Recently students from Alabaster's Kingwood Christian School and Walker County's Parrish Elementary participated in a hands-on aquatic education course, Creek Kids, at Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park in McCalla, Ala. The Creek Kids program is a partnership between the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) and Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park.
Designed by WFF to fit into the Alabama Course of Study for Science, the Creek Kids program allows many students the type of hands-on environmental learning that an indoor classroom cannot provide.
Parrish sixth grade teacher Susie Lemon said the best way for children to learn about aquatic education is to get them wet in Alabama's creeks. "We love this trip because it's a relaxing day outdoors and the kids learn how to make a difference for the environment."
During their visit, the students learned about the importance of watershed ecology including how dams and pollution affect stream-fish populations. The thrill of netting various aquatic species by wading into Mud Creek and viewing microorganisms under a microscope were Creek Kids highlights for many of the students. Students also were treated to an overview of the watershed via a train ride, and visited the Iron and Steel Museum of Alabama to learn about Alabama's iron industry.
Tracy Thompson, a fifth grade teacher at Kingwood, said her fifth grade students had an amazing adventure at Tannehill. "We thank the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division for such a great learning experience," she said.
The Creek Kids program is $5 per student. Public schools with 40 percent or more of their students eligible for free or reduced lunches may have their fees waived. Assistance with some transportation costs also may be provided. Funding for Creek Kids comes from the sale of "Take a Kid Fishing" car tags. To plan a Creek Kids field trip for your students, contact Brenda Morrison at 205-477-6301 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Patrol, Marine Resources, State Parks, State Lands, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

The share market has hit a six-year high as a positive investor response to a generous payout from Coles owner Wesfarmers outweighed a sharp fall in BHP Billiton shares.
BHP experienced its sharpest fall since March, with investors disappointed the mining giant did not return funds to them amid plans to demerge its smaller mining assets.
There had been expectations of a return of around $US1 billion from BHP, in the form of a share buyback or special dividend.
Lonsec senior client adviser Michael Heffernan said healthy dividends from many companies releasing earnings reports had boosted investor sentiment to overcome BHP's fall.
A standout performer was Wesfarmers, which announced it will give an extra $1.1 billion back to shareholders after lifting full year profit 19 per cent to $2.69 billion.
"People love dividends," Mr Heffernan said.
"That has probably been one of the major reasons why the market defied the dampener by BHP."
BHP dropped $1.55, or 3.9 per cent, to $38.13, while Wesfarmers gained $1.66, or 3.8 per cent, to $45.66.
Among other miners, Rio Tinto fell 42 cents to $65.98 and Fortescue Metals dropped seven cents to $4.55 despite a 56 per cent rise in full year profit to $US2.7 billion.
Among the major banks, ANZ lifted 45 cents to $33.27, National Australia Bank rose 31 cents to $34.24, Commonwealth Bank added 31 cents to $80.30 and Westpac gained 10 cents to $34.88.
Coca-Cola Amatil shares lost 20 cents to $9.54 after the beverages supplier suffered a 16 per cent drop in half year profit and warned of tough trading conditions for the rest of 2014.
QBE Insurance recovered from Tuesday's fall, adding 60 cents to $11.31.
* On Wednesday, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was up 10.8 points, or 0.19 per cent, at 5,634.6 points, according to preliminary closing data.
* The broader All Ordinaries index was up 10.8 points, or 0.19 per cent, at 5,629.2 points.
* The September share price index futures contract was 23 points higher at 5,606 points, with 30,478 contracts traded.
* National turnover was 2.35 billion securities worth $5.95 billion.
* The price of gold in Sydney at 1700 AEST was $US1,295.80 per fine ounce, down $US3.40 on Tuesday's price of $US1,299.20.

