Abbott Won't Sue to Block City NDO
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said today he will not be filing a lawsuit to have the San Antonio gay and lesbian anti discrimination ordinance declared unconstitutional, 1200 WOAI news reports.
In a statement to 1200 WOAI news, Abbott said changes to the ordinance, including removal of the so called 'word and deed clause,' has resulted in the most 'problematic language being removed.'
"We are pleased the city council heeded our advice and deleted this provision, which surely would have been grounds for a constitutional challenge," Abbott said. "We will continue to review the ordinance and monitor the situation."
The 'word and deed clause' which would have barred anybody who expressed an opinion that homosexuality is wrong from being appointed to a city board, was the clause that got many evangelical conservatives fired up. It was removed early in the debate over the measure, which passed September 5 on an 8-3 council vote.
Abbott's decision doesn't mean the new law will not face a court challenge. Several conservative groups, including the Liberty Institute, are expected to file legal challenges to the new law.

The letter titled "AARP members support health care reform" from Doug Heinlen, President, AARP Florida states that from a recent survey, 66% of Florida members support health care legislation. I recieved such a survey call from AARP. It was an electronic questioner. The initial question asked if I wanted my voice to be heard regarding health care, if yes, press a number. I pressed the requested number. That led to a second electronic voice that thanked me for my support of AARP's endeavors in the health care reform bill now before congress.

Res publica non dominetur
With the passing of legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, I was reminded of the IBM "Prodigy" ad in which he appears. "Prodigy," quite frankly, is the best tech ad ever — ever (sorry, "1984," despite Apple's ad introducing not only the Macintosh but Ridley Scott's directing prowress) — and it joins Red Hat's "Truth Happens" (QuickTime / OGG versions) as two short video pieces I show people when talking about GNU/Linux.
The ad is here on YouTube. Take a minute and 33 seconds to watch. I'll wait. You may want to keep it open in another window to refer back to it.
What occurred to me while watching Wooden tell the kid, "A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, that's teamwork" (emphasis mine), was that this quote applies not only to basketball in particular or sports in general, but specifically to those participating in making Free/Open Source Software work.
Watching the ad, then, with an eye toward how IBM addresses FOSS allowed me to watch with a new perspective. Other aspects of the ad also draw the same conclusions — pointing to the FOSS paradigm — even though all of those who instruct the lad don't impart anything that can be directly tied to FOSS.
An anthropologist tells him "Homo habalis was the first to use tools." It rings true because we are the first to use tools that we can't actually hold — the digital bits and bytes that course through our hardware and over the World Wide Web.
Harvard professor and Boston police harrassment victim Henry Louis Gates tells the boy, in what I think is the most profound English sentence in the ad, "Collecitng data is only the first step toward wisdom, but sharing data is the first step toward community." No additional commentary is needed there, and the overwhelming irony of having someone named Gates imparting something so profoundly insightful about the open source paradigm is almost too perfect.
A poet speaks: " Poetry. There's not much glory in poetry, only achievement." Replacing "poetry" with "FOSS programming" is a simple and complete fit.
Even the male narrator says, after the poet: "What he learns, we all learn. What he knows, we all benefit from." Where have we experienced that before?
Author Sylvia Nassar and actress/director Penny Marshall: Nassar says "One little thing can solve an incredibly complex problem," and who hasn't been there scripting or programming? Can I see a show of hands? I thought so. Marshall: "Everything's about timing, kid." Indeed.
Skipping over the businessman and the pilot — though the businessman does teach "constant improvement," which is a FOSS tenet — we get to the heart of the ad: The Latin teacher and the plumber — the intellectual and the worker — both stating profound truths that apply to life in general and FOSS in particular.
The Latin teacher: "Res publica non dominetur," which translates, as far as I can tell, literally to "(The) thing of the public (let) not be dominated" — more idiomatically, "Don't let something that belongs to the public get taken over by a despot" (thanks, Willy Smith, for the quote on the translation, from his more eloquent blog on the "Prodigy" ad here). Like the Gates quote, notihng to add here, however I think I'm going to add that phrase to my personal Coat of Arms.
And the plumber, with the most succinct and direct quote: "Plumbing. It's all about the tools." Which the same can be said for FOSS: It's all about the tools.
The others may or may not speak directly to the FOSS paradigm and philosophy, with the remote exception of Muhammad Ali's chiling yet inspiring two sentences: "Speak your mind. Don't back down." I'm trying to find where the guitar player, the soccer player, the astronomer and the pilot fit in, but nevertheless, it seems that seven years ago, IBM did the Free/Open Source Software community a huge favor by producing this ad.
[Thanks again to Willy Smith for his insightful blog, which not only helped me translate the Latin, but also points out better than I do the FOSS nuances of this ad.]

