GAO-09-562: Published: Jun 26, 2009. Publicly Released: Jun 26, 2009.
The Department of Defense (DOD) and other executive agencies increasingly deploy civilians in support of contingency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

GAO was asked to compare agency policies and to identify any issues in policy or i...

GAO-09-840: Published: Jun 25, 2009. Publicly Released: Jun 25, 2009.
DOD is in the process of implementing this human capital system, and according to DOD, about 212,000 civilian employees are currently under the system.

Human Capital: Sustained Attention to Strategic Human Capital Management Needed
GAO-09-632T: Published: Apr 22, 2009. Publicly Released: Apr 22, 2009.
In 2001, GAO identified human capital management as a governmentwide high-risk area because federal agencies lacked a strategic approach to human capital management that integrated human capital efforts with their missions and program goals. Progress has been made. However, the area remains high-risk because of a continuing need for a governmentwide framework to advance human capital reform. The i...
Veterinarian Workforce: The Federal Government Lacks a Comprehensive Understanding of Its Capacity to Protect Animal and Public Health
GAO-09-424T: Published: Feb 26, 2009. Publicly Released: Feb 26, 2009.
Veterinarians play an essential role in the defense against animal diseases, some of which can have serious repercussions for the health of animals, humans, and the economy. More than half of the federal veterinarians work in the Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS). However, there is a growing national shortage of veterinarians. This testimony focuses primarily on...
Human Capital: Opportunities Exist to Build on Recent Progress to Strengthen DOD's Civilian Human Capital Strategic Plan
GAO-09-235: Published: Feb 10, 2009. Publicly Released: Feb 10, 2009.
Having the right number of civilian personnel with the right skills is critical to achieving the Department of Defense's (DOD) mission. With more than 50 percent of its civilian workforce (about 700,000 civilians) eligible to retire in the next few years, DOD may be faced with deciding how to fill numerous mission-critical positions--some involving senior leadership. The National Defense Authoriza...
Results Oriented Management: Opportunities Exist for Refining the Oversight and Implementation of the Senior Executive Performance-Based Pay System
GAO-09-82: Published: Nov 21, 2008. Publicly Released: Dec 15, 2008.
Agencies are allowed to raise pay caps for their Senior Executive Service (SES) members if the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) certifies and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) concurs that their appraisal systems meet applicable criteria. As requested, this report examines selected agencies' policies and procedures for (1) factoring organizational performance into SES appraisal decisio...

GAO-08-815T: Published: May 21, 2008. Publicly Released: May 21, 2008.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was created from a disparate group of agencies with multiple missions, values, and cultures into a cabinet department whose goals are to, among other things, protect U.S. borders and infrastructure, improve intelligence and information sharing, and prevent and respond to potential terrorist attacks. GAO designated the implementation and transformation of D...
The Department of Defense's Civilian Human Capital Strategic Plan Does Not Meet Most Statutory Requirements
GAO-08-439R: Published: Feb 6, 2008. Publicly Released: Feb 6, 2008.
The achievement of the Department of Defense's (DOD) mission is dependent in large part on the skills and expertise of its civilian workforce--which consists of almost 700,000 personnel, who develop policy, provide intelligence, manage finances, and acquire and maintain weapon systems. With more than 50 percent of its civilian personnel becoming eligible to retire in the next few years, DOD may fi...

Congress candidate for Parliamentary elections, Ravneet Singh Bittu, advocated international airport for Ludhiana. Bittu said this while addressing a meeting of industrialists at Aggar Nagar on Sunday.
He said for the development of the industry and the industrial town, an international airport in Ludhiana was need of the hour.
Bittu shared his views with industrialists and discussed the plans for the development of the city. He said if elected, he would work to establish international airport in Ludhiana.
Slamming SAD-BJP alliance, Bittu said Ludhiana, which was once a leader in industry had been lacking behind due to the adverse policies of SAD-BJP alliance that did nothing for the development of industry.
Bittu said his aim was to resolve the problems of industry and unemployment in the city. He would encourage ITIs and other institutes to establish their branches in Ludhiana, so that the youth could get quality education and training. He said information and broadcasting minister did a lot for the development of Ludhiana and he would continue it.
Students of Shri Aurbindo College of Commerce and Management had a question answer session with Bittu. MLAs Bharat Bhushan Ashu, Gurkeerat Singh Kotli, former minister Malkit Singh Dakha, senior Congress leaders Ramesh Joshi and KK Bawa were also present on the occasion.

