Agencies' "gray beards," their most experienced procurement employees, are handling a large portion of the workload while teaching the newcomers about the intricacies of the contracting process, acquisition experts say.
But the majority of contracting officers — those gray beards — will soon reach retirement age. Figures say an estimated 54 percent will be eligible by 2012. That makes midcareer employees who have experience in the field critical as the retirements increase in the coming years.
Although retirements have hovered below anticipated numbers, the workforce's turnover has continued at a steady pace, averaging a 7.8 percent since 2000.
Considering that, the Federal Acquisition Institute said, among other things, the government needs to retain skilled employees through "care and feeding" — to keep the midcareer employees and their skills in the agency.
How do you care for and feed your midcareer employees? Are there ways to make them enjoy their jobs at your agency so that even a promotion at another agency won't seem as inviting as staying where they are?

How do you keep mid-career aquisition employees? (1) give pay incentives (to stay)for those that maybe thinking of retiring or moving on; (2) provide training opportunities for employees that want to move up or into the field but do not have a degree (i.e. give them the necessary training to qualify); (3) keep the remaining employees in the loop of communication so they still feel they are a valued employee. A happy employee is a productive employee.
Dear "Not yet being all you can be":You got your answer. Get the degree. Not all is fair in life. You may be very good, but if a degree is the requirement, why not get on with it and get it over with?
I have to agree with "Just Me". I'm looking for a 14, but with a MBA, it's even hard to get into the financial series, let alone Budget Analyst stuff. They have pidgeon holed serious professionals while requiring "business" classes and limiting the KSA's so it is literally impossible to change fields, hence, why shouldn't I go to private industry, it would be closer to home and I'd save gas...Why we tried this Level 3 Certification stuff and offended seasoned contracting professionals when we needed more well rounded people to keep them happy and capable of moving around, I don't know. Very short sighted.
I'm a "mid-career" acquisition employee, and I don't know anyone who wouldn't get out now if they could. It's high stress and low recognition. Problem is, once you're among the higher grades, it's very hard to change career paths - no "time in grade" or ability to meet the KSAOs for any other fields. On the flip side, think of all the folks NOT in procurement who would gladly jump ship to help us out, but can't for those same reasons! If the government would make it easier to change career paths, think of all the people who would be in fields because they wanted to be there, not because "the system" got them stuck there until retirement.
There is very likely nothing more to do other than deal with the current policy of administration of employees. As Gen. Ernest J. Harrell said during the whirlwind deconstruction of the Corps of Engineers European Division in February 1990 (right after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the moritorium on construction), "It seems totally inconsistant that we tell this loyal and committed group of employees that their reward for successfully achieving U.S. and free world objectives is a RIF notice.

Citation: Bock, C., Parker, P., Cook, A., Gottwald, T.R. 2006. The decline in quantity of bacteria of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv citri dispersed from canker-infected citrus plants during wind/rain events. Phytopathology. 96(6): Supplement S13. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Background and objectives. Citrus canker (caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, Xac) is an important disease of citrus in several tropical and sub-tropical citrus growing regions. Canker damaged trees produce less yield and the blemished fruit is unfit for fresh sale, so processing becomes the only option. In several afflicted areas the pathogen is under strict eradication, including in Florida. All trees deemed to have been exposed to inoculum (within 1900 ft of an infected tree) are removed (2). However, little is known about the effect of wind on the biological and physical processes of dispersal and infection of Xac (1). The objective of this study was to investigate characteristics of dispersal of Xac bacteria downwind from canker infected plants. Materials and Methods. The effect of wind speed and the characteristics of the downwind dispersal plume of bacteria in wind-blown splash were examined. Wind was simulated using a fan, and spray was generated using a grid of overhead sprayer nozzles above canker-infected plants. Panel and funnel samplers were used to collect the rain splash, and rainfall and wind speed were monitored (3). The bacteria counts were related to wind speeds using regression analysis and ANOVA. Results and Discussion. Greater total quantities of bacteria were collected downwind from infected plants at higher wind speeds. In one experiment the number of bacteria collected by panel samplers at 2 m from the inoculum source was 15833 at 5 ms-1 wind speed and 36758 at 18 ms-1. The total number of Xac bacteria sampled with no wind was 31638, and at 18 ms-1 was 138080, illustrating how wind enhances the dispersal of Xac in rains splash from the foliage of a citrus canopy. The plume of dispersed canker downwind in this simulated system showed that as wind speed increased the plume of bacteria was dispersed further and greater quantities of bacteria were dispersed at greater heights. Higher wind speeds increased the quantity of Xac bacteria dispersed in rain splash away from infected trees. Storm events with high winds are a common occurrence in Florida and could result in enhanced dispersal of Xac bacteria from infected plants. We are currently extending the scope of these studies in natural wind/rain events and in a wind tunnel/rain generating facility at the USDA.

