J. D. Salinger Died Today
J. D. Salinger died today at his home in New Hampshire. He was 91 years old. He is an author who defies adjectives; legendary, iconic, reclusive, mysterious. To me, each of his books is deeply personal, so that I am always surprised to learn that other people feel as strongly about his work as I do. Best known for the book on almost everyone's reading list, The Catcher in the Rye, I am partial to the books about the Glass family, Franny & Zooey, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters, and Seymour. My favorite of his works, however, is his book of stories, Nine Stories.
I mourn the loss of someone who touched me as deeply as anyone I have never met.

text: Finish off your psychotic clown costume with this gruesome sinister mask. The Crazed Clown Light Up Mask is a highly detailed full covered white mask designed with sinister clown make up, gruesome crooked smile, and light up green eyes. Just wear this with any costume you deem crazy enough and you'll have the most twisted costume around.


text: I like how this looks. There's an almost nostalgic feeling (I'm thinking of the maps in the old McKillip books, the "Hed Series"; I guess also the Jacques books too). Excellent hand-drawn look, but detailed enough to be really engaging. The scale looks good too, although I have a terrible time with scale myself. Looking forward to see the rest!

I stopped by my girlfriend's house the other day and saw that, once again, she was moving furniture. Lots of ladies enjoy rearranging their furnishings from time to time, but she takes it to a whole new level.
Not only does she move the furniture, but she generally changes it somehow. She is the queen of re-purposing.
For example, on this particular day she had sawed the legs off her computer hutch, inserted a small stand, and turned it into a TV armoire. Brilliant!

Usher claims he's being stalked by a dangerous delusional woman who is convinced she's married to him! Usher has obtained a temporary restraining order against 26-year-old Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw claiming she showed up uninvited to his Georgia home on June 23 with the intention of harassing him and his family. Sources close to Usher say she pounded on his front door and demanded to be let in. Cops were called to the scene where they warned Darshelle to stay away from the property and told her not to come back. We're told Darshelle left the home, but not for long. Usher says she returned the very next day. Cops were once again called and Darshelle tried to convince the officers she was Usher's wife and had simply misplaced her keys. Cops didn't buy the story because Usher's not and placed Darshelle under arrest. Usher immediately obtained a temporary restraining order and is hoping to make that order more permanent during a hearing next month. For Darshelle's part, she posted a YouTube video Wednesday, claiming Usher has been secretly funneling her cash since last year, promising to make living arrangements for her. She also says he promised to help with her music career. In the video, Darshelle insists, "I'm not a stalker. Usher has officially slandered me and defamed my character." She says she plans to file defamation charges against Usher soon.

16-year-old Kendall Jenner and her 14-year-old sister Kylie are about to become authors. They're going to write a young adult fantasy novel about, "two sisters on a journey filled with terror, mystery, drama and love." It takes place 200 years from now in a dystopian future (a.k.a. "Hunger Games" rip-off). There's no word on a title. The book will be out next summer. Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian published a book last year called "Doll House". It was about the glamorous life of three sisters named Kamille, Kassidy and Kyle.
It's really over for Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz. Eva and Penelope Cruz's little brother became a couple in February 2011 months after Eva and Tony Parker broke up. They were married for four years. Eva broke it off after she discovered hundreds of inappropriate texts between him and another woman, their close pal Erin Barry. Eduardo and Eva were on-and-off for about 16 months.
Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee would like his fans to know two things: He loves you, but no, he won't take a picture with you. Seriously. So stop askin'. Tommy explained his rationale in a long post on the band's Facebook page. "I f***ing love my fans! What I have a problem with is taking pictures! I hate it! It irritates the f*** out of me when people say 'You owe it to your fans, they put you where you are.' I certainly don't owe anybody anything! When I bought all my Led Zeppelin records and concert tickets, I didn't say, 'One day these f***ers are gonna owe me a picture. It's the least they can do for me!' What the f***, people? I'm not here to take pictures with you, I'm here to entertain you! Nobody put me where I am but ME! What I do owe myself and others is being the best I can be!" Is he right? Or do they owe it to us? And does it matter if they are a little "past their prime" or if it were a "new-ish" celebrity ? If you were to see Drake or Channing Tatum or Nicki Minaj out somewhere, do they OWE you a picture? Could they get away with saying something like that? Either way, this was a brave thing to come out and say.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- Lucas Duda homered and Jeremy Hefner struck out the last six batters he faced in a five-inning stint to help the New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 5-2 on Friday.
Hefner, bidding for a spot in the Mets' rotation, gave up home runs to Juan Francisco and Freddie Freeman before finishing strong. Hefner allowed five hits, struck out seven and walked one.
B.J. Upton had a double and single in three at-bats for the Braves, raising his spring average to .444 (20 for 44). He is 10 for 14 in his past five games.
Braves starter Tim Hudson gave up five hits and two runs over six innings after allowing nine hits and six runs in his previous start.
Zach Lutz had two hits for the Mets, and Aaron Laffey pitched 2 1-3 hitless innings to close the game.

