Our visit to Staybridge Suites was wonderful. After staying in multiple hotels over the last four months of travel, I will be returning here! Attention is paid to the smaller details that really help turn travel into not such a big burden. The staff was incredible and was always available and easily found. The hotel property was clean and easy to navigate, safe, and welcoming.
Good price for stay in LA

If you want to stay here for a short time and want to have a chance to Redondo Beach. This is really good place for family but not business. Here are several supermarkets and convenience stores for your daily supply.
Just remind that this hotel doesn't have an elevator.
Good place with a good price.

Preds Extend Contracts of AHL Coaching Staff
Monday, 04.27.2009 / 11:34 AM CT / News
By Press Release - Nashville Predators
Ads Begin West Division Finals Thursday Night
Ads Begin West Division Finals Thursday Night
Milwaukee, WI – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has agreed to contract extensions with Milwaukee Admirals Head Coach Lane Lambert and Admirals Assistant Coach Brad Lauer. Terms of the deals were not disclosed.
In two seasons at the helm of the Admirals ship, Lambert has accumulated a 93-51-3-13 record and 202 points, the second most points by a Milwaukee head coach in his first two years in franchise history. During the 2008-09 regular season he led the Admirals to the West Division Title with a 49-22-3-6 mark and 107 points, which was tied for the most points in the entire league, and the 15 point differential between the Ads and second place Peoria was the most in the AHL since 2003. This season the Admirals also became the first franchise in American Hockey League history to post six consecutive seasons of 90 or more points and 40 or more wins.
Under Lambert's tutelage, the Admirals have seen 11 players suit up for both the Admirals and the Predators including Cal O'Reilly, Mike Santorelli, Ryan Jones, Patric Hornqvist, Antti Pihlstrom, Alexander Sulzer, and Jed Ortmeyer this season.
Prior to taking over the reigns of the team, the Melfort, SK native spent a season as an Admirals assistant coach. He also served as an assistant for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in 2005-06 and was the head coach of the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League in 2004-05. Lambert spent 18 seasons as a played and finished his career with 58 goals and 67 assists for 125 points and 521 penalty minutes in 283 NHL games with the Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers, and Quebec Nordiques.
Lauer is in his second season with the Admirals as Lambert's top assistant. The Humboldt, SK native is in charge of running the team's penalty killing unit, which for the first time in franchise history led the league, vanquishing 87% of opponent power-plays. Lauer also heads up the team's defensive corps, which allowed just 195 goals on the year, the second fewest goals against in the AHL.
Lauer comes to the Admirals after five successful seasons as an assistant coach for the Kootenay Ice of the WHL. In those five campaigns with the Ice the team picked up over 100 points twice and they won 40 games during three campaigns. The New York Islanders second round pick in the 1985 draft, Lauer completed a 16-year playing career after the 2001-02 season. In that time he posted 111 points on 44 goals and 67 assists in 323 career NHL games with the Islanders, Chicago Blackhawks, Ottawa Senators, and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Lambert, Lauer and the Admirals continue their playoff run with Game 1 of the West Division Finals on Thursday, April 30th at 7:00 pm at the Bradley Center with Game 2 set for Saturday, May 2nd at 7:00 pm. Fans can purchase individual tickets for the playoffsby calling Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000, online at www.ticketmaster.com, or in person at the Admirals office (510 W.

USDA requests meeting with DU on key farm bill and waterfowl conservation programs
WASHINGTON, March 14, 2007 - Ducks Unlimited (DU) will meet with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Mike Johanns and Deputy Secretary Chuck Conner on Thursday, March 15 to discuss the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and the farm bill. USDA requested the meeting.
CRP provides a secure income to farmers, ranchers and other landowners to protect soil and water and provide wildlife habitat by converting inferior cropland back into more natural habitat. Landowners sign 10- or 15-year contracts to protect this highly erodible land. One of the most successful wildlife habitat conservation programs ever, CRP has conserved more than 37 million acres since 1986.
DU wants to maintain at least 8 million acres of CRP land in the Prairie Pothole Region – the most important duck breeding area in the world. Annually, almost 2-1/2 million ducks are produced on this CRP land. That's more ducks than are taken by hunters in the 17-state Atlantic Flyway and is about the same amount of ducks taken by Texas and Arkansas hunters combined in 2005. Some 79 percent of enrolled CRP acres are set to expire in the Prairie Pothole Region by 2010.
DU Executive Vice President Don Young along with other DU staff will meet with secretary Johanns and deputy secretary Conner.
"This is an important opportunity to maintain federal farm bill conservation programs vital to our wetlands and waterfowl conservation mission, and to the farmers and ranchers that depend on them as stable income sources," Young said. "CRP lands also benefit farmers and ranchers by reducing the loss of valuable topsoil and protecting water quality. These lands are not fit for traditional row cropping and should remain in a natural cover. We like to say, 'farm the best, conserve the rest.' And CRP lands should be conserved."
Bart James is DU's governmental affairs representative who focuses on the farm bill.
"This visit is a special opportunity to present a widely held perspective to USDA," James said. "CRP is already suffering from low payments to farmers that haven't kept pace with increasing land values. It's important to DU members in the Midwest, many of whom rely on CRP and other farm bill conservation programs on their land."
DU became increasingly concerned that the future of CRP is in question after USDA recently recommended no new general CRP signups for the next two years, and that the agency is considering allowing early CRP contract terminations in 2008. DU contacted the White House in January outlining specific concerns and followed up with a letter to Secretary Johanns on March 5. In the last two weeks, its members also sent thousands of messages to Congress and the Administration urging the protection of CRP.
DU is not alone in its desire to ensure that farmers, ranchers and other landowners continue to have options to put poor cropland into more appropriate uses. To date, thirteen state departments of natural resources have written letters to the USDA expressing their concern for CRP, too.
Also along for the meeting will be DU's Director of Fundraising and Volunteer Relations Joe Breidenbach. His area covers North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. Those states are part of the Prairie Pothole Region.
Contact: Rachel Dawson(202) firstname.lastname@example.com
With more than a million supporters, Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest and most effective wetland and waterfowl conservation organization with almost 12 million acres conserved. The United States alone has lost more than half of its original wetlands - nature's most productive ecosystem - and continues to lose more than 80,000 wetland acres each year.

