Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of open reduction and internal fixation of nonunions of the surgical neck of the humerus.
Design: Retrospective review of patients who underwent operative treatment of a surgical neck of the humerus nonunion.
Setting: Shoulder and elbow service at two university centers.
Patients: Thirteen patients with a two-part nonunion of the surgical neck of the humerus who were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with bone graft with a minimum of 12 months' follow-up were included. Patients with avascular necrosis, posttraumatic arthritis, severe humeral head bone loss, or a nonunion of one of the two tuberosities were excluded.
Intervention: Open reduction and internal fixation with either a blade plate or a T-plate and autogenous bone graft.
Main Outcome Measures: Medical records, operative reports, physical examination, and preoperative and postoperative radiographs were reviewed. Outcome was assessed using Neer's criteria for the evaluation of total shoulder arthroplasty, visual analogue pain scale, range of motion, and ability to perform activities of daily living.
Results: The results were excellent in 11 patients, satisfactory in 1 patient, and poor in 1 patient. The 11 nonunions in patients with excellent results healed within 6 months. The patient with the poor result initially had a persistent nonunion and required revision, open reduction and internal fixation, and bone grafting. This patient healed and went on to have an excellent result at final follow-up. All fractures were healed at the time of this study. Pain scores decreased from an average of 4.2 preoperatively to 1.2 postoperatively on a 5-point pain scale. Forward elevation in the scapular plane improved from 24° preoperatively to 144° postoperatively. All patients but one were able to attain overhead elevation. All patients were able to perform activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, combing hair, and performing perineal care, at final follow-up. Overall satisfaction increased from an average of 1.0 to 9.4 on a 10-point visual analogue scale.
Conclusions: Open reduction and internal fixation with autogenous bone graft results in excellent outcomes even in patients >65 years old and patients with significant medical problems. This treatment method offers predictable fracture healing and has a low complication rate.
Established nonunions of the surgical neck following proximal humerus fractures pose a significant disability to the patient and a treatment challenge to the physician. Surgical neck nonunions often require surgical treatment, with the exception of the most medically ill or debilitated patients. 1 Reconstructive procedures are technically difficult. The results vary widely, 1–12 and reports often contain several different methods of fixation, including hemiarthroplasty, with only a few patients in each treatment group. Although this literature gives an overall picture of the results of operative treatment of proximal humerus nonunions, retrospective studies containing multiple treatment methods are confusing and may fail to identify procedures with better results and factors influencing the outcome.
Many approaches to the treatment of proximal humerus nonunions have been described, including intramedullary rods, rods with tension bands, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), prosthetic replacement, and use of intramedullary cortical bone grafts. 4–8,10–13 In most situations, prosthetic replacement is reserved for older, sicker patients, introducing a significant selection bias when included in many reports. 4,5,8,13 The use of intramedullary nails may cause mechanical impingement, necessitating a second procedure for hardware removal. 8 The effect of these factors on the outcome is difficult to determine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of osteosynthesis using either a blade plate or a T-plate with bone grafting.

Today is the day! I have been dancing for exactly 4 weeks. Now is the time I hope all the practice I have been doing is going to pay off. I hope to turn a lot of heads after tonight, surprising that I know had NO idea what to expect from me. Chelsie has worked hard trying to turn me into a dancer, and I've got to admit, it has been much harder than I ever expected it to be.
This week hasn't been a very eventful "blog" week. My partner Chelsie Hightower and I have just been running through our routines and adding the little extras to the dances......over and over and over again. I did learn my jive steps for next week, which I feel is a little premature given I need to make it past this first round. Besides all the practicing, we have had so many interviews and wardrobe fittings...it's been crazy busy! I did manage to slip away Sunday for a BBQ with my good friends from DCMA. It was nice to chill and talk with friends.
I did my camera blocking the other day and it went super well. Although I was a little nervous stepping on the stage for the first time, the minute the camera started rolling, I felt fine. The dance went well...head up, shoulders up and I didn't trip! I really hope this is a good sign of how things will go Monday night.
So here I am, ready to go. Got some nerves going on because I want everyone to see the hard work I've put into this and I hope I accomplish that. Mostly, I'm just ready to get out there and get it going. Either way it'll be great since I have family and friends out here in L.A. for the show. Time to go....vote!

