OPM Tries to Thwart Political Appointees Trying to Burrow In to the Bureaucracy
- By Katherine McIntire Peters
- August 19, 2016
- Leave a comment
The Office of Personnel Management last week issued a memo to agency leaders aimed at preventing officials appointed by President Obama from illegally "burrowing in" to career federal positions during the transition to a new administration.
In early July, lawmakers asked OPM to provide Congress with information about any agency efforts to convert appointees to career civil servants. Trump campaign officials had earlier expressed concern about the practice, with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is leading Donald Trump's transition effort, vowing to change Civil Service laws if necessary to root out any holdovers.
It is not illegal to move someone from an appointee position into a career slot in certain circumstances, but it does require oversight and approval from OPM.
In the Aug. 11 memo to agencies, OPM Acting Director Beth Cobert spelled out the requirements, noting that the agency would continue to review any such proposals, and included "pre-appointment checklists" for both competitive service positions and non-political excepted service positions.
The concern about appointees swiping career federal jobs is an old one. During the 2000 presidential election, then-President Bill Clinton's OPM Director Janice Lachance warned agency Human Resources officers to be on the lookout for appointees...
Some Advice for Feds During the Presidential Transition: Expect Pushback
- By Charles S. Clark
- August 11, 2016
- Leave a comment
Combining common sense with experienced insight, the Senior Executives Association's Professional Development League has come out with tips for career managers to successfully navigate the presidential transition.
SEA's first-ever "Handbook on Presidential Transition for Federal Career Executives" delivers 20 pages of orientation on such issues as the role of career executives during a transition and complying with the Vacancies Act. It also outlines new coordinating procedures at the Office of Management and Budget and General Services Administration required by the 2015 Presidential Transitions Improvement Act.
Some examples of the tips managers will find:
"Don't cling to old ideas."
"Accept confusion and uncertainty as the new team gets in place and develops its agenda and try to help your career staff and the new team operate through that."
"Expect pushback until the new team develops trust in you."
The handbook also contains suggestions for how to coordinate activity with the Government Accountability Office, which is required to give briefings to new officials.
The booklet, accompanied by webinars, also offers handy deadlines. By Sept. 15, for example, acting officers must be designated for vacant non-career positions, and by Nov. 1, agency briefing materials must be finalized.

Donald Trump Has Great Faith in Federal Bureaucrats
- By Tom Shoop
- August 8, 2016
- Leave a comment
In a major economic address Monday at the Detroit Economic Club, Donald Trump offered up some boilerplate GOP criticism of his Democratic rival: "All Hillary Clinton has to offer," he said, "is more of the same: more taxes, more regulations, more bureaucrats, more restrictions on American energy and American production."
Criticism of bureaucrats is nothing new for Trump. Like most other Republican candidates for president, he has been known to dismiss career government employees as impediments to economic growth and effective government. Indeed, talking points distributed to media outlets in advance of Monday's speech said Trump would promise to "remove bureaucrats who only know how to kill jobs [and] replace them with experts who know how to create jobs."
He didn't actually do that in the speech, possibly because his staff realized it would be difficult, if not impossible, under today's civil service rules to keep such a promise. And in fact, what Trump did say in the address showed an unusual amount of faith in the bureaucracy.
Trump said he would "ask each and every federal agency to prepare a list of all of the regulations they impose on Americans which are not necessary, do not...
Improving Customer Experience, When the Taxpayer Is Your Customer
- By Katherine McIntire Peters
- August 8, 2016
- Leave a comment
The customer may not always be right, but successful businesses know that it's best to treat them as if they are (and when they're wrong, to let them down ever so gently). Friendly, efficient, competent service fosters loyalty, and in the private sector, that engenders growth and profitability. For government agencies though, where customers are taxpayers, the experience is often a lot more complicated—and more fraught.
As former OMB executive Shelley Metzenbaum noted in a recent column: "Any form of waiting [for service] is irritating, but we seem to reserve a special level of ire when waiting for government."
In recent years, agencies have rightly put a much greater focus on improving the experience of their customers. The Obama administration has made improving customer service a priority goal across all agencies:
The American people deserve a Government that is responsive to their needs. Citizens and businesses expect government services to be well-designed, efficient, and generally comparable to the services they receive from leading private sector organizations. Whether they call the IRS for an answer to a tax question or visit a Social Security Administration office to adjust their benefits, they should experience high-quality interactions with the Federal...
Two Decades of GovExec.com
- By Tom Shoop
- August 1, 2016
- Leave a comment
Twenty years ago today, I was sitting in my office eagerly — and tensely — waiting for our information technology team to flip the switch on a server and launch us into the digital age. We'd spent months building GovExec.com from scratch to reach this moment of truth.
Luckily, it went off without a hitch, and we were off and running. Soon, Tim Clark, then-editor of Government Executive, walked down the hall and casually asked, "What's new on the site today? After all, we're in the news business now, right?"
At that moment, I realized the real work — and fun — was ahead of us.
We've come a long way since that hot August day in 1996 when we launched — figuring, in case something went wrong, that few people would be paying attention in the sleepy summer months. And things did go wrong. I was prone to overwriting the HTML on the home page on occasion, and once we managed to destroy the whole site and had to rebuild it on the fly.
Michael Reeder, who led the launch effort, managed that situation with aplomb — and with the help of intern extraordinaire Brian Friel, who has gone on...