GSA Awards Local Telecommunications Services Contracts in Philadelphia
February 27, 2001
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON - The U.S. General Services Administration today awarded two contracts to provide local telecommunications services to federal government agencies in Philadelphia under its Metropolitan Area Acquisition Program. The combined value for government business in estimated to be $296 million over 8 years - 4 base years plus 4 one-year options.
GSA selected AT&T and WinStar Communications, Inc. to provide services in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia MAA originating and terminating service area includes the counties of Philadelphia and Delaware (located in Pennsylvania) and the cities of Camden and Trenton (located in New Jersey).
These awards are the latest results of the Metropolitan Area Acquisition (MAA) Program, which is managed by GSA's Federal Technology Service (FTS). The contracts in Philadelphia bring the total number of cities served by the program to 20, and complete the second phase of the program. The third phase, involving procurements for seven additional cities, is currently underway. The Philadelphia contracts provide for standard voice service as well as switched data service and dedicated transmission service offerings. The scope of the contracts allow for the addition of new and leading edge services, as they become available in the commercial marketplace.
The contracts in Philadelphia have an estimated value of $296 million over 8 years, with new local service prices that will potentially save the government over $80 million when compared with standard business rates, and close to $66 million when compared with rates currently available to the government. This is an approximately 62% saving over standard business rates and 57% over current government rates. For basic analog voice services, the offered prices will potentially save the government nearly $41 million when compared to standard business rates and more than $27 million when compared to currently available prices.
"We are pleased that we have been able to conclude Phase 2 of the MAA program so successfully," stated FTS Commissioner Sandra Bates. "All told, the contracts awarded in the twenty MAA cities to date have the potential to save federal government telecommunications users over $1 billion compared to current costs. We look forward to extending similar savings to even more government users through Phase 3 of the program."
The MAA program was conceived shortly after the Telecommunications Act of 1996 in order to bring to the local service environment the same benefits of competition that had been seen in the long distance market since 1984. As part of its program strategy, FTS has incorporated competition-enhancing terms in its MAA and FTS2001 (long distance) telecommunications contracts, including price management mechanisms and technology refreshment provisions. These are meant to ensure not only that the prices paid by federal government users remain current with the best available in the marketplace, but that the types of services offered remain current with industry trends as well.
For more MAA program specific information, please refer to the GSA FTS website at http://www.gsa.gov/maa, or call the MAA Program Director, Joseph Romanelli at (703) 306-6650.

Gutierrez left with five points to show for a testing weekend. Qualifying 11th because he had to abort what looked like a pole lap due to yellow flags, he finished Race 1 tenth and earned a further two points for setting the fastest lap. On Sunday he fought his way up to seventh.
Lotus GP sits second in the team standings on 128 points, behind leaders DAMS on 157.
James Calado: "Race 1 I started from pole and was quite aggressive with Fabio [Leimer] at the start. I was leading when I came into the pits but Fabio was right behind, and we left side-by-side. Giedo [van der Garde] only changed two tyres, which is how he managed to move ahead in the stops. We should look at that for Monaco because there's obviously a lot of time to be found. From there I just tried to save my tyres, and had to make do with second. Race 2 I made a good start but then got boxed in at Turn 1, where Giedo and Esteban got past. Then I made it past him and Max Chilton too. I got right up behind Davide [Valsecchi] at the end there, but I couldn't get past and seize third because the car was sliding around too much while I was in his slipstream and I was hitting the rev limiter at the end of the straight."
Esteban Gutierrez: "The result is not ideal, and our qualifying position affected us a lot. But I did my best. I enjoyed the latter stages of Race 2 as I fought with Giedo [van der Garde], but unfortunately I wasn't able to take sixth. Five points from this weekend is better than nothing, but I know we are capable of a lot more. We'll keep pushing!"

Model Mutiny Modeling Event
Model Mutiny LLC
Sunday, February 10, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Aspiring Models
If you are reading this, then you're half way there! You have just stumbled upon what could be your foot into the world of what we like to call "Eccentric Modeling." Known to many as alternative modeling or even tattoo modeling… However, you don't have to have ink to be a part of our seminar or to be considered an Eccentric Model, but you do have to be dedicated to modeling eccentric styles such as punk, rockabilly, grunge, goth, pin up, or whatever your creative mind comes up with. We don't put limits on our creative potential as artist.
Our seminar is dedicated to helping you create or enhance your portfolio in this genre of modeling. We afford you an 8 hour day in a prime location, and include master photographers, professional posing coach, and esteemed wardrobe designers. Your fee also guarantees you at least one hair & makeup style and 3-5 photos from every photographer you shoot with during the seminar! That could be up to 50 professionally edited photos to add to your portfolio. This is easily a $3000 value!
In addition to what was already mentioned…those who shine can have the opportunity of having their photos published in leading publications and web sites. But it doesn't stop there! You, yes you… can be asked by any one of our master photographers to model for their own personal projects, or even gain paid assignments with their existing or future clients! Where else can you find such incredible services all in one place? We dare to say NO WHERE!
To drive our message home, Model Mutiny takes the hustle away from building a QUALITY portfolio. We do this by saving you the money, time, and effort associated with haggling with would-be photographers for "trade for print" photo shoots. Why risk the chance of getting subpar photos from a photographer who may never even email you the photos? Why take a year, 2 years, or even more, jumping from photographer to photographer hoping to get enough photos to perhaps build a portfolio when you can be well on your way after just 8 hours with the professional team of Model Mutiny? Model Mutiny is your #1 source and anything else is just a waste of your time.
Hair & Makeup Artists
We all know as artists, in order to book work you must have a killer portfolio. As a photographer the first thing I ask any hair or makeup artist desiring to work with me is to see their portfolio. In fact, that's the first thing anyone in the industry is going to want to see. Your work must speak for itself. But what if you don't have a killer portfolio? What if you know you have what it takes, but life, time, and money have gotten in the way of developing the portfolio you need to book work? It's no secret that any artist has to devote their time and effort working for free to get established. What if I said Model Mutiny can ease the burden of developing your portfolio and put you to work with industry leaders before you thought was possible?
Your registration with Model Mutiny offers you a few things to get you on the right track. For a nominal fee you get the opportunity to show off your creative skills as a makeup artist or hair stylist in our eccentric modeling seminar, you get to network with master photographers who have already proven themselves in the fashion industry, work with esteemed wardrobe designers, and even get the chance to make a little extra money during the seminar. How? Your entrance fee obligates you to provide at least one look to every model you style. Additional looks are at your discretion and for an extra fee paid to you directly from the model. We also encourage tipping!
What else do we offer you? Well, if you show some awesome skills you can be offered paid work on future projects or even unpaid internships with our staff! That's experience you can't look away from. To top it off, my own professional MUAH will be there to provide tips and coach you along during the seminar to ensure you gain tools you will use the rest of your career!
Enrollment in our seminar also gains you the chance to have your work displayed to the world if the model you style is published! How many people get to say their work is published? You could be one of them!
This is a perfect chance to add eccentric styles to your portfolio and prove you have what it takes to perform in the most creative area of modeling.
A rain check for the next event is offered for cancellations outside of 72 hours of event. Rain checks within 72 hours are provided at our discretion. There are no refunds or rain checks for cancellations within 24 hours of the event.
***Discounted ticket prices do not forward to next event. You will be responsible for full ticket purchase before being able to attend the next event.

