that Russia and China would support sanctions or other harsh measures if new talks fail to persuade Iran to abandon nuclear efforts that the West fears could lead to a bomb, a senior administration official said.
Rice will be working to reaffirm such support on Thursday, said the official, who briefed reporters only on condition of anonymity because the secretary was continuing talks with other countries.
The Iranian news agency said Iran accepts only proposals and conditions that are in the nation's interest. "Halting enrichment definitely doesn't meet such interests," IRNA said.
CBS News chief White House correspondent Jim Axelrod reports the United States has had no diplomatic ties with Iran and few contacts at all with its government since Islamic radicals took over the U.S. Embassy in 1979 and held diplomats for more than a year. In the recent showdown about Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Bush administration has given no signal a major shift was in the works and it was ready to engage Iran directly, Axelrod reports.
Rice will meet with foreign ministers from the other permanent U.N. Security Council members on Thursday in Vienna to finalize a package of economic incentives and threats to be presented to Tehran. That package would be on the table in any new talks involving the United States.

- Bad Customer Service
The reason of my message is regarding the bad customer service I received on behalf Menards in Schaumburg, IL.On 12/14 I got a snow blower (from store display)with my Menards Credit Card; on 12/16 attempted to use it for the 1st time and as soon as I turned it on, it turned off; it wouldn't work again.
I was told by an employee that I could return it if something goes wrong with it, that we have 90 days to return it. Well, we did and were told by the store manager that since we already put gas on it and try it (Duh!) they can't take it back or return my money. Now I have to drive far to take this bulky useless machine to get fixed. IF they decide that is not a manufacturer issue, we have to pay to get it fixed; that's extra money that me as a customer don't want to pay for something that wasn't even on for longer than minute.
The machine was a display one and I'm concerned that someone could've put something on it while on display and that the equipment's warranty won't covered. I read you return policy and they're unfair to the customer. How would I know if the machine works if I don't try it first??? I'm very upset and disappointed with the "resolution" of my complaint at the store.
Is unfair me spending money in the machine, the driving far from house to get this checked, when the store should be accountable, responsible for it. I don't want it fixed: I want my money back or a new model that isn't broken.
Besides, I'm concerned that if I get a new one, I will have the same issue as now.Please, take in consideration my situation because I deserve being treated with the respect I deserve.review #464932

Hey heartless here, how is everyone doing? hope kwanza was a real thing for you, like is was for me. Did everyone sign up for Obamacare like our president ordered us to do, hope so we have to make this work that's what uncle joe says too. Anyway I have to admit after reviewing the above complaint, listen I Am currently re-writing the entire menards employee work manual, this guest was right! If the employee told you to return th item, we should take it back " no questions asked". I realize we sell inferior quality, Chinese made products with gas motors on them but that does not let us off the hook to make sure they will run after the sale. I am currently speaking with store manager to see if we can resolve this problem by making a full refund.0 0 Reply

Sorry I was so rude accusing our guests of being ignorant. My boss told me to tone back a little so I would not turn future customers away. I do believe we at menards make every effort to treat our guests with respect as some of you out there don't believe me. I have contacted the store manager in Schaumburg and directed him to take care of this situation ASAP. Please accept my apology for being so rash and in the future I will take these problems very serious. My store is experiencing negative revenue this year and it may be due to inflammatory remarks and actions by our team members including me. Merry kwanza everyone.0 0 Reply

I've been very tempted for sometime now to take a picture of the pushed gas powered equipment policy at Menards and post it on here. It clearly stats that it's a manufactures recommendation for Menards. Menards does not have a repair center or employees qualified to diagnosis issues with powered equipment to determine if it's a consumer caused issue or a defect in the machine. Therefore once gas is put into the machine it must go to a repair center with qualified individuals. If it's covered under warranty it will be covered.
Gas powered equipment is very complicated for people and often they buy it and break it because of their ignorance. Why is it such a bad thing that the manufactures wants to protect themselves from m0r0ns?
It does not matter that some newbie worker told you that you could bring it back in 90-days(standard policy for most items). This answer sounds to me like you talked to a cashier or a carry out or some fool outside of the hardware department. The hardware department is 100% responsible for the blowers and throwers and the policy is posted all over the area by them. I don't believe everything I'm told and neither should anyone else. You should always fact check. How do you fact check such a matter? Simple read the signs in the area, read your receipt, go up to the service desk where the policy is POST IN BIG BOLD WORDS, check Menards online website and so on.
Anyone standing up for the ignorant consumer in this... case obviously has never worked retail and had to deal with ignorant fools. Show more

I work in Menards Hardware myself, and I find the if you put gas in it policy *** to put it simply. How else would the guest know if there was something wrong with it?0 0 Reply

