Over the years, I've penned a number of columns and blog postings for this and other journals in our community. Sad to say, few have drawn much commentary or reader response. Oh, there was a column last spring citing research done by a local professor that predicted President Barack Obama's re-election in November. That drew some scathing commentary attacking me for my bias, my wrong-headedness and the failures of my logic. I'll let Jan. 21, 2013, stand as my rebuttal.
In a column published in FCW last fall, I asked: Where are the big, bold ideas to remake the federal bureaucracy? I wrote: "Where are the thinkers who will banish our 1950s-era federal processes and structures and remake Washington, D.C.? And why do our career and political leaders...seem so painfully and embarrassingly short of new ideas?"
That struck a nerve — 40-plus of them, in fact. Most of the comments came from career public servants, most often from an anonymous or private e-mail address. They noted four key barriers to improving federal management and the government's performance:
* A lack of focus on management by political appointees.
* Failed efforts at upgrading the government's IT infrastructure. As one wag put it, "In the federal government, we define the trailing edge of technology."
The challenge for government will be to use collaborative tools to make it more connected and less hierarchical.
* An overly cumbersome procurement process.
* An equally burdensome federal hiring — and firing — process.
They also pointed to some promising factors that could force us toward a 21st-century government: * An emerging workforce of digital natives who bring with them expectations of collaboration, instantaneous communications and innovative technologies.
* A desire to reverse the trend toward contracting out more tasks to the private sector while enhancing the government's ability to oversee and manage contract dollars and activities.
* Powerful new strategic information and communication technologies that promise to change government.
* Global trends and innovative approaches that are transforming the government's delivery of services to the public.
* Revolutionary new business models for the government and elevated customer expectations.
* Heightened expectations that government must deliver on its policy promises.
In his recent State of the Union address, Obama called for a smarter government. Here are some initial steps suggested by our readers:
1. Create a different culture by taking advantage of the need for new hires. The next four years will bring an increase in federal employee retirements, which offers a unique opportunity for the government to recruit individuals with the desired set of new skills and behaviors.
2. Give all employees new collaborative technologies. Millennials will be the majority of the government's new hires. These young people have grown up using computers and collaborative technologies, so the challenge for government will be to use those tools — social networking, wikis, blogs and virtual worlds — to make it more connected and less hierarchical.
3. Develop new relationships between the government and its contract workforce. A major challenge for the new administration will be to forge a true partnership between employees and contractors.
4. Enhance collaboration between the federal government and state and local governments, as well as the nonprofit and private sectors. The federal government alone cannot effectively respond to all the challenges now facing the nation, which are as varied as sustaining the environment and combating terrorism. The administration must improve its collaboration with other organizations to meet those challenges.
5. Become more citizen-centric. Americans want the government to work effectively, seamlessly and openly. A transformed government would focus as much on responsible execution and operational excellence as on the initiation of new policies and programs.
So what do you say? Send me your ideas (firstname.lastname@example.com), and I will do my best to synthesize and integrate them.

Three-time Federal 100 winner is leaving government in July.

OPM is partnering with CSID to try to manage the fallout from a massive breach of some 4 million federal personnel records.

Through computer forensics training and internships, veterans are helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement tackle a backlog in child exploitation cases.
After two months on the job studying DOD's cybersecurity and IT needs, Secretary Ashton Carter is set to unveil a new Pentagon cyber strategy in Silicon Valley.
The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
Perhaps we need to consider the analysis at an earlier point. It's not clear to me what you mean by government performance. Is it lowering costs? Is it being more efficient in achieving government goals?
I write a lot about government, and have worked internally, and as an external consultant, and the one thing I notice is that people, particularly outside of government really don't understand the role of government in our society, or how those "barriers" you talk about are a result of the "checks and balances" system which is fundamental to government. While I agree with your point #1 to an extent (because things are so culturally related), I think that to improve "performance", there may be costs in other ways. If, for example, you remove the checks and balances, you WILL cut procurement costs, speed action, etc. Is that a worthwhile tradeoff?

Lactivist-athiest-feminist wife to DH , mama to beautiful DS Kai 9/2011, #2 due 10/2015
It's normal to have the most milk first thing in the morning. I always wondered why farmers got up so early to milk their cows around dawn. I thought I would have cows that slept late and go out and milk them at 10 am. It turns out the cows have the most milk first thing in the morning. Humans do too.
There are some of us that seem to be blessed with enough milk to feed two children no matter how we try to get our supply to decrease. What I would do is have a flannel blanket nearby. When the baby would nurse the first breast I would let the milk flow from the other breast into the blanket. If the breast was engorged I would massage a little to help get that foremilk out of there so he would get hindmilk. That should do the trick.

Gear Question
whats the difference from the ProLite...
whats the difference from the ProLite 4's?
The prolite 3's were a 3 season sleeping pad, where the 4's were for 4 seasons. The 4's were slightly thicker and had a higher R rating (ie more insulation from the cold ground). The 4's were also heavier and more expensive.

