The holiday season is typically the time of year when people are feeling generous and in the giving spirit, but some Lexington charities say that's not the case this year.
Several charities across the city say they have received little or no donations this year.
Angel trees can be found all across Lexington, but for the CASA Angel Tree, there are still many children left without a sponsor.
Debra King, Director of CASA, says it's been a slow response. CASA has 87 children on the tree, and only 27 have been taken. In the past, she says, all children have gotten sponsors within the first week.
Other charities across Lexington are also seeing a dip in donations, including the Lexington Firefighter Toy Drive.
More than three-thousand kids have signed up to receive toys in the annual toy drive, which is twice the usual number.
The drive was actually cancelled earlier this year, but was brought back after the community stepped up to help.
Now, they say they are lacking in donations, especially in books, games, and puzzles, and girl toys.
Chuck Gumm with the Lexington Fire Department says while they are thankful for the gifts they do have, they still need more.
If you'd like to donate to the toy drive, you can drop off toys at any Lexington fire station, or the building that used to be Champs Roller Rink on Palumbo Drive until December 15th. Any and all toys that are new or gently used will be gladly accepted.
You can adopt a child from the CASA Angel Tree at Crowne Plaza until December 13th.
God's Pantry in Lexington is also in need of monetary and food donations. All food donations to God's Pantry can also be given at all local Kroger locations in Lexington.

New look carries Knoch past Indiana
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Knoch debuted a new scoreboard for the first time in 30 years Friday night. The Knights also flipped a new switch on the offense.
Senior running back Ben Tackett spent much of the night playing wildcat quarterback and led the No. 9 Knights to a 20-14, playoff-clinching victory over Indiana at Knoch Knights Stadium.
Trading handoffs for direct snaps much of the game, Tackett rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. He also threw a touchdown pass for Knoch (6-2, 5-2 Greater Allegheny Conference) before a hefty Senior Night crowd.
"Ben can make things happen for us," coach Mike King said. "As you saw tonight, not only is he a great runner, but he can throw, too."
Tackett, who topped the 1,000-yard rushing mark, said the wildcat has been a work in progress this season, and the plan was to use it more Friday.
"It's a whole new glitch," he said. "It's a headache for the defense to prepare for. It's great that my teammates have the faith in me to put the ball in my hands."
Quarterback Dakota Bruggeman lined up wide and ran under one of Tackett's two pass attempts on the first play of the fourth. The ball landed softly in his hands, and the play went for a 56-yard touchdown down the near sideline to put Knoch ahead 20-7.
"He put the ball on the money," Bruggeman said.
Indiana (2-6, 2-5) answered behind receiver Darrious Carter, who picked up 14 yards on fourth-and-11 at midfield and then snagged a pass across the middle and broke free for a 36-yard score to get the Indians within 20-14 with 8:25 left.
Carter was sensational, catching seven passes for 130 yards. Indians quarterback Sean Thompson threw 30 times, completing 11.
Knoch, despite penalties that gave pass-happy Indiana more chances, held on.
"Indiana is one of the best 2-6 teams I have seen," King said. "I was happy with the way our defense played, but we know we have to look more like a playoff-winning caliber team. Sometimes you don't always play your best but get the win."
Knoch opened the scoring when Tackett, lining up in the wildcat on back-to-back plays, took a direct snap and raced 45 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was blocked.
Tackett fumbled on a punt return, and Indiana's Thomas Kanyarusoke recovered with 7:34 left in the second quarter.
A play later, Thompson, playing for injured starter Dequan West, maneuvered his way through the middle of the line for a 22-yard scoring run to give the Indians a 7-6 lead.
Both teams fumbled three times in the first half, losing two each. Also in the second quarter, Bruggeman caught a tipped pass for an interception and returned it 72 yards for a touchdown, but a hold negated the score.
Knoch took the second-half kickoff and drove 75 yards in 11 plays, including nine runs by Tackett, who scored from 4 yards. Tight end Luke Kroneberg snared a two-point pass from Bruggeman to make it 14-7.

Only lost that quarter by four. That last stretch of the first half really seems like it did us in. Nice to see a little fight.

Would have been nice to see it again, but the Heat seem to be limited on the amount of replays they can show for some reason.
You would think players would have learned from Reggie Miller's mistake by now.
The refs have been equal opportunity screwers tonight. I just wanted to be on record saying that.
Good run to close the 3rd. Let's make them sweat a bit!

