MLB announces 2012 Draft order
Astros select first; Cards, Jays each hold five of top 60 picks
By Major League Baseball | April 17, 2012 9:29 AM ET
The selection order of the First-Year Player Draft is determined by the reverse order of finish at the close of the previous championship season. For the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, compensation picks have been assigned to clubs whose Type A or Type B free agents signed with other clubs and/or to clubs that did not sign a player who was chosen in the first three rounds of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft.
The Houston Astros will have the first overall selection of the 2012 Draft, marking the third time in club history it has the top choice (previous: 1976, 1992). Four clubs have two first-round picks: the Toronto Blue Jays (17th and 22nd), the St. Louis Cardinals (19th and 23rd), the Boston Red Sox (24th and 31st), and the Milwaukee Brewers (27th and 28th). The Cardinals have five of the first 59 selections and the Blue Jays hold five of the first 60 picks.
Per the new Basic Agreement, the Draft will have 40 rounds, instead of 50. A Club may pass on its selection in any round and not forfeit its right to participate in other rounds.
As in each of the previous three years, the 2012 Draft will span three days. For day one, on June 4, MLB Network and MLB.com will provide live pick-by-pick coverage during the first round and the first compensation round. The intervals between selections will last five minutes during the first round and one minute during the compensation round.
The Draft will resume at 12 p.m. (ET) on both Tuesday, June 5, and Wednesday, June 6, via conference call from MLB headquarters in New York City. Tuesday, June 5, will cover rounds two through 15, and Wednesday, June 6, will cover rounds 16 through 40. Rounds two through 10 will have one minute between selections, and the remainder of the selections will be made without delays.
Continuing coverage at the start of day two, MLB.com will deliver exclusive live programming of the Draft's final two days, including a live pick-by-pick stream, Draft and scouting expert commentary and DraftCaster, a live interactive application that includes a searchable database of every Draft-eligible player, supplemented by statistics, scouting reports and video highlights.
Each of the 30 Major League clubs will be represented at the Draft by one of its former players and/or a member of its front office. Last year's representatives included Hall of Famers Roberto Alomar, Rod Carew, Tommy Lasorda, Gaylord Perry and Jim Rice, along with MLB executive vice president, Joe Torre, and San Diego Padres great Trevor Hoffman. The club representatives who will attend the 2012 Draft will be announced in the weeks ahead.

A response to a FOSS skeptic
Don Parris wrote a book a while back called "Penguin in the Pew." The book is an outstanding guide for nonprofits — aimed at churches, but it can apply to any other nonprofit — in the way to use Free/Open Source Software, which Don like to call "libre," but you know it's the same thing.
While the book is due for an update (I say, nudging Don . . .), I also have to confess that I've used the points the book makes to apply to the for-profit business advantages of using FOSS in a business environment. This is important to me in my work at Redwood Digital Research, where a great part of our business is to provide small businesses and home offices with FOSS solutions instead of the closed-source proprietary software they are, for the most part, forced to use.
But I digress. Don wrote a brilliant blog item this morning in crossing verbal swords with a FOSS skeptic. It starts out as follows:
"Someone I know well and admire greatly recently sent me a question about the premise of my book, 'Penguin in the Pew.' His question, I think, reflects the mindset of many who remain outside the realm of the libre software domain. It has taken me some time to get around to answering his question, but I thought I would expand on my response to him here on my blog."
And that he does, in a very complete, civil and concise way. It's definitely worth a read.
Meanwhile, I have two presentations (three if you count the UpSCALE talk I'm doing with my daughter Mimi), a tsunami of press releases and other media work to do for SCALE 10X before next weekend (not to mention studying for the LPI-1 exam), so posts are going to be a little sparse over the next two weeks; unless, of course, they're about SCALE. That could be disappointing to some and a relief to others.
But, as always, watch this space.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software at Redwood Digital Research, a consultancy that provides FOSS solutions in the small business and home office environment.)

Another great find Free Software Guy!
Now I think my "presentations" (rants, proselytizing, etc)
on Libre Software will become more intelligible if not more
politically correct.
We all will miss your offerings here Larry but we know you
are working to further the cause.
Return soon and best of luck on that LPI exam!

INTERVIEW: Otto Knows at Electric Zoo
Listen to Otto Knows on iHeartRadio
The man of a million voices - literally - Otto Knows created one of the biggest dance floor anthems of the past few years. If you've been to any festival or dance music event recently, chances are you've heard it and sang along to it.
His music has landed him on the main stages at some of the biggest festivals in the world, and this summer a spot at Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell's Departures party in Ibiza.
We got to hang out with Otto at Electric Zoo in New York City. He told us about working with Sebastian Ingrosso as a mentor (but he describes him as a brother), his hit anthem, and reveals that he has a lot of new music on the way - including a big collab! Check it out below:
Where have you been this summer in terms of touring?
I've been Europe actually, the whole summer, which has been really hectic as well. So I'm back now in the States for now, and then I go back and forth, until Christmas.
How was it being a part of Departures in Ibiza? How did you enjoy being with Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell?
It's an amazing. It's the best job in the world for me! You got everything, party people, the weather - it's outside - and it's it's a big honor to play with, you know, seven acts every week, not every week, but several times.
We [Sebastian Ingrosso & Axwell] are good friends and it's fun to do something together. And it felt like I really was a part of it, it's like seven acts a night, you know, it was super!
What has been the highlight of summer for you?
I gotta say Tomorrowland. I mean, it's just as good as everyone says it is. And, you know, to play the main stage, [with] so many people from different countries and from all over the world ... it's really, really something different me. I haven't really experienced that before. The whole production is amazing, you can't find it anywhere else.
Who has been really inspirational or like a mentor to you?
It's been Sebastian [Ingrosso], for sure. I mean, we talk every day, and share our music, kind of views. He's been my brother and I'm really happy to have him. You know, I don't think I would be here without him. So, yeah, [I] just thank him a lot!
Being the man of "Million Voices," the song is still pretty big! Did you ever think it would have such a lasting effect?
Yeah, that's me! Yeah it's still working out there. Maybe it's going to become a classic! So, yeah, I'm really happy to have done it and I'm looking forward to making more music.
Can fans expect to hear some new music soon?
Yeah, it's coming, a lot of stuff. You know, I'm just busy on a touring and everything. So, but I got track with my friend, Thomas Gold, coming out. And I got a remix for Axtone out in a couple of weeks. So, it's coming - a lot of stuff!
*Hint: He played some of his new tunes during his set, including his new remix for Axtone and a track with Deniz Koyu!
Well the touring never ends, where are you headed to next?
Next I'm going to Calgary and Miami. That's the good part of it. We [would be] really, really, really sad if the touring would stop, you know. You can see like the end of it. But I'm just happy to come, to be able what I'm doing, then continue doing what I'm doing.
Do you like touring in America?
Yes, it's kind of different. It's so easy here with the traveling and everything. But there's party people everywhere, so I'm just happy to be back here as well now.
Well, since we are at Electric Zoo. If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
A lion, you know, king of the jungle!

