The end of January can mean many things. Next week is the Super Bowl, the official sad end of football season. If today we are wearing shorts outside, tomorrow we are sledding. And New Year's resolutions are drawing to a close.
I wonder why so many resolutions bite the dust so early? Ponder with me.Â
Let me introduce you to Mr. Ferdinand Barry, a tinsmith sculptor. He was the very talented artist who created this very large arm and hand that has been on the tall steeple of the Second Baptist Church for many years. The church's motto is "Our feet grow dusty in the path of service." A lovely 1974-75 yearbook was dedicated to Rev. J.H.

For Jasmine Morgan, under the exterior of a working, Mississippi State University marketing student lies the heart of a writer.
Morgan, originally from Chicago, Ill. now living in Atlanta, Ga., said she felt the need to study out-of-state when it came time to apply for college.
What on earth has happened to television programming?
Sidelined by the icky weather since New Years and unable to focus on a good book due to a documented phenomenon known as Chemo Brain, I have been relying on what my Daddy calls the Idiot Box for entertainment.
I've decided his description is about right.
That loud thump you heard Tuesday morning was me jumping on yet another bandwagon.
A top ten list just wouldn't be the same without the other five, right?
Last week we covered a tempura-battered hot dog, shallots, lamb fries (not French), macarons (not roons) and a fried oyster BLT. Not a bad start to end the year. Let us now be complete.Â

Russia House RestaurantRead MoreIn the words of owners Ali and Homerya Darugar, Russia House Restaurant aims to cultivate "the warm feeling that you are dining at your aristocratic grandmother's table." Indeed, Mrs. Darugar's years of professional chef experience are anchored in the childhood days she spent in her own grandmother's kitchen. So when the Darugars opened their restaurant in 1992, they naturally combined fine dining with a homey attention to detail and a commitment to addressing every guest as "Czar." In the sun-flooded, linen-cloaked dining rooms, plates of French-influenced Russian, Continental, and Georgian cuisine rack up stellar reviews five stars at a time. Unfussy dishes of stuffed cabbage and lamb casserole share tables with elegant platters of filet mignon and other tender meats in rich, complex French sauces. Depending on what they order, guests may also witness Russia House's flair for culinary drama: many entrees are prepared tableside.790 Station StreetHerndon, VA US
Matsutake Sushi & GrillRead MoreWhen flames leap out of the tabletops at Matsutake Sushi & Grill, diners applaud rather than dash to the exits. Skilled chefs carefully orchestrate each pyrotechnic display as they man tableside hibachi grills, flipping and searing buttery scallops or thick cuts of filet mignon in front of diners. As they douse platefuls of flame-kissed vegetables and meat with garlic butter, lemon, or their signature sauce, they dazzle guests with adroit knife skills and their ability to keep hoards of roving balloon animals at bay. For more delicate eats, the restaurant's sushi chefs roll tightly wrapped maki and slice orders of fresh sashimi behind the open-view sushi bar. Framed artwork and Japanese-style silk screens lend a traditional feel to the red-walled dining room, although dangling pendant lights, a flat-screen television, and a holographic waitstaff imbue it with modern accents. Outside, guests chopstick into entrees al fresco on the open-air patio.13049 Worldgate DriveHerndon, VA US

With all the controversy and turf issues regarding this drug I have been surprised to only find anectdotal posts ("in my state we ....") and no links to the actual legalese.
Any takers?

Actress Alia Bhatt was an early learner! She says she started dating in Class sixth, but explains that those relationships were harmless and innocent.
"I started dating in the sixth standard. That wasn't really dating. We'd used to just smile at each other from across the classroom," Alia said on popular talk show 'Koffee With Karan'.
The actress, who will flaunt a gold colored gown by designer Shehla Khan, will be joined by her 'Student Of The Year' co-stars Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan on Sunday, on the chat show that will be aired on Star World.
On the movies front, Alia will be seen in Imtiaz Ali's 'Highway' opposite Randeep Hooda and Abhishek Verman's '2 States' with Arjun Kapoor.