Another tragic homecoming for a 5th Stryker Brigade soldier
It was national news when a Washington-based soldier just back from Afghanistan died in a shootout with police in Salt Lake City. That was in August. Around the same time another soldier from the same brigade also died violently. But his death didn't get much notice. It happened on a dark two-lane road in rural Wisconsin.
Dustin Knapp is not an obvious casualty of war. He didn't die on the battlefield. He didn't put a gun to his head after he came home. The night Dustin died he went to a family gathering and got in an argument with his uncle. His older brother Tommy describes what happened next.
"They started actually fist fighting," said Tommy Knapp, who said Dustin then got his uncle in a chokehold. "Wouldn't let go. Both of them were turning red."
Tommy got between them and broke it up. Dustin left the house on foot. He was shirtless, shoeless and angry. Tommy jumped in his car to follow his brother. Just a few feet from the driveway he came across a devastating scene. Another vehicle stopped in the road. His brother on the ground, not moving.
"I seen Dustin and I went out by him. I checked to see if he was breathing and he wasn't. And I just started freaking out," said his brother.
According to the Manitowoc County, Wisconsin Sheriff's office, Dustin Knapp, age 23, was struck and killed at about 4 a.m. by a man driving to work. The investigation concluded Knapp was walking in the middle of the two-lane road when he was hit – a point his family disputes.
Toxicology reports show Knapp had marijuana in his system and was legally drunk. He had been home from Afghanistan less than two months.
Knapp's mother says when her son got home from Afghanistan he seemed "quiet."
"I was very, very proud of my boy. I was very, very proud of him," said Mary Jaskolski. "I didn't think too much of it. I just figured he just had to deal with things that happened over there and he'd get over it."
Knapp was a Stryker vehicle driver. He had survived an IED blast, and had seen friends die. He watched other friends go to jail. It turns out Knapp was in the same platoon as the 12 Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldiers charged with a range of crimes including the murder of unarmed Afghan civilians, assault and drug use.
In fact, I obtained Army records that show the military investigated Knapp for allegedly using and distributing hashish. But he was never charged.
Originally, Dustin Knapp's death was listed as accidental. But Manitowoc County Coroner Curtis Green later changed his finding to undetermined. In part because of what Dustin Knapp wrote on his Facebook page.
"He did mention a couple of times that he would kill himself. He was a very frustrated young man," said Green.
One post in particular reads like a premonition of his death.
He writes: "Its past midnight … hoping not to get hit by a car …. I'm living with this pain not knowing why I just want to runaway please god point the way." In another post, he says: "all my knives are open and ready to go threw arteries …. And veins … whod miss me anyway."
At the time of Knapp's death his leave was almost over and he was scheduled to return to Joint Base Lewis-MCchord. So did Knapp intentionally step into the path of the oncoming vehicle? Coroner Green says no one will ever know.
"But do I believe Dustin was a casualty of war, from my perspective I do believe he is," Green said.
Knapp's family seems to agree his death and his service in Afghanistan are connected. Through her tears, Dustin's mother says she's mad at the Army. She recalls her son almost wasn't allowed to deploy to Afghanistan.
"I don't know what kind of problems but he was having problems. And they're supposed to take care of him you know. That's all I have to say about it," said Jaskolski.
But the family is also adamant Dustin did not commit suicide. On his Facebook page Dustin was excited about going home to Wisconsin. His father Tom Knapp says Dustin was looking forward to getting out of the Army. He'd bought an old Mustang to fix up. And father and son planned to open a bar together.
"Dustin was far from being suicidal. He loved his family too much," said Tom Knapp.
Whatever happened on that two-lane highway last August, Dustin Knapp is among an increasing number of soldiers who survive war, but don't survive the transition home.
A recent Army report shows soldier suicides, homicides and accidental deaths are all up. Because Dustin Knapp's death is not easily categorized, he will likely be added to the military's list of undetermined deaths, a statistic that's also on the rise.

Breakfast was coffee and a can of coconut water. Lunch was pork. Snacked on 8 squares of Lindt 85 over the day. Walked 2 miles during the day. Had daifuku mochi. Came home and ate about 1/2 lb bass and 3 lbs pumpkin. Calories 2150.

text: Officers were called Sunday night to Clement Way for a domestic dispute involving firearms and arrived to find Joy E. Norman, 46, standing outside. She reported her boyfriend, Jerry Dean McCune, 44, had stuck a .45-caliber gun to her chest and threatened to kill her if she left after she packed her belongings. Norman had visible injuries to her face and head that she said were caused when McCune punched her and hit her with a beer can. Accompanied by East Liverpool officers, township officers went to the house, where they saw McCune in the doorway and ordered him out at gunpoint. McCune said he and Norman were arguing about her "blowing money" at the casino and she began attacking him while he was lying on the couch, saying she bit his hand. Officers reported he had visible marks to his hand and forehead. McCune was charged with domestic violence and all guns were removed from the home.

Attorney Bill Nowakowski won the dubious honor of leading the Buffalo Republican Party last week, assuming the reins of the tiny political band following the retirement of veteran Chairman Dennis Ryan.
Nowakowski's "ascension" marks the first time since 1985 that a Ryan has not run the city GOP; Dennis Ryan's father, Ed, also chaired the party for many years.
Almost 20 years ago, The Buffalo News profiled Ed Ryan as the "Maytag repairman" of Buffalo politics. In an overwhelmingly Democratic city, he looked like Buffalo native Jesse White maintaining his lonely vigil next to a silent telephone.
"It might a be a job nobody wants," he said back then, "but I think we're doing some good for the city."
Things have only become worse for city Republicans. Democrats now outnumber Republicans in Buffalo 7 to 1, just like they do in other big Northeast towns. The GOP has failed to elect a mayor since Chester Kowal in 1961. Nor have voters favored any registered Republican for the Common Council since 1983, when William L. Marcy Jr. died after representing the Delaware District for many years.
Indeed, when former Council Member Kevin Helfer launched an all-out effort against Democrat Byron Brown in 2005 – and got creamed 64 to 27 percent – most political observers all but buried the notion of a competitive Republican Party in Buffalo.
"People have absolutely concluded, unfortunately, that Republicans have no chance in the City of Buffalo," Helfer said in 2009. "There is no doubt in my mind. We worked hard, had a decent message and raised money – and we got whomped."
As a result, Buffalo Republicans in 2009 failed to field a mayoral candidate for the first time since 1855, when Lewis L. Hodges represented the fledgling party. Some observers called that a "disgrace." Others simply labeled it "reality."
"We face worse numbers than Custer," Dennis Ryan said at the time.
All of this will prove especially relevant in 2013, when Buffalonians will once again elect a mayor. Brown is expected to run for a third term, and will be considered a heavy favorite with more than $1 million in his campaign account. It's possible Brown could face primary opposition from some brave Democrat, but things look gloomier than ever for a Republican.
Still, before the world sheds too many tears for the poor Buffalo GOP, consider that the party has turned its misfortune into a strategic advantage. With big countywide offices on the ballot – such as in 2013 with Republicans defending an incumbent sheriff and comptroller – the lack of candidates for city offices works to their favor.
That's when Buffalo Republicans boost their countywide colleagues by failing to field candidates for mayor or Council. That only suppresses voter turnout in heavily Democratic Buffalo.
Yes – modern political strategy in Erie County now actually emphasizes discouraging the right to vote. Understandably, local Republicans are not eager to discuss that topic.
Electing a Republican mayor in a city like Buffalo still gets kicked around every once in a while. Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg did it in New York City, say the optimists. Occasionally, it happens elsewhere.
But it's a tough sell to recruit Republican candidates to spend their summer and fall campaigning in such solid Democratic turf with virtually no hope of success.
Nowakowski, slated to be formally elected to his post on Thursday, was out of town last week and unable to discuss his future plans with the Politics Column. But he can't be brimming with optimism.
A one-time candidate for city judge in Buffalo, he recognizes the odds as much as anyone. Still, his views and how he directs the Buffalo GOP will prove to be of keen interest.
Will Nowakowski attempt to re-establish the party and make old Lewis L. Hodges proud? Or will he simply manage the party's decline?
For the moment, he might as well don Jesse White's old Maytag uniform. The phone won't be ringing off the hook.