Odd how this all pans out.
Originally, Will Arnett from Arrested Development was set to play the voice of KITT for the upcoming Knight Rider movie. However, Arnett has also lent his talents to General Motors — as the voice of GMC Trucks. Well, the new solar/hybird KITT is a Ford Mustang — and once GM heard Arnett was the soul behind the metal, they got all discombobulated and asked him to step off. Enter Val Kilmer. Yes, that Val Kilmer.
Frankly, I couldn't be happier with this choice? Why — well one, I dig Val Kilmer. Not only does he have a treehouse, but he's also planning an eco-village and his own organic foods empire. Might as well throw in voicing the coolest talking car on the planet. (Sorry, Herbie)
Kilmer's got his work cut out for him. Knight Rider premieres on NBC on February 17th.

|Hand-rim Forces and Gross Mechanical Efficiency at Various Frequencies of Wheelchair Propulsion.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22918717 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|To determine the effects of push frequency changes on force application, fraction of effective force (FEF) and gross efficiency (GE) during hand-rim propulsion. 8 male able-bodied participants performed five 4-min sub-maximal exercise bouts at 1.8 m·s - 1; the freely chosen frequency (FCF), followed by 4 counter-balanced trials at 60, 80, 120 and 140% FCF. Kinetic data was obtained using a SMARTWheel, measuring forces and moments. The GE was determined as the ratio of external work done and the total energy expended. Increased push frequency led to reductions in peak resultant force (P<0.05), ranging from 167 to 117 N and peak tangential force (P<0.05), ranging from 117 to 77 N. However, FEF only demonstrated a significant difference between 60% and 140% FCF (69±9% and 63±7, respectively; P<0.05). Work per cycle decreased significantly (P<0.05) and rate of force development increased significantly (P<0.05) with increased push frequency. GE values were significantly lower at 60%, 120% and 140% FCF than 80% and 100% FCF (P<0.05). No meaningful associations were present between FEF and GE. Under the current testing conditions, changes in push frequency are accompanied with changes in the absolute force values, albeit without changes in either the gross pattern/trend of force application or FEF. Changes in GE are not explained by different levels of force effectiveness.

I'm not sure if it looks nice or not, maybe I have to see it myself. But why an old sensor (although not bad) and why the D600 AF? The D600 sensor with D800 AF would have made more sense.
TrapperJohn: Looks nice, but it also looks like a standard large, fat DSLR with a retro body. I'd love to dig my old F3 out and use it with a digital back (now there's an idea) but this doesn't really advance the state of the art any.
Is Nikon missing the point? The Oly EM5 wasn't successful because it looked like an OM1. It was successful because it was smaller, quite a bit smaller, and so are the lenses. It may look old, but it's packed with new ideas. And it's the new, interesting approach that makes it appealing, especially the lack of bulk that makes using it less of a chore and more, well, fun.
Look at the Canon 100D, it can be D7100 size
praktinafan: I still use the boxed version of Aperture (comes on a DVD) and so I can not upgrade to 3.5. This update only works with an AppStore license! Bummer
It is possible: change the language to English and restart. After that you can update.
It's too small. I would like to have space for a jacket/sweater and some food as well

|After the 2013, San Francisco doesn't plan to return to Candlestick Park. (US Presswire)
It sounds like the 49ers might have only two years left to play in Candlestick Park. As Bloomberg reports, the city council of Santa Clara, Ca., on Tuesday night approved 5-1 an $878.6 million contract that will allow a $1 billion stadium to be built.
With the NFL already approving a $200 million loan that will cover some building costs, construction is scheduled to begin in July, about six months early. This allows the 49ers to leave Candlestick a season earlier than originally expected.
According to NBC Bay Area, the construction must be completed by August 2014, and if not, the builder, Turner-Devcon, will owe millions of dollars in fines (as in $6 million per home game missed).
All of which is great news for the 49ers, who have played in Candlestick for the past five decades.
Plus, it's totally good news for those who like to watch their NFL football with the lights turned on.

Helene Sachs Downey '49 is the recipient of the 2014 Mother Xavier Award for her steadfast leadership in the alumni association and her creative methods for raising funds for student scholarships.
Founders Day is celebrated each year as a reminder of the vision, courage, and faith of the College's foundress Mother Xavier Mehegan (1825-1915), who also founded the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth in 1859.
At a time when a college education seemed an unrealistic hope for all but a few women, Mother Xavier, along with Sister Mary Pauline Kelligar, the College's first president, and other determined Sisters, bravely asserted that the day for providing higher education for all women had come. In 1899, with a student body of six, the College of Saint Elizabeth was officially approved as an institution of higher education for women.
The highlight of Founders Day is the presentation of the Mother Xavier Award, the most prestigious award given to a graduate. We also recall all those who form the cornerstone and foundation of the Sisters of Charity and the College of Saint Elizabeth.

Also returning this year, Dan Kaplan will offer "Up Close and Personal With Dan Kaplan," a 90-minute session limited to 100 attendees in which Kaplan will present his perspectives on rental equipment industry's history and future.
John McClelland, ARA vice president of government affairs, will present ARA Rental Market Metrics, a 90-minute session. He will also introduce Gary McArdle, who will discuss how Rouse Analytics benchmarking service has adopted ARA Rental Market Metrics.
Other seminars include identify theft prevention, hiring, social media, communication, customer service, business culture, succession planning, negotiating, and Web presence and search engine optimization. The rental town hall sessions will return, and the Show will feature round-table discussions February 8, including managing risk, family business and marketing strategies.
Full registration includes all educational opportunities.