Welcome visitors • If you are in the vicinity of downtown Salt Lake City today, and you hear someone with a pronounced Boston accent, or see someone in a yellow T-shirt with a picture of an angry shock of wheat, please be friendly. (Not that you wouldn't be anyway.) Our city is fortunate to be the host of some of the second and third round matches in one of the world's foremost sporting events: March Madness. The NCAA men's basketball tournament is not exactly the Winter Olympics, in terms of worldwide interest, financial impact and, certainly, time. But it is a great way to draw visitors, and their money, to see a city they just might like to come back to, or tell their friends about. And the excitement might help, just a little bit, to make up for the fact that there are no Utah teams in the Big Dance this year.
Heroic beavers • Seeing as how we dirty humans aren't always able to protect the beauty and utility of our natural surroundings, it is good to hear that, sometimes, wildlife can look out for itself. For the third time in as many years, a Chevron pipeline has sprung a leak and threatened a Utah waterway. This time, it was the Willard Bay State Park at the northeastern edge of the Great Salt Lake. State and corporate workers were quick to respond, but the damage done was apparently minimized by the fact that the first place the thousands of gallons of fugitive diesel fuel spilled was into a location that had already been dammed up by some industrious beavers. Now, in addition to cleaning up the bay, the two-legged Utahns are cleaning up the beavers. It's the least they could do.
Private emails • In American politics, self-described conservatives sometimes find themselves referred to as backward-looking, behind-the-times Luddites. Not so Utah's Sen. Mike Lee, at least as it concerns a bill he is cosponsoring with one of the chamber's more liberal members, Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy. The bill would amend the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to specify that law enforcement agents must get a warrant before looking through anyone's email account. Email was something that didn't exist in 1986, when the current law was adopted. Since then, though, it has become something that FBI agents and others increasingly want to search. But it has also become not only a means of communication for most of us, but also a repository of personal data, ranging from family photos to bank account numbers. A law that keeps up with the times is a good idea, no matter who proposes it. Reaching across the aisle to promote this bill is something Lee should be proud to email home about.

Jared Leto on Miley Cyrus' VMA performance
Listen to Thirty Seconds to Mars on iHeartRadio
Jared Leto says he's not sure why people are making such a fuss over Miley Cyrus' performance at this past weekend's Video Music Awards.
The Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman tells "Billboard" the annual MTV ceremony isn't the Kennedy Center Honors. He argues that "it's supposed to be out there and wild and titillating."
But Leto adds that he finds it interesting just how shocked people were after Miley's show. He says there are probably more shocking things that they could worry about, like the raves their kids are going to or the video games they're playing.
Leto got to see the Miley's infamous performance first-hand. He was at the VMAs to introduce Kanye West, and also wound up winning a Moonman for Best Rock Video during the pre-show.

