The creation of a website enabling Customs and Border Protection to collect fines and penalties via credit card is one of the finalists for the annual Securing Americans Value and Efficiency (SAVE) Award, launched in 2009 to reward federal employees who develop ideas to make government more efficient and save money.
This year's final four includes a proposal that would allow customs agents and agricultural specialists to collect payments at ports of entry, instead of having them sent by mail when a cashier isn't present.
Buyar Hayrula of CBP, who came up with the idea, would win a chance to discuss the website with President Barack Obama if his idea is chosen as the winner.
The other three finalists are: Kenneth Siehr, for online tracking of veterans mail prescription deliveries; Patrick Mindiola, for using email for electronic passport notifications; and Dirk Renner, for allowing comparable agency certifications to transfer from agency to agency or between departments.
Last year's winner was Frederick Winter, who suggested that all federal employees who get public transit benefits shift from regular fares to reduced senior fares as soon as they are eligible.
Now in its fifth year, voting for the SAVE Award winner will end noon Friday.

Get the full issue
Since 1987, 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.

Unleashing the full power of Android 5.0 Lollipop camera: see the difference between lossless raw (DNG) vs JPEG
58 Comments
1. Limbopope (Posts: 62; Member since: 12 Aug 2014)
Is it my imagination or are the light switch and light on the ceiling missing in the DNG of the close up face image. DNG is amazing XD
3. Dee79 (Posts: 281; Member since: 19 Jun 2014)
Its there just about. Just cropped out more :)
36. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I have to admit, these pictures look pretty amazing. I wonder how the Nexus 6 camera will rate against the others!
39. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
get samples from 1020 /1520 /930 you know how will DNG look its helps in zoomed crops greatly
49. Jimrod (Posts: 1354; Member since: 22 Sep 2014)
Nah, someone just got a little carried away with Photoshop seeing as even his freckles disappeared - which kind of renders all the comparisons a little suspect really. Why edit? Just give us the same shots.
58. My1cent (Posts: 345; Member since: 30 Jan 2014)
Missing switch and light at pic.19, 20
Looks like OVER-edited DNG!
7. Deaconclgi (Posts: 405; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
The ceiling is curved behind his head compared to the JPG photo too!!!
Woa! You mean with DNG I can dodge bullets? No, Limbo. What I mean is, that when you're ready you won't have to...also, it isn't the ceiling that bends, it is your mind that bends. There is no ceiling.
16. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
LOL! That's because the in-camera processing includes lens distorsion correction, while DNG is a sort of raw format: you get what comes out of the lens and sensor. This happens for every camera nowadays. Especially in compacts, you would be surprised to see how much the images are distorted by the lens and how much correction they get in post processing by the camera.
31. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
exposure is too high in dng
26. shaineql (Posts: 355; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
Just imagine next Flagship generation from sony/Samsung/Lg , we will rain terror on apple :)
Plus this is biggest step up in mobile OS world since ever(Android 4 to 5)
Cant even compare it to iOs 7 to 8 or WP 7 to 8
40. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
ahm ahm WP8 had it long before you ever knew infact 808 pureview had this i think, or atlest 1020/1520/930 do have dng images :P
44. hemedans (Posts: 511; Member since: 01 Jun 2013)
wp8 to wp8.1 was major improvement i have never seen in history of mobile os
56. o7o (Posts: 111; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
You realize this isn't the first time it's introduced right? It has been available on WP8 flagships from Nokia long ago!
2. der_damo (Posts: 188; Member since: 16 Sep 2014)
The porsche-one in the bottom looks awesome!
5. Numz (Posts: 34; Member since: 31 Oct 2009)
In every comparison the raw one looks the best and from a nexus 5 no less. I'm excited for the camera enhancements.
6. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
Porsche PA-namera Turbo.
25. power_x (Posts: 264; Member since: 28 Aug 2013)
I see what you DNG there
8. ali262883 (Posts: 13; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
Waiting for final release.. Its awesome
9. LikeMyself (Posts: 438; Member since: 23 Sep 2013)
Wow! The DNG compressed photos look like professional photos! The amount of details is impressive! The jpeg ones look like the typical high quality smartphone pics, but the DNG are just awesome! I believe the Porsche belongs to PA owner!
14. LoveHater (Posts: 176; Member since: 09 Oct 2013)
of course ,,, every APPLE PARTNER has Porshe
20. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
This site never was and never will be Apple partner. Do you see any other site posting that much news about iphone's bendgate ? Now tell me who's the biggest benefisier of this ridiculus
22. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
+ bendgate controversy. Yes, PA is that company's partner.
(PA give us too little time to edit a comment)
10. Settings (Posts: 1591; Member since: 02 Jul 2014)
That is why RAW and DNG is left with professional photographers, it has room for many post-processing.
Average joes should stick with JPEGS, since today's cameras have good sensors and processing powers it is par with lossless formats.
11. 5sApple (Posts: 11; Member since: 12 Sep 2014)
This is amazing. Well done Lollipop
12. ptikjp (Posts: 6; Member since: 08 Aug 2014)
You'll probably need an editor capable of manipulating .DNG to post process the RAW files ... like Light Room. This means there is extra effort in getting results. Its not point; capture and display experience anymore. You snap the pictures and then edit them (perhaps on the phone itself - not sure if the software exists yet) to your liking.The results are impressive none the less and is an option when you need it; should you need it.
53. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
Welcome to WP Lumia, android playing catch up. Good news for Droid however.
Check out "Rawer" for Windows Phonehttp://www.windowsphone.com/s?
13. Bogdan86 (Posts: 48; Member since: 06 Oct 2014)
with the new APIs is ther any posibility to have manual control over the Shutter speed ????
15. AstronautJones (Posts: 303; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
"Put simply, with Android 5.0 Lollipop, developers have the power to make camera apps that give the user control over shutter speed and allow for lossless raw (in DNG format) image output. "