Mechanical torque limiters still make sense
Mechanical and electronic overload protection each has its place. Mechanical overload-protection devices, such as the EAS -Compact backlash-free, ball-detent torque-limiting clutch, can disconnect drive and driven components almost instantaneously. So-called soft collisions provide adequate time

Because of the significant difference between static holding torque and dynamic resistance torque, the ball -and- detent clutch concept was quickly discarded.

Sumptuous book,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: In fine Style: The Art of Tudor and Stuart Fashion (Hardcover)
For anyone interested in costume and/ or Tudor and Stuart history this book is a must. I found it to be well written and informative without being dry and the photography is gorgeous. There are lots of visual and verbal descriptions of the fabrics and forms of clothing and jewelry that were used. I was so pleased with the book I purchased a second copy for a friend's birthday. I hope she enjoys it as much as I am.

The Carefrees
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carefrees were a British girl group formed in 1964, most known for their song "We Love You Beatles", a tribute to The Beatles from their album We Love You All, which was released in the same year of their formation. The song was their only charted single. The session vocalists Lynn Cornell, Barbara Kay and Betty Prescott made up the group. Cornell was married to Andy White, who played drums on one of the versions of the Beatles' "Love Me Do". They disbanded in 1964, the year they were formed.

Video: LeBron James with the ally-oop to Dwyane Wade
Nov 7, 2012, 10:20 PM EDT
You cam make a couple of takeaways from the Miami Heat's sound thrashing of the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday. One is that the Nets just are not very good and a long way from contending like their owner has promised. A very long way.
The other is that the Miami Heat are very good. And that if you get Dwyane Wade and LeBron James running the break together 2-on-1 you are pretty much toast. Which is what happens here after Wade makes the steal and it is off to the races.
- 1972wasalongtimeago - Nov 7, 2012 at 10:43 PM
Worth mentioning how much I'm enjoying this Heat team. Not making any bold predictions or statements. Just saying its so much fun watching the game being played so beautifully.
- eventhorizon04 - Nov 8, 2012 at 3:42 AM
The degree of ball movement, especially when compared to 2010 and early 2011 – when it seemed like LeBron/Wade iso every possession on offense – is a lot of fun to watch.
The Heat aren't the Spurs, of course, but you can definitely see the chemistry advantages of most of the top 9 guys on the roster playing with each other for 3 seasons.
- guyaneserj - Nov 8, 2012 at 7:22 AM
100% agree.. It's a BEAUTIFUL thing!!!
- hehateme2 - Nov 8, 2012 at 8:25 AM
Simply the best…. better than all the rest…
- progress2011 - Nov 8, 2012 at 12:10 AM
This team is SCARY !
The bench is so deep…when players rotate in, the offense and defense continues to click.
LBJ said – No Body cares who scores, as long as there is a score.
That's honorable and FUNDAMENTAL.
- miamatt - Nov 8, 2012 at 12:39 PM
Well said. Two things jump out about this year's Heat: (1) the ball movement is the best we've ever seen in Miami and (2) the bench is usually expanding the lead rather than losing it. I'm sure the rotation will shorten come playoffs, but the more rest we can get for the big FOUR along the way, the better the Heat will be.
We'll see how everybody is feeling in April, but man, how about the returns on Allen and Lewis thus far? They are both exceeding expectations in my mind. I knew Allen would be a great fit, but it's about so much more than 3-pointers with him. And Lewis? If he keeps this up he'll have a healthy role all year.
- 1heatedtoombrayduh - Nov 8, 2012 at 7:08 AM
This team is going to be terrifying if they can keep this pace up all season. It totally reminds me of the Oregon ducks..their score is like 50 something by half time and the back ups get starter minutes. lol Everyone is getting a chance to play, but can this style of play work in the playoffs where it becomes half court basketball?
- guyaneserj - Nov 8, 2012 at 9:23 AM
Probably not.. we'll see a smaller rotation, but it gives fringe players da opportunity 2 impress Spo enuf 2 get dem playoff mins..
- southbeachtalent - Nov 8, 2012 at 9:31 AM
I think the minutes given to the bench players will only benefit us in the playoffs.
- guyaneserj - Nov 8, 2012 at 9:35 AM
AGREED! A rested Jesus Shuttlesworth [I mention Ray Ray 1st cause he's 37], LBJ, DWade, Bosh will benefit us tremendously!
- 1heatedtoombrayduh - Nov 8, 2012 at 12:06 PM
Yeah, I love the thought of the big three getting 30 (highly efficient ) minutes a night..It may hurt some MVP votes, but this could add years to one's career (if this is kept up). Long term not short term.