"Coming off our incredible 100th birthday celebration, we are thrilled to be showcasing the iconic OREO brand on this national stage," said Lisa Mann, Vice President, Cookies, Mondelez International. "We knew we wanted to kick off the next 100 years for OREO in a big way, and what better way than by bringing the long-standing disagreement of cookie versus creme to one of America's biggest television events."
The 30-second TV spot depicts a passionate disagreement of "Cookie vs. Creme" by two men seated in a quiet library. The conversation escalates into a heated scuffle, culminating in pandemonium. In addition to "Whisper Fight," a second spot is slated to air starting March 11 on major U.S. cable networks. Both spots were created by Portland-based ad agency, Wieden + Kennedy.
Throughout the campaign, OREO will continue to engage consumers in the Cookie vs. Creme disagreement through a number of digital activations, beginning with "#cookiethis/#cremethis" during the Big Game. OREO is asking its fans to check out the new OREO Instagram profile and hashtag a photo they love with #cookiethis or #cremethis. Over the course of a three-day period, OREO will select a number of photo submissions and work with a team of artists to create sculptures using the fan's favorite part of an OREO, the cookie or the creme. The sculpture creations will be photographed and uploaded to Instagram for fans to see and share.
The campaign will be supported by owned media, digital and mobile ads, search, public relations and in-store point of sale. Starting Monday, February 4th, consumers can also get involved in the "Cookie vs. Creme" conversation at select retailers across the country through a number of promotions, including texting cookie or creme to 63065 for a chance to win $100,000.
For more information on OREO and the new "Cookie vs. Creme" campaign, please visit www.OREO.com.

Main Stage Productions
Feb. 18-26 --- "The Suicide," by Nikolai Erdman, directed by Steven Pearson. Longstreet Theatre. What could possibly be subversive about an unemployed tuba player? Find out as Theatre South Carolina presents the hilarious Russian farce, "The Suicide," which, in 1928, so provoked the ire of Joseph Stalin that it was banned from public performance for most of the 20th century. Playwright Nikolai Erdman's tale takes us into the downtrodden existence of Semyon, an unemployed tubist at the end of his proverbial rope. When his wife confides to a neighbor that he may be considering suicide (he isn't), interested locals begin trying to make him a martyr for their own pet causes. He might be worth more dead than alive, but to whom? "The Suicide" explodes with lightness and humor in the darkness of this hard-hitting but zany social satire.
Apr. 15-23 --- "The Comedy of Errors," by William Shakespeare, directed by Robert Richmond. Drayton Hall. Theatre South Carolina keeps the comedy coming for its final main stage production of the season, Shakespeare's madcap romp, "The Comedy of Errors" When Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio, travel to the foreign land of Ephesus, they find themselves mistaken for two others with the same names who turn out to be their identical twins. Mix-ups lead to mayhem as the two sets of brothers and their frazzled family and friends try to sort out the mess.

Even today, people in the surrounding countries still struggle with the after effects. In the late 1990s, USC organized a team of scientists to not only study the impact of exposure to radioactivity on health and nature, but also to assist in treating those who were affected. This exhibit is a collaboration between McKissick Museum and the University Naturalist Rudy Mancke, who was a member of the USC research team.

They use their clothing as a mode of personal expression, taking great care with decisions about the combinations of skirts and scarves as well as with the creation of their mola blouses. This attention to detail along with their expert stitchery has earned this craft recognition around the world. Today, the sale of these textile arts is the second most important income source to the Kuna and examples are collected by museums around the world.

