Fired from Warner Bros on the same day, security guard D. J. Drake (Fraser) and comedy sidekick Daffy Duck are soon off around the globe rescuing the mysterious Blue Monkey Diamond from the chairman of the nefarious Acme Corporation (Martin).
Perhaps that lame pencil-it-in-for-now title is a marketing man's idea of a joke. After all, in a world awash with Bugs Bunny backpacks and Daffy Duck duvets, it's not as if the Looney Toons have ever exactly been away.
However, having earned a hiatus from their more lucrative merchandising obligations, Bugs and co. belatedly return to more active duties under the stewardship of Joe Dante, a director whose experience with Gremlins should have schooled him in the necessary brand of mischief.
And if the 'action' promised by the title ultimately - yet somehow inevitably - turns out to be a blind stumble through odd bits of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Spy Kids, children of all ages will still sieve the plot debris for the comedy gold we really came looking for.
Luckily, for those happy to root around, Back In Action is occasionally inspired. Wily E. Coyote and Marvin The Martian both score laughs in tantalising cameos, while a gravity-defying car chase in the Looneyverse is much more daring than that one from The Matrix Reloaded.
Best of all, an astonishing sequence in which Bugs, Daffy and Porky Pig leap from painting to painting in a breathless chase through the Louvre sufficiently demonstrates just how much life modern animation techniques can breathe into these timeless characters.
Viewed as individual shorts, none of the set-pieces completely misfires - even if the amusing stuff is often relegated to the fringes where Bugs and Daffy can be found bantering as of yore. Indeed, the only real bum note is struck by Steve Martin, who makes the fatal mistake of trying to compete with the cartoons. But Martin's mugging aside, the real problem here is not the component parts, but the lack of a decent engine to drive them anywhere.
While not the lame duck that the US box office might suggest, only the daffiest of fans would hail this fitfully amusing fluff as a triumphant big screen return for Warner Bros' most precious assets.

NBER Reporter: Fall 2000
Means-Tested Transfer Programs in the United States
The NBER held a conference on "Means-Tested Transfer Programs in the United States" on May 11 and 12 in Cambridge. Robert A. Moffitt, NBER and Johns Hopkins University, organized the following program:
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, established in 1996, replaced what previously was called the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. TANF, like AFDC, primarily serves low-income single mothers and has as its central purpose the provision of cash support. The TANF program is distinguished from AFDC by strong work requirements and by time limits on receipt of benefits. Moffitt reviews the rules of the TANF program and discusses the research that has been conducted on it and on AFDC.
Currie explains that the U.S. government operates a wide variety of food and nutrition programs (FANPs) that reach an estimated one out of every five Americans every day. Her review focuses on the three largest programs: the Food Stamp Program; the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children; and the National School Lunch Program. Some of the issues she raises concern the role of FANPs in an era when obesity presents a serious health problem; the effectiveness of FANPs as safety net programs; the value of in-kind versus cash benefits; and the likely effects of welfare reform on FANP participation.
Gruber examines the history, rules, and economic implications of the Medicaid program. He begins with a detailed overview of how the program works, and then provides information on spending patterns and on who is covered and eligible. Next he reviews the economic issues involved in studying the Medicaid program: assessing its impacts on insurance coverage (public and private), health, labor supply, family structure, and savings. He follows this with a review of the empirical literature on each of these topics. Gruber concludes with a discussion of the policy issues and unanswered questions surrounding the Medicaid program.
The passage of the Workforce Investment Act in 1998 reaffirmed U.S. policymakers' commitment to reshaping and upgrading the skills and employment prospects of the nation's low-income, disabled, and displaced workers via publicly subsidized employment and training programs. While the orientation and goals of U.S. training policy have shifted frequently over the last 40 years, the menu of services provided to these disadvantaged groups has not changed very much. LaLonde examines the history of such programs, shows how policy objectives have shifted, and describes both the services subsidized by these programs and their users. In addition, he surveys the contributions of the literature to the field of program evaluation. Although LaLonde finds that economically disadvantaged youths have benefited little from these programs, his evidence for adults -- especially adult women -- is much different. These programs not only appear to consistently raise the earnings of adult women, but their internal rates of return also may be quite high relative to their typically low costs.
