Hip-Hop Flashbacks: Flatbush Is in the House
By GUY TREBAY
Published: May 5, 2002
ONE can probably overplay the mysterious workings of that strung out spirit of the age, the zeitgeist. But occasionally a book or a movie or a song comes along whose influence springs up simultaneously in all kinds of unexpected places. ''Back in the Days'' is that book.
In January, when PowerHouse Books first issued this album of affectionately posed photographic portraits taken by Jamel Shabazz in downtown Brooklyn during the early days of the hip-hop movement, the print run was an optimistic 4,000.
The edition was gone in two months. PowerHouse, an independent New York publisher then went to press again and sold out its 5,000 copies in two weeks.
Part of the book's success owes to a strategy of placing the title in untraditional outlets like the luxury clothes souk, Fred Segal in Los Angeles; or boutiques like Turntable Lab in Brooklyn or Red 5 in San Francisco. But part of it stems from nostalgia for the pre-gangsta scene, when beats were drowsier and when an exhortation by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five to ''Throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care'' still seemed like a fresh idea.
The sartorial style of the period -- the 80's -- ran to felt Kangols, dollar-sign belt buckles, Jordache jeans and suede Pumas with their fat laces left undone. Gold was flaunted in the form of finger-thick ''dookie roll'' necklaces, door-knocker earrings, knuckle-duster rings and removable dental caps.
Almost from the first, the influence of hip-hop street style made itself known in fashion as merchandisers like Tommy Hilfiger built empires catering to the new ''urban'' market, and designers like Jean Paul Gaultier produced evening gowns based on outscale denims. Those forms of hip-hop style were eventually superseded as their sartorial moment passed -- or so one thought, until the May issue of French Vogue arrived.
That issue features a cover and inside pictorials that could have been ripped from the pages of ''Back in the Days.'' In them, the Ethiopian model Liya Kebede is pictured wearing the kind of stuff that set the style on Flatbush Avenue, circa 1981.
''It's a feeling we had, that the moment was ready for it,'' Carine Roitfeld, French Vogue's editor, said.
The just-arrived May issue of Dazed & Confused, the British style journal, also features eight pages on the book and a cover that pays frank homage to B-boy style. At the magazine's London gallery a show of Mr. Shabazz's photographs, organized by the Dazed & Confused publisher, Jefferson Hack, opened yesterday.
''The pictures are about an innocence, a period in hip-hop that was pre-gangsta, when there were no tough stances, before it all got co-opted by a more aggressive element in culture,'' said Mr. Hack, whose influential presence in indie publishing has been somewhat eclipsed by the British tabloids' obsession with his paternity of Kate Moss's unborn child.
A lot of people, he added, can ''look back and value that short time of innocence, and that personal, soulful'' variant of style.
For Mr. Shabazz, a freelance photographer who supported himself in the 1980's shooting weddings and parties, the book's success is pretty flummoxing.
''That scene, for the most part, wasn't really hip-hop at all,'' he said last week. ''A lot of those kids listened to disco and R&B.''
The idea that European trendsetters might one day emulate the self-expressions of teenagers from the Bushwick projects strikes Mr. Shabazz as so unlikely, he said, as to be surreal. ''At that time a lot of people were being held up for their clothes,'' he said. ''There were senseless killings over these materialistic items.''
Mr. Shabazz himself favored tailored suits and Italian shoes in those days. ''The only occasion when I tried to emulate that style while I was working,'' he said, ''I was robbed.''
Photos: PRE-GANGSTA POSE -- A book about the influence of hip-hop street style is finding a niche. Right, a page from French Vogue captures a style straight out of Brooklyn, circa 1981.

