Jeff,

Would appreciate it if you could pass along any new updates to the planned GTAS Patches release strategy/dates. It seems that due to the the GTAS delay by OMB/Treasury, the patch release strategy has changed (since we haven't seen any come out since Phase 1).

Treasury is pushing us to test.

Thanks!

Larry

With respect to the US Treasury Payment Information Repository (PIR) system, it is my understanding that the PIR file format was published in July 2012. I understand Oracle Development is reviewing the design with accordance and cooperation of the US Treasury and will release more information as it becomes available.

Jeff,

We will soon have a requirement to interface with the upcoming US Treasury Payment Information Repository (PIR) system (http://fms.treas.gov/pir/index.html). It seems that PIR will serve as a "bridge" for Non-Treasury Disbursing entities to get their detail payment information into GWA. I haven't seen any slides or anything from Federal Development on any intent to build a standard interface for PIR, but just thought I'd reach-out and see if you knew of/could share if there are any plans for a seeded PIR interface to be released in the future.

Thanks!

Larry

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for posting. FYI, if any other customers would be interested on jumping on an enhancement request to help out further in this area, suggest that customers jump on ER 13068786, which requested payment functionality that would allow payment terms to include separate payment due dates from the date at which interest would begin accruing. If the Federal community could utilize such a functionality, then we wouldn't have to run separate payment batches for large vs small businesses to comply with the OMB 11-31 or manually reschedule all the payment dates for small business supplier payments.

Rick:

Yes. Included with the BI Applications, Procure and Spend Analytics, are dozens of performance measures (procurement effectiveness, po price and contract leakage, etc.) tracked against the document in CLM and APS. In addition to the pre-built metrics, one could add a number of organization-specific measures (e.g., unique compliance metrics, etc.).

I hope this helps. If you have more specific questions, post them here, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for posting. FYI, in addition, the first R12 GTAS Patch is now out.

Patch 13612668, MOS Note 1457015.1, for whoever is ready to start testing and getting more familiar with the changes.

Thank you for the kind words. Info on GTAS forthcoming. I will also see when we can get you the collateral from this week's customer forum.

Jeff - Nice to see the new Federal blog!! Hopefully, will be a good additional avenue to get out info to the Federal Financials community.

If there's a way to post any of the key points/collateral from next week's meeting that would great for those of us who aren't in DC & won't be able to make the update meeting.

We'd also like to start getting smarter on and being able to test the new GTAS functionality as soon as possible! If there's anything you can share on that, it would be great.

Todd Herbert: I'm Down
I'm Down
Todd Herbert (tenor sax)
The Tree of Life (Metropolitan MR 1128)
Todd Herbert (tenor sax),
Anthony Wonsey (piano), Dwayne Burno (bass), Jason Brown (drums).
Composed by Todd Herbert.
Recorded: New York, October 29, 2007
Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
This CD's notes claim that Herbert "takes John Coltrane as a point of departure in presenting his own music," but Herbert seems to have not yet left the station marked "Late-'50s Trane." The track "I'm Down," for example, is a slow blues reminiscent of "Blue Train." With a deep, mournful sound, Herbert repeats the theme once before initiating his solo. His lines are languid for the most part, with an occasional spark that never really ignites. Herbert's phrases flow, his attack is varied, but it all comes across like secondhand Coltrane—above average technically, but not at all original. Pianist Wonsey's contribution is two-sided. His comping for Herbert is stiff and sounds like it's being played on an out-of-tune piano, yet his bluesy, vigorous solo holds one's interest. Bassist Burno's improv is just adequate, while Brown's statement on drums is more engaging. All in all, Herbert, who toured with Charles Earland and worked with Freddie Hubbard, has a long way to go before anyone can definitively say that he has developed into a saxophonist with an individual style or approach.

Just say no to juvenile pullovers with the Mango Embry Sweatshirt ($80). Yeah, this stacked cowl is definitely our anti-hoodie. For Fall, comfy does not equal slouchy, and what we say goes.

Samsung Galaxy Pop Plus S5570i (a Galaxy Mini version) shows up in India
Last year, Samsung launched the Galaxy Mini S5570 under a different name in India: Galaxy Pop. Now it looks like a slightly upgraded version of the handset is about to be introduced.
Called Samsung Galaxy Pop Plus S5570i, the new phone has appeared over at Indian retailer Flipkart, and it doesn't look different from the original model. However, it comes with a more powerful processor (832MHz vs. 600MHz).
The weird part is that Flipkart says the Galaxy Pop Plus S5570i runs Android 2.2 Froyo – but this has to be a mistake, since the older S5570 has been already updated to Android 2.3 Gignerbread in some markets.
Flipkart is asking 8,330 INR (about $169) for the Samsung Galaxy Pop Plus S5570i, without saying when the device will be available. I guess it will happen soon anyway.

Imesch, P; Goehrens, A; Fink, D; Fedier, A (2011). MLH1-deficient HCT116 colon tumor cells exhibit resistance to the cytostatic and cytotoxic effect of the poly(A) polymerase inhibitor cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine)in vitro. Oncology Letters, 3(2):441-444.

Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) is an inhibitor of poly(A) polymerase (PAP), an enzyme crucial to mRNA 3'-end processing, which produces the shortening of poly(A) tails, leading to the destabilization of mRNAs. Cordycepin inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in tumor cells, indicating its antitumor activity. Defective 3'-end processing is associated with hypersensitivity to UV treatment. We investigated the effects of cordycepin on proliferation and apoptosis in MLH1‑deficient and MLH1-proficient HCT116 colon tumor cells. MLH1 is a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein involved in the processing of damaged DNA. Cells with defective MMR show resistance to certain anticancer drugs. The results showed that MLH1-deficient HCT116 cells are 2-fold less sensitive to the cytostatic effect of cordycepin, as compared to MLH1-proficient cells. This reduced sensitivity to cordycepin in MLH1-deficient cells was associated with reduced upregulation of the cell cycle inhibitor p21. MLH1-deficient cells also exhibited reduced susceptibility to apoptosis upon treatment with cordycepin, as demonstrated by the reduced PARP-1 cleavage. Our findings showed that MLH1-deficient HCT116 colon tumor cells are resistant to the cytostatic and cytotoxic effect of cordycepin, indicating a possible involvement of MMR in mRNA polyadenylation. The findings also suggest that cordycepin is not suitable to therapeutically encounter tumor cells lacking MLH1 expression.

Hi Guys, my xbla game was finally released on june 2nd and seems to be doing well. Here are some favorable reviews. All of the music was composed in FL Studio and all sfx were designed in fl studio. The only instance in which Fl Studio was not used was in creating seamless looping sound effects in which case Sonar was used.
[html]<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/P58u3hMGfiw?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/P58u3hMGfiw?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>[/html]
When it comes to the audio in this game, it's second to none as well. While of course we don't have the original voices of the Peanuts, the voiceover work is superb and really immerses you into the storyline and truly makes you feel like the old gang is back. I was simply amazed at the quality soundtrack you have trumpeting in your ear while in menu screens or in a heated dogfight. The music really gave you a sense of the time period as well as the courage and determination that our hero Snoopy would display so proudly.
http://www.destructoid.com/seriously-ch ... 5298.phtml
More than anything else, the sound design really stood out to me. Let me repeat that: the sound design in a game about Snoopy was something other than terrible. I don't know what to believe anymore! Best of all,Snoopy Flying Ace is very reasonably priced at $10. If nothing else, go download the demo.
http://www.multiplayergames.com/2010/06 ... lying-ace/
Only a single game this week, mostly because its awesomeness would instantly render any other game moot.
Still depressed about losing the ability to play Crimson Skies online due to the original Xbox Live going down? Leave it to Snoopy to help you out. This fantastic arcade flight title is everything you would hope it to be, with smooth, consistent flight mechanics, satisfying weapons, great music, and freakin' Snoopy. Online play is loaded with basic deathmatch modes, and newcomers like Rugby. The game is a visual stunner, and a decent length single player campaign (and co-op missions) make this a "duhâ€Â

When faced with a radical crisis, when the old way of being in the world, of interacting with each other and with the realm of nature doesn't work anymore, when survival is threatened by seemingly insurmountable problems, an individual life-form -- or a species -- will either die or become extinct or rise above the limitations of its condition through an evolutionary leap. ― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

On Jan. 1, 2014, it was announced that ZZ Top has not slowed down when it comes to touring, and the band is already busy performing into the new year. So much so that the band's tour dates are filling up for 2014!
Take note of ZZ Top's busy schedule. Some of their tour dates are listed below.
ZZ Top is known for its strong blues roots, but the band's musical style has changed over the years. Their musical genre is still considered as blues, but rock and hard rock come in to the blend as well.
When it comes to rock and roll the band proved themselves a decade ago, as they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
There have been other ZZ Top band members in years past. Currently the band has three musicians who have been together since the late 60s.
- Billy Gibbons – vocals, guitar (1969–present)
- Dusty Hill – bass, keyboards, vocals (1969–present)
- Frank Beard – drums, percussion, (1969–present)
Recent tour locations that the band has been on were in the more southern states. However, the majority of ZZ Top's tours coming up, including those in March, will be in a much colder location - that of Canada!
- March 7 - Aspen, Colo.
- March 8 - Denver, Colo.
- March 12 - Brandon, MB Canada
- March 13 - Winnipeg, MB Canada
- March 14 - Moose Jaw, SK Canada
- March 16 - Cold Lake, AB Canada
- March 17 - Calgary, AB Canada
- March 18 - Edmonton, AB Canada
- March 20 - Kelowna, BC Canada
- March 21 - Victoria, BC Canada
- March 22 - Vancouver, BC Canada
- March 29 - Laughlin, Nev.
More dates, locations, events and other details are available at ZZTop.com, plus enjoy the band at Videos and on Facebook.
Video above is about the band cancelling one of their tours. Also enjoy slideshow of ZZ Top on different tours!