Bollywood Movies That Were Shot In Bangalore
Shooting outside India is one of the best ways to add cinematography and a good looking background. However, there are many places in India as well which are picked up by Bollywood producers and directors. No we are not talking about the patent place Mumbai.
One of the beautiful cities in India is shown in certain Bollywood movies. We are talking about the tech city, Bangalore. If you think that Bangalore is only well known for its history, culture, nature and most importantly, IT, then perish the thought. It is one of the cities where blockbuster hit films like Sholay have been shot. Bangalore which is also known as the Silicon Valley or Silicon City is well known for its natural beauty.
Bangalore is also famous in Bollywood, thanks to the poster leading ladies, Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma.
Even Bollywood movies have been shot in this beautiful destination. A Bollywood movie which is still one of the most cherished films of the industry is Sholay. The movie was shot in a village, Ramnagar which is located near Bangalore. There are some more hit films which made Bangalore all the more famous internationally.
Another classic hit film which shot superstar Aamir Khan and gorgeous Indian actress Juhi Chawla to fame overnight was also shot in Bangalore. We are talking about Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The super hit film which is still considered one of the best films of Aamir and Juhi was also shot in Bangalore.
Other movies like Ghayal, Coolie, Mard, Andha Kanoon and the recent one Gori Tere Pyaar Mein to name a few have also been shot in Bangalore. Most of the hit cult films of superstar Amitabh Bachchan have been shot in Bangalore. Interesting right? His hit films like Mard, Coolie and Andha Kanoon were shot in this destination.
Here is a look at the Bollywood movies which were shot in Bangalore.

Our apartment manager says she can't do anything because they never report us late at all (besides, we've lived in the same apartment for 6 years). Their representative repeatedly is rude, yells at me, and hangs up on me. My wife asked for their address, and she too was yelled at and hung up on.
When I call National Credit Systems and ask for a manager or supervisor, I am told that there are none there. I called and asked for the name and address of their registered agent for service of process, and one person told me they didn't have one (?!), and another person refused to tell me who it was.
I am told that if I prove to them that I don't owe them any money, they will close the account, but since I NEVER owed them any money, how do I go about that? They won't tell me that.
This company should be shut down at the very least, and more likely prosecuted for a variety of violations.