Toronto International Film Festival: An insider's guide to babe magnets and albino alligators
Colin Firth was in town to promote his new film 'The King's Speech,' while Werner Herzog intoned about albino alligators in his 3-D film 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams.'
Fred Thornhill/Reuters
Where else but in Canada would a world-class film festival feature a hockey musical for its opening night gala?
The enjoyably clunky "Score" was, however, something of a red herring for the Toronto International Film Festival, which screens approximately 300 movies in 11 days and previews everything from Hollywood Oscar bait to the Finnish-English-Russian-Swedish entry, "Laplander's Odyssey."
"Rainer's Odyssey," as I am tempted to call my cinema sojourn in the Great White North, has taken in 20 of those 300 movies thus far – the festival wraps this weekend – and encompassed manifold meet-and-greets. Racing up and down the long avenues en route to innumerable screenings, I have become an adept practitioner of parkour.
What you see as you whiz by is sometimes as entertaining as the films themselves. Is that Martin Sheen on a picket line of disgruntled hotel workers? (Yes.) Is the geeky guy encased in his entourage Bill Gates? (Yes.) Is that mega-bearded dude really Joaquin Phoenix? (Maybe not. A press release from a company called Nuclear Lounge Media stated that "Fans are being tricked and disillusioned by a fraud who arrives by limousine and is accompanied by a massive entourage of security and scantily clad groupies.")
Bruce Springsteen, perpetually black-leather-jacketed, is in town along with his singer wife, Patti Scialfa, for the hero-worshippy but fascinating documentary "The Promise: The Making of 'Darkness on the Edge of Town.' " As part of the festival's "Mavericks" chat series, Springsteen revealed to chat mate Edward Norton, also in basic black, that his 20-something children aren't interested in seeing him perform. "Why would any kid want to come and see thousands cheer their parents? They'd rather see thousands boo their parents."
Fun guy Woody Allen, at a press conference for his soon-to-be-released new OK movie "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger," was similarly upbeat. "I'll be 75 in a couple of months and I do see myself as being waning and decrepit. For me, it gets worse and worse: I see absolutely no advantage in aging. It's total annihilation with no hope of resurrection."
On a brighter note, Keanu Reeves, in town to promote the romantic caper movie "Henry's Crime," said he might be up for a sequel to "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" – but "only if they come up with a good script." Reeves was often mobbed by the public in what, in the trade, is now referred to as a "cluster grope."
The reliably cranky Mike Leigh was in fine form at the public screening of his mostly terrific new film "Another Year." I always look forward to his meltdowns when confronted with dumb postscreening audience questions. A few years ago, at the Q-and-A for "Happy-Go-Lucky," a woman wanted him to fill her in on what she missed when she ducked into the ladies' room. (His reaction is unprintable.) This year, someone asked him why "Another Year" had to end sadly. "Well," he responded, with a look that would wither granite, "we were going to have a happy ending with elephants and monkeys but we ran out of money."
Werner Herzog, with whom I had dinner, is another famous festival character. His new movie, "Cave of Forgotten Dreams," is about the 30,000-plus-year-old cave paintings in Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc in southern France, and it's in 3-D! It's a remarkable experience. The 3-D brings out the curvatures in the caves so that the charcoal drawings of horses and rhinos and, in one case, a female torso, have a roiling monumentality. These are not only the first-known drawings by humans, they are also, in a sense, the first movies.