"Finding Fela!" is a hall-of-mirrors documentary that dissects the complex public persona of the late Afrobeat musician Fela Kuti though the lens of the 2009 Broadway musical biography "Fela!"
Directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney, whose credits include "Taxi to the Dark Side" and "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room," the documentary follows the Broadway cast of "F ela!" to Africa, where they performed the musical live for audiences in Lagos, Nigeria.
The film uses the Broadway musical, which was directed by Bill T. Jones, as a way to pose questions about Fela's constantly shifting identity and his penchant for self-reinvention. (The national tour of the musical came to the Curran Theatre in San Francisco in 2011.)
Gibney recently spoke by phone about the documentary, which opened Aug. 1 in limited release. Here are excerpts from the interview.
Q The movie takes an unconventional approach to Fela's life by using the musical as an entry point. How did it take shape?
A It was organic. The film started out as a straight-ahead, cinéma-vérité film about the musical and taking the act to Nigeria -- Americans performing a play in front of Nigerians. But along the way, the real Fela interposed himself and demanded to be heard. I realized my journey was the same Bill T. Jones had been on -- it seemed an interesting way of framing the life of somebody who died some time ago, and we're rediscovering him now and what made him tick. As we wrestled with the material and structure, it also seemed to have relevance to Fela's own life -- he went on his own search trying to figure out who he was, and maybe he got lost along the way.
Q Where did the idea for the documentary come from?
A I had seen "Fela!" on Broadway and loved it. I got a call from producer Stephen Hendel about doing this -- following the cast back to Lagos. That doesn't become clear until the end of the movie. There were a couple of performances we shot with the Broadway cast and crew, but the original idea for the documentary was Stephen's.
Q Can you describe what the reaction in Lagos was like?
A It was suddenly like he was alive again. I think the cast and crew were properly terrified by the reaction. They're Americans -- would they be accused of inauthenticity? There was some initial skepticism -- it was a vibe in early press conferences. But they were quickly overcome by a spirit of generosity and humility.
Q How long did it take to make the documentary?
A Over two years, and that doesn't even count footage that wasn't shot by me of the off-Broadway workshopping. ... But I do work on a number of different things at the same time -- you take a break, put it aside. Sometimes, you make a film about music and then a heavy political documentary. With talented editors, you don't have to be there tapping them on their shoulder.

Council OKs Chauvin levee work
Published: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 at 11:11 p.m.
Chauvin's flank will soon see more protection.
The Terrebonne Parish Council unanimously approved a contract Wednesday night to begin construction on 4.5 miles of levees that will protect the community from floodwaters traveling through Lake Boudreaux.
"This is going to be a significant improvement in the protection of this area," Parish President Michel Claudet said.
The project involves building levees where none exist from the east Houma surge levees along Thompson Road down about three quarters of a mile parallel to La. 56. It will also fortify levees from an 8-foot elevation to 10 feet, stretching to Bayou Neuf.
"Those two feet mean a lot," Claudet said. "If your levees are just a few inches short it can overtop. We have to be really careful."
Future phases will put 10-foot levees along the entire side of Lake Boudreaux to the Morganza-to-the-Gulf levees.
The goal is to use the lake as a giant bathtub to store surge in the event the Morganza levees are topped. The parish levees would act as a second layer of defense keeping the lake from spilling into adjacent communities, Claudet said.
"This is a tremendous asset because even if surge overtops the Morganza levees, it then has to fill that whole basin before it can be a threat," he said.
Construction could begin before summer and wrap up later this year, said Terrebonne Parish Capital Projects Manager Jeanne Bray.
About 131,000 cubic feet of earth will be trucked in for the levees. Another 85,000 cubic feet will be dredged from a borrow canal and will aid area drainage, Bray said.
Claudet said encasing Lake Boudreaux in 10-foot levees all the way around is a goal of his administration before he leaves office.
"The east side of Lake Boudreaux will all be up to eight feet by the time I am out of office," Claudet said.
The parish has more work to do along La. 57. There is no protection from Ashland south to the Canebreak community. Farther down from that, levees are up to 8 feet tall.
Terrebonne Parish Manager Al Levron said money for that protection is waiting on permits.