Founded by Dutch editor and stylist (and frequent VMagazine.com contributor) Sonny Groo, Mykromag has released over 80 features online and in print since 2009, showcasing up-and-comers who have since become established players in the industry, such as Guillaume Henry, Iris van Herpen, Mary Katrantzou, JW Anderson, Miroslava Duma and Nicola Formichetti. Mykromag's last adventure in print publishing was back in 2011, when they put out a beautiful set of books with unisex designer Rad Hourani.
This year marks the triumphant return of a printed Mykromag, this time with a minimized name and aesthetic. MYKRO is now a quarterly large format magazine in no-nonsense black and white. The first official issue is part of a limited edition run of three hundred copies; it includes twelve interviews with talent who, if we can judge by how the others Groo has found have faired, will continue to stir audiences for a long time to come.
For their latest issue, Groo and his team found a variety of tastemakers, like the enigmatic James Goldstein, fashion's last true cowboy, who worked tirelessly to bring his architecture dreams to life with John Lautner, a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright. The great Mrs. Eileen Ford, at the age of ninety-one shows incredible enthusiasm by sharing her story—one that has never been printed before—in a heartwarming interview with her protégé Neal Hamil. Long-time friend and designer Esteban Cortazar, who has returned to fashion after being replaced at Ungaro, shares a story of new beginnings with his sensational collaboration with Net-A-Porter, while in New York, hot on the heels of Yahoo's acquisition of Tumblr for a $1.1 billion, Valentine Uhovski, is introduced as the micro-blogging site's first Fashion Evangelist. Also featured are two emerging musicians who represent a new level of consciousness: Jihae and Maya Vik; and finally, the mesmerising cover story features Daphne Guinness, a true original and fashion favorite.

Simba players and officials are expected to board a flight to Khartoum on Wednesday ahead of the return leg tie of the CAF Confederation Cup against Al Ahly Shandy this weekend.
The Sudanese side will host their visitors at their backyard located 70 kilometres north of Khartoum on Sunday
Simba's chairman Ismail Rage said the match will be played under floodlights and his team flies early so as to acclimatize with the weather.
Playing duo of Juma Nyosso and Nassor Masoud have been ruled out of the Khartoum after picking up yellow cards during previous matches to be ineligible in the Al Shandy clash.
Simba cruised into 3-0 goals during their first leg match played on April 29 at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
The host side has a tall order to undertake with 4-0 victory as the best result to keep them on track for the last eight encounters.
Simba have a relatively soft workload to advance into the lucrative last eight round robin matches should they defend their victory on Sunday.
Simba booked a date with the Sudanese team after knocking out Algeria's Entente Setif on away bonus goal advantage after a 3-3 tie. Simba had won the first leg in Dar es Salaam by 2-0 goals before losing by 3-1 in Setif.
Before meeting the Algerians, Simba saw off Rwanda's Kiyovu Sport by 3-2 goals with a 2-1 victory during the return leg tie played in Dar es Salaam.