"Chilliwack, B.C." Chilliwack by nwmountaingirl
Chilliwack Travel Guide: 26 reviews and 59 photos
From Chilliwack's modest agricultural roots of yesteryear, the community has grown into the second largest municipality in the Upper Fraser Valley, covering a territory of 100 square miles.
The old part of town was nice, and it was there I found a great used book store where I actually took my time and browsed through the shelves. You can also find the place online at BookMan, but its just not the same as actually being there.
Chilliwack is a nice place surrounded by mountains and cows, but the highlight of my trip was hiking the river trail at Lake Chilliwack.
Approximately 50 minutes from Chilliwack, on Chilliwack Lake Road Chilliwack Lake is a beautiful lake set in the Cascade Mountains. The Chilliwack River, where some of the best whitewater is available, feeds into the Chilliwack Lake. White Fish, Dollies, Rainbow Trout & Cutthroat Trout make this pristine Lake their home. There is a Provincial Park with camping and a boat launch. 146 campsites, day use picnic area and playground. A number of trails are located within the vicinity of the park.
To get there take Vedder Road to Lake Chilliwack Road. Instead of going west to Cultus Lake, take a left over the bridge. Follow Lake Chilliwack Road pass the recreational site. The forest service road leading along the lake is in fairly good condition. You'll know you're there when you cannot drive any further. There are barricades set up so you can?t drive over the bridge.
Cross the bridge and walk the road till you reach head of the lake. You can detour to the right and admire the beach, or continue onward till you reach the trailhead sign to the left (the Ecological Reserve), or even go on a little further, past the pond, and also reach the beach this way. Both times I was there the pond was literally teaming with fish.
On my way there 3 men flagged me down in my truck and gave me a sappy story about how their car broke down and asked for a ride. They were dirty and had huge backpacks and walking sticks. It was obvious to me they had just illegally crossed the border, and sure enough I found a fresh campfire and wet clothes on the trail. On my way out that day I saw the men again, but this time they were being taken into custody by the Police.
Upper Chilliwack River Trail
RT 10km
The trail isn?t very well maintained, but I think that?s what I enjoyed about it so much ? it was wild, challenging, and enchanting. Where else in B.C. can you find trees that would take 9 people to hug. There were washouts, downed old-growth cedar trees, and river crossings that I had to negotiate. Add to it a little bush whacking, rain, and mud, and it made for a perfect day hike. The forest was more beautiful than any I?ve ever seen.
There are giant cedars and firs in what seems to be a forest in its ancient condition. The trail meanders through the forest for about 3 km before it reaches the U.S. Border. You will know you?ve reached the border when you see a wide groove cut into the mountain in the view to your left.

In 2001, veterinarian and seasoned cattleman Dr. Robert Bryant of Aurelia began to experiment with what would come to be known as the Hoop Beef System®.
Over the next several years, he perfected the System, finally applying for a patent in 2006. The Hoop Beef System® was introduced to the general public in June 2006. The first Open House had more than 400 cattle feeders andcattle industry representatives in attendance.
Since that date, the Hoop Beef System® has grown across the Midwest at a phenomenal rate, and as of this year, Hoop Beef System® has more than 130 systems operating in 10 states.
The origins of the Hoop Beef System go all the way back to the mid-1950s. Bryant's first cattle on feed were fed in an open lot using a scoop shovel to feed ground ear corn.
But the slatted floor systems were very hard on the cattle's feet and legs, and he began to question and explore other options.
Among the many benefits of the Hoop Beef System® buildings are sheltered and shaded cattle, center ridge vent for natural fresh air ventilation, dry bedding, "open front" feed bunk on south side of building with curtain on north side to allow for summer ventilation, and a consistent environment for cattle to thrive.
Beef producers can build their own Hoop Beef System® barns, hire their own contractor, or purchase a turn-key operation for the 320-head barns.
You can contact Hoop Beef System® at toll free 1-888-683-9076, or at the website at hoopbeef.com. FAX number is 605-741-5044.

The U.S. weather bureau and the forest service are going to work hand in hand in the future believing that mutual benefit may be obtained. The weather bureau will furnish the rangers and fire-guards with forecasts of the weather, warning them of heavy rain, winds and dry periods.
"The rangers have heretofore been working in the dark," said Professor Beveridge. "They did not know when they could slacken up on their patrol because of approaching rain, or when they would have to double it because of hard winds that make forest fires so hard to control. Hereafter, the weather forecaster will furnish the forest service with predictions so that they may be prepared for rain, wind, or a long dry period.
"For instance, this morning," he continued, "I gave Mr. Foster of the forest service a prediction of a high wind in the hills, as well as hot weather for two or three days. Consequently he will see that the fire guard is doubled and the patrol more vigilant."
The forest service will assist the agricultural bureau here by giving them statistics as to what part of the hill land surrounding Medford is suitable for agriculture.
ASHLAND, July 17 — The musical portion of the Chautauqua course drew towards a close with the appearance of the Estelle Gray company in two concerts on Wednesday. This organization consists of a violinist, a pianist and a reader, the first named being the star in the ascendant. Aside from the reading selections, all of which were unusually good, the entertainment was wholly instrumental. Some extra sweet lullabies, by way of encores, were particularly relished.
Program Largely Musical
There has been some comment, rather than criticism, directed to the circumstance that the program this season has been overwhelmingly musical at the expense of heavy artillery in perfervid oratory. Big intellectual guns come mighty high, and it is an open question whether it would have been better to exchange some of the musical notes — all of which have been enjoyed — for subcalibre oratory of the type which might provoke ennui. The program another season may run to the other extreme, thus evening out the good things measure for measure.

