Benjamin Franklin, Civic Scientist
by Neal Lane. A scientist and a civic-minded activist, Benjamin Franklin called upon his scientific intuition and skills to address broad societal questions at the time the US was founded. He was in many ways a model of a civic scientist, a term I have often used in the past, perhaps without adequately defining it. To me, a civic scientist is one who uses his or her special scientific knowledge and skills to influence policy and inform the public. In this article, with Franklin's help, I expand that definition.

"RE: D5100 as a lightweight travel DSLR?"
I bought a D5100 before a trip to Italy and was very happy with it.It's light enough that I didn't notice the weight on a long strap over my shoulder/neck, less than 2 lbs with the 55-200mm kit lens. I wore the camera all day, easy to just grab and snap a shot instantly. An 18-200mm would make it about 2.5 lbs; I would have preferred this over swapping with the 18-55mm I brought, but it's a pricier lens.I was somewhat disappointed with the PD auto-focus. A lot of pictures are a little soft, which I didn't notice until I got home. Mostly this was using Auto-Area AF with people in the foreground; the little AF red lights flashing in the viewfinder led me to think it was choosing well. I saw no camera/lens problem after doing some tests, so I think my expectations were too high or technique poor. I took photos before the trip with most every photo well focused, but I thinkthe vacation scenes were probably much more complex. If I'd better understood the AF limits beforehand, I could have managed them--taken some extra photos, used center single-point AF more often, Live View when time permitted. I also have a lot of trouble focusing on black dogs running around; the D5100 AF is just not up to that.I expect the D7000's superior AF module would do better; you might consider that, with the trade-offs of ~+6 oz to carry, price, and articulating screen.Otherwise, image quality was great. Matrix metering almost always worked perfectly. Low-light or under-exposed images look great after Lightroom recovers the shadows. Sensor quality amazes me. VR on the lenses is like magic.Switching settings on the D5100 for different situations is rather slow with lots of button presses for ISO, AF modes, AF area, exposure delay mode, HDR, etc. I took quite a few bad shots because I didn't have time to switch it all back or forgot something. The U1/U2 modes on the D7000 sound really nice.The articulated screen was pretty useful--to get the camera above crowds, low to the ground, and into odd places where I could never position my eye. It's also handy for the occasional video.I had a Canon S90 as a pocket/backup camera but only took a handful of pictures with it. I took a lot of pictures with the D5100 that the S90 would have been too slow turning on/focusing to get.I brought a pocket-sized Sima tripod (3oz), which, surprisingly, can (just) hold the D5100 even with 55-200mm lens. This, along with the articulated screen, was useful for long-exposure night pictures from balconies. I was thinking it would be useful for portraits with a remote, but between crowds and little time in one place, there was no opportunity.The D5100 was a good choice for me. Not too expensive, light enough to wear all day, lots of great results.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This novel is set in something approximating to Victorian London. The star of this book is a young man called Dodger who works as a 'tosher': someone who scavenges in sewers for coins and other valuables. Being the hero, he rescues a girl in the first chapter then finds himself thrown into a world inhabited by 'nobs' such as Charlie Dickens, the well-known journalist...
The style is that of an adventure story for older children. Dodger finds himself regularly in danger, vanquishing villains, donning disguises. He meets famous people of the era although the author admits that he took some liberties with the time frames. As a piece of social history it works well; I now know considerably more about Victorian sewers than I ever did before.
Some of the subject matter is not suitable for children. While they might laugh at some of the 'bathroom' humour, there are unpleasant descriptions of violence and a decaying corpse. Moreover, although there's nothing explicit, there are several overt references to 'adult' topics that should give it at least a '12' rating, in my opinion.
It's not a long book and I enjoyed it on the whole. Recommended to adults and teenagers who don't mind a few liberties taken with historical fiction.
Dodger is a young man of the streets whose life is about to change. He is perfectly capable of dodging the peelers and the sharpers, but can he dodge his own fate? A love story, a life story, a moral tale told as only Terry Pratchett can.
This is the sort of book I looked for during the years I homeschooled my children. A terrific story, packed full of nuggets of information to explore. Dodger lives in London in the mid 1800s. A true Dickensian character, he runs up against the likes of Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli, Sir Robert Peel, and Sweeney Todd. Pratchett has honored Henry Mayhew, with this story, showing his inspiration for Ankh-Morpork as well.
If you're a regular reader of this blog, then you probably already know how I feel about Terry Pratchett. The man was hilarious and created such wonderful worlds in his writing. What I'm consistently struck by was how much his love for his writing shines through in his works. Dodger is a story about the a poor young man living in Victorian England written by a man who clearly loved writing about all the weirdness and darkness of Victorian England.
In a word, Dodger is simply: fun. There's mystery, intrigue, drama, and humorous callouts to notable 19th century figures, both fictional and non-fictional. I loved the tie-in to Dickens and Sweeney Todd, and I especially enjoyed learning about Dodger's world — a world that, I'm sure, was shared by many 19th century London dwellers. This book is plain entertainment, and I love Pratchett for that. The one and only complaint I have for this story is that I didn't think the ending was paced perfectly, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment very much, so it's a small negative thing.
Stephen Briggs did such a good job with narrating this book. When I'm listening to a book, I'm — sadly — probably not paying as much attention as I should be, and I sometimes get lost in terms of who says or does what. Briggs makes it incredibly easy to distinguish between the characters, especially — it seems — paying attention to the social status of each character and letting that reflect in their accent and mode of speaking. Some of the minor characters were given a lot more life than just reading the book would have given them, and I really appreciated the listening experience.
Overall, I recommend Dodger if you have any interest at all for Terry Pratchett books, or if you enjoy a good Victorian England mystery. I had a lot of fun listening to it and think it's well worth anyone's time.