Hey People out there I really hope some math master reads this. I am stuck on this assignment that I have to turn in in the next couple of days and I can't seem to find a way to complete it. You see, my teacher has given us this homework on linear function and equation+powerpoint, function definition and absolute values and I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I am thinking of going to some private tutor to help me solve it. If someone can lend me a hand, I will very appreciative.

Algebrator is one of the best resources that can offer a helping hand to a person like you. When I was a novice , I took support from Algebrator. Algebrator offers all the principles of Algebra 1. Rather than using the Algebrator as a line-by-line tutor to work out all your homework assignments, you can use it as a coach that can offer the basics of adding exponents, point-slope and quadratic formula. Once you assimilate the principles, you can go ahead and work out any tough problem on College Algebra in no time .

I fully agree with that. Algebrator has already helped me solving problems on linear function and equation+powerpoint in the past, and I'm sure that you would like it. I have never been to a good school, but all because of this software my math problem solving skills are even better than students studying in one of those fancy schools.

Dear Southwestern College Community,
On Friday, Feb. 5, 2016, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) released its decision for Southwestern College's application for reaffirmation of accreditation.
The Commission considered the External Evaluation Team's report, but also considered our written response to the team's report and my appearance before the Commission before acting to issue a warning and a follow-up report and visit in 18 months.
A warning is the first level of corrective action and the least severe of the ACCJC's three sanctions. It is issued when an institution has not met or partially met standards. Our accredited status continues during this 18-month period.
I do not believe this ruling accurately reflects the hard work and significant progress all of our faculty, students, staff and administrators have made since our last accreditation visit. While I am disappointed, I am confident we will address each of the recommendations with the same level of professionalism and excellence we have for the past six years. In fact, we have already effectively addressed several of the recommendations.
I want to express my sincerest gratitude to all the faculty, staff and administrators who prepared our Self Evaluation Report. We are a much stronger institution than six years ago, and I know we have the dedicated personnel to accomplish the purpose of the visit—continuous improvement.
Melinda Nish, Ed.D.

SUNY Adirondack to go tobacco-free by the start of Fall 2014 classes
(QUEENSBURY, NY – February 6, 2014) – SUNY Adirondack will launch a series of programs and events this spring to meet a State University of New York initiative to transform all of its campuses into tobacco-free institutions.
The first of the events – tobacco cessation sessions on Wednesday, February 19, and Thursday, February 20 – will be open to all students, faculty and staff members of the college, as well as members of the SUNY Adirondack community.
"We are supporting this initiative out of respect for the health of others and our campus environment," said SUNY Adirondack president Dr. Kristine D. Duffy. "The use of tobacco products has consistently been proven to be a severe health risk, and as educators we will focus on supporting those who wish to quit.
"It is our hope that voluntary compliance will be the overwhelming response to implementation and we believe this policy will create a clean, healthy, and safe environment for our students and visitors," she said.
At its December 19, 2013 meeting, the college's Board of Trustees reaffirmed its June 27, 2013 resolution to have the campus become tobacco free by the start of classes in the Fall of 2014. The trustees followed the lead of SUNY Chancellor Dr. Nancy Zimpher, who proposed that SUNY become the largest higher education system to become entirely tobacco free.
The resolution set down a plan of action including offering educational and support programs and events to assist members of the college community quit their dependence on tobacco products.
The college's Wellness Committee, the Office of Student Affairs, the Office of Student Activities, the SUNY Adirondack Student Senate, the SUNY Adirondack Fitness Center and the SUNY Adirondack Counseling Office and will be active in organizing and promoting events for the effort this semester.
The February 19 and February 20 events are designed as two 90-minute programs. The February 19 session will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. in Miller Auditorium, Dearlove Hall. The February 20 session will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Miller Auditorium, Dearlove Hall.
Each session will be introduced by President Duffy. A speaker from New York Quits, a tobacco control program under the auspices of the NYS Department of Health, will offer remarks on tobacco use and how to quit. A panel discussion will follow featuring former and current smokers from the campus community discussing their relationship with tobacco, and education literature will be available. A menu of services will also be available for those ready to quit.
In addition to the smoking cessation sessions, other programs will include engaging the services of a hypnotist and acupuncturist; use of the college's fitness center in the new student housing facility to get tobacco users moving; encouraging tobacco users to follow nutritional programs with suggested healthy food choices available through the college's Food Service operation; the use of a coffee support group; and additional events to encourage tobacco users to quit.
For more information, please call the Office of Student Affairs at 518-743-2251.
For more information on kicking the tobacco habit, call the New York State Smokers' Quitline at 1-866-NYQUITS (1-866-697-8487) or visit the NY Quits web site at www.nysmokefree.com.

When the Dolphins came to town to play the Texans in October, I ran into a couple of Miami fans tailgating in the Blue Lot. They had a card table, a super small Lil' Smokey grill and a six-pack of beer.
These guys travel to three or four Fins road games a year. They told me that Texans fans know how to do it right in the parking lots and that they haven't seen tailgating become such a sport at their other travel destinations.
I haven't traveled to too many NFL hot spots, but I've learned from my Sunday strolls before home game kickoffs how much effort and commitment goes into tailgating before a Texans game. And I certainly appreciate the fair weather we usually have on game days. (Please exclude the MNF game. Too cold for me!)
Here are just a few things I've witnessed – live lobsters available for pregame dinner in the Platinum Lot, a luau with a roasted pig in the Yellow Lot, keg stands in the Orange Lot, former Oilers players in the Green Lot, Texans Freaks in the Purple Lot and live bands in the Blue Lot. I can't leave out one of my favorites – the Preacher man and his followers enjoying "Shotgun Thirty" in the Yellow Lot.
Maybe those Dolphins fans know what they are talking about. What have you seen? Do you think Texans games are the best place to tailgate?