Incoming freshmen will be welcomed officially to the University of South Carolina campus this week. But hundreds of these new students were initiated in the garnet way during the past few weeks of summer.
The Carolina Alumni Association and Gamecock Clubs hosted more than a dozen "freshmen send-off" events all across the country. The events were held in restaurants and alums' homes in locations as near as Charleston and as far as Fort Worth, Texas.
While the locations were vastly different, the Gamecock spirit was all the same as you'll see in this video.

Nutriworks Acti-Tape Green has its origins in therapeutic sports tapes for rehabilitation of injuries, providing support to joints and muscles, and enhancing sports performance without affecting range of motion. Nutriworks Acti-Tape Green was initially developed in Japan in the late 1970's. Nowadays aside from Nutriworks Acti-Tape Green's application in rehabilitation, newer methodologies have been developed that address benefits associated with preventive health maintenance, reducing edema and pain relief.Nutriworks Acti-Tape Green may help you with: Alleviation of pain Relaxing overused and overextended muscles Repositioning of joints Reducing edema, inflammation and discomfort Supporting rehabilitation from muscular injuries Features of Nutriworks Acti-Tape Green Water resistant - can withstand showers and athletic activity like swimming Allows muscles to perform a full range of motion, easily and comfortably Highly breathable - efficiently channels air and sweat to maintain skin integrity Latex free, hypoallergenic Effective for 3-4 days About Acti-Tape Acti-Tape has its origins in therapeutic sports tapes for rehabilitation of injuries, providing support to joints and muscles, and enhancing sports performance without affecting range of motion. The concept was initially developed in Japan in the late 1970's. Nowadays aside from application in rehabilitation, newer methodologies have been developed that address benefits associated with preventive health maintenance, reducing edema and pain relief. The methodology is referred to by different names such as neuromuscular taping, sports taping or medical taping. Medical taping has helped countless athletes, professional and amateur alike, maintain physical excellence even when subject to extremely harsh training regimes and intensive sports events. It is increasingly common during sporting events to see participants using these colorful sports tapes applied to joints and muscles. This increased visibility is resulting in the broader adoption of such taping methods amongst people who exercise regularly and who may feel the need on occasion for extra support. Acti-Tape is a high-quality therapeutic sports tape from Nutriworks that is manufactured in accordance to strict quality (GMP & ISO) and hygiene standards. Acti-Tape is a highly elastic, non-latex body surgical tape made of thin porous cotton fabric with an adhesive. Lines of adhesive are applied in a special wave-like pattern with areas between these waves that are adhesive-free. This alternating pattern allows for greater air permeability and the tape is very comfortable to wear. It provides a new option in muscle rehabilitation and pain relief for everyone. All this along with the added option of making a very fashionable and colorful athletic statement! Who can use Acti-Tape? Everyone can use and benefit from it! Sports tapes like Acti-Tape are now widely used by professional athletes, trainers, podiatrists and orthopedists worldwide. Since it is non-medicated, pregnant women, children, office workers and the elderly who need muscle support and protection will also find it useful. Concurrent application whilst undergoing physical therapy may optimize the effect of such therapy. It may be applied to assist with relief of lower back strain/pain, subluxation, disc herniation, knee conditions, tight hamstrings, groin injuries, rotator cuff injuries, whiplash, tennis elbow, patella tracking disorder, pre- and post-surgical edema, ankle sprains, etc. Such broad application makes Acti-Tape your best partner for your active lifestyle. Tips for application of Acti-Tape / Points to note when applying Acti-Tape Stretch of Acti-TapeWhen applying Acti-Tape, the working part (middle part of the tape) can be stretched to the maximum if required. Leave about 2cm of tape at each end un-stretched. This avoids shearing tension to the skin at the ends and consequent redness or soreness caused by that force on the skin when the tape is used for extended periods of time. Round-off the Corners before Applying Acti-TapeBefore applying Acti-Tape, use scissors to round-off the corners at each end of the tape. This makes it less easy for the tape to be accidentally peeled away or where a corner is 'rubbed' off. Technique of Applying the Tape on the SkinThe glue used on Acti-Tape is activated by body heat. The position of the tape may be adjusted initially but once in place as required, apply pressure by rubbing on the surface of the tape (avoiding lifting any corners) to ensure proper adhesion It is not recommended to re-apply/re-position the tape after this as it will not stay on firmly. Application for Supporting Joints & MusclesFor easy understanding, when Acti-Tape is used with stretch (up to maximum stretch), this application provides compression. Compression is used where stability and support of joints or muscles are required. Applications for Swelling & Pain ManagementOn the other hand, Acti-Tape can be applied with no stretch. Instead the joint (ie: bending of wrist) or body part is first flexed and the tape applied without stretch. This technique creates 'lift' to the skin surface and reduces pressure on the nerves and also creates better circulation. It is particularly good for swelling and pain management. Different Cutting TechniquesAside from taping technique, Acti-Tape is great when prepared properly using different cutting techniques. Different cutting techniques will make the application of the tape more effective. Taping EffectWhen properly taped, users will feel at least some difference very quickly especially in cases involving pain and stiffness. It normally takes 24 hours to experience a more obvious result. Different Applications & Techniques for Different Conditions & ProblemsActi-Tape can be applied for conditions / problems in joints and muscles as well as in situations issues are internal (ie: hayfever, menstrual pain). Self-Application TechniqueActi-Tape is easy to use. Users can learn self-application techniques for certain areas such as the feet, knees, legs, arms or shoulders. For application on other areas like the neck, back, back of knee, back of thigh etc, assistance of another person will be required (assisted application). PrecautionLearning how to apply Acti-Tape is not difficult. Using it properly can help with managing conditions efficiently and effectively. For long term, persistent, recurring symptoms or in the event of any uncertainty, seek proper medical advice before use. Stop use immediately in event of any allergic reaction or if excessive redness occurs. Acti-Tape's Frequently Asked Questions How to choose the right Acti-Tape for you?Getting familiar with Acti-Tape is easy. We have designed a step by step guide to show you how to apply the tape. The techniques are designed to have the maximum result with a minimum of tape used. Where is your problem located?The first important question is where exactly is your problem located. If you want to support a muscle or need support for an joint or ligament , the technique is a totally different. So a little knowledge about your body is necessary. Where is your problem located and which structure exactly?It is important to know if the problem is in the muscle, the ligament, the joint or a problem caused by an internal organ.Pain can also be a discomfort or a vague area. In case of doubt always ask a professional or visit your doctor. What are your symptoms?The second question is what kind of symptom do you suffer from. Is it pain, swelling, discomfort, instability or is your range of motion limited. Maybe it is a combination of symptoms. For each of these symptoms (or a combination) a different technique is required. History of Acti-Tape The idea for the elastic therapeutic sport tape (Kinesiology Tape) was developed by a Japanese Chiropractor who trained in the United States. The concept was conceived in the early 1970's and over time this concept has been developed into a specialized tape that aids the body in healing itself. The basic premise is that movement and maintaining activity in muscles is necessary for recovery. Various versions of tapes were developed to support muscles without restricting movement or range of motion. It was also assumed that muscles affected blood circulation. Tape that is applied on stretched skin has been found to be very useful in reducing localized swelling associated with surgery, orthopedic or sports injuries, and acute trauma. It has also been found to be beneficial in the treatment of lymph edema. The combination of technique and tape can create unique effects on different body systems by supporting the elastic qualities of body tissues such as the skin and muscles. It has been used effectively in Asia for over 20 years and was introduced in the USA in 1995. The use of elastic therapeutic sports tape (also sometimes known as kinesiology tape). has already helped countless athletes maintain physical excellence even when subject to extremely harsh training regimes and intensive sports events.