If not treated immediately, cardiogenic shock can be fatal. Another serious complication of cardiogenic shock is damage to your liver, kidneys or other organs from lack of oxygen.
Kidney or liver damage can worsen cardiogenic shock because the kidneys release chemicals that keep your muscles functioning, and the liver releases proteins that help your blood clot. Organ damage can be permanent.

"I'm extra!"
My mother's smile was radiant as she greeted me at the door on my regular Friday morning visit. She was by then almost a decade into her journey with Alzheimer's disease.
Guessing that her happy expression was a substitute for words she could no longer retrieve, I responded with equal enthusiasm, "Yes, you are extra!"
But her waving arms and frown clearly told me I had misunderstood.
"I'm extraordinary…" she started again with undampened enthusiasm.
"You bet you're extraordinary!" I interrupted, delighted at this rare polysyllabic pronouncement.
Again she waved off my response.
"I'm extra-ordinari-ly glad to see you," she finally said, her Herculean task accomplished.
A red carpet and brass band could not have made me feel more welcome.
During the 25 years I was a college professor, my job was to teach. Now that my mother had Alzheimer's disease, it was my turn to learn.
I spent Fridays with her during the last years of her life so that my father, her full-time caregiver, could have a few hours to himself. During those visits my mother taught me to pay less attention to what she had lost – her memory about the recent past – and more attention to the many ways she remained the same: intellectually curious, witty, and gracious.
We simply refocused. Instead of discussing current politics or recent books, as had been our custom, we talked about the twenty years we had lived in Switzerland, her life as a university librarian, her happy 60-year marriage to my father, and our summers on the coast of Maine. We spoke French together, listened to the music of J.S. Bach, and sang familiar hymns.
My mother was not always cheerful and upbeat when I arrived. Some days she greeted me with mere practiced good manners. Her polite but perfunctory, "How are you?" tempted me to respond, as she had taught me years ago, "I'm fine, thank you. And how are you?"
One day, however, I answered truthfully that I was disheartened by a difficult week at work. To my surprise, this candor produced unexpected magic. My mother, whose short-term memory lapses increasingly led people to treat her like an invalid, would sometimes act with uncharacteristic helplessness. Now an earlier identity resurfaced. "I'm so sorry," she said with the heartfelt concern of a mother invited to provide understanding and support. "Come tell me about it."
Only then did I realize that by waiting on her and catering to her needs, I had robbed her of the gifts she still had to give. So I learned to ask for her help and advice. When I had finished washing the lettuce for our lunches, she would spin it dry in her familiar Zyliss salad-spinner, her body remembering the gestures her conscious mind had long forgotten. When she no longer knew how to set the table for lunch, we made decisions together. "The Geneva plates or Auntie Gene's set?" I would ask. And we would happily discuss the pros and cons of each, digressing at length about Geneva and her long-departed favorite Auntie Gene. When her energy flagged, we sang her Swarthmore College alma mater song, whose words she always remembered better than I did.
I also learned to respond as much to her feelings as to her words.
"Where's Charlie?" she would anxiously ask every few minutes when my father was out running errands.
"Charlie?" I would respond, side-stepping the question. "You mean that handsome man you married over sixty years ago in Georgetown, Maine? Didn't you tell me that the lilacs in our meadow were still in bloom on June 16th?" And we would be off reminiscing about weddings and Georgetown and lilacs still blooming in June.
Were our times together always easy? No. But many difficulties were eased when I was able to focus more on my mother's remaining abilities than on those she had lost, when we evoked earlier events that she could recall rather than recent ones she had forgotten, and when the words she could no longer remember became less important than the feelings she expressed with a smile or a hug.
When people asked how I could to see this Alzheimer's glass as half-full rather than half-empty, I told them I was blessed in several ways.
My mother and I had enjoyed a history of mutual respect and affection which didn't evaporate simply because she developed Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the excellent resources of the Alzheimer's Association helped me understand the progression of the disease, so I wasn't shocked when my mother embellished stories because she couldn't recall actual events, or when she started eating with her fingers because she no longer remembered how to use a knife and fork.
And finally, I knew she had lovingly cared for me when I was a child. She had helped me wash and dress, had paid more attention to my smiles and tears than to my unintelligible babblings, and had focused more on my needs than on her own.
Now it was my turn.