Home / LSA Faculty & Staff / Student Academic Affairs / Grade Grievance /
Sweetland Center for Writing
Updated and Approved August 2012
Two principles should be clearly understood as part of the context of any grade grievance:
- A grade given by a faculty member may be changed only by that faculty member (Faculty Code B 5.01). Sweetland's grade grievance procedures are intended to result in a recommendation, for or against a change, to the appropriate faculty member.
- While Sweetland wishes to see demonstrably unfair grades rectified, it will not automatically invoke the full procedure described below for every grade grievance. For example, a grade grievance based on the argument that one instructor's grading standards are stricter than those of others will normally not be pursued.
When a student believes a grade is unfair and wishes to invoke the Sweetland grade grievance procedure, these steps are to be followed:
1. Meet with the Instructor
The student should first confer with her/his instructor within the first 15 University business days of the first full term (i.e. Fall or Winter) following the term in which the disputed grade was issued to make sure that both are aware of all the pertinent facts and to identify the issues that are in dispute. For example, if a student is challenging a grade received in winter term 2012, the student must meet with the instructor before the end of the fifth week of fall term 2012.
2. Write an appeal to the Associate Director
If the first step does not lead to a resolution, the student should then write a letter to Naomi Silver, Associate Director of Sweetland, detailing her/his objections and send it with both clean copies and original graded copies of all her/his written work for the course, and any other relevant work (e.g., new media assignments), to Molly Bancroft, Sweetland Center for Writing, 1310 North Quad, 1285 or firstname.lastname@example.com. These materials must be received before the end of the fifth week of classes in the first full term following the term in which the disputed grade was issued.
3. Sweetland's Associate Director requests written response from the Instructor
Upon receipt of the written grade grievance, the Associate Director will ask the instructor to provide a written summary restating how the final grade was determined and to respond to the specific claims made by the student.
4. Sweetland's Associate Director reviews materials
If the Associate Director determines there is insufficient evidence for the grade grievance, the matter is closed and the original grade stands.
If the Associate Director determines that the objections presented by the student point to possible unfairness, she will recommend to the Director of the Sweetland Center for Writing that a Grade Grievance Committee be appointed. Such a committee normally will consist of the Associate Director, at least one other faculty member, and at least one undergraduate.
5. Hearing with the Grade Grievance Committee, when necessary
Within two weeks of the appointment of the Grade Grievance Committee, the committee will arrange a hearing at which both parties to the dispute will be asked to appear. No additional persons will be permitted at the hearing without the advance approval of the committee, which, if it agrees to such persons, will see to it that the same privileges are extended to both sides. Prior to this hearing, both the student filing the grade grievance and the respective instructor will be provided with copies of the written student complaint and the instructor's summary.
The purpose of the hearing will be to allow the committee to inform itself as fully as possible. The student will first be asked to present the basis of her/his complaint, the instructor will then be asked to explain how grades were determined, followed by an open period for questions to all parties.
6. Grade Grievance Committee Decisions
After the hearing, the Grade Grievance Committee will have ten University business days to arrive at a recommendation.
If the committee decides that a grade change is not warranted, the Associate Director will inform the student and the instructor in writing and the matter is considered closed.
If the committee recommends a grade change, the Associate Director will inform the instructor. The instructor will be asked to respond in writing within five University business days to the Associate Director indicating whether or not she/he will abide by the recommendation from the committee. If the instructor agrees to a grade change, the Associate Director will inform the student in writing of the instructor's decision and the student's final grade will be changed.
If the instructor does not accept the recommendation to change the grade, the original grade stands. The Associate Director will inform the student in writing of this decision and the matter is considered closed.

Father's Day brings special memories of dad teaching his son to catch fish and his daughter to dance. According to the new mentality I've been reading online the only thing dad wants on Father's Day is not to be within ear shot of his offspring.
The Wall Street Journal's Zach Valenti may be onto something since there are many 18-31 year old children still boarding at home with their parents. He gives 'Father's Day Advice to Freeloaders' to stock the fridge and surrender the remotes. His advice is simple; put dad first before oneself on dads day.
That's right, get up early, make dear ole dad's coffee and wait for him to get his shower first before getting your own. Then do the unimaginable make his breakfast, mow the lawn, take out the trash and go to the grocery and buy his favorite booze.
Then strain yourself and spring for the food today, buying his favorite steaks and all the fixin's and, if dad will let you fire up the barbecue grill, treat pops to your grilling talents. When all is said and done, clean up then disappear somewhere else for the night and let him have the remote and mom for the rest of the evening.
This by far is the best day dad could receive and he might not mind you loafing around getting by on minimum wage and minimum house chores for another year...maybe.

SK, a talented rapper and producer from Northern Virginia, has released a new single entitled "Missed The World". This insightful song details the journey of a young musician embarking on a new life. If the song seems to be autobiographical - it's not an accident. SK himself is an ambitious young man with unlimited musical potential.
SK, who was born in Togo and raised in Sierra Leone, likes to blend music from his native African culture with other genres like hip-hop, jazz and even rock and roll. His latest album, Rock N Roll Voodoo, is a similarly hard-hitting concoction of rap and rock.
SK's reputation for creating eclectic sounds has allowed him the opportunity to produce tracks for major label rappers Pusha T, Young Buck, Yo Gotti, Project Pat and Shawty Lo. SK also has placements on DJ Rob's popular Target Squad mixtape series.
SK is steadily building a loyal fan base by performing at local venues such as Fur, Park and Empire. He has also performed at national music festivals like Lollapalooza and SXSW (peep the B.o.B. and DJ Premier shout-outs).
With his song "Missed The World" already getting national recognition, and his video for "Officer" featured on World Star Hip-Hop and other prominent hip-hop websites. SK is confident that 2014 will be his breakout year.
For more information about SK's music release and performance schedules, follow him on Facebook (Renn Republik) or Twitter (@SKMuzik).

