* Q3 adj net from continuing ops 1.78 bln euros
* Eni sees full-year production above 2011
* Eyeing gas sale drive in France, Germany, Austria (Recasts, adds detail, CFO comment)
MILAN, Oct 30 Italian oil and gas group Eni reported a better-than-expected rise in quarterly profit thanks to a recovery in Libya, and said it was looking to Africa to underpin its growth goals.
Over the past year, Eni has gone some way to dispelling scepticism about its profitability and growth potential by sealing a deal with Russia's Rosneft and scoring exploration successes in Norway as well as Africa.
Eni said it expected production for the full year to be higher than the previous year when it stood at just under 1.7 million barrels per day, as Libyan production returns to levels seen before the conflict there.
The group is the biggest foreign operator in Libya.
Eni, the world's No. 7 oil company in terms of production, expects Africa will help achieve its goal of a rise in oil and gas production of around 3 percent per year.
"Our business is increasingly focused on exploration and production," Bernini told analysts in a conference call on third quarter results.
The group's jumbo gas find in Mozambique, which has more than 70 trillion cubic feet of gas in place, has drawn great interest from majors keen to get a piece of the action.
Adjusted net profit in the third quarter from continuing operations came in at 1.78 billion euros ($2.31 billion), above a Reuters poll of 1.618 billion euros.
The result was boosted by a 1.15 billion-euro-gain from the sale of a 5 percent stake in Galp. Investors had been looking for news of a possible sale of the residual stake.
"We received a lot of interest (for Galp) from financial institutions," said Eni CFO Alessandro Bernini on Tuesday. "The offer prices did not satisfy Eni's minumum expectations."
The state-controlled Italian oil company, which had committed to sell its Galp stake by the end of 2013, has previously said it wants an overall 3.5 billion euros.
Divorce from gas grid company Snam had given Eni all the muscle it needed to fund its new focus on upstream growth, Bernini said.
A deal earlier this month to sell just under 30 percent of Snam is set to lighten Eni's debt pile by 14.7 billion euros and raise cash of 3.5 billion euros. ($1 = 0.7705 euros) (Reporting By Stephen Jewkes; Editing by Helen Massy-Beresford and Louise Heavens)

Mother of bride and friend drown in Rarotonga
Relevant offers
The mother of a Kiwi bride and a family friend who tried to save her have drowned in Rarotonga, the day before the wedding.
Judith Lorraine Palmer, 62, drowned yesterday while swimming in a lagoon near where she and her husband, Auckland city police chief inspector John Palmer, were staying.
New Zealand police said a close family friend of the couple, Robert Groves, 64, also died while trying to help her.
The families were neighbours from Birkenhead. Their bodies were recovered by locals about an hour after the drownings.
Both couples were in Vaimaanga, Rarotonga, for the Palmers' daughter Vanessa's wedding which was scheduled to happen today. It has since been postponed.
The pair died in an area notorious for drownings and disappearances, the publisher of the Cook Islands News, John Woods says.
The area is currently being hit by southeasters and a 1.9 metre swell, making it even more dangerous.
"It is a turbulent passage in the right conditions," he said.
He believed as many as eight people may have died in the passage in the last decade.
"It is notoriously dangerous, and there are signs there."
With the swell and the tides, a lot of water would have flooded into the lagoon.
"It is a well known dangerous swimming area, and for fishing."
There a no big resorts near the passage, other than the abandoned Sheraton complex.
Woods said Rarotonga would feel the deaths sharply as the couple were on the island for the wedding.
Vanessa Palmer is a high profile triathlete and is the PE teacher at the Tereora College.
"She is a real personality on the island.
"A really great athlete, you see her on the road everyday, and she really shares her knowledge."
Woods said the families were holding a service this afternoon.
Auckland City District Commander, Superintendent Mike Clement, said the double tragedy has hit Chief Inspector Palmer and his wider family hard.
"We are all reeling from the news and can only imagine the magnitude of the devastation John, his family and the Groves family are feeling," Clement said.
"I know personally that the trip to Rarotonga for Vanessa's wedding was to be the highlight of the year for John and Judy and that much planning and anticipation surrounded it.
John and Judy Palmer had been married for 42 years.
Clement said he and Police Commissioner Peter Marshall had spoken with Palmer on several occasions in the past 24 hours to offer support at "this very distressing time".
Commissioner Marshall had also spoken to the Commissioner of the Cook Islands police and and thanked him for the support he was giving to the Chief Inspector and his family, Clement said.
Groves worked at Nuralite Waterproofing systems in Onehunga. His wife, like Judy Palmer, is a registered nurse.
Nuralite said the company learned of his death with sadness.
"Rob was a true gentleman who, over the past 40 years in the waterproofing industry, built a strong reputation based on integrity, practical knowledge and personal service," managing director John Simmons said.
"The fact that he died trying to rescue his neighbour is the ultimate testament to his commitment to helping others."
Simmons said Groves would be sorely missed be everyone at Nuralite along with all those he dealt with.
"Our thoughts are with his wife Denise, and his family and friends, during this distressing time."

