Line is the longest-running Off-Off Broadway show on the boards, having played continuously at the Thirteenth Street Repertory Theatre since 1974. One by one a group of unacquainted people come together to form a line for an unnamed, upcoming event. Gradually, the struggle for first place begins, and as they lie, cheat, wrestle and push to gain the lead spot. An extraordinary panorama of human frailty is made explosively and hilariously real. As, in the end, are the deviousness, the competitiveness, and the pettiness of the small, wasting battles with which we litter our lives.

FY 2001 Capital Investment Leasing Program
Good morning, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, my name is
Robert A. Peck and I am the Commissioner of the Public Buildings Service. Thank you for inviting me here today to discuss the Fiscal Year 2001 Capital Investment and Leasing Program. Before I discuss the specifics of our program, I would first like to give you an overview of our overall responsibilities and highlight a number of Public Buildings Service initiatives that are improving the way we do business.
GSA's Public Buildings Service is the largest owner/operator of commercial-style real estate in the United States, managing 350 million square feet of space in office buildings, courthouses, laboratories and border stations, and housing one million Federal employees. Approximately 55 percent of that space is in 1,993 government-owned buildings, housing nearly 500,000 employees. The remainder of the space and employees is housed in approximately 6,400 privately owned leased buildings. Our customers include all Federal departments, independent agencies and commissions, the Judiciary, and Members of Congress.
Our funding comes principally - in fiscal year 2000 it is coming exclusively - from the rents that we charge to the more than 100 Federal agencies. The rent revenues, expected to amount to approximately $5.5 billion in fiscal year 2000, are deposited into the Federal Buildings Fund (FBF) and are used to operate the government's buildings, pay rent to the private sector for our leased space, provide security, and fund our administrative costs. More than 90 percent of the $5.5 billion we plan to spend in fiscal year 2000 will be paid out in the form of contracts with the private sector. More than half of the FY 2000 expenditures, $3 billion, will go toward lease payments in private buildings.
Since the Oklahoma City bombing, we have doubled our rate of spending on building security, doubled the size of our uniformed force, and improved our security organization to upgrade its capabilities and focus it on the violent threats we face.
Improved Performance through Businesslike Measures
While we carry out the public buildings program in accordance with government contracting procedures and socio-economic preferences, we are now operating more like a business. Our performance measurements link our budgeting process to performance in tangible ways. We have established nine performance measures, which have quickly become known as the "Big Nine" in our organization. These measures have allowed our 11 regions to compete among each other to do our business in the cheapest, best, and fastest manner possible. Regional budget allocations and even individual bonuses are tied directly to a region's ability to meet specific performance improvement targets.
In business, they say you get what you measure and we have found that, too. Since we began our "Linking Budget to Performance" program, we have had the following results:
?r funds from operations have increased approximately 38 percent from fiscal year 1998 to 1999.
? have reduced the non-revenue producing space in our total inventory from 13 percent to 10 percent in just the last fiscal year.
?r operating costs per square foot in government-owned space are approximately 13 percent below the private industry average; in the past three years, our cleaning costs per square foot have actually gone down, while the private industry average has gone up.
?e average rents we have paid in our leased buildings across the country have been at or below the average rate that private sector tenants pay, with a cost avoidance to the government in the tens of millions of dollars.
?e average time it takes us to negotiate new leases for client agencies is down from 244 days in 1996 to 152 days in 1999, a decrease of 38 percent.
?r energy consumption was reduced 17.3 percent from 1985 to 1999. Our goal is to further reduce this another 2.7 percent by the end of fiscal year 2000 and an additional 10 percent by the end of fiscal year 2005.
?r customer satisfaction scores, measured in hundreds of buildings by the Gallup organization, have improved steadily from 74 percent in 1993 to 80 percent in 1998. Our long-term customer satisfaction goal is 85 percent.
These results are depicted graphically in an attachment to my statement.
This improved financial performance has a direct bearing on the capital program we are proposing. By pricing more realistically and reducing expenses, we have produced more net income, which for us is the only available source of funding to upgrade our aging buildings, and thus provide Federal workers the productive workspace they need. Increased net income allows us to propose more capital improvement projects. We are proposing some new construction funding from the FBF, as well. We consider this to be a secondary priority for FBF net income and are recommending it for some urgent security and law enforcement projects only.
Improving the Public Quality of Public Buildings
In addition to focusing on our bottom line, the Public Buildings Service has a broader goal of improving the benefits that Federal buildings bring to local communities across the country, recapturing the tradition of quality and vitality in Federal buildings that was begun by Washington and Jefferson.
? are designing and constructing landmark public buildings that are efficient and dignified, sources of community pride, and positive government investments in their localities.
?r urban livability program has improved the way we integrate our site and design decisions with local planning and development needs. We are making public building plazas centers of downtown activity, in the tradition of the American courthouse square.
? have kicked off a First Impressions program to redesign the entry and lobby areas of our Federal buildings, making them more welcoming and functional as well as secure for the public and employees.
This month we submitted to Congress the GSA Fiscal Year 2001 Capital Investment and Leasing Program, which you have before you today. We are pleased to note our proposed budget request this year includes a substantial new construction program as well as an increase in the amount proposed for critical repair and alteration projects.
The highlights of the program include:
Projects Funded from the FBF
?prospectus-level (non-courts) design and new construction projects estimated at $82,351,000;
? prospectus-level repair and alteration projects budgeted at $349,278,000;
? prospectus-level repair and alteration designs for future projects at $21,915,000;
? ongoing chlorofluorocarbon reduction and energy-saving programs budgeted at $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, respectively; and
?glass fragmentation program budgeted at $30,000,000.
Projects Funded from a Direct Appropriation to the FBF
?new construction projects - the FDA consolidation in Montgomery County, MD, for $101,239,000 and ATF Headquarters project in Washington, DC, for $83,000,000; and
?new courthouse construction projects totaling a budget request of $488,464,000.
Capital Planning
Our Capital Investment and Leasing Program plays a key role in providing the necessary resources to maintain the current real property assets and acquire new or replacement assets. Our proposed projects are evaluated in the context of the entire national portfolio. We consider three options when evaluating our client agency requirements: construction and acquisition, repair and alteration, or leasing space from the private sector. When evaluating and prioritizing our capital program, we consider a number of factors:
?onomic justification in terms of financial return and present value cost;
?oject timing and execution;
?ysical urgency based on building conditions;
?stomer urgency; and
?storic preservation and community considerations.
Repair and Alteration Program