Cops Make Revenge Armed Robbery, Now Facing Criminal Charges
In Washington D.C. and nationwide, many citizens blindly trust that local, state and federal police officers are following the law and following protocol to achieve justice. Unfortunately, police officers and other officials have been caught up in scandals and misconduct that can make anyone lose faith in the criminal justice system. From evidence tampering to drug trafficking and other illegal activities, police officers can be caught up in crimes, often without ever getting caught. In a recent case, "rogue cops" were arrested and charged with armed robbery. The case highlights the reality that having a badge doesn't necessarily make an officer the "good guy."
From investigations, through arrest and booking, and the criminal trial, navigating the justice system can be complex. Though we want to believe that police officers adhere to the Constitution, the law, and mandated protocols, this is not always the case. Our Washington D.C. criminal defense attorneys are experienced with all aspects of the criminal justice system. We know that every case demands a throughout investigation to protect your rights and to ensure a fair trial.
According to reports, two Detroit police officers robbed a group of men who allegedly stole a backpack and cell phone belonging to one of the officer's daughters. The teenage girl was riding her bike to a gas station when the officers claimed a man rushed her and took her bag. The officer's then traced the daughter's phone, where the officers arrived and confronted the alleged assailants gunpoint. After the officers retrieved the backpack, they struck one of the men in the face and stole a handgun, cash and marijuana. Now, the officers are now being charged with armed robbery, and failure to uphold the law. One of the officers will be charged with additional felonies. Officers will also face charges for willful neglect of duty and unlawful imprisonment.

Services for people with mental illness needs in Doña Ana County have suffered two blows during the month of August.
The first came when taxpayers voted down a gross receipts tax of 25 cents on a $100 purchase (excluding medicine and food) to provide permanent funding to support the operation of the already constructed Crisis Triage Center. This tax initiative would have helped people with mental illness who were taken into protective custody by law enforcement by diverting them from the County Detention Center into a facility that, during a 23-hour stay, would allow assessment and referral for treatment.
The second blow was the unexpected shutdown of New Mexico's behavioral health providers after an audit alleged that $36 million in fraud had been found. To fill the gap in service, companies from outside the state (e.g., La Frontera, Agave Health, Turquoise Health, Valle del Sol) were brought into New Mexico.
It is difficult to ascertain the truth about the need for the shutdown. Important questions have not been answered and audit results have not been shared with the public.
• Did a new computer program designed to detect Medicaid fraud sound alarms, as Senator Mary Kay Papen described in a recent Albuquerque Journal article (August 11, 2013)?
• Did Governor Martinez respond by hiring an outside auditor, Public Consulting Group, that has an alleged history of dubious audits, to investigate (Santa Fe New Mexican, Senator Linda Lopez, August 7, 2013)?
• Does the governor have the authority to request an out-of-state audit and circumvent the NM Auditor?
The League of Women Voters of Greater Las Cruces is very concerned about the current circumstances. Lack of adequate services prompted the League to undertake a two-year study (2008-2010) about mental health services in Doña Ana County.
A member consensus position adopted in 2010 supports: an adequately funded mental health care system that provides comprehensive services to the acutely, chronically, and seriously mentally ill of all ages; maintains optimal mental health services for all clients; offers mental health services for the homeless; seeks additional funds for preventive services; implements a master plan to integrate services; raises awareness of critical unmet needs; and emphasizes case management.
The audit referrals are currently in the hands of the NM Attorney General, and it may take as much as a year to complete the investigation. It is suggested that the NM examination will be more thorough than that completed by the Public Consulting Group. While that is ongoing, however, how are the clients who depend on the services now in the hands of outside organizations being served?
Until we have better, more accurate information, the League of Women Voters at the local and state levels will be monitoring the situation and take action as opportunity presents itself and the League's position allows.
Erika Graf-Webster is president of the League of Women Voters of Greater Las Cruces

Welcome from the President
In 1977, when the first stage of what would eventually become Columbia Gorge Community College (CGCC) was established as the Wasco Area Education Service District, few people, if any, could have imagined what was in store for us in the next 36 years.
Over that time, we evolved from a small rural education resource into a community college with a nationally recognized renewable energy technology program, a nursing program that is training our next generation of healthcare professionals, and a low-cost, local college option for the first two years of a four-year degree.

Don't Stop Calling: A Guide to Leading English Country Dances Classes for Older Adults
by Judy Chaves (CDSS, 2011)
One of our members, Judy Chaves, and her co-teacher, Val Medve, have been leading a weekly English dance class for residents at Wake Robin, a retirement community in Shelburne, VT for over six years. Judy and Val quickly realized that their long experience as English country dance teachers was only going to be partly applicable in this new venue and that they would need to develop new skills to teach those whose average age was 75. Not only dances, but also their goals, tempos, teaching styles, would have to be adapted. Now available in our Store.