Cutthroatpete, My Story…..
I was always a head strong type of kid, I would let teachers know what I did and didn't like doing. I thrived on praise and being treated like an adult. I was constantly being told that I should be setting a good example to the other kids because I was bigger and more mature than most of them, bullshit really. So I would rebel and argue and I hated school with a passion. I used to sit there in class and switch off, I'd day dream about what i'd do if I wasn't there, what job i'd like to do…. Being a barber was always something that popped into my head.

Best of Orson Scott Card
- PastWatch (all-time best!)
- Ender's Game (close second)
- Zenocide
- Seventh Son
- Alvin series (Red Prophet, Alvin Prentice, Alvin Journeyman, etc.)
- Homecoming series (the final one is a bit of a let-down, though)
- Enchantment (if you've read Russian fairy tales, you'll really enjoy this unusual and absorbing modern fantasy)
Skip Speaker for the Dead and go directly to the last in the Ender's Game trilogy (and you needn't bother with the "fourth and final" book in the series, either). Alvin in the "Seventh Son" series is another good character who recurs in his entire interesting series. The Homecoming series perks along with good character development till the final book, when it seems to sputter out. Oh, well. Enjoy!

For me, the Ender series went downhill in a fairly linear progression. I have to admit that I didn't read the fourth because the end of Xenocide was a big letdown for me (I'm still indignant that Card solved the unresolvable dilemmas he had created by having our heros, in effect, wish their troubles away!). But I'm psyched to try PastWatch since you've put it ahead of the classic Ender's Game.
- Login to post comments
Hi Jim,
PastWatch was a surprisingly moving book--about an Earth scientist (in the future) who helps create the technology to correct what she sees as a monstrous "wrong" that happened centuries before--and what the consequences are for her personally and the entire world. Can't recommend this one highly enough. And you were right not to bother with the post-Xenocide novel. What else of Card's would you recommend?

I'm just finishing the last book of the Homecoming series. Somewhat uneven but full of fantasy, sci-fi, drama and social issues.
- Login to post comments
Ender's Game is definately up on top of the list for Card's best.
However, I think #1 has to go to the short stories that comprise The Worthing Saga. Sure, there's a lot of Asimov rip offs (okay, and others too) but I really think that Card is much better as a short story writer.
For example, The Homecoming started out great in the first book, but rapidly dropped off after the second book. I think I got about as far as book 4 before I gave it quits.

Have you read Ender's Shadow yet? I really enjoyed it, but then again, I made it through all 4 of the original Ender's novels and while, yes, they did go downhill by the end, it wasn't enough to make me dislike them.
- Login to post comments
Yes, read Ender's Shadow and found it good -- although knowing how it would end blunted the effect a bit. Still, it was interesting to see Ender's situation from another perspective.
- Login to post comments
Um, I disagree. I don't know where you're coming from, but here's my five in order:
1. The Worthing Chronicle
2. Ender's Game
3. Speaker for the Dead
4. Seventh Son
5. Wyrms
Skip Speaker for the Dead? Are you kidding? It's every bit as good as Ender's Game, if not better. It's quite possibly the most notable exception to the rule that a sequel is not as good as the book it follows.
In general, the later books in Card's series are not half as good as the first. Seventh Son is great, but by Heartfire, the series is meandering and boring. The first book of Homecoming is intriguing, but the rest of the series doesn't live up to it.
Pastwatch was okay, but Card has certainly written five better books. I don't want to give any spoilers here, but I found the last third of Pastwatch somewhat lacking in dramatic tension. The rest of it was certainly good, but I have a hard time finding science fiction by any author that compares to Worthing Chronicle and Ender's Game.