I'm just not the fan of Pratchett that I want to be. I'm sure he deserves his popularity, but I find that sometimes themes are repeated almost ad nauseum (in this one, it's about the fog that is the truth) and sometimes plot progressions and characters are shared so elliptically that I'm confused as all get out.
The author's note at the end is the best part of this one. If TP always wrote so straightforwardly I'd be happier."
Dodger - Terry Pratchett -
audio performance by Stephen Briggs
5 stars
In the author's commentary, Terry Pratchett called this book historical fantasy, or ' a fantasy based on reality'. I call it delightful entertainment with a five star audio performance. The Dodger of the title is not Dickens' Artful Dodger from Oliver Twist, but they do share certain personality traits. Pratchett's Dodger combines a complete disregard of the law with an heroic sense of justice. He is a force for good. In the course of his adventures, he encounters a variety of historical characters from Sweeney Todd to Queen Victoria. His exploits are abetted and recorded by Charlie Dickens.
Dodger's 'tosher' avocation (looking for treasure in the sewers) causes this book to be somewhat reminiscent of Gaiman's Neverwhere. This story was just as much of an adventurous romp as Neverwhere. But, although Pratchett gives a good description of the ugly conditions in 19th century London, this book is not as graphically violent as Gaiman's. I also liked Dodger's friend, Solomon. Solomon is no Fagin. Pratchett went a long way to correct Dickens' unfavorable portrayal of London's Jews. I don't usually expect to learn anything new from a young adult book, let alone a fantasy. However, although I'd heard of Henry Mayhew, Disraeli, and Robert Peel, I'd never heard of Miss Angela Burdett Coutts. I'm grateful for the introduction.

Well, naturally it poured!! But, the people working on board were lovely. We ended up having a great time despite the weather :/ The wines were delicious and they often gave you as much as you liked from each bottle. There was plenty of cheese, crackers and fruit to go around and the assortment of cheeses were great! The views (despite the dark clouds and rain) were still wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone. It would've been absolutely perfect if the sun was beaming!

The event was fun, unfortunately, the weather was a little windy but the camaraderie and ambience managed to help keep us warm. We're certainly planning on taking another voyage on the Shearwater this coming summer.