Skip to comments.Bush Bumper Sticker Still Gets Results (vanity)-Camarillo Rescue
Posted on 01/03/2005 12:00:06 PM PST by Hi Heels
Driving home from Ventura yesterday (in KALLIFORNIA, I might add) and forgot to get gas. Ran out at the base of the Camarillo grade (not a great place to run out of gas). Managed to get off the freeway. We get out of the car realizing we had forgotten to get gas, and got a can out of the trunk. Looked around, nothing for MILES. Figured we would have to resort to cannibalism and was trying to position myself to knock the boyfriend over the head to avoid an ambush in the future when around the corner came a huge pick'em up truck. The guy driving and his passenger(never even got their names) are nascar workers. Had 50 gallons of fuel aboard his truck WITH a nozzle, etc. We were on the road within minutes. Before he left, he pointed at my Bush/Cheney sticker and said, "if this had been a Kerry sticker, I wouldn't even have looked over at you." So, Partner, if you're on here, and I can't imagine you aren't, Thanks.
(In the spirit of conciliation, I took my Bush-Cheney sticker off my truck after the election. But I've seen so many Kerry-Edwards stickers still on cars, I'm about to put a new Bush sticker back on the old pickup.)
Nice! (Cannabalism, LOL.)
Now that is what I would have called a LEGAL drive by!!
Bush/Cheny 2004 !!!
Definitely a great story!
BTW, AFTER the election in my very liberal town, I saw what seemed like hundreds of Bush stickers sprouting on the backs of cars everywhere! There was a lot of hostility here, and I guess people were afraid to put them on before the election. But it seems like being on the winning side gave them courage.
That'll teach ya. :-)
lol...although I did put on one of those stickers which reads "My heroes have always been cowboys" with the pics of W and Ronald Reagan.
Liberals don't know what "conciliation" even means.
On the flip side, I kept my small "Law Enforcement For Bush 2004" sticker on my SUV. I took a road trip to Seattle on Saturday and was flipped off three times. Maybe they don't like SUV's?
I've still got my Bush sticker on the car. I think I'll keep it there a little longer.
Yep, I left all of mine on my Honda and my truck.
I have two that say, "Give War a Chance" and "I "heart" Halliburton."
I've only got positive responses. People usually drive by and beep and give me a thumbs up!
Think I'll leave them on for a while...
I still have my magnetic BC04 in the truck. I'll have to pick up an anti Bush one in case I run out of gas in hostile territory!!
and they deliver FAST. I got buttons and stickers and bumper stickers, but my husband put his foot down at the yard sign. :-)
I think I still have a Reagan sticker or two on my pickup.
LOVE that!!!!
I'm glad I did after all
Mini Nascar ping...........
LOL...nothing like rubbing it in their noses.
I think they named it the "Emerald City" because of the similarity to OZ.
"But these unpleasant things existed only in a few remote parts of the Land of Oz. I suppose every country has some drawbacks, so even this almost perfect fairyland could not be quite perfect. Once there had been wicked witches in the land, too; but now these had all been destroyed; so, as I said, only peace and happiness reigned in Oz."
The last line belies the concept of tolerance from the left
"only peace and happiness reigned in Oz"
ChefKeith says it's about 112 octane. If it was Nascar fuel that car would be running good!!!!
Bumping for yet another shameless plug for my FReeperpage (Read my tagline).
Also, if you look good in what your screen name is, that might not have hurt either.
We have a Bush/Cheney sign in the window to our non-storefront office. A new client of mine had driven by before his appointment to be sure he knew where it was, and told me that the presence of that sign in the window gave him more confidence in me!
Woo Hoo!
Where can I get one of those "W Still the President " stickers?
Message to self: DON'T TAKE OF THE W-04 STICKER---EVER!!!!!!
We rented a National rental car for a week over Christmas while visiting my son in Seattle. I brought a nice W sticker and slapped it on the trunk for grins. Didn't get many...
Thats a GREAT one. I Like it. ;)
When I get rid of my current Tahoe, the new owner can take my Bush 04 sticker off and the Bush2000 sticker as well.
I still have the one from 2000 on my truck, and the new one beside it.
Wow good job!
*ahem* I was with rather large, hairy, Italian boyfriend...... thus, the motivation was PURELY the 'W' sticker... LOL!
So, you were going to pre-empt him were you? That is the true Bush spirit.
Thanks. The magnetic paper isn't cheap, but the customization options for 'em makes it all worth it.
So does seeing the looks on the librats' faces in the rearview mirror.
A "still the president" yard sign? That'll really rub their noses in it. Heh, heh.
The bumper stickers are sold out. :o(
Check back; they're really good about resupplying; I've gotten a lot of stuff there and have been very pleased with the service.
Your tag say Daytona in 48 days, but EVERYONE knows the real race has always been the Daytona 200(Mar 10-13)!
Nothing like the high banks on 2 wheels, rear wheel spinning at over 180, while coming off turn 4.
Or from just 2 years back, no speed limit on pit road. 8-10 second pits, then back on the gas full throttle, through the infield!
Oh, darnit! Now I HAVE to have one!
Have you had any remarks about it from your neighbors???
Dang, that looks GOOD!!!
To paraphrase Don Meredith, "They're acknowledging that Bush is 'Number-1'."
That has to be one of the funniest nights I have EVER seen on TV.
Nice profile page. However, you should add the photo of Pres. Bush chatting with the National Guard car team from last year's Dayton race.
Yeah, I have to agree. (MNF, Houston getting blown out by the Raiders, I believe.) His was one of the all-time classic lines ever uttered on television.
Cosell: "Well, the clock on the wall runs out..."
Meredith: "That's the first break Houston has had all night."
When I see a Kerry/Edwards yard sign or bumper sticker, I pray for the occupants of the vehicle or home. Especially the children.
I have the I (heart) Haliburton on mine and i was called a nazi on the freeway once.
I once got a jump start because of my bush cheney in 2000 sticker! I seem to not mind it much when i get cut off from people with bush stickers on their car either for some reason.

We present the field programmable array of analog and digital devices (FPAADD) as a novel implementation of a field programmable mixed-signal array (FPMA). The FPAADD is a hybrid combination of a field programmable analog array (FPAA) and a field programmable gate array (FPGA). Unlike other FPMAs where the FPGA and FPAA portions are kept separate, this architecture closely integrates the two in a fine-grained interleaved array. Instead of using hard-coded data converters, the FPAADD synthesizes data converters out of its reconfigurable fabric. The analog and digital portions share a common global interconnect. Floating gate (FG) transistors are used as the switch and memory elements of the chip, providing better switch performance and power over traditional static random-access memory-based approaches. The precise programmability of the FG switches also allows for computation to take place in the interconnect. These key differences make the FPAADD much more general purpose than previous FPMA architectures. The FPAADD consists of 27 × 8 array of 108 digital and 108 analog tiles and peripheral circuitry on 5 × 5 mm2 die fabricated in a 0.35- μm CMOS process, and contains more than 130 000 FG transistors.