Prada Fall 2012
Lit by overhead neon-light strips, and with purple carpet embellished with deco-Navajo motifs underfoot, Miuccia Prada's 41-strong girl army marched out one by one with martial precision of movement, kohl-smudged eyes, and ironed hair lengthened with extensions in contrasting (but natural) shades to their own.
When they returned for their final file-past, they looked even more like a fashion battalion—all dressed as they were in subtly nuanced versions of the same unrelenting (and, unless you are a six-foot Amazon, relatively unforgiving) silhouette: a lean pant with a dainty flare cropped just above the ankle and a high-waist jacket (generally defined with a martingale-buttoned belt), topcoat, or tunic.
To extend the line, they wore platform shoes with the flare-heel profile evocative of the playful footwear that John Fluevog made for Deee-Lite's Lady Miss Kier, circa 1990, only these were lacquered with a contrast latex paint strip in a broad horizontal band. (One brief passage substituted mannish Oxford's with platform-crepe soles.)
And the models each gripped vari-scaled satchels, doctor's bags, or the daintiest minaudière-scaled purses.
This powerfully focused show opened with black pieces in the sort of thick, spongy wools favored by the Paris haute couturiers in the early sixties (as well as Persian lamb), glistening with luxe rectangular jet lozenges on revers and weighting the pant hems. The opening jacket had a bustle-pleat effect in back, and there were abstract tailcoat panels giving interest to the back of the lean 7/8 coats—Miuccia's own uniquely idiosyncratic take on the Edwardian theme that has laced the collections.
And was that repeated crystal and jet embroidery motif a Metropolis-era comet or an eye winking through clouds? A subtle nod to Elsa Schiaparelli, perhaps, the brilliant maverick Italian-born couturiere who collaborated with the surrealists and will be celebrated at the Costume Institute's exhibition later this spring, in conversation with Miuccia's own provocative, irresistible oeuvre.
Perhaps inspired by a trip through her archives, Miuccia seemed to have mined her own fashion house history for those over-scale embroideries, and also for the geometric prints and vivid color combinations. Evocative of sixties decorator David Hicks, those hexagon and lozenge designs were especially Op Art eye-popping when different motifs were used for coat, pant, purse, and shoe.
And in case you were wondering, yes, Miuccia did show skirts and dresses—over pants.
Of course, back in the showroom there will doubtless be a whole universe of options, but it is the mark of Miuccia Prada's strength that she can focus a runway show with this much acuity.

A statement needed to be made, but instead the Gold Coast only raised more questions over their AFL finals credentials without injured skipper Gary Ablett.
The battling Western Bulldogs kicked six unanswered goals in the final term to score a comfortable 13.16 (94) to 9.12 (66) win over the Suns in Cairns on Saturday.
Dual Brownlow Medallist Ablett was ruled out for the rest of the season this week after undergoing a shoulder reconstruction with his side clutching onto eighth spot.
The loss leaves the Suns' finals hopes hanging by a thread and if Essendon beat Collingwood on Sunday, they will be bounced out of the top eight.
It was also the sixth time the club has lost in six outings without their skipper.
But McKenna said it wasn't the absence of Ablett that cost them, it was the lack of intensity shown by the 22 men who took to the field at Cazaly Park.
"I don't think we had any spark from the first bounce," he said.
"In the 80-odd times that he (Ablett) has played for our football club, six times this has happened (the Suns have lost without him).
"It's very small data.
"You can throw all the different reasons why, conspiracy theories and all that sort of stuff, we just didn't win our one-on-ones."
Emerging midfielder Jack Macrae was the catalyst for the Bulldogs' win, the 19-year-old kicking two goals in a final term blitz.
His performance came a week after Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney had dumped him to the substitute bench and said the teenager had been "letting us down in some areas".
"His strengths came out in buckets tonight," McCartney said.
"I saw a batch of senior experienced players coordinate the team and just drive a standard and a way of doing things and some really exciting young players work their way through a game.
"Play the roles they were asked to do and then their talent came out at the end when the game broke open."
The Bulldogs had threatened to blow the game wide open in the first quarter, slamming home three majors in four minutes after the wasteful Suns missed three golden opportunities on goal.
The Suns needed something to stop the rot and they found it in Jaeger O'Meara (two goals, 22 disposals) in the shadows of halftime with the 20-year-old loading up from 50m out and goalling.
Charlie Dixon slotted another major for the Suns to open the second quarter, but for the next 20 minutes the two teams traded behinds before finally Tom Lynch (two goals, 16 disposals) broke the goal drought.
His superb individual effort closed the gap to just five points.
The tense battle continued in the third term before the Dogs eased to victory with the match in the balance.

LONG BEACH - Cal State Long Beach has once again been named as one of the nation's "Best Value" public universities by The Princeton Review.
Released this week, the list of the "Best Value Colleges for 2012" selected 150 institutions - 75 public and 75 private - as its best values based on surveys of administrators and students at 650 colleges and universities across the county.
The selection criteria covered factors including academics, costs of attendance and financial aid.
Cal State Long Beach was one of two California State University campuses to make the list of public institutions; the other was Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
For public universities, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill came out on top followed by the University of Virginia and New College of Florida.
For private institutions, Williams College in Boston came out on top followed by Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and Princeton University in New Jersey.
Last year, Cal State Long Beach was the only CSU campus to make the list.
"At a point in a nation when state legislatures and individual colleges and universities are going to be held to much higher federal standards, it is good for the public and our students to know that Cal State Long Beach remains a national model for higher education value," President F. King Alexander said in a statement.
The ranking, he said, "also indicates to taxpayers, consumers, students and parents that the high price tag associated with many colleges and universities nationwide has nothing to do with the quality of the educational experience being offered."
The complete lists are posted on the USA Today website at http://bestvaluecolleges.usatoday.com.