Has anyone read "Ender's Shadow" and the new "Shadow of the Hegemon" by Card? The "Shadow" series parallels the Ender series, showing the same events from a different character's perspective. It's an unusual technique but fairly effective. I've just started "Shadow of the Hegemon" and so far it's not as gripping as its predecessor, but 25 pages may not be enough to judge.
Still, I think Card is going the right route to write books that fill in the fictional time period between "Ender's Game" and "Speaker of the Dead," the way Asimov wrote books later to fill in the time gap between books in his Foundation and Empire series. Comments???!

I especially like the first two, but enjoyed all 4. It's been a few years since I read them. I remember being totally sucked in and staying up way too late reading though.

The Hyperion series was too intensely visual (read: vividly bloody) for my taste, although I was also sucked in by the premise and the pursuit...Any newer sci fi you want to recommend?
- Login to post comments
Do you mean newer sci-fi by Orson Scott Card? Or just newer sci-fi in general?
- Login to post comments
Newer sci-fi in general...or perhaps reissues of very old but still exciting sci-fi. I just reread Arthur C. Clarke's "Sands of Mars," the first sci-fi book I ever read (when it was fairly new), in a new trade edition that also contains "The City and the Stars," a classic I'd missed. Both were great fun and show how Clarke has influenced 20th century sci-fi thinking. Any recommendations you have for similarly thought-provoking works would be greatly appreciated!

Surf Report Info
Region: Shoal Bay to Swansea
Reporters location:
Coastalwatch surf reporters are the saltiest locals around. Part fish, part shark, part human, they live for the waves and are usually more local than the locals. They'll be up before dawn waiting for first light to reveal the days surf conditions and can sense a change of wind from a sparrows fart. Each reporter covers a region of coastline which includes many number of surf spots and beaches. Please consider there may be possible variations between this report and your local spot due to differences in orientation to the coast and any local idiosyncrasies that may also effect the swell and weather patterns.

UNC Kenan–Flagler Business School

|UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School
|University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill
|Chapel Hill, North Carolina
|Dr. Douglas Alan Shackelford
|UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School
Coordinates: 35°53′59″N 79°02′45″W / 35.8998°N 79.0457°W The Kenan–Flagler Business School is the undergraduate and graduate business school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The school offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Master of Business Administration (MBA), MBA for Executives, Master of Accounting, Ph.D., a business certificate program, as well as many executive education programs.
Established in 1919 as the Department of Commerce of UNC Chapel Hill's College of Arts, the School was renamed the Kenan–Flagler Business School in 1991 to honor two American business families and benefactors of the School: philanthropist Mary Lily Kenan Flagler and her husband, Henry Morrison Flagler. The renaming was in recognition of a generous gift from Frank Hawkins Kenan, another Kenan family member and benefactor of the School's Frank Hawkins Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise.
In 1997, the McColl Building opened at Kenan-Flagler to complete today's campus. With 191,000 square feet (17,700 m2), the McColl Building has more than tripled the space that the school occupied at Carroll Hall.
The Kenan and Flagler Families[edit]
Mary Lily's brother, William R. Kenan, Jr.,[1] discovered acetylene gas, which led to the creation of Union Carbide. Her husband, Henry Morrison Flagler, co-founded the Standard Oil Co. with John D. Rockefeller and is responsible for the development of Florida's eastern coast. Prior to his arrival in Florida, the state was virtually inaccessible except by ship. Flagler founded what eventually became known as the Flagler System Companies made up of railroad, shipping, real estate, and hotel development and utility companies. The system's flagship was the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach.
In the 1790s, Mary Lily's great-great-grandfather, James Kenan, served on UNC's first board of trustees and contributed to the construction of Old East, the oldest public university building in the United States. Mary Lily's maternal great-great-grandfather, Christopher Barbee, donated more than 200 acres (0.81 km2) of his Orange County farm to the University, then about one-fifth of the campus.
Gifts to the University by the Kenan family total some $50 million to date and include such buildings as Kenan Stadium and the Kenan Center. The William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust contributed $10 million to the Bicentennial Campaign for UNC to be used for the Kenan–Flagler Business School's new state-of-the-art building, $10 million for the Paul J. Rizzo Conference Center at Meadowmont, and $1 million for the Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology Venturing.
Kenan-Flagler offers its students five MBA degree programs.
- Full Time MBA
- OneMBA (Global) MBA for Executives
- Evening MBA for Executives
- Weekend MBA for Executives
- MBA@UNC (online program)
In 2015, Kenan-Flagler launched a program to teach students about private investments and venture capital. The Institute for Private Capital (IPC) will leverage a relationship with Burgiss to use data for academic research, helping to build out a database that will cover topics such as debt funds, venture capital funds, and other private investments.[2]
Admissions requirements for the Full-time program include personal information, resume, academic transcripts, GMAT or GRE scores, TOEFL/IELTS/PTE scores for international applicants, three required essays (there is also one optional essay), and three professional recommendation letters.
In addition, you must interview with the school (on-campus, over the phone, via webcam, or off-campus with a designated alumni (available in certain cities)) in to receive a final "admit" decision. The admissions team for the FT program does not issue invitations to interview, rather you schedule the interview yourself via their application portal.