According to rumors, Japanese publisher Namco Bandai plans to unveil some Wii U games at the annual Tokyo Game Show later this month. Officially speaking, Namco Bandai hasn't listed any Wii U titles to be showcased at TGS, but some clever folks over at AdrianSang managed to find some solid evidence of Namco Bandai Wii U games. Their TGS portal apparently includes Wii U logos and artwork. Namco will be showcasing a ton of games at the event, and now there's a possibility of some titles for Nintendo's upcoming console as well. Tokyo Game Show is one of the last big gaming events to take place before the Wii U's rumored launch in November. If any big games are to be revealed, TGS would be the perfect place to do so.
Namco Bandai has two games in the pipeline for the Wii U: The recently released Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Tank Tank Tank. Neither of those games appear on Namco's TGS lineup, so any potential Wii U games will likely be all-new titles.
Nintendo won't be present at TGS this year, but third party publishers, especially those out of Japan, will be showcasing Wii U games at the event. SEGA will showcase Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and Square Enix has promised to reveal new details about Dragon Quest X for the Wii U.

Phil Everly, who with his brother Don formed an influential harmony duo that touched the hearts and sparked the imaginations of many has died, at the age of 74.
Everly died on Friday of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at a Burbank hospital, according to his family.
Phil and Don Everly helped draw the blueprint of rock 'n' roll in the late 1950s and 1960s with a high harmony that captured the yearning and angst of a nation of teenage baby boomers looking for a way to express themselves beyond the simple platitudes of the pop music of the day.
The Beatles, early in their career, once referred to themselves as "the English Everly Brothers.''
And Bob Dylan once said, "We owe these guys everything. They started it all.''
The Everlys' hit records included the then-titilating "Wake Up Little Susie'' and the universally identifiable "Bye Bye Love.''

FOR A long time yesterday, it looked as if Rudolph McGriff, who had beaten five murder arrests, might beat a sixth.
Two witnesses recanted during McGriff's preliminary hearing, with one claiming he saw nothing because he's "half-blind."
But then an 11-year-old boy took the stand.
Myzeh Jessie-Ross calmly testified about the frequent fights that his mother, Malisha "Lai Lai" Jessie, 29, had endured with McGriff, her longtime on-and-off beau.
Just hours before she was gunned down on McGriff's Tioga block last April 7, Jessie-Ross said, the broken-up pair got into a shouting match about McGriff's new girlfriend.

The Amarillo Gorillas finished the 2003-04 season within one game of the Central Hockey League Finals.
On Wednesday, Gorillas Head Coach/Director of Hockey Operations and Assistant General Manager Joe Ferras announced the re-signing of forward Derek Hahn - one of the keys to last season's success. Hahn led the Gorillas with 70 points, scoring 30 goals and assisting on 40 others.
"With Derek, we know we're going to get a guy who competes every night," Ferras said. "He plays as well on the road as he does at home."
Ferras said the signing of Hahn is just the first step toward a successful offseason. He said last season's success has resulted in teams from other professional leagues trying to pluck players from the Gorillas roster.
"We definitely want to get back a core of six or seven guys," he said. "A big piece of the puzzle is getting Derek back."
Hahn said success was his motivation to re-sign.
"I enjoy winning, and I enjoy being around guys who enjoy winning," Hahn said. "Joe has brought in guys like that over the last two years, and I think he will continue to do that."

—To examine the sex and gender distribution of illustrations in two atlases, five anatomy texts, and five physical diagnosis texts.
—Of 4060 illustrations that were identifiable by sex and gender in 12 commonly used anatomy and physical diagnosis textbooks, 3827 were categorized by two reviewers as female, male, or neutral.
—Females were represented, on average, in 21.2% of the anatomy text illustrations; males were represented, on average, in 44.3%; 34.4% of the illustrations were neutral. Of the nonreproductive anatomy illustrations, a mean of 11.1% (range, 4.6% to 23.8%) depicted women and 43.1% (range, 35.4% to 56.2%) depicted men. Of nonreproductive anatomy illustrations, a mean of 45.8% (range, 27.2% to 59.9%) were neutral. Overall, the physical diagnosis text illustrations demonstrated a more equal sex and gender distribution (21.5% female and 24.8% male). However, in the reproductive chapters of the physical diagnosis texts, females were depicted in a mean of 71.1% (range, 63.2% to 79.0%) of the illustrations, while in the nonreproductive chapters, females were depicted in 8.8% of total illustrations.
—In anatomy and physical diagnosis texts, women are underrepresented in illustrations of nonreproductive anatomy. The finding that males are depicted in a majority of nonreproductive anatomy illustrations may perpetuate the image of the male body as the normal or standard model for medical education.(JAMA. 1994;272:1267-1270)

The Environmental Protection Agency has adopted an interim "Mobile First" policy, effective immediately, according to EPA Chief Information Officer Malcolm Jackson.
Jackson, speaking at the Social Business for Government Summit in Washington, D.C. on March 20, said he had signed the interim policy order that same day.
Under the policy, the EPA, when developing new applications, will make mobile websites and Web-enabled mobile applications a priority in communicating with the public and EPA employees, in comparison to other types of applications, Jackson said.
"From this point on, for citizens and employees, we will do an application for mobile first, and then for personal computers and laptops," Jackson said. "We are encouraging development of apps for the EPA that are mobile first."
The reason for the new policy is to reflect the rising popularity of mobile devices and the trend for some young people to own mobile phones without owning computers, Jackson said.
"I'll tell you why we are doing it—a lot of people cannot afford personal computers or Internet service," Jackson said. "But they can afford smart phones, and they do not leave home without them."
Jackson said the EPA's approach is platform agnostic and will focus on Web-enabled mobile apps and on websites designed for mobile devices of all types.
The EPA expects to roll out tablet computers for its field employees later this year, Jackson added.
"EPA has a long history of early adoption," Jackson said, pointing to the agency's use of Facebook, Twitter, wikis, blogs, Ideascale dialogs and its recent Apps for the Environment contest, among other social tools.
At the same time, he has had to push EPA employees to change their work styles to become more collaborative and social, while also preparing new ways to oversee and monitor their work. To help employees manage the changes, "you have to identify the benefits for them," Jackson said.
EPA currently is using social media to reach out to more stakeholders and expand collaboration with them, improve decision-making at the agency and provide the public with better information, Jackson said.
Online dialogs with thousands of people with a stake in environmental concerns and with different skills and views is "a tremendous asset for us," Jackson said. The two-way communications occur on EPA blogs, wikis and social networks and "will lead to better understanding of environmental problems and conditions," he added.
The social government summit was presented by Federal Computer Week and sponsored by IBM Corp.