Child care and early education subsidies are an important part of government efforts to increase economic independence and improve development of children in low-income families in the United States. Blau describes the main subsidy programs in the United States, discusses economic issues that arise in designing such programs and evaluating their effects, and surveys evidence on the effects of the programs. All child-care and early education subsidies affect both work incentives and inputs to child development. But a subsidy designed specifically to achieve one of these policy goals usually will be relatively ineffective at accomplishing the other goal. Blau finds that child-care subsidies that reduce the effective price to parents of all purchased child care, regardless of the type and location of care, cause the employment rate of mothers of young children to increase. But the magnitude of the effect is uncertain. The most reliable evidence suggests that the effect is fairly small, but the range of estimates in the literature is quite large. The three main difficulties encountered in research on this issue are in finding appropriate control groups, accounting for the wide prevalence of unpaid child-care arrangements, and identifying the effect of the price of child care.
Olsen analyzes the justifications that have been offered for housing subsidies to low-income households and their implications for the evaluation and design of housing programs. He also describes the evolution of the rules regarding operation of the major housing programs for low-income households in the United States, and summarizes and appraises the evidence on the major effects of these programs. Olsen specifically considers the effects of these programs on: housing occupied by recipients of the subsidy; their consumption of other goods; the labor supply of recipients; the distribution of benefits among recipients and all eligible households; the types of neighborhoods in which subsidized households live; relationships with neighbors; and the cost-effectiveness of alternative methods for delivering housing assistance.
Burkhauser and Daly provide an overview of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, a means-tested program that provides cash payments to the elderly, blind, and disabled. Begun in 1974, SSI is now one of the largest federal government means-tested programs, with over 6.6 million recipients in 1998. While it once primarily served an aged population, the majority of SSI recipients now are working-age adults and children with disabilities. To better understand why SSI grew, why the composition of SSI recipients changed, and how SSI is likely to evolve, the authors study SSI program rules and the behavioral responses they induce, placing each in the context of the broader social welfare system. After describing the program's eligibility criteria and benefit structure, the authors show that there continues to be substantial variation among states in both allowances and benefits. They then review trends in SSI growth and consider how changes in eligibility criteria, outreach efforts by the Social Security Administration and state governments, local economic conditions, and the generosity of SSI benefits relative to other programs have affected that growth. Finally, Burkhauser and Daly consider the role of SSI in protecting the economic well-being of low-income populations, discuss how recent changes in welfare policy are likely to affect SSI caseloads, summarize their findings, and discuss areas for future research.
Child support is a private transfer that is an integral part of the means-tested public transfer system. Support payments generally lower the budget costs of welfare as well the incentives for parents to participate. The Child Support Enforcement (CSE) program, which establishes and enforces support obligations, also affects the incentives of the non-custodial parent donors and ultimately the distribution of incomes. While not formally income-tested, CSE still targets low-income families because so many custodial families are poor. Lerman and Sorenson review the history of the CSE program, the economic rationale for the government's role, and trends in support awards and payments. The authors also examine the importance of child support to low-income families; the capacity of noncustodial parents to pay child support; trends in costs, financing, and effectiveness of the CSE program; the effects of child support on behavior; equity issues in child support; and proposals for reform. Despite efficiency gains in the CSE program, especially in establishing paternity, the authors find that a shift in the composition of cases has offset these improvements, causing support payments per custodial mother to rise only modestly in real terms.
Killingsworth reviews wage subsidies, which are often seen as a macroeconomic stabilization tool or an antipoverty measure (or both). Marginal-employment subsidies, paid to employers who increase their employment, are more cost-effective than subsidies paid for all employment: the former policy does not subsidize workers who would have been employed even without a subsidy. "Targeted" subsidies, paid to employers for hiring disadvantaged workers, have been only modestly successful precisely because workers must identify themselves as disadvantaged (and thus possibly undermine their longevity with a particular employer) to qualify for subsidization. Recently, much attention has been paid to subsidies for actual or prospective employees. In the United States, subsidies paid to unemployed persons who find jobs have had only limited success in reducing joblessness and unemployment duration. However, experiences in other countries are somewhat more encouraging. Several experiments in the United States and Canada have evaluated the effect of "work incentive" programs, which make income-conditioned payments to persons only if they work a certain number of hours per week. The evidence suggests that such programs can significantly increase labor supply. However, somewhat less than half of those eligible to receive such payments actually do so.