The Baltimore Urban Peace Program is the key organizer of a new effort to respond to violence in the Govans Community. There has been an upsurge in violence in the Govans neighborhood of Baltimore where the AFSC-MAR office is located. In early September, a young man was killed on the street in front of the AFSC office. Two bullets hit our building.
The Baltimore Urban Peace Program pulled together an organizing committee to respond to the violence and explore preventive actions. The BUPP staff has been facilitating planning meetings and leading the working group through strategic actions.
A vigil was organized in front of our office on October 4. We handed out flyers in the surrounding community and contacted surrounding organizations. Sixty-five people attended the vigil.
AFSC-BUPP organized a follow-up meeting of the organizing committee, which decided to develop a youth initiative that will create safe spaces for teens and young adults by keeping them from the streets and gang activities. The initiative was named the York Road Alternatives for Youth (YAY), which has launched "Y.A.Y! It's Friday. Y.A.Y! Its Friday.
YAY! Its Friday involves four congregations providing alternative spaces and activities to neighborhood youth each Friday evening. The four churches that BUPP has organized to be involved in the program are Govans Presbyterian, Holy Comforter Lutheran, Pleasant Hope Baptist and St Mary's Roman Catholic. We began the program on January 8th with 15 teenagers at Pleasant Hope Baptist Church. The activities include food, games, and short program pieces that increase the teen's skills in nonviolence and social change. We have two Help Increase the Peace trainers that will be leading brief HIPP exercises each evening.
The next phase is for a team of volunteers to do outreach to teens and young adults on streets and shopping areas and for church vans and buses to pick up the young people and take them to sponsoring churches. In this next phase, we also hope to expand to Saturday nights.

Kevin Trudeau is Being Set Up - What You Hear Are Lies
AUTHOR: avoiceforchange - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 06, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, June 06, 2012
People need to do their homework and find out who is behind the rumors. Who do the people actually work for that spread the lies and rumors or how much are they being paid to say what they say! A lot of this started when Mr Trudeau wrote the weight loss book. Everything written in the weight loss book is true. The diet industry is a multi billion dollar a year industry. "they" don't want you to know about it.
I suggest you get on the internet and look up Dr. Burzynski - here watch this. The same thing that happened and is happening to Dr. Burzynski is happening to Kevin Trudeau.
It is criminal. And there are more people that I can let you know about. And there was a movie published - I suggest you watch it. It is all true. http://www.thrivemovement.com/home
There is more you can do and know. Contact me and I'll turn you on to the facts that "they" really don't want you to know about because it is about power and control. Keeping you sick and needy and powerless. If you saw the movie Wall-E - its a kids movie - watch it again. It is evolution at its finest. I hope you change your tune. Medical, Insurance, Oil, Food is big business in this country and controlled by a very small handful of "elite" class that think they were born with better blood than you were. Better wake up and realize what is happening before it is too late.
Many blessings to you all.

As the title implies, this book, in 2 volumes and published in French, deals with methods of determining the visual function and intraocular pressure for the diagnosis and evaluation of glaucoma. Prepared at the request of the French Society of Ophthalmology, it forms the most complete coverage of investigations in this field up to and including 1960. Much of the material is in the nature of review but, wherever possible, the authors, A. G. Ourgaud and R. Etienne, include their own studies. In addition to descriptions of the various tests, their underlying principles are discussed, and their relative value and practicality are indicated at the end of each chapter.
Volume 1 deals with various methods of tonometry and tonography and with their applications in the diagnosis and evaluation of glaucoma. Tonometry by corneal depression and by applanation is discussed in detail. The authors stress the value of diurnal curves in

Deptford Green holds British Council International School Status and has a long standing partnership with St Kizito School in Kampala, Uganda. This has been running for over 10 years and continues to grow in strength and breadth with shared curriculum projects and cultural exchanges. We are also linked to Rainbow College in Lagos Nigeria as part of the British Council's Connecting Classrooms Programme.
Youth Exchange
The youth exchange aspect of the partnership offers students and teachers the opportunity to visit partnership schools and immerse themselves in a different culture and environment.
Our most recent visit took place in 2015 when a group of students from Rainbow College came to Deptford Green and spent a week in school, buddying up with DG students and attending lessons.
Fundraising is an ongoing feature of the school community as it enables students and teachers from all the partnership schools to take part in exchange visits.