Chateau Guiraud Sauternes 2005
Other Dessert from Sauternes, Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
#4 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2008
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Delivers lots of botrytis spice, with lemon tart and cooked apple. Full-bodied, with loads of cream and vanilla and an intense tropical fruit and honey aftertaste. Long and viscous, with a layered and beautiful spicy finish. Hard not to drink it now."
Wine Enthusiast - "Typical of the huge power of Guiraud, this is one of the richest Sauternes in 2005. The wine is rich and intense, the dry edge of botrytis just dominating the sweetness. Flavors of honey, almonds and peaches give the wine extra complexity. "
Wine & Spirits - "Seething with power, there's baritone richness to this wine's complex fruit, a deeper tone to the surface of honey and citrus. It feels clean, fresh and bright, the structure holding the wine's complexity tight for now, waiting to release it with age."
The Wine Advocate - "Tasted as part of a vertical held at the chateau. The 2005 Guiraud has a slightly more reduced bouquet compared to the 2004, with dried honey, marmalade and just a hint of petrol emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry, crisp acidity, touches of beeswax and almond defining the harmonious waxy textured finish. This needs another two or three years in the cellar, but it should evolve into a delectable Sauternes. Drink 2016 -2030."
Connoisseurs' Guide - "No quibbles here. This is a concentrated, fairly complex offering whose pear syrup, pineapple, roasted nuts, coconutty aromas may be the slightest bit unusual but are every bit inviting. Juicy and rich in flavor with more than a touch of honey noted, the wine has plenty of underlying acidity that helps make its youthfully sugary flavors attractive even now but which also guarantees that this lush wine has a second decade and possibly more in its future."
International Wine Cellar - "Full golden-yellow. Orange oil, clove, ginger, mint and minerals on the perfumed, vibrant noise. Superrich but juicy and vibrant, with an exotic hint to the fresh apricot and peach flavors. This boasts an exhilarating sugar/acid balance and finishes with terrific life and grip.
Rating: 92(+?)"

Chateau Guiraud Winery
Château Guirard, located in the heart of the commune of Sauternes, has a 100-hectare vineyard in a single block. The vines are planted around the cellars and the château. The Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes ripen very early at Guiraud and undergo tremendous natural concentration due to the effects of "noble rot" (botrytis).
The harvest takes place in several waves and the grapes are literally picked one by one. This process is not only risky, but accounts for very low yields. It nevertheless results in rich, complex wines.
The quality of Château Guiraud's terroir earned its classification as a First Growth in 1855. The Société Civile Agricole du Château Guiraud is managed by Xavier Planty. View all Chateau Guiraud Wines
About Sauternes and BarsacView a map of Sauternes and Barsac wineries (saw-TURN & BAR-sak)
Liquid Gold
The regions of Sauternes & Barsac are both located southeast of Graves, almost directly south of St-Émilion, and hug the Garonne River as it curves. Both areas are dedicated to producing sweet, white wines. The rains, the mists, the humidity and the climate, all help foster the necessary mold that leads to the unfortified, but lusciously sweet wines produced there.
Notable Facts
Semillon is the primary grape here as it takes well to bortrytis, also known as "noble rot." Sauvignon Blanc is used in the blend to add acidity to the richer, thicker Semillon. The process for making the sweet wines of Sauternes and Barsac is long, labored and costly. After it has reached maximum ripeness, the Semillon grapes are left on the vine until they are infected with botrytis. This helpful mold then shrivels the grapes, concentrating the sugars but maintaining the acids. Weather is not always agreeable and berries must be picked at just the right moment, all by hand. The grapes yield less juice than dry wines, due to their shriveled and concentrated state. Some houses, like the famed Chateau d'Yquem, will not make a wine in a less-than-perfect year. All these factors lead to highly prized, and often expensive, wine. However, the taste is well worth it. In the palate the wines of Sauternes & Barsac are luscious and sweet, yet with the balanced acidity to keep them from being too cloying or candied.Wines with the Sauternes AC must be sweet - dry wines are labeled under the Graves or Bordeaux AC. Barsac wines may be labeled either Barsac AC or Sauternes AC. Typically, Barsac wines are a little lighter in body and less intense than Sauternes.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Hitler's name allowed on Wisconsin petition to recall Guv
As long as it is properly dated and Hitler's address is in Winsconsin, same
with Mickey Mouse.
Why not. Millions of dead people have voted DEM since at least the Kennedy
Nixon election and even the Sauerbrey election for Guv here so why not
allow Hitler to vote.
It would be the same as the unions forcing all their members to vote DEM
every election.
In the last election ACORN got the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys to vote
in 22 state elections so again, why not Hitler.
HITLER is synonimous with DEMs forcing OBAMA CARE down our throats when
the country didn't want it. Over 55% favor repeal.
In a recall effort, a petition signed by "Adolf Hitler" will be valid; a signature of "Mickey Mouse"
will be valid -- and this is being allowed! The name of this board is The Government Accountability
Board, and all they're doing here is passing the buck.

Re: Hitler's name allowed on Wisconsin petition to recall Guv
Saying Hitler is synonymous with democrats is probably one of the more insulting things I've ever heard, and I'm a republican.Follow me on twitter at @dandrews66
Re: Hitler's name allowed on Wisconsin petition to recall Guv
I don't know anything about this topic
But I'm interested in the voter suppresion part in the link
A quick google gets me
Much of the attention on voter suppression in 2011 has focused on a series of voter identification laws, requiring people to present a valid state-issued photo identification in order to cast their votes.
What happens presently?
And If I've ruined this thread feel free to get lost
Re: Hitler's name allowed on Wisconsin petition to recall Guv
Nope. The dopes don't need no ID.
Great post Irish. You're more informed than 99% of the American public,
which ain't saying much-lol.
BTW, the PIIGS are almost off the clift - right? The entire EU is collasping.
I insulted the DEMs? REad the link. The DEMs are the ones putting Hitler's
name on the petition and voted dead people for decades.
These signatures will be accepted unless they are challenged -- which is very handy,
of course, since it means all the unions and other Democrats have to do is flood the system
with so many phony signatures that there's neither the time nor manpower to challenge them all.
And what do you call forcing legislation down a country's throat that it didn't want?
Forcing socialism down a country's throat it didn't want?
Refusing to cut spending when the country wants it cut not to mention the deficit.
Dems just killed the GOPs bill to balance the budget. Surprise, surprise.
That's what Hitler did and I was being nice saying that. I could have said Hitler and
Stalin and Kohiney and Hanibal and Gangas Kahn all members of the most ruthless
leaders in history list just like FDR putting the entire freaking pacific fleet in one spot for the
Japs to kill.
I didn't cause I was being nice.