For those of you who are familiar with the original Romero version of Dawn of the Dead, you know that Romero was not going for the full-fledged horror movie effect. Sure, the movie had some jumps and some gore, but for the most part Romero's film was a satire. Romero did a great job of combining social commentary with some horror elements, which is, in itself, a statement. This remake, however, merely goes for the thrills and chills.
The 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead throws you immediately into the horror/gore, and right from the onset of the opening credits you know that this film is no satirical statement. Sarah Polley plays a nurse who wakes up one morning to find herself in the middle of a nightmare...only, it's not merely a nightmare but a waking reality. Her neighbors and husband have been turned into walking (running) corpses (more similar to those in 28 Days Later than Romero's slow-moving, rigor mortis ridden zombies) and she must seek escape before thinking twice. She meets up with a few other lucky survivors, and they all find shelter in a shopping mall (aptly named "Crossroads Mall"). This safe haven seems almost too good to be true with all the supplies they need to last until more help arrives, and it is.Read more ›
I wouldn't re-buy it for your collection if you have to dust off your SD version when you watch it. So if you're thinking hey it's only $10 should I get it? Only if you don't already own it on SD or you're a big fan of the movie. No doubt, it's a great movie, probably the best remake in the series and probably best overall in the series including all the new ones and all the originals. But the upgrade to BR probably won't be worth it for most viewers.
Welcome to this brave new world, teaming with the hungering legions of the damned and demented. An inexplicable virus has taken over the barren husks of those who have died and has risen them as new beings - - - beings who must sate themselves on the gory, writhing remains of the living. And, in the soulless eyes of these macabre creatures, a new world takes form - - - a world filled with the wails of the tormented dying, a world drenched in the blood of innocents, a world where corruption and decay rule all, a world where hope has died and been buried. In this Stygian realm, the few survivors must make a new way of life, must lock themselves in a fortress of solitude for their physical safety. They must, regardless of the consequences, band together against the gruesome hordes that await their warm flesh. However, will the slow onset of mental imbalances, unrequited loneliness, and barren heartedness eat them alive before their loved ones do? Only time will tell. The clock is ticking. The dead are waiting. Step up to the gallows. . .

A Film to Die for:
While the horror genre has long been home to the musings of the demented, Dawn of the Dead takes depression and loneliness to a whole new level creating a film that, simply put, is to die for. The aura is suitably, almost entrancingly, morbid as the film delves into not only the gory rampages of the newly turned, but on the all too real emotions experienced by the few survivors as they struggle to remain alive and, even harder, sane.Read more ›
Loosely based on the original film by George Romero back in 1978 (26 years ago), this is a must for every horror fan. I don't think a film has taken me on this type of ride since "Silence of the Lambs" and "The Exorcist". Even then, "Lambs" could be considered a "slow" movie when compared to the "Dead". I had never heard this quote before today's feature. It explains so well the true nature of zombies: "When there's no more room in Hell. The dead will walk the earth." And they do...
Many of my colleagues have seen this film. Two of them told me they walked out of the theatre...1) for the non-stop gore 2) for the scene with the pregnant girl. Trust me my buds, if you like flesh-crawling terror, this one is for you. I will be first in line to buy this DVD when it hits the market. It is so well done (considering the source), I was actually looking over my shoulder during the screening. This was a lunchtime treat at my local theatre and there were only three people in the audience (it's been out for four weeks).
Furthermore, if you are a Quentin Tarantino fan (Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs), then you must know what he said in a recent issue of "Entertainment Weekly".Read more ›

My reccomendation is that you don't even bother purchasing this books as it is a total waste of your hard earned money especially in light of a fine book (all in one) that is readily available.

I used this book as the ONLY preparation material to study for the SSCP exam (nothing else, no "prep course" or anything else) and passed the exam the first time. This is the only book that one will need in order to be prepared for the SSCP exam, as long as one has solid IT security knowledge and work experience and only need to "brush up" on IT security topics that are covered in the exam. If you DO NOT have this prerequisite IT security knowledge and work experience, then I candidly recommend that one uses this book AND other resources (such as other SSCP prep guides, "prep courses", etc.) to adequately prepare for the SSCP exam.
This book definitely is the best SSCP prep guide for the money. It is very well written and the co-authors of this book clearly demonstrate that they are very knowledgeable about the technical aspects of IT Security that are covered in the SSCP exam. This book is very well organized and the chapters are arranged by the 7 core bodies of knowledge (CBK's) that are covered in the SSCP exam, making it easy to prepare for it by CBK and to understand ahead of time exactly what materials will be covered. Besides being an excellent SSCP prep guide, it is also an excellent reference guide, after one is SSCP certified.
The contents are organized by the ISC2 domain structure. However the materials presented scatter around in a most ilogical way I can imagine. For example, they present quiz problems of a subject before they touch upon the subject in the context. They provide multiple definitions of subject matter in different locations. Finally they ask questions in the quiz where there is no corresponding guide in the main body at all (e.g. Information Classification).
The book was also edited fairly poorly. Although the layout is pleasing and easy to read, some answers were plain wrong. The Index in the back of the book is literally useless.