Here we are, leaving Rock Island Tuesday on what turned out to be the second-rainiest day in Washington (and Rock Island) history.
It's been an annual tradition for nine years. But for the second year in a row, my friend and I nearly missed our chance to camp on Rock Island.
We began camping when our kids were so little, we often had to carry them from the ferry landing to the campsite, a million miles away. Now, those kids are teenagers and tweens.
Because each trip is unique, my friend and I have vivid memories of each one. Also, we've kept detailed camping journals, complete with sketches. ...

Ok… It is midterm report card time again…… Even though I am an Orioles' fan, I see more Tiger games than O's games due to geography. I have found this group to be entertaining and so let's take a look at the Tigers and objectively grade the individual performances for the first half of the season.
C- Gerald Laird – A- . I have to admit that when he was picked up by Dave Dombrowski, I was more than a little skeptical. Gerald has put the gear on every day and done a very good job for this team. His bat is not spectacular, but it seems like he has the ability to get a timely hit. He can move runners with the bunt, and he rarely makes mistakes running the bases. Although in an ideal world you would like to see your catcher with 10 or more homers at the break, Gerald has been ok. Now… his strongest suit is his ability to call a game and work with the pitchers. Excellent. I think Gerald has been a nice surprise and I think he has earned an A- for the first half.
1B – Miguel Cabrerra - A- . Miguel has very very very good first half numbers. He is hitting .321 with 18 homers. He has played a very solid first base defensively. He is an excellent player. Hopefully he can regain that torrid hitting stroke that he displayed the first two months of the season to finish in the .330 to .340 range with about 40 homers…. That is what will be needed for the Tigers to get past the first round of the playoffs.
2B – Placido Polanco – B- . Placido just hasn't found the groove so far this year. He still fields the position as well as anyone. He has only one error in 377 chances. That definitely pushes him into the B range… the offensive side of the equation though is not quite as good. Placido is only hitting .256. Not good. The only ray of positive has been the six home runs. I certainly hope Placido has a better second half at the plate.
SS – Adam Everitt – B- . Everitt has done ok. He has contributed some timely hits, and does a great job moving runners up via the sacrifice. Eight errors keeps him out of the A range, and even though he is still finding his way with the team, his contribution to the group would be enhanced if he could just get on base a little more often. A .318 on base percentage doesn't get it done.
3B – Brandon Inge – A . Period. This man has had a career year going since the opening day. His extra work with Lloyd McClendon is paying large dividends. Who would have ever dreamed that he would be hitting a very respectable .268 with 21 homers and 58 R.B.I.'s? Who would have ever dreamed that he would even be considered for the All Star team, even though he just slipped in? He has been excellent and even though he threw up a goose egg at the home run derby, he has been nothing short of a quality big league baseball player so far in 2009.
LF – Josh Anderson – B . Josh's 12 steals are a plus for a team that historically doesn't utilize speed historically. Josh has made the start in left 37 times. He has committed three errors. He has hit for an ok .250 average. But…. Josh needs to find a way to get on base more often. A paltry .282 on base percentage reminds us that it is great to steal bases, but it is impossible to steal first. Josh has been ok. With a little seasoning, he could end up being a contributor for a few years.
CF – Curtis Granderson – A-. Curtis has led off games, he has batted third, he has batted fourth, he has done everything the Jim Leyland has asked of him. He does a wonderful job in the field, specifically the catch he made to rob Grady Sizemore of the walk off home run will be one that I and many others will remember for a long time. He still strikes out a little too often (75 in 339 at bats, second to Inge), and he still struggles with the strike zone from time to time. My only real worry about Curtis is the triples thing. The last couple of years, he has been a triples machine. This year… drought. I realize that there is often more luck than skill involved in the triples category, but none the less the drop off is notable. Now that you think I have spent most of the evaluation on the negative side, let me say this, Curtis Granderson is the deal maker or deal breaker on this team. As he goes, so goes this team. Right now the Tigers are in first place, therefore, Curtis gets an A.
RF – Magglio Ordonez – C-. Has father time finally caught up with Magglio? Is he injured? He has not been a regular now for almost a month. He needs to get going, or he needs to go. I realize that is strong, but his experience and his salary demands that he provide more than he has provided so far. I have always enjoyed watching him play the game. Maybe a C- is a little generous, but maybe he can turn it around soon. I certainly hope so.
SP – Justin Verlander – A-. The only reason he doesn't have a straight A is because of the rough start to the season. He has been a leader in every sense. He has "fixed" whatever was wrong with him a year ago. His strikeout totals are impressive and the walks have not really been an issue. He has a better than 50/50 chance to win the game every time out. An All Star and the team's ace.
SP – Edwin Jackson – A . Has exceeded everyone's expectations by leaps and bounds. He is a gamer. He battles and knows how to pitch rather than just throw. An All Star, who has a very bright future. A good second half from Edwin, and the Tigers won't have to worry about the Twins or the White Sox.
SP – Rick Porcello – B+ . The youngest player in the American League. I know that some out there in cyber land will think this is a low grade for the rookie, but I don't think he gets the "A" because of his limited durability, his walks, and his recent outings where he was shakey. I am very impressed with his poise and mound presence. His eight wins are excellent, and the future bright.
SP – Armando Gallaraga – D+. At first glance maybe a D+ is too high. But…. You have to remember that last year he was brand new. We are still waiting to see if Armando can overcome the sophomore jinx. His last two outings prior to the All-Star break were very very good. As long as he can continue to work on it, his grade will continue to climb.
SP – Dontrelle Willis – F. Failure. Unable to right the ship, and is looking to go the way of Gary Sheffield. He seems like a likable fella, but bottom line is that he has not earned his pay check, and continues to be a mystery.
CL – Fernando Rodney – A- . Fernando has converted on all 19 save opportunities. That is 100% and usually that should be enough to get you the "A". However, when called upon in non-save opportunities, Fernando is nothing short of scary. I worry that he will not be able to keep up the pace and will cost the Tigers some key games here and there. One other observation on Fernando…. I like that he straightened his cap out this year. It makes him look more professional. Maybe that is just foolishness on my part, but I think his approach to the job, has changed from a year ago, and that is a plus.
Set Up – Joel Zumaya – B- . Joel has shown some flashes of spectacular in the first half. He has been clocked at speeds upwards of 103. His physical tools seem to have recovered. Now… if he can just somehow learn to focus and bring some consistency to the hill, he can be a major asset all the time, not just some of the time. He is entertaining to watch pitch, but it is sort of like watching a NASCAR race, you just know there is going to be a wreck, but you just aren't sure when and where.
RP – Bobby Seay – A- . Has been solid. He has expanded his role of situational lefty to staying in for a few right hand batters as well. He doesn't walk many, and Jim Leyland uses him in some tight spots.
RP – Brandon Lyon – C. I expected more from Lyon. He seems prone to giving up the home run, and he always seems to be pitching from behind in the count. Still, I believe that he can get it turned around, and will have a better second half.
RP – Zach Miner – B. Zach does a lot of positive things for the ball club and really doesn't get much credit. I think he does the dirty work. Long relief, spot starter, situational match up guy are all roles that he has filled this year. He is not flashy, but he usually gets the job done.
Everyone else gets an incomplete…. I do want to mention that I am growing more and more confident with Fu-Te Ni. I think he has the potential to contribute down the stretch in the right situations.
Coaching Staff - B+. Despite dropping the ball last year, this staff does a good job on a day to day basis. I realize that Jim Leyland is a lightening rod every time something doesn't pan out, but the bottom line is that Jim has the team in first place. What more can he be asked to do than lead the division at this point? The pitching consistency has greatly improved and that can be directly attributed to Rick Knapp. The offense has been pretty thin so far in the first half. Lloyd McClendon has done a great job turning Brandon Inge around, but the drop off in Polanco and Ordonez is troubling. Belliard and Van Slyke have the defense playing well. I believe a "B+" is deserved. The proof will be in the second half finish.