Life is pretty awesome, even better when you get to share it with someone special
I'm a very down to earth chick. Positive, giving, trusting, and a very open person: open-minded, open-hearted. I have a tendency to give people my all, I have no reason to hide anything, and not be myself. My friends and family are very important to me. I'm a honest person. I believe I'm funny. I enjoy making people laugh and having a good laugh myself. I believe I have an independent mind and unique personality. I like to have fun and try new things, go new places, and meet new people. I don't mind getting all dolled up, but I don't mind getting a lil dirty too. I enjoy mostly everything from movies, camping, shopping, hiking, and i like going to the gym. I rather you hate me for me, than love me for who I'm not. But I rather you not hate me at all. =) I think I'm a pretty patient, level-headed person. I'm happiest just being my dorky, silly self. Sometimes shy, but super-friendly and can be flirty, so don't be afraid to say Hi. I do wonder what happened to respect, manners, chivalry, and gentlemen.

I've been to Japan and I would love to go back. I enjoy visiting my brother anywhere he gets stationed, currently Hawaii. i don't really have any fave spots. Anywhere with great company is a pretty good spot for me.
I don't really have favorite things, because I like alot of stuff and it's always hard for me to pick JuST one. It's definitely easier and a much shorter list to tell you the things I don't like.
I'm up for trying new things. I like to get dolled up to go to the club or a bar. I enjoy going to the beach, the mall, and the movies. Also, I like to just hang around with friends and family. Sometimes I like to stay in, watch a movie or read books

Leader DeLay:
The Washington Post's Mike Allen fleshes out yesterday's Hill reporting about conservative groups rallying to House Majority Leader DeLay's defense, Noting that the Conservative Union and including the Heritage Foundation, Leadership Institute, and Family Research Council met with him last week and have promised to use their grassroots resources to do damage control on his ethics charges. They "also have talked about holding a salute or tribute dinner for DeLay. They said the proceeds would benefit a children's charity not associated with the majority leader." And in response to ads by Campaign for America's Future and the Public Campaign Action Fund going after DeLay, the Leader responded "Bring it on." Because that worked so well for the President and John Kerry. LINK
The Washington Times' Stephen Dinan conducts a battlefield report, as liberals and conservatives prepare for battle over House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Liberal advocacy groups Campaign for America's Future and Public Campaign Action Fund will run $100,000 in ads while the American Conservative Union and other conservative Republicans shore up support and plot the best way to help. Where the story goes next -- the Texas trial, Abramoff's indictment, House Ethics, or Mike Allen's laptop -- is anybody's guess. LINK
USA Today's Jim Drinkard ledes with liberal groups hoping to use DeLay's ethics issues as fundraising booster, offering a good roundup of the anti-DeLay activity -- including DeLay spokesman Dan Allen hitting back and playing the Soros card. LINK
Newsweek's Howard Fineman recognizes the signs of a Majority Leader fighting for his political life -- and the over-the-top move drawing a parallel between himself and Terri Schiavo put blood in the water. With his fund-raising machine under suspicion and even the Wall Street Journal expressing its . . . distaste, might not help Tom DeLay in the K Street corridors of power where he's "feared and hated" or the GOP leadership where he is "not beloved," Fineman writes. LINK
"This is a city dedicated to ambition, but also to the occasional ritual (and largely ineffective) cleansing. The goal of the truly power-hungry is to find new routes to the top without antagonizing a critical mass of the trampled and the angry. DeLay succeeded for quite some time; that time might be about to end. True, Republicans control both chambers of Congress. But just because DeLay won't be subpoenaed to testify on the Hill doesn't mean he is safe."
Bush agenda:
Coordination or control? The Washington Post's Michael Fletcher reports on A1 that President Bush is keeping his Cabinet close, requiring the department heads to spend as many as four hours a week working out of a special office created in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House and meeting with the President's policy and communications aides. LINK
Some see something evil; others see good coordination. Seems like the latter to us.
The New York Times reports that President Bush has nominated Vice President Cheney's son-in-law for a top Homeland Security post. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's John Wilke chronicles the complaints against Office of Special Counsel head Scott Bloch.
In a weird Wall Street Journal op-ed, Peter Robinson tries his best at a Safire-esque channeling of Ronald Reagan and asks him what he makes of the march toward democracy in the former Soviet states.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Lactose Intolerance - Treatment Overview
Spread milk or milk products throughout the day. Many people who are lactose-intolerant find it helpful to eat small amounts of lactose-containing products throughout the day instead of larger amounts all at one time.
Eat or drink milk and milk products that have reduced lactose. In most grocery stores, you can buy milk with reduced lactose. Some people like buying this kind of milk and find that it helps control their symptoms. Others find that it tastes too sweet or is too expensive. People who have diabetes may find that lactose-reduced milk raises their blood sugar levels higher than normal.
Eat or drink other foods instead of milk and milk products. You can substitute soy milk and soy cheese for milk and milk products. You can also use nondairy creamers in your coffee. But keep in mind that nondairy creamers do not contain the same vitamins and minerals as milk, and they may contain more fat than milk contains.
Use lactase products. Lactase products are dietary supplements that help you digest lactose. There are many different brands of lactase products. Some are pills that you chew (such as Lactaid) before you eat or drink milk products. Others are liquids that you can add to milk 24 hours before you drink it. Some foods have extra lactase added to them. Because products and brands are different, you may want to try a few to see which ones work best for you.
Eat yogurt with live cultures (not pasteurized). Some people who are lactose-intolerant can eat yogurt without having problems, especially yogurt that contains live cultures. This type of yogurt can help people digest lactose. All yogurts are made with live cultures, but many yogurts go through a process called "heat treatment" that kills the bacteria. If you want to be sure you are buying yogurt that still contains live cultures, check the label for the words "active yogurt cultures," "living yogurt cultures," or "contains active cultures." It's best to try a small amount of different brands of yogurt to see which ones work best for you.