General Assembly: Statement by Ambassador Berger on the Arms Trade Treaty
(General Assembly: Statement as delivered by Ambassador Berger on the Arms Trade Treaty resolution)
"Mr. President,
Today, the Nations united here in this room acknowledged their responsibility and took action to regulate the international trade in arms. Today will enter the books of UN history as an important milestone. Facing the choice between saving lives and shying away from our common responsibility, the General Assembly with an impressive majority took the right decision, to adopt the text of the Arms Trade Treaty. We would have liked to celebrate this moment already after the final session of the final UN conference on the Arms Trade Treaty last Thursday, however as my British colleague put it at that time, it was success deferred.
Germany aligns itself with the statement made on behalf of the European Union and with the declaration delivered by Mexico on behalf of a large group of countries.
My delegation once again wishes to express its heartfelt thanks to the president of the ATT conference, Ambassador Woolcott, and his team for this tremendous effort and the firm, honest and inclusive stewardship over our proceedings. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to all those that had their respective substantial share in making the ATT process a success, notably colleagues that facilitated the process, the UN-staff and the representatives of civil society.
We have a good Treaty before us. A Treaty that includes a set of stringent prohibitions and assessment criteria, including on International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law, and provisions to prevent the risk of diversion. They send a powerful signal to the international community and will establish a strong international norm. With growing universality, it will give the unscrupulous no opportunity to pursue their illegal business.
We also welcome that the text we adopted today leaves room for future developments, both as regards arms technology as well as the implementation of its regulations.
We share other's assessment that this treaty is a carefully crafted compromise between all negotiating parties across the spectrum. While normally compromises would leave everybody equally unhappy, we sense there is widespread satisfaction. We should be grateful for the opportunity this decision now offers. This Treaty will not only benefit our but also future generations. They will hold us accountable for its proper and faithful implementation.
We have come a very long way since we started our journey, coming from very different corners. Today, we jointly pass an important milestone, but this common journey must continue, if we want to bring to fruition all our joint efforts. Germany has been very actively involved in this process since its outset, and we will continue with even more vigour when it comes to bringing this Treaty to life; firstly by pushing for its early entry into force and universality of adherence. But more importantly to expedite the swiftest possible implementation of its most important provisions, even before the entry into force. We stand ready to assist those countries that request support in setting up or improving their respective transfer control systems. This is a priority. We must join efforts in this respect.
After years of negotiations in the United Nations and many years of prior preparatory work, brave diplomacy fortunately prevailed. Today is a good day for peace and security for all people around the world."