Re: Hitler's name allowed on Wisconsin petition to recall Guv
Isn't it funny how from state to state the rules on petitions differ? Remember how hard opponents to the petition to repeal in-state tuition for illegal aliens in Maryland looked for technical errors in signatures?
Re: Hitler's name allowed on Wisconsin petition to recall Guv
The DEMs are the ones with the petition to begin with, them and the unions.
Like Rush says, all they have to do is flood the system with thousands of phony names
to tie it up. Also, as I stated, they have used dead people to vote for years like in
the Kennedy election where Mayor Daly in Chicago sent teams out to grave yards copying
names off head stones for votes. That election was so close, Nixon could have ordered a re-count
like Gore but he didn't want to put the country thru what Gore did tying the election
up for months.
It sure ain't the GOPs because they don't want the petition to begin with. Their
man is the one the unions and DEMs are trying to recall.
I also provided a link where ACORN has commited voting fraud by sending phony names
on ballots of many states that included the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys. In the
last election their Feds even raided their offices.
Nevada was one of the states, the same state where voting machines turned out ballots
with only Reid's name on it in the last election.
Now that's something the Nazis would do.
Just saying, ya know?

Re: Hitler's name allowed on Wisconsin petition to recall Guv
Re: Hitler's name allowed on Wisconsin petition to recall Guv
Another Faux Noise "low information voter" moment. And of course, the low information voter bought it hook, line and sinker.
Fox News reporter Eric Shawn told viewers on Thursday that signatures from Mickey Mouse and Adolf Hitler were allegedly on petitions in Wisconsin in the recall for Governor Scott Walker. Fun little story with the potential to go viral? Absolutely. True? Not so much.
In fact, the original story that Shawn evidently built his report off of is about a strictly hypothetical situation discussed by members of the Wisconsins Government Accountability Board who were asked what would happen if someone signed the petition as Mickey Mouse. Theres been no actual allegation that anyone actually signed the petition against Walker that way.
The absurd thing about this story is the inability of the Fox viewer to critically think their way through proposition. Look at it this way...If opposition to Walker really wanted to slant the vote in their favor via false signatures, why would they use names such as Mickey Mouse and Hitler and not names like Jim Smith or Sally Brown?
Remember that Fox viewers recently were shown to be less aware of political facts than folks that watch no news at all. I think this story shows just that truth. Good work Trap. Again...good thing you are not an editor.
To the world of true news facts:
Over 507,000 signatures have been gathered for the recall effort in the first month. The amount required is 540,208. The goal of the campaign is 720,000, and the deadline for submitting signatures is Jan. 17.
Merry Christmas Scott Walker!

After suffering three years of isolation, alleged torture and constitutionally suspect detainment, Jose Padilla has been convicted of terrorism conspiracy charges. The government's key piece of evidence was an al-Qaida application, which Padilla was accused of filling out in Arabic, using an alias.
One of his lawyers had this to say about the proceedings: "In this case, you will see how in the absence of hard evidence, a suspicion can be fueled by fear, nourished by prejudice and directed by politics into a criminal prosecution."
New York Times:
Mr. Padilla's extraordinary legal journey began in May 2002, when he was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport and taken into military custody. Attorney General John Ashcroft announced Mr. Padilla's capture a month later in a special news conference from Moscow, saying that an "unfolding terrorist plot to attack the United States by exploding a radioactive dirty bomb" had been disrupted, an attack with the potential to cause "mass death and injury."
He was held in isolation on a military brig in South Carolina for more than three years, and was transferred to civilian custody last year only after the Supreme Court considered taking up the case. Mr. Padilla's lawyers tried in vain to have him found incompetent to stand trial on grounds that he was tortured in the brig. The government said he was never mistreated.
The dirty bomb allegations that made Mr. Padilla a high-profile terror suspect in 2002 were not part of the case here. Instead, Mr. Padilla and two co-defendants of Arab descent were charged with conspiring to murder, kidnap and maim people overseas.
Padilla's isolation included sound and vision deprivation.

stopped in the cape on the way home from Texas. did not know this was a brewery, my wife and I were going to minglewood and found out no food there so we stopped in here, had pizza the spinach and bacon very good for the I had the pale ale and my wife the breakfast stout both were good. the bartender told us they have been open since march 17th. they had 3 other beers on tap
csaso (171) Missouri | February 13, 2013
UPDATE - As of 2/3/13, this place is now CLOSED! Looks like a better place than it really is. Food is OK. Not too many beer choices, 4 or 5 maybe. The beer itself is average at best. For Cape its an all right place I guess, but there are a lot better places in a lot of other Missouri towns.