19th December. Christmas dive and drinks after in Nottingham

Porthkerris, Cornwall 17th,18th and 20th July
Porthkerris has one of the best shore dives in Britain. A must for both the experienced and novice divers.
The cove nestles under high cliffs, and is protected from all but East Winds. So in the summer, when the prevailing winds are occasionally very strong from the south – west, Porthkerris is generally flat calm.
The beach drops away quickly towards a fringing reef at the northern end of the cove, that breaks surface no more than a hundred metres offshore, even at high water. Behind these visible rocks, a submerged reef arcs out for a further two hundred metres or so, accessing depths of 18 to 20 metres, depending on the state of the tide. So you can explore everything from shallow inshore reefs to deeper waters all within a three hundred-metre swim. An ideal area for newly qualified Open Water Divers.
As you follow the reef the depth increases gradually from 6 metres to 12-15 metres depending on the tide. Getting below the kelp line reveals garlands of jewel anemones, tunicates, sea cucumbers and sponges.
Don't ignore the sea bed as this is home to all sorts of bottom dwelling fish, crustaceans, tube worms, anemones, sea urchins and, in the spring and summer months, hordes of juvenile cuttlefish.
The reef is bisected by a number of cuts and gullies crying out to be explored although your first dive is best spent familiarising yourself with the topography and routes for your return.

Got in at 4am and got promptly to my room... I am a light sleeper and I was able to sleep through housekeeping working in the rooms around me, for which I am grateful! Either the walls are well insulated, or they stayed really quiet for me... but either way, thank you, BW Roanoke!
My only complaint is I called the desk at 10:50 to let them know I was running a few minutes late for check out, and they said no problem... But called me back at 11:01 to rush me out the door. I explained I had called a few minutes prior and they calmed down and told me to take my time but it was still frustrating feeling rushed.

DOD Personnel Clearances:
DOD Needs to Overcome Impediments to Eliminating Backlog and Determining Its Size
GAO-04-344: Published: Feb 9, 2004. Publicly Released: Feb 24, 2004.

Terrorist attacks and espionage cases have heightened national security concerns and highlighted the need for a timely, high-quality personnel security clearance process. However, GAO's past work found that the Department of Defense (DOD) had a clearance backlog and other problems with its process. GAO was asked to address: (1) What is the size of DOD's security clearance backlog, and how accurately is DOD able to estimate its size? (2) What factors impede DOD's ability to eliminate the backlog and accurately determine its size? (3) What are the potential adverse effects of those impediments to eliminating DOD's backlog and accurately estimating the backlog's size? GAO was also asked to determine the status of the congressionally authorized transfer of Defense Security Service (DSS) investigative functions and personnel to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
DOD did not know the size of its security clearance backlog at the end of September 2003 and has not estimated the size of the backlog since January 2000. DOD cannot estimate the size of its backlog of overdue reinvestigations that have not been submitted for renewal, but prior estimates of this portion of the backlog suggest it was sizeable. Using September 2003 data from DSS, OPM, and nine adjudication facilities, GAO calculated the size of investigative and adjudicative portions of the backlog at roughly 270,000 and 90,000 cases, respectively. Because these estimates were made using time-based goals that varied from agency to agency, the actual backlog size is uncertain. Several impediments hinder DOD's ability to eliminate--and accurately estimate the size of--its clearance backlog. Four major impediments slowing the elimination of the backlog are (1) the large numbers of new clearance requests; (2) the insufficient investigator and adjudicator workforces; (3) the size of the existing backlog; and (4) the lack of a strategic plan for overcoming problems in gaining access to state, local, and overseas information needed to complete investigations. Two other factors have hampered DOD's ability to develop accurate estimates of the backlog size. DOD has failed to provide adequate oversight of its clearance program, including developing DOD-wide backlog definitions and measures and using the measures to assess the backlog regularly. In addition, delays in implementing its Joint Personnel Adjudication System have limited DOD's ability to monitor backlog size and track when periodic reinvestigations are due. DOD's failure to eliminate and accurately assess the size of the backlog may have adverse effects. Delays in updating overdue clearances for command, agency, and industry personnel who are doing classified work may increase risks to national security. Slowness in issuing new clearances can increase the costs of doing classified government work. Finally, DOD's inability to accurately define and measure the backlog and project future clearance requests that it expects to receive can adversely affect its ability to develop accurate budgetary and staffing plans. In December 2003, advisors to OPM's Director recommended that the authorized transfer of DOD's investigative functions and personnel to OPM should not occur for at least the rest of fiscal year 2004. That recommendation was based on uncertainties over financial risks that OPM might incur. An alternative plan being discussed by DOD and OPM calls for leaving investigative staff in DSS and giving them training for, and access to, OPM's case management system. A DOD official estimated that using the OPM system, instead of DOD's current system, would avoid about $100 million in update and maintenance costs during the next 5 years. Also, as of December 16, 2003, the Secretary of Defense had not provided Congress with certifications required prior to any transfer.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD Response: Concur. DOD will develop backlog definitions and measures and "dashboard-like" tools to more effectively monitor their personnel security clearance process. According to DOD, JPAS will include a module to verify and validate all investigative requests for DOD military personnel and a subset of the civilian population. DOD continues to develop a full solution to this recommendation. As part of the effort of placing DOD's personnel security clearance program on GAO's high-risk list in January 2005, the Deputy Director of OMB met with GAO officials and indicated that (1) OMB staff would work with DOD and OPM to develop preliminary milestones and metrics for correcting problems associated with DOD's personnel security clearance program, and (2) GAO would be asked to comment on that information. Based on our review of OMB's plan, we concluded it meets the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: Because of continuing concerns about the size of the backlog and its accurate measurement and the personnel security clearance program's importance to national security, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to develop DOD-wide backlog definitions and measures, and monitor the backlog at each of the three clearance-process stages using the DOD-wide measures.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD Response: Concur. The Department is addressing this issue, but a more formal approach will be developed. DOD's solution to this recommendation remains under development. Efforts are now underway to obtain access to INTERPOL and State Department databases for criminal history information. Also, separate studies are underway to enhance data collection of overseas and domestic information through automated means.
Recommendation: Because of continuing concerns about the size of the backlog and its accurate measurement and the personnel security clearance program's importance to national security, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to develop a strategic plan for overcoming problems accessing data locally, at the state level, and overseas.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD Response: Partially concur. To address the issue, DOD is developing a verification and validation module to predict and validate investigative requirements, as well as looking into interfacing with other databases (e.g., acquisition) to be able to better predict future and continuing investigative needs. OUSD(I) has directed the DOD Components to adequately budget for their investigative requirements and for those with adjudication responsibilities to adequately staff and resource the central adjudication facility in order to meet its mission requirements. In February 2005, DOD transferred its personnel security investigative function to OPM, and now obtains nearly all of its clearances from OPM. In November 2005, OPM reports that personnel security clearance personnel staffing has exceeded its 2004 estimate of 8,000. For the adjudicative workforce portion of this recommendation which is still relevant to DOD, substantial progress has been seen. GAO-07-842T (p. 11) noted "As of June 2006, DISCO [the adjudication center for clearance decisions for most industry personnel] reported that it had adjudicated 82 percent of its initial top secret clearances within 30 days." Similarly, OMB's February 2007 report (final bullet on p. 4) to Congress on clearance-related issues noted, "DOD...averaged 18 days for 80% of the 108,903 actions reported." The IRTPA-mandated requirement is to adjudicate 80 percent within 30 days. Thus, DOD's clearance adjudications have met the IRTPA-mandated requirement. Thus, it appears that DOD now has sufficient adjudicative workforce available to render clearance decisions within the time limit specified by IRTPA.
Recommendation: Because of continuing concerns about the size of the backlog and its accurate measurement and the personnel security clearance program's importance to national security, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to identify and implement steps to match the sizes of the investigative and adjudicative workforces to the clearance request workload.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD Response: Concur. Full implementation of the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) is the goal and efforts are underway to achieve it. According to DOD, JPAS became operational in March 2005. We reported in June 2005 testimony that much of JPAS has been implemented allowing for the monitoring of overdue reinvestigations, the generation of accurate estimates for that portion of the backlog, and elimination of the need for DOD's 10 adjudication facilities to maintain their own databases of adjudication information.
Recommendation: Because of continuing concerns about the size of the backlog and its accurate measurement and the personnel security clearance program's importance to national security, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to complete the implementation of the Joint Personnel Adjudication System.