REVIEW: The Vampire Shrink by Lynda Hilburn
The Vampire Shrink by Lynda Hilburn
(Vampire Psychologist #1)
Quercus (Sept 2011)
Paperback, 400 Pages
Paranormal Romance
The Vampire Shrink got off to a really good start for me. With Kismet the psychologist who specialises in treating people who believe in vampires, who most certainly does not believe in vampires herself. With the trend for goths and fake fangs, Kismet believes this new specialism might be the key to her career.
When Kismet begins helping a young girl who frequents vampire clubs, she becomes introduced to 800 year old vampire Deveraux and sucked into a whole new world she never believed existed. As well a serious amount of trouble, trouble that also leads FBI Agent Alan Stevens to her door.
I really enjoyed Kismet's role as a Psychologist in this book, it was amusing to watch her try and navigate through her patients conditions and reading her internal dialogue as she did so. It added a different slant to the story.
I ran a little hot and cold with Kismet, I started to really buy into the blossoming love story with her and one character and then something happens and she virtually jumps into bed with another. The explanation behind why this was ok, was that she was a modern women and she hadn't committed to anyone. Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, but it left me feeling a little disenchanted, rather than buying into a potential love triangle. In general I came away thinking that the love story part of this story was quite muddled.
I think the setting of the novel and the rules around the paranormal world needed further definition, at times it left me somewhat confused. There are a couple of strange scenes in this book, a particular one with a protection ceremony springs to mind. That seemed a little weird and also left me wondering what on earth had exactly happened. I felt like the author needed to have spent a little more time building and defining this.
Overall I really enjoyed this novel and I look forward to seeing where the series goes now that Kismet believes in vampires. I think the psychologist angle could make it both amusing and different from other books in this genre.

Axel-In-Charge: Facing the 'Divided' Marvel NOW! Future
Comic Books
My pal Jason has been collecting sketches of South Park characters as members of the various colored Lantern Corps that befit each of their respective personalities. He was nice enough to suggest that I feature them here, so enjoy!
Green Lanterns Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski & Wendy Testaburger by Jason Quinones
Orange Lantern Eric Cartman & Mr. Kitty by Katie Cook
White Lantern Kenny McCormick by Krissy Puff
Indigo Tribe Leopold "Butters" Stotch by Sean Von Gormann
Blue Lanterns Timmy Burch & Jimmy Valmer by Jennifer Weber
Star Sapphire Big Gay Al by Mindy Steffen and Mindy Indy
Black Lantern Jerome "Chef" McElroy by Steve Becker
Sinestro Corps/Yellow Lantern Trent Boyett by Agnes Garbowska
Red Lantern Mr. Hat & Mr. Garrison by Chris Flick
Check out more of awesome sketches that Jason has collected over the years here!
This would be more interesting if I knew (or cared about) what the colors meant. I also don't know who Trent Boyett is. Anyway, some of these sketches are pretty darn good. Maybe someday I'll have my own collection of themed sketches.
They are pretty cool.
The colors mean:
Green: Willpower.
Red: Rage.
Orange: Avarice.
Yellow: Fear.
Blue: Hope.
Indigo: Compassion.
Violet: Love.
Black: Death.
Oh, forgot White: Life.
Rainbow Lanterns: Dumber than fanfiction.
Wouldn't Shelly be a yellow lantern? Or, is she more of a red lantern?
of course some colours (orange) are about displaying the emotion while others (yellow) about encouraging it from others, most about both.
Black is about being dead while white is mainly associated with being resurected
Cool stuff here, guys. And yeah, that's a commission I did last year at Stacy Korn's comic book shop – Comic Fusion – in New Jersey. If you guys want to see more of my work, you can find me on Facebook either as Capesnbabes or Chris Flick. You can also check out my webcomic at http://www.capesnbabes.com.
Thanks for posting this!
Does anyone else think that Big Gay Al's Star Sapphire outfit is a good basic design for a male Star Sapphire?
Kenny has hair?
Annie, pretty much all DC/Marvel superhero comics since around the early 70s are fan-fiction. Some of it good, some of it terrible, most of it somewhere in between.
" Kenny has hair? "
As of the movie back at the turn of the century, it's been established that Kenny is a blonde white boy under his hood with the voice of Mike Judge.
This is all kinds of awesome.
Thanks for the love, and thanks to Brian for posting the sketches. I keep getting ideas for sketches, and casting SP characters in the Emotional Spectrum was one of them. This was the story pitch I included with each sketch over on ComicArtFans.com:
"The Blackest Night has hit the small podunk white trash town of South Park, CO. The dead have risen, and heroes such as Mysterion and Mintberry Crunch are unable to stop the hordes. Now, some of the town's most . . . unique residents have found themselves with power rings of the emotional spectrum. Can they defeat the Black Lanterns of South Park?"
You can see the index with Kenny's sketch. Each sketch's description shows why I cast the characters the way I did. Also, I got sketches based of the "Coon & Friends" story arc . . . check out The Coon, Mysterion, Mintberry Crunch: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=763507&GSub=110297,
Professor Chaos & General Disarray: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=802166&GSub=110297 and Cthulhu.
Shoot . . . I messed up the formatting.