The Inferno Killers (so named for the purpose of this wiki) were a group of spree killers that appeared in "Skin in the Game" and "The Devil and D.B. Russell".
- Jake Tarland
- Matthew Tarland
- Ellie Brass
Modus Operandi
The group targeted, prostitutes, strippers and other sex trade workers who sought shelter at the Fellowship for the Fallen Angels. They would kill them in various ways, though the first victims were killed by strangulation or some other form of asphyxiation. The victims were then posed to look like illustrations from a 16th century edition of Dante's The Divine Comedy. The group's calling card was leaving behind hollowed-out bibles with a rectangular case inside near the victims. Circles were also prominently featured at the crime scenes, not just in objects, but also carved on the cases.
Mutual Victims
- 2013:
- April 23: Teresa Hill (non-fatally strangled and slipped into a coma; represented the first circle, "Limbo")
- February 17 (Found May 12): : Megan Ramirez (strangled and mummified; represented the second circle, "Lust")
- May 13:
- Chloe Rudolph (choked on a chocolate covered locust; represented the third circle, "Gluttony")
- Greg Lee (shot once in the head; represented the fourth circle, "Greed")
- May 14-15: Morgan Brody (abducted, held hostage and shot in the back by Ellie; survived)
- May 14: Denise Tyler (stabbed through the heart; represented the fifth circle, "Wrath")
- May 15:
- Angela Banner (killed and tied to a pole; represented the sixth circle, "Heresy")
- Oliver Tate (killed by an explosion; represented the seventh circle, "Violence")
- Matthew Tarland (member; non-fatally stabbed and shot to death by Ellie)
- Nancy Brass (stabbed repeatedly by Ellie)

Hill said an out building on Gerogia Avenue, in New Bern, was a total loos. No injuries were reported. Hill said the storage building housed a few grills and lawn mowing equipment. While the fire stayed contained to the storage building, it was near an occupied home.
"We have had several suspicious fires in this area over the last few years," said Hill. "Our investigation is continuing, but there are no suspects at this time.

Whether they knew him or not, everyone always called my father "Grandpa" and still do today! It must be because he looks the way you would imagine a grandfather to look. Perhaps it's the gentle blue eyes and the beard tinged with auburn...or maybe it's the hat and the workman's overalls he always wears. Maybe, his honesty and dignity...or the pride he takes in a product that carries his family name. He has always had the wisdom and ethics that take most of us a lifetime to develop...the traits that are the foundation of a great, and growing family business. As our family sat around the dining room table one afternoon in 1995 trying to come up with a name for our marine business everyone laughed when my 10 year old nephew said, "Let's call it Grandpa's!" The name stuck. Today our business, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, is about making the excitement of boating affordable. Our family's memories of weekends spent at our lake cabin...boating from dawn to dusk...are some of our best memories. We want everyone to have the same opportunity to enjoy boating.