GREAT! I now can unlock the full potential of my Z2's camera.
My Z2's photostream:https://www.flickr.com/photos/
24. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
With 2/3" curved sensor (with RAW support) Z4 should destroy each and every camera phone out there. Finally we can have a camera that should take equal/surpass the 808 in terms of IQ. Super excited about Z4
34. sergiobr (Posts: 707; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
And Samsung , and LG etc.. All them doing fantastic cameras
41. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
Yeah, LG and Samsung's ISP is the best in the android world. Especially I'm really impressed by LG's ISP, IMO they have the most well rounded camera in the android world, LG's smartphone consistently take great pic in various lighting situation (you can't say the same thing about samsung's smartphone), they're like the apple in android world meaning you can rely on their camera software. LG up their design game and they finally come with very good and modern looking UI.I'm really impressed with LG.
Even if Sony fu**ed up their great camera hardware with default camera mode, with RAW capabilities Z4 owners should be able to bring out the best of Sony's hardware - that's the most important things for me. No more suckier superior auto mode, RAW all they way.
35. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
The same has been said with every release of the Z and has fallen short of the competition. Maybe next time.
43. FaisalWibowo11 (Posts: 163; Member since: 12 Aug 2013)
I ain't no scientist but I pretty much know that there are formulas which are facts:
The ones who said Z1-Z3 cameras are bad are either:
1. Never own the devices
2. Own them but doesn't know how to use the camera.
I don't trust comparisons as the way to find out the true capability of a cameraphone is testing them out yourself.
Now I've taken over 2000 photos with my Z2, I know its strengths & weaknesses. And I have experiences with Samsung, LG, iphone cameras as well.
And I bet, I BET if I use Samsung, LG, iphone camera the same way I use Xperia cameras, I will not get great or even good results that I want because there are some faults in the camera system.
Example: there IS manual settings in samsung camera. But if I lower the ISO, the camera doesn't drop the shutter speed so I often shoot black wallpapers. Also the night mode uses some sort of interpolation method which does more harm than good, a night shot full of noise, artifacts & inconsistent exposure.
LG & iphone camera: not much that can be done, especially the iphone XD
I bet note 4, LG G3, iphone 6 plus which are hailed as the top cameras here can't shoot images as good as my Z2 does in my flickr photostream, I guarantee you that.
54. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
I get to play with the z and z1s daily, even my paultry 925 takes better images imo. The 1020 is a beast waiting for the z3 to hit our hands.
Without xenon flash, you have a camera that is 'good' that little difference makes it amazing. When you can stop a full speed fan blade in night with no motion blur cause of xenon flash, no matter the curved sensor it simply won't 'blow' it away.
45. sbw44 (Posts: 433; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
And you think that Nokia and MS are just gonna sit around and fo nothing? You forgot nokias involvements with pelican technology and MS agreement with Canon?
Z4 will only be on par with the 1020/808 but the 1020 successor will cream everything else
48. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
What i mean by my comment is that " Z4 with curved sensor (plus RAW support) should destroy every phone already out there". I still believe 808 is king of phone photography in terms of Image quality. But with that kind of sensor Sony SHOULD (let's see if they can) easily surpass the 808 in IQ .
Yeah, i actually forgot about Nokia's involvement with pelican tech. It looks like in 2015 there will be a some exciting new camera tech. I'm also very curious about what the 1020's successor will bring to the table. Sony should/must up their camera game in 2015 otherwise MS surely will make fun the hell out of Sony.
It will be like PS4 vs XBO all over again. Let them fight. Let's see who wins: MS or Sony.
52. bur60 (Posts: 847; Member since: 07 Jul 2014)
I hope so. Competition keeps innovation and technology alive.
51. bur60 (Posts: 847; Member since: 07 Jul 2014)
