While you pedal, the little electric engine will push you along at a steady 20 km/hr, and will cut out after 16 km for security and safety reasons.
The roll out of the elegant white model, which weighs in at 25.5 kilos, begins May 1, and should be complete by the middle of the month. In all, there will be 124 bike stations dotted around the center of the city, offering 1,560 bikes available 24 hours a day, year round.
Aside from giving you a boost with your ride, BiciMad sets itself apart in another way: its fee system. The first half hour is no longer free. You are charged the moment you get on the bike: 50 cents for the first 30 minutes, an additional 1.10 euros for the next 30 minutes, another 1.70 euros for the third half hour and so forth. This is after paying your 25 euro annual membership (or 15 euros for people with bus passes). The result is that heavy users will pay more.
Most bike share programs (London, Paris, New York, Montreal, etc.) do offer the first half hour free to encourage people to use the bikes. So the question with this model will be if people are willing to pay per ride. It takes the spontaneity out of the decision. Plus, if you already have a bus pass, would you want to pay extra to use a bike?
For tourists, on the other hand, BiciMad could be a gift. (The charge will be 2 euros for the first 60 minutes and 4 euros for each additional hour.) Added to that, Madrid has the perfect biking climate and the bike stands themselves are located in the most historic districts of city, near the great art museums, parks, and the palace.
Whether tourists or residents end up being the biggest users, the stickier issue may be financing. With the shining exception of Vélib in Paris, bike share programs have generally had a rocky economic history, most struggling to raise money and cover costs.
BiciMad's budget is a relatively modest 25 million euros and is part of a larger traffic management plan the city is putting in place at a cost of 884 million euros. But it, too, has already met with controversy.
The Spanish company Bonopark, in collaboration with Alta Bicycle Share (the company that runs New York's Citi Bikes), won the contract to supply the bike stands, software, and system to the city. But Bonopark has been accused by La Asociación de Marcas y Bicicletas de España of bending the rules to win the contract. On its own, the association says, Bonopark wouldn't have qualified as a contender for the bid.
At the same time, New York City officials criticized Alta Bicycle Share last month for falling down on its contract obligations to the Citi Bike program, which itself is facing financial and operational challenges.
But considering Madrid's long history of ignoring bikes, BiciMad is a big step forward. Cars have traditionally held sway in the capital--as evidenced by the lack of dedicated bike lanes. The government plans to rectify that by building 70 kilometers of new paths in the city center. (Although the city already has 316 km of bike paths, most are on the outskirts or in parkland.)
To smooth the introduction of BiciMad, and encourage peaceful "coexistence," the government launched an advertising campaign April 7, with a second planned for May 5. The message is heavy on respect -- "Nos mueve el respeto. Gracias Madrid" (Lets move with respect. Thanks, Madrid)--and tries to raise the visibility of bike use, and promote it as a means of transport.
Fliers point out some basic "rules of the road" for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, and the city has reissued a free booklet called "Guia Ciclista de Madrid" ("A cyclist's guide to Madrid.")
With only two weeks to go, there's still no sign of a website, but perhaps May 1 will be the big reveal. Either way, the next time you're in Madrid, you may want to take one of these bikes for a test run -- up a hill!

Ahmadinejad orders to start production of higher enriched uranium
Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered his country's atomic agency to start the production of higher enriched uranium. He said in remarks aired Sunday on state television: "God willing, 20 percent enrichment will start" to meet Iran's needs. He did not give a date for the start of the enrichment process.
Speaking at a meeting attended by the head of Iran's atomic energy agency, Ali Akbar Salehi, Ahmadinejad stated: "Mr. Salehi, begin production of 20 percent" enriched uranium.
"We had told them (the West) to come and have a swap, although we could produce the 20 percent enriched fuel ourselves," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. "We gave them two-to-three months' time for such a deal. They started a new game and now I (ask) Dr Salehi to start work on the production of 20 percent fuel using centrifuges," he said.
But he added: "The doors for interaction are still open." Ahmadinejad also said Iran had the capability to enrich uranium using laser technology, without elaborating.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" fans might still be patiently waiting for season six to premiere, but they are keeping a close eye on the streets of Los Angeles to find out details about the next season. Chris O'Donnell, LL Cool J, Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen are resuming their respective characters to once again fight crimes against America. According to Enstarz on Saturday, the episode "Inelegant Heart" is currently being shot in Los Angeles and will be the first episode to film post-hiatus. The story will actually air the week after the season 6 premiere, "Deep Trouble: Part 2," which was shot last spring.
While some fans might be delighted that the cast is back to work, perhaps the biggest excitement comes from fans around the Los Angeles area. On Location Vacations is reporting that the cast was filming on Friday in Downtown Los Angeles and will be back on Monday. Claiming that the area under the 6th Street Bridge at Santa Fe is the next big filming area, there is no doubt that fans are going to see some action on TV from this area.
If fans weren't enthusiastic enough about the "NCIS: Los Angeles" cast getting back to work, they might be delighted to check out the location of one of the "Inelegant Heart" episode locations online (and only online as it would be seriously uncool to interrupt the shooting and delay the episode.) The building expected to be filming from on Monday – 1333 Willow Street - has a website and it offers a look at what the cameras will be catching for the popular CBS show.
While "NCIS: Los Angeles" fans are patient, the rumors of the filming has everyone motivated. What will the new season bring? And how will the characters make the world a better place? The answers to those questions and more will be answered when "NCIS: Los Angeles" returns to CBS in the fall.