General Assembly: Statement by Ambassador Wittig on the Security Council's Annual Report and its Working Methods
(as delivered:)
"Mr. President,
The Annual Report of the Security Council discussed today also covers a period during which my country was a member of the Council.
Looking back, I will briefly touch upon three issues, based also on my experience.
The first, of course, is the long deadlock in the Council over Syria. Not only did the three double-vetoes have a terrible consequence for the Syrian people. More broadly, the failure by the Council to adequately respond to the bloodshed also begs the question whether the Security Council as we see it today still able to effectively address current and future challenges.
The Syria deadlock also put a spotlight on the role of the veto. In this context, we very much appreciate the proposal made by France to consider a code of conduct by which permanent members would refrain from using the veto in situations of atrocity crimes. This proposal deserves further discussion.
Second, the Annual Report also shows that the issues on the agenda of the Security Council have become increasingly complex, ranging from traditional issues such as peacekeeping, to cases of conflict prevention and peacebuilding. Here, the Council also deserves some credit, such as for its close engagement in the transition process in Yemen.
The Council has also come to address cross-cutting issues, such as children in armed conflict and new threats, such as climate change. We hope that the Council will continue on this track in order to remain relevant, putting to rest also the criticism of "encroachment" that we believe is unwarranted.
Lastly, a few words on the Council member's day-to-day work and the decision-making processes. It is fair to say that the Council has come a long way in improving its working methods. We tried to contribute our share. But more needs to be done.
Two issues stand out in my view: The first is that of penholdership for Security Council resolutions, which is de facto monopolized by the permanent members. But all members of the Council are fully eligible to fulfil this function and we believe that non-permanent members should also be given a fair chance to demonstrate their valuable contributions to the work of the Council.
Similarly, more transparency is needed when it comes to the distribution of the Chairmanship of Council subsidiary organs, a process again dominated by the permanent five.
Both issues were among those addressed to some extent in the various presidential notes adopted in recent years. We urge the permanent members to ensure that their commitments made in these notes are also translated into practice.
Thank you."

In this case, there are two books inscribed by Janet Flanner, who, as "Genêt," chronicled Parisian life for The New Yorker.
Genêt, the French demagogue, was sowing sedition everywhere.
Yet Genêt had "appealed" to the people "with acrimony" against the Government.
Washington's dignified restraint was interpreted as hostility, not only to Genêt, but also to "liberty."
He had found out—from Genêt, I reckon, who was with the President on the day the two chiefs met him.
"They were born in sin, the impure offspring of Genêt," wrote Fisher Ames.
Genêt was as good as ordering him to declare war on England at once.

All-American Flag Act
The All-American Flag Act was introduced in 2011 and stalled in 2012, but U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) hopes to get it moving again.
"Our bill simply says: if the government is spending tax payer dollars on American flags, they ought to be made in America," said Senator Brown.
He says the current requirement is that the materials be at least 51% American-made.
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs passed the act last Wednesday.

Anyone experienced false labour
During my pregnancy i experienced false labor for more than 2 months. It was very disturbing to an extend that when true labor came i still thought it was the false labor until my water broke. Actually i had made so many trips to the hospital that the doctor advised i just bear with it until the end. Can this labor be prevented or is there a way to slow or to stop them.
Anyone experience the same?

I had a lot of contactions when I was pregnant with my boys but but I only really thought I was going into labour once and ended up in the hospital. They monitored me and the babies for a few hours before sending me home. They were stronger contractions that I had experienced before which is why I went it but they did subside and I went back to having my "regular" contractions.
When my water broke is was such a small amount (I imagine a huge flood or something I guess ) that I wasn't sure what it actually was. I was actually heading to a doctors appointment when it happened and when I got there I told them what happened and after checking me they sent me to the hospital and 12 hours later my babies were born

I experienced false labour (aka prodromal labour) with one of my pregnancies. I called the midwife and she suggested I do an enema or drink a cod liver oil concoction. I opted out of the cod liver oil, because it would only produce diarrhea if I wasn't truly in labour, but I did an enema. It didn't work.
So I went on to have false labour for about 3 days. I found that when I was in bed, the contractions were much more intense, and when I would get up, they would settle down. I decided that I just wanted those contractions to work for me, so I stayed in bed a lot.
The contractions woke me up at 4AM one morning, and that's when I realized that I was in true labour (plus baby was posterior so the pain in my back was much more intense).
I called the midwife at about 7AM and she got to the house around 11AM. She checked me, turned baby, and held baby in place while I had a contraction to move him down into the birth canal further and "lock" him in so that he wouldn't turn again.
When she felt the intensity of that contraction, she said, "With contractions like that, you're baby will be here in an hour." Well baby arrived 2 hours later, but that's because I wasn't in a good position for pushing.
All that to say that the prodromal labour worked to my advantage and labour was fairly short. I actually remember asking the midwife if I was still in early labour when she turned the baby at 11AM. So easy until 11AM and then things got more intense.
Here's an article that discuses how to know when it's time to go to the hospital.
I also might add that I may have been ready to go into labour the first time I called the midwife, but she literally told me that if I did, she wouldn't be able to be at the birth because she had a court date that she needed to attend the next day. Emotionally, that probably impacted me so that I kind of told my body that it wasn't the right time. I also don't think that my midwife should have brought me in on her personal problems and that she shouldn't have said what she did. I think she could have handled the situation differently, but she sure was good at what she did (assisting mothers and catching babies) and it all worked out in the end.