Very nice, would definitely do it again. The wine was good and Felicia even gave out a little goody bag and an autographed copy of her book. Well worth the $50 per person wtih the Goldstar discount (not quite worth a $100 without).

it was cold but the sail was pleasant. i enjoyed the wine tasting but i would not pay $95 (regular price) for this. crew were nice and helpful. this boat did not have a lot of places to sit (unless you sat on the floor) so some people just stood...continued
This cruise is recommended for ages 21 and over.

We'd be much better off without Obama in office
Just imagine if President Obama had spent most of his first term in office concentrating on the economy rather than his poorly thought out and badly executed health care plan. Just imagine if he had allowed the oil pipeline to Texas to be built, and how many jobs could have been created. Just imagine if he did not push the wasteful Cash for Clunkers, which raised the cost of used cars and sold more foreign cars than American ones. Just imagine if he had allowed the other party to contribute its ideas rather than shutting it out of the legislative process. Just imagine if, rather than explain away the bad rollout of his health care plan, he had thought it through before shoving it down the throats of all Americans. And just imagine if he did not have Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state – possibly four Americans would not have been left unprotected to die in Libya. Just imagine!

Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.
This time, the boys from Georgia apply the new single's emotional lyrics of soon-to-be-lost love and a swelling harmony-rich melody to a sepia-tinged circus scene.The result is a starkly beautiful, visually engaging menagerie of animals, jugglers and acrobats interwoven with the uncertainty of young love. »Read Full Blog Post

Atlas BBQ in Grafton serves seriously good barbecue
Barbecue isn't so much a Milwaukee thing, narrowly speaking. Sure, we grill bratwurst over charcoal like nobody's business, but barbecue is altogether different, cooking beef and pork low and slow until it's infused with wood-smoke flavor. Barbecue like that isn't broadly part of the culture, part of our DNA, the way it is in Texas, say, or North Carolina.
So it's a little stunning to see the profusion of smoked-meat establishments that have popped up in the past year or so. »Read Full Article(6)
4 new barbecue restaurants in the Milwaukee area
Barbecue these days is extending far beyond what's typically considered its native habitat. A wave of barbecue restaurants has been opening from New York westward.
It could be that Southern cuisine in general is hot. Or maybe it's just that "smoked meat is awesome," said Daniel Vaughn, the barbecue editor at Texas Monthly and author of "The Prophets of Smoked Meat." »Read Full Article

NZXT Switch 810 Special Edition Video
NZXT Switch 810 Special Edition Video
Published: 22nd May 2012 | Source: NZXT |
We recently reviewed the NZXT Switch 810 HERE at OC3D and adorned it with our Gold award because we loved it. Its been a long time since that a case has delivered so much without wanting to completely empty our bank ballences with it. So when NZXT asked us recently if we would like to take a look at the Special Edition Gunmetal Grey & Matte Black versions we jumped at the chance.
So here is our video overview of the cases and our thoughts on the new colours.
Video Review
We would like to thank NZXT for the 810 we have looked at today, you can discuss your thoughts in the OC3D Forums.

Quite like the gunmetal, but I think I'd still go for the white one.

Nice review and nice to see that the manufacturers do listen to the reviewers and change thing's with the new versions, as has happened here with the plastic shelf in the 5.25" bay.
Well done.Quote
Every time I see these cases it makes me feel angry with myself for buying the Cosmos 2 rather than one of these.
It does have the room for a nice rig but because of the lack of 60mm rad support in the roof I don't like it.
That's how mine look's now after allot of messing around, it has a XSPC RS360mm rad in the roof and a XSPC RX360mm rad in the bottom but I would prefer to just have the RX in the roof.Quote

It's time for the Republican candidates to end their campaigns of hate. The bigoted rhetoric and policy positions we're hearing from these candidates go against core American values.