Professor Chaos & General Disarray: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=802166&GSub=110297
When I saw the title of the this post I thought of this:

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 2 October 1839; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18391002-TC-JAC-01; CL 11: 196-200
Chelsea, 2nd October, 1839—
My dear Brother,
Your pleasant and welcome Letter came, along with one of Stewart's, not many nights ago. Stewart reported progress about Puttoch; he had had an "Inquirer," he did not know whom; thought the thing might sell for about £6,500 or so;1 requested instructions from me; above all things, requested to have the title deeds forwarded to Adamson2 of Dumfries. I answered by return of post, that it was all right, that we would wait till he had to his own satisfaction ascertained the impossibility or due unlikelihood of getting £6,500 (as there was no haste, as his estimate was deliberate), and then we would cheerfully take 6000 guineas, which he seemed to have some notion might be a fair price too if we could get it at once. On the whole I endeavoured, as before, to lay it altogether under his management; conceiving that it was safer so than in any other way I could appoint for it. I also wrote by the same post to Robert Welsh;3 having mentioned to Stewart that I would; the title-deeds, or something to the same effect if they be not written out yet, will as I hope get into Adamson's hands straightway, or perhaps are already there. Finally I sent a copy of the F. Revn to Stewart, by Edinburgh and Lockerby.4 I sent another to Grahame of Burnswark,—poor Grahame: it was to be forwarded by Coach to Ecclefechan, where I hope in these days it has arrived. Stewart said, rather in the lamenting way, you had never looked near him more. Ben and you might take a bright day, and drive thither. He is a good little fellow, Stewart, I think; and decidedly clever in his way. Your sketches of Puttoch, of Glen &c were very interesting. What a change there too; nothing but changes; one's life is change! Glen I doubt will never get better; however, all things ought to be tried with him. Your notions about him seem to agree with his Brother's on that side.5 What a cub is Menzies! Wrapt so joyfully in his Hoddam stipend, in a coat of oily health, glad pepticity, potatoe-culture and limited self-sufficement: there let him rest, and bless Heaven.6 I rejoice not a little that you have got a settlement effected with Alick for my Mother, and have it now all clear for a fresh score. "Short accounts, long friends," the Proverb says. She is a methodic person, and does not like entanglements. Alick does not like such either; but he has "an offputting way"! I think it would answer well if they made an arrangement, that is if he made a determination, to settle regularly at some appointed day twice a year: to start next Whitsunday, as Martinmas for this year is so close at hand? You should also settle with Alick, I think, and put the matter down in some clear shape in black-on-white. Or have you already done that?7 Keeping a tangled account is like wearing a tattered coat; unpleasant for the moment, and has an ill effect for the future: better mend your coat, and go about with a reputable feeling. I rejoice to hear that the shop prospers. It is one of my most earnest prayers that poor Alick's heart too could get into a state of clearness, of manful patience, quiet endeavour; this I should reckon prosperity, be the money result what it might. Ah me, poor fellow, he has had a tough fight, many, many a vexation; and feels as if he had not conquered, as if he were himself conquered after all! But it is not so; no, I will never cease hoping that so brave a man will take the attitude of a brave man; that when affliction press upon him he will learn to shut his lips, and think what is wrong in himself, what is curable in himself;—in a word, that he will renounce that "refuge of lies" altogether, and fly far from it as from the clearest revelation of the Infernal Pit manifested to men in these days of ours!—
My own history since I wrote to you has not been momentous. I have worked daily at Meister; only got the Appr finished the day before yesterday. The printers go briskly on and comfortably. The Travels will cost me no trouble at all; the translation is as good as I can make it: a plan I had, to intercalate from the Letzter-Hand edition of that work as much as would make a volume equal to the half of the Apprenticeship, proves, now when I look at it practically, impracticable without enormous waste of labour for no certain result: so I shall intercalate nothing, change nothing; the final edition seems to me better only as there is more of it; longer, not completer, nay hardly so complete.8 The Miscellanies, Fraser says, sell very beautifully; nearly the half of them is already gone: à la bonne heure [well and good]! I have given away all my copies now; several friends I silently bid wait for a copy of the British edition, which cannot, one would think, fail to be set forth some time or other.9 The two volumes making up my Mother's set were despatched by M'Kie's Parcel to Dumfries and James Aitken's care on Saturday last; pray look after them: there was a Fraser's Magn too with the Article on the vengeur; that had not my Mother's name, but was intended for her. By the same conveyance too I despatched a copy of Sterling's article on