And I can unleash my Z3 compact muhahaha, btw amazing photostream, I have to go to Jakarta now.
18. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
DNG looks great!
19. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2183; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
I just installed it on my N5. I'll have to wring it out later.
21. SiyabongaMoss (Posts: 12; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
Now imagine RAW on the Xperia Z line of smartphones
23. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
If I imagine it, I just see a great amount of noise... ;)
27. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
I just don't know the hype about Xperia z series of cameras. They're camera quality in person has never wowed me. Just like apple with their camera. They always appear dull and muddy with a yellowish tint to it. Test people call it realistic colors. For smartphone camera, I'll stick with Nokia or samsung.
50. bur60 (Posts: 847; Member since: 07 Jul 2014)
Its because of the postprocessing. If you think for a second, Most companies use Sony sensors or lenses because of its good performance. Sony has bad postprocessing. DNG allows minimal-to-zero postprocessing.
28. jove39 (Posts: 1857; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
This is good...already using dng format on OPO.
29. ishan.heru (Posts: 69; Member since: 31 Aug 2014)
Thank you nokia for bringing such fully featured camera experience that now all the other os are trying to compete. A very well come change from the android world. Would also like to see the inclusion of xenon flash in camera phones.
55. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
Xenon is king, low light photos with almost no motion blur, this includes a fan blade or a fast moving child. It's what makes the 1020 simply king, imo. I have been loving the 1020 and just sad I didn't fork out the cash earlier.
30. irfanil (Posts: 31; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
Ofcourse DNG is better. The blacks and whites are not clipped like in JPEG that is why you have the option to brighten the shadows and tone down over exposed areas.
This is a must have feature for those who want to edit the pictures the way they want and don't rely on the apps processing. Great to see this on Android at last :)
32. avalon2105 (Posts: 258; Member since: 12 Jul 2014)
Sony should probably benefit the most from this. Their processing can be off and having RAW file to post-process by yourself should do wanders. Their camera hardware is probably the best in Android world but they never get the processing just right. You can get awesome results with Sony phones but you almost always have to play with settings to get those results.
33. DaMaster (Posts: 33; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
I hope Lolipop is capable do doing 30band PEQ
37. walkman800 (Posts: 113; Member since: 26 Aug 2014)
mother of god :O
38. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Glad this is finally coming to Android. Windows Phone has been able to do DNGs for over a year, and they've had manual control of their shutter speed since WP7. But, Windows Phone made the mistake of not enabling this feature on all devices, while hopefully Lollipop should enable this on all devices.
My single favorite feature of Android 5.0 so far.
42. D.Lamore (Posts: 198; Member since: 15 Aug 2014)
LOLLIPOP f*ck the world RAW
46. Derekjeter (Posts: 889; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
Does this mean I will be able to use this on my Nexus 6?
47. gigaraga (Posts: 1454; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
The dynamic range is impressive, beats having to use HDR although HDR is much faster, when OTG etc.
57. rsmani (Posts: 5; Member since: 21 Oct 2014)
I just read that Camera FV-5, my go-to camera app, is also getting RAW support. I found this link (camerafv5.com/pages/raw-samples.php) with some DNG samples to download and they definitely offer much more potencial for retouching, specially on the shadows, and I can use a better noise reduction algorithm for the pictures or tune the strength of the NR a little bit down to preserve more detail. Definitely I cannot imagine myself retouching all the DNG pictures, but it seems that it will take DNG+JPEG, therefore, I can use the JPEGs for viewing, but know that I still have the RAW if I want to do something with a specific picture...