Academia, applied research, and activism are all connected in the eyes of Dr. Lenore Newman.
When she accepted the role of Canada Research Chair in Food Security in the Environment at the University of the Fraser Valley, she knew she'd be focusing on research that is extremely relevant to the UFV region, and on topics that are at times contentious.
Her staunch defense of the principle of maintaining farmland placed in British Columbia's Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), a position solidified after formal research into the 40-year history of the ALR, makes her a popular source for media commentary.

The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) and the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to further develop opportunities for students to work on environmental and community planning projects in the region.
Since 2013, the FVRD has supported UFV in a number of student led projects in spatial planning and environmental research. Sharon Gaetz, Chair of the FVRD says, "We are very fortunate to have a leading edge educational facility like UFV in our community. Formalizing this partnership gives students real-life exposure to current local government planning issues and provides our staff with fresh, innovative ideas to explore in regional development."
The students are based in UFV's Geography and the Environment program, which has a strong focus on experiential and field-based learning.

UPDATE (1/3/14): The Northwest Fire Protection District believes a malfunctioning appliance is to blame for the fire. However, the cause of the blaze remains under investigation. The home suffered an estimated $75,000 in damage. A donation drive has been set up at Park Hill Lanes in Loves Park.
ROCKFORD - A local family is out of a home after an early morning fire.
It happened just after midnight at 3018 Vinton AVenue. Around a dozen fire departments were called to battle the blaze. At first, they thought they put out the fire. But, were called back to the scene after it rekindled.
The family of five escaped the home and is being assisted by the American Red Cross. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Synthetic Biology: Future Tech
Basically 8 year old kids are replicating the greatest scientific achievements in the last 5 years.
People are using "bioblocks", that is computer code that contains the information for specific gene sequences, and mashing them together to create different properties in bacteria... (glow in the dark etc)
Massive implications for the future.
Imagine using bioblocks to make your kid enjoy studying more, make people enjoy fighting, killing, hugging etc.
Could it mean an awesome future? or the end of the human race? maybe the next step of evolution into something altogether different....
Its kind of like fast forwarding evolution but with a choice rather than a forced selection.
what do you think?

I'm as much nurture as I am nature. Even the most docile, non violent, nicest people can be corrupted. As weird as it sounds in a thread about changing genes you can't change human nature.
When we can I don't even know if I want to be around for it. Might have some utopian society where those who want to cling to their emotions and humanity dwell in the sewers while those on the surface go to fine dining at Taco Bell. Then this murderer and Cop get unfrozen from the past, but the murderer has been programmed with deadly skills that tops even modern law enforcement which is just a joke at this point.

its gonna happen....
Weird i feel like i heard that happen before....
but yea i guess what they are saying is that human nature is actually changeable. because its genetic and by messing with the genes we can come up with different results. Combine that with cyborg or mechanical assist technology and we are going to have a crazy future.
sounds expensive though i better get saving.

Its all much more complicated by the fact that any particular protein in the human body might do 8 different things depending on the combination it makes with other cells. So if you eradicate the code for one particular protein, you might be eradicating 5 other things that are necessary for life that that protein gets involved in.
The human genetic code is an absolute mess. Even worse than IE 6.

Agreed. Debugging DNA is would be herculean task.
"As weird as it sounds in a thread about changing genes you can't change human nature. "
You should read some of the history of human DNA, its fascinating.
Several times a piece that coded for brain growth got accidentally duplicated, and lead to a much smarter new ape.. Or a protein coding for muscle density flipped to a configuration that made our jaw muscles smaller, allowing a arger cranium, or.. on and on.
Similar things happened in the deep past, where the entire DNA strand got doubled in length through some glitch, instantly hugely increasing its information capacity.
The complexity, elegance and extreme messiness of DNA is breath-taking considering the average persons genome is smaller than a typical digital camera JPEG image of that person.
Theres a pub in my town where Watson and Crick announced the helical nature of the DNA molecule. Does a good stout. Dont drink it near a waterfall though your body will collapse into the water and form the basis for life or some fucking shit that doesnt make sense.

yea im not sure they could ever exert a specific control over emotions, but im sure they could definetly lay the groundwork in for eugenics etc...
Would be interesting to see a society created with a high amount of mdma being released naturally into their bodies as they lived. would be awesome to see. imagine engineering humans to release serotonin at a higher rate... or to produce more etc would be crazy!
Or glow in the dark people. I would settle for that.