Undergraduate Business Symposium[edit]
Established by Kenan-Flagler professor Barry Roberts in 1983, the Undergraduate Business Symposium is a series of networking and professional development experiences which serve approximately 400 students and bring about 30 companies to the UNC campus every fall.[22] Its mission statement is: "to connect students, faculty, and executives in order to foster professional development through engaging corporate culture and current business practices," according to the event's website.
Typically taking place on the 3rd weekend of September, Symposium brings corporate executives and professors who teach, using an experiential approach, about different functional areas of business, such as marketing, finance, and operations, in addition to networking.[23] Companies also send recruiters and students seek internships and full-time job offers at the Symposium events. The Undergraduate Business Symposium is operated by the Core Committee, the group of students that oversees the execution of the event each year, with the support and oversight of the Undergraduate Program's administrators.

Consortium for Graduate Study in Management The mission of The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, an alliance of leading American business schools and some of our country's top corporations, is to enhance diversity in business education and leadership by helping to reduce the serious under representation of African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Native Americans in both our member schools' enrollments and the ranks of management. The organization strives to achieve this mission by recruiting for graduate business education qualified U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents from these underrepresented groups, as well as other persons who can demonstrate a commitment to The Consortium's mission and can best assist The Consortium in pursuing this mission.

He's a good strong player who puts plenty of effort in. he never looked at home in our midfield but that goes for them all. Our midfield play 2 feet in front of our defence (who play deep). Perhaps our new midfield will actually play there, it will stop people growing vegetables in the 80 yard gap between our midfield and forwards.Natuarally I do not include Robert in this as he couldn't be arsed to track back to get out of positiojn in the first place!

Some benefits are mandated by law (such as social security, unemployment compensation, and workers compensation), others vary from firm to firm or industry to industry (such as health insurance, life insurance, medical plan, paid vacation, pension, gratuity).
Use employee benefits in a sentence
I wanted to work for that company because they had really great employee benefits and they also had a really great store.
Every trucking company I ever worked for made sure to dedicate an entire day in their orientations to employee benefits.
The employee benefits offered to the woman by the state institution played a great factor in her decision to join the team.

The Secret Lives of Dentists
- Directed by Alan Rudolph
===Story=== The passion of oral surgeons is the unlikely subject of ''The Secret Lives of Dentists'', Alan Rudolph's keenly observed comedy-drama. Campbell Scott and Hope Davis, dentists both, have three kids and a pleasant life. Pleasant, but not exciting. When Scott realizes his wife is having an affair on the side, he's torn between caution and an outrageous inner voice urging drastic action. That voice is personified by Denis Leary, who pops up with unwelcome advice, like a nattering ghost; needless to say, the role is a perfect fit for Leary's hostile persona. The blend of everyday realities--especially a hilariously miserable five-day siege with stomach flu--and Leary's surreal presence makes for a typically offbeat Rudolph offering. The smart script, after a Jane Smiley story, is by Craig Lucas. Indie stalwarts Scott and Davis both do subtle work--they're as careful and scrupulous as the dentists they portray.