Since its inception in 1975, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) has grown into the largest federally funded, means-tested cash assistance program in the United States. Hotz and Scholz review the political history of the EITC, its rules and goals, and its growth and coverage. They also note that the predicted effects of the EITC are not all pro-work, especially with respect to hours and its labor market incentives for two-earner couples. They then summarize the existing empirical research on the behavioral effects of the EITC, emphasizing in particular the effects of the 1986, 1990, and 1993 expansions of the credit on labor force participation and hours of work. The literature provides consistent evidence, generated from a variety of empirical approaches, that the EITC positively affects labor force participation. There are also smaller, negative effects on hours of work for people already in the labor market and for secondary workers.
These papers and their discussions will be published by the University of Chicago Press in an NBER Conference Volume. In advance of publication, these papers will be available at Books in Progress.

Chavez-Lee fight KO'd at Sun Bowl by University of Texas
The middleweight title fight between champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Andy Lee, scheduled for June 16 at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, was canceled Tuesday afternoon by University of Texas System officials.
Top Rank, which promotes the undefeated Chavez, who is wildly popular in his native Mexico where his father is considered probably the country's greatest fighter, said they were told there were "high security concerns" because of continued violence on the U.S.-Mexican border. El Paso is a west Texas border city.
University of Texas public affairs spokesperson Veronique Masterson said, however, that university officials simply said that the Sun Bowl was not an appropriate venue for the fight, and did not mention security as a reason for canceling the event. She did not elaborate on why it was considered innapropriate.
The UT System released a statement Tuesday night:
"A specific event risk assessment was performed and the conclusion was that the risk was higher than normal. Based on this assessment, the decision was made that the university and Sun Bowl would not be an appropriate venue for this specific event.
"The decision was not made by the UT System Board of Regents. It was made by University of Texas System Administration officials.
"Furthermore, this decision should not be generalized to other events at UTEP or other UT institution facilities. If there was an elevated risk determination associated with any event hosted by the other 14 UT institutions, the same decision would have been made."
Top Rank was an hour away from its press conference at the Sun Bowl to announce the fight when they were informed of the decision. They went ahead with the event anyway.
Bob Arum, Top Rank chairman, said that unless university officials reverse their decision, the fight will either be moved to Houston's Toyota Center or the San Antonio Alamodome, both of which are being held by Top Rank for that date. But it will happen on June 16 in Texas, Arum said.
"The only thing we can figure out is that so many people would be coming over the border to watch the fight," Arum said. "That's not a high security concern, that's just racist.
"The people are up in arms here (in El Paso). The president of UTEP (Diana Natalicio) went crazy (after being told the UT system officials were canceling the event)."
Masterson said Dr. Natalicio "took the decision in stride."
"(Chavez) is chagrined," Arum said. "We've been working on the deal with the university for more than a month. I want to emphasize that it was not UTEP that made this decision."
Asked if anything like this had ever happened to him before, Arum, who has been in the boxing business for nearly a half century, said "never, never, never, never."
Arum and event coordinator Lester Bedford said they would like to keep the fight in El Paso, but Arum said there is nowhere else in the city to hold the fight besides the Sun Bowl.
Top Rank spokesman Lee Samuels said he can't understand why they will not allow the fight at the Sun Bowl, which is the football stadium for the University of Texas-El Paso.
"Chavez gets a very young audience at his fights," Samuels said. "He attracts young families, children — children love him, They wear all this Mexican gear, like Viva Chavez and stuff. These are the nicest, kindest fight fans you'll ever come across."

Zynga ( ZNGA) shares jumped 4.73% to $3.10 after Nevada legalized online gambling. Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval signed legislation yesterday allowing gambling online, after the Nevada State Senate and Assembly passed the bill. Approval comes after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie vetoed a similar bill, but indicated he would sign an amended version next week. Zynga, owner of the Zynga Texas Hold 'Em and Slots apps, has looked to online gambling to diversify its revenue outside of advertising and in-game purchases.