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- With no shortage of tall, athletic receivers on the Chicago Bears' roster, the challenge for the St. Louis Rams secondary this week will be to find ways to limit the amount of alley-oops the Bears convert.
The onus will likely fall to Rams cornerbacks Janoris Jenkins and Trumaine Johnson, both of whom are well aware of how hard it can be to handle the likes of Chicago's Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery when the ball goes up.
"You have got to finish strong at the top of the route," Johnson said. "Those guys are basketball players, when they throw the ball up there they go get it, so you have just got to be strong at the top of the route and try to get the ball out."
For Johnson, staying strong and physical during all portions of the route has been a work in progress that is starting to yield some good results.
With normal starting cornerback Cortland Finnegan battling injuries for most of the season, Johnson has been thrust into a role far more involved than his previous job as the third corner.
Johnson has handled the starting job opposite Jenkins in five of the six games since Finnegan suffered a leg injury against San Francisco in Week 4. Aside from a hiatus against Tennessee when Johnson played just 21 snaps while Finnegan and Jenkins played on the outside, he's averaged 58 snaps in the five other contests.
Along the way, Johnson has seemingly made strides in every week. For the season, he's racked up 39 tackles, two interceptions and four pass breakups.
"Really well," defensive coordinator Tim Walton said. "He's coming along really well, and that's the thing with him. You like to see the growth of the guys, and you can see each week that fundamentally he's getting better, understanding the game, being more aggressive in the man and zone coverages. I'm pleasantly surprised with his progressions."
Walton's surprise with Johnson's improvement has led to a bit of a philosophical shift in terms of defensive approach. Although the Rams still make defensive calls based on situations, they've been more aggressive overall, in no small part because the coaching staff has more faith in Johnson to play press coverage near the line of scrimmage.
Johnson said that has been an adjustment he's had to make since arriving in the NFL after playing man about half the time during his college years at Montana.
At 6-foot-2, 204 pounds, Johnson's size would seem to make him an ideal candidate to play a more aggressive, physical style. But before he could make that transition, he said he had to find his place in the defense.
"This is my second year here. I am feeling more comfortable every day, to be honest with you," Johnson said. "They stress, with Tim coming here, guys playing one on one and pressing, so that's what I'm working on."
The challenge against Chicago will likely be the most difficult yet for Johnson and Co. The combination of Marshall (6-4, 230) and Jeffery (6-3, 216) is one of the largest in the league.
Bears quarterback Josh McCown will not hesitate to throw the ball up and simply let his oversized receivers go up and get it against smaller defensive backs. Jenkins has had his ups and downs against bigger wideouts this season, but Sunday's game could come down to how well Johnson fares against receivers he's built to cover.
"Timing is a big thing, and try to get hands on them at the line the whole game," Johnson said. "We've got our hands full."

Cat whisperer Mieshelle Nagelschneider - Live Chat
–, Thursday, August, 12, 2010, (4:12pm)
1.11pm: MIESHELLE Nagelschneider's blog was a huge success and has now ended. Mieshelle is sorry she could not answer all the questions that came in in the time allotted and could not go into as much detail as she would like. Just one of these questions would normally be an hour consultation.
PLEASE NOTE: Mieshelle's advice is a guide and should not take the place of your vet's instructions.
Mieshelle Nagelschneider sure knows how to tame and talk to a pussycat, and while in Australia she's been solving people's cat conundrums this week on behalf of Whiskas.
Whether you have a cat that loves you, fights with you or spends most of its life outdoors - Mieshelle knows how to nurture and change their behaviour.
Before she jets off from her tour here, Mieshelle will chat with her fans and readers of The Daily Telegraph on Friday at noon AEST.
Send her your questions and comments below.
For more information about Mieshelle Nagelschneider, go to her website http://www.thecatbehaviorclinic.com/.