me; that is to say by Simpkin & Marshall's monthly parcel to M'Kie; for it was not tied up along with the others, but separ[ate,] not having come to hand till after Fraser had sent the others off. It was not a No of the Review, but a separate copy of the Article, which Mill gave me; the review was not to be out till next day, too late, I feared, for Simpkin & M'Kie.10 It far excels all articles ever written on me that of Sterling's; for half a day or more it flung my nerves abreed[abroad]11 more than I wanted or wished,—a most enormous laudation and exaggeration; then I thought: Was thut's [What does it signify]?12 If it make the things sell, and bring cash, it will be good; not otherwise; the rest is not good, but a mixture of good and evil, Mother!13— Sterling is translating Dichtung u. Wahrheit for Blackwood;14 flying away now high now low, as his way is. Mill, whom I called for when in the City seeking my Dumfries money, did not look any better, felt little or no better (he said), but was able to go on without much impediment. His review, he hinted, was to cease probably, before long: not paying, no prospect &c. The Bullers have left their fine town-house; taken some residence about Leatherhead: a bad symptom for Radicalism, as Mrs Buller reads it! Anthony Sterling sailed by the last Steamer from Liverpool: the old Stimabile comes whirling down here, takes Jane often, Jane and me sometimes, out to dine; one day to Greenwich and the Park there: pretty enough. Jane bids me salute you all with her best affection, and say that she is wonderfully stout ever since her return, and wishes every one of you had made as much improvement. By the bye, what is becoming of Austin and his business?15 How is Jamie with his harvest? The weather has been decidedly drier for above a week now; I trust Annandale and Scotsbrig share in it. Yesterday I went to seek home my horse: the people were making a fine second-crop of hay; I saw a man and woman sowing wheat, he with two long dibbles, she with a small wooden box and her fingers, hitching after him! I had four miles to walk af[ter] the railway at Watford; part of it thro' an oak wood with hazel bushes where the people were busy nutting. It, and the ride home generally were very interesting to me. My horse is in good order; I was obliged to go and get her, partly out of mense [propriety], partly that I really did want riding again. You shall have a trot if you like when you come. But when are you coming? London gets fuller and fuller now, tho' the quality are still all far from us. Your room in the front here with French bed and gay hangings, if you will have that room, or your old room if you will not, is standing ready for you here. Lady Clare's Parcel is come from Fraser's: a rather bulky square shallow thing; probably a writing apparatus of Russian leather.16 I heard no more of her; I got your Letter franked by a man whom I met on the Strand; Sterling having pleaded total inability, the Carlton17 all empty. No franks today;—and surely this scrawl is as little worth paying for as the most! My dear Mother wanted to hear of me again, I myself wanted to write. How is she? Ah me, I have nothing to say that will express the tenth of what I feel: I shall say nothing: God be ever with her!
I thought I had told you all my feats, and one of the greatest, getting that tooth wrenched out of me, is still to tell! Marshall18 did for it three days ago; it went on, gnaw-gnawing, so we rooted it out,—one of the ugliest sensations I ever had! It is not a sharp cleanly agony, like lightning, as I had fancied it; no, it is rather the transcendency of the Brutal, the Savage. My gum does well enough, and I can drink my tea hot again.— I should have said also that a man wrote to Mill from Glasgow, one Profr Nichol an astronomical character, 'an admirer of mine,' counseling me to become a candidate for the Moral Philosophy Professorship now fallen vacant there, worth £700 a year. I answered, if they were to offer it me, with all reasonable immunities, I would take 24 hours to consider of it; but as a contingent thing it was already decided, and I no candidate.19 £700 a year is good, but God be thanked I have lived till I am growing old without all that, and have made out for myself a result worth all the Professorships in Scotland— independent of them all. Grumph! as Cavaignac would say.— Our Garden is cleared up, many things rooted up, walks sanded, the greater part of the space laid out in grass. Do not forget the reap-hook, tell them!
Jamie will send us the oatmeal the first he has that pleases him: eight stone, Jane says. The butter will not be forgotten; nor the saddle. The sooner all were here, the better.— Did you ever say more to Jean about the ailment in her arm? Pray attend to it; she is very anxious about it.
I said one day I would buy my Mother a nail-brush! You will do me a real favour by laying out a shilling for that end; I never again was near where they were sold, or forgot when I was. Hinchliffe's at Dumfries;20 if you are ever there, do think of it. I said, and did not perform. Write soon; say when you are coming: come with a plan, if possible, and we will help you faithfully to execute it.— Finis!
By the bye, if you had any room you might bring all the remaining Tobacco that Sandy21 has too; I shall want it all: but do not put yourself about.
I have room for no more. My blessings with you all now and ever!