If Only They Had Goaltending
by PuckStopsHere on 01/20/10 at 01:41 PM ET
Comments (0)
Every season since I started to blog, I picked out one team that could improve the most if they added a top level goaltender. Since a goaltending is the player that has the biggest impact on a team`s success, it is quite likely that this team will have a big jump in success if they do find that goalie. This happened in 2005/06 when Edmonton added Dwayne Roloson at the trade deadline and went to the Stanley Cup finals. Last year, my pick was the Detroit Red Wings. They were a very good team last year that struggled much of the season in goal due to a poor regular season from Chris Osgood. They were a team one top goalie short of being an elite team. Detroit never added that goalie and nevertheless went to the finals and lost. Osgood played much better in his playoff run than he did in the regular season.
Ironically, this year`s Detroit team seems to have found their goalie in Jim Howard, but the team in front of him is not nearly as good due to a combination of player losses, injury and age related decline.

Jeff Schultz Developing
by PuckStopsHere on 01/19/10 at 01:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
Over the past couple of years, Jeff Schultz has been a whipping boy among Washington Capitals fans. He has been the team`s number six or seven defenceman and a relatively frequent healthy scratch. He has been given a lot of criticism for his apparent lack of effort. This season, as Schultz has the second highest +/- rating in the league (+27 - one point back of teammate Alexander Ovechkin), he is showing that he can be an above average NHL defenceman.
Schultz is a former first round draft pick. He was selected 27th overall by Washington in 2004. He is one of the larger defencemen in the game at 6'6" and 230 pounds. Historically these large defencemen tend to take a few years to fully develop into NHL players. As a comparison, reigning Norris Trophy winner Zdeno Chara (6'9" and 255 pounds) had an 11 point -27 +/- season in 65 games with the New York Islanders when he was Schultz`s age (23).

The State Of Calgary's Defence
by PuckStopsHere on 01/18/10 at 01:33 PM ET
Comments (0)
This summer when the Calgary Flames added Jay Bouwmeester, they were a popular choice to be the top defence in the NHL. Bouwmeester was joining Robyn Regehr and Dion Phaneuf. They were to form the best top three on any defence unit in the NHL. If former Vezina Trophy winning goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff bounced back into form behind that defence, this was a Flames team that could dominate. They could allow the least goals against in the NHL and be a Stanley Cup contender.
There was a solid chance that Calgary would provide three of the Canadian Olympic Team defencemen. When the team was actually named, Calgary had zero defencemen on the roster. What happened?

Masterton Trophy Leader
by PuckStopsHere on 01/16/10 at 02:03 PM ET
Comments (0)
Of the major NHL awards, I think the Masterton Trophy is the one that has the most ambiguous description of who wins it. It is officially given to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverence, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. In practise, I think the award goes to the player who overcomes the biggest adversity anevertheless contributes the most to his team. That is how I pick it and it is consistent history. Despite the fact it is explicitly mentioned in the award description, sportsmanship plays little or no impact in the selection of Masterton winners.
I think the man who best fits this description this season is Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins. Bergeron essentially lost his 2007/08 season to a concussion. He only managed to play ten games. Although he was back last season, he was not the same player he had been in the past. This year he has been the top scorer on the Boston Bruins and is on the roster for the Canadian Olympic Team.