Okay, I know some folks are not too enthralled about the sleeping arrangements, here are the latest details from Christine the landlord:-
Glad to hear you recieved the details.
One week will be £900.
You will see there are 6 beds,but 3 are doubles, if its not acceptable to share a bed I could provide 2 single beds in the dining room, maybe a mattress in the lounge if needed.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards Christine
This could get us to 9 beds if we need that many.

Raised Beds for Early Gardening
There are advantages to gardening in raised beds. You use space, nutrients and water more efficiently than you would in an un-raised garden. Soil drainage is better. And because you keep your feet away from the plants, the soil around them doesn't compact as quickly or severely as on flat ground.
For me though, the best argument for raised beds is you can garden early in them. That's why I suggest that serious gardeners make a few of them for early crops as soon as we get a few dry days in succession.
The big advantage of making beds in early February is they have a month or more to dry and warm a bit before planting. If that assertion sounds far-fetched, consider the shape of the beds and the fact you've loosened the soil as part of their preparation. Loose, elevated soil drains more easily than soil on flat ground and some of its pore space is available for the earliest warmer air to fill.
I like beds early in the season for another reason. Though the soil in them dries out enough not to be waterlogged, it doesn't get bone dry the way it often does in summer. Then it's frequently hard to irrigate beds without the water running off them.
Unless you're making a lot of them, raised beds are a job you can do by hand. You'll need a shovel, 4 stakes, twine and a rake.
Decide where you want to put your beds and clear that area of tall grass, rocks and debris. Now mark off your first bed with the stakes and twine. It will be 4 feet wide by whatever length you choose. Begin digging from the center, working out to the edges. Don't make too much of a chore out of the digging; a shovel blade's depth is enough. As you turn over ground, pull out clods, sticks and rocks.
When you've finished the digging and pulling, you'll have a long, peaked mound that will need to be raked smooth at about a 6-inch height. Before smoothing though, you should mix in some composted manure or other organic material to improve soil structure.
Finally, add a light sprinkling of complete fertilizer. The width of your finished bed will be about 3 feet across the top and 4 feet across the bottom.
If you're making several beds, allow about 2 feet between them. That should give you room to weed, thin, fertilize, water and harvest your crops.
Though some gardeners frame their beds with timbers, cinder blocks or other materials to create a neater look and to keep soil from sloughing off, I don't recommend that practice for early beds. Framing interferes with sunlight hitting the sides of the beds and slows warming.
Assuming you've made your beds by early February, I'd suggest another step that will help them warm faster. Cover them with a sheet of clear plastic mulch. The mulch doesn't have to be flush to the soil. In fact, if there's an air pocket, all the better.
During the day, the plastic will admit solar radiation that warms the soil. At night, that same plastic slows the escape of heat from the soil. I leave the plastic over the beds even after I've planted and keep it there until the seed has sprouted.
Wondering what to plant in your early beds? I'd suggest peas, spinach and parsley in March. In April, seed beets, carrots, chard, lettuce and other greens and set out cabbage family plants.
Though some local gardeners plant peas on Washington's birthday, they rarely come out ahead of neighbors who plant several weeks later. Still, if you want to give February peas a try, plastic covered raised beds should help.

Thanks to the large amount of auto insurance options available out there, cheap insurance is not so difficult to find as it could be. Here are a few things to look into while on the quest for cheap car insurance in Douglas County, NE.
Search for Lower Rates
There has been a great proliferation of car insurance companies in recent years, and no shortage of places to find a better insurance rate. Friends and family may be the best source of information on the best insurance deals possible. There is also the traditional phone book or the relatively new means of searching the Internet. It's best to get at least three different quotes before making a decision. These quotes should be compared not only for cost but for the details of coverage.
One of the best places to begin the search is with a company currently being patronized for other insurance needs, like homeowner's insurance. Anyone in this situation may well qualify for a multiple policy discount.
Gather Information about the Ideal Policy
The key to getting the best insurance premiums is research – knowledge. Getting educated about car insurance will go a long way toward affordable prices.
Keep these in mind when looking for auto insurance:
Look for Discounts
In the process of comparing companies and their rates in the search for cheaper car insurance, remember that many insurance providers also offer discounts. These are the best way to save money since they cut prices without cutting coverage. Many insurance companies will provide discounts for completing driving courses, for being a good student, for having a clean driving record, or for having certain vehicle safety or anti-theft devices installed in the vehicle.
Another way to lower the price of the premium is to raise any deductibles. This alone can cut the premiums a great deal. Remember, however, that the deductible must be paid out of pocket in the event of an accident.
Get the Right Coverage
No matter what the price, it is not worth it to sacrifice adequate coverage for additional savings. A lack of proper coverage can cost more money than it will ever save, should an accident occur.
One area that might be able to suffer cuts is collision and other-than-collision coverage, or physical damage insurance. An older vehicle that is not even worth the insurance money being paid out could well forgo such coverage altogether.
Be Careful Out There
A clean driving record is probably the best way to find good insurance rates easily. Careful drivers are less of a risk, and therefore less of a potential cost to insurers. Keeping out of accidents and avoiding citations will always lower auto insurance premiums.