I grew up in Cape and went to college there so Buckners was the local spot I used to frequent quite a bit and also one of my first exposures to different craft beers. The restaurant is huge and overlooks the river and raintracks and is located in the heart of downtown Cape so its a nice place to check out for out of towners. The food is well above average and very reasonably priced. Every beer Ive had from them is respectable for a small craft brewery and they typically have 6-8 options to choose from. Cape is a college town so thus Buckners staff is largely college kids which means service will vary greatly depending on who is working when you visit.
Bif (121) St. Charles, Missouri | May 11, 2012
Located in downtown district next to the Mississippi River. Its a large place in what used to be a department store. The "brewery" is to your right as your enter then there is a large bar. In the back there is seating that overlooks the river. They normally have 7-8 beers on tap, a couple are usually seasonal. The beers we had we quite decent but nothing outstanding. But considering where you are, it was quite good. The menu seem quite good, from "pub grub" to regular meals with a daily special or two thrown in. My only complaint was how slow the service was.
Narnad (19) Crystal Lake, Illinois | July 13, 2009
Was here the first week in July 2009 for lunch. The place is big with lots of seating as booths or tables. The old department store flooring still resides in the building. A great view of the river can be seen from the east side where they typically seat patrons who are eating. Service was okay but they were just a bit slow for only having a few people in there. Food was okay. I had the blackened catfish and it was slightly burned but the seasoning was great and the portion was decent. The chicken strips that my grandmother in-law and son had were nice big chunks of chicken breast batter, not the pre-processed junk. Beers were kind of a disappointment because they seemed to be skimping on the malt to lower the gravities way to low (or save money). If they had just a bit more body they would be a ton better. IPA was by far the best of the ones they had on tap. It was neat to see the brewer there working as we were eating. My son loved looking at the levy, huge barges going by and the trains outside the window as we ate. Very easy to find. Overall a nice place to give a shot if your rolling through town.
thegreenrooster (70) St.louis, Missouri | July 3, 2006
Right on the riverfront in old town Cape. Almost skipped it since is was hard to tell if the place was open. Walking in here the look of the place is decent, lots of exposed wood and some of the tables overlook the Mississippi river which is a few feet away. Staff was distant, so much so i almost had to go back in the kitchen to have someone serve me. After they served me my pale ale and took my order is was back in the kitchen and i was left to myself at the bar as i was the sole patron on a Sunday afternoon. If I was a bastard I could have walked out of there with the register and bottles of booze they would have never known. The beer itself was decent and the fish and chips was also quite good. Good setting and cool looking old building but no real interaction with a customer. Im sure it its diferent when busy but when you hardly notice you have a customer it loses points big time.
kwoeltje (86) Manchester, Missouri | February 11, 2006
Came across this by accident. Very friendly waitress. The bartender was also very friendly and knowledgeable about beers. Menu with pizzas (homemade crust), burgers, sandwiches, steaks (I had the pizza - very good). Good beers. Ill definitely be back.

USC Men's Volleyball Falls To UC Santa Barbara
Feb. 21, 2013
Evan Licht had 13 kills, 9 digs and 4 blocks and Dylan Davis added 11 kills and 14 blocks to lead the unranked UC Santa Barbara men's volleyball team to a 25-16, 30-28, 21-25, 25-21 win over No. 9 USC in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match on Thursday (Feb. 21) at USC's Galen Center.
The Gauchos improved to 6-11 overall and 4-9 in the MPSF, while the Trojans are now 3-8 overall and in the MPSF.
UCSB had 21.5 blocks and 10 aces in the match. Davis hit .500 overall, while Kevin Donohue had 7 blocks before leaving the match late in the second set with a shoulder injury, Chad Kingi had 8 digs, Austin Kingi served 3 aces, Jake Stahl had 6 blocks and Miles Evans had 5 blocks.
For USC, Tanner Jansen had 15 kills, Joey Booth added 14 kills, Cristian Rivera had 12 kills, Josh Kirchner had 6 blocks, Henry Cassiday had 14 digs and Micah Christenson had 10 digs.
UC Santa Barbara started off with a 4-0 lead in the first set and never looked back while hitting .393 and getting 6.0 blocks. USC fought off a 24-22 deficit in the second set to send it into overtime only to have the Gauchos end it on a Trojan hitting error followed by a combo block by Davis and Jonah Seif (one of 8 blocks by UCSB in the set). USC used a 3-point scoring run in the third set to build an 8-6 advantage and held on, helped by 14 digs. UCSB, which trailed 7-2 in the fourth set, turned that set around as it forged an 18-14 lead and USC was never able to recover, hindered in part by the Gauchos' 5 aces.
USC, which was playing it fourth home match in an 8-day span, now hits the road for a pair of 7 p.m. MPSF matches next week, traveling to No. 14 Pacific on March 2 and No. 5 Stanford on March 3 in a match televised live on Pac-12 Networks.

It's weirdly painful yet helpful when successful hackers step out from the shadows and tell us how stupid we are and how they so easily shred our security. The latest episode of this long-running show occurred last week when MafiaBoy, or Michael Calce in meatspace, reminded us once again that social engineering remains the hacker's sharpest tool. ComputerWorld called it "MafiaBoy Spills the Beans."
Small businesses don't have the money to load up on expensive intrusion detection systems, but they can teach their employees to be a little more suspicious. You don't have to turn them into pit bulls, but you can request they become more protective.
Hackers call on the phone and pretend to be improving security by asking for your password to "verify" things. Don't ever tell anyone your password over the phone or via e-mail. If you're large enough to have an IT staff, train the techs to never take the lazy road and call, rather than visit, employees about security issues. Remote office employees must call the IT people themselves for any security updates, not respond to phone calls. Send them an e-mail or a text asking them to call the approved company phone number for IT support. Little details like that mean a huge security improvement.
Beware outside techs in uniforms as well. Hackers routinely dress as phone company employees by getting a shirt and hat, then waltz into businesses left and right. If you didn't call for service and a phone company employee appears, call the company and get confirmation. Don't believe the documentation he carries, because hackers fake those papers. Don't call the number the suspicious person suggests you call to check on them, because that call will be answered by another hacker.
Do you want to be safer? Allow your employees to be a little more rude to people asking questions and trying to get inside your business. Sometimes, outside service people are setting you up for an inside computer hack.

Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative
The Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI) is an international digital library project aimed at putting text and images of an estimated 500,000 recovered cuneiform tablets created from between roughly 3350 BC and the end of the pre-Christian era online.[1] Directors of the project are Robert K. Englund from University of California, Los Angeles and Jürgen Renn of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. Co-principal investigators are Jacob Dahl at Oxford University, Bertrand Lafront at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Nanterre and Émilie Pagé-Perron, University of Toronto. Preceding leadership comprised co-director Peter Damerow (1939-2011) from the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary leader Stephen J. Tinney who was co-principal investigator.[2] In 2004 Englund received the Richard W. Lyman Award from the National Humanities Center for his work on the initiative.[3]
The project began in 1998[4] but it was not until 2000 that it obtained funds for three years from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation's Digital Libraries Initiative.[1] This phase consisted of digitizing and progressively putting online the collections of the Vorderasiatisches Museum (online in 2001), the Institut Catholique de Paris (online in 2002), the Hermitage Museum and the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology (online in 2003), and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.[1] A second phase from 2004 to 2006 was federally funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, during which time it focused on new educational components and scalable access systems to the data.[1]

Administrative Structure
In the spring of 2012, the Harvard College Library developed an administrative services model that more closely resembled other large departments with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. It is defined by areas of expertise, rather than by separate buildings and collections. Human resources, development, facilities and operations, technology and communications functions were shifted to appropriate departments within the FAS and University, including Harvard University Information Technology (HUIT) and Harvard Public Affairs and Communications (HPAC), and focus centered on being user-centric, flexible, unified, decentralized in decision-making, resourceful and seamlessly integrated.
A number of administrative initiatives took shape in 2012-2013 to support the evolving needs of the HCL:
- In the spring, Harvard University Provost Alan Garber announced the appointment of Sarah Thomas as Vice President for the Harvard Libraries with overall responsibility for the Harvard Library and close collaboration with all Harvard Libraries, the Library Board, the Faculty Advisory Council and the Library Leadership Team. In early fall, Sarah Thomas was also appointed Roy E. Larsen Librarian for the FAS;
- In cooperation with FAS Dean for Administration and Finance Leslie Kirwan, the HCL closely scrutinized expenditures to identify $1.1 million in one-time spending for collections;
- Katie McGrath was hired as Director of Administration to oversee local coordination and prioritization of administrative services;
- Construction was completed on a Collaborative Learning Space and a video capture studio for Faculty of Arts and Sciences and HarvardX curricular use.

Sprint Nextel 'Powers Up' San Antonio Coverage, Capacity with More Than $12 Million Network Investment
SAN ANTONIO, Nov 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S) today announced improvements to both the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network and Nextel National Network(SM) in the San Antonio area with an investment of more than $12 million through the third quarter of 2006. These extensive upgrades are the result of adding additional wireless cell sites and equipment to the networks, delivering expanded coverage and network capacity to better serve customers in San Antonio.
In the state of Texas, Sprint has invested more than $90 million, including more than $12 million in San Antonio, in its wireless networks this year.
"Providing an excellent customer experience is Sprint's number one priority in San Antonio and wherever we offer our wide range of wireless phones, plans and features," said Mike Karageorge, area vice president of sales. "We strive to make our wireless service the best where our customers live and work."
The following is a detailed list of the local areas benefiting by these enhancements to the Sprint PCS Network:
-- Heritage, Adams Hill, Meadow Village subdivisions at Marbach and South Ellison
-- Steeplebrook subdivision in Leon Springs
-- Timberwood Park area Southeast from the intersection of Blanco Road, Borgfeld Road
The following is a detailed list of the local areas benefiting by these enhancements to the Nextel National Network(SM):
-- Fredericksburg, centered on Hwy. 290 and FM 1376
-- Gonzales, on Hwy. 90A and Church Street
-- Seguin, on Hwy. 90A heading toward Gonzales
-- Boerne, on Hwy. 46W in between IH-10 and Hwy. 16
-- Gonzales, on Hwy. 90A heading into town
-- Comfort, on Hwy. 87 in between Comfort and Fredericksburg
Sprint Expands the Sprint Power Vision Network
Sprint offers the most wireless broadband coverage of any carrier through its Power Vision(SM) Network (EV-DO), which reaches more than 170 million people nationwide, covering over 219 communities with at least a 100,000 population as well as 486 airports nationwide. The Power Vision network allows users to access audio, video and data applications with handheld and connection card devices.
Sprint is the only carrier to begin rolling out an EV-DO Revision A network and expects to cover 21 markets where more than 40 million people live and work by the end of 2006 and upgrade its entire Power Vision Network to the faster EV-DO Revision A technology by Q3 2007. The faster data rates provided by EV-DO Revision A can enable richer applications and services, such as high-speed video telephony, music on demand, video messaging, large file uploads and high performance push-to-talk capability.
Power Network Coverage Tool Provides Unique View
In October, Sprint launched its Power Network Coverage Tool to help customers view detailed coverage maps down to the street address level. By entering an address or zip code, customers can see the availability of wireless coverage and the network signal strength on the Nextel National Network(SM), Nationwide Sprint PCS Network or Sprint Power Vision Network. Customers can also view the location of recently added cell sites in many areas. The tool, available at www.sprint.com/coverage and at self-service touch-screen kiosks at hundreds of Sprint Nextel retail stores, is simple to use and helps set network coverage expectations for customers before signing up for wireless service.

TH-400 auto trans. "Vacum needs?"
With a Turbo 400 trans., running a vacum modulater, what type of vacum source is needed for proper operation?
I wish to increase line pressure under hard acceleration, as compared to low rpm's and idle situations.
Do you want 15 inches of vacum at idle, then drop to near zero at wide open throttle? or do you want the vacum to increase with wide open throttle?
I'm not real sure on what a vacum modulater does with these older automatic transmissions, or how it operates. I know on my late model cars, the computer does it all, TPS sensors, MAF's, ect...,
How do you know if a vacum modulator is working correctly?
needs direct manifold vacuum. High at idle , low at WOT.