Herzog being Herzog, he also manages to work in a digression about twin albino alligators, which his executive producer has suggested is in the movie so that the great director, who also narrates the film, could intone the word "doppelgänger" on the soundtrack.
The distinction between documentary and fiction, between "subjective" and "objective," is never clear-cut, least of all with Herzog, who for his entire career has shuttled back and forth between filmic forms. He tells me about the time he confronted a viewer who claimed that documentarians should be like "a fly on the wall." "No," he replied, "we should be the hornets who come out and sting!"
I was yanked away from the worldly otherworldliness of Herzog's film by Davis Guggenheim's documentary "Waiting for Superman," about America's failing public school system. Guggenheim wants to do for education reform what his "An Inconvenient Truth," at least in theory, did for climate change reform. He has Bill Gates, who is interviewed in the documentary and thinks it "powerful," in his corner. But Guggenheim's denigration of teachers unions and his starry-eyed appraisal of charter schools brought forth a mass e-mail to journalists from American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, who writes, "Is America ready to settle for a good education – for the few? That's the unfortunate takeaway from [the film]."
Just in case Canadians are blasé about education reform – according to a 2006 international survey, Canada ranked 5th among 30 developed nations in teen proficiency in math and science while the United States ranked 25th – the film's producer, Lesley Chilcott, told a panel audience: "My understanding is things are starting to slip here." Cue the creepy music.
This was the year when the festival finally unveiled its new year-round home, Bell Lightbox, after a decade of promises and fundraising pitches and hard-hat tours. A five-story downtown complex set beneath a 42-story residential development, it features a three story atrium, twin escalators leading up to five public cinemas, two galleries, three learning studios, a bistro, a restaurant, and a lounge. Everything, it seems, but a heliport. And it all has that new-building smell. A temporary installation features a flurry of split-second clips from 100 "essential" movies ranging from "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (No. 1) to "Playtime (No. 100). Robert De Niro's cabbie's license, dating from the penurious days when he was a taxi driver instead of just playing one, is enshrined in a glass case. All in all, a movie nut's mecca.
My favorite mishap at the festival: Jean-Luc Godard's talky "Film Socialisme" was screened without much in the way of English-language subtitles. Since for decades his movies have been incomprehensible with English-language subtitles, I didn't see what the fuss was about.
My favorite movie star encounter: chatting over dinner with Colin Firth, who plays the famously stuttering King George VI in the marvelous "The King's Speech" (out in December). He said of the king, "He would rather have faced machine-gun fire than a microphone." Geoffrey Rush plays the speech therapist, Lionel Logue, who saved him.
Firth is a fixture in Toronto and a babe magnet for women of a certain age – of any age, actually. He seems to have finally shucked the Mr. Darcy vibe that saddled him as surely as Gandhi's once saddled Ben Kingsley. For all that, he remains impeccably well-mannered. I have no doubt he would be unfailingly polite even to twin albino alligators.