September 19, 2014
Even with tense relations between Russia and Western countries, a complete ban on clothing and textile imports from the United States and the European Union is highly unlikely, according to a new report by Fashionbi.
"Fashion in Russia - What future holds" says imported products make up about 75 percent of the Russian apparel and accessories market, but international products are being threatened by the geopolitical climate in the country. However, even if a ban on apparel imports is raised, Russians will still need fashion, and will find new ways to get the brands they are loyal to.
"Russian consumers are obsessed with fashion," said Ambika Zutshi, CEO of Fashionbi, Milan.
"In fact, in our latest marketing research on Russia, our analysts brought forward the fact that Russians spend 10 percent of their total household expenditure on clothes and shoes, irrespective of their financial statuses," she said. "And this is despite the fact that the prices of both branded and 'non-branded' products are anyway two to three times higher in the country, due to heavily imposed tax laws, high demands, etc.
"To explain further, womenswear accounts for 60 percent of the total sales in the Russian fashion market," she said. "Be it the 'open markets' in the small cities or the hi-fi luxury labels in the downtown of big cities, the demand just keeps growing with enormous amounts.
"Since forever, Russians are, as well, famous for traveling abroad and contributing highly to the economy of Western Fashion capitals. For instance, the top spenders in Italy are Russians with a 27 percent share of spending, followed by the Chinese with 21 percent and thirdly, the Americans with 6 percent."
Spending habits
Russian consumers are also growing their spending online, currently making 25,000 purchases through ecommerce channels daily. The overall shopping market is projected to rise to $32.1 billion in 2014, and in 2013 there was a 100 percent increase in cross-border online shopping, with a total $3.67 billion in sales.
Fashion makes up one-third of all of the online purchases in Russia.
Graphic from Fashionbi report
Even with the rise, there are some barriers to ecommerce, due to consumer concerns. Online payment is uncommon, since consumers are wary of using credit cards on the Internet, due to the prevalence of counterfeits and the non-delivery of goods that had already been paid for.
Duty fees have also been raised on international online orders. Before June 2014, consumers could import about $1,300 worth of merchandise weighing up to 68 pounds duty free. Now the limit has been set lower, at around $200 and 22 pounds.
Traveling abroad
Britain and Italy are the top shopping destinations for Russian tourists.
In Italy, Russians outspend the Chinese, with a 27 percent share to China's 21 percent. While Milan is the most popular first shopping destination, Russians also display a preference for Verona and and Rimini.
New Versace boutique in Milan
Russians currently spend about $1,000 on average per transaction when visiting the United Kingdom.
However, political upheaval has reduced the amount of Russian tourists to the U.K. In February 2014, Russian spending was down 17 percent from the same month the prior year, bumping it down a spot in the rankings of top spenders, putting it below China, the Middle East and Nigeria.
Forbidden fashion
Currently the ban imposed on imports only applies to food products, rather than items bought for personal use. However, Russian president Vladimir Putin has threatened to expand these limits to apparel if further sanctions are placed on Russia from the E.U. and U.S.
If the restrictions were expanded to fashion, there would be an impact.
Only governmental figures are expected to drastically shift their travel habits, feeling more of the impact of sanctions and the political situation. These individuals may look outside the traditional fashion cities to the United Arab Emirates or Turkey.
Wealthy civilians are expected to still flock to the Western fashion capitals.
If consumers could no longer shop for Western luxury brands within Russia, luxury brands would need to work to maintain a relationship long-distance.
To reach these consumers, and to help illustrate the value of the luxury goods, the report provides one option of curating a completely branded travel experience, from staying at a brand hotel to dining at a brand-owned restaurant and shopping exclusively with the brand with individual attention.