The Worst Penalty Kill Ever
by PuckStopsHere on 01/15/10 at 02:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Toronto Maple Leafs have the worst penalty kill in the NHL this season. They have killed 68.9% of opposing team's penalties. The second worst team is the Edmonton Oilers who are over 7% better with a 76% success rate. The NHL has recorded penalty kill success rates since the 1963/64 season and this year's Leafs team has the third worst rate in history. Behind the Net Hockey has a nice summary of the worst penalty kills in history.
The two teams that were worse in raw percentage than this year's Maple Leafs are the 1979/80 Los Angeles Kings and the 1982/83 Kings who came in at 67.7% and 68.24% respectively. With a bad game or two, the Leafs could be in that range. In fact at times they have fallen behind the 83 Kings penalty kill rate only to recover a bit.

Top Defenceman So Far
by PuckStopsHere on 01/14/10 at 01:36 PM ET
Comments (0)
In December I picked Mike Green of the Washington Capitals as the top defenceman in the season so far. At that point, the race for Norris Trophy was most likely between Green, Duncan Keith of Chicago and Drew Doughty of Los Angeles. Since that time, Doughty has fallen off the pace and Keith has come on strong. He is closing the gap in points and +/- with Green. Currently Keith has 42 points to Green's 46 and has a +16 to Green's +17. The main difference between them comes in the fact that Duncan Keith plays against the some of the toughest opposition that Chicago faces and Green plays against a more average level of competition. It is in the tougher competition he faces that Duncan Keith that he makes himself the Norris Trophy leader at this point.
Duncan Keith is clearly having the best season of his NHL career to date. In 46 games played he has 42 points. His previous best (established last season) was 44 points and that took 77 games and that was a strong enough season defensively to earn Keith a sixth place finish in the Norris Trophy voting. Keith has maintained his defensive strength and added an offensive component to his game that makes him the second best offensive defenceman in the world (behind Mike Green). Keith has established himself as the best defenceman in the league so far this season.

NHL Officiating On Trial
by PuckStopsHere on 01/13/10 at 01:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
In order for the NHL to be a credible sports league, the impression must exist that teams decide who wins the games on the ice. There cannot be an impression that officials (either on or off ice) can decide these things. Reality is that decisions by officials often impact NHL games. As long as any influence is random and cancels out in the longterm, it is an acceptable situation for the NHL, but this is not an acceptable position for the NHL public. Many members of the public must believe that teams are the only factor in deciding who wins games in order for the league to maintain credibility.
That is why the allegations that referee Stephane Auger was out to get Alexandre Burrows of the Vancouver Canucks in Monday night's game versus Nashville (which Nashville won 3-2) are serious. It opens the door to fans who had previously believed that the players decide games to the idea that officials play a much bigger role in the outcomes.

Thrashers Franchise Changing Decision
by PuckStopsHere on 01/12/10 at 01:26 PM ET
Comments (0)
Ilya Kovalchuk has been the best player in Atlanta Thrasher franchise history. Ilya Kovalchuk will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. How will the Atlanta Thrashers handle the likely loss of their best player? Do they trade him before the NHL trade deadline? That would trigger a likely end to any hope of contending for a playoff berth this season. Currently Atlanta sits four points back of eighth seed Montreal in the East Conference with three games in hand. They are currently mired in a slump where they have won only one of their last eleven games. Before it started, they looked like a sleeper team that could make some noise in a playoff run.
There are plenty of reasons to imagine that Kovalchuk will not want to return to Atlanta. Atlanta is a franchise that has never won a playoff game in their history. Kovalchuk may want a better chance of winning. Atlanta is not a financially strong franchise. Atlanta ownership has been fighting one another in court and not put sufficient capital behind the franchise. They are a strong contender to be one of the next teams that the NHL is forced to keep alive on life support (much like the Phoenix Coyotes).

Worst Regular So Far This Season
by PuckStopsHere on 01/11/10 at 09:07 PM ET

In December, I picked Kyle Chipchura of the Anaheim Ducks as the player who had been the worst regular so far this season. He has played himself out of that dishonor by scoring 3 goals since that point.
So far this season, we have seen competition for the worst regular in the league. Vesa Toskala of Toronto was the early season pick. He has improved his game somewhat since that low point. Brad Richardson of the Los Angeles Kings came next. But in time he started scoring. Next up was Andrew Peters of the New Jersey Devils. Peters lost the spot by losing his status as a regular. He has only played three games since December 2nd. Next I made my selection of Kyle Chipchura.

Rumor — our source in the Bay Area (who provides us nice photos of events like WWDC14) has learned through the grape vine that Apple intends to make a big splash this Fall with the releases of their next desktop and mobile operating systems, by releasing them at the same time. This would be a first for Apple.
The reasons make perfect sense when one considers Apple's suite of technologies under the Continuity umbrella. If Apple did not release both operating systems at the same time, it would make a myriad of new features virtually useless:
- Handoff: start writing an email, message or work on a project on one device and then complete it on another.
- SMS Messaging: using your Mac to SMS text non-iPhone users.
- Mac Phone: using your Mac to answer calls from your iPhone.
- Instant Hotspot: enabling your iPhone to be a hotspot for other iOS or Macs without having to touch the iPhone.
Again, these are some pretty cool features, but without both OS X Yosemite AND iOS 8 these features sit dormant unable to do anything.