Marianne de Pierres latest novel "Peacemaker" is a fusion between the paranormal urban fantasy and detective novel. De Pierres lets the paranormal mystery unfold gradually. While there are plenty of instances of attacks and counters by spirit animals, there is no great reveal. We have to slowly come to grips with the role of the paranormal. It keeps the suspense higher. The reader will have to judge whether de Pierres is successful.
Virgin Jackson (what a name) is a park ranger at a great preserved wilderness park in the Outback. There has been a drug bust at the park. The authorities are worried that the criminals could imperil the park and the tourism there. Jackson is being partnered up with Nate Sixkiller, the grandson of a legendary American Indian lawman, who is being flown in. But before she can pick him up, Jackson witnesses a murder in the Park and is attacked and clawed by a mysterious crow. The crow wound will not stop bleeding! This is not the only visit from strange paranormal animals. Jackson also sees her familiar or disincarnate - Aquila a large wedge tailed Eagle, which she has not seen since she was 15. Aquila fights off another large crow when someone tries to kidnap Jackson right from her room. Sixkiller kills the intruder.
Soon there is action a plenty as Jackson and Sixkiller get involved in an odd gang war between the two leading factions in the City. They find an odd totem on someone following them. There are other crow attacks against Jackson and Sixkiller. Why is Jackson being targeted? Why are their more sightings of crows? Who is the new gang muscling into town?
Jackson will have to trust her new partner and her disincarnate to figure who is attacking not only her park but her world.
Its a pretty interesting novel. Jackson and Sixkiller are good characters. I thought de Pierres could have done a little more, but she does a lot with the little we get here and the ending is open for the inevitable sequel.
This paranormal spirit animal novel arrives in the bookstore on April 29, 2014. Give it a chance.

Note: questions here apply to both SAP HANA smart data streaming (SDS) and SAP Event Stream Processor (ESP) unless otherwise noted.
- What is the difference between a Stream and a Window?
- How do I create a Window from a Stream?
- My aggregate window has a KEEP 5 minutes clause, but the averages it produces are based on data older than that. Why?
- What is the difference between CCL and CCL Script?