In the latest issue: Looking back on three decades of big stories in federal IT.
Get the full issue
Since 1996, FCW has covered it all -- the major contracts, the disruptive technologies, the picayune scandals and the many, many people who make federal IT function. Here's a look back at six of the most significant stories.
A short-term funding bill is expected by Sept. 30 to keep the federal government operating through early December, but after that the options get more complicated.
The DOD is opening a new Defense Innovation Unit Experimental office in Austin, Texas, while Congress debates legislation that could defund DIUx.
A House panel approved a new IT modernization bill that appears poised to pass, but key funding questions are left for appropriators.
The Army's cyber director said cyber, electronic warfare and information operations must be integrated into warfighters' doctrine and training.
FCW honors 30 early-career leaders in federal IT.
I agree with Mike's comments. Employees are still having to use wildly out of date OS and browsers. From my desktop I can't optimally access some websites I need to do my job because of this fact. If we will devote time and energy to mobile apps perhaps we should update the workforce with the proper tools of this century.
If Administrator Jackson counts still using Windows XP (11 year old OS) and a locked down version of Internet Explorer 7 (6 year old browser) - the current standard install on EPA machines - as an example of as "early adopting", then I'm frightened at what this means for EPA products. I see some awesome Blackberry apps in their future.....sigh.

The 29 miners killed in the April 5 methane explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine have been laid to rest, but signs of a community in deep mourning are still visible in the coal towns that line West Virginia's Coal River Valley. Hand-scrawled messages in the windows of homes and businesses urge passers-by to "pray for our miners and their families," as do billboards in front of churches with names like Amazing Grace and Healing Stream.
Candles have been lit in the darkness and wreaths have been laid at the Coal Miners Memorial Statue at the State Capitol. President Obama delivered a eulogy at a memorial service in Beckley on April 25.
And now it is time to ask why this disaster occurred. The state and federal government have named teams to probe the cause of the blast and determine if laws were violated. Governor Joe Manchin has asked national safety expert Davitt McAteer to conduct an independent investigation and make recommendations as to what can be done to prevent future tragedies. All these efforts will take months and won't bring back lost loved ones. But at best, these probes will provide answers about April 5 and help bring a nationwide renewed commitment to safe mines. There are more refections avialable on our Goatrope blog.

Newbie campers – UK's best campsites for first timers
Camping is a popular holiday activity for people all over the UK, with more young families joining in every year as they realise what a great holiday this can be for the kids. If you're a first time camper, then it's probably best to book campsites that have great facilities, especially if you're not used to roughing it a bit. If you're camping with a baby or toddlers, modern facilities will probably make the experience a lot easier and more enjoyable. We take a look here at some of the best campsites in the UK that would be most appropriate for newbies.
Clippersby Hall – Norfolk Broads
Clippersby Hall is a great place for first time campers, with award winning facilities, including centrally heated toilet/shower blocks with unlimited free hot water and EHU. There's a family bathroom for parents with young kids and a coffee shop serving a range of delicious fresh baked snacks and offering a pizza delivery service.
There are eight different camping areas, some secluded in woodland and some with wide open space so there's something here to suit everyone.
Clippersby Hall offers a wide range of activities: archery, cycling, boating, fishing and bird watching. There is a swimming pool on site, mini golf course and tennis courts and, for the kids, some great adventure play areas with monkey bars, cargo nets and zip wires. The Muskett Arms Pub and Restaurant promises great food in a family friendly atmosphere.
If you're trying out camping for the first time and really don't fancy the idea of sleeping under canvas, Clippersby Hall boasts a variety of self-catering accommodation, including holiday chalets, cottages, apartments and woodland bungalows. All are equipped with a great range of appliances and flat screen TVs and DVD players.
If you're not sure that camping is going to be for you, then this is a great place to suck it and see – with all the amenities of home, you're sure to enjoy your holiday.
Fforestcamp – Cardigan, West Wales
Billed by The Times as the 'coolest camping in Britain', Fforestcamp is a luxury campsite where breakfast is provided as part of the deal! The actual camping is done in one of the space age domes which sport wooden floors, real beds, fully equipped camp kitchens, wood burning stoves, solar lights and bay windows. There are also four crog lofts (or crofter's cottages) for hire – these are situated within their own small compound and are particularly appropriate for group hire. Each has its own fully equipped kitchen underneath the wide porch, proper beds (with duvets, no less) and stone and natural wood wet rooms.
There are also some fforest campshacks – two pods with custom built wooden beds which dock into a wooden kitchen/dining shack with a wood burning stove. If you need to extend this little compound, then extra tents and equipment can be supplied to dock on. If you really don't mind roughing it, the entry level nomad, a traditional Dutch style tunnel tent with two internal sleeping pods might suit you.
Whichever option you decide on, most of the equipment you'll need is provided – if you're booking the pods or campshacks you'll need to bring towels and sleeping bags. All kitchen equipment is provided, so no need to worry about getting stuck without a tin opener or forgetting the camping kettle.
There are plenty of activities on offer both on and off site, including half day and full day packages. The surrounding countryside is the beautiful Teifi Gorge and the Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve. This is a great location for visiting the nearby Cardigan coastline or perhaps you'd fancy trying your hand at woodland crafts such as coppicing and hedge laying. Bushcraft, tree climbing, abseiling and archery are just some of the adventurous activities you'll be able to try your hand at. When you get to the end of a long day's hard play, you can go back and relax in the cedar barrel sauna in the woods.
Highside Farm – Middleton in Teesdale, Northern Pennines
Highside Farm is a working smallholding with 'quiet camping facilities' for tents and caravans. Amenities include showers, toilets, washing up facilities and EHU. This is a small campsite which the owners don't allow to become overcrowded, meaning that campers can enjoy the perfect peace of the fabulous surrounding countryside.
Glorious views across Teesdale and Lunedale in this area of outstanding beauty are complemented by fishing and canoeing on the River Tees. Just an hour's drive from the Lake District, this little campsite is one of the UK's best kept secrets.
The Farm sells eggs, lamb, pork, beef and mutton (all traditionally reared and locally butchered) exclusively to campers and produces a range of woollen yarns. If you book in advance, the Farm will also provide campers with a cooked breakfast. The friendly owners are happy to offer advice to newbie campers and it's a great place to try out sleeping under canvas or in a caravan.
South Breazle Holidays – Okehampton, Devon
South Breazle is a well-appointed campsite with spacious pitches in a large field surrounded by trees. These super size pitches all have EHU, water and grey drainage and free WiFi. The pitches are circled around a large grass play area – this campsite certainly does believe in giving people enough space. Kids and adults alike will be entranced by the fun fountain, 25 water jets programmed to randomly squirt 6ft jets of water into the air while you scramble around avoiding the jets.
The toilet blocks are equipped with motion sensor lighting inside and out. There is a range of power shower rooms, all with non slip flooring, including a family room with baby changing facilities. One of the shower rooms has ramp access and is fitted with all the standard hand rails and a shower seat. All showers are fixed temperature and all the taps are push taps for ease of use. The toilets have electric hand dryers and hairdryer/shaver points.
There is a washing machine and a dryer available in the laundry block. Both machines are token operated. The washing up area has a small freezer and an internal phone to contact Reception if help is required with anything. All of the reviews of this campsite stress how clean and pleasant all the facilities are.
With plenty to do in the surrounding area, including walking (dogs are welcome at South Breazle) and archery, a visit to Okehampton Castle ruin is a must, especially when the bluebells are blooming. If you're a wine connoisseur, then why not visit nearby Eastcott Vineyard to buy a few bottles of plonk?
Woodland Tipi and Yurts – Much Dewford, Hereford
This certainly is a campsite with a difference – a car free zone billed as a peaceful family and couples site. The glampsite boasts 4 traditional Sioux Native American tipis that will sleep up to four adults or a family of five in a selection king sized beds and rollup mattresses. Each is equipped with a small gas stove and kettle, with firewood, sheepskin rugs and tables provided for a cosy and comfortable stay. There are four traditional yurts which sleep up to six, depending on size. Each has a wood burning stove, super king size bed and roll up mattresses and outside you'll have a fire pit, hammock and picnic table.
Woodland has two clay earth ovens in rustic huts and two fully equipped kitchens. Hot showers make for a comfortable stay and if you're too tired to cook after a hard day's camping, you can order in food from a local professional chef to be delivered at a reasonable cost. Wheelbarrows are provided to transport your gear to the tipis and yurts and there are washing machine and drying facilities for those with small children. Travel cots and high chairs are also available on request.
The surrounding woodland is safe for kids, with woodland tracks to explore, swings, trees to climb, squirrels, foxes, rabbits and birds. If you can keep the kids up late, they'll hear the owls hooting nearby and, you never know, they may even be lucky enough to see badgers in the wild.
Written by Dave Johnson, the co-founder of Family Camping Reviews, the independent online guide to holiday parks in Europe. The site is run by Dave and his wife Catherine, avid campers with a passion for the countryside.