(carly simon)
We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And i wonder if i'm really with you now
Or just chasing after some finer day.
Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And i tell you how easy it is to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me.
Bit i rehearsed those words just late last night
When i was thinking about how right tonight might be.
Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet, i don't know natures way
So i'll try to see into your eyes right now
And stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days.

Wine Advocate 94+ Points
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva emerges from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, licorice and spices all wrapped around a sensual, elegant frame of notable class. Considerable aeration is needed to bring out the wine's depth and textural richness. This is an excellent wine, but more often than not I am attracted more to the straight Brunello here, as is the case again in 2006. Costanti gave the 2006 Riserva 36 months in oak, 18 months in medium-sized barrels followed by 18 months in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.-AG

Governments on every continent have sold off state-owned assets to private investors in recent decades. Airports, railroads, energy utilities, and many other assets have been privatized. The privatization revolution has overthrown the belief widely held in the 20th century that governments should own the most important industries in the economy. Privatization has generally led to reduced costs, higher-quality services, and increased innovation in formerly moribund government industries.
The presumption that government should own industry was challenged in the 1980s by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and by President Ronald Reagan. But while Thatcher made enormous reforms in Britain, only a few major federal assets have been privatized in this country. Conrail, a freight railroad, was privatized in 1987 for $1.7 billion. The Alaska Power Administration was privatized in 1996. The federal helium reserve was privatized in 1996 for $1.8 billion. The Elk Hills Petroleum Reserve was sold in 1997 for $3.7 billion. The U.S. Enrichment Corporation, which provides enriched uranium to the nuclear industry, was privatized in 1998 for $3.1 billion.
There remain many federal assets that should be privatized, including businesses such as Amtrak and infrastructure such as the air traffic control system. The government also holds billions of dollars of real estate that should be sold. The benefits to the federal budget of privatization would be modest, but the benefits to the economy would be large as newly private businesses would innovate and improve their performance.
The Office of Management and Budget has calculated that about half of all federal employees perform tasks that are not "inherently governmental." The Bush administration had attempted to contract some of those activities to outside vendors, but such "competitive sourcing" is not privatization. Privatization makes an activity entirely private, taking it completely off of the government's books. That allows for greater innovation and prevents corruption, which is a serious pitfall of government contracting.
Privatization of federal assets makes sense for many reasons. First, sales of federal assets would cut the budget deficit. Second, privatization would reduce the responsibilities of the government so that policymakers could better focus on their core responsibilities, such as national security. Third, there is vast foreign privatization experience that could be drawn on in pursuing U.S. reforms. Fourth, privatization would spur economic growth by opening new markets to entrepreneurs. For example, repeal of the postal monopoly could bring major innovation to the mail industry, just as the 1980s' breakup of AT&T brought innovation to the telecommunications industry.
Some policymakers think that certain activities, such as air traffic control, are "too important" to leave to the private sector. But the reality is just the opposite. The government has shown itself to be a failure at providing efficiency and high quality in services such as air traffic control. Such industries are too important to miss out on the innovations that private entrepreneurs could bring to them.
Stand-Alone Businesses
The federal government operates numerous business enterprises that should be converted into publicly traded corporations, including the U.S. Postal Service, Amtrak, and a number of electric utilities.
- Postal Services. The mammoth 685,000-person U.S. Postal Service is facing declining mail volume and rising costs. The way ahead is to privatize the USPS and repeal the company's legal monopoly over first-class mail. Reforms in other countries show that there is no good reason for the current mail monopoly. Since 1998, New Zealand's postal market has been open to private competition, with the result that postage rates have fallen and labor productivity at New Zealand Post has risen. Germany's Deutsche Post was partly privatized in 2000, and the company has improved productivity and expanded into new businesses. Postal services have also been privatized or opened to competition in Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Japan is moving ahead with postal service privatization, and the European Union is planning to open postal services to competition in all its 27 member nations.
- Passenger Rail. Subsidies to Amtrak were supposed to be temporary after it was created in 1970. That has not occurred, and Amtrak has provided second-rate rail service for more than 30 years while consuming more than $30 billion in federal subsidies. It has a poor on-time record, and its infrastructure is in bad shape. Reforms elsewhere show that private passenger rail can work. Full or partial rail privatization has occurred in Australia, Britain, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and other countries. Privatization would allow Amtrak greater flexibility in its finances, its capital budget, and the operation of its services — free from costly meddling by Congress.
- Electric Utilities. The U.S. electricity industry is dominated by publicly traded corporations. However, the federal government owns the huge Tennessee Valley Authority and four Power Marketing Administrations, which sell power in 33 states. These government power companies have become an anachronism as utility privatization has been pursued across the globe. TVA and PMA privatization would eliminate artificially low power rates that cause overconsumption and would increase efficiency in utility operations and capital investment. President Bill Clinton proposed to sell off the four PMAs in his 1996 budget. It is time to dust off those plans and move ahead with reform.
Before the 20th century, transportation infrastructure was often financed and built by the private sector. For example, there were more than 2,000 companies that built private toll roads in America in the 18th and 19th centuries.1 Most of those roads were put out of business by the spread of the railroads. Then, during the 20th century, roads and other infrastructure came to be thought of as government activities. By the 1980s, that started to change, and governments around the world began selling off airports, highways, bridges, and other facilities.
Any service that can be supported by consumer fees can be privatized. A big advantage of privatized airports, air traffic control, highways, and other activities is that private companies can freely tap debt and equity markets for capital expansion to meet rising demand. By contrast, modernization of government infrastructure is subject to the politics and uncertainties of government budgeting processes. As a consequence, government infrastructure is often old, congested, and poorly maintained.