Ecommerce would likely boom further, as consumers in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg would have to find new ways to get the fashion they are used to buying in local stores. In addition to brand's own stores, retailers like Shopbop and Net-A-Porter would likely gain in popularity.
Will the uncertainty in Ukraine and the straining of international relations impact luxury brands for the long-haul?
With potential sanctions, restricted visas and other penalties being considered and Western forces pledging aid to Ukraine, ties to affluent Russian consumers may be damaged. However, some commentators argue that the conflict poses only speculative threats to the long-term health of the luxury sector and that growth will continue (see story).
Brands can do a few things to limit the impact of Russia's political climate on their business.
"One of the most smart things to do will be setting up an ecommerce store, directly operated by the brand, mobile-synced and with minimal shipping time," Ms. Zutshi said. "Russians do not have a habit to make a lot of online purchases, due to various reasons such as credit-card theft fear or growing amount of counterfeit products, etc. So, if a brand launches its e-store, as well 'stamps' it with its ownership - it can really give the consumer a feeling of authenticity and they can definitely think about buying the products online, directly at the brand's e-store.
"Another amazingly clever thing to do would be 'organized travels' that a brand can do for the consumers coming from Russia," she said. "Now, with the on-going political crisis as well, there could be a situation that a ban is imposed on the import of Western fashion products. Hence, the brands need to be prepared and already come up with strategies, so as not to experience a huge downfall.
"The brands can organize the whole travel for the consumers coming from Russia, including maybe a visit to their factories, to make the consumers get the real feeling of the brand and a rich brand experience, thereby, bringing them closer to the brand and gaining their trust and loyalty toward it."

Dearly departed:
What ever happened to The Breakfast Club?
Emilio Estevez / Andrew Clark
He followed up with the Brat Pack vehicle St Elmo's Fire. Then some Hollywood fodder like Young Guns and Stake-out in the late 80s. And fades. Two momentary re-emergences: in 2006 when he wrote and directed the RFK movie Bobby and then again when he directed his dad in the low key The Way in 2010. The Breakfast Club was his finest moment. In latter years he hooked up with Macedonian model Sonja Magdevski and they grew pinot noir grapes together in their very own Malibu vineyard.
Anthony Michael Hall / Brian Johnson
Follows up with another (inferior) John Hughes – Weird Science. Then it's death by TV, with just occasional small movie re-appearances such as The Dark Knight and Foxcatcher. He never married.
Judd Nelson / John Bender
The same Brat Pack move – St Elmo's Fire. Transformers in 1986. Then a descent into TV movie hell and Stuff You've Never Heard Of. It was his finest moment too, untranscendable.
Molly Ringwald / Claire Standish
A worthy John Hughes follow-up in Pretty in Pink. Then mostly TV mush. In 2013 she published a young-adult novel, When It Happens to You, and released a jazz record, Except Sometimes, on which the final track is a cover of Don't You (Forget About Me), the Simple Minds' theme tune for TBC. She's had 3 children.
Ally Sheedy / Allison Reynolds
Ditto regarding St Elmo's Fire. Then John Badham's Short Circuit. Then movies you've never heard of and some telly. High Art in 1998 was by all accounts a notable exception. In the 1990s she was treated for sleeping pill addiction. She moved home to New York and teaches high school kids acting stuff.
It was all their finest moment and the stuff of our hopes and dreams.
The Oscars: AG v Academy
I'm starting a movie project later this morning for Channel 4 /All 4 short form so what better way to get in the mood than comparing my votes for the British Academy Awards (BAFTAs) with the actual winners tonight for the American Academy Awards (Oscars). While I'm at it, I'm going to do head-to-head on the (acting) categories which are artificially split into genders – will they combine these one day or do a head-to-head given there's no physical difference between the sexes in this regard?