It depends on what kind of business it is. The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") requires grocery stores and retailers that sell food products to have the advertised product in stock and available for you to buy during the entire time period of the deal unless the advertisement clearly states that supplies of the product are limited. If the grocery store doesn't have a phrase on the ad to the effect of "while supplies last", but runs out of the advertised product, the store must either be able to prove that it originally ordered enough of the advertised item to meet the anticipated demand, or:
If you do receive a rain check from your grocery store, make sure that it includes the following:
Once you have the rain check, the store has to provide you with the product within 60 days. Otherwise, it must allow you to purchase another comparable in-stock item, or work with you to establish when it will have the advertised product ready for you to buy. If the grocery store's ad didn't state that quantities of the advertised item were limited, and you've asked them to provide you with a rain check or a comparable product but they refused, the store has engaged in a deceptive or unfair practice, and has violated the Federal Trade Commission Act.
If the business you are concerned about is not a grocery store or another kind of retailer that sells food products, the business is only required to clearly state in its advertisement that the quantities of the product are limited. The business has no obligation to provide you with a rain check or with a comparable product, even if the advertisement does not state that supplies are limited. However, the lack of availability of the advertised product without a disclaimer could be violation of Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act ("FBPA"), especially if the business tries to pressure you to buy a more expensive product (or if it purposely stocked only two or three units of the merchandise advertised simply to get customers into the store to sell them something else). According to the FBPA, it is unfair or deceptive if a store advertises goods without intending to sell them or to provide reasonable amounts of the advertised products without providing notice that supplies are limited. The FTC also prohibits businesses from advertising items solely for the purpose of convincing you to buy more expensive ones.
You can report any of the violations described above to the FTC at www.ftc.gov and to the Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Unit at consumer.ga.gov or 404-651-8600.