Saturday Seven.
Welcome back to my Saturday Seven series. A little sweet-tooth weekend tribute to a few favorite recipes.
I've been baking up a storm in my kitchen the past two weeks, making sure I have enough recipes and material for you during the few weeks before the wedding and when I'll be on my honeymoon (Hawaii!). Let's just say I've gone through about 10 cans of pumpkin, a dozen apples, 5 bags of chocolate chips, and more pounds of butter than I can count. Grocery store workers must think I'm a loony when I check out with 12 lbs of butter.
But before I get to all of those new recipes, let's take a walk down memory lane. Some of the following recipes are ones I make on the regular, others are recipes I'm demanded to make on the regular, and the last recipe today comes with the label "if you haven't made it yet, you haven't lived."
By the way, I just had these made for our wedding day. Ha! I'm obsessed. You can custom design them, add clipart, different font, different colors, etc. The world is your… koozie.
Alright, here are 7 oldie but goodie recipes you've gotta try soon:
Soft & Thick Snickerdoodles. My basic recipe for the classic snickerdoodle cookie. These are ready in only 25 minutes. Oh, and try stuffing them with Snickers bars. Yes.
Mom's Seasoned Pretzels – one of my most requested recipes. If I'm going to a party, these have to come along. In fact, I think my friends are more excited to see these seasoned pretzels than me.
Lemon Sweet Rolls are all kinds of amazing on Saturday mornings. In the summer. Preferably at the beach with coffee in hand. But standing at the counter eating straight from the pan works too. We don't pass judgement here at SBA.
Chocolate Covered Pretzels – in all shapes and sizes. There is never a wrong time for these salty/sweet treats. My bridesmaids know how much I love them too – they were a dessert at my bridal shower.
Detox Smoothie. You might want it after all the chocolate covered pretzels you're going to eat. Bonus: it doesn't taste like vegetables.
Reese's Peanut Butter White Chocolate Bark. It has been WAY to long since I've made this and I'm changing that this weekend. It takes zero/zip/zilch effort to make, too.
Glazed Chocolate Donut Holes. Stop reading. Start baking these.
Q: Have you tried any of these recipes? Thoughts?
Q: Any fun plans this weekend?