My cat hates going to the vet and it's really hard to get him in his carrier. How can I calm him down? He's a scaredy cat who gets scared of everything. Thanks
Thu 12 Aug 10 (07:23pm)
Hi, how do I stop out 5 month old male kitten(Twilight) from suckling his sister( Lily) and ocassionally humans? He does it all the time for comfort it seems. He is so very affectionate and smoochy. He also tends to pee sometimes on beds ,clothes and in any sink he can get to.
Both kittens have just been desexed but it doesnt make any difference.
He is such a lovely little cat and suits our family so much.It would be great to have these issues fixed.thanks
Thu 12 Aug 10 (08:19pm)
Darcy is 8 and we got him from the pound 2 years ago. I love this cat sooo much and I know he loves me BUT he has violent attacks when he just scratches and bites (only me). He goes to the toilet twice a day and only does number 2 every 2 to 3 days (always outside), he is a very big cat. Most days he follows me around the house, not letting me out of his sight then once every month or so, he lashes out in this frenzy and will bite and scratch me. I have never been cruel to him and can't understand this mood because he is normally devoted to me. Why is he like this?
Thu 12 Aug 10 (10:01pm)
Hi Mieshelle! I have two cats that I absolutely adore, a boy and a girl, and they're my world. I talk to them all the time, to the point that they 'talk' back. Are cats able to understand the gist of things when we humans talk to them?
Thu 12 Aug 10 (10:49pm)
We have three cats the oldest and most recent a stray we adopted. They are all desexed but the newest male cat fights and constantly bullies our youngest male. He does not worry the desexed female

We recently moved house, and our beautiful white female cat "snowbell" suddenly went missing after a few months here, she seemed settled, but just left.
We have even driven over a few times to our old place, incase she may of wandered back their, but no sign of her at all.
i have looked / rang radios / went to the pound, but now i don't feel her presence anymore.
Please please, we need closure, or if she is still alive, how can we find her, it is breaking our hearts, she was my son's cat, and we locked her in her little bed everynight, and well, we all feel lost.
Thank you for reading this.

Hi Mieshelle,
I have the most wonderful cat in the world. She is cuddly and affectionate and simply gorgeous. HOWEVER......I have 2 litter boxes for her and they are always kept in good order and scooped immediately following use. But there are times when she INSISTS upon doing her business on the floor in the general vicinity of the boxes. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE CLEAN!!
Why is she doing this and how can I stop it??
Thanks so much

My sons cat likes to lick everyone that pats her.If you pull away she grabs your hand and starts licking again. This can go for about 5 minutes.What does this mean?. She is a Persian cat and she will be two at Christmas.

Hi Mieshelle.
I have a domestic short hair male about 3 years old. He wakes up at 6:00am on the dot every morning wanting to be feed. If i ignore him he will knock things off shelves or anything else that is lying around.

My female cat is very anti-social with other cats. She becomes extremely aggressive. How do I socialise her with other cats, especially another female cat?
Fri 13 Aug 10 (10:45am)
Hi Mieshelle i have a 4 year old british short hair cat. And each time she see's another cat come close to the house she runs around and screams at the door. Im just wondering whats the best way to socialise her as we want to get another female cat.

I have a tortie who is highly strung
and very controlling of what I do…
As much as I love her sometimes I feel
like I've been cornered and can't do
my own thing, eg: I'm full of bites,
scratches, my legs are full of swipe
marks. Plus she insists on me giving her
more food, if I don't, watch out..She
is overweight, what can I do..

The most beautiful ragdoll kitten, Darcy, and his wall licking ways.
Hi Mieshelle,
Just over two weeks ago my happy, purring 5 month kitten woke up at 4am not 6am. This was highly unusual. More unusual was he did not climb into bed and demand to be let under the covers for a pre-morning snuggle, as was his ritual for three months, but instead I could hear his rough little tongue licking the wall.
This strange routine has continued now for just over two weeks, despite the vet currently trialling him on medication for obsessive compulsive disorder and some diluted orange spray on his favourite spots to deter the behaviour. His licking repertoire now extends to glass sliding doors, mirrors, plastic, dishwasher and fridge at any time. He will pause during play to lick a wall and cry if you take him away and then do it secretly. He becomes very focussed on it.
My partner and I are heartbroken. He was pure happiness and now we fear for his health and future.
He isn't miserable but since the medication, he doesn't purr like before. He doesn't run to his bowl in excitement and cry for food when I get home from work, although he still loves his food and still really enjoys a lot of playtime (hours).
I am concerned he has developed this licking behaviour because he is lonely? I work everyday so he is home alone during the day. He has many toys and plenty of food and water, a little bit of music (he likes jazz). He is much loved!
I am at a loss. What can I do to help him? How should I respond at 4am? Should I get him a companion cat? Should I change my behaviour? Should I take him off medication and test him for other possible causes?
I look forward to any hope you can provide for our beautiful Darcy so we can all get a good night's rest again soon.
Kind regards,
Fri 13 Aug 10 (11:47am)
Hi Mieshelle !
My cat Sphinx will be a year old in October.She seems like a healthy happy cat.
But everytime she does a ' number two ' she runs around like mad and afterwards as well. She does not seem to be in pain when she uses the litter either.
Why does she do this ?
Thank you !