Pope Francis/Vatican
Against the tide: the pope rallies a counterculture
VATICAN CITY — At a weekly public audience earlier this year, the pope underscored one of his characteristic themes: the countercultural implications of membership in the church.
"Belief in God makes us bearers of values that often do not coincide with the fashion and opinion of the moment, and calls on us to adopt standards and behaviors that do not belong to the common way of thinking," he said. "The Christian should not be afraid to swim against the tide to live his own faith, resisting the tendency to conform."
More recently, the pope used similar language when urging young Catholics to commit to the sacrament of marriage.
"In a culture of relativism and the ephemeral, many preach the importance of enjoying the moment," he said. "I ask you, instead, to be revolutionaries, I ask you to swim against the tide; yes, I am asking you to rebel against this culture that sees everything as temporary and that ultimately believes you are incapable of responsibility, that believes you are incapable of true love."
The first quotation is from Pope Benedict XVI, at the Vatican in January; the second from Pope Francis, in Rio de Janeiro July 28. Of the many strands of continuity between the two men's pontificates, none is clearer than their common conviction that Christian faith puts the believer at odds with the materialist "idols" of today's secular society.
On that basis alone, one might have expected these avowed countercultural leaders to attract similar degrees of hostility, or at least disdain, from the dominant culture. But, in fact, their experiences in this regard have been starkly opposed.
Throughout Pope Benedict's eight-year pontificate, secular media outlets routinely portrayed him as backward or bigoted for his defense of traditional Catholic teaching, particularly on moral questions.
By contrast, it is hard to imagine any pope today enjoying better press than Pope Francis, especially in normally unsympathetic quarters. Time magazine recently celebrated him on its cover as the "people's pope," and a blogger for Esquire, a fashion magazine dedicated to the sort of aspirational consumerism that the pope deplores, pronounced in a headline that "It's Time to Admit: Pope Francis Is Kind of Awesome."
This difference in reception is partly explicable as a matter of personal style. Retired Pope Benedict is a shy, introverted scholar, whose talks and writings, though never needlessly obscure, were formally composed and intellectually demanding, and made frequent and wide-ranging reference to the cultural heritage of the West.
Pope Francis, on the other hand, is gregarious and spontaneous, with a conversational style of preaching that draws heavily on proverbs and folk wisdom. Though he is not in any sense a media creation, his personality and manner are better suited to the age of social media, which tends to be suspicious of traditional authority and impatient with complex arguments.
Yet the strikingly different responses that the two popes have drawn from secular culture are not just a consequence of how they communicate, but also of what they have chosen to say.
Pope Benedict was most reviled when he spoke out on questions of sexual and medical ethics, invoking natural law and church teaching to deny what secular culture has come to assert as practically unlimited personal freedom.
In these areas, Pope Francis is hardly more in sync with prevailing values than his predecessor was. In 2010, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio called same-sex marriage an "anti-value and an anthropological regression," and said the immorality of abortion should be clear on scientific evidence alone, even in the absence of religious faith.
But since he became pope, he has been notably reticent on these matters. In his homily at a Vatican Mass dedicated to pro-life causes in June, Pope Francis did not refer to abortion, euthanasia or any other specific threat to life.
During his visit to Brazil, July 22-28, he said nothing about the country's recent legalization of same-sex marriage or moves to liberalize abortion, explaining to reporters on the plane back to Rome that the "church has already expressed itself perfectly on that."
When, during the same in-flight press conference, the pope cited the Catechism of the Catholic Church to denounce the marginalization of gay people, he did not also cite the catechism's statement on the immorality of homosexual acts.
Pope Francis has been more assertive and explicit when denouncing social injustice, as when he described the condition of textile workers in Bangladesh as "slave labor," or condemned "ideologies which uphold the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation" -- statements with discomfiting implications for the consumerism of rich western nations.
Yet, except for calls to greater austerity by bishops and priests, the pope has not focused his criticism on the personal lifestyles of his listeners. For instance, he has not repeated his words to an interviewer, a few months before his election, denouncing the billions wasted on cosmetics and "idolized" household pets in a world where children in underdeveloped countries starve to death.
It is hard to believe that Pope Francis, who has moved boldly and swiftly to reform the Vatican bureaucracy surrounding him, is avoiding certain topics in public merely out of fear of upsetting people. It is more plausible, and more consistent with his style of communication, that he is making overtures to those who have closed their minds and hearts to the church.
"When leaders in various fields ask me for advice, my response is always the same: dialogue, dialogue, dialogue," the pope told Brazilian political, economic and cultural leaders July 27.
"A country grows when constructive dialogue occurs between its many rich cultural components: popular culture, university culture, youth culture, artistic and technological culture, economic culture, family culture and media culture," he said.
If the pope sees the church as a counterculture, then he sees it as one necessarily in dialogue with the cultures to which it is opposed, all of them part of what he calls a great "culture of encounter." To reach out in this way follows naturally from his call that the church evangelize all those on its "existential peripheries."
The extraordinary curiosity and good will Pope Francis has elicited in his first few months could now offer the church an unprecedented opening for such a process, which, like any honest dialogue, will inevitably entail the expression of hard as well as happy truths.

Total beginner!
Meet up.
The only one I own :) An acoustic Blueridge.
I don't know.
Hmm, Santana and Esteban.
Love music! I've always wanted to play guitar. I started lessons back in '04 and couldn't keep up with them. Too frustrating! My friends who play all moved away and I couldn't find anyone to jam with after that. I look forward to meeting you guys :)

I've owned a couple of Ruger SP101's and they always seemed a bit heavy to me. This got me thinking about a Colt magnum carry which is basically the same size as their old D-frame i.e. detective special. I used to have a detective special with the shrouded barrel and didn't find it to heavy for OWB carry compared to the SP101. I know the magnum carry is a rare gun but I'm sure one can be found.
I always used a good gunbelt and holster as well but the dick special just seemed to not weight as much on my hip all day. So for those here who have owned both guns,do you feel the magnum carry is just as heavy as the Ruger or that the magnum carry pretty much weighs the same as the dick special?