What is the difference between a Stream and a Window?
Streams are stateless. They process each incoming event, one at a time, and publish an output event as defined by any continuous query logic attached to the stream. While a stream is processing the current event it has no knowledge of past events.
Windows, however, are like a table and normally they hold some number of rows (events) . Incoming events add, update or delete rows in the window according to the opCode of the event. The number of rows held in the Window is typically determined by a KEEP policy, for example KEEP 5 minutes will keep add incoming events to the window but then delete them after 5 minues, or KEEP 10 rows will keep the 10 rows that have been added or updated most recently, deleting the older ones. The size/contents of a window can also be affected by incoming "delete" events (i.e. events with a "Delete" opcode). So a window without a KEEP clause might only hold a few rows if most rows added are soon deleted by incoming Delete events.
It's also important to know that there is a difference in how Streams and Windows process opCodes. Because streams are stateless, they can't really process update and delete events against previous events. Therefore how a stream will handle opcodes other than inserts depends on whether the stream has a primary key or not (note that versions of ESP prior to SP08 did not support keyed streams, so all streams behave as described here for un-keyed streams). An un-keyed stream will turn updates and upserts into inserts and process them like an insert, and will ignore (discard) all delete events. A keyed stream will process events with any opcode, without altering the opcode. Bear in mind, however, that a keyed stream is still stateless, so it can't "enforce" correct opCodes - i.e. if a stream receives an insert event for a key value that was never previously received, the keyed stream will still process the event.
How do I create a Window from a Stream?
There are several ways to do this – see this doc for details.
My aggregate window has a KEEP 5 minutes clause, but the averages it produces are based on data older than that. Why?
In an aggregate window (a window with a group by clause), a KEEP policy applied to the aggregate window itself applies to the output. So it will cause any aggregate row to be discarded if it hasn't updated in the last 5 minutes (or whatever the keep policy is). The keep policy is NOT applied to the input – so ALL the rows contributing to the aggregate record will be kept as long as that record exists in the window. To do something like create a moving average over the last 5 minues, apply the 5 minute KEEP policy in the FROM clause (or upstream of the aggregation query).
What is the difference between CCL and CCL Script?
(Note: in versions of ESP prior to SP09, CCL Script was called SPLASH)
All streaming projects are written in CCL. The CCL file gets compiled into ccx, which in an executable that runs on the streaming server. CCL is derived from SQL and as such is declarative. This has the benefits of being familiar, easy to understand and efficient to use. However, there are times when the event processing logic you need to implement is not easily expressed in a SELECT statement. This is where CCL Script comes in. CCL Script is a simple scripting language that can be used to write custom operators (Flex operators) and custom functions directly inline within a CCL project. Since CCL Script is procedural and has data structures, it gives you tremendous control in how to process an event.
Some people mistakenly think that CCL and CCL Script are two different alternatives and they need to choose one. That's not the case. Every streaming project is written in CCL; you then have the option of adding CCL Script where you need to implement complex logic that cannot be expressed in SQL-style operators.
What is an EventCache?
Eventcache can be described as a small window on the input stream in the query on which aggregation and other computations can be performed. It is a very powerful feature in CCL and can be used in many different places where one needs to compare data with previous stream input. Below is an example of this:
CREATE INPUT STREAM S1 SCHEMA (ID integer, Val integer);
CREATE OUTPUT WINDOW Change1 SCHEMA (ID integer, lastVal integer, prevVal integer, chg integer)
eventCache(S1[ID], 5 events) ec1;
S1.ID as ID,
S1.Val as lastVal,
nth(1,ec1.Val) as prevVal,
(S1.Val - nth(1,ec1.Val)) as chg
Can we use dictionaries in a regular CCL Query or just in a Flex operator?
Yes, the dictionary data type can be used in CCL queries also – they are not limited to use in FLEX operators or CCL Script functions.
CREATE INPUT STREAM S1 SCHEMA (ID integer, Val integer);
CREATE OUTPUT WINDOW Change1 SCHEMA (ID integer, lastVal integer, chg integer)
dictionary(integer, integer) prev;
integer temp;
S1.ID as ID,
last(S1.Val) as lastVal,
(temp:=prev[S1.ID];prev[S1.ID]:= S1.Val; S1.Val-temp) as chg
Why does a window with a KEEP ALL clause contain only one row?
CREATE INPUT WINDOW W1 SCHEMA (symbol string,volume integer,price float)
PRIMARY KEY(symbol)
CREATE OUTPUT WINDOW W2 SCHEMA(symbol string, volume integer,price float)
PRIMARY KEY(symbol)
The reason for this is every time a new row is inserted in to window W1 the old row is deleted as the first query has KEEP 1 row policy. The deletion propagates downstream and the row gets deleted in W2 also.
Understanding Opcodes
What is an opcode?
In CCL, every event has opcodes that is one of: insert, update, upsert (update if present, otherwise insert), delete, or safe delete (delete it if it exists, but don't log an error if it doesn't). Streams only handle inserts and will treat any updates or upserts received as an insert – and will only transmit inserts. Any deletes received by a stream will be ignored. Windows on the other hand, apply the events to the data in the window according to the opcode. See this doc for more information on OpCodes in CCL.
Why am I receiving deletes from a CCL Window, even though there have been no deletes in the input?
The KEEP policy on a window will produce deletes when the item either ages out of a time-based window or is "pushed" out from a count-based window.
Capturing CCL output in SAP HANA or SAP Sybase IQ
How do I prevent the KEEP policy on my CCL output window from deleting rows in the database?
The data from a CCL output window can be captured in HANA or IQ (or various other databases), but by default, the table in the database will have the same contents as the CCL window. The CCL window will produce inserts, updates and deletes, and those will be applied to the database table. This includes deletes that result from the KEEP policy on the window. This surprises some people – when what they really want is for the database to hold all rows that were ever in the window. This can be done, but it requires the database output adapter to be configured in "data warehouse" mode, where deletes from the window are not applied to the database table. See this doc for more information.
Project Optimization
My windows seem to grow unbounded, what's wrong?
This is most often caused by one of the following:
1. A window without a KEEP policy. In general, windows should have a KEEP clause that defines the retention policy for the window. The default KEEP policy for a window is KEEP ALL. Unless events will be naturally deleted from the window by incoming delete events, the window needs to have a KEEP clause that will keep it from growing unboundedThe only time you should have a Window without a keep clause is when you are confident that you will have incoming DELETE events (i.e. events with a DELETE opCode) that will maintain the size of the window.
2. You need to be careful when you create a Window from a Stream. Let's say your project has StreamA and StreamA is an input to WindowB and WindowB has a GROUP BY clause. Assuming that WindowB also has a KEEP clause, the KEEP will apply to to the output of WindowB - i.e. the aggregate rows. But unless you are careful to avoid using any non-additive functions in your column expressions, an aggregation index will be created behind the scenes and it will grow unbounded. See this doc for more detail on how to "safely" create Windows from Streams.
A less frequent issue is the use of dictionaries and vectors in Flex Operators. Care should be taken when using these data structures so that they don't grow unbounded. Be sure the logic that adds data to them also removes data from them. Also note that garbage collection in a Flex Operator only occurs when the Flex has completed all processing triggered by the current event and moves on to the next incoming event.
How can I structure my CCL to reduce memory usage?
To minimize memory usage users can use
1. Streams
2. Windows with tight KEEP policies
3. Use additive aggregation functions
4. Watch out for aggregation indices
5. Be sure to remove unneeded data structures
Streams don't have any state and thus use very little memory. Use streams whenever possible.
Windows with KEEP policy store rows based on the keep policy. If there is a row with keep 1 row policy and when a new row comes in, the engine deletes the previous row and inserts a new row. This propagates deletion downstream and the corresponding row gets deleted in all downstream entities. Ensure you aren't keeping more data in Windows than you need.
For more on additive aggregation functions and aggregation indices, see the next question.
For data structures (dictionaries, vectors, event caches) be sure your CCL Script removes unneeded values/items.
Why do I see memory growth when my aggregate window is set to keep only 1 row?
Take a look at this CCL:
Create input stream S1
schema(symbol string,volume integer,price float) ;
Create output window w1
schema(symbol string,avg_price float)
Primary key deduced
Keep 5 rows
S1.symbol as symbol,
avg(S1.price) as avg_price
from S1
Group by S1.symbol;
Although there is only a stream and window with keep 1 row policy involved here the engine has to store all the rows for aggregation of the group by clause and this causes the memory to increase. The KEEP 1 row clause only applies to the output of the aggregation window. Behind the scenes an aggregation index is created that starts saving all the incoming events from S1.
There are a couple of ways to avoid this.
The easiest, and probably what you actually wanted, is to move the KEEP clause:
Create output window w1
schema(symbol string,avg_price float)
Primary key deduced
S1.symbol as symbol,
avg(S1.price) as avg_price
from S1 KEEP 5 rows
Group by S1.symbol;
Now the aggregation index only holds the last 5 rows, and you are aggregating over that set. You can also have a KEEP clause were it was, but that would have a different effect: only holding the rows that have most recently updated (or updated within the interval used in the KEEP).
The other is to use one of the "special" additive aggregate functions to compute each column in the aggregation window. These functions are computed incrementally and avoid the creation of an aggregation index behind the scenes. The additive functions that are "safe" to use in this context are:
So change the CCL above to avoid the creation of an ever-growing aggregation index would be:
Create input stream S1 schema(symbol string,volume integer,price float) ;
Create output window w1 schema(symbol string,volume integer,price float)
Primary key deduced
S1.symbol symbol,
valueInserted(S1.volume) volume,
valueInserted(S1.price) price
from S1
Group by S1.symbol;