More than half of our government-owned buildings are older than fifty years and nearly a quarter of the inventory bears historic designation, so we have a particularly significant need for funds to maintain and renovate our existing inventory. Our first capital program priority therefore must be repair and alteration of our existing inventory to ensure that its value and condition do not decline. For fiscal year 2001, we are proposing a budget of $721.2 million, an 8 percent increase over $665.6 million received in fiscal year 2000. Our annual repair and alteration program is approximately 2.5 percent of the inventory's replacement value, which falls within the range (2-4 percent) of private sector practice. However, given the age of the inventory, we are currently studying what is an appropriate level of funding.
To help allocate the limited resources of the FBF for repair and alteration projects, we use a Return on Investment (ROI) methodology--in addition to the criteria highlighted above. ROI determines if a project adds or detracts from the net income the building contributes to the FBF after project completion. Simply stated, if we invest dollars in a building, we want to make sure that the investment will bring increased revenues. Using a ROI approach in evaluating projects assists our efforts in strengthening the long-term fiscal health of the FBF.
New Construction and Acquisition
Through revenues generated by the FBF, we are proposing to fund 7 border stations; demolition and construction of a new U.S. Mission to the United Nations; and the acquisition of a site and design of a new Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Field Office. By increasing our net income -- through new pricing policies and our focus on performance measures -- we have released some of that net income for modest, yet urgent, security-related new construction projects. Nonetheless, we continue to have unmet needs in our existing buildings and our first priority for the use of net income is for building repairs and alterations.
Through a direct appropriation, we are requesting funding and authority for 7 courthouse projects across the nation, the FDA consolidation in Montgomery County, MD, and the ATF Headquarters project in Washington, DC. You will also notice a request for your Committee to authorize the Suitland, MD, NOAA project. Design funds for this urgently needed facility, which will house some of the nation's most important weather satellite technology, was provided in the Department of Commerce's fiscal year 2000 appropriation. Our request for authorization, along with an advance appropriation requested in the Fiscal Year 2001 President's Budget, will allow GSA to proceed expeditiously with the design and construction of this important facility. Our fiscal year 2001 budget request also includes advance appropriations in fiscal years 2002, 2003, and 2004, which will complete funding of the FDA consolidation in Montgomery County, MD.
As you know, this is the first year the Administration has requested a courthouse program since 1997. The fiscal year 2001 funding request for new courthouse construction reflects the Administration's view that courtroom sharing is a cost effective means for providing the space needed by the courts. This has resulted in the elimination of 22 courtrooms in the 7 new courthouse projects proposed in the budget. Although some redesign will be required, GSA's fiscal year 2001 budget request was reduced by approximately $25 million as a result. Our projections indicate that the expenditure of almost $33 million will be avoided in future years as these projects move from the design phase into construction. Additional significant cost savings of approximately $85 million will result, for instance, from the construction of a companion courthouse to the Roybal Building in Los Angeles, as opposed to a new stand-alone courthouse.
The following table summarizes the status of the courthouse construction
Project Stage Number of Projects
Completed 25 9 completed in 1999
Construction Funded
Under Construction 15 9 to be completed in fiscal year 2000*
Construction Pending 6 Fully funded and authorized
Partially Funded
Site Acquisition 3 Received only site funding/authorization
Design 1 Received only design funding/authorization
Site and Design** 12 Received site and design funding/authorization
TOTAL DOLLARS $3.5 Billion
*Albany, GA; Central Islip, NY; Hammond, IN; Las Vegas, NV; Montgomery, AL; Omaha, NE; Phoenix, AZ; St. Louis, MO; Tucson, AZ
**The Seattle, WA, Courthouse project is an example where GSA is in the site acquisition and design process. GSA will not proceed with construction until such funding and authorization are obtained.
The 25 projects that have already been completed provide 244 courtrooms for
the Judiciary's use. The 9 projects that will be completed this fiscal year will
add 123 courtrooms to the inventory.
The remainder of the new courthouse construction program is projected to cost
approximately $4.5 billion. This amount includes construction funding for the
16 projects that have received only partial funding and also includes full
funding for the 97 projects that have received no funding to date.
Leasing Program
This year we have also submitted for your consideration 12 lease prospectuses. These 12 leases total approximately $80 million in obligations in fiscal year 2001. These prospectus-level leases represent a small percentage of our $2.94 billion rental of space budget request for fiscal year 2001.
By managing ourselves in a more business-like manner, we are working to control the growth of our leased inventory. As mentioned previously, one of our performance measures is the amount of vacant space in our inventory. We focus on reducing vacancy in both owned and leased space by renovating and backfilling vacant-owned space, realigning space assignments to consolidate vacant space, and where possible, buying out leases and moving tenants from leased to vacant-available space in Government-owned buildings. We believe our efforts have been successful. The proposed $721.2 million repair and alteration program, for instance, will allow us to backfill more than 1.1 million square feet of vacant space in our owned inventory, which in many cases involves moving client agencies back into government-owned buildings from leased space.
While the FBF can support maintaining our existing inventory and a modest new construction program to fund border station needs and specialized law enforcement needs, such as the occasional FBI building, it cannot support a large-scale new construction program, such as that needed by the U.S. courts. This is evidenced by the $3 billion Congress has appropriated to the FBF between fiscal years 1990 - 2000.
To propose a large new construction program as we have this year, it is necessary for us to ask for an appropriation to the FBF. We have found, however, that our business-like approach has helped us maximize the net income from our portfolio, and in turn, invest more in our existing inventory. The higher our net income, the higher the number of prospectus-level repair and alteration projects we are able to submit to Congress. A higher net income also allows us to fund more new construction projects within the FBF, which is evidenced by the $102,194,000 we submitted in the fiscal year 2000 budget and the $107,085,000 we are proposing for fiscal year 2001.
Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the General Services Administration. We were created as an outgrowth of the Hoover Commission in 1949. Over the past year we have been evaluating the impact that additional asset management tools would have on the Government's management of real estate. We are working closely with the Administration, and hope in the near future to submit a proposal that Congress agrees will allow us to operate our real property inventory even more effectively. Finally, we are also evaluating the need to increase the prospectus threshold above the FY 2001 level of $1.99 million. We believe a higher threshold would enable us to meet agencies'
space needs -- such as replacing a single building systems or backfilling vacant space -- more rapidly than the current threshold allows, and would still provide for the Committee's review the significant capital improvement and construction projects that Congress has traditionally been concerned about.
Mr. Chairman, this concludes my formal statement. I would be glad to answer any questions that you may have about our proposed Fiscal Year 2001 Capital Investment and Leasing Program, or any other aspects of the public buildings program.