Corporate Gifts
Corporate gifts are very important for the company's image and for building a good relationship with clients. In fact, these gifts have really stood the time test to be a useful promotional tool. Apart from these, the gifts also help businesses increase and positively direct their income avenue. The specialty of these gifts is that these are useful for corporate events or formal events such as a brand launch or service launch. From marketing perspective too these gifts are extremely helpful in serving several purposes. Here are some of the benefits of corporate gifts that you need to know.
Increase brand recognition
The goal of every business, whether big or small is brand recognition. But how can you really make your brand stand apart from the competitors while still remaining in the minds of your customers? One of the easiest ways includes creative marketing. There is no doubt that promotional products serve as a great option to increase the brand awareness, thereby customizing a gift the customers can use in their daily life. One of the ideal way is to include a gift item that is useful and at the same time has the company logo. This helps you keep your business on top your customer's mind.
Helps attract new customers and client
If the customers receive free gifts, not only will they appreciate it, but will also try their best to reach out to the company. For instance, if you give away free gifts at a trade show, more customers would like to visit your booth to get it. It is the same thing when you distribute corporate gifts. In fact, with a gift in their hand, these customers now have something to remember about the company.
Helps build brand image
When you give away corporate gifts externally, it helps clients associate it with your brand image as well as loyalty to clients. Apart from this, it also helps you attract new clients and customers. When companies give away such gifts, many clients take it as an opportunity to develop a good professional relationship with your company.
Reaches mass at an affordable cost
If you have a fixed and tight budget, it might be difficult for you to pick up right marketing items that speaks for your business and at the same time is affordable. These gifts serve a great option that has a long lasting impact on your client. Always remember that simple giveaways are a good way of increasing customer loyalty.
Lastly, businesses must invest some time in picking up the corporate gift for their clients since it says a lot about the company. The options are many and so you need to be careful about what you pick.