Here's yet another great one for my PowerPoint 2007 users.
Ever have a bulleted or numbered list and wish that you'd thought to put it into SmartArt from the beginning?
Well don't start kicking yourself for not thinking of it earlier and don't retype it all into a diagram. In fact, don't even start with the copy / paste thing… you really don't need any of that.
What you really need is a right-click.
Yep – that's what I said – a simple right-click will do the trick.
– First highlight the list.
– Now it's time to right-click on the list.
– You're looking for the Convert to SmartArt choice.
– A palette of choices will open, choose one. (Or, if you don't see what you want, you can always choose More SmartArt Graphics at the bottom.)
At any rate, choose a graphic that works and Presto – Change – O! You've converted your list in the "smartest" possible way that I can think of.

Travis Rice signs with Toyota
Moving beyond board sponsors
When celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Owen Wilson show up to your movie premiere, you know you're in a different realm than the average pro snowboarder. And at the level that Travis Rice has reached after his leading role in films like The Art Of Flight, which drew JT and Wilson, there are opportunities rarely found in board world. Today, Travis moved beyond his traditional action sports sponsors—Lib Tech, Quiksilver, Red Bull, Asymbol, Union, and DC—with the announcement that he just signed a deal with Toyota.
Asked about how it all came together Travis said, "It was this strange mutual thing. It was kind of like our hands met in space and clasped around each other's wrists and didn't come apart."
Really, the partnership comes as Toyota is launching its redesigned 2014 4Runner and Travis and Brain Farm Cinema are ramping up for the sequel to The Art Of Flight (rumor is a few preliminary shoots went down already last spring).
"We put a lot of abuse on vehicles, driving the Trans-Canada highway up to Alaska," Travis said. "Our trailer, when we're pulling four sleds with gear, comes in at 9,000 pounds. It's a pretty brutal road and I think we've driven it three times now with that trailer and the same truck. It was a really easy fit when we started talking about a deal with Toyota. Myself and Brain Farm, we're already Toyota users 'cause we feel it's a superior vehicle. It's just a great natural partnership."
Creating films like Brain Farm's The Art Of Flight and That's It That's All takes a ton of support, which the Toyota deal also brings to the table. To be able to make the highest-level movies and to throw out demands like "Then let's go get tons of fuel and go here!" as Brain Farm director Curt Morgan famously did in The Art Of Flight means serious backing.
"They're basically supporting us to keep it wild," Travis said.
The partnership also brings more exposure for Travis who will be part of the launch campaign for the 2014 4Runner, along with off-road driver Andy Bell.
For Travis it's all just another step along the road to delivering the most progressive backcountry snowboarding, season after season.

Alpha-linolenic acid is a kind of omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. It is similar to the omega-3 fatty acids that are in fish oil, called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Your body can change alpha-linolenic acid into EPA and DHA. Alpha-linolenic acid is found in flaxseed oil, and in canola, soy, perilla, and walnut oils.
Omega-3 fatty acids -- especially EPA and DHA -- have been shown to reduce inflammation and may help prevent chronic diseases, such as heart disease and arthritis. They may be also important for brain health and development, as well as normal growth and development.
There is good evidence that fish oil containing EPA and DHA may help treat heart disease, prevent heart attack and stroke, and slightly reduce high blood pressure. Researchers have thought that the same may be true for alpha-linolenic acid. There is evidence that may be so, although it's not as strong as it is for fish oil.
NOTE: Alpha-linolenic acid is not the same as alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant that helps the body turn glucose into energy. It can be confusing because both alpha-linolenic acid and alpha-lipoic acid are both sometimes abbreviated as ALA.
Heart Disease
One of the best ways to help prevent and treat heart disease is to eat a diet that is low in saturated and trans fats, and rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids. The Mediterranean Diet, which emphasizes whole grains, root and green vegetables, daily servings of fruit, fish and poultry, olive and canola oils, and alpha-linolenic acid (found in flaxseed oil), is an example.
There's some evidence that eating foods high in alpha-linolenic acid may help, too. One study suggests that people who eat a diet high in alpha-linolenic acid are less likely to have a fatal heart attack. In one study, women who ate high levels of alpha-linolenic acid (1.5 g per day) had a 46% lower risk of sudden cardiac death than those who ate the lowest amount of alpha-linolenic acid (about half a gram per day). Other population studies show that as people eat more foods with alpha-linolenic acid, heart disease deaths go down.
Researchers don't know whether taking alpha-linolenic acid supplements would have the same effect as eating foods rich in alpha-linolenic acid.
High Cholesterol
People who follow a Mediterranean-style diet tend to have higher HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. In addition, walnuts -- which are rich in alpha-linolenic acid -- have been shown to lower cholesterol and triglycerides in people with high cholesterol. However, studies with flaxseed oil, which is high in alpha-linolenic acid, have been mixed -- some have found that it may help lower cholesterol, while others found it didn't. Researchers don't know whether alpha-linolenic acid supplements would have the same benefits as foods with alpha-linolenic acid.
High Blood Pressure
Several studies suggest that diets or supplements rich in omega-3 fatty acids lower blood pressure slightly in people with hypertension. One population study found that eating a diet rich in alpha-linolenic acid reduced the risk of high blood pressure by about 30%.
Preliminary research suggests that omega-3 fatty acid supplements (particularly perilla seed oil, which is rich in alpha-linolenic acid) may decrease inflammation and improve lung function in some people with asthma.
Dietary sources of alpha-linolenic acid include flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, canola (rapeseed) oil, soybeans and soybean oil, pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil, perilla seed oil, tofu, walnuts, and walnut oil.
Alpha-linolenic oil is available on cooking oils, including canola oil and soybean oil, and in medicinal oils, including flaxseed oil and dietary supplements containing flaxseed oil.
Sometimes the active ingredients in products with alpha-linolenic acid can be destroyed by exposing them to air, heat, or light. Generally, look for oil bottled in light-resistant containers, refrigerated, and marked with an expiration date.
The recommended adequate intake of alpha-linolenic acid in the diet is listed below:
Amounts of alpha-linolenic acid in oils and foods vary. Flaxseeds have about 2.2 g per Tbsp.; canola oil, 1.3 g per Tbsp.; flaxseed oil, 8.5 g per Tbsp.; English walnuts, .7 g per Tbsp.
Because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications, dietary supplements should be taken only under the supervision of a knowledgeable health care provider.
Because of the risk of increased bleeding, you should stop taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements before surgery. Tell your surgeon that you have been taking the supplements.
People with diabetes or schizophrenia may not be able to convert alpha-linolenic acid to EPA and DHA, the forms the body uses more easily. They should get omega-3 fatty acids from foods rich in EPA and DHA.
Although studies have found that eating fish -- which includes omega-3 fatty acids -- regularly may reduce the risk of macular degeneration, one study of two large groups of men and women found that diets rich in ALA may increase the risk of macular degeneration. Until researchers know more, people with macular degeneration may want to get omega-3 fatty acids from sources of EPA and DHA, rather than alpha-linolenic acid.
In the same way, studies have found that fish and fish oil may protect against prostate cancer, but a few studies have seemed to show that alpha-linolenic acid was associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer. The evidence isn't clear, however. Other studies have found that flaxseed -- high in alpha-linolenic acid -- may benefit men at risk for prostate cancer. Until researchers know more, men with prostate cancer or who have a father or brother diagnosed with prostate cancer should ask their doctor before taking alpha-linolenic acid.
If you are being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use alpha-linolenic acid without first talking to your health care provider.
Blood-thinning Medications -- Omega-3 fatty acids may increase the blood-thinning effects of blood-thinning medications including warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), and aspirin, raising the risk of bleeding.
Cholesterol-lowering Medications -- Getting more omega-3 fatty acids in your diet may help a group of cholesterol-lowering medications known as statins work better. Statins include:

Figuring out how to pay for a college education can be pretty daunting. But there are lots of financial aid opportunities to be found, including some that are specifically targeted to engineering and to high school girls.
Financial assistance can mean scholarships, grants, loans, or school-based employment opportunities (like campus work-study, paid internships, and co-ops). Here are some ideas for where to look.
An online search is always a useful place to start. You'll find many sites devoted to helping college-bound students finance their education. For instance, FastWeb offers a free scholarship search. (Registration is required.) This resource will also help you search and compare colleges, as well as find jobs and internships.
The U.S. Department of Education
The Federal Student Aid program awards billions of dollars in grants, work-study, and low-interest loans to students and their families. You apply for these with one form, the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which is available in January (not before!) of the year you plan to enroll in college.
Your Own Backyard
Talk to your school counselor and teachers for ideas. Find out what engineering-related scholarships might be available through your high school. Most schools also publicize general scholarships that can be applied to engineering programs.
Your Prospective College
In addition to helping you acquire federal student aid, many colleges offer grants, scholarships, and other aid packages of their own. Be sure to check with both the engineering programs and the financial aid offices of the schools in which you're interested.
College Planning Centers
There are many resource centers dedicated to helping students obtain information that will help you plan and finance a college education. A great example is TERI, whose Web site offers valuable college planning resources and information. TERI manages college planning centers that offer one-on-one student guidance. You can find similar access programs in your state by visiting the National College Access Program Directory.
Engineering Societies and Associations
Many engineering associations offer scholarship and other aid programs. Some may focus on a particular engineering field or on a particular group of applicants (e.g., women or minorities). For example, the scholarship program of the Society of Women Engineers offers financial assistance specifically to women admitted to accredited engineering programs.
You can locate engineering organizations by doing a Web search and by checking out the Sloan Career Cornerstone Center, which offers a comprehensive list of math, science, and engineering societies and associations.

GSA Announces 1998 Per Diem Rates for Federal TravelersNew Rates More Accurate, Fair and Protect Taxpayer Interests
December 3, 1997
Contact: Bill Bearden (202)501-1231
Bill Rivers (202)208-7631
WASHINGTON, D.C.�The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced updated per diem rates for federal employees on official travel in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. The rates, which are published in the Federal Register, take effect January 1, 1998.
The federal per diem rates are based on a lodgings-plus system, whereby employees are reimbursed for the actual cost of lodging up to a set limit. In addition, they receive a fixed amount for meals and incidental expenses. The lodging limit plus the meal and incidental expenses rate for a given destination equal the maximum per diem rate employees can be paid for official travel.
This year, GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy, which is in charge of setting the rates, has made the process more efficient and accurate, resulting in per diem rates that more closely reflect current market conditions. The office used information from the American Express (AmEx) Government Travel Card and partnered with private sector experts to improve its market research and data analysis.
For instance, the agency made extensive use of 1996 AmEx travel data to better pinpoint where travelers stay and to more accurately determine travel nights. In the larger travel areas, the AmEx data allowed GSA to narrow market research to specific zip codes in locations surveyed.
Using more accurate researching techniques, the 1998 per diem rates have increased as much as $45 in some areas and decreased as much as $30 in others. The 1998 per diem rates compensate travelers fairly and protect the interest of the taxpayers.
The standard rate remains unchanged at a maximum of $ 50 for lodging and $ 30 for meals and incidental expenses.
Individual rates have been set for 447 higher-cost U.S. cities. Lodging in these locations is paid by the government up to a set limit; reimbursement for meals and incidental expenses is $ 30, $ 34, $ 38 or $ 42, depending on the location.
In addition to setting domestic per diem rates, GSA also negotiates discount rates with U.S. air carriers and with hotels and motels nationwide. For fiscal year 1998, GSA unrestricted air fares, on average, are 70 percent less than commercial rates.
GSA's per diem rates also apply to employees of certain government vendors when traveling in connection with federal contracts.
Travel per diem rates for locations outside the continental United States - Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. territories and possessions - are set by the Department of Defense. Rates for international travel are set by the State Department.
The complete list of GSA's new rates is on the World Wide Web at http://www.policyworks.gov/PERDIEM The rates also are available from Federal Information Centers at 1-800-688-9889, or, for the hearing impaired (TDD/TTY users), at 1-800-326-2996. The per diem rates will also be available on a disc upon request.