Six people were arrested for driving under the influence during a sobriety checkpoint in the eastbound lane of Citrus Avenue between the north and south campuses of Redlands High School last Friday. An additional sobriety checkpoint is scheduled for this Friday.
A total of 165 vehicles passed through the grant-funded checkpoint between 10 p.m. Nov. 9 and 3 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 10. In addition to the six DUI arrests, two drivers were cited for driving with suspended licenses and another was cited for driving without a license or insurance.
On Monday, police conducted a grant-funded traffic enforcement operation on Sunset Drive North, San Mateo Street, Alabama Street, Redlands Boulevard, University Street, Citrus Avenue, Lugonia Avenue and Church Street.
Officers cited 33 drivers, including 19 who failed to stop at a stop sign; four for speeding; three for talking on a cell phone; and one for texting.
Another driver was cited for running a red light; one for driving without a license; and another for driving without insurance.
Two drivers were cited for failure to yield; and another for failing to signal.
Officers on grant-funded overtime also assisted with a robbery investigation that resulted in one arrest and recovery of a vehicle stolen in San Bernardino.
A sobriety checkpoint is scheduled beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, through 3 a.m. Saturday, in the northbound lanes of Orange Street between Stuart and Pearl avenues.
On Nov. 19, officers will conduct targeted enforcement looking for distracted drivers talking on cell phones, texting, running stop signs and red lights, speeding and failing to yield to pedestrians and other vehicles.
Funding for these enforcement programs comes from a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

A MAN who miraculously defied doctors to become a father despite having an inoperable brain tumour is to become a dad for the second time.
Ben Lindon, aged 34, was told the high doses involved in his chemotherapy treatment, which he will receive for the rest of his life, would leave him infertile but he and his wife Kate, who live in Oakfield Road, Malvern, welcomed their daughter Martha to the world 17 months ago and they are now expecting a baby boy.
Kate, 31, is 24 weeks pregnant and has a due date of June 26.
Mr Lindon said: "We are thrilled, gobsmacked and over the moon - it's unbelievable news. We thought Martha was miraculous enough and this is another miracle.
"It's the family dream to have a little boy and girl, things we really didn't believe we would have. It is beyond our wildest dreams."
If that wasn't enough to keep the lucky pair busy, Mr Lindon is gearing up to run the London Marathon on Sunday, April 13 and the gruelling 26.2 miles challenge around the streets of the capital will come after he has completed his 60th cycle of chemotherapy.
He admits to hating running marathons but is aiming to raise £3,000 for Brain Tumour Research as "£2,740 is the exact amount that covers one day of brain tumour research."
The former journalist, who now works as a tree surgeon, was diagnosed with the tumour after his left arm went numb and he collapsed while running in March 2008.
The very rare form of brain cancer called grade 2 gioblastoma multiforme affects two to three people per 100,000 in America and Europe, and it proved inoperable due to its position in the central part of Mr Lindon's brain.
"I haven't done any training, so it will be horrific. I am not so worried about the training because I have a fairly active job - I'm more worried about the fund raising side of things."
He hopes to attract some corporate sponsorship to ease the financial burden on generous family and friends while still generating funds for his chosen cause.
Mr Lindon has already shown he has an appetite for physical challenges, having scaled Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon over a weekend in October with his Three Peaks challenge raising about £3,000 for the charity.
To make a donation or to discuss sponsorship, go to justgiving.com/Ben-Lindon1 or contact Mr Lindon via email@example.com or 07531 446716.