I have a little Siamese that loves to chat. He likes talking so much that he will get up early in the morning eg 4.30 to have a chat. We do love him dearly but he is driving us mad!!! Any ideas to stop the talk. Also if we are walking around he doesn't meow but when we sit he does. I believe he has ADDD. Any thoughts??
Fri 13 Aug 10 (01:13pm)
I fear that my American Short-Haired Tabby might be manic-obsessive. She insists on my presence constantly, and can become aggressive when I need to leave her - even for a short duration.
Previously, she would spend most of her time in the garden, but throughout the past twelve months, has become much more demanding of food and proximity.
She is fourteen (human years) old.
What could her behaviour indicate?
Fri 13 Aug 10 (01:18pm)
Dear Mieshelle,
I am in desperate need of your help! I have a three yr old Burmese cat who is an indoor cat due to where we live. He has had a few owners in his short life (who didn't look after him). We have had him for a year now and just adore him. However, he meows very loud, for long periods of time. I have tried everything, talking nicely, getting upset, using food or a play or a trip outside but he doesn't stop. he will sit at the front door meowing or if im doing my hair he will sit neat me and meow and meow. We are now facing eviction from our unit because of his meowing and i just don't know what to do. I feel I have tried everything I know of. Please help me! Thank you!

Colt Ford's latest ahead of Saturday show
Colt Ford visits The Rave Saturday night in a show that has been reformatted into a Packers Playoff party. Opening act Chasin' Mason will perform during halftime of the Packers-49ers game and Ford will hit the stage 10 minutes after the conclusion of the game.
The former professional golfer turned country rapper has been riding the success of last year's chart-topping fourth studio album, "Declaration of Independence." While the roughneck album resonated with Ford's growing legion of fans, his brand of in-your-face hick hop has yet to resonate in a big way with country radio. This is actually a bit surprising, since he's long featured big country stars on each of his albums and the guest list on the new album includes Kix Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Darius Rucker, Jason Aldean and Jake Owens (who will be opening for Aldean at June 29 at Summerfest.) »Read Full Blog Post

Furniture made from the former Sydney Hih posted to Craigslist
UPDATE: The City of Milwaukee has questioned the provenance of the materials used for this furniture. The city, which was effectively the owner of the buildings for some time, did not give permission, according to Jeff Fleming, a Department of City Development spokesperson. Mike Nelson of MEwoodworks responded to the city's concerns via a Craigslist email indicating that he and his partner asked the demolition crew for the materials and were given permission. They rented a U-Haul vehicle to take the salvaged materials away.

It's official: Lebowski Fest coming to Milwaukee Aug. 16-18
It's official, dude: Lebowski Fest will roll into Milwaukee Aug. 16 through 18, including an outdoor screening of the movie that made the pop-culture phenomenon possible, "The Big Lebowski."
Last year, the first year the traveling Lebowski Fest came to town, more than 5,000 people took part. Organizers said then that Milwaukee's was the most enthusiastic reaction the festival had ever received. Presented by the Pabst Theater Organization and the East Town Association, the three-day festival celebrating the 1998 Coen brothers classic starts with a White Russian liquid lunch kickoff at noon Aug. 16 at the Pabst Theater Pub, 144 E.