Notts Outlaws secured qualification for the semi finals of the Yorkshire Bank 40 competition with a 5-wicket win over Kent Spitfires at Canterbury.
The home side made 195 for six, a total that the Outlaws reached with ten deliveries remaining after Alex Hales (74) and Samit Patel (59) had shared in a punishing third wicket stand of 107.
Hales' performance earned him the man of the match award and he was understandably delighted. "We've had to do it the hard way really, after losing our last couple of matches," he said. "But we're in the semi final. It was a good all-round team performance but the bowlers can take a lot of credit. They way they set the game up, the y made it a much easier job for the batsmen."
Skipper Chris Read was pleased with how his side had found the necessary resolve to secure the semi final berth. "The most pleasing thing is the nature of our performance," he said. "We'd put ourselves under pressure to perform and we go away knowing that we've done and are through to a semi final."
The draw pitted Notts with a home tie against old foes, Somerset, an encounter that the Outlaws needn't fear, according to Mick Newell, the director of cricket. "We've beaten them before in 40 overs cricket and there's no reason not to be confident going into that match. Hopefully we'll have a good crowd cheering us on, now we're one step from a Lord's Final."
After twice missing their opportunity of clinching the group, with defeats against Worcestershire and Sussex, the Outlaws went into the must-win contest with an unchanged starting eleven.
In gloriously hot, sunny, conditions Kent began after winning the toss with Rob Key and Sam Northeast opening for the home side.
It took only nine deliveries for Notts to separate the pair, Samit Patel clutching on to a fierce edge to remove Northeast (2), off Gurney's bowling.
Brendan Nash joined Key and the pair were held in check until the end of the powerplay overs, with only a score of 28-1.
Key twice used his feet to lift Patel down the ground for boundaries and survived a huge scare before eventually being dismissed.
On 41 a Riki Wessels throw from the deep hit the stumps at the non-strikers end but the Kent opener was spared, only to fall in the next over as he nicked David Hussey to Chris Read.
Darren Stevens joined Nash with a need to increase the tempo but the Outlaws attack remained accurate and disciplined on a very flat surface.
The pair added 33 but both fell rather tamely, Nash (47) lofted Jake Ball to Hussey and Stevens (27) was similarly accurate in picking out Mullaney, off Patel.
Patel's left-arm spin accounted for Geraint Jones (1) as he walked across his crease and was sent on his way lbw by umpire Ian Gould.
There were then some Ball to Ball exchanges as Kent's Adam Ball came out to face his namesake, the returning Jake.
Adam batted positively in reaching 22 before clipping Shahzad to Patel in the covers.
Fabian Cowdrey, whose first six deliveries provided Steven Mullaney with the only maiden of the innings, ended on 39 not out but Kent's total looked below par.
Michael Lumb and Alex Hales began with their usual positive intent and put 42 on inside the first seven overs before they were parted.
Lumb (28), having hit five boundaries, was stumped down the leg side by Jones, standing up to Mark Davies.
The same combination also accounted for James Taylor, caught attempting a cut shot.
Patel and Hales rotated the strike efficiently and without alarm as the opener passed fifty for the fifth time in this season's competition (55 balls 3x4).
His partner hit the first maximum of the day, hoisting Adam Riley over the ropes at long on, on the way to reaching his own half century (60 balls 4x4, 1x6).
The pair added 107 in 22 overs to take Notts to within 32 of the finishing line but Patel then perished in the batting powerplay, lofting Tredwell into the hands of sub fielder Ben Harmison.
Hussey joined Hales to take Notts close but then the opener succumbed to an accurate throw from the deep to depart run out for an excellent 74.
Riki Wessels made a quick nine but holed out with a boundary needed – and it was left to Hussey (19 not out) to hit a straight six to kickstart the celebrations in the away dressing room.

A Christmas Miracle--It's More Than Just a Teddy Bear
He wanted to get her a Christmas gift that would be the most special gift EVER for his fiancee. She had a teddy bear growing up that was very important to her. Whitey was given to her as a gift during her mother's baby shower for Jess, so he is technically older than she is! When he began this venture, Whitey was in two pieces (his head ripped off) and missing an ear, his nose, both eyes, and not to mention half of his stuffing was gone. So, he took him to the Secaucus Doll and Teddy Bear Hospital, and after a week, they were able to restore him to his original glory. Now comes the moment that she sees her special Christmas Gift

GCN Exclusive Video: Josh Duhamel & Julianne Hough Talks "Safe Haven"
Gearing up for the big February 14th release date, "Safe Haven" stars Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough sat down with Y100 Miami to talk about their latest flick.
Joined by author Nicholas Sparks, the "Romantics" hunk and the "Footloose" flirt discussed what initially drew them to the movie.
Josh began, "For me it was a number of things. It was mostly the story. I love the story that Nicholas wrote. It felt a little more dangerous from some of the stuff I've seen from him before. [I always thought] if I ever had the opportunity to do something like this I wanted it to be a little bit different and this definitely was that."
Julianne added, "I've been a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks for as long as I can remember so to be a part of one of his book adaptations and a film is just a huge opportunity. It's so far removed from anything that I've done in the past. I also like the fact that [my character] is a fighter and I can relate to that. I like that aspect."
Given the romantic flavor of the film, Josh shared his mushiest moment with bride Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson- "Oh boy… I would say two weeks ago I took my wife to Sizzler. It was beautiful," he joked.
Miss Hough also chimed in to sing the praises of her boyfriend Ryan Seacrest- "He just sent me flowers to my hotel room last night when I got in they were there saying 'Home stretch. See you soon.'"
Once he's done with the press tour, Duhamel knows exactly what he's looking forward- "The first thing I'm gonna do when I get home? It's not good for TV."
And of course, all three of them had predictions for the SuperBowl this weekend. Josh declared, "I'm gonna go with the Ravens. I think that defense had two weeks to prepare and I think they're gonna do it."
However both Julianne and Nicholas are rooting for the San Francisco 49ers.

Sheri - from Olathe, KS
Yes, you can freeze spritz cookie dough, however, to keep your dough fresh for longer, wrap dough very tightly with several layers of plastic wrap. This will keep odors from absorbing into the dough as well as keep the dough from drying out.
Spritz cookies contain eggs (as do many cookie recipes) so defrosting them slowly is important. Take them out of the freezer and put them into the refrigerator 24 hours in advance. Store each batch separately so the freezing and defrosting time is shorter, also keeping your dough safe.