Shutterstock ( SSTK) climbed 16.51% to 32.68 following a 42% jump in revenue year-over-year, as sales hit $42.9 million for the fourth quarter. The commercial digital imagery company announced it now has more than 23 million images and video clips in its possession, and the number of active customer accounts surpassed 750,000 during the quarter. "Our fourth quarter results capped a very strong year for Shutterstock," said Founder and CEO Jon Oringer. "We are very pleased with our progress on product innovation, global market penetration and financial performance over the course of 2012." --Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

While searching online for some fabric (for what, I'm not totally sure yet), I came across Spoonflower. Now… why I haven't come across Spoonflower before today, I have NO idea! What makes Spoonflower so cool, you ask? Get this… you can design, print and even sell your own fabric! So if you're looking for fabric with the ever-so-popular chevron pattern in that perfect shade of yellow, you can just design your own. Genius.
If you aren't necessarily the artsy type, don't fret. There are hundreds upon hundreds of patterns to choose from on the Spoonflower website, which are designed by other Spoonflower users. Ikat, chevron, herringbone, paisley – they've got it all. It's kind of like Etsy for fabric. Here are a few of the unique designs that caught my eye…
1. tree hearts 2. gray + cream ikat 3. coral yellow 4. spring green 5. bird house 6. gray + cream chevron 7. geo tile in kiwi 8. c'est la viv garden lark poppies
They offer 7 different types of fabric to choose from, including quilting-weight cotton, organic cotton sateen, upholstery-weight cotton twill, cotton voile, and more. If you're having trouble deciding which fabric type is best for your specific project, you can order a fabric sample pack for just $1.00 (with free shipping!). I ordered one because I'm totally new to fabric, sewing, and whatnot. I couldn't tell you the difference between interlock knit and cotton twill. But hey, I'm learning (I keep saying "Baby steps, baby steps…" like on What About Bob?).
I've spent months looking for fabric for curtain panels in the dining room and my office. But I just haven't been able to find anything like what I have pictured in my head. So, hopefully, the wonderful world of Spoonflower will come to my rescue. How about you… Would you be down for designing your own fabric or would you rather leave the designing to someone else?

Comptroller Releases Audits Of Local Agencies
State comptroller Tom DiNapoli has released audits for the Camillus Volunteer Fire Department and Madison County Probation Department.
DiNapoli's office says both organizations did not have any major problems. They did find that the fire department didn't have adequate controls over financial activities, and that there were some questions as to whether certain purchases were necessary. They say it is common in such organizations where there isn't someone with experience in proper financial procedures.
They reported that the probation department has not been pursuing all possible revenue sources available to them. The department can charge fees for such activities as probation supervision and drug screening.
DiNapoli's office says the audits are recommendations they make to these organizations, but they are required to submit a written plan to address the problems that are uncovered.

1) When I turn the engine off using the on/off button, the radio and dashboard lights stay on. So I have to push it again to turn it off completely?? Is there a way to just adjust it so the button turns off everything the first time?
Same thing here. I am used to it now. This was not the case with my 2006 750i
2) I also have to open the car door by pulling on the lever twice. Can I just pull on it once and have it open? All this extra effort seems crazy to me.
I don't have to do it twice.
2) When I wear my sunglasses while driving, I can hardly see the pop up display. When I set it brighter, I can see it better but then it's really annoying when my sunglasses are off. Any trick to this?
Yes. Head up display does not work with certain sunglasses. I learned it the hard way. I took it to the dealer and they gave me a loaner. After few hours they told me, they fixed it by reprogramming the car. Pickup the car at night and it was fine. Next morning it was gone again. Then I realized it was fine all along. Glasses were the culprit. Manual says that.

The huge election victory by the Spanish conservatives represents a rejection of the institutional left. For Daniel Hannan, it also represents a rejection of the Indignados movement that has, since the summer, been clogging up the public spaces of Madrid and Barcelona - and whose pale shadow can currently be seen clinging to the pavement outside St Paul's Cathedral. Hannan writes:
Happily, no one can now question the PP's mandate. Throughout the campaign, Rajoy promised to cut the debt and get people back to work by reforming Spain's sclerotic labour laws. The indignados turn out to be very much minoritarios: the little, shrivelled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour.