The mastering-quality Benchmark DAC1 USB D/A Converter offers 2-channel 24-bit/192-kHz digital-to-analog audio conversion. For more then 10 years, engineers and audiophiles have come to rely on Bench... Click To Read More About This Product
The mastering-quality Benchmark DAC1 USB D/A Converter offers 2-channel 24-bit/192-kHz digital-to-analog audio conversion. For more then 10 years, engineers and audiophiles have come to rely on Benchmark for critical digital audio conversion. They consistently find themselves engaged in the music in a way that is rarely achieved with digital converters.
Benchmark has achieved unprecedented sonic purity in their converters through intelligent engineering, eliminating digital distortion artifacts, and maintaining a pristine analog delivery path. The DAC1 USB continues this tradition of excellence.
Preserving the Classic Benchmark DAC1 Heritage
The pristine audio path of the award-winning Classic DAC1 has made it the 'Benchmark' of standalone D-to-A converters. The DAC1 USB preserves the exact topology of the audio path of the Classic DAC1, while adding some of the most frequently requested features.
The DAC1 USB includes Benchmark's jitter-immune UltraLock clock system and Benchmark's 0-ohm HPA2 headphone amplifier. The DAC1 USB features Benchmarks AdvancedUSB technology to ensure bit-transparent, high-resolution playback directly from your computer. The DAC1 USB also includes a programmable mute function that automatically mutes the main outputs upon insertion of a headphone plug. Other features that are exclusive to the DAC1 USB include a programmable headphone gain range, an automatic 'Standby' feature, and a high-current output stage designed to drive even the most difficult loads.
Jitter-Immune UltraLock
Digital interconnect cables, electromagnetic interference, and many other variables introduce jitter into the digital audio. Jitter presents a major problem to most D-to-A converters. Jitter is a type of clock error that, if not properly addressed, can cause the D-to-A to misfire. The result of these misfires is a nonmusical, digital distortion.
Many modern (and expensive) converters suffer from severe jitter-induced distortion. Jitter is NOT a problem for the DAC1 USB, which achieve jitter immunity by utilizing the proprietary UltraLock clock-recovery system.
With the UltraLock clock-recovery system, the digital-to-analog conversion-clock in the DAC1 USB is totally isolated from the clock of the digital audio input. This clock-recovery topology outperforms even the most well-designed two-stage PLL designs. Using state-of-the-art Audio Precision testing equipment, no jitter-induced artifacts can be detected with the DAC1 USB. Any signal that can be decoded by the USB or AES/EBU receivers will be reproduced without the addition of any measurable jitter artifacts. The bottom line is this: Benchmark converters will consistently and faithfully deliver truthful audio with no jitter-induced artifacts, no matter what variables are present.
AdvancedUSB Audio Technology
The USB interface of the DAC1 USB features Benchmark's unique AdvancedUSB technology. This USB interface is completely bit-transparent. In other words, every sample of digital audio is transferred from the computer to the DAC1 USB without modification. The DAC1 USB is natively compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 and Mac OS X. As a native device, there are no drivers or other invasive software required to install or configure. The DAC1 USB is a true plug-and-play DAC USB, and is designed to begin playback immediately after the unit is connected to a USB port for the first time.
Unlike previous native USB audio interfaces, Benchmark's AdvancedUSB Audio technology supports 24-bit audio at sample-rates up to 96 kHz. It is very important to have a 24-bit USB path, even for 16-bit playback, because certain computer-related functions can increase 16-bit audio to 24 bits. If a 16-bit USB DAC is used, 8 bits of every digital audio sample would be truncated. Truncating digital audio causes severe, nonmusical digital distortion. Benchmark's AdvancedUSB interface ensures a full 24-bit digital audio path to avoid truncation distortion.
HPA2 Headphone Amplifier
The DAC1 USB feature the HPA2 " Benchmark's signature high-current, 0-Ohm headphone amplifier. The HPA2 is arguably the ultimate reference headphone amplifier. It will deliver the full rated performance of the DAC1 USB to the headphones. The HPA2 maintains less than 0.0003% THD+N under full load. The DAC1 USB both have two 1/4" headphone jacks on the front panel. The performance of the HPA2 remains consistent even when two headphones are being driven.
For mounting options, see RM Kit #485682, RM Coupler #485683, and RM Blank #485683.

Hi All,
Sorry if this now seems a little redundant, what with Voinage's one plugin to rule them all.
As more + more people are hosting on Poogle code I thought it might be useful to have a way to get those plugins into the xbmc in a simple + consistent way. To facilitate this I made this plugin that looks at a few users who have xbmc content, I basically did a quick search on the forum and added all the users I could see. I will try and update this list or better still find a wiki way of updating + reading it.
When you run the plugin it lists the users from the users.dat file in the resources folder under the main plugin directory. For each user you can then list the plugins/scripts they have available + then install them. The plugin takes you through installing, asking the type of download and for plugins the type of plugin. When you have gone through the prompts it copies the file to the appropriate location.
There are a couple of settings you can use, having the description of the file rather than the name and only showing featured items. These are set in the usual way from the plugin settings item on the menu.
There is also a script that is associated with the plugin called GoogleChecker that simply counts the number of new files for each user since it was last run. It uses the same user list if it is available so if you make a change to that one it will check any new users.
I was a bit dense creating these scripts and didn't notice you can get a feed with all the useful data about the googlecode downloads so the check only sees the updates on or after today so you will keep seeing that there are updates every check of the day not just the first. I will look into fixing this but I thought I would try + get something out the door.
Anyway I hope this is useful to some people, it might just turn into a vanity project for letting people know that I have a new script or plugin coming out but hopefully it should pick up changes to Voinage's Unified plugin. Although that is so masterfully complex that it probably does it itself.
Plugin: http://sico99xbmcstuff.googlecode.com/fi...ode1.1.zip
Checking Script: http://sico99xbmcstuff.googlecode.com/fi...hecker.zip
Apologies for posting this twice in two sections, I really only meant to place it here but suddenly realized I was in creators corner.

Well done this is cool, wish you would have released it yesterday i would have ask to steal your code rather making new update code for VPR and got a few more hours sleep.
Get the new unified plugin , if you have a lord of the rings version it`s a TEST copy and I told everybody not to download that-It`s changed totally.

This plugin is awesome, but I'm having some issues with it. I can get everyone's plugins to show up except for Exiledx (it says 5 of 7 and then goes back to the list of names), Sicco99 (it just says retrieved 0 and goes back to list), and Stacked stops at 3 of 7 and returns.
I opened up the users.dat file and the urls are correct. According to my debugging log, the errors are in 197, in ?
in line 50, in getItems
and line 76, in convertDate
return datetime.date(datetime.date.today().year,shortMonths.index(bits[0]),int(bits[1])).strftime("%Y%d%m")
With the working names, it just says:
Name: None
I've tried running the Google Code plugin as a Video plugin and as a Program Plugin and got the same results.
I used the latest version 1.1 on my Xbox with the 12-30-2008 T3ch build.
Thanks for your work!

Less and less of the "users" seem to be accessible, what a strange little bug. Any chance you could fix this?

Sorry to take so long to come back on the problems, I think the issue was to do with the date and should now be working. The new version is at :
Glad you guys are liking it, let me know if you have any more issues, all users seemed to work on my XBOX and Windows installs but I have probably made more mistakes somewhere.
Again my apologies.

I see from the log that the plugin is running from your script folder. I would guess that this is the problem, if you move it to C:\Program Files\XBMC\plugins\Programs and run it by going into the programs section within XBMC then hopefully it should work for you.
Not all skins show the program section so you could put it in another plugin folder like video. It should still work from there, it does for me. Otherwise you can add it to favourites by editing favourites.xml as in the SVN post.
Let me know if that is not the problem.