Your mother is in a difficult situation. While the store is certainly obligated to provide consumers with the terms of its return/exchange policies before the consumer completes the purchase, your mother was given those policies and has acknowledged receiving them.
There is no universal right to cancel purchases. A three-day right to cancel exists for only a limited number of consumer transactions. These transactions are limited to credit or cash transactions of $25 or more that were initiated through face-to face contact, e.g. door-to-door sales, away from the seller's regular place of business that results in a written agreement. Georgia does not have any law that requires a business to provide a refund or accept returns; this means that a business may set its own return policy (including setting time limits on accepting returns), and may offer consumers cash, in-store credit, exchanges, or no adjustment at all. While a retailer isn't generally required to post its policies, it must honor any refund or return policies it does have. From what you've said about your mother's case, the store in question actually provided her with a written return/exchange policy, which she then signed (but didn't read). Under these circumstances, it's unlikely the store would be required to do more with regard to giving the appropriate advance notice of its return/exchange policies.
Nevertheless, your mother may still have some recourse. The papers she signed may have contained written warranties about the condition of the dog, and she should review them carefully to see what they say. However, even if there were no written warranties, there may be warranties that the law will imply in the context of a sale of goods (these warranties do apply to pets). Basically, the law implies that goods must: (i) pass without objection in the trade; and (ii) be fit for the normal and ordinary purpose for which such goods are used. It follows that a sickly dog would generally not pass "without objection", and by selling an animal that is unhealthy, the pet store could be said to have violated this implied warranty.
To find out if your mother may have some recourse, you should consult an attorney who specializes in these matters. You can also learn more about consumers' rights in purchasing pets by visiting the Federal Trade Commission's website at www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/and-they-called-it-puppy-love.
Likely not. Generally, a company must sell goods as advertised, and have a reasonable supply of those goods available, subject to certain disclosures. At the very least, a company must disclose any limitations as to the availability of its inventory (including whether it can actually be shipped to a purchaser's location). Even though the company selling the pool cover may not be out of stock, the fact that it cannot ship the product to you is a limitation that, had you known of it, you certainly wouldn't have ordered or paid for the merchandise. Therefore, this means the limitation was one the company should have disclosed before you completed your transaction. When you purchase an item over the Internet, it is assumed that the seller will ship the item to you within a specified time, or, if no time is specified, within 30 to 50 days depending on the method of payment. If shipment is delayed and the seller cannot ship to you within this time—or in your case, cannot ship to you at all—the seller must give you an option to cancel your order and receive a full refund. Because you paid by credit card, you should receive your refund within one billing cycle for the full amount paid. This means 100%, not the 95% returned to you. Had you paid by cash, check or money order, you should have received the refund within 7 business days. The company may tell you that the 5% it retained covers a restocking fee, or other shipping and handling costs, but you are likely protected. First, any such fees must be displayed clearly and conspicuously on the company's website, and in a manner that ensures a shopper will see it before the purchase is completed. If the company didn't sufficiently disclose these fees, it may be in violation of Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act. The same could be said if the company knew at the time of your order that it did not ship to your location, and didn't disclose this on its website. Even if the company could ship the item to your location, any restocking fees or shipping costs may still be unfair if there is no evidence the company actually attempted to ship the pool cover. If the seller neither placed an order with a manufacturer, nor took affirmative steps to ship the pool cover to you, then there's no reason for any costs to be charged to you at all (i.e., if the company's stock never left, then there's no reason to charge you to restock it). For more information, you may want to view our previous Consumer Ed column regarding restocking fees. If, going forward, you cannot resolve the problem directly with the company, there are several options available to you. Because you paid with a credit card, you may be able to dispute the remaining charge with your credit card company. You could also contact the Better Business Bureau to see if they can help mediate a solution between you and the company. Finally, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov, and/or with the Office of Consumer Protection by visiting www.consumer.ga.gov (or by calling 404-651-8600).

RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) � A 31-year-old Vermont man is denying a second-degree murder charge in the death of his 2-year-old stepdaughter.
Dennis Duby, of Poultney, pleaded not guilty Monday and was held on $250,000 bail stemming from the death of Dezirae Sheldon.
Dezirae died Friday at a New Hampshire hospital two days after she was taken to a Rutland emergency room.
Near the end of Monday's hearing in Vermont Superior Court in Rutland, Duby's wife � Dezirae's mother � charged the defense table screaming at Duby. Sheriff's deputies stopped her.
An autopsy determined Dezirae died of head injuries.
Duby told investigators Dezirae fell off a table, but a doctor told police it appeared "that someone held her head so tight her skull cracked."
A message left for Duby's lawyer was not immediately returned.

The Whistleblower
Protection Programs
Know Your
OSHA's whistleblower statutes protect you from retaliation. An employer cannot retaliate by taking "adverse action" against workers who report injuries, safety concerns, or other protected activity.Learn More
Since passage of the OSH Act in 1970, Congress has expanded OSHA's whistleblower authority to protect workers from retaliation under twenty-two federal laws. Complaints must be reported to OSHA within set timeframes following the retaliatory action, as prescribed by each law.Learn More
File a
File a complaint if your employer has retaliated against you for exercising your rights as an employee. In states with approved State OSHA Plans, employees may file a complaint under the OSH Act with both the State and Federal OSHA. Under the other federal laws, a complaint must be filed with Federal OSHA directly. You may file a complaint by calling 1-800-321-OSHA (6742), contacting your local OSHA office or filing online here.Learn More
About the Program
OSHA's Whistleblower Protection Program enforces the whistleblower provisions of more than twenty whistleblower statutes protecting employees who report violations of various workplace safety and health, airline, commercial motor carrier, consumer product, environmental, financial reform, food safety, health insurance reform, motor vehicle safety, nuclear, pipeline, public transportation agency, railroad, maritime, and securities laws. Rights afforded by these whistleblower protection laws include, but are not limited to, worker participation in safety and health activities, reporting a work-related injury, illness or fatality, or reporting a violation of the statutes herein.
Workplace Safety and Health
Section 11(c) of the OSH Act prohibits employers from discriminating against their employees for exercising their rights under the OSH Act. These rights include filing an OSHA complaint, participating in an inspection or talking to an inspector, seeking access to employer exposure and injury records, reporting an injury, and raising a safety or health complaint with the employer. If workers have been retaliated or discriminated against for exercising their rights, they must file a complaint with OSHA within 30 days of the alleged adverse action.
Since passage of the OSH Act in 1970, Congress has expanded OSHA's whistleblower authority to protect workers from discrimination under twenty-two federal laws. Complaints must be reported to OSHA within set timeframes following the discriminatory action, as prescribed by each law. These laws, and the number of days employees have to file a complaint, are:

The spraying targets adult mosquitoes, which can carry the West Nile virus, which has been discovered in mosquitoes in the county.
Ground spraying for adult mosquito control using Pyronyl 525 is scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 a.m. Friday in the park, which is east of Interstate 5 and south of Eight Mile Road, though it could be postponed until the same time Saturday morning.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To elucidate changes in the diffusion properties of muscle fiber between rest and active contraction. In 10 healthy adult volunteers (4 men, 6 women), we obtained diffusion tensor (DT) images (b=500 s/mm(2)) of bilateral calves using a 1.5-tesla clinical magnetic resonance (MR) imager. We first simultaneously scanned both calves at rest, then obtained scans of bilateral calves with plantar flexion of the right ankle using the same imaging parameters. We measured fractional anisotropy (FA) and lambda(1), lambda(2), and lambda(3) in the gastrocnemius medialis (GCM) and anterior tibialis (AT) muscles of both calves by seeding the region of interest at the thickest part, then calculated the right-to-left ratio of the FA and eigenvalues in each muscle and compared each ratio between rest and contraction by paired t-test. In the GCM, the FA ratio increased from 1.05 at rest to 1.17 after contraction, and contraction elevated the lambda1 and 2 ratios from 0.99 in resting muscles to 1.06 (lambda(1)) and 1.07 (lambda(2)). In contrast, the AT showed a decrease of the lambda(1) ratio from 0.99 at rest to 0.96 at elongation and of the lambda(2) ratio, from and 1.01 at rest to 0.94 at elongation. Statistically significant differences were observed in the FA (P<0.05), lambda1 and lambda2 (P<0.01) in the GCM, and the lambda1 and lambda2 (P<0.05) in the AT. The higher FA and lambda(1) and lambda(2) values of muscles at contraction than rest presumably reflect complicated changes, including microscopic morphological changes of the diffusion-restricting factor, focal temperature, and perfusion. We found that change in perfusion could affect the AT, and changes in focal perfusion and temperature could influence the GCM.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Tractography of skeletal muscle can clearly reveal the 3-dimensional course of muscle fibers, and the procedure has great potential and could open new fields for diagnostic imaging. Studying this technique for clinical application, we noticed differences in the number of visualized tracts among volunteers and among muscles in the same volunteer. To comprehend why the number of visualized tracts varied so that we could acquire consistently high quality tractography of muscle fiber, we started to examine whether differences in individual parameters affected tractography visualization. To determine whether there are gender- and age-specific differences that differentiate the muscles by gender and age in MR tractography of skeletal muscle fiber. We divided 33 healthy volunteers by gender and age among 3 groups, A (13 younger men, aged 20 to 36 years), B (11 younger women, 25 to 39 years), and C (9 older men, 50 to 69), and we obtained from each volunteer tractographs of 8 fibers, including the bilateral gastrocnemius medialis (GCM), gastrocnemius lateralis (GCL), soleus (SOL), and anterior tibialis (AT) muscles. We classified the fibers into 5 grades depending on the extent of visualized tracts and used Mann-Whitney U-test to compare scores by gender (Group A versus B) and age (Group A versus C). Muscle tracts were significantly better visualized in women than men (median total visual score, 34 versus 24, P<0.05). In particular, the SOL muscles showed better visualization in the right (4.0 in women, 1.0 in men, P<0.05) and left (3.0 in women, 1.0 in men, P<0.05). Difference by age was not significant. The GCL was the highest scored muscle in all groups. Our results suggest that group differences, especially by gender, affected visualization of tractography of muscle fiber of the calf.
Conference Paper: Fractional Anisotropy Change after Active Muscle Contraction in the Calf[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: PURPOSE To elucidate the difference of diffusion property of muscle fiber between active contraction and resting state METHOD AND MATERIALS Healthy four male and six female volunteers were recruited for this study. We obtained diffusion tensor (DT) images (b=500 s/mm²) of bilateral calves in 1.5 T clinical MRI. First, bilateral calves were scanned simultaneously at resting state. Next, we obtained images of bilateral calves with planter flexion of the right ankle inducing contraction of the dorsal side of the right calf muscles with the same imaging parameters. Pressing on a custom-made foot brake-like device placed under the right planter controlled extent of loading to the muscle. FA values were measured in the gastrocnemius medialis (GCM), gastrocnemius lateralis (GCL), soleus (SOL), and anterior tibialis (AT) muscles of bilateral calves by seeding the region of interest at the level of the maximum diameter of the calf. And we calculated the right to left ratio of FA value in each muscle, and compared each FA ratio between resting and contraction by student's t-test. RESULTS The mean FA ratio (right / left) was 1.05 in GCM, 1.05 in GCL, 1.08 in SOL, and 1.07 in AT at resting state. No statistical differences between right and left were observed in all muscles. At contraction state, the mean FA ratio was 1.17 in GCM, 1.33 in GCL, 1.32 in SOL, and 1.07 in AT. Statistical differences between FA ratios at rest and those in contraction were observed in GCM (P=0.038<0.05), GCL (0.001 <P), and SOL (0.001<P). The AT showed the same FA ratio in resting and contraction states. CONCLUSION FA values of muscles were higher at muscle contraction than in rest. We suppose this can reflect morphological changes of myofibril bundle, or changes of the interstitial space of the calf. CLINICAL RELEVANCE/APPLICATION DTI has a possibility to reflect the microscopic morphological change of muscle fiber, and may contribute the clarification of the pathophysiologic basis of neuromuscular diseases.