These were a lucky find that I stumbled across another day. Sometimes the other confections that Jelly Belly makes, aside from their trademark jelly beans, are hard to come by. These looked very similar to those Smooth 'n Melty confections that I'm such a fan of. The rarity of this find and the possibility of finding a new treat that's a twist of a favorite sold me on the purchase, as so to speak.
These are round, flat little tablets, about the size of a quarter and are really smooth to the touch. They're attractive to look at with shiny hard shells and pretty colors in pink, yellow, white and light green.
The textue is firm, like a thick hardened frosting. The outside is hard, but gives into teeth easily when bitten into. The flavor is sweet and strongly of peppermint, extremely so. The texture is kinda grainy, sort of like candy corn but no where as nice. I tried one of each color, and they taste all the same.
I see these working as a more intense after-dinner mint, but not something I'd enjoy as a candy treat or a quick breath-freshener.

It is more acurate with them but the sting after 20 or more is noticeably more than the 38's. It is quite a handful if you are not use to it. 357 in 110 grain are mild.and easy to handle. Get the 357 and shoot 38's if you need to. at least you will have the option of 357. when I carry CW I always have the hornaday 357 hollowpoints with the polymer filled tips. They are called critical defense. anyway it is like having 2 guns.

When you have dietary restrictions, or you just want to eat better, unhealthy little monsters tend to lurk everywhere. The gluteny breadcrumbs by the toaster, the aspartame in your drink…sometimes nothing seems safe!
Newsflash: I know of something that's safe, and by "safe," I mean free of gluten, sugar, dairy, GMOs, aspartame, soy, nuts, and animal products. It's Swiss-made PUR Gum, the #1-selling chewing gum in the health food market worldwide.
PUR Gum takes its commitment to serving the health-conscious, as well as those with dietary restrictions, very seriously. Among the folks who are able to chew PUR Gum: diabetics, expecting mothers, vegans, Celiacs, and kids with nut allergies, among others. And with six tasty flavors—Wintergreen, Spearmint, Peppermint, Pomegranate Mint, and the newest flavors, Coolmint and Cinnamon—to choose from, gum has never tasted so good (and so darn good for you!).
PUR Gum is particularly proud of being aspartame-free. Aspartame, a man-made sweetener found in many other sugar-free gums, isn't exactly the healthiest ingredient—in fact, the FDA compiled a list of 92 health symptoms reported from the use of aspartame. Because PUR Gum is aspartame-free, it is safe for pregnant women to chew. And because PUR Gum contains xylitol (the lowest sweetener on the glycemic index), it doesn't cause a spike in blood sugar, and it's safe for diabetics—in fact, it may even help reduce sugar and carbohydrate cravings (an added bonus!).
Because PUR Gum is free of so many common food allergens, it is safe to bring to work and home, and to share with friends and family. You can give it to your gluten-, dairy-, soy-, and nut-free friends without fear that they'll have an adverse reaction.
In addition to being a safe gum to chew, it's also delicious. PUR Gum's new Cinnamon flavor has a bite to it, but it's not too spicy. It brings a nice mix of heat and sweet, and the flavor is very long-lasting. (For some reason, chewing the Cinnamon flavor really helps me focus at work.) And the Coolmint flavor tastes fresh and clean, with a chill blast of natural-tasting mint—the perfect thing to chew after a meal to freshen your breath. Chewing PUR Gum may help your oral health, too, as xylitol can even help prevent tooth decay and cavities.
Want to join the legions of folks who are "kicking aspartame" by choosing to chew PUR Gum? You can purchase a pack at your local Whole Foods or health food store, or online at Amazon.com. The Cinnamon and Coolmint flavors will be hitting shelves this month.
For more information on PUR Gum's flavors, ingredients, and retailers, visit www.pur-gum.com.

American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, will be the site for Game 4 of the 2014 NBA playoffs between the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks. As reported by Schuyler Dixon of AP Sports on April 27, NBA fans can catch all the action live on TNT (national TV broadcast), and streaming live at TNT-Overtime (online) beginning at 9:40 p.m. EST (8:40 p.m. CST/6:40 p.m. PST).
Leading their best-of-seven series, 2-1, the eighth-seeded Mavs will have a golden opportunity to take a commanding lead over the Spurs before the heading back to San Antonio for Game 5. To accomplish this feat, "Big D" will need Dirk Nowitzki to find his rhythm, something he's been unable to do through three games.
It's hard to believe that the 12-time NBA All-Star comes into tonight's showdown looking for his first 20-point game of the series. In fact, the seven-footer from Wurzburg, West Germany, hasn't struggled like this on the hardwood since getting his first taste of postseason play during his rookie campaign (2001).
Needless to say, Rick Carlisle and the Mavs are very fortunate to be up 2-1, despite Nowitzki's struggles, but thanks in part to Vince Carter's heroics. In the twilight of his career, the 37-year-old forward drained a fadeaway three-pointer as the clock expired in Game 3, putting his team in a very favorable position.
For the top-seeded Spurs, Gregg Popovich stated in an April 27 ESPN report that the Dallas' success is a product if one thing: Hustle. In particular, the reigning NBA Coach of the Year was quoted as saying that the "Mavs want it more" the defending Western Conference champs at this point.
Heading into a pivotal Game 4, Popovich issued a challenge to his players, encouraging them to match Dallas' intensity. As a four-time NBA champ, "Pop" is infamous for knowing what to say and when to say it. It's going to be interesting to see how his team responds, in what has to be approached as a must-win game this evening.
According to NBA oddsmakers, this Western Conference series should be knotted up by night's end. Las Vegas' latest point spreads have San Antonio favored to defeat Dallas by two buckets. The OVER/UNDER equals an even 200 points, and alternate (straight-up) money lines have the Spurs at -210, while the Mavericks' odds of an upset are valued at +175.