WESTCHESTER MOUNTAIN – A crash on Highway 104, east of Exit 8 in Cumberland County, has claimed the life of a young girl.
Cumberland County RCMP responded to a call at 6:15 p.m. on Monday involving a collision between a tractor-trailer and a van. Both vehicles were travelling eastbound. The van was towing a utility trailer.
"A sheet of ice over there," Alain LeBlanc, RCMP media relations, said of road conditions at the time of the accident. "It's pretty bad."
One of the four occupants in the van, a six-year-old girl, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three other occupants in the van were taken to the Colchester East Hants Health Centre with undetermined injuries. The driver of the truck was not injured.
Eastbound traffic is being diverted onto Trunk 4 at Exit 7.
The cause of the collision is under investigation. A traffic analyst has been called to assist with the investigation.
EHS, Westchester Fire Department and the department of transportation were also called to the scene.
"The roads are extremely slippery and we're asking people to avoid the area," LeBlanc said.

Tornados fall at home to the Lions, 63-46January 3, 2009
Anna Schlobohm scores a game-high 17 points in defeat
Brevard, N.C. - Coming off a win at Virginia Intermont, the Brevard College women's basketball team put their undefeated streak at home to the test against Mars Hill College on Saturday afternoon. The Tornados fought hard, but ultimately fell to the Lions, 63-46.
For the season, the Tornados fall to 3-6, 0-2 in the South Atlantic Conference, while Mars Hill improves to 8-4, 1-0 in conference play.
Brevard scored the first points of the game at the 17:49 mark on a Millie Wharton free throw. Mars Hill went up 5-1 behind a three by Ariel Okunowo with 15:44 to play. After Anna Schlobohm drove in for a layup and made the resulting free throw, the Lions went on a 26-16 run to take a 31-20 lead into the halftime break.
Brevard shot 29.6 percent (8-27) from the field in the first half, while Mars Hill went 11-32 (34.4 percent) in building their 11 point lead. The lead was also attributed to Brevard's inability to get on the boards as Mars Hill out-rebounded the Tornados 27-11 in the first half.
Schlobohm led all scores with eight points at the break on 3-6 (50 percent) shooting. Shamia Terry and Jocelyn Williams led the Lions with six points apiece.
The Lions went up by as many as 22 points in the second half, but Schlobohm did her best to keep the Tornados in the game, recording nine of her game-high 17 points to keep pace with Mars Hill. However, the Tornados fell short in their comeback as they fell, 63-46.
Schlobohm led all scorers in the game with 17 points, while Samantha Winn recorded nine points and eight rebounds. The Lions were led by a pair with double-doubles as Jocelyn Williams (14 points-11 rebounds) and Shamia Terry (10 points-12rebounds) led the way. Ariel Okunowo also recorded 10 points for the game.
The Tornados take a day off before they host Montreat College on Monday, December 5th, with a tip-off time scheduled for 6 p.m. The Lions head home to face Newberry College on Wednesday, December 7th, with a start time of 6 p.m.