The weirdness stuck out to police in Davis County, Utah, who took pains to emphasize that their suspect is no relation to the late actor who spells his last name Reeve, reports the Davis Clipper. It caught the attention of the Smoking Gun, too: "Reeves also presumably is not related to George Reeves, who played Superman in the 1950s TV series Adventures of Superman. The 33-year-old got pulled over for driving erratically and is charged with meth possession and DUI. Christopher Reeves, in his police mugshot from Davis County, Utah.

I have 4 yards of this fabric that I'd hoped to turn into a shirt, but after laundering I've concluded that it's much too heavy for a shirt. I thought a jacket might be a good plan, but I'm concerned that it might look like a costume. I really like this fabric! Do you think I'll have to settle for a home dec project with it? What would you make with this light blue brocade?
How about a skirt? I bought a pink brocade a while back to make a pencil skirt similar to one I saw at J. Crew (I think...) for the Think Pink contest but never got around to it. I haven't gotten to it yet so unfortunately I can't show you how it turned out!
Would a jeans-style jacket work?
------"The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." --Abraham Lincoln
Depending on how scratchy/heavy the brocade pattern is, could you use it as a lining in a jacket?
I like the skirt idea as well. Also could do possibly a sheath style dress? Would all depend on how heavy the pattern is I would guess
------~Gem in the prairie
I'd go for a jacket. And, if I wanted it to look less 'something' I might play with some swatches to see if dyeing might change the color up to make it more 'something' else.
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
Wow! I love the coat Catherine is wearing, and it's almost the same shade of blue as mine! Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions. I'm leaning towards a jacket and might have enough left for a vest. Happy New Year! Pat

CONROE (January 20, 2013)--A 4-year-old boy died in a hospital from injuries he sustained when a pit bull attacked him in the backyard of a neighbor's home near Conroe.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said Christian Gormanous, climbed a chain link fence into the neighbor's yard just after 5 p.m. Saturday.
The dog was chained but somehow managed to attack and bite the boy.
The boy's 9-year-old sister was able to pull her brother to safety and call for help.
Christian was taken to a hospital in Houston where he died from his injuries.
Deputies are investigating the attack but authorities say they don't expect to file criminal charges.
The dog was in the custody of animal control officers Sunday.