Perhaps it is time we took stock of these relationships. Are they partnerships?
Not in the strictest sense. Are they purchaser/supplier situations? Literally, yes, but hopefully more than that. Will the parties sign a contract? Probably: 85% of ISBA members have contracts with their principal agencies. And what form will it take? Almost certainly some variant of the standard ISBA/IPA model. What will that contain? About 38 pages of provision for things going wrong, tempered with a detailed description of process.
Does it say that if the members of the client team who made the agency appointment are off, then so is the deal? No. Does it allow the client to walk away if the agency it selected changes beyond recognition? No.
The contract is also unlikely to contain heroic clauses about the reason the agency was appointed in the first place, which was presumably to help the client storm barriers and climb mountains.
After two decades on the agency side and 16 years trying to help clients and agencies make relationships as productive as possible,I believe what is really missing is a deal. I'm not talking about the purely financial aspect that is so important to the procurement people, but about the deals you find in business biographies. Big deals. Life-changing deals. Ambitious deals, with the heady aroma of win-win. Anyone can move an account. Any agency can win a piece of business. But are clients and agencies signing big hairy deals? No.
There is a big clue in the language used. Agency remuneration, payment by results, resource package fees, full-time equivalent people (FTE).
It doesn't sound like the language of deals. Showbiz stars don't get remuneration.
Football managers don't sign their squads on an FTE basis. Defence contracts are not agreed on resource package fees. Agencies have to be able to offer their clients care and maintenance, as well as change management. But the key deals obviously relate to the world of change management.
Most clients and agencies have some kind of evaluation system to measure service, performance and value. But are these systems adequate for the measurement of the success of the programmes for which the agency was hired in the first place? Client and agency are stakeholders in the outcome of these. Effectively, they are forming a strategic alliance. The terms of that alliance, the commercial arrangements that drive it, and the goals that are set need to be enshrined in a mutually agreed 'flight plan'.
Obviously, you still need aspects of the insurance policy. No client or agency can move forward without defining ownership of intellectual property, mutual obligations, termination provisions and so on. But the raison d'etre has to be a mutually agreed goal and what it's worth to the client if the agency helps pull it off. That's the deal.