SAN FRANCISCO _ Brandon Belt gratefully accepted his place on the National League All-Star team Friday, having won a fan balloting over Pittsburgh's Starling Marte with 10.4 million votes. Continue Reading
UPDATED: Giants' Johnny Cueto goes the distance vs. Rockies, makes bid to start for NL All-Stars
Updated from version posted at the final out. -AB
SAN FRANCISCO – As the Giants went through the handshake line Wednesday night, many of them were not aware that their 5-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies lifted them to the best record in the major leagues.
Some were surprised to learn that they had improved to an astounding 16-2 in Johnny Cueto's starts. They didn't have the stats in front of them to know that Cueto's fourth complete game made him the outright major league leader, or that he became the first Giants pitcher to 13 victories prior to the All-Star break since 1993, when John Burkett was on his way to the club's last 20-win season.
In that moment, they only considered the performance they had witnessed. And they did more than tip their caps to it.
The Giants took off their black hats and uniformly tucked them into the crook of an arm, just as Cueto does every time he records the third out in an inning.
"I think the reason Johnny is doing so well is that he takes off his hat every time he's done pitching," said Brandon Belt, smiling. "We felt we had to join him today. I'm going to have to take credit for it. I mentioned it to the other infielders. I feel like I heard it from somewhere else. But as of now, it's me until they come forward."
No player in baseball can take more credit for shaping a division race. Cueto (13-1) fired a five-hitter, struck out eight and walked one while taking the NL in victories. He leads the NL in innings pitched.
And with the Giants' radioactive bullpen oozing toward the break, Cueto did better than minimize exposure. He sealed the game behind leaden doors.
Giants notes: Health, not exasperation, leads to a change in chaotic bullpen; etc.
SAN FRANCISCO – The Giants changed the composition of their chaotic bullpen on Wednesday, but not out of exasperation.
The club placed Cory Gearrin on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained right shoulder, one day after the right-hander served up a three-run home run to Colorado's Nolan Arenado. Right-hander Albert Suarez rejoined the bullpen and could be used anywhere from long relief to a setup role, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
UPDATED: Giants will meet to discuss caustic bullpen after another blown lead, Nolan Arenado slugs Rockies to victory
Updated from version posted at the final out. -AB
SAN FRANCISCO – Stop if you've heard this one before: Nolan Arenado destroyed the Giants again Tuesday night. And how's this for a retread angle: the Giants bullpen blew another late lead.
You could say the two storylines dovetailed in a 7-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies at AT&T Park. But Arenado's seventh-inning shot into the bleachers had more of a vapor trail.
Arenado clocked a three-run home run off right-hander Cory Gearrin, the Giants bullpen tied the Reds for the major league lead with 17 blown saves and they wasted six strong innings from Madison Bumgarner in addition to two spectacular catches from right fielder Mac Williamson.
The Giants (53-33) fell to 42-8 when leading after six innings. The bullpen situation sure feels more critical than that, though — maybe because three of those losses have come in the past eight games.
Meetings will ensue, Bruce Bochy said — first with pitching coach Dave Righetti and bullpen coach Mark Gardner.
"And I may get with a couple (relievers)," Bochy said. "We're trying to get this sorted out. At times, they're really good, so you're sticking with them. You're looking for someone to step up and take over a role. That's why I've been trying to get matchups the best I can, and I'll take every matchup we had tonight. It just didn't work out."
The result was so predictable when Arenado stood in the box with the Giants leading 2-1 in the seventh. Colorado's All-Star-bound third baseman has pummeled them like no hitter in recent history.
And the Giants bullpen is having the hardest time holding leads these days.
Arenado is batting .367 with eight doubles, four home runs and 21 RBIs in just 12 games against the Giants this season. If you think that 21 RBIs in a dozen games sounds like a lot, it is. In the last 12 seasons, only one other Giants opponent has driven in that many runs against them: Arenado, when he finished with 24 RBIs last year.
Giants notes: Bochy scratches Gregor Blanco, targets Friday for Denard Span's return, etc.
SAN FRANCISCO – One of these days, Bruce Bochy will be able to write his lineups in ink again. For now, a pencil is safer. Preferably one with an eraser on the end.
The Giants had to make a lineup scratch Tuesday. Gregor Blanco, who hadn't played since hyperextending his knee Saturday at Arizona, was supposed to return to the lineup as the center fielder and leadoff hitter.
But he experienced too much lingering discomfort when he tried to take fly balls and hit on the field. So the Giants replaced him with Mac Williamson and shifted Angel Pagan from left field to center.
Blanco said he hyperextended his left knee when his foot snagged in the grass while he planted to make a throw Saturday at Chase Field. No tests have been scheduled as of now.
The Giants anticipate getting one outfielder back on Friday, though. Bochy said center fielder Denard Span was beginning to ramp up activities after getting an injection in his sore neck. If all goes well, he could return to the lineup for the series opener with Arizona.
Matt Duffy (strained Achilles tendon) hit on the field for the first time after going on the disabled list and the Giants anticipate having a minor league rehab game schedule plotted out for Hunter Pence (right hamstring tendon surgery) by the weekend.
But Bochy said he doesn't anticipate getting any more players off the disabled list until after the All-Star break.
Infielder Kelby Tomlinson is the closest. He'll DH for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday and then play the field through the weekend.
Second baseman Joe Panik (concussion) is still resting and isn't a candidate to return until after the break. Panik acknowledged in an interview with 95.7 The Game that he tried to play through headaches and vision issues without telling trainers after being struck by the helmet with a pitch June 18.
The Rockies made two roster moves. They activated right-hander Tyler Chatwood to make the start Tuesday, and optioned right-hander Eddie Butler. The club also activated right-hander Adam Ottavino, an important bullpen piece who is returning from Tommy John surgery he underwent in May, 2015. The club placed right-hander Justin Miller on the DL with a strained oblique.
LF Pagan, CF Parker, 1B Belt, C Posey, SS Crawford, 3B Gillaspie, 2B Peña, RF Williamson, LHP Bumgarner.
CF Blackmon, 2B LeMahieu, 3B Arenado, RF Gonzalez, SS Story, LF Raburn, 1B Reynolds, C Hundley, RHP Chatwood.
Final Vote candidate Brandon Belt hopes to join Bumgarner, Cueto and Posey as NL All-Stars
SAN FRANCISCO – Brandon Belt is confident that Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Buster Posey will represent the Giants well as National League All-Stars.
Belt is just as confident that Giants fans will do their best to get him to San Diego, too.
Bumgarner and Cueto were named to the NL pitching staff on Tuesday; Posey won the fan balloting to start at catcher for the third time. Although both Belt and shortstop Brandon Crawford were snubbed, Belt is one of five names on the Final Vote ballot.
"The other guys are very, very good, and it's tough competition," said Belt, who is up against Rockies shortstop Trevor Story, Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb, Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun and Pirates outfielder Starling Marte. "But I have a lot of faith in our fans. They vote very, very well."
It helps that the Cubs don't have a player in contention for the final vote. Their fans almost swept the vote, electing five out of eight starters including the entire infield. The election of Cubs shortstop Addison Russell, who is batting .238, all but ensured that Crawford would be snubbed despite leading the major leagues in defensive WAR and leading all major league shortstops with 53 RBIs.
Dodgers rookie Corey Seager was the only other shortstop selected as an NL reserve.
Bumgarner (9-4, 2.20 ERA), now a four-time All-Star, will attend the game at San Diego's Petco Park. But because he is expected to start on Sunday, NL manager Terry Collins could replace him on the roster.
Both Bumgarner and Cueto made the team via the players' ballot, along with the Mets' Noah Syndergaard, the Cubs' Jake Arrieta and the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw.
Although Cueto's selection was as automatic as Bumgarner's, the right-hander was not taking anything for granted. He said he had felt slighted several times in the past when he had the numbers but didn't make the team. It's just Cueto's second All-Star selection despite several stellar seasons with the Reds.
Cueto is tied for the NL lead with 12 wins, he leads the majors with 112 1/3 innings, and the Giants are 15-2 in his starts. With Kershaw on the disabled list, Bumgarner likely ineligible and Arrieta scuffling of late, does Cueto have a shot to start the game?
"Oh, I think it'd be a honor," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We never complain about our pitchers being in the All-Star game. He definitely could go two innings. We know what a great game it is and how important it is for those players to play in it."
Cueto laughed when asked if Collins is familiar with his work. Cueto tossed a shutout against Collins' Mets in Game 2 of the World Series last October. The right-hander said his All-Star experience would be enhanced if he got to throw to Posey.
"That would be the best because he's my favorite catcher," Cueto said through interpreter Geoff Head. "He knows my tricks. I wouldn't have to teach my tricks to another catcher."
Posey will be making his fourth All-Star appearance and his third as the starter, after rallying to overtake the Cardinals' Yadier Molina in the final round of fan balloting. Posey is coming on strong at the plate in recent weeks, and has raised his average to .291 with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs. He has been strong defensively all season, and is throwing out runners at the best rate of his career. His 59 percent success rate leads all NL catchers.
The Giants lead the majors with 53 victories, so a fourth representative would appear to be justified. Belt didn't make the cut at first base, where the Cubs' Anthony Rizzo was elected a starter and the Diamondbacks' Paul Goldschmidt and the host Padres' Wil Myers were named as reserves.
But Belt leads the NL with 26 doubles and he's sixth with a .398 on-base percentage.
"The three guys in there definitely deserve to go," Belt said. "Bum's been Bum, Cueto's been an ace and Buster is Buster. He's been one of the most valuable players in the league for a couple years now. It does suck to not see Craw go because he's just as deserving as anyone else who made the team.
"I'm fortunate to still be in the running. Hopefully I can sneak in there."
Fans can vote by text to 89269 (Belt's code is N1) until Friday at 1 p.m. Fans also can vote via Twitter on Friday only before 1 p.m. by tweeting the hashtag #votebelt.
Belt said he found out he would be on the final ballot when he went in a side room in the clubhouse and saw a TV monitor showing mockups of the announcements that will be made to fans to vote for him.
"I put it together," Belt said. "I'm already texting my friends and saying, `Get on it. Let's do it.'"
Belt has a distinct advantage because the Giants have two home games before Friday and will play in front of sellout crowds; the Diamondbacks also two home games, the Rockies have one and the Brewers and Pirates are on the road.
And, again, none of Belt's opponents are Cubs.