4 reasons to go see Grandma
Spent this moist, sunless afternoon watching the brilliant 'Grandma', the best awards season movie I have seen to date, a welcome blast of old school American indie cinema. After the screening I had a quick chat with both the lead actress Lily Tomlin (Nashville, All of Me, Short Cuts) and the director/writer Paul Weitz (About a Boy, Antz, American Pie). During the Q&A I asked Paul about the source of the story – was it the issue (abortion)? the characters? or other? He said it started from the notion of a young woman without enough money to pay for the abortion she feels she urgently needs. Its treatment of the theme of abortion is refreshingly less conservative than the likes of the too mannered 'Juno'.
1. Lily Tomlin – who gives a feisty performance as Elle, a lesbian grandma who is there when her grand-daughter really needs her. Tomlin (76) has been in a relationship with her female partner, Jane, for over 40 years. Elle's relationship and grieving for her recently deceased partner, Violet, is a deeply moving absence at the heart of the movie. Tomlin's face is compelling to watch, unique and very particular.
2. Julia Garner – plays Sage, the grand-daughter. She is absolutely captivating on screen, with something of the 40s/50s Hollywood studio star about her (a bit of Marilyn Monroe, perhaps a touch of Veronica Lake, that kind of vibe). She is known for The Perks of Being a Wallflower (a favourite of my young nephew Jake who has impeccable film taste) and Martha Marcy May Marlene. The chemistry between her and Tomlin couldn't be more perfect.
3. Paul Weitz – who wrote the excellent screenplay, really nuanced and fresh. 'Grandma' makes an interesting contrast to 'Carol' – another 'lesbian movie' currently doing the rounds – where, despite exemplary acting, the story is unsurprising and strangely linear.
4. The Indie Spirit – Weitz made this outstanding movie for $600,000 and shot it in 19 days. As a result he was under little pressure and the movie has a real lightness of touch and creative economy. He got the cash from a Greek benefactor and then Sony Classics picked up the finished film in the wake of Sundance.
4 things I talked to Lily Tomlin about
- The joy of being a grand-parent, what a lovely relationship the grand-parent/grand-child one is, how much I'm looking forward to being one (PG, as my grandma would have said)
- Her grumpy grandpa and inspiring grandma in Kentucky
- Being born in Detroit, the city-country mix; Detroit: Requiem for a City (which she hasn't seen yet), Julien Temple, The Sex Pistols
- That my grandpa, Ian Harris, would have been 100 last week; how special a man he was.
4 things I talked to Paul Weitz about
- American indie films
- Me & Earl & the Dying Girl
- The abortion clinic shooting this week in the USA, how safe he is talking about Grandma in America, particularly the South
- Treadmill desks (as featured in the film), the office he shares with his brother, Chris (screenwriter & producer: The Golden Compass, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, American Pie), Chris's treadmill desk.