The Best Political Nonfiction Books Ever
First appearance: Detective Comics #400, June 1970, by Frank Robbins and Neal Adams
Man-Bat was once scientist Dr. Kirk Langstrom, who created a bat-extract formula to give himself sonar, in order to compensate for his deafness. Things went awry, as they do, and instead he turned himself into a monstrous half-man/half-bat killer. Enthusiasts and recent moviegoers will note the striking similarity to the scientist in Spider-Man who turns himself into a monstrous half-man/half-lizard. But this is completely different, because Man-Bat has a wife. Her name is She-Bat. And a pet, Goldfish-Bat. There was once a Marvel/DC crossover in which Lizard took bat serum and Mat-Bat took lizard serum in an effort to cure each other, but they ended up as elephant-seals. Or somebody should have written that story, anyway.
Should be played by: Andy Serkis in a bat-suit. Or Robert Pattinson, for more comedic value.
First appearance: Detective Comics #267, May 1959, by Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldof
Bat-Mite is a three-foot-tall imp from another dimension who idolizes Batman and wears an ill-fitting bat costume to prove it. He has near-infinite magic powers that he uses to set challenges for Batman. He's more for a pest than a threat, really, except for that time when he destroyed the universe, and presumably Batman along with it. That was an Elseworlds story, though, so it didn't count.
Should be played by: CGI, obviously, but for the voice work I'd recommend Arnold Schwarzenegger, since Bat-Mite is unstoppable like the evil Terminator.

Pretend you're an alien anthropologist come to Earth to study humans. What do you notice most about these strange, bipedal creatures? Their glittering cities? Their fondness for chocolate? Their use of daringly creative insults during traffic jams? Maybe, but let's not forget one behavior that distinguishes humans almost more than anything else: ritual, and lots of it. No other animal participates in, invents, or performs rituals as complex and detailed as humans. But why? Our bemused alien anthropologist might benefit from new Danish research describing how ritual, using what's called "cognitive resource depletion," helps cultures pass knowledge and values down to new members.

The idea of a really good anti-aging product masquerading as a base totally intrigued me. The fact that I could get two things done at once sounded even better! Skinleya even comes with its own foundation brush, so there's no worry about putting too much product on your face, then having to wipe the excess off. In fact, you need to use just a small amount to cover your face, so this foundation will last you quite awhile.
Sisley's Skinleya has pure pigments, so you look rested, healthy and have this great luminosity to your skin. As someone who sleeps little, eats poorly and runs in heels, this is amazing! I like the way the formula makes my fine lines (must stop furrowing brow) seem to go away in seconds. The active ingredients really fight aging, keep your complexion glowing and shoo off the signs of aging.
I know nothing is going to make me look like I'm 16 again, but if I can find products that keep me looking the way I am and keep my skin healthy, I'm down!

The LEGO Movie
First the kids chimed in on it and said "It teaches a kid life lessons but in a more Lego World's way, it's funny in an odd way, and it proves anyone can be special and become a "master builder."
This has been one of the most eagerly anticipated animated flicks of the year. If you went to Legoland or a Lego store you'd see all the amazing things that can be built, but with this, you can actually see Legos come to life and move and have personalities. It's unique because everything and I mean everything is done with animated Lego's. I'm talking right down to the smoke coming out of the train to explosions.
The kid's all gave it 5 stars and were laughing quite a bit. But I say 2 and a half due to weak script and, on the print I saw, a dingy quality to the picture and the 3D. But that reason may lie in the fact that it's the first time a flick has animated little plastic pieces. So, they must still be working the bugs out of the system.
All in all you know the kids are going to love it and you'll be a hero.

Do voters want a Congress genuinely concerned about dealing with real-life issues or will they settle for a pretend version?
On Monday, August 5, the scientists at Dr. Mark Post's laboratory at the Maastricht University in the Netherlands cooked the world's most expensive hamburger. It was made from meat grown in petri dishes in his lab for an event they hoped will change the way the world sees food.
Starting with stem cells extracted from a biopsy of a cow, Post's team grew 20,000 muscle fibers over the course of three months. Each tiny, hoop-like fiber grew in an individual culture well, suspended in a gel-like growth medium.
When they were ready, the fibers were removed individually by hand, cut open and straightened out. All the fibers were pressed together to form the hamburger—biologically identical to beef, but grown in a lab rather than in a field as part of a cow. His aim was simple: to show the world that growing real, edible meat in laboratories is no longer a fantasy and that this could be a potential solution to the impacts of meat production on our environment.
Post acknowledged that it will be essential to produce a product that looks and tastes exactly the same as real meat. And if they find there is a market for cultured beef, the same methods could be used to grow other proteins such as chicken, lamb, fish or pork in the lab.
In an article by The Guardian, Dr. Post said his cultured beef was still undergoing a life-cycle analysis to work out its overall environmental impacts, but early indications were that his lab meat reduced the need for land and water by 90%, and overall energy use was cut by 70%.
Though Post's work is at its earliest stages—there are many hurdles before he can scale up the process for large-scale manufacture— he has high hopes for his product. "Twenty years from now, if you have a choice in the supermarket between two products that are identical, and they taste and feel the same and have the same price—and one is made in an environmentally friendly way with much less resources and provides food security for the population, and doesn't have any animal welfare connotations to it—the choice will be relatively easy," he said. "People will start to prefer this type of product, and then it will gradually transform meat production."
Compare Dr. Post's last sentence on people's preference for changes in food-supply product in relation to today's political climate in Washington, D.C. Everyone is concerned about what is happening in Washington, but we are gradually being transformed to a new reality.
When presented with the most direct opportunity to actually affect change through low-turnout congressional primaries, many of us apathetically rubber-stamp 95% of the incumbents with another two-year or six-year term. That has got to change if we want change.
This is not the 1990s. The challenges we confront domestically and abroad—challenges that threaten the very fabric of our republic and civil society—make the battles of 20 years ago look like child's play. As Americans, we can no longer afford to send members to Congress who act for the press release today and/or their next election fundraiser.
At the time of this writing, there are 33 Senate seats up for reelection next year and all 435 House seats. Elections will also be held for the delegates from the District of Columbia and four U.S. territories. The winners of this election will serve in the 114th United States Congress, with seats apportioned among the states based on the 2010 United States Census.
Also there will be local and state elections for governors and state legislators. Issues pertaining to debt, health care, markets and trade, Internet taxation and privacy, immigration, tax reform and infrastructure funding are just a few of the issues that will be debated at the federal, state and local level as this new election cycle starts this fall and winter.
A complete list of those running at the federal and state level can be found for the House at: http://bit.ly/Tt4WdQ and for the Senate at: http://bit.ly/A91sCJ.
The 2014 primaries will actually provide us with opportunities to express the changes we want from government. While we will be forced to deal with some of these congressional members in the general election, we are not in the general elections yet.
Now is the time for everyone to begin picking the best candidate in primaries to represent the country from all the states. It is also the time to change the Washington country club, and change the faces of both parties so the new electorates understand how we outside the "beltway" operate on a daily basis. I don't know if it is time to step back from the generic red vs. blue fight, but I do know we need to make sure that what we are looking at is indeed best for the country going forward.
That is where the beef really is! And that is a good thing.