In consonance with its Kashmir policy and use of terror as an instrument of state policy, Pakistan backed terrorists owing allegiance to the Jaish-e-Mohammed attacked an army installation in Kashmir inflicting heavy casualties. The Indian state's intransigence has only emboldened Pakistan to devise new ways of bleeding India.
In the wee hours of Sunday 18th September 2016, a group of four heavily armed fedayeen attackers belonging to the Masood Azhar-led Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) struck at the headquarters of the 12 Infantry Brigade at Uri and killed 17 army personnel belonging to the 10 Dogra and 6 Bihar Regiments. (Uri is a town on the river Jhelum located in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir). After a fierce gunfight lasting more than three hours all the four attackers were neutralized.
The JeM is a Pakistan funded and ISI-trained terror outfit whose main objective is to carry out attacks against high-value and high security Indian targets. JeM primarily attacks Indian police forces and other government targets, including army bases, camps, and public places in Kashmir and elsewhere in India. This is the same group which had carried out an attack on Indian Parliament in 2001 and earlier in April 2000 it was responsible for the suicide bombing outside the Indian Army's 15 Corp headquarters in Badami Bagh. The group receives funds through charitable foundations such as the Pak-based Al Rashid Trust, (ART) a trust fund recognized by the U.S. as a financial facilitator of terrorists for raising funds for Al Qaeda and the Taliban in 2001.
A map recovered by the army personnel recovered from the deceased attackers had markings in the Pashtun language and indicated a detailed plan of action. Four AK-47 rifles and four Under Barrel Grenade Launchers along with ammunition were also recovered. Some of the items had Pakistani markings. The Director General of military operations, Lieutenant-General Ranbir Singh, said that there was evidence that the attackers belonged to JeM. The map retrieved from the terrorists revealed that they were to kill unarmed troops, then storm a medical aid unit near the brigade administrative block and blow themselves up in the officers' mess.
Sources said the map deciphered by military experts indicated that the terrorists were drawn from the banned terror group, Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) that recently started working under Jaish command and calls itself "Guardians of the Prophet". The SSP cadre directly operates under Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar.
According to reports there was specific intelligence input two days earlier that militants were planning to strike army formations close to the Line of Control. Furthermore, Business Standard learns the Uri brigade was given pinpoint intelligence warnings about an impending attack. The intelligence agency had said that three fidayeen squads were launched from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. One of them attacked Uri, another went to Poonch where it was engaged by the security forces, and the third was untraced.
Indian's political dispensation has so far failed to take any concrete action against the Pakistanis or the groups funded and backed by Pakistan till date, notwithstanding the regular terror strikes carried out on Indian soil. India has been unable to muster the political resolve to hit Pak where it hurts most. India's action has largely been confined to rhetoric and soft options such as economic sanctions or boycott or diplomatic isolation. These actions in the past have not deterred Pakistan or its thugs; these have been mere pinpricks. Pakistan will be deterred only if its very existence is threatened. In order to hit Pakistan effectively, India will have to revise its "No first use" nuclear doctrine and declare that India will respond in a manner that it deems appropriate including a first use of nuclear weapons depending on the exigency. With a revised nuclear doctrine, India can and should counter Pakistan, if need be militarily.
Time and again this blog has called for targeting Pakistanis and Pakistani strategic and commercial interests world-wide. In fact, when in 2008, Pak-backed terror groups attacked and destroyed the Indian Embassy in Kabul, Pakistani missions should have been targeted in retaliation. India failed to respond effectively and the result was Mumbai 26/11. The then National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan, according to an article appearing in The Hindu, called for action. "Talk-talk is better than fight-fight," he said, "but it hasn't worked. I think we need to pay back in the same coin."
Mr. Narayanan, intelligence officers serving at the time recall, authorised India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) to begin a quiet dialogue on doing just that with its Afghan counterparts. It found a willing partner in Amrullah Saleh, the then head of the Riyasat-e Amniyat-e Milli, or the National Directorate of Security (NDS). Following the 26/11 strike, the officials said, RAW even explored the prospect of targeting Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, using NDS' assets inside jihadist groups hostile to the Pakistan Army. India's intelligence czar, though, never got the political clearance he hoped for. The then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh remained committed to the dialogue process with Pakistan, believing that bomb-for-bomb strikes would increase terrorist violence. In early 2010, foreign service officer Shivshankar Menon replaced Mr. Narayanan as the National Security Adviser, and the doves came to control policy-making.
"Keep your hands in your pockets," a senior R&AW official recalls Mr. Menon as telling Afghan desk officers in mid-2010 — effectively putting an end to any hope of tit-for-tat strike.
India must appreciate the harsh reality that this ongoing undeclared war with Pakistan must be fought alone; neither the US nor the Russians can be expected to fight India's war. At best the international community can be expected to extend technological assistance to India. And importantly this war needs to fought on all fronts - political, military, diplomatic and economic. And India hopefully having learned the lessons of 1965 and 1971 would not leave the "business unfinished" in this undeclared war.
A few options that India may consider in the present scenario are:
- High precision surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) targeting the enemy's logistics and infrastructure. This may result in a certain degree of escalation, which is only to be expected.
- Air-strikes on Pakistani bases responsible for aiding infiltration of terrorists and Pakistani irregulars.
- In order to explore the possibility of countering Pak-sponsored and backed terror, Indian security agencies must start developing covert action capabilities in Pakistan and elsewhere to effectively strike at Pakistani interests. Options such as covert action cannot be discussed in great detail in blogs and news studios given the deniable nature of the acts.
- Targeted killings of military/ISI personnel could be cost effective.
- Pakistani society is fragile and prone to sectarian violence and India must not hesitate to exploit this weakness.
- India can also abrogate the Indus Waters Treaty on the ground of rebus sic stantibus effectively crippling Pakistan's sustenance.
- Normal trade and bus and train services between India and Pakistan may also be suspended. This action would be more cosmetic and symbolic.
It must be reiterated that should India fail to act 'decisively' meaning thereby using the hard power options, India as a state would have failed in discharging its primary role, namely, of protecting and defending its territorial integrity and sovereignty and the international community will cease to take India seriously as a dominant power.