So, Molyjam encouraged me to dust off some old games that I started and never finished.
Originally I was calling it "Super Mean Gene Okerlund Bros", but that's just asking for a trademark infringement notice. The game is mostly centered around a platforming wrestling interviewer who has to get the studio before the current match finishes.
Anyone have any ideas for names?
I was toying with "Pro Wrestling Gaiden" but, despite being completely accurate, I'm afraid it'll appear to the uninitiated to be a wrestling game.

Marysville Speed n' CustomRead MoreIf you look at the customization work Marysville Speed n' Custom regularly performs, from refurbishing a 1955 Chevy to installing Lamborghini doors on a 2002 Nissan Skyline, you probably wouldn't think the shop's crews spend much time with your average family station wagon. Fortunately for those families, they actually pay as much attention to regular cars as they do to custom cars, giving the vehicles routine maintenance and repair jobs or adding a bit of exotic-car glamor with window tinting. The staff can add other modifications, too, such as custom exhaust systems and horns that play the entirety of Beethoven's Symphony no. 6 in F Major.18824 Smokey Point Blvd.Arlington, WA US

WEST POINT – Coach Jamie Mitchell knows his Starkville club missed out on several opportunities Friday night in a 33-12 loss to rival West Point.
From Staff Reports
MADDEN – The Starkville Academy Volunteers were able to improve their record to 4-0 in a big way by defeating Leake Academy 42-14 Friday night.
By DANNY P. SMITH
CRAWFORD – The East Oktibbeha Titans knew what they were capable of doing on offense.
For six quarters, it just wasn't happening.
CALEDONIA – The East Webster Wolverines found out that the Caledonia Confederates had a rude welcoming planned for its game in Lowndes County Friday night.
ACKERMAN – On the night Ackerman celebrated its homecoming festivities, the Houston Hilltoppers ensured the Indians didn't get the opportunity to enjoy a win as well.
MABEN – Lazerick Davis and Vandy Smith, make room in the Eupora backfield. Javoris Draine is ready to carry the football, too.
Starkville High School football coach Jamie Mitchell understands the importance of tonight's game at West Point.
From the outside looking in, it's easy to see the early-season success of the Starkville Academy Volunteers.
The Starkville Academy Junior Volunteers scored 12 points without the offense even seeing the field Thursday night.
It has been a pretty good week for the Starkville Academy girls soccer team.

It is not necessary to pass a new law after every freak accident
To The Daily Sun,
Yes, it was a tragedy that an instructor was killed when a young girl tried to fire an Uzi full auto. Terrible thing. But do we have to pass a law after every freak accident?
I know liberals live by the credo that no tragedy should be wasted, but unless there has been a rash of such incidents recently I think it should be regarded as what it was, a freak accident. It is something that an adjustment in training practices and procedures can correct without getting the government involved in another unnecessary intrusion into the rights of people.

Thank you to voters that wrote my name on the ballot on Tuesday
To The Daily Sun,
I want to thank Laconia voters for taking the time to write my name in on the ballot on Tuesday.
Laconia has an impressive slate of candidates for both the Statehouse — Beth Arsenault, Mo Baxley, Tom Dawson, David Huot, and now myself — and for county commissioner, with Dave Pollak.
I urge the voters to take time to familiarize themselves with the issues in this election and come out to get to know all our candidates.

How many Republicans does it take to change a lightbulb?
To The Daily Sun,
It has been a long hot summer. Many letters have been written by the right-wingers, who were questioned by those who lean to the left and have never been answered. Those of us who are leaning left, should thank Mr. Veverka and Mr. Valengavich, Mr. Hoyt and others for holding the right-wingers' feet to the fire. It is apparent that to this point,they have no answers for their horse pasture letters that at this time of year are hot off the press.
I would like to address a letter written by Mr. George Dengal, which appeared on Wednesday, Sept. 3, regarding the strategy of President Obama against ISIS. Mr. Dengal, do you remember when the president notified the country the pull-out date of troops from Afghanistan and Iraq? The Lakes Region right-wingers and the rest of the country went ballistic. The talking point was that now that they know the date of the end of operations, they can just wait us out.
The military family has a SOP (standard operating procedure) that comes under the title, Need To Know. You and I are not on any Need To Know list, nor is any one else that has no need to know. I am sure you have been informed by now of what the strategy is.
I would like to know where you got his grade school records indicating that he was a practicing Muslim.
My last request from you is what information do you have that ISIS will attack us, and when they do, the president should be impeached. What makes you feel this will happen in the next two years? Thanks for your prompt response in advance.
The next letter written by Mr.Greg Hill on Sept. 3 is about "vote for me." I will pass the right-to-work law, creating good jobs, good wages, and good sense. I want to repeat a past statement which is: the old are moving in, the young are moving out. The last time I checked Mr. Hill, New Hampshire was the seventh richest state and has the lowest minimum wage in New England of $7.25 per hour. I heard on a past Sunday program on Channel 9 there were good-paying jobs in Lakes Region, however no qualified workers. The Laconia Daily Sun has jobs listed every day. I guess at some point some one will ask what kind of jobs you will create? Where are they located and will you have anyone to do them?
It has gotten so that when I read letters of hate and discontent, I wonder who are these folks? I visualize a person sweating profusely frothing at the mouth while writing a letter to the editor. When they finally stand up they are soaked from head to toe and appear to have lost all control of body functions.
My next letter I will take back a statement I made and again discuss a fellow who used to walk around Hill with a sign saying "Vote For Herman Cain".
Does anyone know how many Republicans it takes to change a light bulb? None. They just set in the dark and blame President Obama.