Updated bike check ReganTheRipper's Rocky Mountain 8/22/2011 12:44 PM
Added a product review for 2012 Rocky Mountain Flatline World Cup Full Suspension Bike 7/13/2010 4:14 PM
Rocky Mountain Flatline World Cup Awesome!
The Good: Very fast easy to ride bike, compared to any other down hill bike I've tried this one is the fastest. This bike is stable at high speeds, corners very well and can shoot you out of them fast. The suspension platform is a great design very solid in the rough stuff with the wheels glued to the ground, that being said this bike is just as good in the air with the weight they shaved off from last year.
The Bad: The very stupid horrible worst hubs in the world the shimano saints if you do buy this bike get rid of the wheels as fast as you can, besides that everything else is great.
Overall: Great bike worth every penny the rocky mountain slogan is very true '' Love the Ride" and so can you if you get on this bike even the Flatline Pro is great with a lower end specs. Ride this bike.

Python's email.Utils (or email.utils in python2.5) provides a function, make_msgid(), that accomplishes the same thing. Note, however that make_msgid() does not cache the hostname like our current code does.

In [5141] I included a copy of the source from Python's stdlib and changed it to use the cached hostname, which is a real performance improvement. The stdlib version was slightly more featureful than ours, so I felt it was worth including.

GAO's 2013 High-Risk Series:
An Update
GAO-13-359T: Published: Feb 14, 2013. Publicly Released: Feb 14, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6806
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In February 2011, GAO detailed 30 high-risk areas. Sufficient progress has been made to remove the high-risk designation from two areas.
- Management of Interagency Contracting. Improvements include (1) continued progress made by agencies in addressing identified deficiencies, (2) establishment of additional management controls, (3) creation of a policy framework for establishing new interagency contracts, and (4) steps taken to address the need for better data on these contracts.
- Internal Revenue Service Business Systems Modernization. We are removing this area because progress has been made in addressing significant weaknesses in information technology and financial management capabilities. IRS delivered the initial phase of its cornerstone tax processing project and began the daily processing and posting of individual taxpayer accounts in January 2012. This enhanced tax administration and improved service by enabling faster refunds for more taxpayers, allowing more timely account updates, and faster issuance of taxpayer notices. IRS has put in place close to 80 percent of the practices needed for an effective investment management process, including all of the processes needed for effective project oversight.
While these two areas have been removed from the High Risk List, GAO will continue to monitor them.
This year, GAO has added two areas.
- Limiting the Federal Government's Fiscal Exposure by Better Managing Climate Change Risks. Climate change creates significant financial risks for the federal government, which owns extensive infrastructure, such as defense installations; insures property through the National Flood Insurance Program; and provides emergency aid in response to natural disasters. The federal government is not well positioned to address the fiscal exposure presented by climate change, and needs a government wide strategic approach with strong leadership to manage related risks.
- Mitigating Gaps in Weather Satellite Data. Potential gaps in environmental satellite data beginning as early as 2014 and lasting as long as 53 months have led to concerns that future weather forecasts and warnings--including warnings of extreme events such as hurricanes, storm surges, and floods--will be less accurate and timely. A number of decisions are needed to ensure contingency and continuity plans can be implemented effectively.
In the past 2 years notable progress has been made in the vast majority of areas that remain on GAO's High Risk List. This progress is due to the combined efforts of the Congress through oversight and legislation, the Office of Management and Budget through its leadership and coordination, and the agencies through their efforts to take corrective actions to address longstanding problems and implement related GAO recommendations.
Why GAO Did This Study
The federal government is the world's largest and most complex entity, with about $3.5 trillion in outlays in fiscal year 2012 funding a broad array of programs and operations. GAO maintains a program to focus attention on government operations that it identifies as high risk due to their greater vulnerabilities to fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement or the need for transformation to address economy, efficiency, or effectiveness challenges. Since 1990, more than one-third of the areas previously designated as high risk have been removed from the list because sufficient progress was made to address the problems identified.
This biennial update describes the status of high-risk areas listed in 2011 and identifies any new high-risk area needing attention by Congress and the executive branch. Solutions to high-risk problems offer the potential to save billions of dollars, improve service to the public, and strengthen the performance and accountability of the U.S. government.
What GAO Recommends
This report contains GAOs views on progress made and what remains to be done to bring about lasting solutions for each high-risk area. Perseverance by the executive branch in implementing GAOs recommended solutions and continued oversight and action by Congress are essential to achieving progress. GAO is dedicated to continue working with Congress and the executive branch to help ensure additional progress is made.

Terrell Stanley
Feb. 17, 2014
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Terrell Stanley, an East Carolina football player who was seriously injured during an automobile accident on Feb. 12, has been upgraded to good condition according to Vidant Medical Center Monday afternoon.
The rising junior had been listed in critical condition after being transported to VMC's Emergency Room from the scene on U.S. Highway 264 Alternate.
"Those who know Terrell fully understand he is a warrior with a relentless and passionate approach to life, both on and off the field," ECU Head Football Coach Ruffin McNeill said. "I can speak for our entire Pirate family in extending our deepest gratitude for everyone who has Terrell in their thoughts and prayers."