Unfortunately the bulk of the problems with gas powered equipment is consumer related. Oil isn't put in the engine, gas that's been sitting around all summer and has gone stale is used etc. etc.. It's very important to use fresh gas in a snowblower. Gas blends vary from season to season. Gas blended for winter use is more volatile than summer blend gas. Using old summer blend gas just won't work. If you fail to put oil in the machine it will seize up and won't run. Both a consumer error and not covered by warranty, something the store is not qualified to determine. That is why the manufactures warranty requires the product goes to a service center. Why is the store accountable? They didn't make it. The responsibility belongs to the manufacturer of the snowblower. The written warranty explains how they handle this responsibility. If you take time to read the warranty you will find it says they will REPAIR it if there is a manufacturer defect. Why should Menards or the manufacturer pay for repair if it was caused by the consumer not following directions? You state that you read that you read Menards return policy and feel it is not fair to consumers. If you felt it was such a bad policy, why did you make the purchase from Menards?0 0 Reply
Dec 19, 2013 #760964
The return policy is clearly stated in a number of places, buy the service desk at the entry to the store, signs are posted by the snowblowers letting you know they need to be taken to a service center and on your receipt. You shouldn't have purchased it if your weren't willing to accept their policy.0 0 Reply

Another Menards employee checks in with their worthless comment. And of course they are "anonymous" as always. COWARD!!!
Of course the commenter read all your signs. Did YOU read where the commenter said they were told they could bring it back if they had any problems??? You can't have a BS store policy, and they tell a customer something else. Why do you bottomfeeder workers do that?
May as well get a gun and rob the customer while you got em in your store.
to Ghost of purchases past Dec 19, 2013 #761030
Policies are posted so there is no confusion as to what the policy is. Yes it could have been returned in the box within 90 days. Spoken statements are open to misinterpretation or misunderstanding. We will never know exactly what was spoken by either party but we do know what the posted policies are. As I said before, if you don't like the policy don't buy it there. I just bought a chainsaw from a small hardware store. Before I left the store they explained the gas and oil mix. Put gas and oil in the saw and started it. We both knew it ran when it left the store. Yes, I paid more for it than a saw at Menards but I also got a different level of service. For all we know, this guy put gas in the snowblower and no oil and ruined the machine. That's why they need to go to a service center. If there is a defect it will be repaired at no charge. If he didn't put oil in it or used stale gas he will need to pay for it. Stores and manufactures shouldn't bear the cost of someone's inability to follow directions. Keep in mind if they did the cost would only be passed along to other consumers in the form of higher prices.0 0 Reply

Well you have just be initiated into "bend over your at menards" service is non- existent at menards. They don't care if it works or not they just want your money. I suggest you take the squeaky wheel gets the grease routine. Call manager everyday, call department manager everyday, tell all friends and family about this transaction, be a cheerleader for another home store in your area, don't darken the doors at menards again.0 0 Reply

38 year old woman | Sherman Oaks, CA, USA | Seeking men 34-48 within 50 miles
Active within 5 days
A woman from Spain living in LA.
I'm a mix of two worlds, the classical and the contemporary one. I am from Spain but I have lived in LA for a while. I love the beauty of both countries. I like to tune in with the European heart beat, therefore I go back to Spain every year to see my family and to keep my roots alive. I am a Spanish teacher and a rhythmic gymnastics coach. I'm fulfilling my passion through my careers and now I need something of that level of intensity, commitment, and an outlet for my emotional creativity. Some people have checklists about things like this. I think an open mind and an open heart go hand in hand.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Performing arts , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Basketball, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Soccer, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Fish
Spain-anywhere from Granada to Madrid, Andorra, London, Holland... do I really have to pick a favorite?
The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ
Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Homeland, Breaking Bad, Madman, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart.... Love going to the movies. Last movies I loved were Birdman and Gone Girl.
Explore a new cuisine, a new wine. Go to a ballet, a dance, a flamenco show. Listen to live music. Go to see a movie, a documentary. Take a short trip or simply doing nothing.
New Yorker, New York Times, El Pais...

Comments about Kelty Grand Mesa 6 Tent:
Get a hank of Kelty's "triptease" and replace all the guy lines (add ones to the sides of the fly). They're hard to see in the daytime and terrible trip hazards at night.
The shock cords inside the poles should be larger/tighter. The pole sections will separate with the lightest pull and snag on the sleeves.

Comments about Kelty Grand Mesa 6 Tent:
Withstood 60mph+ wind gusts and torrential downpours from multiple thunderstorms over 3 days without any problems. I actually watched 4 tents get blown down and 1 destroyed completely during that trip. Poles are very sturdy and can hold up under any conditions. Very spacious and is high enough to stand in which is a plus.
Great value for the money, especially at the price they are selling it on this site.