13th Annual Multiculural Festival on Saturday was awesome!
To The Daily Sun,
The 13th Annual Multicultural Festival held last Saturday was awesome! It started off with a bang — some 50 people carrying flags from around the world, led by the Laconia Police, accompanied by a group from Up With People, entered Rotary Park with patriotic music playing in the background! Then the huge cast from Up With People put on an amazing, energetic performance. And that was just the beginning! Truly, it was just an incredible festival.
It was a beautiful day to smell the aromas of so many international foods from our vendors and to see the smiles on the faces of thousands of people attending this signature downtown event.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our many, wonderful volunteers, most of whom began work on the Festival back in January. A huge thank you goes out to Kathy James, Mary Jane Hoey, Muff Walker, Deb Frawley Drake, Umija Gusinac, Arlene & Jim Fortier, Bob Harrington, David Stamps, Matt Souza, Janet Simmons, Len Campbell, Carol Pierce, Larry Frates, Elaine Morrison, Rosemary & Larry Murphy. We so appreciate Bob Luther & Wayne Sanborn for all their work with electrical and sound production. A special thank you to our volunteers that pitched in on festival day: Jane MacDonald, Molly Holman, Jack & Diane Terrill, Peter & Becky Wright, Amy Brown, John Walker, Dick Smith, Don Forsberg & John Gaydos. We are so thankful to Bob Luther & Wayne Sanborn for all their work with electrical and sound production. These people all worked tirelessly behind the scenes making sure everything ran smoothly. To the Belknap County House of Corrections that provided the "muscle" for setting up tables, barricades and tents & then assisting with the cleanup — a HUGE thank you, we couldn't have done it without this help!
The Laconia Human Relations Committee, Laconia Main Street & the Belknap Mill join together to sponsor this community celebration. It is the hard work & support of many people, organizations, businesses and agencies in Laconia and the Lakes Region that lay the foundation for this great celebration of culture. We are proud to honor and thank them. Our enormous gratitude goes out to our major sponsors: Bank of NH, Northway Bank, The Penny Pitou-Milo Pike Fund of the NH Charitable Foundation, Genesis Behavioral Health, Well Sense Health Plan, and Lutheran Social Services. We so appreciate you!
Special thanks are given to the Greek Orthodox Church & the Belknap Mill for use of their tables, Healthlink for allowing us use of their electricity and parking lot, and the City of Laconia: Police Department, Sharon Papart & the "girls at the Finance Department and Paul Moynihan at Public Works, Scott Myers & Mayor Ed Engler. Byron's Septic Services and Waste Management provided those "necessary items" needed for our outdoor festival! Thanks go out to Heather Dominick of Dominick Designs of Alton for creating our beautiful posters and to Body Covers for our great volunteer aprons. Beth San Soucie, we so appreciate all your help at the Mill. And we so appreciate the press coverage provided by the Laconia Daily Sun, Laconia Citizen and the many other news media throughout the state, including LRPA.
Congratulations to all our raffle prize winners and our sincere thanks to our prize contributors: Cactus Jacks/T-bones, Dairy Queen, Fratello's Restaurant, Hair Affair, Our Place Family Restaurant, Sawyers Dairy Bar, Country Cookin' at Lakeside, Shang Hai Restaurant, Prescott's Florists and especially Meadowbrook for the grand prize of 2 tickets.
To produce an event like this requires substantial funding. The Multicultural Festival recognizes with gratitude our program advertisers: Christopher Williams Architects, McLaughlin Law Office, Pike Industries, Travel Health, Community Action Programs, Laconia Kiwanis, China Bistro, Water Street Café, Melcher & Prescott, NAPA Auto Care, Patrick's Pub, Bob Merwin State Farm Insurance, Sunflower Natural Foods, Andrew Hosmer, Martin, Lord & Osman P.A., Belknap Tire, Computer Magic, Stafford Oil, Laurent Overhead Doors, Meredith Village Savings Bank, Lahey Law, Decorative Interiors, Laconia Bicycle Exchange, Water Street Café, Unitarian Universalists, Wedbush, R-F-S Engineering, Misiaszek Turpin, Debbie Cotton, Temple B'nai Israel, Irwin Motors, & Franklin Savings Bank. And to our many patrons and supporters of this wonderful event — our heartfelt thanks for your donations.
To all our wonderful performers at Rotary Park & The Children's Corner stage — thank you so much. There wouldn't be a festival without our great vendors and social service agencies. Thank you all for participating. And lastly & just as important — to all of you that attended, we hope you enjoyed the day and we so appreciate your continued support and encouragement of the Laconia Multicultural Festival. Mark your calendars for next year's date of September 12th! Again, thank you Lakes Region! Follow us on Facebook and check our our new website: laconiamulticulturalfestival.org for some great photos!