I was messing around with this plugin again and tried to add nixa's plugins to it by putting this into the users.dat file:
nixa, http://code.google.com/p/sparetime/downloads/list
However, it would just give me this error and then freeze my xbox:
File "Q:\plugins\video\GoogleCode\default.py", line 197, in ?
NOTICE: getUsers()
NOTICE: File "Q:\plugins\video\GoogleCode\default.py", line 17, in getUsers
NOTICE: addUser(userInfo[0],userInfo[1])
NOTICE: IndexError
NOTICE: list index out of range
ERROR: Scriptresult: Error
I also tried to just change the url from one of the working users like xbmc-favorites but it gave the same error. How do you add users to this list without borking it?
Thanks. Here's the full log if necessary.
When posting about a problem please submit a debug log to give you the best chance at getting an answer. It's easy, painless, and helps provide necessary information.

Airline Loses 10-Year-Old Child. Do You Let Your Kids Fly by Themselves?
It's a horror story for any parent: A child flying by herself was lost by the airline that was supposed to be helping her travel. Do you let your kids fly alone?
-Lylah M. Alphonse, Yahoo! Shine
It's a perennial problem for parents of summer campers and for divorced parents who share custody of their kids but live far away from one another: Do you let your child fly by themselves?
Annie and Perry Klebahn dropped their 10-year-old daughter, Phoebe, off at the San Francisco airport on June 30th for her first-ever solo trip to sleep-away camp in Michigan. They paid the $99 unaccompanied minor fee to United Airlines and listened as United personnel reassured Phoebe that she would have someone with her at all times and reminded her to only go with someone wearing a United badge. They waited at the airport until Phoebe's flight took off, tracked it online to Chicago, watched online as her connecting flight took off and landed in Traverse City, Michigan, where someone from the camp was scheduled to meet her plane.
But Phoebe wasn't on it. The 10-year-old spent hours alone in Chicago while United officials ignored her requests for help.
"No one showed up in Chicago to help her transfer, so although her plane made it, she missed the connection," Sanford University professor Bob Sutton, who is friends with the girls' parents, wrote on his blog. "Most crucially, United employees consistently refused to take action to help assist or comfort Phoebe or to help her parents locate her despite their cries for help to numerous United employees."
Read Toddler Tantrum Gets Family Booted from Plane. Is Flying Still Kid-Friendly?
Phoebe ended up all right — she made it to camp four hours later, though her luggage took three more days to arrive. But even so, she spent hours alone in an unfamiliar airport, unable to reach her parents. "She was sad and scared and no one helped," her parents wrote in their complaint to United.
"The attendants where busy and could not help her she told us. She told them she had a flight to catch to camp and they told her to wait," they wrote in their letter, which Sutton also posted on his blog. "She asked three times to use a phone to call us and they told her to wait. When she missed the flight she asked if someone had called camp to make sure they knew and they told her 'yes-we will take care of it.' No one did."
According to the Klebahns, it took them more than 18 hours of phone calls to account for their daughter's whereabouts and to track her belongings. At first, a United representative in India told Annie Klebahn that she was mistaken and Phoebe was actually at camp. Then she admitted that the child had missed the flight, but told the distraught mother "'It does not matter' she is still in Chicago and 'I am sure she is fine'," the Klebans wrote. When Annie asked to speak to a supervisor, she was put on hold for 40 minutes.

running airodump-ng but the pwr column shows all zero's
Using hawking HWU8DD USB Dish Adapter ZD1211rw driver.
As this is a dish adapter I really need the pwr indication.
It used to work but have not used it for sometime so I guess the driver has been updated since I last used it. Airodump and airdrop are all working OK except the pwr indication and it injects OK.
Is it possible to roll back to an earlier driver and if so how?
many thanks
I have just tested the USB dish on a version of BT4 pf and the PWR column is working correctly and I can direct my dish to the selected AP for the best signal. I guess the the problem is the driver. Could some kind member please point me in the direction of
A - how to find the version information of each driver &
B - How do I change the driver version
many thanks

The Nature of the Training Provided to USPTO Examiners
Achieving organizational excellence demands a high performance work force that delivers high quality work products and provides customer service excellence. Training is a critical component in achieving consistently high quality products and services. Patent examiners and Trademark examining attorneys received extensive legal, technical and automation training in FY 2007. The USPTO has a comprehensive training program for new patent examiners and trademark examining attorneys, embedding a well-established curriculum including initial legal training, automation training and training in examination practice and procedure. Automation training is provided to all examiners as new systems are deployed and existing systems are enhanced. More than 2,030 automation classes were conducted on patent examination tools in FY 2007. New technology-specific legal and technical training was conducted throughout the examining operations. This specific training either focuses on practices particular to a technology or was developed to address training needs identified through patent and trademark examination reviews or staff requests.
The USPTO training staff works with the Patent and Trademark business units to address specific training concerns and serve as consultants to design specific internal programs to fit the education needs of each business unit. Training is reviewed and evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure it is up-to-date and that coursework reflects developments and changes that have taken place in the industry. In FY 2007, the USPTO continued to expand training opportunities by developing additional computer-based training and instructional videos.