I'm totally making the Soft & Thick Snickdoodles with Snickers – genius idea, Sally! As usual. Your recipes never disappoint.
Plans this weekend = finishing up a great vacation I'm currently on 🙂
Enjoy your weekend as well!
These are the best Snickerdoodles ever. I tried your recipe about 8 or 9 months ago after trying many, many over the years. I am a long-time baker and friends and family love them. BTW, I omit the cinnamon to get a plain sugar cookie and those are great too.
Enjoy the final weeks heading to your wedding and have a wonderful day! Take lots of pictures.
I have made the smoothie, and the pretzels. (love those things, so did my Mom).
The next one I am dying to try is the PB white chocolate bark. I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER! I always know what website to check out for PB recipes. ;))
I love the cup holders, and am so excited for you and your upcoming wedding! I hope all is going smoothly! 😉
Yesterday I made the Peanut Butter Butterfinger Oatmeal Cookies — ANOTHER W O W recipe from you! The recipe said it made 24 cookies, but there were actually over 4 dozen, which was a good thing! Did I make the cookies too small? AND the recipe called for milk chocolate chips but I only had semi-sweet. What's your opinion on substituting one kind of chip for another in recipes?
I only subscribed to your blog a couple of weeks ago but I wanted you to know I made the Puppy Chow (w/ Nutella) and took it to a party of seniors. Everyone loved it and I was asked to share the recipe which I did, and a gave you credit. so one recipe down and next time I think I will make your Seasoned Pretzels. Happy Wedding Day
I've already tried the Sweet lemon rolls and the Glazed chocolate donut munchkins…I always make recipes low fat and egg-free (I use flax seed, I don't like eggs) and recipes come out great, so I can't imagine how good they would be using all the butter…!!!! My next bake will be the Very Vanilla Cupcakes, I'm gonna stuff them with a little white chocolate square and instead of making buttercream I'll give them a sweet condensed milk glaze with some vanilla seeds! Congrats for your wedding, wish you, and Kevin and Jude lots of luck, love, and "sprinkles" of happiness. Have you decided the flavor of your wedding cake??? Peanut butter??? Please let us know and post pictures of everything!
Big hug,
Angie (Denia, Spain)
You need to get some sort of a baker's deal on butter. I took a cake decorating class at a bakery last month and the owner keeps bazillions of pounds of butter on racks! That should be your house. Kevin would be thrilled, right?
Love the pics! And enjoy this time. Great career, wedding on the horizon. What fun!
I am a new follower, and I must say first Congratulations on soon to be the most fantastic day of your life.
I came across your blog or website rather, by accident and I am so happy I did. Your recipes are wonderful. Im a huge hit at the office. And my kids say im the best mom ever. Love, love, love your website. Keep up the great work. Happy baking ♡♡♡♡
I went to the store ASAP this morning to buy stuff for the pretzels and the doughnut holes(side note…my two year old managed to lock himself in the car while I was getting the supplies and him in the car) needless to say we made the pretzels already and they are about half gone. My little guy he had lots of fun smelling all the spices and shaking up the bag . The doughnuts will be made tonight as a thank you for my husband who came to our rescue in the grocery store parking lot. Thanks for sharing your love for baking and I look forward to trying many many more of your recipes and I'm excited I found a new blog to follow!
I have made so many of your recipes and my family just loves almost everything! My cookies ALWAYS turn out so pretty now! Nice and poofy and they taste amazing. I have requests for (your) recipes all the time and always refer them to your blog. And to be fair…. I always give you credit, too!! Not sure which recipe I'm going to make first off this list 🙂 Thanks for all the tips and ideas – I pass them along.
Hi Sally,
Of the recipes listed here i've only tried the snickerdoodles so far & they were fantastic!! I just LOVE cinnamon!! I'm dying to try the donut holes! And those seasoned pretzels too (not to mention, the recent snickerdoodle blondies)….. Also, i made the glazed lemon loaf from your book yesterday & it was sooooooo goooood!!! Very moist & with just the right amount of lemon! So much baking to do, so little time……..
Hi Sally,
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your website. I originally came across it when looking for a cookie recipe and it's been my go-to dessert site since then. The website itself and your food presentation makes me hungry with all the bright colours (I too have a love of sprinkles), and the recipes are explained so carefully by discussing technique which I find really helpful. It sounds like you work hard while loving what you do – you're living the dream! Thank you for sharing your love for baking.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Michigan tart cherry growers will be able to buy federal crop insurance for the first time ever, U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow announced Thursday, Aug. 22.
Stabenow, a Lansing Democrat who chairs the Senate's Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, said the insurance program approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is similar to crop insurance program other farmers can obtain.
While tart cherry growers are in good shape this year, 97 percent of their crops were destroyed by frost last year.
RELATED: Southwest Michigan blueberry and cherry harvest is producing high volumes of good quality fruit
The coverage is scheduled to be available for the 2014 crop year in the following counties: Berrien, Van Buren, Allegan, Kent, Newaygo, Muskegon, Oceana, Mason, Manistee, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Antrim, Charlevoix.
"The new insurance coverage will protect growers against such losses and continue strengthening Michigan agriculture, which supports nearly one out of four jobs in Michigan and is helping to drive the state's economic recovery," Stabenow said in a news release.
"No farmer should be wiped out because of a few bad days of weather, and this new coverage will help Michigan's growers manage their losses without losing the farm," Stabenow said.
Stabenow, who has been trying to get a new farm bill passed through Congress, said the new bill makes sure further disaster assistance is available this year for Michigan fruit growers who did not have adequate access to crop insurance.
"This is another reason why it's critical that Congress finally complete its work on a farm bill, which would provide short-term disaster relief for those that were devastated last year and ensure that more Michigan growers can protect themselves from risks like these in the future," she said.
"There's no question Michigan cherry growers have seen their share of losses over the last couple of years, with many losing over 90 percent of their crop," said Phil Korson, President of the Cherry Marketing Institute.
"Better crop insurance options are needed to help families and farming communities get through tough times and better protect our growers so ad-hoc disaster relief isn't needed in future years," Korson said..
"Sen. Stabenow has led the charge in assuring our growers have access to insurance options like other crops do and we appreciate her tenacious leadership on this issue."
Last August, Stabenow announced similar coverage for Michigan's sweet cherry growers who also suffered losses from the spring freezes and frosts.