Here are names of winners of Belmont Football ATV Raffle
To the Laconia Sun,
Friends of Belmont Football would like to thank the community for a very successful annual ATV raffle fundraiser.
Without the support of individuals and businesses, our Belmont athletes who are currently contributing at the junior varsity football level in Gilford would be in great need of additional financial support. We can't thank you enough.
Here are the winners: First prize: Polaris 4-wheeler ATV, Paul Davis, Canton, Mass. This gentleman was so excited. He could not believe that he won. He said that he never wins anything and was just so excited. Second prize: $250, Laurie Harte, Warner. Third prize, $100, Sean Embree, Belmont. Fourth prize, $50, James Dearborn, Laconia. All winners were very happy to support these athletes.
We would like to thank HK Powersports and Tammy for working with us on this promotion and helping us purchase the ATV.
Special thanks goes to area businesses who acted as ticket agents and/or displayed banners, counter displays, posters, etc., and let us display the 4-wheeler outside their businesses to attract raffle sales: D&D Market, Brookside Pizza ll, Belmont, Winnesquam Market and Deli, Airport Country Store, Gilford, Belmont Village Store.
This fundraiser was, by far, our greatest success. We are nearing one year of fundraising and will be looking forward to our Christmas tree sale this coming season around Thanksgiving. We hope to see you there, and thanks again for all of your support.
Friends of Belmont Football

Any ETA for gt650m linux support
I am currently thinking about getting a new laptop with a gt650m card. I was wondering if there is a timeline for linux support with this card. The current drivers support cards up to a 635m, but from what I have seen the 650m is quite a different beast.
Re: Any ETA for gt650m linux support
I have a 670m which doesn't appear to work. I've tried both 295.53 and 302.07.
I'd love to be able to use my new laptop, it's not a useful as paperweight.
Re: Any ETA for gt650m linux support
Waiting for the 660m here...

Quality is obvious By Bill on 6/16/2015Bill would recommend this product to a friendhave not installed yet, but quality of product is evident.
Great Product and Performance By Dylan on 7/31/2014Dylan would recommend this product to a friendI bought the 8x8x4 after seeing a video online of scientists using the spheres in a lab. I put it in my sump while my tank was cycling and my ammonia went down very quickly and I have not measured nitrate in my tank since. This material is very porous, and I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to use a lot of rock in their display tank.
Bio pellet, plate review By Daniel on 7/18/2013Daniel would recommend this product to a friendThe bio-plate is so soft! I was able to easily shape the plate and have put it in the top tray of my canister filter. Day one of this little experiment, no noticeable reduction in flow so far. Very cool product..
Five stars on first impression and ease of use...
Great product By Robert on 3/15/2012Robert would recommend this product to a friendThis product is extremely light in weight and porous. When rinsed no water collects on the top of the pad or runs off the side.
Performance By Robert on 10/31/2011Robert would recommend this product to a friendAlong with using the Marine Pure Spheres, I put two of these on the bottom of the sump to support the egg create. Keeping these two submerged has dropped my nitrates to a safer range. All together, the system has 168,400 square feet of Ceramic Biomedia.