Getting Down to Business: News on Employers and Paid Leave June 2014
June 06, 2014
Getting Down to Business: News on Employers and Paid Leave
June 2014
In this Issue
GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS is CLASP's monthly update on the latest news about business and paid leave. If you have news you want to share with your colleagues around the country, let us know. And be sure to tell your area businesses about Better Workplaces, Better Businesses, a website that aggregates news and research related to business and paid leave and highlights business supporters of paid leave from around the country.
Later this month, the White House, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and Center for American Progress (CAP), is convening a Summit on Working Families to address pressing issues for today's workforce. Leading up to the summit, a number of regional forums have taken place across the country. They have showcased business owners whose practices support employees as they care for their families, as well as those who have taken a stance in favor of public policies. At the New York Regional Forum on Working Families, Tony Sandkamp, owner of Sandkamp Woodworks, said that earned sick days are a "win-win" for both workers and employers. He explained that earned sick days make good business sense because the cost of replacing and training new employees often exceeds the cost of providing that time off. In Chicago, Sugar Bliss Cake Boutique founder Teresa Ging also espoused the positive effects of better employment practices, saying: "I think that when you do invest in your employees you not only boost morale, but also retention." See photos of the forums in San Francisco, New York ,and Chicago >>
The chorus of business voices who support the Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act is growing louder. Last month, a number of new business leaders pledged support for the bill, which would create a national paid family and medical leave insurance program. The new supporters are highlighted on the Better Workplaces, Better Businesses website, which is sponsored by the American Sustainable Business Council, Main Street Alliance, and Social Venture Network. Jade Change Sheppard, founder of Gideon Contracting in Texas, explained, "As a business owner, I know that making sure workers have the time they need pays off in terms of more loyalty and productivity and enhances our bottom line in the long run. The FAMILY Act makes sense for my workers, my business, and the communities we work in, and having a national standard makes good sense for all of us." Sara Sanderson, former owner of Wisconsin-based People's Telephone Company, said, "I wholeheartedly support the FAMILY Act and believe that if businesses look at their bottom lines, the benefits will be clear." See quotes from other business leaders >>
New York-based members of the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC) Action Fund are publicly supporting paid family leave. Members of the organization, which represents more than 26,000 New York businesses, recently launched a petition advocating for Paid Family Leave Insurance (PFLI) legislation in the state. The petition brings further momentum to the bill, which has already passed the Assembly and is gaining traction in the Senate. The business leaders argue that PFLI benefits business by reducing turnover, leveling the playing field for all employers, and minimizing the burden on employers of providing paid leave on their own. David Bolotsky, founder & CEO of UncommonGoods explains, "For us, the business case is clear: the better we treat our employees, the better employees we have, all leading to a stronger bottom line." Read the press release >>
New allies are stepping up to voice their support for paid leave legislation. On May 27, an association of human resources professionals issued a statement advocating for the proposed Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act. California Human Resources Professionals for the FAMILY Act bases its position on its members' many years of experience implementing California's Paid Family Leave (PFL) program. The group was mentioned at a recent regional forum in San Francisco (a part of the lead up to the White House Summit on Working Families this month), which featured Labor Secretary Tom Perez and Senate Leader Nancy Pelosi. In its statement, the group of HR experts argues that a national paid family and medical leave program would benefit employee morale, productivity, and health. The experts also note that implementation of California's PFL program has not been burdensome for employers. Read the press release >>
In celebration of National Small Business Week, Small Business Majority has released a series of guides to help small business owners understand enacted and proposed paid leave legislation in Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, and Colorado. The guides also showcase the ways family and medical leave insurance programs benefit and strengthen businesses. In fact, a recent poll conducted by the group shows that a plurality of small business owners support creating publicly administered family and medical leave insurance pools funded by small contributions from employers and employees.
At a recent event, Christopher Kelley, co-founder and president of Convene, stood with U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand as she called on Congress to pass the FAMILY Act. Kelley said, "It is regrettable that the birth of a child, which should mark a high point in one's life, is often overshadowed by employment security." He added, "We believe that a more holistic, family-oriented benefits program is not only the right thing to do but is also good business. Senator Gillibrand's legislation is the right thing to do." Read the press release >>
On June 24, Demos will host a panel discussion, titled "More Good News on Paid Family Leave," in New York. The panel, moderated by Demos Senior Fellow Sharon Lerner, will feature Eileen Appelbaum, senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research; Sherry Leiwant, co-president and co-founder of A Better Balance; and Donna Dolan, executive director of the New York State Paid Leave Coalition. Panelists will discuss lessons learned from California's and New Jersey's paid family leave programs, and the event will mark the publication of "Business as Usual: New Jersey Employers' Experiences with Family Leave Insurance," a paper by Lerner and Appelbaum. Watch for more details on the Demos website. A video will be posted after the event. Visit Demos>>

The highlight of Southern Dalmatia is undoubtedly the majestic walled city of Dubrovnik, from 1358 to 1808 a rich and powerful independent republic, which exerted its economic and cultural influence over almost the entire region. Jutting out to sea and backed by rugged mountains, it's an unforgettable sight and now Croatia's most upmarket and glamorous destination.
From Dubrovnik a ferry runs all the way up the coast to Rijeka in the Kvarner region, making several stops along the way, and occasionally extending its itinerary to include an overnight lap from Dubrovnik to Bari, Italy. There are also regular local ferry and catamaran services from Dubrovnik to outlying islands. The nearest and most accessible of these are the tiny car-free Elafitis, ideal as a day trip for someone on a short stay who still wants a brief taste of island life.
Moving down the mainland coast, Cavtat was founded by the ancient Greeks. Today a sleepy fishing town through winter, it turns into a cheerful holiday resort come summer, with a palm-lined seaside promenade, several sights of cultural note, and a handful of reasonably priced hotels.
Back up the coast, northwest of Dubrovnik, lies the village of Trsteno, with its delightful Renaissance arboretum stepping down toward the sea in a series of terraces. Proceeding northwest one arrives at Ston, known for its oysters and mussels, and its 14th-century walls forming the gateway to Peljesac Peninsula. Peljesac is of particular note for its excellent red wines: several families open their vineyards and cellars to the public for wine tastings. The main destination here is Orebic, a low-key resort with a good beach and water-sports facilities, backed by a majestic hillside monastery. From Orebic there are regular ferry crossings to Korcula Town, on the island of Korcula, one of the most sophisticated settlements on the Croatian islands, with its fine Gothic and Renaissance stone buildings bearing witness to almost 800 years of Venetian rule. Nearby Lumbarda provides a good stretch of sand beach, plus a delicate white wine known as Grk. In contrast to Korcula, the sparsely populated island of Mljet offers little in the way of architectural beauty but has preserved its indigenous coniferous forests, which rim the shores of two emerald-green saltwater lakes. They are contained within the borders of Mljet National Park, a haven for hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and kayaking. If you're travelling from Central to Southern Dalmatia by road, you'll pass through a narrow coastal strip given over to Bosnia-Herzegovina, so have your passport at hand for the border checkpoint. Most Croatian buses have a 20-minute stop here so people can jump off and shop, since many things—notably cigarettes—are much cheaper in Bosnia.