Mary Davie is assistant commissioner for the Office of Integrated Technology Services in the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service. Davie oversees the management of more than 7,000 contracts and is responsible for the largest fee-for-service IT procurement and services operation in the U.S. government. ()
Across government we are challenged with constrained budgets and acquisition resources while simultaneously focused on improving procurement and ultimately delivering successful projects and programs. The General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Acquisition Services (FAS) is drastically rethinking how we can serve agencies by creating a marketplace that will provide agencies with buying options, access to data and information, access to expertise, an improved buying experience, and at the same time deliver significant savings.
Government's IT marketplace - delivering savings
ITS is governments go-to source for IT products, services, and solutions. We are committed to helping agencies understand acquisition options and find solutions. In 2013, we set out with an ambitious goal of bringing $1.35B in savings to our agencies and I am happy to report that we were able to meet our goal. Here are some of the savings highlights:
■ The Networx program saved its subscribing agencies $678 million in FY13. One agency is expected to achieve 20 percent cost savings by using Networx.
■ We helped an agency that needed to connect securely to the public Internet with Managed Trusted Internet Protocol Service (MTIPS) to achieve an estimated 20 percent cost savings.
■ Most agencies using GSAs USAccess Program shared service save between 4 and 9 times the amount it costs to do it themselves.
■ Using the SmartBUY BPAs, agencies saved $775M in software costs compared to commercial prices.
■ The FedRAMP program takes a do once, use many approach to Authority to Operate (ATO), which can help save agencies up to a year in time and $100,000 versus conducting their own ATO process.
■ As of September, the new ReverseAuctions.GSA.gov site delivered 17 federal agencies an average savings of 7.27 percent ($161,549 in savings).
Its no secret that FAS and ITS focus on increasing the use of GSA acquisition solutions and programs by federal, state, local and tribal governments. By using existing contract vehicles that are flexible and customizable, every agency gets what they need but doesnt have to recreate the basic procurement process. We aim to reduce the need for duplicate contracts, improve consistency in terms and conditions, improve the chance of successful project outcomes, and of course save agencies money. We leverage the full buying power of the government which gives us the ability to negotiate and drive down prices for everyone.
Initiatives to reduce costs in FY14
Were happy with FY13 results, but this is a marathon and not a sprint, and there is more that we can do. Were hard at work making FY14 more successful than FY13 with the goal to increase our ability to serve as the governments marketplace:
■ We want to help agencies make smarter decisions through data: We are piloting prices-paid initiatives for some of our contracts now, including Future COMSATCOM Services Acquisition (FCSA) and Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), making prices-paid data available thereby enabling better buying decisions.
■ We have been conducting a full-scale review and modernization of the GSA Federal Supply Schedules contracts to ensure they are best suited to meet todays needs.
■ We are focusing our offerings around categories of spend to streamline offerings and channels to the market.
■ In FY13, we set the groundwork to help government through our Managed Mobility Program that includes a managed mobility information center and our FSSI Wireless BPAs to deliver agency savings in FY14. We are reducing price variability on wireless service plans, and less variation will help agencies make better cost-saving business decisions. Agencies can save 15-20 percent on wireless service annually and eliminate mobile device costs entirely since zero-cost devices are bundled with service plans.
■ Finally, we recently launched the Request for Quote on the FSSI Large Desktop Publisher BPAs, part of the SmartBUY program, which will drive even greater savings for government software.
The underlying purpose of each initiative is to allow us to better serve agency customers and deliver more cost savings. And there are more to come. Not only will our FY14 initiatives serve government needs, but prices-paid data, modernization of contracts, and aligning acquisitions to seller buying patterns help industry partners compete, reduce costs, and make it easier to do business with the government.

Computing Derivatives
Power Functions
A power function is any function of the form f(x) = xa, where a is any real number.
Sample Problem
The following are all power functions:
Sample Problem
The following are all power functions, written deceptively.The function
is a power function since it can be written as
f(x) = x1/2
f(x) = x.5.
The function
is also a power function, since this can be written as
g(x) = x–6.
Sample Problem
The function
f(x) = xx
is not a power function, because the exponent is a variable instead of a constant.
We usually assume the exponent a isn't 0, because if a is 0 we find a power function. The function
f(x) = x0 = 1
is a constant function, and we already know how to deal with those.
There's a skill needed for integrals that we'll consider now: thinking backwards. Instead of taking a function and figuring out its derivative, think about looking at a derivative and figuring out what sort of function it came from. Try this out when looking over solutions to derivatives.

This Spring/Summer makeup trend is all about the pops of colour with hues of orange, pink and blue. Bold lips and liner is an easy way of sprucing up your daily makeup looks and bringing yourself right up to trend. Pair an electric blue liner with the easy to wear golds and browns to create this easy Spring/Summer 2014 look. Also experiment with bright pinks and oranges on the lips.