Jimi Hendrix's ex-girlfriend forces director to re-edit new film
Listen to Jimi Hendrix on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - A new movie about the early years of late guitar hero Jimi Hendrix went back to the editing room for modifications, and the director even had to reshoot some footage after one of Hendrix's ex-girlfriends complained to the Irish Film Board, which subsidized the movie.
All Is By My Side stars rapper André Benjamin (André 3000) as Hendrix and Hayley Atwell ("Captain America: The First Avenger") as Kathy Etchingham, the woman who discovered Hendrix in London in 1966 and dated him for three years. The real Etchinham is alarmed by the way the movie came out. She recently told the New York Post's Page Six that the film is inaccurate, "ridiculous," "sexist" and "dull as dishwater." The movie debuted at the Toronto Film Festival, which ran from September 5 to 15.
According to Page Six, Etchingham first became upset after Atwell told an interviewer that she enjoyed playing a lower-class girl from Manchester, England who "swears every line and is a chain-smoking wild child from the '60s, who had a notoriously tempestuous relationship with Jimi."
In reality, Etchingham is not from Manchester and was born to what she described as a "rather prosperous Irish family." She added that a scene in which Hendrix smashes a telephone into her head was completely fabricated.
"After he went to New York and fell in with the wrong crowd, he might have started to go off the rails, but in the early days he was a fresh, clearheaded and ambitious musician," she said.
After conducting research into All is By My Side, which was written and directed by John Ridley (who wrote 12 Years a Slave and U Turn), Etchingham learned the Irish Film Board was subsidizing the film, so she wrote the Irish Minister of the Arts to complain that the movie was defaming an Irish national. She also hired an attorney in Hollywood, who convinced Ridley "to take out the defamatory bits and reshoot scenes," reported the Post.
Etchingham added, "We had a lot of fun that first year in London, and I think it's a shame that Ridley has made such a pig's ear of the story."
Ridley did not return a request for comment.

The entire list
Al Baghdadi – June 29 - 2008
Reporter: Muslims are subject to massacres as previously in Bosnia Herzegovina. Now in Iraq, Aghanistan, and Palestine. What tasks should be carried out in in your opinion?
Adnan Oktar: It is forbidden
(haram) for Muslims not to carry out their practices in unity and solidarity. Haram is a command, a ruling. So it is a religious obligation according to the Qur'an for Muslims to perform their actions in unity, in complete brotherhood, and to assemble themselves in the vicinity of a leader.Muslims are not practising this. Muslims are going to perform this duty. So this is why I am pointing out that under the leadership of Turks, in other words the Turkish nation, a Turkish Islamic Union should form. Every state should remain as national governments. Each state should act independently within its borders, but a spiritual leader should be at the head of all. Because the Christians have a Pope, a leader. It is thus necessary for Muslims to have a spiritual leader. In the event of a leader at the head of this spiritual unity, this turmoil and fitna (mischief) will terminate with ease. If in any part of the world Muslims suffer harm to even a tip of their finger so to speak, subsequently this supression will come to a halt as all Muslims will operate in unity and solidarity.But if they are partitioned into fragments, and work in parallel to a policy of divide and rule, then obviously it will be very easy to swallow small portions. However, it is impossible to gulp down a united block of the Muslim world. Muslims must carry out this religious obligation as soon as possible.
Vakit – May 28 – 2010
ERBAKAN: Islamic World Is In a Fractured State
The 19th International Muslim Communities Union Council in Beylikduzu Istanbul paved way for a speech by the General Chairman of Saadet Party, Numan Kurtulmus, who said, "The most critical solution to the supression placed on the Islamic World through global imperialism, is the termination of military tutelage regimes atop countries and total establishment of national sovereignty." The former general chairman of the now closed Refah (Prosperity) Party, Necmettin Erbakan also recalled on the "Refah-Yol (Prosperity-Path) Coalition" era , stating that his cabinet in office was the most successful.
Commenting on the partitioned state of the Islamic nations today, Erbakan said, "The Islamic World today is fractured. Several have domestic issues. Their administrations are collaborationist".
15 delegates from Islamic countries met with Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan, the leader of Milli Görüş (The National View) movement, at the 19th meeting of International Muslim Communities Union Council staged by the Economic Social Research Centre in Istanbul. 500 foreign delegates from 75 different countries and regions were met by 84 year old Erbakan...

Bean leaf beetle identification
Some locations in Iowa have many bean leaf beetles this year. After a large population of overwintering beetles, the first generation beetles are now emerging, with as many as 147 beetles in 20 sweeps from a field in Ames. Without careful attention, these beetles can be confused with other economically important beetles found in soybean. A few spotted beetles currently can be found in soybean, such as the twelvespotted lady beetle, Coleomegilla maculata; the multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis; and spotted cucumber beetle, Diabrotica undecimpunctata. Photos of the lady beetles can be found at http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/icm/2002/5-20-2002/ladybean.html
Bean leaf beetles typically are yellow and usually can be distinguished by four quadrangular, black marks on their wing covers. However, these beetles frequently are without markings on the wing covers and range from red to yellow. The most reliable character is a small, black triangle between the "neck" and wing covers. This marking is always present and distinguishs the bean leaf beetle from other beetles in soybean.

RejeX works on nearly every automotive surface! Use RejeX to seal and protect painted metal, acrylic, gel coat, fiberglass, glossy plastic and polished metal surfaces. Use it on the wheels, bodywork, headlights, and grill. Use RejeX on your boat, RV, ATV, airplane, and motorcycle. RejeX will keep your entire collection of vehicles well-protected with minimal upkeep. Remember, a blast of water is all it takes to release most contaminants from the slick finish.
RejeX is the only paint protectant you need! It lasts longer and protects better than most paint sealants. RejeX has a higher refractive index than most waxes, so it produces a deeper, richer luster. Apply a coat of RejeX and there's no need for any other wax. In fact, wax can't adhere well to RejeX's high-release finish. That's a testament to RejeX's ability to shield your vehicle from anything it encounters.
Wipe RejeX onto the paint in a thin, even coat.
Buff off RejeX with a soft, clean microfiber towel.
RejeX Paint Sealant leaves a deep, reflective shine on all paints.
If at any time you wish to remove RejeX, simply use a polish, paint cleaner or compound. RejeX does not contain the silicone oils found in some other products that contaminate paint.
RejeX contains no abrasives. Use it on glass, windshields, and clear plastics, including Eisenglass and Plexiglas. It repels water to maintain better visibility and a cleaner surface.
Applied to wheels, Rejex prevents brake dust adhesion to make future cleaning easier.
Because RejeX is a true paint sealant, it is important to properly prep the paint before applying RejeX. Polish and/or clay the vehicle to remove any imperfections or embedded dirt before applying RejeX. The finish will look cleaner, clearer, and more brilliant.
Give all your vehicles the ultimate protection against dirt and grime plus a deep shine with RejeX! The high-release polymer finish rejects contamination to keep your vehicle clean and protected.