I went to the nurses station where sat at least ten nurses laughing and having a great time. I told them please for the love of god give my child some medicine and let us go home. We have been here since 5:30, its now 11 my children need to eat and get to bed what are we waiting on? They all look at me as if I was totally out of line and said they will be to your room in a minute, they are busy. I said no we will stand here until we get the medicine we need to go. I had a nurse who's job is to calm, care and be helpful come to me inches from my face in front of my sick child and tell me I could not stand there I said yes I can and I will we will not go sit to be forgotten for one more minute.
As I stood at least two foot from the desk she told me she would make me move as if she was threatened or in a bar with no professinalism at all.I was in no way threatning, out of line or wrong. My child was in pain, hungary and tired. We fianlly got his meds after 11pm and his discharge papers which stated and I quote "It isn't possible to name your child's rash or say for certain what is causing it. You need to go to a doctor" really?? The doctor told us it was for sure ringworm and now know who knows??? And the doctor never came back to explain?
I have never been treated with such disrespect or care in my life. If there were 8 coded people there at that time, there is still no excuse to wait from 5pm to 11pm over a rash what happened to the no wait policy? I understand busy but this is totally absurd. And then to be approached as if the nurse was in a bar to start a fight really? We left more confused and upset then when we arrived. My child who was covered from head to toe with a profound rash wasn't even treated until 11pm wow way to go. Thank god it didnt close his airways because no one would have cared.
There was nothing urgent in a desk of 10 sitting nurses. I will pursue and rally and petition until this is solved. I can honestly say if I was bleeding to death and would rather take my chances and continue to drive to another town than I would think for a minute anyone in this ER would care or be of any help in anyway. I am totally shocked at how horribly this exprience was on my children, husband and myself. I will be contacting anyone and everyone on this matter. We would have been better treated, faster and told more in a vets office than this hospital and it is not acceptable!!!