Customization is a big factor of jailbreaking and what better way to add some customization than to change the colors and fonts of your application labels? A new free jailbreak tweak called LabelEnhancer by iOS developer Fllorent0D is now available with tons of options for changing the color, shadow color, and font of your application icon labels. With the perfect combination of color choices, font choices, and wallpaper choice, you could have one rockin' iPhone.
Above are two examples of what I found to be pleasant-looking in color and font choice, but there are actually a ton of choices to choose from. All choices can be picked from the LabelEnhancer preferences pane that is located in the Settings application after you install the tweak from Cydia. The preferences pane is pretty lengthy, but we'll show it to you anyways:
First and foremost is the ability to enable and disable the tweak on demand. Under this, the preferences pane is divided into sections.
The Labels Color Section
The Labels Color section is the section of the preferences pane that controls what color the labels will appear as. The developer gives you three choices – the ability to choose from a list of predefined colors, the ability to use RGB sliders, or the ability to let the tweak choose random colors. The pre-defined colors are a limiting way to choose your color, but you can guarantee the color you want. The RGB sliders offer you a much more infinite choice of colors than the predefined colors do, however you won't be able to see what your color choice is until you respring each time. The RGB sliders include an alpha slider, which adjusts the transparency of the application labels.
The random color option will show each label as a different color. If you choose picking from a list of predefined colors, you have all of the following color choices:
- black
- dark gray
- light gray
- white
- gray
- red
- green
- blue
- cyan
- yellow
- magenta
- orange
- purple
- brown
- no labels (consider this invisible, not really a color, but it hides the labels altogether)
The Shadows Color Section
Under the Shadows Color section, you will be selecting a color for the shadow of the application icon labels. Sometimes hard to see, this shadow adds depth to the home screen. Just like the Labels Color section, you can choose between picking from a list of pre-defined colors, using RGB and alpha sliders, and using the random color function. All of these options are exactly the same as those from the Labels Color section and they list of colors you can choose from are the same too.
The Rest of the Options
Once you're done fiddling with the colors, the tweak also gives you the ability to change the font of the application icon labels and the size of the application icon labels. There are a ton of fonts to choose from and the label size is chosen with a slider – the further left you are, the smaller the labels will be and the further right you are, the larger the labels will be. After you have finished picking all your options, tapping on the "Respring to apply changes" button is necessary to save your options and have them take effect.
For all this customization in one, free jailbreak tweak, I can't help but recommend it to anyone that enjoys customizing the look of his or her home screen. Between the choice of 15 pre-defined colors and 70 fonts, it has a lot to offer. It doesn't appear to slow down the home screen at all and it does a good job of looking good when paired with a nice wallpaper. Check it out!

He was one I would have liked to see in a LF platoon for the Reds.
He was one I would have liked to see in a LF platoon for the Reds.
Talk about a flash in the pan. Lahair rode a .600 BABIP in April to an All Star appearance and then fell off the map. From May through the end of the season he hit .231/.303/.381 as a first baseman and corner outfielder.
Yeah and he k'd a ton..it wasn't a recipe for longevity.
In one of my fantasy leagues, just before the off-season started, I traded LaHair for a draft pick. Should I feel obligated to give him the pick back? I won't, but I'm just wondering.

Noob question...
I have downloaded BackTrack 4 and installed it in VMware as a hard drive installation. I'm trying to become more familiar with the OS. In the forum, I read the "If you're a Linux noob, read this thread", or most of it anyway. It's 11 pages long so I may have missed something.
When exploring BackTrack 4, it looks like Debian GNU/Linux. Is there a guide similar to Slackware Linux Essentials for Debian? I'm looking at the Debian GNU/Linux Desktop Survival Guide and it seems pretty good. Any other suggesitons?

Edit: *Please move to global off-topic
So what's your morning routine?
I wake up usually 9:30AM, take a bath, go to the kitchen and make fresh coffee
Then I sit on my desk, check my e-mails, respond to freelance requests, and take a visit to see what's up on graphicriver. I'm not very organized along the day, as I randomly check emails, make items for sale, do freelance work, read news, play electric guitar and listen some rock. It really depends on what mood I am.
And you guys?
I wake up at 12PM, LOL . And it's my alarm that wakes me up, I'd still sleep a little bit After that, just finish up my tasks(support requests) and then, whatever else I want. Watching movies/series, going out, working on new items, relaxing, etc.
9AM is my time, mostly. Starting with a coffee and checking sales $) and comments, tickets and interesting new complaints on the forums.
06:15 AM /// wake up 07:00 AM – 13:35 /// 5 days in week go to school in this period 14:00 /// Eat something 14:15 /// Check e-mail, graphicriver 15:00 /// Play video games (warzone2100 and WorldOfWarplanes) 17:00 /// watch TV 17:30 /// Studing for school 18:00 /// play accordion 19:00 /// Eat something 19:15 /// Watch TV (Weather, Breaking news) 20:00 /// Searching for some movie or checking e-mail and graphicriver 20:30 /// Studing for school 21:00 /// Watching movie 23:30 /// Go to sleep
That's my normal day!

Depression has medical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions. To address depression sometimes therapy has to explore how changes of life style impact the patient and their quality of life. There are degrees of depression and it is important to determine where this fits in the developmental life of the depressed person. Recent research suggests that approaching depression from a medical model is not enough, a multidimensional approach is best.