[DISCUSS] Removing relative paths from metadata
Keith Turner
2014-07-22, 16:51
Had some discussion w/ Dave Marion about the need to drop relatavie paths
from internal metadata. From a user standpoint the requirement to possibly
configure instance.dfs.uri and instance.dfs.dir if they might have relative
paths is confusing over the long term. Also it places more of a
maintenance burden on us if we need to ensure all bug fixes and new
features work properly w/ relative paths.
What are our options and what should the timeline be? We could require the
user to do something to remove all relative paths before before starting
1.7.0 for example.
Some of the things we discussed
* Provide a utility to rewrite all relative paths
* Rework the volume replacement code to work w/ relative paths
A stand alone utility is tricky. Don't want to modify tablet metadata if
the table is loaded. Thats why the volume replacement code has the tablets
themselves do the replacement.
I like the idea of reworking the volume replacement code, but I do not like
the idea of it happening automatically (like the first time 1.6.2 is
started). Could possibly have a boolean config
instance.volume.replaceRelative. When this is set, as tablets are loaded
and when the GC starts relative paths would be replaced using current
instance.dfs.* config or hdfs config.
Still uncertain about the best solution. Looking for the course of least
user confusion and least maintenance. I think
instance.volume.replaceRelative is a bit confusing from a user perspective.
What other options are there to solve this problem? Any issue w/ the
2014-07-22, 20:54
I'd personally like to have instance.dfs.uri and instance.dfs.dir gone as
soon as possible (1.7.0 and later), and I wouldn't want to keep around code
that continues to work with relative paths at all, so given the two
options, a utility seems the better of the two, because the only code that
deals with them would be inside the utility.
Some of us were in favor of automatically re-writing all relative paths
during the upgrade to 1.6.0, so that once it was fully up and running, all
relative paths would be gone. So, I would not be opposed to automatically
doing that in a future 1.6.x upgrade. I'm not a fan of the boolean config,
because I think it should be transparent to the user and there's not really
a need to expose internal metadata details to users. However, even if we
went with this route, we'd still want to support a direct upgrade from
1.6.0 (and any other 1.6.x version that didn't force absolute paths), so a
utility would still be needed.

I do not want to see anything get re-written between a 1.6.1 system going
down and a 1.6.2 system coming up. We have a wire compatibility promise
amongst the double-dot releases, and parts moving around really make me
nervous. I think it's just too big of a change.
I have no problem with rewriting anything in the internals between 1.6.x
and 1.7.0 (or 2.0.0). Based on experience, it will be a lot harder to
implement as a stand-alone utility, but I do not have strong preferences on
stand-alone or part of the upgrade process.

Are you concerned about the case where someone starts 1.6.2 and then needs
to roll back to 1.6.1 because of a bug in 1.6.2? Replacing relative paths
with absolute paths would not prevent 1.6.1 from running, because 1.6.1 can
understand absolute paths.
if we do defer this to 1.7.0, then we can mitigate the risk of relative
paths causing unexpected bugs by upgrading from 1.5 to 1.7 and exercising
many features.

One thing thats really screwy about the proposal to do this in 1.6.2 (and
completely drop support for relative paths in 1.7.0), is that you have to
run 1.6.2 before you can upgrade to 1.7.0. This is something
Christopher pointed out in an offline discussion yesterday. Is this the
concern you had? This may be the biggest reason not to do it. I think in
practice most production users will end up on later bug fix versions of
1.6.0 anyway. No one runs 1.4.0 or 1.4.1 anymore. But not sure if we can
count on that. If 1.6.1 is stable and works for a user, they may just
stick with it.

As long as you can roll back, then I think it's fine. I also have an

I think you're right, that there's no risk to wire compatibility in this
issue, and the data version wouldn't change in any way, so rollback should
be fine, too. The discussion here is simply a discussion of when/how to
accelerate a metadata upgrade that was already in place in 1.6.0, but did
so gradually in 1.6.0. The question at the heart of the matter here is:
when can we safely write code that no longer has to have special
considerations for relative paths written from older versions?

Several types of science projects involve small windmills. Generally, the smaller the windmill, the easier it will be to complete and assemble. The disadvantage of using overly small windmills is that the turbine may not be high enough to catch much wind, unless the windmill is in a very open area. The projects below all assume access to a small windmill under 20 feet high.