Right-wing blogger tells people to "have a swing at" lawmakers "if you're willing to do the time"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From a March 24 Confederate Yankee blog post:
No matter what you think of Obamacare and the craven ideologues that passed it, is totally unacceptable to threaten their relatives or friends and put them in danger.
Go to your Congressman's office and scream at him in the most colorful language possible. Hang him in effigy at protests. If you're willing to do the time for the crime, have a swing at him.
Better yet, throw a shoe... after all, the left values such behavior as a form of "vigorous dissent," and will no doubt ask for any charges against you to be dropped.
Perhaps one day stronger action will be required if Progressives continue to trample on our liberties in their blind quest for power. But that time is not now.
At this time, I suspect Shikha Dalmia's call for massive civil disobedience is the correct path. Show your anger. Make sure those who have trampled your liberties are stuck down by ballots. With your help, the Democratic Party's assault on the Republic can be undone.
The right way.

Positive Feedback ISSUE 6
pass labs
X250 stereo amplifier
as reviewed by Mark Katz
Photos taken by Dave Clark in his system
The Pass X250 is the 2nd from the bottom of the Pass X series amp line. The smallest is the not so small X150, at 150 watts/channel and at the top are the 1000 watt per monobloc X1000 amps. These amps succeed the excellent Aleph series. The X250 weighs in at 100 pounds, but can be carried by two people with the help of the rear mounted handles. The front has a circular power switch and an attractive blue glowing meter that I believe conveys how much current the amp needs to draw. Wing-like protrusions that can be used as handles surround the meter and the whole amp has a brushed silver look. The back of this rather hefty stereo amp sports both single ended and balanced inputs and clever, large binding posts that are very easy to hand tighten. The binding posts are good for spades, but cant be used on bananas since theres nowhere to plug them. Also on the back is the obligatory IEC receptacle for the power cord, and the main power switch. The amps operation is intuitive. The manual gives the Nelson Pass design philosophy of low noise, very low distortion, achievable with only 2 stages of amplification and low global feedback using "Supersymmetry" and balanced circuitry. His discussion of distortion minimization makes good reading in the users manual http://www.passlabs.com/pdf/x250man.pdf. Of course, the proof is in the implementation
I unplugged the Kora Cosmos amps and plugged the Pass X250 directly into a dedicated 20 amp outlet using a fairly hefty Tiff power cord. The rest of the system used included a CEC TL1 transport with Marigo Signature digital interconnect into an Audio Magic modified Kora Hermes 192/24 tubed DAC, Kora Eclipse tubed preamp hooked together with Goertz Triode interconnects. The amp drove the JM Labs Mezzo Utopias, a fairly flat 4 ohm, efficient load through shot-gunned (one run on each terminal) Kimber 8TC. The low powered equipment was plugged into an API Powerwedge 116 II, with the preamp into a non transformer filtered outlet. The amp changed the character of my system. Gone was the seductive sound of the Kora Cosmos, in came POWER. The first thing I noticed was a sense of the music becoming more dynamic. On my speakers, it seemed effortless and amazingly energetic. It sounded as if the dynamics of the performances were brought closer to the original. With the possible exception of very high efficiency horn speakers, dynamics of the music reproduced is markedly diminished compared to the original. Many people deride this type of speakers for poor tonal balance and a honky, "cupped hand" sound and with a few exceptions, theyre right. Despite this they can convey lively dynamics that would otherwise be far more compressed on more "audiophile approved" speakers. With this amp, the Mezzos became much more authoritative, closer to this sort of dynamic presentation. I heard this with orchestral music, such as the early Telarc recording of Stravinskys Rite of Spring, classical piano, such as a Conifer recording of Kathryn Stott playing Debussy and Ravel (Connifer 75605 51755 2), and the jazz recording on Audioquest of Bruce Katz "Crescent Crawl" AQ - CD 1012. The bass drum sounded deep and strong, the piano key strikes were authoritative, the percussion snapped and double-bass rumbled. The bass range was not tubby or boomy, but tight and tuneful. On the Reference Recording (RR-57CD) of the Rutter Requiem, Pie Jesu, track 7 the organ pedal notes came through better than Ive ever heard on my speakers. The Mezzos roll off in the low 30 Hz range.
The next thing that came to awareness was the subtlety and detail that the amp revealed. Solid state amps sometimes sound dull and smeared, rolled off in an attempt to sound "tube-like", but good tube amps dont really sound dull at all. They can, on the opposite end of the spectrum, be etched and overly detailed inducing fatigue. They seem to dissect the music to the point of long term unlistenability or sounding good on just ones best recorded music. Think of it like a television or video display with the contrast turned up high. Apparent detail is in abundance, but is artificial and unreal. Underlying content may be lost. With the Pass amp, I heard great detail and delicacy at the same time. Harpsichord and vocals on the Dorian recording of Bachs Coffee cantata (Dorian - #90199) illustrate the point. The harpsichords plucked strings and faint resonance were clear. Tenor, baritone, and soprano all had texture, the flute conveyed air moving through it. Joshua Bells violin playing Gershwin, Gershwin Fantasy (Sony - #60659) sounded very realistic both in the instruments initial bowing or plucking and its resonance.
What was absent was a faint warmth and inner life I associate with the best tube amps. Instead came a feeling that this is what is on the recording, not adulterated, neither sweetened nor spiced. I loved the energy, controlled and powerful bass, and the refinement of this amp with my speakers. Neither harsh and unforgiving or rolled off, the Pass X250 lets one hear into the music in a way thats hard to believe in such a powerful amplifier. I had thought that relatively low power was a requirement for such subtlety of presentation. Perhaps the simplicity of its two stage design with very low distortion and low global feedback really is a way to get the music to come through. If it had a touch of my Kora Cosmos amps sweetness and warmth, the Pass would be a nearly ideal amplifier. Even so, the Pass X250 is simply the finest high powered solid state amp that Ive had the pleasure to pair with the Mezzo Utopias. Mark Katz

Wine 1.9.16 Dev | 22 Mb
Wine (Wine Is Not Emulator) is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix. Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris. Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems.
Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
Wine is still under development, and it is not yet suitable for general use. Nevertheless, many people find it useful in running a growing number of Windows programs. Please see the Application Database for success and failure reports for hundreds of Windows programs, as well as the Bug Tracking Database for a list of known issues, and the Status page for a global view on Wine's implementation progress.
What's new in this release :
- Better 64-bit binary compatibility on macOS.
- Performance improvements in javascript.
- More progress towards the Direct3D command stream.
- More shader instructions in Direct3D.
- Performance improvements in GDI.
- Various bug fixes.