Federal Protective Service Reform Act
Good morning Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee. I am Bob Peck, Commissioner of the Public Buildings Service. With me today is Clarence Edwards, Assistant Commissioner for the Federal Protective Service. Thank you for the opportunity to update you on our progress in improving security in GSA-owned and leased buildings and to express our concerns regarding H.R. 809. It goes almost without saying that we have no more important responsibility than providing for the security of the tenants and visitors in our buildings. As I've said before, we need to provide that security while maintaining friendly, inviting, public buildings. No easy task.
Since the heinous bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, we have tripled our annual spending on security to over $250 million per year, increased the number of Federal Protective Officers to 582 (this includes both our traditional federal police officers (FPO) and our new law enforcement security officers (LESOs), as of July 31), and doubled the number of contract guards to over 6,000.
We are also improving our security in qualitative ways that go beyond numbers. Many in our Federal Protective Service (FPS) are embracing the changes; some are not and would like to see FPS divorced from PBS and made an independent arm of GSA. We oppose that change. First, here's what our changes in FPS are all about. We started by defining the FPS mission and objective; they had not been clear before. The objective is for FPS to become the best facilities security organization in the world. The principal mission is building security, by which we mean protecting the affected facility, its tenants, visitors and their property from harm. As Assistant Commissioner Edwards, a veteran police officer and our top FPS official, says: FPS is not a police organization; it is a facility security organization with law enforcement authority.
We are changing training, job definitions and tactics to carry out this mission. We have created the new LESO position, which will become the core position in FPS. LESOs get both full law enforcement and physical security training. LESOs have full arrest authority and carry weapons. They wear police uniforms or plain clothes depending on the needs of the day. Their job is to be responsible for security in a given geographical area: to oversee physical security precautions and to deal with emergencies. LESOs are being deployed so as to extend our protective services to locations not previously covered. We already have about 79 on board, 62 of them former FPS officers or Physical Security Specialists (PSS); another 76 LESO positions are in the recruitment process. Not coincidentally, the new position starts and tops out at GS levels above where the general FPS officer position currently starts and tops out.
We have added a special 2-week FPS orientation course to the 8-week basic police training our recruits get at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia. We have also created a 4-week Physical Security Academy that is quickly becoming known governmentwide.
We have adopted the "community policing" tactics that have taken police officers out of their cars and back on the streets in cities and federal facilities around the country (often on foot, sometimes on bicycles, which we are using, too). The idea is to be out and about to deter incidents, not to wait for a 911 call after incidents have occurred. We call it "customer oriented policing" and it means our officers, whether LESOs or FPOs, will spend more time in and around the buildings we lease and operate. We expect this to yield two additional benefits: 1) our customers, who pay security surcharges that partially fund FPS (which is also supported by regular rent payments), will actually see more of our highly qualified in-house security experts, and 2) we'll be able to convert our tenants into more effective eyes and ears, alerting us to possible problems, whether malfunctioning equipment or workplace situations that pose a threat.
We have deployed a terrific new software package for use by our Physical Security Specialists and LESOs in identifying the threats against each of our locations and evaluating how to respond to those threats. It may have been the quickest and most successful single rollout of a software application I've seen in PBS.
All the experts say that intelligence is the most important weapon against those who plan violent acts. Our Criminal Investigators (CI's) have all received intelligence analysis training and are involved with highly effective liaison efforts with the federal intelligence-gathering agencies, like the FBI. We have upgraded our secure communications equipment, too. Additionally, the CI's are being trained in the new Regional Threat Assessment Methodology.
Finally, we have upgraded requirements in our contract guard contracts and put FPS officers in charge of monitoring training quality. Security guards are now required to have 100 hours of training, higher academic standard, and consistent firearms training. In all of this training and job redefinition, we are acknowledging that our security personnel are like their other PBS colleagues: there will never be enough of us to do all of the hands-on work that needs to get done; rather, PBS employees do the work that is inherently governmental and manage contractors and use technology to multiply our capacity.
Now, why do we oppose making FPS a separate arm of GSA? Principally because it would divorce security from other Federal building functions when the opposite needs to be the case: security needs to be tightly integrated into decisions about the location, design and operation of Federal buildings. Divorcing FPS would create an organizational barrier between protection experts and the PBS asset managers, planners, project managers and building managers who set PBS budgets and policies for our inventory as a whole and who oversee the day-to-day operations in our buildings. The security we provide is financed out of rent revenues collected by the Public Buildings Service from our building tenants. Those tenants understandably look directly to PBS for responses to their security questions and needs. A separate GSA security service would be confusing to them and would lead to confusion about who is responsible for what in GSA's security efforts. It is also contrary to other agency efforts to present our customers with a seamless GSA, which is capable of offering more integrated housing solutions. The relationship between FPS and PBS is like that of the U.S. Park Police and the National Park Service. The Park Police are a component of the National Park Service and not a separate bureau of the Department of the Interior. The Park Police patrol and protect properties that fall under the auspices of the Park Service, just as FPS patrols and protects properties under the auspices of the Public Buildings Service. The Department of the Interior has found, just as GSA has, that the protection function needs to be fully integrated with the other aspects of property preservation, operation and management.
In closing, I thank the Subcommittee for this opportunity to discuss security at GSA-controlled facilities. We are pleased that both the GAO and the IG recognize the significant progress we've made in improving the security of Federal buildings. We look forward to working with the Subcommittee on this issue.
This concludes my prepared statement. We would be pleased to answer any questions you may have.