Natalie Imbruglia Fake Nudes Gallery
Natalie Imbruglia has not yet posed for any explicitly nude material, at least none we're lucky enough to see. But here your fantasies can be realized, as you will find over a hundred fake nudes of Natalie Imbruglia that have been created by digital artists out of pure fantasy. These wonderfully imaginative fake nudes of Natalie Imbruglia range from being quite creative and realistic to downright unrealistic, but I post them all for you to decide for yourself what looks real and what does not. But remember, no matter how real or unreal they look, they are all fakes created by talented digital artists to fulfill fantasies and parody our favorite celebrities, like Natalie Imbruglia, certainly not to offend or disrespect her in any way. These pics are in no way intended to be a true representation of the activities she engages in. I hope you enjoy the collection...

Lanes of College Avenue to Close Temporarily
As the Foothills Mall progresses, construction of infrastructure and tree removal will result in several upcoming lane closures in June.
College Avenue will remain open to traffic, although lane restrictions will be in place. Typical working hours are weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.; however, work may occur outside these times or on the weekends to expedite the project.
Project dates are estimates based on favorable conditions; variances may occur due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Project updates and progress will be posted online at fcgov.com/foothillsmall.
- June 9-10: The western-most southbound lanes of College Avenue generally between West Monroe Drive to south of West Foothills Parkway will be closed during daylight hours while new curb-and-gutter is built.
- June 16-18: The eastern-most northbound lane of College Avenue roughly between Monroe Drive and Foothills Parkway will be closed during daylight hours for tree removal. As many as 235 trees will be removed from the Foothills Mall property for the next phase of the site's redevelopment; some of those trees were already removed as part of previously announced work by the developer.
As part of the demolition of part of the existing mall and perimeter buildings, the project design team for the mall and the City have worked diligently to reduce the number of trees lost through construction. Trees will be mulched and made available to a private contractor. About 300 new trees will be planted in place of the 235 trees that are being removed.
Walton Street Capital and Alberta Development Partners, owners and developers of the mall, have worked with the City's Forestry department on a tree mitigation plan for the project.
Other Construction Updates
- The east entry of the main mall including children's play area is closed. Demolition of that entrance is scheduled to begin the week of June 9.
- The College Avenue entrance to the former Corner Bakery is closed while construction of the Phase 1 building and infrastructure continues.
- Crews are preparing the new temporary entrance to the main mall building, which will be about 60 feet to the west from the existing entrance. That entrance is expected to be open the week of June 16.

Are you feeling down? Do you have difficulty getting a good night sleep? Do you lack the energy or interest to do the things you once found interesting? Depression is a state of being that can impact us physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Depression can be overcome or greatly managed, but it does take work. Psychologically, the work requires you to become increasingly mindful of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Once we are able to see, we have the option to change.

One out of four people will have a depressive episode during their lives. Some suffer from chronic depression. The best approach for chronic depression is medication and talk therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, in particular, can help the client identify, process and alter ideas and thoughts that interfere with adaptive living. Breaking through and restructuring these maladaptive thoughts can alleviate depression. This technique is a collaboration between the therapist and client, and can greatly improve the quality of one's life.

GSA and Government Executive Magazine To Co-Sponsor National Travel Conference 2000
November 19, 1999
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and Government Executive magazine will co-sponsor the National Travel Conference 2000: The Ticket to the New Millennium, October 30 - November 1, 2000 in Orlando, Florida. This is the first nationwide gathering of federal travel managers and travel industry representatives. It will focus on improving communication and interaction between federal agencies and industry.
"GSA is taking aggressive steps to improve travel management throughout the government and to encourage a collaborative approach to working with industry and the federal agencies to streamline federal travel," said Associate Administrator for GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy G. Martin Wagner.
Over 96,000 federal employees travel each workday and the federal government spends nearly $8 billion a year on official employee travel. The workshops, plenary sessions, and more than 400 vendor exhibits will provide a full range of travel-related topics, current issues, and future trends to help federal travel managers do their jobs more effectively.
The conference will provide information and policy updates to enable federal travel managers to better perform their job of managing the government's travel.
Government Executive will present its annual Travel Managers of the Year Awards at the National Travel Conference 2000. According to Government Executive Editor and President Timothy B. Clark, "The awards shine the spotlight on agencies that exemplify the best in government business travel." Clark also said that net year will bring yet more streamlining, cost savings, morale improvement and customer satisfaction in the travel arena.
A Travel Conference 2000 web site is in production, and will soon provide the latest details on conference registration and other logistics. For more information, contact Peggy DeProspero on 202-501-2826.

Resco Show Leads have been leading show dogs since 1940. They are like an invisible string, so judges can focus on the dog's performance and not the lead or the handler. Unique wax-coated cotton leads can be balled up in the hand to hide the lead and are stiff enough so that the dog will respond to a handler's tug in the show ring. For handlers that prefer a softer feel, simply place the lead in warm water to remove some of the wax coating to soften the lead.
Show Leads feature a handler loop and a unique brass clip that adjusts to pet neck size. Two sizes:

text: Posted March 3, 2013 As I said above, I would love it if the game returned to winter next season but wouldn't that be a knee-jerk reaction? The current malaise in the game can't be laid totally at summer's door neither can the NCL be blamed for all the problems. The RFL are completely unfit for purpose in the Pro & Semi-Pro levels of the game, the effects of which filter all the way down to Junior level. Most people realise this but some only come on here to continually blame the NCL and persist in preaching doom and gloom which has become repetitive and tiresome. Some regular posters have gone and others will soon follow. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