A contest to make airport security screening less taxing produced the elusive positive mainstream media story on agency operations.
Along with about 9 million other Americans -- quite a large number, although down about half since 1980 -- I watch the NBC Nightly News whenever I am home at the time it is shown. I was amazed the other night to see Brian Williams, just before a commercial break, alert the audience that there would be a story coming up next about the Transportation Security Administration's contest to get ideas for reducing security lines.
Sure enough, the NBC news was actually running a favorable story about one of my favorite procurement/public management reforms, contests. Brian Williams noted that TSA was "offering rewards totaling about $15,000" for the best ideas the public submits, and actually noted on the air that the NBC website included more information about the contest. (You can watch a shortened version of the segment, and see NBC's instructions to potential entrants, here. The contest deadline, by the way, is Aug. 15.)
I was delighted, of course that national television was featuring, in a favorable context, this management innovation -- folks in government organizing or considering contests, take note! More importantly, though, I thought there were some broader lessons here for that hardest of tricks, getting favorable media attention for something a government agency is doing.
Government contests come of age (2014)
Procurement contests get their due (2014)
Think hard, invent something, win a prize (2011)
How contests can improve government performance (and procurement) (2010)
5 ways to improve procurement (2009)
Competitive procurement (2004)
We just need to take it for given that media coverage will emphasize the negative (about institutions in general, not only government), and that is what it is. It is hard to get attention for a "good news" story about agency performance, especially if the source is the agency itself -- journalists inherently distrust such self-promotional pitches.
I suspect it may be easier to get favorable stories about innovative ways government interacts with citizens or even manages itself. The kind of story I think has a chance is one like this contest story, which emphasizes a non-bureaucratic, less buttoned-down, somewhat (at least by agency standards) edgier innovation in how the government does business. Given people's stereotypes about boring government bureaucracies and pencil pushers, this kind of story has a "man bites dog" character that might appeal to some journalists -- especially those used to dealing with conventional, overly serious bureaucrat types.
Yet even here, I think feds need to accept that the reporter or producer won't just take the agency's word for its version of the story, and maybe even invite the journalist to talk with others.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
The bar is much lower for government agencies compared to Private Sector. One set of standards for Private Sector - lower standards for Government. Grow and Spend is government strategy - has been for many decades. Hold a meeting - spend more money. Propose solutions, talk innovation - do nothing but always spend more money.
Possible Maximum of $15,000 to get other people to do your work for you. Good Idea: fire all the government execs and replace their work product with those who can do the same (or better) for a promise of $15,000, i.e. more results and better cost effective product!!! Compition what a novel Idea!!!! (pun intended for those who don't get it!)
Yes, it is difficult for Government to get good stories. It is also difficult for private businesses to get good stories as well. What is interesting is the differences the two are treated. If it is Government getting bad press, you get some people calling for change in leadership, some want to eliminate that agency, and others want to throw more money at it to supposedly fix it. If it is a private sector business, how often to you see calls for people to throw more money at the business? Probably none. Usually, the business either has to fix the problem on their own, sometimes the only outside help is a loan that they have to pay back, or they go out of business. In this aspect, the Government agency comes out really well as they can also often wait for the press to get tired of the story and then keep doing business as usual without any serious repercussions. The people calling for the agency to go away still get stuck with the associated taxes, regulations, and bad services because the political will of others forces the associated problems on them - unlike in the private sector where people can take their business elsewhere. That is the main reason why the voices knocking the government can get so loud.

Simple Home Studio Suggestions
Currently I have a SB 800 and SB 910 as the light sources and I'm looking to have a very simple home studio setup to photograph portraits of my children from time to time.
What umbrellas, softboxes, stands, braces etc do you guys recommend?