Hello to all you freaks and geeks out there! Lunchbox here. We just wanted to drop by and give you a little information about who we are and what we do!
toyz2men was founded by 2 best friends with a common love of all things geek. What started out as a simple phone call and an idea has become something so great in just a matter of months. We started out with a couple massive "toy runs" (as we call them) to get some stock for reviews. Unfortunately, Top Gun and I have a bad habit of not opening Marvel Selects haha..but those runs helped us establish a certain product to focus on and eventually, the boxes opened.
Then came Mid-Ohio Comic Con in Columbus, OH, hosted by Wizard World. This would be our first Comic Con as toyz2men. Our artist, Shawn Langley (@Shawn_Langley), came along for the journey. Shawn is an amazing artist who draws all of our logos and is currently working on a comic called Earthruler. Be sure to stop by his site for some artwork. Just visit langleyeffect.deviantart.com for artwork! At Mid-Ohio Con, I waited in line for over an hour to meet Norman Reedus for the 3rd time (I'm a bit of a Boondock Saints and Walking Dead fan). He noticed our logo on our shirts and then followed us on twitter.
We also achieved a couple more great things at Mid-Ohio. We got shout out videos from David Della Rocco (Rocco from Boondock Saints) and Sean Patrick Flanery (Boondock Saints, Young Indiana Jones, Powder) which absolutely made our day! You can check out the videos on our YouTube channel but be warned, Rocco's shout out is NSFW because of a certain term from Boondock Saints haha.
toyz2men then decided to branch out and do podcasts. Which was one of the best decisions we've ever made because we have a blast with it! We cover any geeky news we can find and give you the toyz2men perspective. We do our podcasts weekly, usually on Tuesdays, and sometimes we'll bring you a couple episodes a week. The podcasts are something we plan on doing as long as we possibly can and we hope all of our listeners out there enjoy it!
We were recently given information from the Monkey in the Cage podcast that The Realm Cast was looking for contributors so we jumped on the chance to work with another group of people who are into everything we are. We appreciate the opportunity to work alongside you guys and we're happy to be a part of this partnership! Thanks for having us on The Realm Cast and thanks to Monkey in the Cage for arranging that!
About the Men.
Top Gun: Likes – G1 Transformers, The Walking Dead, Marvel Comics, PS3 gaming, action figures, the Baltimore Ravens and Batman. Dislikes – anything Michael Bay gets his hands on.
Lunchbox – Likes – The Walking Dead, Boondock Saints, Marvel Comics, DC Comics (Pre-New 52), and Iron Man. Dislikes – Michael Bay and the thought of Robert Downey Jr. getting replaced as Iron Man.
There you have it! Just a little introduction to toyz2men and what we're about. We hope you guys are listening to us on iTunes, PodOmatic, following us on twitter (@toyz2men) and watching our YouTube channel! Be sure to check out toyz2men.wordpress.com and let us know what you'd like to see!
On behalf of Top Gun and toyz2men, thanks for being a fan and stay geeky!