By Michelle Hough, communications officer for Caritas Internationalis
I've seen Pope Francis three times in six days, starting with the night he was elected. Every time I've had to wear the highest heels I own just to see over the heads of the massive crowds. I could also have done with a pair of binoculars.
On Sunday, I arrived at St. Peter's around 11.15am for the midday Angelus. The square was already packed and a massive crowd of hundreds, if not thousands were waiting to get in. I decided to use my press pass to go up to the roof area between St Peter's and the colonnade (Braccio Carlo Magno) as it didn't even look as though I'd be able to get into the square. On the roof there were dozens of TV and photo journalists with many more camped under temporary gazebos on buildings near-by.
A new Pope is always a massive event, but Pope Francis is really giving journalists "bang for their buck". One thing is his complete unpredictability. Popes generally stick to set texts that have been carefully written for their speeches. Pope Francis has departed from his set text on every public occasion so far – much to the delight of his audience. Continue reading

In an age of information overload, here are some news sources and information-gathering techniques tech execs turn to
As IT burrows its way deep into everyday government operations, those responsible for managing often-considerable investments face an increasingly tough job.
Just keeping abreast of trends and developments that affect the various tech tools that agencies typically use is difficult enough. But there's also a long list of other disciplines to keep on top of, from project and workforce management to budgeting and capital planning. Add to that the relentless proliferation of useful online communities and media resources, and it's a wonder that anyone can keep up with it all.
"I find myself flooded with information from many sources in ways that are morphing almost daily," Dave Fletcher, Utah's chief technology officer, wrote on his personal blog.
Like many other government technology professionals, Fletcher has found a handful of information management tools and resources that he relies on to stay ahead of the curve. The amount of time needed to get familiar with these tools, which are typically free, seems to be a worthwhile investment.
"Initiatives are constantly improving because of the deluge of good ideas that come flooding in," Fletcher wrote.
One of his go-to tools is Google Reader, which aggregates news feeds from hundreds of websites and lets him organize the feeds into topic-based groups. Using the Google Reader for iPhone app, he can also review the feeds on his smart phone and share them with colleagues.

He is also a fan of the Tabs feature in the Google Chrome Web browser, which allows him to monitor and keep single-click access to several dozen Web pages at a time.
Erhan Kartaltepe, chief architect at the Security Service Federal Credit Union, said he consults a combination of specific and more generalized online resources to stay informed. For example, he turns to PMI.org and the SANS Institute for project management and security information.
But for up-to-the-minute knowledge, Kartaltepe said he auto-filters Twitter for security- and technology-related news. That approach provides a wealth of ideas, news and intelligence, he said, although manually filtering the wheat from the chaff remains a vital practice.
In this hyper-plugged-in world of smart phones and wireless broadband access, not all executives gather information solely online.
Rick Martin, a senior adviser to the assistant administrator and CIO at the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Information, has his online reading staples, including the Wall Street Journal and Wired magazine for daily industry and technology news. But he also depends on personal interactions.
For example, he describes himself as somewhat of an auditory learner, so he finds conferences to be a good source of information. He attends the Gartner Symposium each year with a number of other senior managers, and the event becomes a "centerpiece of discussion as we consider new activities or look to adjust ongoing ones," he said.
Martin also depends on his employees to prime the idea pump around the office. "I really believe they are the engine that drives the organization," he said.