Robin Thicke's mother defends son against feminist critics
Listen to Robin Thicke on iHeartRadio
Robin Thicke's mother doesn't like that her son is being called disrespectful to women.
Singer and actress Gloria Loring appeared on Wednesday's "Access Hollywood Live" to defend her son against feminist critics, who've called Robin out on the nudity in the controversial video for his hit "Blurred Lines."
When the topic came up, Gloria rejected the notion, saying "Excuse me, he's been with the same woman for 20 years," explaining that he and wife Paula Patton "met when they were 16-years-old." As further evidence, Gloria added that "You won't keep a woman like [her], if you don't respect women."
Patton, as well as Robin's father "Growing Pains" actor Alan Thicke, have both spoken publicly in defense of the singer.
The controversy surrounding the song certainly isn't hurting it on the charts. "Blurred Lines" is enjoying its eleventh consecutive week at number one on the Hot 100.

Pam Gardner Resigns as Astros President of Business Operations
The Houston Astros and Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane announced today that Pam Gardner has voluntarily resigned from her role as President of Business Operations and will become a special advisor to Jim Crane.
"The Astros have been a very important part of my life for more than 23 years," Gardner said. "It truly has been a joyful and rewarding experience. I'm very proud of what we have been able to accomplish as an organization and the important role the Astros play in the life of our city and region.
"With the upcoming 50th anniversary of the club and the 2013 move to the American League, this is an ideal time for a fresh start. The Astros are in very good hands with Jim Crane and his impressive ownership group. The best is yet to come."
"Pam's leadership has been instrumental to the Astros success and reputation for many years," Crane said. "She is an invaluable resource and we look forward to her continued service to the Astros in her new role."
Gardner has been with the Astros for 23 years, served as president for 11 years and held the honor of the longest tenured female executive in Major League Baseball. She has been recognized professionally on several occasions over the years, most recently being named one of 20 women listed as "Game Changers" by Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal in 2011. She received the prestigious Marguerite Ross Barnett leadership award from the Houston Area Urban League in 2008 and was also named one of the "Women on the Move" by Texas Executive Women and the Houston Chronicle.
In November of 2006, Gardner became the first female executive inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame. In April of 2005, Gardner was recognized by the Sports Business Journal as one of the 20 Most Influential Women in Sports. She was also included in a special exhibit at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, saluting women in baseball.
Under Gardner's leadership, Comcast Sports Net Houston was formed in the fall of 2010 and will televise Astros and Rockets games beginning in 2012-13, as well as ancillary team programming. She also played a major role in the building of Minute Maid Park (formerly Enron Field), and oversaw the completion of the Urban Youth Academy in northwest Houston. In 2011, she helped plan and implement two new HD video scoreboards at Minute Maid Park and the private Insperity Club behind the home plate area. During her tenure, she led the Astros business group in hosting playoff events at Minute Maid Park including the 2004 All-Star Game and the first World Series game played in the state of Texas in 2005.
Gardner originally joined the Astros in 1989 as director of communications, developing advertising and marketing campaigns for the club. In 1994, she was named director of marketing, where her role expanded to include more strategic planning. Gardner became vice president of marketing in 1996, overseeing advertising, marketing and ticket sales for the Astros, with emphasis on growing general revenue areas.
Gardner was named senior vice president of sales and marketing in 1999, and added sponsorship sales and marketing operations to her responsibilities. She spearheaded the advertising and marketing efforts for both the team and the new ballpark in its inaugural season and led the development of the new logo and uniform design that the team currently utilizes. The club also set franchise attendance records in two consecutive seasons (1998-1999) in the Astrodome, in addition to the current franchise standard set in 2004 at Minute Maid Park.
Gardner currently serves on the board of the Astros in Action Foundation, the board and Executive Committee of Central Houston, Inc., which she will chair in 2012 and is a member of Texas Executive Women and the Greater Houston Partnership. She is a member of the Board of Directors of Newfield Exploration Company.

A Dynamic Link In Worldwide Business Relations
An interview with Alain Hermelin
Dean IEMI
Since 1981, IEMI has maintained a proud philosophy of continuing education and international exchanges to reach the highest levels of European and international dimensions. The Institute offers an MBA program with truly different professional and geographical concentrations.
Could you describe the structure of your MBA program?
Our program includes regular core courses as well as specialized tracks.
It is a part-time program based in Paris or in Brussels. Courses are organized into three-day modules held every two weeks, spread over a period of 18 months.
Seminars are conducted in different locations – Brussels, London, Moscow, and Beijing – according to their scope of interest.
Each participant will undertake a personal consultancy project according to professional and geographical concentrations focusing on a specific company or country.
A formal presentation of the project will be defended in Paris or Brussels in front of a jury composed of leading professionals and industry experts.
Could you tell us more about the international dimension of your school?
IEMI has, from the very beginning of its existence, invited prestigious visiting professors. It holds a close partnership with educational and professional institutions such as:
- HCMS – Moscow ;
- Huangpu University – Beijing ;
- ECMU - Brussels ;
- Tiffin University – Ohio - USA ;
IEMI benefits from a wide university network of educational associations, such as ACBSP – USA (Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs) ECBE – Belgium (European Council for Business Education) and ECMU – Belgium (European Corporate Management University.)
This network allows interested students to spend time abroad and obtain a double degree, if they wish.
What is different about your program and your school's approach to business education?
Our MBA is special because we offer a customized program with personal tutoring, which allows the participant to finalize his or her research project.
Working in small groups adds specificity to the learning environment.
Our long-term international spirit, featuring partnerships signed in 1988 with the Higher Commercial School of Moscow and in 1989 with the University of Huangpu in Beijing, makers our Institute a leader in globalization.
And finally, an acute sense of anticipation allows us to constantly adapt and adjust our courses to the current needs of each industry. Innovative tracks with a real-world approach to business helps train the future decision-makers at the highest level. This is our challenge.
Our alumni also make valuable contributions to the program by advising and helping it evolve by suggesting new topics.
What can you tell us about your graduates' success in finding employment?
Careerwise, participants in our MBA program succeed largely due to a consultancy project, which enables them to readily enter the business world. It's a winning opportunity to experience becoming a true European or Russian or Chinese entrepreneur.
Alain Hermelin
Who are the participants in your MBA program?
Students from more than 30 countries take part in the program, evaluating themselves through the spirit and strength of their accomplishments. IEMI students acquire, as the years pass, international and European skills and know-how, thanks to our strong spirit of multicultural education.
Program participants come from very different professional fields and industries – Hospitality, Luxury, Tourism, Sports and Leisure and International Business – along with European companies based in Russia, China, U.S., Brazil and the Middle East.