SEBRING – For 20 years, Mary White saw instances of valuable minutes fly by while a patient needing immediate care waited to get a doctor's signature for medication.
But if a bill makes it through the Senate, that could significantly help alleviate the current and projected healthcare workforce shortage in Florida and give nurses more leeway in administering patient assistance and save valuable time.
Friday, the Florida House of Representatives passed the bill (CS/CS/HB 7113) that expands the range of practice for Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (APRN), who have post-graduate college degrees in nursing, by permitting them to prescribe controlled substances if they follow a supervising physician's protocol.
Most importantly, the bill allows certified nurse practitioners who meet certain criteria to register as "Independent Nurse Practitioners" and practice without physician supervision. Independent Nurse Practitioners may also prescribe controlled substances on their own, based on an "exclusionary formulary" or drugs they can't prescribe.
"I worked as a Certified Nurses Assistant and sometimes it was hard to get hold of the doctor. If a nurse practitioner can fullfil some of the doctor's obligations, that would be great. I've seen patients about die because they couldn't find a doctor fast enough to change medications," said White, who worked in Avon Park.
The House passed the bill 74-42, generating support from both sides of the aisle.
According to the Florida Association of Nurse Practitioners, Florida has a shortage of primary care physicians and three million Floridians have inadequate access to basic health care. Twenty-one percent of Floridians are uninsured and eight million Floridians are medically "disenfranchised." In Florida, there are about 14,000 Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners in the state and they are registered nurses who have master's and doctoral degrees.
In general, HB 7113 does not address Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists or certified nurse midwives – only certified nurse practitioners; it allows nurse practitioners to prescribe controlled substances, but only under a physician's supervision via a written protocol; and it limits controlled substance prescribing by independent nurse practitioners not supervised by physicians by allowing a committee of physicians, nurses and a pharmacist to make a list of drugs nurse practitioners may not prescribe.
Diana Chizmas, an APRN at Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center- Care Now, said she was pleased to hear the bill has passed the House and feels it will get through the Senate as well. She said Florida Hospital already has bylaws in place for doctor supervision but the bill would be helpful in an APRN's ability to prescribe controlled medications and wouldn't affect bylaws.
Florida Hospital currently has about 250 physicians, five physicians assistants and six APRNs on staff and Chizmas said as far as the medical workforce shortage, it would free up nurses to fill in some of the doctors' duties.
"It's only going to benefit everyone. It's another step in being able to provide quality care," said Chizmas, who's worked as an APRN for Care Now for six years. "If it passes, it's another step in the process in offering the best health care."
Florida Rep. Cary Pigman, R-Avon Park, vice chair of the House Select Committee on Health Care Workforce Innovation and emergency medicine physician, said Monday the Senate companion bill (SB 1276), was placed on the Special Order Calendar -- the list of bills on second reading to be taken up in session on a particular day and was presented by Sen. Denise Grimsley, R-Sebring.
That bill will allow three hospitals whose trauma centers are being challenged -- Regional Medical Center. Bayonet Point in Pasco County, Blake Medical Center in Manatee County and Ocala Regional Medical Center in Marion County - to remain open but face new fee restrictions.
Pigman said the bill is important because Florida's shortage of primary care providers will only worsen and the state is the "most restrictive" in the U.S. for allowing nurse practitioners the to use all of their training.
Pigman said current law requires a nurse practitioner to establish a supervisory relationship with a physician, even if that physician is not working with the nurse practitioner and just signs charts at the end of the month.
He said many times the supervisory relationship requires the nurse practitioner to pay a significant fee to the physician, with this additional cost being absorbed into the overall health care system.
"Florida residents do not benefit from this increased expenditure," he said. "I believe the new authorities granted to certain Independent Nurse Practitioners under this bill will enhance access to good primary care for Florida residents. In all the states that already grant these authorities, there is no evidence of harm or adverse outcomes."
Besides giving nurses more flexibility in their duties, the bill would also enact more telemedicine regulations, and allow out-of-state physicians to practice telemedicine in Florida only if they have a Florida medical license.
The bill may have a hard time passing through the Senate. Senators may decide to peel off unpopular portions of the bill or ignore its nearly 100 pages all together. In addition to the APRN and trauma center portions of the bill, it also combines about 12 other health care topics, including virtual doctor visits and independence for the APRNs.
Comment from Highlands Regional Medical Center wasn't available Monday.

Instagram is the darling of tech, and the king of all photo apps. It made its founders millions of dollars, and made each of us into top artistic photographers with just our iPhone.
Or so the story goes.
What that simplistic narrative ignores though is that Instagram is being pushed very hard indeed, and its competitor is not another Silicon Valley darling, but a European start-up called EyeEm.
EyeEm is a Berlin based company, founded in February 2011. Like Instagram it offers filtering, sharing, and discovery of photos. It has surged from being 232 most popular free video and photo app on Jan 12th, to being the sixth on Sunday evening:
During that space of time it has reached as high as second in the chart.
The rise of EyeEm comes on the back of furore around changes to Instragram's Terms of Service. Indeed EyeEm blogged the other day that they were committed to users owning their own images. The rise has all mostly happened through word of mouth, and was generally ignored by the tech press.
EyeEm's co-founder Florian Meissner told Techcrunch's Mike Butcher that a lot of the impetus had come from a surge of support from a specific high school in Texas and that they are "currently seeing sign ups a day in six figures". Apparently some users are actually posting screenshots of EyeEm onto Instragram and Twitter (on which they have doubled their number of followers)!