I have an application that reads large files from a server and hangs frequently on a particular machine. It has worked successfully under RHEL5.2 for a long time. We have recently upgraded to RHEL6.1 and it now hangs regularly.
I have created a test app that reproduces the problem. It hangs approx 98 times out of 100.
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
int mFD = 0;
void open_socket()
struct addrinfo hints, *res;
memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
hints.ai_family = AF_INET;
if (getaddrinfo("localhost", "60000", &hints, &res) != 0)
fprintf(stderr, "Exit %d\n", __LINE__);
mFD = socket(res->ai_family, res->ai_socktype, res->ai_protocol);
if (mFD == -1)
fprintf(stderr, "Exit %d\n", __LINE__);
if (connect(mFD, res->ai_addr, res->ai_addrlen) < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "Exit %d\n", __LINE__);
void read_message(int size, void* data)
int bytesLeft = size;
int numRd = 0;
while (bytesLeft != 0)
fprintf(stderr, "reading %d bytes\n", bytesLeft);
/* Replacing MSG_WAITALL with 0 works fine */
int num = recv(mFD, data, bytesLeft, MSG_WAITALL);
if (num == 0)
else if (num < 0 && errno != EINTR)
fprintf(stderr, "Exit %d\n", __LINE__);
else if (num > 0)
numRd += num;
data += num;
bytesLeft -= num;
fprintf(stderr, "read %d bytes - remaining = %d\n", num, bytesLeft);
fprintf(stderr, "read total of %d bytes\n", numRd);
int main(int argc, char **argv)
uint32_t raw_len = atoi(argv[1]);
char raw[raw_len];
read_message(raw_len, raw);
return 0;
Some notes from my testing:
- If "localhost" maps to the loopback address 127.0.0.1, the app hangs on the call to recv() and NEVER returns.
- If "localhost" maps to the ip of the machine, thus routing the packets via the ethernet interface, the app completes successfully.
- When I experience a hang, the server sends a "TCP Window Full" message, and the client responds with a "TCP ZeroWindow" message (see image and attached tcpdump capture). From this point, it hangs forever with the server sending keep-alives and the client sending ZeroWindow messages. The client never seems to expand its window, allowing the transfer to complete.
- During the hang, if I examine the output of "netstat -a", there is data in the servers send queue but the clients receive queue is empty.
- If I remove the MSG_WAITALL flag from the recv() call, the app completes successfully.
- The hanging issue only arises using the loopback interface on 1 particular machine. I suspect this may all be related to timing dependencies.
- As I drop the size of the 'file', the likelihood of the hang occurring is reduced
The source for the test app can be found here:
The tcpdump capture from the loopback interface can be found here:
I reproduce the issue by issuing the following commands:
> gcc socket_test.c -o socket_test
> perl -e 'for (1..6000000){ print "a" }' | nc -l 60000
> ./socket_test 6000000
This sees 6000000 bytes sent to the test app which tries to read the data using a single call to recv().
I would love to hear any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong or any further ways to debug the issue.

At Thursday's regular meeting, the Jay Township Board of Supervisors urged the township's Water Authority to conduct a "feasibility study" regarding the possibility of the township obtaining its water through the City of St. Marys. Supervisors argued that doing so would likely come at a lesser cost than that of maintaining the township's water treatment plant.
This development comes on the heels of recent discussion of the board's reluctance to back $300,000 in loans for the township's water authority to be used in upgrading its water treatment plant.
Although no action was taken on a request made to St. Marys City Council to eliminate on-street parking from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. for the summer months, the request sparked a discussion among board members.
Several members of council, including City Manager Dave Greene, received the request from a resident at 551 Charles St. He stated his children are home during the summer and there is not enough room for all the vehicles in his driveway. Because of this, they often park on the street overnight and are ticketed.
Summer is officially under way in St. Marys, and high temperatures have been drawing crowds to the St. Marys Community Pool throughout the week.
According to Greg Snelick, pool manager, by 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon 400 people had come through the doors. The pool opens at 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"In comparison, yesterday (Wednesday), we had close to 700 people come through [total], but in the first hour and a half, at 2:30 p.m., we had 380 people, which is quite a big number," Snelick said.
Snelick added that on Tuesday, there were also 400 people at the pool by 2 p.m.
What began as a dream seven years ago has turned into the biggest summer tourist attraction in Kane.
The sixth annual Art in the Wilds Juried Fine Arts Show will be held Saturday and Sunday at Evergreen Park. The show runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
Admission and parking are free.
Between 4,000 and 5,000 visitors are expected during the two-day show, according to founder and director Marilyn Blackmore.
Summer usually signifies lots of picnics, parties and other outdoor events, with most featuring all kinds of delicious food and drinks. To ensure that partygoers will enjoy the feast safely, there are a few important steps people should take when shopping for, preparing, storing and serving their summer dishes.
Rick Kralj, food safety and quality extension educator with Penn State Extension's Brookville office, offered some key pieces of advice for food safety in the summertime:
1. Avoid "time-temperature abuse."

To let my professionalism, integrity, and positive attitude shine through and impress you during one of the most important times of your life The sale or purchase of your home.
A match made in heaven, my husband, a general contractor, and myself have been deeply entrenched in all aspects of real estate purchasing, remodeling, and sales for over 20 years. Through completing many local projects I have become very familiar with the more intricate details of buying and selling homes. My commitment to continually learning the business led me to pursue my brokers license in 1993. In 2002 I aligned myself with the #1 office on the Monterey Peninsula, Coldwell Banker, and have been successfully achieving new heights in my career ever since. My intimate knowledge of this industry and beautiful area will become evident as we begin to work together on the sale or purchase of your next home.
Reaching for and achieving new goals keeps me motivated to surpass the expectations of others as well as myself! No one said the eternal quest for excellence would be easy! While I believe that it is the smaller, daily goals, that keep us moving forward in life, I am cannot deny that my greatest achievements have been; Maintaining a loving marriage of 33 years, raising two boys, and developing a successful professional career. As a member of Coldwell Banker my drive for excellence is evidenced by successfully reaching my goals of becoming a Previews International qualified agent as well as reaching the top producers awards for the Presidents Circle and Presidents Elite clubs. Currently, ranked in the top 4% of all CB agents, I am working towards the top 1% this year!