He believes strongly in letting nature make the wine as much as possible, and seeks to tame the more aggressive qualities of the Sauvignon Blanc variety. His wines show the benefits of stainless steel vatting with naturally occurring yeasts. They are fermented cool rather than cold and are left of their lees for four to six months, gaining subtle but complex aromas as a result.
The Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume both originate from the Jolivet estate. The Sancerre is a composite of the three soil types in the district: calcareous clay, limestone, and flint. It is more flowery and subtle than many of its type. Pouilly-Fume, from the opposite bank of the Loire, comes from a large diversity of glacial soils and is normally more austere and minerally. View all Pascal Jolivet Wines
About LoireView a map of Loire wineries Chenin Blanc, Muscadet and Sauvignon Blanc. For reds, Cabernet Franc takes center stage but the region also has plantings of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The AC of Cremant de Loire is popular – these are the sparkling wines of the Loire, usually made with Chenin Blanc.
Notable FactsAs for which grapes you find in which regions… Starting on the Atlantic Coast and moving east - Muscadet hails from the region of the same name, within the larger Nantes district, right on the Atlantic coast. The wines are dry, citrusy and pleasant, but rarely powerful or intensely aromatic. Just inland from Nantes is Anjou-Samur, home to Savennières, an excellent source of dry Chenin Blanc. To the east is Touraine, where you'll find the popular white region of Vouvray - Chenin Blanc shines in Vouvray, which can be dry, off-dry or sweet – the majority of those found in the states are a lovely and food-friendly off-dry. In the same district, Cabernet Franc makes delicious, delicate and elegant reds from Bourguil and Chinon. Finally, in the Upper Loire area, Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé turn out Sauvignon Blancs of razor sharp acidity and minerality.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

The No. 2-ranked Cougars, who open the season Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. against Hawaii in the Smith Fieldhouse, return talent and experience at nearly every position, including All-American Taylor Sander at outside hitter.
For 2013, the Cougars bring plenty to the table, including two All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation selections, senior middle blocker Russ Lavaja and sophomore outside hitter Josue Rivera. Sophomore Jaylen Reyes started 11 games at libero last year, while senior Ryan Boyce had five starts at setter.
Only setter and libero can be seen as questions, but BYU coach Chris McGown has a match-ready player prepared to step forward in each spot.
"We at BYU enjoyed a solid 2012 year, and are again optimistic going into the 2013 season," McGown said. "We graduated several key players at opposite, middle and setter, but those that we have stepping into those roles are working hard to live up to those standards set by their predecessors."
The Cougars finished 24-7 last season, with a loss to Stanford in the MPSF semifinals. At the very least, a victory would have placed three-time national champion BYU in the NCAA Tournament with an at-large bid.
BYU holds a 31-17 series advantage against unranked for the first time Hawaii. In Provo, the Cougars have beaten the Warriors in eight consecutive matches.