- Air Traffic Control. The Federal Aviation Administration has been mismanaged for decades and provides Americans with second-rate air traffic control. The FAA has struggled to expand capacity and modernize its technology, and its upgrade efforts have often fallen behind schedule and gone over budget. For example, the Government Accountability Office found one FAA technology upgrade project that was started in 1983 and was to be completed by 1996 for $2.5 billion, but the project was years late and ended up costing $7.6 billion.2 The GAO has had the FAA on its watch list of wasteful "high-risk" agencies for years.3 Air traffic control (ATC) is far too important for such government mismanagement and should be privatized. The good news is that a number of countries have privatized their ATC and provide good models for U.S. reforms. Canada privatized its ATC system in 1996. It set up a private, nonprofit ATC corporation, Nav Canada, which is self-supporting from charges on aviation users. The Canadian system has received high marks for sound finances, solid management, and investment in new technologies.4
- Highways. A number of states are moving ahead with privately financed and operated highways. The Dulles Greenway in Northern Virginia is a 14-mile private highway opened in 1995 that was financed by private bond and equity issues. In the same region, Fluor-Transurban is building and mainly funding high-occupancy toll lanes on a 14-mile stretch of the Capital Beltway. Drivers will pay to use the lanes with electronic tolling, which will recoup the company's roughly $1 billion investment. Fluor-Transurban is also financing and building toll lanes running south from Washington along Interstate 95. Similar private highway projects have been completed, or are being pursued, in California, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. Private-sector highway funding and operation can help pave the way toward reducing the nation's traffic congestion.
- Airports. Nearly all major U.S. airports are owned by state and local governments, with the federal government subsidizing airport renovation and expansion. By contrast, airports have been fully or partly privatized in many foreign cities, including Athens, Auckland, Brussels, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London, Melbourne, Naples, Rome, Sydney, and Vienna. Britain led the way with the 1987 privatization of British Airports Authority, which owns Heathrow and other airports. To proceed with reforms in the United States, Congress should take the lead because numerous federal roadblocks make cities hesitant to privatize. For example, government-owned airports can issue tax-exempt debt, which gives them a financial advantage over potential private airports.
- Seaports. Nearly all U.S. seaports are owned by state and local governments. Many operate below world standards because of inflexible union work rules and other factors. A Maritime Administration report noted that "American ports lag well behind other international transportation gateways such as Singapore and Rotterdam in terms of productivity."5 Dozens of countries around the world have privatized their seaports. One Hong Kong company, Hutchinson Whampoa, owns 30 ports in 15 countries. In Britain, 19 ports were privatized in 1983 to form Associated British Ports. ABP and a subsidiary, UK Dredging, sell port and dredging services in the private marketplace. They earn a profit, pay taxes, and return dividends to shareholders.6 Two-thirds of British cargo goes through privatized ports, which are highly efficient. Because of the vital economic role played by seaports in international trade, this should be a high priority reform area in the United States.
- Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps of Engineers is a federal agency that builds and maintains infrastructure for ports and waterways. Most of the agency's $5 billion annual budget goes toward dredging harbors and investing in locks and channels on rivers, such as the Mississippi. In addition, the corps is the largest owner of hydroelectric power plants in the country, manages 4,300 recreational areas, funds beach replenishment, and upgrades local water and sewer systems.
Congress has used the corps as a pork barrel spending machine for decades. Funds are earmarked for low-value projects in the districts of important members of Congress, while higher-value projects go unfunded. Further, the corps has a history of scandals, including the levee failures in New Orleans and bogus economic studies to justify expensive projects.7
To solve these problems, the civilian activities of the corps should be transferred to state, local, or private ownership. A rough framework for reform would be to privatize port dredging, hydroelectric dams, beach replenishment, and other activities that could be supported by user fees and charges. Levees, municipal water and sewer projects, recreational areas, locks, and other waterway infrastructure could be transferred to state governments.
Federal Assets
At the end of fiscal year 2007, the federal government held $1.2 trillion in buildings and equipment, $277 billion in inventory, $919 billion in land, and $392 billion in mineral rights.8 The federal government owns about one-fourth of the land in the United States.
Many government assets are neglected and abused, and would likely be better cared for in the private sector. It is common to see government property in poor shape, with public housing being perhaps the most infamous government eyesore. The GAO has found that "many assets are in an alarming state of deterioration" and the watchdog agency has put federal property holdings on its list of activities at high risk for waste.9
The GAO also notes that the federal government has "many assets it does not need," including billions of dollars worth of excess and vacant buildings. The federal government spends billions of dollars each year maintaining excess facilities of the Departments of Defense, Energy, and Veterans Affairs.
The solution is to sell federal assets that are excess to public needs and to better manage the smaller set of remaining holdings. For example, there are substantial maintenance backlogs on facilities of the Forest Service, Park Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service. The solution is not a larger maintenance budget, but trimming asset holdings to fit limited taxpayer resources. Another part of the solution is to scrap the Davis-Bacon rules, which require that artificially high wages be paid on federal contracts, including maintenance contracts.
Federal asset sales would help reduce the federal deficit and create budget room for improved maintenance of remaining assets. Perhaps more importantly, economic efficiency and growth would increase as underused assets were put into more productive private hands.
Privatizing federal businesses and infrastructure would allow new managers to extract greater efficiencies out of existing assets and to improve customer services. Private entrepreneurs can often innovate where government workers cannot, and they can more easily end unneeded and failed activities. Federal policymakers should:
- end subsidies to passenger rail and privatize Amtrak;
- privatize the U.S. Postal Service and repeal restrictions on competitive mail delivery;
- privatize the air traffic control system;
- help privatize the nation's airports, while ending federal subsidies;
- help privatize the nation's seaports;
- privatize federal electricity utilities, including the TVA and PMAs;
- privatize parts of the Army Corps of Engineers, such as hydroelectric dams; and
- sell excess federal assets, including buildings, land, and inventory.
These are some of the high-profile reform targets, but federal departments should be scoured for other large and small activities to transfer to new owners in the private sector.