The Computer Chaos report's impact on the way the government buys, uses technology continues to be felt
It has been more than a decade since the publication of "Computer Chaos: Billions Wasted Buying Federal Computer Systems."
When the report was published, I was the Republican staff director of the then-Senate Governmental Affairs Committee's Oversight of Government Management Subcommittee. My boss, former Sen. William Cohen (R-Maine), was the ranking Republican on that subcommittee.
Cohen has always been exceptional about recognizing members of his staff for the contributions they made to the work published under his name, but he didn't want anyone to question his involvement or commitment to reforming the way government works. To this day, he continues his work often behind the scenes to confront the challenges of modernizing government and changing its culture.
Although Cohen reviewed and approved every finding, recommendation and word in the "Computer Chaos" report, many on his staff influenced its outcome and the subsequent legislative response. Bob Tyrer, Cohen's staff director at the time, reminded staff members that if the report was going to initiate any policy changes, it needed to be clear, concise and to use his words pithy.
Bill Greenwalt, who is now a senior staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, played an important role in developing the findings and recommendations. But he also had the thankless task of subjecting himself to countless edits. Greenwalt's wife, Paula Matthews, actually came up with the report's title.
Speaking of edits, Kim Corthell, who at the time was the minority staff director for the Senate Judiciary Committee's Juvenile Justice Subcommittee, gave much of her time to extensive final edits and quality assurance.
Others, such as Peter Wade, who was detailed to the subcommittee staff from what was known then as the General Accounting Office, also played a role. Several others on detail contributed to the report, including Air Force acquisition professionals, who provided research and sanity checks. My role was to coordinate the moving parts.
The report was released Oct. 12, 1994, which, because of numerous delays by White House staff, was only a day before President Clinton signed into law the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA), the most sweeping reform of acquisition law up until that time.
It was a chilly ride on the staff bus to the White House. The mostly Democratic staffers mistakenly thought this was a deliberate attempt to minimize the accomplishment of FASA, which was being touted as the major acquisition reform component of the National Performance Review, and upstage the act's signing.
It was a matter of unfortunate timing. We had planned to release the report weeks after the signing ceremony was to take place. But the Clinton administration's delays resulted in FASA being signed the day after Cohen appeared on all the major networks describing how deficient U.S. acquisition law and policy were in preventing wasteful spending on inefficient processes and systems.
Cohen attended the FASA signing, and it was clear that the principals agreed that even after FASA there was still work to be done.
We began exploring the issue of automatic data-processing procurement reform in early 1992. After poring over thousands of pages of reports, studies, articles and books, and quietly interviewing experts and practitioners, we felt we were on to something.
A seminal meeting occurred the day before Clinton's first inauguration, when Steve Kelman, a Harvard professor and leading authority on government acquisition policy, came to Cohen's office to discuss the government's approach to technology acquisitions.
Once Kelman became administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, it was clear that Cohen would have an ally for change in the Clinton administration. Roger Johnson, then head of the General Services Administration, and John Koskinen, who was appointed deputy director of management at the Office of Management and Budget, also were supporters.
This trio elevated the discussion in the administration and gave us a top-quality team to work with. This team, along with the support of Elaine Kamarck, former Vice President Al Gore's senior policy adviser, was ready for reform.
Gore was launching the National Performance Review (NPR). As part of it, the administration examined many of the systemic issues related to the government's failure to transform its procurement practices. But in our view, its report seemed to tinker more at the edges than propose the focused, sweeping changes that we thought were needed to shock the system into performance.
For example, NPR's report called for raising the levels on delegations of procurement authority, but it was largely silent on what changes were required to adopt organizational best practices and focus on the underlying process change that was required before investing in technology.
The review's report also did not address other reforms such as eliminating the governmentwide bid-protest jurisdiction of GSA's Board of Contract Appeals. That reform required changing business processes and adopting performance-based contracting, architectures and business cases.
Brooks block
Given the political climate and the emotions being aroused by the discussion of modifying the Brooks Act the law governing government IT buys we surmised that the Clinton administration did not want to step out too far with its recommendations and risk alienating one of its biggest supporters, Rep. Jack Brooks (D-Texas), then chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and somebody the administration knew it would need as an ally.
Brooks had a well-earned reputation for protecting his turf. The town was full of former government officials, lobbyists, staff and members who got crossways with Brooks, and it was clear that nobody wanted to cross him by trying to institute meaningful reform to the Brooks Act.
Brooks' power became clear during FASA negotiations. When we suggested that Cohen was interested in amending the Brooks Act, we were told those changes would not be considered for fear of alienating Brooks and losing House support for FASA.
Cohen's inclination was to call Brooks and work something out, as the two men did with the Competition in Contracting Act earlier in their careers. But we decided to let FASA play out and save the IT reform for another day. We thought the reforms were too important to get watered down in some other piece of legislation.
We needed a campaign rather than simply offering a legislative fix, soliciting co-sponsors and then watching it die. To succeed, we had to earn the public's support. This was a calculated risk. We decided we should issue the report, gauge reaction, then base the subsequent legislative proposal on pushing the envelope as far as we could based on that reaction.
We issued the report with a legislative outline in mind that would amend the Brooks Act.
It seems, however, that the reform gods had a different plan. Less than a month after we issued "Computer Chaos," the GOP took over the House and Senate. My boss suddenly found himself in the majority party and chairman of the subcommittee. Brooks lost his seat in the House.
This unusual chain of events caused us to push the envelope much further than we had anticipated. We decided to propose a repeal of the Brooks Act and drive reform as hard as we could.
It was only after the 1994 election and the passage of reforms that we realized it would symbolize the beginning of the legislative effort to reform how the government approaches technology acquisition. At the time, the federal IT community largely ignored the report.
Regardless of whether one liked the report, its impact on the way the government buys and uses technology continues to be felt.