MORGANTOWN - After Shawne Alston's 123-yard performance in No. 5 WVU's season-opening victory over Marshall University talk about the Mountaineers' lack of a running game took a back seat to the passing success of senior quarterback Geno Smith.
However, the sudden loss of Alston, who suffered a deep thigh bruise in the victory over James Madison and saw limited action in the win over Maryland, caused those concerns to resurface as the Mountaineers prepared to enter Big 12 play against Baylor.
Those concerns, however, were somewhat dismissed following Andrew Buie's 82-yard effort in WVU's 70-63 win over the Bears and nearly completely forgotten after the sophomore went off for a career-high 207 yards and two touchdowns in last week's victory over then-No. 11 Texas.
"I don't really know," said Buie about his effort against the Longhorns. "It was a good win against Texas. We were glad that we were able to go out there and put that win together.
"Now, it's about moving forward and getting ready for Texas Tech. I just want to go out and play my game. If the opportunities are there, I just want to make the most of my opportunities and play ball."
Those opportunities, however, may be rare as West Virginia's top rusher will face a Red Raiders' defense that not only leads the Big 12 in total defense (210.0 ypg), but also rushing defense (92.6 ypg).
"The offensive line did a phenomenal job up front and opened big creases (against Texas)," continued Buie, who leads the Mountaineers in rushing with 433 yards and five touchdowns on 83 carries. "The fullbacks did a good job. The guys out on the perimeter did a good job blocking downfield. It was a total team effort on offense that allowed me to get those yards."
A similar effort on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium will help West Virginia maintain their unbeaten mark and take one more step in capturing the team's first Big 12 title in its first season in the conference.
"Defensively, they're one of the top teams in the country," head coach Dana Holgorsen said. "They have given up 200 yards per game, so people haven't moved the ball on them.
"We were in here 16 hours yesterday (Monday) trying to figure out creative ways to get first downs. They do a good job against the run, they do a good job against the pass and the create turnovers, and we're going to have to play as good as we have all year offensively."
That hasn't been a problem in WVU's first five contest as the Mountaineers' lead the Big 12 in passing efficiency (196.0 percent), are second in pass offense (406.8 ypg) and third in both scoring (52.0 ppg) and total offense (570.8 ypg).
"They have a really good defense as well," said Smith. "Every game has its own story, and I expect them to be tough. On the road, it is kind of similar to what we faced this past weekend at Texas with a hostile crowd.
"It should be a good game."

RE: Also worked at JSC
I used to work on some C code(~100MB) once which contained 50% dead code, and my task was to document the functionality. People write bad code to keep their jobs. Have seen it so many times in the industry, and it has tremendously worked. Is it right/wrong. I used to feel at one point that it was wrong.

The combat feels kind of clunky and not very fluid in the beginning. I felt it when I first started playing, but I eventually either got used to it or it went away after I got fun abilities to use.
I invited 2 of my friends to play with me and they both said the exact same thing when they started, saying the combat felt really clunky. (Yes, they both used that exact word.) One of them stopped playing and said he might try again once the game's a bit more polished and that D3 and TL2 felt better. The other friend still plays, but only when I bug him to play with me.
After hearing this from my friends (and experiencing it again myself when I created a new character to play with them), I did a quick forum search and found that I wasn't the only one that felt the combat, at least in the early stages, felt clunky.
I hope GGG makes this better because it seems to alienate new players.

My son is just over 4 years old. I got him a iTouch (mainly because I couldn't get my hands on the Nokia M810. another story). All I had to show him was how to switch on/off get into items. I'm amazed at how quickly he picked it up. So I have a couple of his DVD's on it, some pictures (mainly word association pictures) and some kids games.
So what does support have to do with this? Well I thought I might as well try writing some apps for the device. As there are a few games and things in real life that could port over and he would enjoy.
So I find that you have to own a Mac to actually do this.😦 I did a google around but nothing that easy to follow. So I figured maybe I can just buy leopard and install in a VMWare. Again I can't find anything of note there. So I ring the customer sales support line. It went a little something like this (short version)..
Me: Hi I want to know is it possible to run leopard in VMWare?
Rep: Oh sure! VMWare runs on apple macs fine and you can run all the windows programs.
Me: No I mean I want to run leopard in VMWare.
Rep: Oh you can do that although leopard normally runs on the mac itself and you run windows in the VMWare.
Me: No I mean run it in VMWare in Windows.
Rep: Yes VMWare runs windows fine.
Me: No I mean I want to run the VMWare on windows
Rep: Oh you can't run VMWare on windows, it only works on the Mac.
Me: Ok I want to use a windows to run windows vmware which will run leopard OS.
Rep: Oh no you can't do that.
I half expected this but the overall conversation was funny as it reminded me of the Simpsons where Marge is asking an Australian bartender for coffee.
So now I need to find a Mac to play with. will see if I can souce a cheap one.

A dolphand is a hand that is a dolphin. The word was first used by Brock Baker in 2011 and is slowly gaining popularity. Dolphands need to be kept in water and be fed fish food regularly.