First-ever Mandela Day marathonComment on this story
Howick, KwaZulu-Natal - Brighton Chipere will go into history as the inaugural winner of the Mandela Day Marathon held over the gruelling course from Imbali outside Pietermaritzburg, through Hilton to the Mandela Capture site outside Howick on Sunday.
The Zimbabwean athlete running in the colours of the Mr Price Sport club shared the lead with fellow countryman Munyaradzi Jari for most of the way.
"At first I thought it was going to be an easy race as there was lots of downhill early on, but after 8km it was very tough – it's one of the toughest I have ever seen," said Chipere, winner of last year's Township to Township race between Umlazi and KwaMashu. "I had the spirit of Madiba burning in me when I was running here."
Chipere has a best mara-thon of two hours 12 minutes, but in the Mandela Day Marathon, with its 8km-long "Struggle Hill", followed by the 2km "Challenge Climb", the best he could do was 2:28:32.
Sikhumbuzo Seme, from Pretoria, completed the podium in 2:31:51. The last of the top 10 runners was Sanele Ndlela, who completed the run in 2:39:04.
Muchaneta Gwata gave Zimbabwe the double, taking the honours in a tightly fought ladies race.
Hundreds of athletes ran the marathon to mark 50 years since the arrest of Nelson Mandela.
Parallel to the main race, 560 amateur athletes ran 10km while members of the public were invited to walk exactly 4.666km to the spot where Mandela was arrested.
Mandela's grandson, Mandla, an ANC MP, ran the 10km race. He said Mandela took fitness seriously and used to work out daily between 4am and 6am. "It is a message to South Africans and the global community that we should continue to stay healthy and fight obesity," he said trying to suck in his pot-belly after the race. - The Mercury

Chinese TransPhone launches, competes with Asus PadFone
updated 09:47 am EDT, Wed September 26, 2012
Phone docks into screen, creating tablet
China Union Branch has put its own phone-to-tablet device on the market. The TransPhone uses the Asus PadFone concept of docking a smaller phone into a larger flat panel display, effectively turning it into a tablet. This version, however, does so at a lower pricepoint, and with a significantly reduced set of specifications.
The main part, the phone, has a 3.5-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 800x480 and multitouch. Running on Android 2.3.5, it has a Snapdragon S1 processor with 512MB of RAM, 512MB integrated storage, and a 32GB MicroSD card as expanded storage. The quad-band handset also has GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, a 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, and a 300,000 pixel front camera. The 7-inch dock screen called the TransPad also holds a second 2,800mAh battery, supporting the 1,450mAh battery in the TransPhone itself.
The basic TransPhone and TransPad set will cost $430 together, while individually they cost $380 and $140 respectively. Bundles are available, such as the Family Pack consisting of two TransPhones, three TransPads and two chargers for $1000, and the Business Pack of ten TransPhones and 15 TransPads for $4500.
The original Asus Padfone in comparison costs $900. [via Tablet News]