San Bruno, Calif. -- Walmart on Friday kicked off its online holiday deals, a month earlier than usual, and announced that it is offering free shipping on about 99% of its online items this year for orders over $50. (Last year, only about 15% of its assortment qualified for free shipping). The moves come as retailers get ready for what is expected to be an extremely competitive season, one marked by intense promotional activity. Retailers are also challenged by this year's calendar: Thanksgiving falls late, on Nov. 28, resulting in six fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas compared to last year.
The chain's online sales event on November 1 features some 300 early-bird specials and includes items from JVC 42-inch LED televisions for $299 to Xelio 10.1-inch tablets for $49. According to the retailer, those are Walmart.com's lowest prices in those categories.
Customers can learn about Walmart's holiday deals through the season by signing up for the retailer's emails, liking Walmart on Facebook on or downloading the mobile app.
"We know that our customers start shopping for the holidays on Nov. 1 because historically our traffic spikes the day after Halloween," said Joel Anderson, president and CEO of Walmart.com.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – What happened to Gretchen Rossi & Alexis Bellino on Real Housewives of Orange County, and what happened to Kari Wells on Married to Medicine? When RHOC and Married to Medicine return to Bravo within days, gone will be Gretchen Rossi, Alexis Bellino, and Kari Wells. But what happened behind the scenes for both shows? LALATE can report exclusively that a lot of the editing toward the end of the last RHOC season was not exactly accurate for Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley's life. As to Kari Wells, tensions with the show's creator Mariah Huq were extensively detailed after the last reunion show.
First, the future of Radio Slade with Slade Smiley was not accurately depicted by Bravo in the final clip of RHOC last season, LALATE can exclusively report. RHOC producers told viewers that the show was cancelled. Such was not the case. LALATE has reported earlier in 2013 that the show had grown in popularity and has become the highest rated hour on the station. As result Radio Slade went into syndication. "Krantz Media Group President/CEO Gary Krantz announced today they have signed an agreement with Slade D. Smiley/Grayson Entertainment to manage syndication and distribution of popular entertainment/pop culture based radio show through its content syndication division, KMG Networks." But in the final RHOC clip, Bravo told viewers wrongly that it was cancelled, prompted Slade to retweet the LALATE syndication story to correct the record.
Second, the engagement of Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley was inaccurately depicted for viewers. As viewers watched Vicki have a Christmas party, Gretchen and Slade entered with smiles. Bravo edited that scene and ran it combined with Gretchen and Slade engagement scene. But the couple's engagement was not until months later in the spring.
On or around April 18, 2013, LALATE exclusively reported that the Rossi and Smiley got engaged in Los Angeles. At the time, LALATE wondered how the footage could fit into the current season's storyline, which was shot in winter 2012. By the time Rossi was proposing to Smiley, RHOA had already shot its entire season, cast had told LALATE exclusively.

At the time of Rossi's April 2013 engagement, LALATE questioned how Bravo could get the Spring engagement into a show filmed during winter 2012, noting that "the footage may not fit into the current season of RHOC, unless Bravo has since made some dramatic programming shuffle." Instead, Bravo has decided to filmed dramatically out of order footage and insert it months out of order.

In recent months, Vicki Gunvalson was asked on Twitter "Vicki you got what you wanted, getting rid of Gretchen and becoming Queen Sheba." Vicki responded "Excuse me?.. I didn't get rid of Gretchen! Bravo did." When Tamra Barney was asked "Will you and @GretchenRossi ever be friends again? And is she going to be on S9?", Barney responded "NO & No." As to Alexis, Gretchen told news this year "Lots happened and it just was too painful 4 me. Never talked about it on camera."

Meantime on Twitter, Kari Wells' caption is "Star of Bravo's Married to Medicine" featuring images from the show. Wells is not however returning to Married to Medicine Season 2.
Last season, Kari falsely claimed show creator Mariah Huq would be divorced by her husband. That false statement would later prompt an apology. But Mariah remarked "As for me and Kari, well I think it's suffice to say that friendship is completely over. As far as I'm concerned, the life support plug has been officially pulled!".

FRESNO, Calif. --- The Fresno State men's tennis team was unable to hold on to its early lead, falling 4-3 to No. 69 New Mexico in a Mountain West matchup on Friday afternoon at Spalding G. Wathen Tennis Center.
"I'm absolutely gutted for the guys today, they put it on the line," said assistant coach James McKie. "New Mexico is one of the best teams in our conference and we were right there to win it."
The Bulldogs began the day strong, winning the doubles point for the second consecutive match with wins on courts one and three.
In the No. 1 spot junior Sai Kartik Nakireddi and freshman John Darmstaedter defeated New Mexico's James Hignett and Samir Iftikhar (8-6). After the Lobos took the doubles match on court two, the Bulldog rallied back with an 8-6 win on court three to clinch the doubles point from teammates Ethan Lopez and Nikolas Papic.
The Lobos grabbed the first singles point on court five to tie the score at 1-1. The Bulldogs then scored the next two points on courts one and four to gain a 3-2 lead.
With the match split 3-3, the deciding point came down final set on court three. Darmstaedter split the first two sets with New Mexico's Rodolfo Jauregui, sending the match into a final set to decide the MW dual. With momentum on their side, the Lobos charged through the third set to seal a 4-3 conference win over the Bulldogs.
"We have to learn from this match, move on and get right back to work on Sunday against UC Santa Barabara," added Mckie. "These situations are only going to make us tougher."
The Bulldogs (3-7, 0-2 MW) have a quick turnaround as they are set to travel to face UC Santa Barbara on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m.