The Navy and the services contractor for its Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) have shortened the time line to transition to a new structure for the massive Intranet.
The $3.5 billion NGEN contract is a follow-on to the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet. It converts the massive NMCI network -- a contract originally awarded in 2000 that is the largest outsourced federal IT program -- to a government-owned system with about 400,000 seats and 800,000 users. A team of contractors led by Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services will operate most of NGEN, but the U.S. Marines will both own and operate their portion of the network.
NGEN's implementation has been delayed by bid protests and by the government shutdown last fall, requiring new a new transition timeline to be worked out, U.S. Navy Capt. Michael Abreu said at an April 4 press briefing in Washington. According to Abreu, who is the Navy's NGEN contract manager, the contract has a 400-day transition period.
DOD announces long-awaited NGEN contract
NGEN's risky choices
Abreu and Bill Toti, HP's vice president for Navy and Marine Corps accounts, said the new timeline has the Navy and Hewlett-Packard completing the transition by December. That would cut 88 days from the contractual 400 day-period that had been extended by initial protests from Harris Corp. and Computer Sciences Corp. last summer, and by the government shutdown in the fall. The Government Accountability Office denied Harris' protest in a November ruling, while CSC dropped its protest in August.
Initially, network capabilities provided under NGEN will remain the same as the services provided by the NMCI contract in 2010 and network users won't see many differences. The differences, Abreu said, will come on back-end kinds of operations that top-level IT Navy managers deal with, like service ordering and provisioning and other support functions.
The new infrastructure/services model is aimed at increasing government operational and design control of the network, but will also give the Navy better insight into costs and cost efficiencies.
The Navy is already seeing some of those benefits, according to Abreu. With the new ability to see down into services structures and pricing, the Navy is seeing about $20 million in monthly savings compared to older contracts.
By acquiring the NMCI network infrastructure and leaving the services to NGEN provider H-P, the Navy strengthens it capabilities significantly, according to Toti. As the NMCI evolved, Abreu said, the Navy started thinking of it as a weapons system, not simply as infrastructure that supported the Navy's business operations.
Owning the network, he said, allows the Navy to make more strategic decisions regarding the equipment, while allowing H-P to managed what services traverse it.
Abreu said the new structure of NGEN and NCMI was saving over $1 billion in defense money -- reiterating projections made by Sean Stackley, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, when the NGEN contract was first awarded.

As the pastor at Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church in Lincoln, Chris Anderson is always searching for ways to serve the elderly in his congregation.
In February when Dee Eicher was struggling with the loss of his wife, Pastor Chris came up with a plan to lift the spirits of his long-time friend. Dee Eicher met his future wife Luetta in their hometown of Milford.
After six decades of wedded bliss, Luetta passed away in mid-February. Pastor Chris Anderson had a feeling that a trip India to witness at the orphanage the church sponsors, would help give Dee's life new value.
In addition to 6 incredible days at the orphanage, Dee also got to spend 4 days in Mariani, India where he was stationed while serving in the army in 1943 to 1945.
Dee was so moved by his trip to see the orphans that he would love to go back to India again next year. If he remains as healthy as he is today, Dee will be able to mark his 90th birthday with a return trip to see the children that helped bring new meaning to his life.

Pronova's hypertriglyceridemia drug TAK-085 superior to EPA in Phase III trial
Lysaker/Osaka – Norwegian Pronova and its Japanese marketing partner Takeda Pharmaceuticals have a good chances of entering the Japanese drug market with their compound TAK-085, an omega-3 acid ethyl ester for treatment of for patients with hypertriglyceridemia. In a Phase III trial, a 4 gramme dose of TAK-085 reached the primary endpoint of percent change of from baseline in triglycerides at the end-of-treatment after 12 weeks and was superior to the active comparator EPA (1.8 grammes), which is already approved for the Japanese market. A dose of 2 grammes of TAK-085 was as effective as EPA. In addition, none of the drugs, which were tested on 200 patients each, demonstrated any statistically significant change in LDL cholesterol. TAK-085, which is already approved in Europe and the US, was safe and well tolerated, with the safety profile comparable to EPA. Takeda and Pronova said they are aiming to submit a New Drug Application in Japan before March 31, 2012. TAK-085 is a Omega 3-derived prescription drug containing EPA-E (highly purified eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester) and DHA-E (highly purified docosahexaenoic acid) and is marketed as LovazaTM in the U.S. with the indication of an adjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride (TG) levels in adult patients with severe (≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia.Beside the hypertiglyceridemia indication, in certain European countries including Italy, France, Germany, Spain, the UK, it is also marketed for, adjuvant treatment in secondary prevention after myocardial infarction, in addition to other standard therapy (e.g. statins, antiplatelet drugs, betablockers, ACE inhibitors).

I hate The police force and Local government officials
I really hate the Police force and the Local government officials. I will sue them if i could. They are the most backminded, heartless people on the face of the earth. They have no human sympathy at all.
I was strolling with my babe at night and they stopped their bus and raided me leaving my girlfriend on the streets. I asked them what i did and their reply was a gruesome dirty dumbfounding slap across my face. I had to bail my self with 2000 Naira. The other day, i boarded a bike going to my friends house and they stopped me, they asked me for my I.D Card and i showed them. Knowing that they couldn't get anything from me, they asked me for my national identity card and i told them i did not have it. Can you imagine that, this devils in uniform arrested me and i had to bail myself with 2,500. Ever since then, i have hated this set of people called "our friends"
The one with the local government officials is not too intense, they have not really offended me but they have offended many people around me. They are really incarnates of the devil and i just wish i could sue these people because they are making life a lot more difficult for we Nigerians.