Spironolactone for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Spironolactone is a diuretic, which gets rid of excess salt and water in the body. It also reduces androgen levels in women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Why It Is Used
Spironolactone can reduce male-pattern hair growth (hirsutism), hair loss, and acne in women who have PCOS.
Spironolactone used alone can cause irregular bleeding and could cause problems if used during pregnancy. For these reasons, it is usually taken along with birth control pills. It is used to control irregular menstrual bleeding and to reduce hirsutism.
How Well It Works
About 70 to 80 out of 100 women who have PCOS see a reduction in excess hair growth after taking spironolactone. It may take up to 6 months of daily use to be fully effective.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Confusion.
- Irregular heartbeat.
- Numbness or tingling in your hands, feet, or lips.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Stomach cramps.
- Diarrhea.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Ask your doctor if you should watch the amount of potassium in your diet. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, so your doctor may check to make sure you do not get high potassium levels in your blood. Don't take a potassium supplement if you are taking this medicine.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- The U.S. Government won't explain, but a 9 News Now investigation has found $30 million in unreported bonuses for fiscal year 2011 - making the already troubled General Services Administration's total bonus pool nearly $44 million.
Click here to search GSA payroll records uncovered in WUSA9 investigation by name, city, and job title: http://www.wusa9.com/news/database/
"Just outrageous," said U.S. Rep John Mica, Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. "All put on the taxpayers tab. There are very serious problems for GSA. "
GSA does not respond to interview requests
GSA officials did not respond to interview requests, but issued a statement saying Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini "is reviewing all bonuses and the entire performance award system."
Mica shares GSA oversight responsibility with Congressman Jeff Denham.
"We've known that there is a culture of waste, fraud and
abuse," said U.S. Rep Jeff Denham (R-Ca.), Chairman of the House Subcommitte on Oversight. "This proves that this is a systemic
problem that is rooted deeply within this organization."
Mica plans to bring out the bonus records uncovered by 9 Wants to Know during a congressional hearing into GSA mismanagement scheduled to begin Wednesday morning.
WUSA9 investigation reviewed over 13,000 payroll records
The $44 million in bonuses should have been released in May, when the Office of Personnel Management released GSA payroll and bonus information, but until WUSA9 sorted through the newly obtained 13,000 GSA pay records, the troubled agency had reported less than a third of its bonus pay.
"It's very significant," Mica said. "People have to be held accountable"
The GSA statement said the agency has identified more than 15 different bonus structures, questions about the agency's high award rate, and questions as to whether performance goals are set to high enough levels.
GSA suspended a bonus program to senior executives after a May WUSA investigation uncovered 67 bonuses of about $10,000 a piece, including payouts to officials suspended for poor performance.
WUSA9 has published the newly obtained 13,710 individual payroll records of GSA employees showing bonuses and wages the agency did not release in response in May.
"I want to be commissioner, so freaking bad," crooned the GSA rapper made infamous in videos released as the agency's $823,000 Las Vegas convention scandal unfolded. "When I'm commissioner, oh, oh, oh," goes the refrain about easy government money at GSA.
The findings of our analysis indicate the rapper may as well have been singing about former Acting Administrator and Denver Regional Commissioner Paul Prouty.
Congressional sources say Prouty, who officials suspended shortly after the scandal broke, helped organize that lavish $823,000 Las Vegas GSA convention - working with Commissioner Jeffrey Neely who is better known for that shirtless convention bathtub shot.
It wasn't not Prouty's first dustup in a GSA controversy.
Official earns $100,000 in bonuses during years of controversies
In 2009 , Prouty was the acting Administrator who received the GSA death list, an e-mail warning about fears Kansas City workers had cancer related illnesses caused by toxins at a GSA complex. GSA ignored the warning, and Prouty got a bonus.
The GSA cash bonuses referred to in the highly publicized rap videos paid out big for Prouty following the unexplained deaths of workers in Kansas City and the lavish spending at the Las Vegas Convention.
According to documents and a database obtained by 9 Wants to Know under the Freedom of Information Act, in addition to his $167,700 annual salary, Prouty pocketed over $100,000 in bonuses over the past three years.
The day we met Congressman Mica, he was literally humming as he walked out of his Rayburn building office, but it was to tune quite different than the GSA's "I want to be a commissioner."
"You've helped uncover incredible abuse of a bonus system," Mica said after reviewing documents obtained by 9 Wants to Know. "This is, uh, This is very revealing."
A GSA official say Prouty left the agency June 25th, but declined to provide details of the separation.
It's not just Prouty's bonus that shocked Mica.
OPM FOIA response didn't include GSA's extra $30M bonuses
It's the $30 million dollars in bonuses the government did not report in a May Freedom of Information Act to WUSA9 sister publication Asbury Park Press.
In it, OPM reported GSA paying out only $13,100,951 in bonuses.
Click here to see individual GSA worker pay records, and records of other federal employees reported to Asbury Park Press in May in response to the original Freedom of Information Act.
Editors note: Despite repeated requests, GSA offered no comment on the missing until after publication of this story.
"GSA accurately reports salary and personnel information to the Office of Personnel Management on a biweekly and annual basis," said GSA spokeswoman Betsaida Alcantara after publication.
OPM did not respond to interview requests, and an official there said
the agency could not speak to GSA's process for releasing bonus
Thus bringing the actual total of GSA bonuses in 2011 to $43,739,932.
"Now we can see why they didn't want to give us the details," Mica said. "You've helped uncover incredible abuse of a bonus system."
2500 GSA workers received bonuses from $5,000 to $79,000
The 9 Wants to Know analysis uncovered 2500 GSA employees getting bonuses in increments of $5,000 up to $79,000 last year.
Most are grossly underreported in the OPM response or not reported at all.
Our FOIA shows Deputy Commissioner Jon Jordan $79,000 in bonuses, but in May, OPM reported Jordan's bonus as only $1,800. The WUSA9 FOIA indicates more than $54,000 in bonuses was paid out to Commissioner Paul Prouty, but OPM reported it as $3,200.
The response to our FOIA reports over $51,000 in bonuses to Commissioner Cathleen Kronopolus, but OPM records totaled her bonuses at only $2,700.
Assistant Commissioner Edward O'Hare's nearly $52,000 bonus isn't recorded at all.
In its written response, GSA said the large awards were due to a presidential program that recognizes outstanding employee performance across the federal workforce.
"Each of these individuals received either the Distinguished Rank Award or the Meritorious Rank Award in 2011, which are one-time awards that can be up to 20-35 percent of a senior executive's annual salary," the GSA statement said. "Three months ago, Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini began a comprehensive, top to bottom review of all agency operations, which includes a review of all bonuses and the entire performance award system."
Mica plans to seeks answers during a Wednesday hearing already scheduled to investigate spending at a $270,000 one day GSA conference in Crystal City.
"We're going to look at not only the outrageous expenditures of the latest conference, but now at some of the bonuses that have been granted," Mica said. "We're going to do that in our hearings."
Other findings of the WUSA9 FOIA:
$8 million in overtime
The payroll records revealed over $8 million in 2011 overtime with 85 GSA workers earning $20K or more each in annual overtime.
A Washington D.C. electrician's base pay of $87,912 exploded to a total of total $214,929 with bonuses, shift differentials and overtime of $115,876.33.
In its statement, the GSA said most employees do not earn overtime.
"GSA pays overtime, leave, and locality pay in accordance with all applicable laws," the statement said. "Those who did earn overtime were eligible employees who worked over 8 hours in a day, worked over 40 hours in a week, or worked on a Sunday or a holiday or an overnight shift."
Of ten GSA workers making $75,000 or more in overtime dollars, all but one worked in Washington offices.
$7 million in unused leave pay
We also identified over $7 million paid out to workers in unused leave pay.
A former director of human resources annual salary soared from $175,644 to $277,008 after adding bonuses and $80,000 in unused leave pay.
The GSA statement identified leave pay as earned vacation time based upon an employee's years of service.
"By law, employees must be compensated for unused annual leave when leaving the agency," the statement said.