Jerry Manuel noticed that Jason Bay was pressing a bit, so he gave him a day off on Sunday - the same day they handed out "Jason Bay" Bobbleheads at Citi Field.
"You're going to go through some things and try harder than you've ever tried before," Manuel said of Bay's first season in New York. "What he needs to do is exhale and play Jason Bay baseball. I think the West Coast is a good start for him."
Bay is hitless in his last ten at-bats and is batting just .184 (7-for-38) in his last 10 games.
He has just six home runs through the first half of the first season of a four-year $66 million contract. He hit 36 homers last season.
REST FOR REYES ON MONDAY: Injured shortstop Jose Reyes will rest on Monday and resume rehab activities on Tuesday. Reyes left Saturday's game in the seventh inning after aggravating his strained right oblique. He sat out of Sunday's game and has missed seven of the past 11 games with the injury.
Reyes swung left-handed for the second straight day on Sunday and said he felt "better" than he did on Saturday.
"I still feel it a little bit," said Reyes, whose injury has forced him to hit solely from the right side.
Reyes will travel to Anaheim for All-Star game festivities. He plans to receive treatment from the National League team's trainer. He will not play in the game.
"I'm disappointed because I want to play but I understand that I have a problem and I have to get ready for the second half to help this team to win," Reyes said. "So that's the most important thing right now, to help the New York Mets."
Reyes was, however, optimistic about the prospect of returning to the lineup on Thursday against the Giants.
IKE HOMERS, WINS POOL: Ike Davis had a pretty good day on Sunday.
The rookie first baseman finished his first-half on a positive note by hitting a monster home run and won the team's World Cup pool.
Davis went 2-for-3 with a 420-foot solo homer to center field in the sixth to put the Mets up, 3-0.
"Getting a 'W' and hitting the ball up the middle hard is what I was trying to do," said Davis, who had World Cup champion Spain in the team's pool. "And now I can go into the break with a positive attitude (knowing) that I've made some adjustments."
Davis was just 8-for-39 in the last ten games prior to Sunday.
GLASS HALF FULL AFTER FIRST-HALF: The Mets (48-40) finished the first half with a 2-4 home stand against the Reds and the Braves - two first-place teams. They are four back of the Braves entering the All-Star Break and blew a chance to earn a share for first-place in the NL East by losing two of three to Atlanta this weekend.
Still, Manuel and Johan Santana were encouraged by the team's first half.
"We were hoping that when we got Carlos back we'd be at least .500 or at least in shouting distance but I think we've surpassed that," Manuel said after Sunday's 3-0 win over Atlanta.
"We're going to compete (in the second half)," added Santana, who threw seven shutout innings on Sunday to improve to 7-5. " That's the way we have approached everything from the beginning. This is not going to change."
David Wright agrees, but sees room for improvement.
"We've had our ups and downs. We're not satifisfied by any means being (four) games out," said Wright, who went 1-for-3 with a walk on Sunday and finished the first half hitting .314. "As far as I'm concerned our goal is to win the division."
The Mets begin the second half of the season with an 11-day, 11-game road trip.
BOBBY ON PAR: Bobby Parnell struck out Chipper Jones to open a what was a 1-2-3 eighth inning against the Braves on Sunday. Parnell has a 1.64 ERA in 12 appearances this season and is unscored upon in ten of those appearances.
Manuel was encouraged by Parnell's performance and the manager hinted that Parnell was a legitimte candidate for the team's eighth-inning role out of the pen, one that the team has been trying to fill all season.
Francisco Rodriguez finished with a 1-2-3 ninth to earn his 21st save.
FIVE WALKS FOR PEREZ: Left-hander Oliver Perez walked five in five innngs on Sunday in a rehab start for Buffalo. Perez surrendered three hits and one earned run. Manuel said earlier this week that Perez would make one more start before returning to the big-league club. It's unclear what role Perez will play when he comes back to Queens.
RYOTA PITCHES IN: Ryota Igarashi tossed a scoreless eighth inning for Port St. Lucie in his first minor-league appearance. He struck out one. Igarashi (0-1, 7.91 ERA in the bigs) was sent down to make room for Nick Evans.
JESUS OUT: Jesus Feliciano will be demoted to make room for Carlos Beltran.