Re: I hate The police force and Local government officials
It is tough I know and I generally try to avoid them. Police in Nigeria are dangerous to your health, your sanity, your livelihood and your continued freedom
What you could do is take the details of the particular police man that you are dealing with, his name and his police command/or police station of origin. Once you have that, report them at every point where you can report. A petition to the Police Service Commission, a letter to a newspaper that reports crime (Sun News Paper). Get their names in print and let us begin to shame them and their bosses in their personal capacity. Let us make a hew and cry about it. If we can get pictures or video recordings let us do so.
People are losing their lives to illegal raids and arrests because they refused to or were unable to pay bribes to buy their freedom. If they ask you for money ask for a receipt. They won't give you but they will become wary.
Always, always make sure that someone else knows you have been picked up by the police. Some police stations have been reported to shoot people in their yard on allegations of armed robbery. This report has never been effectively addressed by the police so don't become a victim.

Legislature buying specious argument
Published: Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 7:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: I'm sick and tired of reading all this garbage about smoking. The N.C. Legislature is passing another punitive tax on cigarettes, supposedly to stop teenagers from this noxious habit. That's a joke. Kids today pay $5 for one marijuana joint! Do you think they wouldn't pay a quarter for a cigarette?
There's no factual evidence that secondhand smoke causes cancer or any other disease! The figures used are specious, at best, as they don't separate those that are actually a result of cigarette smoke and that of natural disease. The one extensive test for secondhand smoke was made several years ago using mice in an enclosed cage, subjected to smoke 24/7 for months. The results were inconclusive.
This is simply a punitive tax imposed on a voiceless minority, and is undemocratic, to say the least.
They talk about the costs of smoker-related treatment to the taxpayer. Smokers are paying the excessive taxes that support that treatment. Who's paying the expense for alcohol-related deaths and treatment? More are killed or die every year from that than smoking. Let's put a $5 tax on every bottle of booze and six-pack. That would really be effective.

History Of Extreme Programming
Short history ...
found himself dictating practice on a project for which he had assumed some personal risk. Unsure of which to emphasize more, he chose to "turn all the knobs to ten."
More history ...
Kent drew on the experiences of many when he chose which knobs to turn. And the knobs alone only set the course, many more made it work. Finally the technology, or at least the ideas motivating the technology, played an important role too. At risk of writing myself too firmly into XP's history, I begin this page with a summary of events. --

). He introduces specific practices to preserve design flexibility in the face of customer demands and fluid schedules.
favors high risk for high reward; launches the PLoP conference to create a literature of practical programming experience. The group nurtures a set of values that become core to XP.
Harmonic Convergence
Kent writes programming patterns for a client. They are well received, but not totally effective. If not the whole solution, they are at least an important part. The patterns grow to become

Kent works on the WellFleet
project for HewittAssociates
. Here he first consistently teaches a team
ing, the
, and clear
s. The project goes into production with very little of the usual running around. (Three years later (mid 1999) the team culture is still firmly in place).
Kent is retained to performance tune Chrysler payroll project. He finds deeper problems, tells top management to start over, then accepts the job of coaching the team. This is the point at which Kent "turns the knobs", drawing on his experience with Smalltalk, Patterns and Hillside. Kent recruits Ron to make it so.
, Chrysler CIO, offers up her brightest (and probably most expensive) programming team working on an important Y2K problem to Kent to do with as he pleases. A visionary in her own right she believes in Kent and supports his new methodology.
Embracing Reflection
Ron takes coaching position on restarted Chrysler project; draws on personal programming and managing experience for confidence; relies on Kent for initiative; is exempt from assigned tasks so he is free to tune the process.
(Many events go here. Kent or Ron will have to report them. Needless to say, both Kent and Ron had the self confidence to do something different, and enough reflective ability to see what that should be, even under pressure.)
Ron begins writing about XP on wiki and finds a positive reception, probably due to self selection of the audience. Ron writes lots more; some readers miss wiki before XP; others try XP and report mixed results; Ron helps.
The productivity and integrity of the way
still fascinates me. Much of the early battle stories and analysis of XP seemed to have been formed on wiki - and real fast. Has a possible downside been the sliding away of older patterns contributors who aren't convinced of the historic potential in XP but couldn't avoid getting bogged down in the process?
At what point, if ever, does somebody snapshot and publish on a read-only form such as book, paper or conventional web page? What happens to the wiki material after that point? Meanwhile, how would one partition off a 'hot topic' for the benefit of those who want maturer reflection on 'older' topics? --
View the above as a
. I was careful to sign the introduction so that others could see the source of any bias. The remainder, without signature, simply sets the style for a page that has plenty of room for development. --
IMHO, wiki is not for historical recording. It is for exchange. As with a sand dune, anything can shift at any time. I've lost a few key lines on wiki over time, but that is part of the wabi sabi of wikiwiki. The gain in communication vastly exceeds the historical loss. When I need a page retained, I copy it into a Word file for future reference. In proper wiki fashion, Ward would expect Kent or Ron to add / amend the above story, and the previous version would be
. --
, happy to have seen the above story.
It kind of waters down the joint ownership test, but couldn't we prevent information loss by adding a simple audit trail to the wiki ? Hard disk is pretty cheap if you're storing ascii, and edits aren't all THAT frequent, are they ? If we did this, perhaps the simplest way to make the resulting screeds of audit trail info useful and accessible would be to permit users to travel in time (read only) by setting a datetime field at the top of the page. Doubtless this fairly unwikilike idea has already been proposed and discarded elsewhere on the wiki (and perhaps declared irrelevant and thus deleted ... ) --