HARTFORD, Conn — Any unfamiliarity the Rider University men's basketball team has with the CollegeInsider.com Tournament will be made up for by the competition.
Rider, which faces Hartford University in Hartford at 7 p.m. tonight, is one of four Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference schools to be invited to the 32-team tournament, which features eight games tonight and eight more tomorrow night.
"I think it's great for our league," Rider first-year head coach Kevin Baggett said. "We have six of our 10 teams playing in a postseason tournament. That's pretty good."
While MAAC Tournament champion Iona is headed to the NCAAs and a date with No. 2 seed Ohio State, and regular-season champ Niagara is headed to the NIT and a trip to the University of Maryland, four MAAC squads will be in the CIT.
Other than Baggett's Broncs, Fairfield (19-15), the team that eliminated Rider from the MAAC Tournament, is at Kent State (20-13) tonight, while Loyola (21-11) hosts Boston University (17-12) tonight, and Canisius (18-13) hosts Elon (21-11) tomorrow night.
The winningest team in the tournament is Eastern Kentucky (24-9), which plays at Gardner-Webb (21-12) tonight.
Tonight's winners will be back in action Saturday, while tomorrow's winners come back Sunday.
Times and opponents will be determined after the first round is complete.
No, this isn't the Big Dance, but it's a chance to keep playing, and at this point Baggett is happy for that.
"I'd like to see this team get 20 wins, at least 20 wins," Baggett said. "It still hurts the way we lost (to Fairfield), so I think it's good that we're still able to play. We get an opportunity to show we're better than we played in our last game."
Rider's next game comes against a Hartford team (17-13) that improved from a 9-22 season a year ago and finished in third place in the America East Conference.
Hartford's third-year head coach John Gallagher comes from a Philadelphia basketball tradition. He played for St. Joseph's and was part of the 1996 team that made it to the Sweet 16. He was an assistant coach at both LaSalle, under Speedy Morris and Billy Hahn, and at Penn, under Glen Miller.
Gallagher's top player is 6-foot-6 sophomore Mark Nwakamma, who leads the team in both scoring (14.6 points per game) and rebounds (5.5 per game).
Sophomore guard Yolonzo Moore averages a second-best 9.4 points per game and leads the Hawks in assists with 2.6 per game. Both are Texas natives.
In similar fashion to the Broncs, Hartford got hot at the end of the season, as it won six of its final eight games and then got upset by UMBC, 69-62, in the first round of the America East Tournament.
Hartford faced two MAAC teams during the regular season, losing to Niagara 75-59 and beating Marist 56-46.

Patent foramen ovale
Primary tabs
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but usually closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.
Alternative Names
A foramen ovale allows blood to go around the lungs. A baby's lungs are not used when it grows in the womb, so the hole does not cause problems in an unborn infant.
The opening is supposed to close soon after birth, but sometimes it does not. In about 1 out of 4 people, the opening never closes. If it does not close, it is called a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
The cause of a PFO is unknown. There are no known risk factors.
Infants with a patent foramen ovale and no other heart defects do not have symptoms.
Exams and Tests
An echocardiogram can be done to diagnose a PFO. If the PFO is not easily seen, a cardiologist can perform a "bubble test." Saline solution (salt water) is injected into the body as the cardiologist watches the heart on an ultrasound (echocardiogram) monitor. If a PFO exists, tiny air bubbles will be seen moving from the right to left side of the heart.
This condition is not treated unless there are other heart problems, or the person had a stroke caused by a blood clot to the brain.
Treatment usually requires a procedure called cardiac cathertization, which is performed by a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.
Outlook (Prognosis)
An infant who has no other heart defects will have normal health.
Possible Complications
Unless there are other defects, there are usually no complications from a PFO.
Very rarely, people with PFOs may have a higher rate of a certain type of stroke (called paradoxical thromboembolic stroke). In a paradoxical stroke, a blood clot that develops in a vein (often leg veins) breaks free and travels to the right side of the heart. Normally, this clot would then continue to the lungs, but in someone with a PFO, the clot could pass through the hole to the left side of the heart. It may then be pumped out to the body, travel to the brain and become stuck there, preventing blood flow to that part of the brain (stroke).
Some patients may take medication to prevent blood clots.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your baby turns blue when crying or having a bowel movement. Usually, this disorder is only discovered when a cardiologist performs an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) for an unrelated heart murmur.

text: Hi people, I was just checking some usual haunts on the web and noticed there's an interesting thread on E and EROS (in the context of "Do we really need E and EROS?") on Wes Felter's weblog _Hack The Planet_ <http://wmf.editthispage.com/discuss/msgReader$4977?mode=day>. I think this might be a good opportunity to test out some of our recent discussions about how to pitch E, and I think arguments like this are worthwhile. Jacob Levy is the originator of the thread that concerns E and EROS in particular and he contends that after 30 years, the market doesn't need E or the security provides, because it doesn't solve a problem, or at least one worth solving given the pain of having to use E and EROS (my summarization, if I occluded or skipped over any points, that's my fault, not Jacob's). For the Sun Labs people in the E community, you may be interested to know that Jacob's favorite language is Tcl. I know MarkM and I have had significant conversations about Tcl, E, and Scheme in the context of what people consider to be "easy to use" programming languages, so this may shine some light on where he's coming from as a programmer. You can view all the thread messages and responses without creating an account, but I would urge you to do so as to be able to post responses. -- Dan Moniz <email@example.com> [http://www.pobox.com/~dnm/]

We are having 2 parties for this little guy, one here in Colorado and one in Arizona to celebrate both him and my grandma since they are birthday twins. Both will be fun, and contain alcohol.
My sister is flying in next week and we are knocking out a hell of a lot of the DIY's for the party; an excess amount of assorted garlands, party favors, finalize dessert table arrangements + the bloody mary bar. I can't wait to just finally get things done. I've been planning this party for what seems like all year, and I am fully set and DIYing as much as possible. I LOVE a good DIY.
Below are some pics that we are pulling a little inspiration from, + before that; Forrest's birthday wish list.
We didn't get the teepee in time for Christmas, so we decided to get him one for his Birthday, but I really am going to try and DIY it. Since we are getting him a teepee, we are also switching up his room a little. Removing the changing table arrangement we have and switching out his faux fur rug for this one, a lot better for him to play on and won't get little hairs in-between his fingers. We will keep the white rug for something else, since it was amazing for when he was a little baby and wasn't really playing, but laying. Just time to upgrade to something a little more "play friendly".
Also, the beloved wagon. Since he is getting a little bigger, we are making frequent trips to the park and I think he will love cruising in this wagon.
Lastly, we are getting him this adorable pig rocker. Forrest LOVES pigs and this one is so stinking cute I can't handle it. I think to make it a little more "boy" we might add a black bow tie or something.
As always, catch up on my main channel videos + our daily vlogs over on youtube!