The IB diploma programme consists of six courses over the junior and senior year of high school--three taken at high level 9(HL) and three taken at standard level (SL). In the center of the hexagon lies Theory of Knowledge (TOK); the Extended Essay (EE); and Creativity, Action, and Service (CAS). All requirements must be met in order to attain an International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Black Girls Rock: Women Of Color Who Defined 2012 And Inspired Us The Whole Time
- By Bossip Staff Categories: A "Lil Positivity", For the Fellas, For the Ladies
Great Black Women In 2012
2012 was the year of the Black woman. From Michelle to Serena, Black women took over like never before. While society is piling on women of color, these ladies strived to rise above that and spread some positivity for the rest of the world.
So kick it with us and salute the women of color who inspired us this year.
Serena Williams – She damn near won a Grand Slam, won a gold medal and crip walked at the Olympics. She cemented herself as the greatest female athlete of all time.
Michelle Obama – She delivered the best speech of the whole 2012 Presidential campaign and possibly the best First Lady speech ever.
Beyonce – She popped out her baby, locked in a Super Bowl performance and a huge Pepsi deal. Bey making it rain.

Dusseldorf Journal; Look at the New Germans, Rich and Living It Up
By SERGE SCHMEMANN, Special to the New York Times
Published: April 11, 1989
DUSSELDORF, West Germany, April 6— The message along the chic ''Ko'' is etched in marble and polished brass: The Germans are rich, and learning to enjoy it.
They may still spurn credit cards and save three times what Americans do, and when buying a 150-mile-an-hour supercar they still feel compelled to pretend they chose it for its safety and sturdiness.
But the tanned couples in mink and soft leather strolling down the Konigsallee past gleaming boutiques ranging from Cartier and Gucci to West Germany's own Uta Raasch and Jil Sander, the $100,000-plus Porsches and 12-cylinder BMW's double-parked on both sides of the boulevard speak of style, self-indulgence and fast Deutsche marks.
At the Blome watch shop, a saleswoman complains that she is constantly running out of $2,000 Rolexes. Across the street, the Hartmann travel agency caters to people who want more than last year's jaunt to the Caribbean - perhaps a safari in South Africa, or a visit to a Wyoming dude ranch. With almost half of all West Germans now heading abroad at least once a year, a travel agent said, the search for the exotic and original becomes ever more difficult. Flush With New Money
The Ko is Dusseldorf today, a brash town flush with new money as the financial center for the industrial Ruhr. But that is not to say it has any monopoly on style or money. The regal Maximilianstrasse in Munich, the fabled Kurfurstendamm of West Berlin, the glittering Goethestrasse in Frankfurt, Konigstrasse in Stuttgart or Jungfernstieg in Hamburg are every bit as classy. For that matter, rare is the town anywhere in West Germany without its pedestrian-only stretch of trendy boutiques in restored half-timbered houses.
''There's a tremendous binge going on,'' said Jurgens Fischer, the editor of the German edition of Men's Vogue. ''It's true that the Germans are still putting zillions into savings and that they're more into the serious side of life, but even then there's a lot left to spend.
''They're obsessed with cars, of course; they're into second or third homes, horses, yachts, travel. Per capita consumption on clothes by men is the highest in Europe. What I always wonder is, where are all these men dressed by Armani? I don't see them in the street.''
That the Germans are prosperous is hardly news, given the celebrated ''economic miracle'' that has catapulted West Germany in 50 years from devastation and defeat to its position as the world's biggest exporter. What is new is the growing readiness to enjoy and flaunt the wealth a bit, albeit in a distinctly German way. 'Old Money' Is Rare
Unlike some of their European neighbors or the Americans, the Germans have only a limited experience of wealth. No great colonial empire filled their coffers with gold, and most of the industrial fortunes built up early in this century were consumed by inflation and war. So there is a lot less ''old money'' here than in Paris, London or even Rome. In fact, about 80 percent of West Germany's wealth today has been created since 1950, and only now are new generations beginning to inherit it.
''For the first time the Germans are wealthy, and they behave like wealthy people behave,'' said Meinhard Miegel, director of the Institute for Economic and Social Policy in Bonn. But the money, he said, has only begun to make fundamental changes in the Germans' traditionally cautious, conservative and ''sensible'' approach to consumption.
''Thirty, even 15 years ago, they really had no money to show,'' he said. ''Now, a large portion of the German population has saturated its basic needs, and as a consequence they spend their money in a more visible fashion.
''But we cannot say that people inheriting money today have different spending patterns from people in the 1950's. The value pattern has been very much the same. Young people are spending more, but following the pattern of their parents - they spend 'reasonably.' BMW and Mercedes still push their cars as sturdy, sensible, safe; they never appeal openly to status.'' Still Big Savers
The conservatism is most evident in the amount Germans tuck away, and how they tuck it away. Though savings have declined from the mid-1970's, when people put away more than 17 percent of their earnings, West Germans still saved 13.8 percent of their money last year, compared with 3 to 4 percent in the United States.
Very little of that money is gambled, even on stocks. Only 15 percent of German stock owners are private investors.
There are other notable things the Germans do not spend on. If wealthy Americans generally support charities and the arts and spend heavily on private educations and doctors, Germans have relegated these functions to one of the world's most elaborate security nets.
''The idea of private support for the arts is only beginning to catch on,'' said Gabriele Henkel, the wife of a detergent magnate in Dusseldorf who has made a pioneering name for herself as a patron of contemporary art and as the organizer of elaborately staged dinner parties.
A similar conservatism characterizes Germans as consumers. Cash is still the dominant form of payment, stores are strictly closed in the evenings and on Sundays, sales are rare. A Readiness to Splurge
Yet for all the constraints of the culture, the indelible message on the Ko is that those who have it no longer feel they have to hide it. The poverty of the 1950's, the rebelliousness of the 60's, the political upheavals of the 70's seem to have given way to a new spirit of hedonism, a readiness to splurge and have fun.
Fine restaurants, a rarity 20 years ago, have proliferated. Art galleries are booming, shopping arcades are proliferating, and more families boast a second car and a second home.
A different but equally potent passion among Germans is travel abroad, especially to sunny beaches far from the madding drizzles. Statistics compiled by travel agents show that the number of Germans taking at least one vacation trip a year has risen from 41.6 percent of the population in 1970 to 64.9 percent last year -when a full two-thirds of the trips were to foreign lands.