CEZ Receives Three Bids for Temelin Nuclear Power Project
CEZ AS, the Czech Republic's largest producer of electricity, received three bids for its project to build two new reactors at the Temelin nuclear power station.
Westinghouse Electric Corp., Areva SA and a Russian-Czech consortium led by Rosatom Corp.'s Atomstroyexport unit, the three bidders selected by CEZ in 2010, submitted their final offers today, the Prague-based utility said in an e-mailed statement.
The new third-generation reactors are intended to replace CEZ's aged coal-fired plants, reduce carbon dioxide emissions and solidify the Czech Republic's position as a regional power exporter. CEZ will choose the winner of the tender, whose value is estimated by analysts at $10 billion, before the end of 2013 and the construction should start no later than 2016, it said.
"The construction of new Temelin reactors is a key pillar of CEZ's strategy," Chief Executive Officer Daniel Benes said in the statement. "Today marks a significant step towards ensuring steady electricity supply for Czech customers for decades to come."
CEZ fell 0.7 percent to 692.2 koruna at 12:07 p.m. in Prague. The stock has lost 12 percent of its value this year.
The company said it may hold another public tender to choose a strategic partner that would help it finance the Temelin expansion after the supplier is chosen in 2013. Electricite de France SA, the largest nuclear-reactor operator in Europe, is among companies that have held talks with CEZ on a possible partnership.
While CEZ is capable of financing the construction of Temelin units 3 and 4 on its own through a combination of cash flow and debt, inviting another investor remains an option because it would leave the Czech utility a freer hand to invest in other projects, Benes said last month.

Report shows steep drop in school enrollment in Bihar
By Ajay Kumar - PATNA
Published: 22nd Sep 2013 10:00:53 AM
The claim of a turnaround in Bihar, particularly in the field of education and health, the "Nitish Model" of development seems to have fallen flat. Bihar has witnessed 11.6%—the biggest decline in the school enrollment at the primary level in the country. Madhya Pradesh saw the lowest decline, just 3.9 per cent.
According to the most comprehensive school education report based on District Information of School Education data compiled by the National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA), there has been a marginal fall in the primary school enrollment in the country from 13.7 crore in 2011-12 to 13.4 crore in 2012-13, and 4.8 per cent rise in upper primary enrollment from 6.19 crore to 6.49 crore during the same period.
"Some bigger states are unable to provide basic education and fundamental facilities to those who are studying in schools; thus leading to initial drop-outs," the report said.
The fall in primary school enrollment could be attributed to mainly the recent cleaning up drive initiated by government to check enrollment in more than one school to get freebies like bicycle, school uniform, scholarship etc. The aggressive move to increase enrollment in the school finally turned into a huge scam where around one-third of the students enrolled in the schools were identified as ghost students.
In an operation register clean up, as many as 3,36,000 ghost students were identified from a total of 10,00,000 students from nine districts. An overall figure of the whole state may cross 2 million mark.
In the enrollment of Muslim students, Bihar had a marginal decline from 14.5 per cent in 2012-13 and from 14.7 per cent in 2011-12. At the national level, it increased from 12.79 per cent in 2011-12 to 13.52 per cent in 2012-13.
Most of the teaching in Bihar at the primary level is done by para teachers, numbering about 2.5 lakh, appointed by Panchayat functionaries. Their academic credentials have been questioned. The survey indicates only 48.9 percent students of class VIII could read a sentence in English.
"Most of these teachers are involved in non-teaching jobs and totally demotivated. Their colleagues who are permanent are getting more than triple their salary" said Uma Kant Singh, senior Congress leader and spokesperson.
The average attendance of a primary school teacher has declined from 85.7 percent in 2011 to 78.1% in 2012.