Atlit is a holding camp for "illegal" immigrants in Israel in 1945. There, about 270 men and women await their future and try to recover from their past. Diamant, with infinite compassion and understanding, tells the stories of the women gathered in this place. Shayndel is a Polish Zionist who fought the Germans with a band of partisans. Leonie is a Parisian beauty. Tedi is Dutch, a strapping blond who wants only to forget. Zorah survived Auschwitz. Haunted by unspeakable memories and too many losses to bear, these young women, along with a stunning cast of supporting characters who work in or pass through Atlit, begin to find salvation in the bonds of friendship and shared experience, as they confront the challenge of re-creating themselves and discovering a way to live again.

REPORT: Chinese satellite images may show missing plane
Crews may have discovered the wreckage of a missing Malaysian airliner. CNN reports satellite images out of China might show the crash site of Flight 370. The Boeing 777 vanished from radar on Saturday while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard, including several Americans. Since then, a massive international effort has been unable to uncover any clues about the flight's fate. International authorities said yesterday that terrorism appears unlikely.

Simian Sightings
He was the first one we saw sleeping atop a bough on our arrival. We were just depositing our luggage in our room when all of a sudden there he was.
In our entire time there we spotted a family of monkeys, here you see the baby being carried on the mom's back.
He's probably used to humans shooting at him.
I spent a lot of time looking up craning my neck and using up a lot of memory space. Hubby took this pic.
He's letting it all hang out.
In the lodge we saw 2 kinds of monkeys, one more plentiful than the other.
He is very cooperative.
The little baby trying it on his own.

Mines awarded Academic Alliance Seed Fund grant from NCWIT and Microsoft Research
GOLDEN, Colo., Jan. 20, 2010 – Colorado School of Mines has been awarded $10,000 in funding from the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) Academic Alliance Seed Fund. The Seed Fund, which was founded in 2007 with capital from Microsoft Research, provides academic institutions with funding to develop initiatives to increase the participation of women in the fields of computer science and information technology.
Through an initiative titled "Recruiting Women into Computer Science through Student Collaboration in CS101," Mines will use the funding to recruit women into computer science by offering an innovative approach to instruction in its introductory computer science class. The project will investigate the use of formal learning groups as well as in-class computer games that require teamwork and cooperation among classmates. NCWIT studies show that collaborative learning can improve student-retention rates and help women gain confidence in the male-dominated field of computer science.
The Seed Fund grant will support the thesis work of Julie Krause, a computer science graduate student at Mines, who will work closely with Assistant Professor of Mathematical & Computer Sciences Irene Polycarpou, who is leading the NCWIT-funded initiative at Mines.
"The percentage of women completing bachelor's degrees in computing-related fields in the U.S. is low and declining," Polycarpou said. "An introductory-level course that is appealing to women is essential to help motivate female students to pursue a degree or continue their studies in computer science."
Currently, only 15 percent of undergraduate students enrolled in Mines' computer science program are female.
NCWIT is a national coalition of over 200 prominent corporations, academic institutions, government agencies, and non-profits working to strengthen the computing workforce and cultivate technology innovation by increasing the participation of women. NCWIT's work connects efforts to increase women's participation in technology along the entire pipeline, from K-12 and higher education through industry, academic, and entrepreneurial careers. For more information, visit www.ncwit.org.
Founded in 1874, Colorado School of Mines was established to serve the needs of the local mining industry. Today, the school has an international reputation for excellence in both engineering education and the applied sciences, with special expertise in focus areas of earth, energy and environment.

The Composers
George (Johann Carl) Antheil
Antheil was baptized Georg Carl Johann Antheil and grew up in a family of Lutheran immigrants from Ludwigswinkel, Germany. He spent most of his time living in a more peaceful environment north of Trenton, New Jersey near Washington's Crossing. Antheil was not Polish, as he claimed. [1] His father owned a local shoe store. [2] George's younger brother was Henry W. Antheil, Jr., diplomatic courier tragically killed over the Baltic Sea by the Soviets on June 14, 1940. Henry was recently recognized for his honorable service by the United States Department of State.
Antheil was "so crazy about music", said author Hugh Ford, that his mother sent him to the countryside where no pianos were available. George arranged for Barlow's Music Store in Trenton to deliver a piano to him.[3]
Starting in 1916, Antheil studied piano under Constantine von Sternberg of Philadelphia and then Ernest Bloch of New York. Here, Antheil received formal instruction in composition. In 1922, Antheil was invited by agent Martin H. Hanson to replace the injured Leo Ornstein, playing Chopin on a European tour.
Reactions to his first performances were cool at best; His technique was loud, brazen, and percussive. Critics wrote that he hit the piano rather than played it, and indeed he often injured himself by doing so. Audiences in Budapest got so restless sometimes that Antheil would pull a pistol from his jacket and lay it on the piano to make people pay attention.