Scott Renda Portfolio ManagerOffice of Management and Budget
The work: Pioneering three key programs that are transforming federal IT: the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, the cloud-first initiative, and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program.
The impact: Thanks to Renda's leadership, 81 data centers have already been closed, and agencies have moved 40 services to the cloud, resulting in the elimination of more than 50 legacy systems.
The nuts and bolts: Renda also led the launch of FedRAMP, a monumental first step in addressing security in cloud computing environments. It provides a governmentwide approach to assessing, authorizing and monitoring cloud services.

In the latest issue: Looking back on three decades of big stories in federal IT.
Get the full issue
Since 1987, 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.

Wow. I'm almost tempted to just start falling on people at AX to see how understanding and forgiving they are.
Almost, but not quite. Seriously, I don't understand why y'all seem pissed at the guy's reaction.

Because, if this was a shoujo manga, it would take about three chapters (give or take) for him to stop being someone the readers love to hate?
And during those chapters, that poor girl would repeatedly run into him (trip into him, spill drinks on him, whatever) and keep getting yelled at, and at some point, it would turn out that he's actually a nice(-ish) guy because he finally gets the hang of catching her before she causes him bodily harm.
And lessee, maybe she reminds him of someone of a heavier persuasion that he didn't notice until after he yelled that it wasn't the same person? Maybe three minutes before this he had just been squashed repeatedly by someone in the same general outfit, so he was already ticked and ready to yell.

Yeah, if a guy fell on a girl and she responded the same way, nobody would call her a jerk for it!

His response was to scream insults at her.
It's an unjustified reaction. She tripped on stairs and landed on him, which I am sure hurt but it was an accident and she's immediately trying to address any harm she's caused. Frankly, if I were him, I'd grumble that I was fine and probably just let it go.
When did being a decent human stop being something people strove to be? I mean, if the girl was trying to play if off and act like nothing happened or, God forbid, trying to act like it was his fault, then his rage would make sense to me. Instead, she's clearly upset that she might have hurt him and he's exploding at her for tripping and falling. It's not like she was trying to land on him!
If he acts this pissed when someone is apologizing for an accident, how does he respond to actual intentional harm? Pull a knife?
The character in the comic is over-reacting and being a jerk. It's what makes the punchline of the comic work but it can also serve as a nice bit of social commentary on how we've become so much less civilized in modern times.
Except for people who feed Mogwai after midnight. Seriously, there is no excuse for those idiots.

Nice comic, and congrats on your upcoming marriage, Robin. My brother is about to get married, and one of my sisters just got married (I was the minister), so I have a small idea of what you'll be getting into. Have fun with the ceremony and don't let stress get to you.

This is now my new life goal.
There's nothing wrong with getting a little miffed or irritated if someone falls. However, it's an accident and accidents happen, so unless you want everyone to yell and insult you for every mistake and accident on your behalf, then you you shouldn't do the same.
She trips and falls and bumps in to someone. S**t happens, life goes on. Insulting someone while yelling at them at the top of your lungs is quite excessive for a minor mistake. I've had people trip and bump or fall in to me, and I don't respond like that, and would find anyone who did to be a complete douchebag.

Honestly, anytime I get hurt or injured, I always need a few seconds before I can tolerate someone speaking to me, or I will snap at them as an automatic reaction. Of course, "fat bitch" will never leave my lips.
Anyway, congratulations on your marriage!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Good luck.
The thing that got me the most about this comic was the girl's hair in two ponytails, like Usagi's. Given how often that one bumped into Mamoru in the first season, there may yet be hope...

The problem with that is that "clumsy oaf" wasn't used, "fat bitch" was. I wouldn't have a problem with the strip if "clumsy oaf" was, but the strip, for me, is illustrating the point that if you're not <100 lbs, you're fat.
Won't lie, I didn't think it up myself. I actually got it from Niecy (sp?) on Dancing with the Stars. Who was a heavy-set woman, who constantly pointed out that she wasn't skinny like all (sic) of the other girls.

Congrats, Robin, on the impending nuptials.
About the "fat bitch" line, and the offense that some folks appear to have taken to it. Considering that the girl in the strip is obviously not overweight, and in fact appears to be quite slim, is it not conceivable that the whole point of the line was to point out just how much of a jerk the guy is?
It is decidedly uncool to disparage a persons weight, whether they be thin or thick, but this guy does it without a second thought. I suspect that Robin's not saying anything about "heavy" people and is instead saying a lot about the kind of dirtbag some people can be.