Trial courts hear many different types of cases. Overall, cases fall under 1 of 2 categories:
"Civil" cases are the cases in which private citizens (or companies) sue each other in court. Civil cases are not about breaking a criminal law.
There are many different kinds of cases in civil court. This website has separate sections for the most common kinds of civil cases. For more detailed information, you can go to our home page and click on the topic that interests you.
There are a lot of different kinds of cases in civil court:
Unlike in criminal cases, there is no right to a court-appointed lawyer in most civil cases. This means that, if you cannot afford a lawyer and you cannot get a legal aid or pro bono (volunteer) lawyer, you have to represent yourself. Click if you want more information about being your own lawyer and Representing Yourself.
Some civil cases are decided by judges or by commissioners, like family law, small claims, probate, or juvenile cases. Other civil cases are decided by juries, where it is only necessary that at least 9 of the 12 jurors agree on the verdict.
Standard of proof
In most civil cases, the judge or jury has to make a decision about which side wins based on a standard called "preponderance of the evidence." This means that, if you win, your side of the story is more likely than not. It does not mean that one side brought in more evidence than the other side. It means that one side's evidence was more believable than the other's.
In some cases, the standard for reaching a decision is "clear and convincing evidence." This means that, for you to win, you have to prove that your version of the facts is highly probably or reasonably certain, or "substantially more likely than not."
BUT neither of these standards is as strong as the standard in criminal cases, which requires the state to prove that the defendant is guilty of the crime he or she is being charged with beyond a reasonable doubt.
A criminal case is a lawsuit brought by the state against a person who has broken a criminal law. They are usually filed by the district attorney (also called the "DA"), which represents the state, against 1 or more defendants. Only the state, not another person or company, can bring criminal charges against you. The penalty for being found guilty of a crime is jail or prison time or a fine (or both).
Criminal cases are separated into three main categories:
Because of the serious consequences of a guilty verdict, defendants in criminal cases have a number of constitutional rights, like the right to a court-appointed lawyer if they cannot afford one, the right to remain silent, the protection from unreasonable searches, and the right to a jury of their peers.
In criminal cases, the defendant is presumed innocent. The prosecutor (the DA) must prove a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. And to convict a defendant, the jury must be unanimous, so all 12 jurors must agree on the verdict.

text: Watching SF/SEA/WAS excel with the read option I believe most teams will spend some time working on defensing it in Training Camp. Likely only SEA and Was did any real work against it in camp in 2012. It is a copy cat league and I'm sure there will be more teams trying a form of it and drafting QB's who can run it in the future. Will it go the way of the Wildcat, or evolve into a more dominant force NFL wide? IMO it will go the way of the wildcat after the spotlight of success shines on it and Defenses teach to stop it more than a few days before they play a team that runs it.

Your vacation, your way!
More space, more privacy, no compromises.
If you want to plan a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, you can rent a condo to give yourself a place to relax before or after hitting the town. The lights and sounds of the city provide so many entertainment options that you can fill a weekend or a whole week with exciting things to do. Your rental place can be where you enjoy a romantic drink, give your kids some down time, have fun splashing in your pool, or catch some sun in your patio or balcony.
Each day of the year you can find a number of live performances to choose from. Many of these are permanent installations at casinos and theaters across town. Fans of magic can check out David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, or Criss Angel. Comedy fans can be entertained at the Laugh Factory or other comedy clubs. Some have stand-up performers, and others have improv troupes. There are numerous Cirque du Soleil productions featuring acrobatic feats.
The music scene is unbeatable. Artists like Celine Dion and Britney Spears regularly put on high-energy shows, and musical theater groups give Broadway-level performances. There are also variety shows that showcase the talents of singers and dancers.
The city draws elite chefs from all over the world. You can find restaurants owned by Gordon Ramsay and Joel Robuchon in addition to well-known American talents like Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay.
If you're more interested in eating massive amounts rather than having a five-star experience, you can eat your heart out at any one of the buffets in town. Most casinos feature a buffet, where you'll find fresh seafood, international dishes, American favorites, and a wide selection of desserts.
The casinos are a main part of the glitter in Las Vegas. They're conveniently located together on or near Las Vegas Boulevard, otherwise known as The Strip. There are over 30 casinos that have slot machines, poker rooms, card tables, sports betting, and keno. They never close, so anytime can be a good time for gambling.The Las Vegas Strip
Each hotel and casino along The Strip has its own theme, ranging from Egyptian to Parisian. They provide non-stop entertainment and all have restaurants, bars, theaters, clubs, and shops, in addition to gaming options.Hoover Dam
The dam is 30 miles away from the city. It was largest concrete structure in the world upon its completion in 1936. You can stop by the visitor's center to learn more, and you can take a tour to get a glimpse of the dam's interior.
Most days in Las Vegas are dry and sunny, as it sits in the Mojave Desert. Highs vary from the upper 50s in the winter to the 100s in the summer. Lows fall to the upper 30s in the colder months, and in the summer, they only drop to about 80 degrees. Since the summer is so hot, a lot of people like to visit during the other seasons. New Year's Eve is a huge celebration, with fireworks going off at midnight and thousands of people filling the streets.
Las Vegas is located along Interstate 15, connecting it with Los Angeles to the southwest and Salt Lake City to the northeast. If you drive your private car or rental car to the city, you'll find plenty of parking along the Strip and near other major attractions. You can fly into McCarran International Airport and pick up a rental there or rent from an agency in adjacent Henderson.