Lower Kinabatangan-Segama Wetlands, Malaysia
Aerial photograph of the Lower Kinabatangan River wetlands.
|This article is written at a definitional level only. Authors wishing to improve this entry are inivited to expand the present treatment, which additions will be peer reviewed prior to publication of any expansion.
The Lower Kinabatangan-Segama Wetlands was added to the Ramsar List of Wetlands of Internation Importance on October 28, 2008 (Ramsar Site # 1849). The Lower Kinagatangan-Segama Wetlands are one of six Wetlands of International Importance in Malaysia. These wetlands are threatened by the expansion of oil palm plantations, especially in the upriver portion of the wetlands and tributary catchment.
This 78.803 ha site is situated in Sabah (05°38'N 118°35'E) in Sarawak, East Malaysia on the island of Borneo.
Ecology and Species
This reserve contains coastal mangroves, including the largest area of mangroves in the Southern Sulu Sea, and peat swamp forest ecosystems. This reserve is fed by the Kingabatanga River, the Segama River, as well as several smaller rivers. Notable species include the Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis harrisoni), the Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus) , the tembadau (Bos javanicus) , the orang utan (Pongo abelli), and the Borneo pygmy elephant (Elephas maximus borneensis).
The tropical forests provide ecosystem services including carbon sequestration and dealing with the sediment loads and organic loads of the rivers that flow through the reserve.
At the present time of 2013, there are private conservation efforts underway to preserve wetland habitat and riverine biotic corridors, with an emphasis upon deterring excessive development of alien species oil palm plantations. These private groups include conservation entities, lodge owners and other private businesses and farms.

Ask and ye shall receive...
Here's a public Google Map for all of us to mark our locations on. It should be open for public collaboration:
I also have a second one as suggested for those of us who are willing to facilitate purchases for out of towners, look to the "The Facilitators" thread here:
for that map.
EDIT: If any members want to be on the map but NOT sign up for anything at Google, PM me with whatever location you'd like to be associated with and I'll add you to the map. Also, the maps were created under a new Gmail account I created for the purpose. If I should go away for some reason I can pass that account info on to someone else.