Generate Electrical Power
Whether for immediate use or storage, harnessing the power of wind to create electricity is a growing practice the world over. Wind power can emanate from a 12-inch-high windmill or a 100-foot behemoth turbine. To perform this physics experiment, you will need a motor with a permanent manet, electrical wiring and a blocking diode. If you plan on storing the power, you will also need a battery bank. Measure the power coming from the windmill with a voltmeter, and compare it to the speed of the blades and rotor, which you can measure with a strobe light.
Aerate a Pond
Good oxygen content is important to the health of any body of water, and to the creatures living in it. Windmills can mechanically drive an air compressor, pumping air into a pond or lake near the ground level. A windmill-based chemistry project calls for access to a mechanical air compressor and a gearbox to attach to your windmill. As the turbine spins, the gearbox operates the diaphragm of the compressor, forcing air down a tube and into the water. Over time, measure the oxidation of the water using a dissolved oxygen meter.
Pump Groundwater
A physics experiment with applications in civil engineering, the groundwater experiment provides an opportunity to use a windmill to draw water from wells. You will again use a gearbox to raise and lower a crankshaft with a one-way valve on the end. When lowering, the valve is open, and plunges into the water. When rising, the valve closes, drawing the water up the shaft with it. Using a strobe light to measure the speed of the windmill rotor and blades, record how much water is gathered using different diameter pipes. Determine what is more efficient way to draw water vertically up a pipe.
Blade Pitch Effects
In many commercial windmills, the blades have a variable pitch. This allows the angle of the blade to change, relative to the oncoming wind. To see the effects of blade pitch on your windmill, measure the speed of the blades and rotors using a strobe light. Keep track of wind speed during your measurements using an anemometer. Change the pitch of your blades, then repeat the experiment when the wind is the same speed and compare your results. This physics experiment measures the effects of air on differently angled air foils.

The government today said it is planning 10 per cent stake sale in NMDC by mid-December, which could fetch the exchequer about Rs 7,500 crore.
"NMDC disinvestment is likely by mid-December. We hope to raise Rs 7,500 crore via 10 percent share sale in it," Steel Secretary D R S Chaudhary said on the sidelines of inaugural function of steel pavellion in the India International Trade Fair here.
The Finance Ministry last week had said it is looking at divesting stakes in three PSUs-- Hindustan Copper , NMDC and Oil India by end December, which may fetch Rs 12,000 crore to the exchequer.
Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma said the process of NMDC disinvestment has already begun and roadshows were being organised.
Earlier this month, the government appointed leading law firm ALMT Legal, Advocates & Solicitors as legal adviser for selling its 10 percent stake in the country's largest iron ore miner.
The government has also appointed Citigroup Global Markets India, Goldman Sachs (India) Securities, DSP Merrill Lynch (all Mumbai based), Enam Securities and ICICI Securities (Delhi based) as Merchant Bankers for the stake sale.
The stake sale will take place through "Offer for Sale by promoters through the stock exchanges" (OFS) method. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) had on October 25 cleared sale of about 39 crore equity of NMDC of face value of Rs 1 each through the OFS route.
At present, the government holds 90 percent stake in the National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC). As of March 31, 2012, the paid up equity capital of NMDC stood at Rs 396.47 crore.
After disinvestment through the OFS mode, the government holding in the entity will come down to 80 percent. NMDC has reported a nearly 15 percent decline in its net profit at Rs 1,678.62 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, largely due to lower production and fall in sales. NMDC, under administrative control of Ministry of Steel, is primarily engaged in the business of iron ore mining.
But it has also been expanding its activities into production of steel and other value added products. It operates two mining complexes in Chhattisgarh and one in Karnataka. Although government had earlier proposed stake sale in NMDC, it postponed the decision due to poor market conditions.
The government plans to raise Rs 30,000 crore from disinvestment during the current fiscal. However, it has not been able to come out with any public issue during the first seven months of the fiscal.
Due to uncertain market conditions, the government in the last fiscal could raise only Rs 14,000 crore from disinvestment against the target of Rs 40,000 crore.
Facing year-long delay, the Rs 18,000 crore integr

I'm a mature, responsible and capable individual who loves taking care of children and ensuring they have a safe, fun and educational time. I keep boundaries with children and am very comfortable asserting authority in a respectful and healthy way. With an imaginative mind and great sense of fun, I can think of countless ways to keep a child entertained. I have a younger brother (9.5 years younger) who I've helped take care of over the years. As a current university student (studying a bachelor of music at ECU) I am available to work on a casual basis outside of university hours. I recently acquired a first aid certificate and intend to renew it as soon as possible. My other skills include food preparation/cooking, knowledge about food and nutrition, singing, acting, reading/storytelling, arts and crafts, basic sports, helping a child brush their teeth, household chores and putting a child to bed.