Thinking Skills
Imagine a classroom where . . .
A Year One student asks, "I think so too. The boy in the book thought it was a good idea to steal the dog. I would be sad if my dog was stolen. I bet the owner is sad too but we don't know because it doesn't say in the book."
A Year Six student argues, "I used to agree with you that people shouldn't be allowed to come and live in this country illegally, but I was reading an article in the paper today, and now I'm not so sure."
A Year Eleven student wonders, "I don't think this Web site is very credible. I couldn't find anything out about the school where the author supposedly got his medical degree."
Students in classrooms that emphasize thinking, seek the truth and have the skills they need to find it. The teachers in those classrooms are knowledgeable about the information and processes that help students grow into good thinkers.
Thinking Frameworks >
Educators such as Howard Gardner, Benjamin Bloom, and Robert Marzano have proposed various ways to describe the components of thinking. Read more about how these frameworks describe thinking in different ways for different purposes.
Higher-Order Thinking Skills >
To develop a deeper understanding of content, students need to be proficient at higher levels of thinking such as analysis, using knowledge, and metacognition. Learn more about these complex kinds of thinking and what they look like in primary and secondary classrooms.
Beliefs and Attitudes >
You can lead students to thinking skills, but you can't make them think. The psychologists Arthur Costa, Bena Kallick, Shari Tishman, and Ellen Langer have studied how people's emotions influence their thinking. Read about the relationships between attitudes and thinking.
Teaching Thinking >
To develop the skills and strategies necessary for deep and careful thinking, students must be engaged in projects that require critical thinking and problem solving. Learn what kinds of classroom environments and what instructional practices work best to help students develop good thinking habits.

"Duck Dynasty" Just Became the #1 __________!
It recently came out that the cast of "Duck Dynasty" got a BIG raise to the tune of $200,000 per episode (split between 20 cast members) and turns out that maybe they are worth even more!
The season 4 premiere raked in 11.8 million viewer! The stellar numbers were a series high, making it the #1 non-fiction series telecast in cable history!
Even without the moolah they earn from the TV show, the "Duck Dynasty" stars are worth approximately $83 million dollars (estimated by CelebrityNetWorth.com). Though because of their "rough around the edge" looks, they aren't always perceived as wealthy.
Jase Robertson recently told "Live with Kelly and Michael" that he was kicked out of an NYC hotel because they assumed he was homeless!

GSA Gets New Authority to Help State and Local Governments
June 27, 2008
Contact: Mike Collins, (202) 208-4220
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) received new authority to help state and local governments in purchasing homeland security equipment and services under the Local Preparedness Acquisitions Act (HB 3179) signed by President Bush on June 25, 2008.
"This is wonderful news for the American people and a big improvement to the status quo," said Acting Administrator David Bibb. "State and local governments can now take advantage of GSA's volume discounts for the supplies and services that will help keep our citizens secure."
The new law authorizes the GSA Administrator to allow state, local, and tribal governments to buy homeland security goods and services through the cooperative purchasing program. Officials will be able to use GSA's Schedule 84 to buy items such as: alarm systems, facility management systems, firefighting and rescue equipment, law enforcement and security equipment, and marine craft.
Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Jim Williams said, "GSA's ability to leverage the federal government's enormous buying power enables us to provide goods and services at best value and pass the savings on to our client agencies. Now we can pass these discounts on to state and local governments, while also allowing for enhanced security through greater interoperability possibilities across the federal, state and local environment. That's a win-win for our customers and the American taxpayers."
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? FAS Commissioner, James A. Williams, was nominated to be the Administrator of GSA on June 24, 2008.

Building contacts are designated volunteers who help assist with promoting the health, safety and well being of occupants within their building, and assisting the campus in the time of need during campus incidents/events and drills. Building contacts can be easily identified during evacuations because they will wear a florescent green safety vest with the words "building contact" on the back. They can also be identified in poorly lit situations because they will carry a green glow stick.
During an evacuation, you should exit the building and go to your assembly point. If there are any issues during the evacuation, please seek out a building contact and report those issues to them.
When it is safe to return to the building, the building contacts will blow their whistles, using three short blows. They will continue this while going around the building. This is the all-clear signal, indicating that it is safe to return to the building.
The assembly points and the campus evacuation procedure can be found online in the following locations:
If you are interested in becoming a building contact, please e-mail Michael Caraballo at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

In celebration of National Library Week (April 8-14), Belk Library will be gathering input from students, faculty, and staff about what their favorite books are. We'll be gathering entries via a form on the library's website, and then posting them on one of the library's Pinterest boards. The book that is entered the most times will be added to all the library's Kindles, so that even more people can experience it!
View ASU's Favorite Books on Pinterest
The form is open now, and we'll be accepting entries until April 14. Tell us what book has inspired you, given you joy, or taught you an important lesson.
We'll be announcing other events in celebration of National Library Week soon!