The Daily Start-Up: Symplified Snags $20M To Manage Cloud-Based Apps
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
As more companies turn to cloud-based applications, there's a bigger demand to secure and manage access to those, leading to several recent fundings. The latest recipient is Symplified, which said it has secured $20 million in Series C financing. New investor Ignition Partners led the round, with participation from Allegis Capital, Granite Ventures and Quest Software.
Joule Unlimited hopes to use the $70 million it just raised to prove that its method of creating fuels out of dirty water, waste gases and sunlight is cheap and feasible. Many companies that produce renewable fuels rely on expensive feedstocks, such as corn and sugarcane, as well as wood chips and other cellulosic biomass. Joule is one of several start-ups trying to avoid the use of biomass altogether.
Also in today's VentureWire: Code 42 Software has raised its first outside funding–a $52.5 million Series A round led by Accel Partners, investing from its Big Data Fund–for data back-up software…social gifting company Bohemian Wrappsody, which does business as Wrapp, has secured $5 million from Greylock Partners in an extension of its November Series A round…and Jim Kim, who left his position as partner at Khosla Ventures last year, is launching a growth-stage firm called Formation 8, which may also include another former member of the Khosla team, Gideon Yu, in an advisory role.

Elsewhere around the Web:
A founder of venture-backed yogurt chain Pinkberry has been accused of beating a homeless man with a tire iron. Prosecutors in Los Angeles said Young Lee was offended by the man's sexually explicit tattoo. Lee has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Pinkberry posted a statement on its blog saying that Lee is no longer involved with the company, which is backed by Maveron.
Tech companies are demonstrating their clout in Washingtonas prospects for passage of Internet antipiracy legislation dim. The pending bills have been widely opposed by venture capitalists. Today, a number of Internet sites, including Wikipedia, are shutting down or turning Web pages black to protest the measures, known as the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, and the Protect IP Act, or PIPA.
Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang severs his ties with the company, leaving the board shortly after Yahoo hired a new CEO. Speculation abounds about the rest of the board, including the future of Chairman Roy Bostock.

The Americana Music Association has always been an organization that celebrated not only roots music artists, but musicians from a diverse array of genres who influenced modern roots music. Today's announcement of the four artists being honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards at the 2014 Americana Music Awards, being held Sept. 17 at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium, continued that tradition. This year's list includes a classic country superstar, a country-rock pioneer, a bluesman with world music influences, and a tejano trailblazer.
Receiving the Spirit of Americana Free Speech in Music Award is country rocker Jackson Browne. The Spirit of Americana Award is co-presented by the First Amendment Center and honors artists who use the platform of their music to promote social change. Jackson Browne, in addition to being a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer known for hits like "Runnin' On Empty" and "Doctor My Eyes" has also been a tireless voice for numerous issues. Browne has performed on behalf of organizations like Farm Aid and Vote for Change, and is the co-founder of Musicians United for Safe Energy.
The Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting goes to Loretta Lynn. One of the most popular female country artists of all time, Lynn's work has also profoundly influenced multiple generations of Americana artists. Lynn's signature hit, "Coal Miner's Daughter", portrayed an unvarnished look at life in rural Kentucky. But what made Lynn so popular among Americana artists was her willingness to challenge the conventions of country music in her songwriting. Her work consistently rattled conservative country establishment with her honesty. From the then-taboo issue of birth control in "The Pill", to the double standard of divorce in "Rated X" to opening up the secrets of the bedroom in "Don't Come Home Drinkin' With Lovin' On Your Mind", Lynn has never shied away from controversy and her lyrics are a window into history's treatment of women.
Tejano accordian master Flaco Jimenez seems an unlikely recipient for the Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist, but Jimenez's music has always transcended genre boundaries. While best known as a pioneer of the conjunto musical, the 75 year old musician has worked with everyone from Dr. John to Ry Cooder. Country fans will recognize his work from Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens' "Streets of Bakersfield."
Throughout his 40 year career, Taj Mahal has embraced the spirit of Americana by refusing to let genre dictate where his music goes, and it is for this reason he will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance. Emerging as a blues musician, Taj Mahal quickly embraced the cultural melting pot of his adopted home of Los Angeles. A student of musical history, Taj Mahal began to explore the African and West Caribbean origins of blues music, as well as elements of jazz, gospel, zydeco, and numerous other genres. Taj Mahal remains a popular collaborator to this day. Just over a month ago he co-led a Superjam performance at the Bonnaroo festival with Derek Trucks, David Hidalgo, and Chaka Khan.
The Americana Music Awards and Honors are part of the Americana Music Festival and Conference, which will be held Sept 17-21 in venues throughout Nashville. Showcase performers for the festival include Buddy Miller, Todd Snider, and Paul Thorn. You can find a full list of performers here.