Hi, Im a 19 year old university student studying a Bachelor of Law at Notre Dame. I graduated from St Hilda's Anglican Girls School in 2010. I have a lot of experience in nannying and babysitting for children all ages. I love having fun with the kids, but still find a responsible balance with work and play. Im caring, friendly and very easy to get along with. When nannying i find the most important factor is the relationship with the kids. To them i want to be a friend, someone they feel very comfortable with. In the past this has not been a problem, as we have always become good buddies.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Chopinyyz from Great Fit I didn't realize they are made with elastic built into the waist band so they fit perfectly! Delivery was seamless!

Rated 4 out of 5 by JohnOutWest from Nice look, good quality, versatile. I bought two pairs of these last spring. I saw they were on sale, so bought four more pairs, one in each colour. As someone who could stand to lose a few pounds, I like how flexible the waistband is. After a tough weekend of watching football and eating chips, my pants will still close. They have a nice cut, with a modern taper at the ankles. As you can tell, I'm pretty happy with these pants. After just six months, my first two pairs are starting to fade a little bit already. That seems a bit quick to me, but I don't know that it's any better or worse than comparable products. Washable, resilient, and they seem to resist wrinkling. I roll up a pair to stuff into my bike pannier to ride into work, and they still look just fine when I get there.

California Pelican's Bent Beak Bent No More Thanks to First Emergency Surgery
The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach is cheering the success of the first surgery to repair the bent beak of an American White Pelican whose jaw was out of alignment.
When the call came in about "Nigel," as the Pelican has been nicknamed, it had lost weight, its wing was tangled in fishing line and lure, and his pouch had been ripped by a fishing hook.
Veterinary surgeon Marcos Unis of the VCA All-Care Animal Referral Center was brought in to help, and it was decided surgery was necessary Sunday.
Through a procedure never tried before, Unis realigned Nigel's jaw with acrylic cement and stainless-steel, surgical bone screws.

Normally, a pelican in such sorry shape would have been put down, Unis confided to ABC News. Now, Nigel's back to eating up to 10 pounds. of fish a day, and Unis hopes to use the procedure on other birds.
The veterinary surgeon added that if people were more careful about disposing of fishing lines, such procedures would not be necessary.

My First Book Signing!!
I've never done anything like this as my anxiety/panic disorder which is a common condition for people with Aspergers to also suffer from (though by no means do all). But I was determined to go. I took an anxiety pill before I went and then I worried the whole way there that when I went up to the table and said my name "Nicola" (which is not that common) that she would recognize me, as we have had a few emails back and forth when I originally published my review of her book and I mentioned I'd be going to this signing. So I was hoping she wouldn't recognize my name but kind of dreading that she probably would so anyway this is where the mind of an Aspergers person goes frantic. It's hard to describe and I won't try ... but I was determined to go.
So I got there and walked around a bit, noticed she was there and when I saw her sitting down at the table, I took a gulp and headed on over plus I had decided that if she recognized me I would shake her hand. (I don't shake hands with anyone except my priest at church and occasionally people in church when we give the sign of peace to each other.) Anyway I walk up to the table hoping when she asks my name, "Nicola" will not ring any bells for her but instead as soon as I get near the table she looks at me and says "Are you Nicola? (I nod my head) I recognize you from your picture on the internet!" We shake hands! Then she starts thanking me for posting my review "all over the internet". I managed to look in the general direction of her face, I think, and blabbered and flustered some words, I'm not sure what I said, though I did say I loved the book and I answered questions she asked me. But "whew" it was pretty nerve wracking while it was happening but really awesomely cool when it was over.
This is what she wrote: For Nicola. Thanks for reading & for posting your lovely review all over the internet. Best Cathy Buchanan.