Rebecca Lieb | October 28, 2005 | Comments
Was your e-mail service provider just snapped up by a large corporation? If so, does it matter?
That was the sound of your email service provider (ESP) being swallowed by a larger conglomerate.
It's getting so you need a scorecard to keep track of this game. In just the past year or so, database marketing services vendors have been snapping up their email counterparts. Acxiom bought Digital Impact; Experian nabbed CheetahMail; Harte-Hanks acquired Postfuture; infoUSA snagged Yesmail; Alliance Data Systems' Epsilon picked up BigFoot Interactive; JL Halsey bought Lyris in May; and, not yet sated, it snapped up EmailLabs this month. DoubleClick's DARTMail is widely thought to be a sale waiting to happen.
Several of these buyers have let it be known they're still shopping for ESPs. Others, such as Fair Isaac and Merkle, are expected to jump into the ESP game at any moment.
Whether your ESP is standalone or part of a conglomerate, it's almost certainly gotten into analytics. Experian bought Web analytics firm Harvest Solutions. ExactTarget integrated its email platform with WebTrends. Digital River acquired both ESP BlueHornet and Web analytics provider Fireclick. Analytics players Coremetrics and WebSideStory have both built extensive partner programs. Each has integrated its platform with a number of ESP partners.
E-mail is moving from being a pure technology service to becoming part of an online marketing services palette. But how important is that to companies that send commercial email? And have all these ESPs gotten the technology part right before hitching up with larger partners that will try to up- and cross-sell their clients?
Not Ready for Prime Time Technology
Jupiter Research just issued its "E-mail Marketing Buyer's Guide, 2005," which evaluates 30 ESPs in depth.
An alarming number of them don't include what the report calls "basic and mission-critical compliance features." Testing and CAN-SPAM support were found in only 66 percent and 63 percent of applications, respectively. New FCC wireless domain suppression requirements are met by 60 percent of ESPs. The rest either charge a fee to meet the requirements or don't meet them at all.
Shopping for an ESP? The prospect of being on the wrong side of compliance should be an instant deal breaker.
What do buyers look for? According to Jupiter Research's report: cost, reputation, and delivery -- in that order. Tactical and strategic abilities are among the last considerations. And although things may soon change, standout technical innovations haven't been forthcoming in the ESP space for a long while.
For marketers concerned with price, David Daniels, author of Jupiter Research's report, suggests seeking a two- to three-year engagement with an ESP to drive down the price. Forrester's Shar VanBoskirk, who's authoring a soon-to-be-published ESP study, believes "email service providers offer very similar services. It's up to marketers to find the ESP that fits their needs."
A fit may correspond more with corporate culture than tech requirements, she thinks. Service-oriented companies may want more of an agency approach, for example, while a high-tech concern may be more comfortable with an ESP focused on technology.
Is Bigger Better?
What about all those rollups? Are marketers better off with a standalone ESP or an agency that offers email as well as a wide variety of other services, online and off-?
"I don't necessarily think that bigger is better," Daniels told me. "That hypothesis certainly hasn't been proven. They're certainly not new. Experian tried this years ago with Exactis. Equifax tried this. DoubleClick. There are probably more examples of this not working than working."
He points out that, for better or worse, email marketers remain islands unto themselves within marketing organizations. Rarely are they responsible for paid search or banner placement, and certainly not for offline marketing. Daniels believes the new rollups face a long, tough sales process. "You've got to convince three or four people that there's value in bringing all this together."
Even those marketers who do have a responsibility for the totality of online marketing likely outsource site search, publishing, and metrics to different vendors. "These disciplines within the Internet are still young enough. People don't want to put all their eggs in one basket," said Daniels.
Analytics is the exception. It certainly ought to be integrated into any email program. But higher-volume marketers who care about this already have relationships with Web metrics vendors.
Would you change analytics vendors to match an email program? "I'd have to retag my site and change my content development process," reminds Daniels. "Web analytics are very embedded into the content production process. Switching analytics vendors is a much greater hump to get over than switching your ESP. ESPs really have to be focused on integration and the ease of integration."
Large retailers also have relationships with data companies that often go back decades. Data organizations such as Epsilon may view Bigfoot's clients as potential new customers, but it's unlikely an organization of Sears' proportions would switch data providers for the sake of their email programs.
Both Daniels and VanBoskirk expect ESP consolidation and acquisitions to continue. Bigger companies can offer more resources, and potentially better pricing, to clients who avail themselves of multiple services. But size, VanBoskirk reminded me, "doesn't automatically equate to better service or more innovation."

Some say whoever fills the shoes left by West Virginia Supreme Court Justice Joseph Albright has big shoes to fill.
Justice Albright passed away Friday night after complications from esophageal cancer.
The seventy-year old had been on leave from the bench since September and Justice Thomas McHugh had been filling in.
The Associated Press reports Chief Justice Brent Benjamin will appoint McHugh on Monday to serve in Albright's place until Governor Joe Manchin appoints someone to serve until the next general election in 2010.
Walt Auvil, a member of the West Virginia Association for Justice and the chair of the Wood County Democratic Party said "Justice Albright was not someone who's vote you could count on going one particular way in all cases. He certainly decided things based on the law and as he saw the law and was very good about applying the law and we certainly would hope that in looking at that that's the type of justice that would follow in those type of footsteps."
Manchin's office told the Associated Press a seven person committee will interview candidates and advise the governor but no one said how long this could take.
Justice Albright's term was set to end in 2012. So the person who is elected in 2010 will have to run again in 2012 if he or she wants to stay on the bench.

An anonymous blogger who calls himself "a peasant" quoted my If… post in full yesterday on his blog Nuf Sed, and then added this gem of his own commentary:
I found working through these questions to be a valuable exercise today. And it's an exercise very much like this that is leading me these days. Not setting myself up as a mystic, mind you. Too high range for me. And even if God gave me the grace of God's Presence…I sure wouldn't call myself a mystic! How awkward! 'Mystic' is a word that only other people — and very discerning ones — can affix to you, and preferably long after you're dead. Calling oneself a 'mystic' is like laughing at one's own jokes — it's just a mistake.
That's not only 'nough said, it's well said. Just the other day I had written my "don't make the mistake of calling yourself a mystic" disclaimer for my book, and —at least for its first draft — I'm afraid it is rather bloated and verbose. How lovely to read the words of someone who can make that argument eloquently, elegantly and humorously in just a few well-chosen words.

Anybody selling CUU when it hit $2.74 would have not paid their taxes and would have re-invested their profits.
That is a ridiculous assumption to make. By your flawed logic, anybody who has ever made a decent return in the stock market, in actuality hasn't made a single dime because they would of re-invested everything and be sitting on a negative return now. Absolutely ridiculous. I'm actually going to add you to my ignore list just because of that one ridiculous assumption you made. Seriously... it's ridiculous. Ignore list +1