UPDATED: Giants blow one lead, protect another as Peña's double in the 11th beats Diamondbacks
Updated from version posted at the final out. -AB
PHOENIX – The key to surviving in a major league bullpen is to have good stuff and a short memory. A little counsel goes a long way, too.
Josh Osich was so upset Saturday night after issuing a four-pitch walk to Jake Lamb that contributed to a blown lead that he called former teammate Jeremy Affeldt. The crux of the recently retired pitcher's message: "Dude, you throw a 97 mph sinker. Trust it."
When Osich got another crack at Lamb on Sunday, he did. He struck out the left-handed batter to preserve a tie in the 10th inning, Ramiro Peña came off the bench to hit an RBI double in the 11th and Santiago Casilla stranded a runner at third base as the Giants survived with a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
Denard Span gets MRI, Gregor Blanco is a late scratch and the Giants' lineup is … creative
PHOENIX – There are days when Bruce Bochy might be tempted to pick the lineup out of his hat. Then there are days like Sunday, when he barely has nine slips of paper.
No, this is not what the Giants envisioned when they broke camp in Arizona three months ago:

The term "Booga" is used in "booga language" by highly intelligent, professional individuals. Booga language is primarily written and hardly spoken because of its complex structure. Take the first letter of a word and place it at the end. Then add "booga" as the finishing touch. It was founded by Dr. JoMer of the National Institute of Boogacity (pronounced boog-ocity). Use with caution. Others with inferior intellectual capacity will not understand this language and will become engraged with jealousy.

"Joseph Polk is a fantastic trainer and all around great person. I love how his classes are always inventive, challenging and never boring. Core has other trainers who are also on top of their game.