I'm now into monolights, but started with SB-800s. I found CLS to generally work fine. I used umbrellas and added an old speedlight (SB-25) on an SU-4 for a background light. I used an SU-800 to trigger my SB-800s. I think the SU-800's IR control flashes tended to reduce "blinkies" by my subjects.
Doing photography of children pushed me into the monolights. I often found the expression I wanted was the one just after the flash fired. With speedlights I had to wait until the flashes recycled and missed the shot. With monolights there is almost no recycle time and I can capture the look I wanted.
#2. "RE: Simple Home Studio Suggestions" | In response to Reply # 0gbowen Nikonian since 31st Mar 2011Fri 21-Dec-12 11:02 AM
I have a similar setup, with an SB-600, 700, and 900. I use an Alzo 24x36' softbox for the 900, several types and sizes of umbrellas that I use with my 700. You can have a lot of choices there as they are really cheap. I have some you can shoot through and one with a black backing and white reflective inner surface. I have a homemade snoot which I use on my 600 as hair light.
I have basic light stands, mostly Interfits which I bought from Amazon. Plus assorted heads and clamps for holding the speedlights and umbrellas. Don't forget backgrounds. I have a cheap one which holds my one and only (so far) muslin background. I plan to upgrade in that area as soon as possible.
So all in all probably $1,000 invested over a year or two, which includes the speedlights. Not bad at all. The nice thing is you can pick up a piece here and a piece there. Plus make up you own stuff and save even more. Later on I will share a photo I took of my apartment studio, so you can get a feel for the space it takes up etc. I have a small apartment, but even so, I have room to work.

Hey, Poo;
I looked at your gallery...Cute kids!
It sounds like you have in mind a simple set-up that won't break the bank,right? Me,too...I don't like carting tons of clanking ironmongery around with me.
I have a lightstand I got from daBay, an umbrella holder, an umbrella, and one great little SB600, which I tie to my D 50 with the marvelous SC-28 cord. For more extension, I daisy chain it with my SC-17 cord. Works great!
I made a tie-dyed backgrond, and bought some material from a quillting store, which do very well when I want something more formal. No background stand yet, but gaffer tape works very well for short times. There are some inexpen$ive ideas for DIY background supports on the 'net. One of these years, I may get around to building one.
I also have 3 Sunpak manual-capable flashes, one OOOld Vivitar manual flash, miles of sync cords and a couple of little amoeba-looking flash stands, plus a half-dozen optical slave triggers left over from the days when I thought I wanted to become a Strobiste.
Simple is better, IMO, and I think I may once again work with the Strobist stuff, (actually,I just take two Aspirin, and lay down for a while in a quiet room, and it goes away!) but till then, simple does it!.
Looking forward to getting my D 90, which can act a Commander, which will eliminate the sync cords...If I can figure out how to make it work.
It is a Fine and Pleasant Madness

Personally, I like two main lights..
Look at Lastolite's 24x24 and for your catch light...look at the "Firefly" lights...look at the 16" and the new one...I think 20" plus....
Lastolite has some very nice equipment, but, $$$$, but, they are very versitile and good quality..

I'm having trouble finding them.

I agree completely on the Lastolites. They are a bit pricey but their durability is second to none. If you shoot remote at all, they'll stand up to the beating.

Well, it's that time, folks, the moment we've all been waiting for.
Tonight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez will end their storied rivalry and the winner can say without a doubt who the victor was in the three bouts.
Pacquiao vs. Marquez III has all the makings of a brilliant fight. Marquez has arguably been Pacquiao's toughest opponent throughout the years, battling him to a draw and a split-decision in fights that went the distance.
On top of that, Marquez hyped up the fight by wearing a T-shirt to the Philippines titled, "I beat Pacquiao twice," and Pacquiao has since vowed to not only win, but dominate.
What has made Marquez such a tough fighter for Pacquiao has been his masterful counter-punching ability. For a fighter like Pacquiao who storms in on the attack, a good counter punch can shift momentum.
Stay right here throughout the night for live results and post-fight reaction.
Enjoy the fight!
For the latest news and updates on Pacquiao vs. Marquez, and for all the latest news and insight on all things boxing, be sure to check out Bleacher Report's Boxing Central.