Singapore Math. Conceptua Math employs a pedagogical approach that is highly compatible with Singapore Math. Singapore Math is widely lauded for developing a strong platform of understanding, and giving both teachers and students enduring confidence in mathematical teaching and knowledge. Our team has consulted with Singapore math leaders and practitioners to guarantee alignment in our product and support materials.
Fractions are the earliest topic in school mathematics where educators agree that students fail and teachers struggle to instruct. This is why we chose fractions as the first area of endeavor for Conceptua Math. "Difficulty with fractions (including decimals and percents) is pervasive and is a major obstacle to further progress in mathematics, including algebra." (National Math Advisory Panel, 2008.) This challenge is understandable as fractions present major conceptual leaps for students. Consider these factors:
We are firmly aligned with this core tenet of Singapore Math. Every student must master each Conceptua Math lesson in order to progress. Direct research with over 400 students spanning six months has proven that we never have to provide an answer or accelerate a student who has not passed a Skills Check. Instead, we place the burden on ourselves, as product developers, to create lessons that are so instructive that students will succeed even as they learn challenging topics. This is the Singapore Math way. This is our way.
Model-drawing is a problem-solving strategy where students create their own models to represent and solve word problems. Our Premium Subscription places strong emphasis on students manipulating models to solve standard problems. Topic 4 of most Big Ideas includes higher-order, student-centered lessons where students create their own model solutions to divergent problems. The Student Tools are designed for modeling word problems.
As applied to Singapore Math, this means that topics covered previously are reviewed at higher grades with increasing difficulty. We agree, and we consistently have students apply their prior knowledge. For instance, our addition with uncommon denominators models make sense only after mastering equivalent fractions and finding common denominators. We support the rigor of mastery-and-application.
Students must monitor their own thought processes, and consider alternative ways to arrive at answers. We encourage classroom discourse with our Teacher Tools, and we employ multiple models to foster flexible thinking. Our instructional videos and teacher support materials are strongly geared towards encouraging students to be aware of how they arrive at answers, instead of encouraging rote learning.

Eighty yards of lawn chairs occupied by the top college coaches in the country under the lights of Johnny Unitas Stadium are enough to give any high school player butterflies. After a few breakdowns in transition for both sides, the orange and white clad rising juniors at the Top 205 All-Star contest settled in for the camp's highlighted showcase.
The game's goalies suffered the most early on as the unfamiliarity of their defensive teammates allowed each side's attacks easy shots on the net. Zack Bartlolo (Brien McMahon) scored on the first possession of the game, dodging from behind the goal only to find enough wide-open space to set up and fire an uncontested shot into the top left corner of the goal. Kevin Brown (Fairfield Prep) picked up a pair of goals while standing alone on the crease, picking up the point-blank finishes on breakaways. Brown scored another goal just a few minutes later when left alone in the middle of the field, 10 yards from the goal after beating his mark.
While this isn't the first time many of these players have had a chance to suit up in front of college coaches, the summer before their junior year is critical to ultimately earning a scholarship.
"The way it is now, and it will only get more so, the its when they are rising juniors that they really get on a coach's list," said Denver head coach and camp organizer Bill Tierney, who estimated that about 200 or more college coaches were in attendance at various points during the camp. "These players are coming from all over the country, all over the world to be seen. What we have here at this camp is representative of those playing the game."
Romar Dennis (St. Mary's Ryken) – Quiet for most of the game, Romar Dennis needed just one play to get coaches marking his name on their roster sheets. In the first half, Dennis dodged past his defender directly into a double team. Flattened and face down, he maintained possession, fought back to his feet and rifled a shot over the keeper's right shoulder. Despite not having the most smooth fundamentals on the field, such speed, strength and athleticism makes him a talent to watch as he is just a rising junior with two more years to refine his game.
Bennett Bradey (Loyola Blakefield) – While showing well on face-offs, the hometown boy, demonstrated his diverse skill set, scoring as well as passing. When interior passing was at a premium during a game that followed a pattern of dodge-shoot, dodge-shoot, rinse-repeat, Bradley was aware of cutters and fed several strong looks on the goal, even if just one ended up in the back of the net.
Tyler Young (Arundel) – He wasn't flashy, but ever was he efficient. While a number of other players on the field put their heads down, drove toward the goal and misfired shots anywhere but near the goal, Young was the opposite. He didn't force his way to the goal, choosing instead to accept what was given and converting those chances. A composed offensive player, he made clean, accurate passes and finished when given a window to shoot.
Joe Walsh (St. Joseph's Prep) – Fast. It's really the best word to describe Joe Walsh. While other player's are taking long strides, Walsh is making shorter, choppier steps that are a great asset in traffic as he cuts through the defense like a running back taking a hand-off between the tackles. It just takes a quick first-step and he's gone. He still has work to do on his shot, but getting open for a look on the net isn't a issue.
Danny Sweeney (McDonogh) – The big, physical long pole was simply stronger than any attack that tried to quickly sprint past. Considering the number of defensive miscues, Sweeney was comfortable when matched up one-on-one.