Good for you for going! I was so lucky to be able to participate in her book tour a month or so ago, and she and her assistant were wonderful to communicate with through e-mail, so it's nice that you got to meet her in person!ReplyDelete
Glad you ended up going! I just started going to author signings recently, and they can be quite fun, though I totally get fangirlish and speechless when I actually get up there to hand them the books I want signed, haha. :)ReplyDelete
Authors that I really really want to meet never come here! I am glad it all turned out well in the end. :)ReplyDelete
I have anxiety and panic issues, too, so I totally understand how you were feeling. I get that way, too. You should've seen me at BEA! But I'm glad that you went anyway and had a great experience. That's wonderful!ReplyDelete

Jonita - Thanks. I agree she is wonderful to email with!ReplyDelete
Court - Thanks. Glad to hear you've started going to meet author's too. It is fun to be a fangirl!
Kailana - Thanks. Poor you, though. Maybe you can schedule your holidays around author signings :-)
Anna - Thanks. A fellow panic sufferer, I didn't know; it's nice to know you can relate. I cannot imagine going to something like BEA. Good for you!
Nicola, I am so proud of you for facing your anxiety and going anyway. This is a huge step!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad that it was a good experience for you! You go girl!!
YAY! I'm so glad this event turned out to be a great experience! Good for you, Nicola. (I knew she was going to recognize you, so I was holding my breathe while I was reading your post.)ReplyDelete
Hi Nicola,ReplyDelete
I just came across this because of John Mutford's recent post about meeting authors. Thanks for persevering. I am honoured.
I, too, have anxiety and panic attacks. So, this is really heartwarming to read. Good on you!ReplyDelete
I posted a link to this on my facebook page. You will see you have struck a chord.ReplyDelete
Aw, thanks Cathy! Thanks for helping spread the reality of anxiety/panic disorders!ReplyDelete

Weather: sunny and dry, 19-25C Air, 22-42C Track
Barcelona (ES). Working on the new aerodynamic package of the BMW Sauber F1.09 was the main focus for the BMW Sauber F1 Team during the first two practice sessions of the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. The F1.09 has been modified in several areas. The front nose, the side pods and the rear wing are completely new, while the front wing, the engine cover and the diffuser have been modified. So it could concentrate totally on the work with the new aero package, the BMW Sauber F1 Team decided not to use KERS in Barcelona.
Robert Kubica:
BMW Sauber F1.09-03 / BMW P86/9
1st Free Practice: 3rd, 1:22.221 min / 2nd Free Practice: 16th, 1:22.948 min
"Today was a special Friday because we have a lot of new aerodynamic parts on the car. We spent quite some time working on the set-up and tried different things. We now have to analyse the data so we can exploit the potential of the car to its maximum. In addition, as usual on the Friday, we compared the two tyre compounds, but it was very soon obvious the option specification gives better performance."
Nick Heidfeld:
BMW Sauber F1.09-06 / BMW P86/9
1st Free Practice: 4th, 1:22.658 min / 2nd Free Practice: 17th, 1:23.173 min
"Unfortunately I lost some time this morning when we had a couple of problems during the first free practice session. Only at the end was I able to work properly on the programme. That was a shame because with such a new package and, for me, driving the car for the first time without the KERS, track time is especially important. Considering the small amount of mileage from the morning, we made quite good progress when preparing the car for the second session, and I think there is room for more improvement."
Willy Rampf (Head of Engineering):
"We have come to Barcelona with a comprehensive aerodynamic package. To find a basic set-up was today's main task. A first evaluation of the aero data shows we made a step forward. Now we are curious about the first real comparison in Saturday's qualifying to see where we really stand in relation to the competitors. Because of a brake problem Nick completed less laps in the morning than planned. As usual we concentrated on race preparation."