Hundreds of women unite to fight for Manchester's hearts
- 31 March 2014 10:00
- Posted by @MCFC
On Mothering Sunday (30 March), hundreds of women and their families came together to take part in a pedometer challenge at the Etihad Stadium to lead the fight for every heartbeat in Manchester.
The 'City.Heart.Walk' event marked the launch of a partnership between Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) and the British Heart Foundation (BHF) that will help people reduce their risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) – the nation's single biggest killer.
The first event aimed to raise awareness of the number of women in Manchester affected by heart disease, whilst helping to bust the myth that only men die from heart problems.
CHD is one of the biggest killers of women in the UK, with an estimated 41,000 women suffering from the condition in Greater Manchester. It claims the lives of more than 30,000 women in the UK every year and 900,000 are currently living with the condition across the country.
But taking steps to improve your lifestyle - such as doing more physical activity, eating a better diet and quitting smoking - can significantly cut your risk of developing CHD in the first place. The prevalence of obesity, physical inactivity and smoking in Greater Manchester are all above the national average.
The BHF say 10,000 steps a day (about five miles) can help you improve your heart health and maintain a healthy weight. The 'City.Heart.Walk' event provided an opportunity for women to learn about the risks of heart disease in a fun and empowering way. Women and their families took on one of three walking challenges with free pedometers to measure their progress towards their 10,000th step.
Gail Blakey, 59, from Denton came along to the event with her three children and enjoyed using the pedometer.
"I've learnt a lot about heart disease today and what practical things I can do to reduce the risk for all the family," she said. "I'm going to use the pedometer to measure how many steps I do every day from now on and make sure I hit that 10,000th step."
Mike Green, Head of the Club's foundation City in the Community said: "Community has always been at the centre of the Club and we're committed to tackling issues facing local residents. Today has been a great event and has showcased how two passionate organisations working together can help make a real difference.
"The partnership will draw upon unique expertise from the Club and the BHF to provide free, accessible and knowledgeable advice and initiatives to local residents."
Ceri Jones, Head of Heart Health Resources at the BHF, said: "It's been fantastic to see women and families from all over Manchester unite and take steps to improve their heart health.
"I hope many of the same families are now inspired to build more walking in to their daily routines. Coronary heart disease is the nation's single biggest killer but the message of this unique partnership is that there are simple changes you can make to reduce your risk of developing this potentially life-threatening condition."
With a Zumba warm up, smoothie-making bike, football activities and a kids zone on hand to build up those extra steps, it was a great day out for all the family. To find out about the steps you can take to cut your risk of heart disease visit: www.bhf.org.uk/prevention

I have been eating Mekong Flower organic Brown Rice (from Cambodia) for about 4 months now, and it is the healthiest brown rice I can find. I switched to it after suffering severe arsenic poisoning from all the U.S.-grown rice products I was eating (organic brown rice, organic brown rice pasta and organic millet-rice bread). The problem with brown rice is that it is ALWAYS contaminated with arsenic, a toxic heavy metal, no matter what country it is grown in. It is inherent to this grain, which must be grown in a water-flooded soil; this allows large amounts of normally present arsenic to be sucked up into the plant. "Though arsenic can enter soil or water due to weathering of arsenic-containing minerals in the earth, humans are more to blame than Mother Nature for arsenic contamination in the U.S. today, according to the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. The U.S. is the world's leading user of arsenic, and since 1910 about 1.6 million tons have been used for agricultural and industrial purposes, about half of it only since the mid-1960s. Residues from the decades of use of lead-arsenate insecticides linger in agricultural soil today, even though their use was banned in the 1980s." From http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2012/11/arsenic-in-your-food/index.htm So in my local health food store I found brown rices from overseas (I now get them from iHerb at lower cost): Madagascar Pink rice was very good for me for about 3 months, but it is milled so it is only 2/3 whole, and 1/3 white. Then I tried Volcano Rice from Indonesia, but that is more than 1/2 white rice, so I switched to Organic Brown Mekong Flower Rice, 100% whole grain! I eat it for my high protein lunch with low-salt Goat Creme Cheese and Pumpkin Seed Butter. Delicious, filling, and healthy!!
So delicious and nutritious. In addition to being gluten free and suitable for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance, this ancient brown rice is rich in protein, dietary fiber, niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6, thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid (vitamin B9), manganese, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, iron, calcium, potas sium, molybdenum, phytosterols, antioxidants and flavonoids, and is beneficial for people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, heart disease, gastritis, acid reflux, nausea, indigestion, osteoporosis, arthritis, rheumatism and even cancer: it helps stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, prevents blood spikes keeping you full longer, aids digestion, prevents heartburn and acid reflux, increases appetite, soothes the stomach lining, reduces colon inflammation, normalizes blood pressure, lowers triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protects against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, helps maintain healthy bones and teeth, and even reduces the risk of cancer. I love this organic brown rice: not only is it delicious and great in different recipes, but also it helps normalize my cholesterol levels and blood pressure and relieves the symptoms of my acid reflux and gastritis. Wonderful product. Highly recommended.

Win Perry can measure his Hudson Valley heritage in centuries: "My ancestors have been farmers and boat builders and were descended from the earliest European settlers in Rockland County." As President of the Historical Society of the Nyacks for the last 15 years, Perry works tirelessly to commemorate the heritage of all the families that call the Nyacks home. This building that houses Nyack's historical society bears witness to the depth of Perry's connection to the village and reminds us of the benefits of historic preservation to the future well-being of our community.
An exhibition of photographs of the construction of the original Tappan Zee Bridge by Leonard Cooke will open on Sunday, September 13, 2015, and will be on display on the Historical Society's new schedule: Sundays from 1- 4p.

Readers may recall a handsome pup who was rescued from the Harris County, Texas, Animal Control in early December.
The pup, dubbed "Foyle," had a gaping wound in his face - it is believed that he had been struck with a shovel.
Foyle not only survived the devastating injury, but he has recovered thanks to extraordinary veterinary care from Dr. Pickle at the Alvin-Friendswood Veterinary Clinic, and the support of his rescuers.
Today, the final piece of Foyle's rescue saga has yet to be completed...he needs a home.
Robin Weill, who played a critical part in Foyle's rescue, emailed:
He is currently with The Texas Dogfather in Katy, Texas. He will complete his training very soon and is ready for adoption. Both he and his brother need foster or adoption homes.
Please take a moment to share Foyle's story - if you are unable to offer this little survivor a home, please pass the story along with the hopes that it reaches the right person who can add this lovely boy to their life.