EU Referendum is scathing:
It is the complete inability of the likes of Hannan to understand or even recognise this deeper mood which guides him to the belief that we are seeing a standard shift in between the normal left-right paradigm. But the mood for change is indeed much deeper. Standard politics no longer has a grip and the average politician is the object of contempt which is fast becoming universal.
Instead, we're pointed to a Guardian article claiming that, au contraire, the result was actually "a mandate for the Indignados". The evidence for this is that, while conservative voters were casting their ballots in the usual way, the creative dissidents of tent city were busy scrawling the words "ballot box" on drainpipes and encouraging people to spoil their election papers. As a result (it is claimed), there were eleven million abstentions and spoiled papers, more than twice as many as last time and more than voted for the winning party.
Nothing new there. In 2005 in Britain more people voted for no-one than voted for Tony Blair's Labour Party. This, too, was looked upon as proof of massive disenfranchisement. In the United States, the very home of democracy, it's now rare for any presidential election to have more than a 50% turnout. But abstentions and spoiled papers don't count. However much a result may be said to lack "legitimacy" as a result of widespread non-voting, it does not lack the legal legitimacy that comes with gaining the largest number of votes that are actually cast.
So are we seeing politics as usual, one mainstream party temporarily obliterating another as the pendulum swings its inevitable swing? Or is this the beginning of the great cataclysm, as the various campers-in would have it?
Over the past week I've been attending some lectures given by Professor Manuel Castells, veteran Spanish sociologist and guru of "network power", currently the leading theorist of the transformation of politics in the digital age. Castells is an old Sixties radical, and there was more than a hint of Sartre saluting the Soixante-huitards in his somewhat misty-eyed evocation of the Indignados and their primitive democracy. Indeed, he'll be giving a potted version of his lectures to Occupy London itself on Friday. (Anyone going along should be warned that his analysis is in places quite theoretical and despite many years in the United States he has a thick Spanish accent, both of which made him quite hard to follow.)
Katharine Ainger, in the Guardian, writes that the Indignados have been "exploring ideas that go far beyond party politics or even changing electoral law, such as participatory budgets, referendums, election recalls and other forms of citizen-initiated legalisation." Castells described this process in some detail: no formal leadership beyond rotating "moderators" ; decisions made by ad hoc assemblies after lengthy discussions, but which might be overturned another day if a different bunch of people turn up; no coherent ideology ("the ultimate anarchism is when they aren't even anarchists").
In the Internet age, Castells maintains,
Social change comes from communicative action that involves connection between networks of neural networks from human brains stimulated by signals from a communication environment through communication networks. The technology and morphology of these communication networks shapes the process of mobilization, thus of social change, both as a process and as an outcome.
All very interesting, I couldn't help thinking, until the police turn up and start whacking people over the head. In the end, there's a limited amount that can be achieved by passing resolutions. As distinguished and intellectually opaque as he is, I fear Castells ended up sounding all too like Laurie Penny.
But he did make one fascinating point. He compared what is happening today with what happened to European liberalism in the period before the First World War. Parties that had been what might loosely be called the "establishment left" or the progressive wing of the ruling elites, lost credibility, support and then political power as they were outflanked by new political organisations rooted in the working class. This is the scenario described by George Dangerfield in his famous study The Strange Death of Liberal England.
Castells' point is that this was a crisis in politics on the Left. Bourgeois liberal parties were eclipsed and either disappeared or went into a decades-long decline; their support fragmented, some going to the new working-class movements like the Labour party, the rest being absorbed into the mainstream centre-right. But the conservatives didn't go away, because conservatives never do: conservatism represents something eternal in politics and in the human soul.
Ultimately, then, politics reorganises itself into something new. But this process invariably takes the form of one vehicle of progressive politics losing its legitimacy, to be replaced by something that better articulates radical aspirations. It looks like transformation, but only half the political spectrum really changes, and it's always the same half.
The Spanish election result may well bear this out. Hannan is correct to see it as a rejection of the Socialist party, but the Indignados are equally right to see it as further proof that the old politics is dead. The old Left politics, at least.

BEAVER, W.Va. (AP) — A lawyer who has sued the state on behalf of women who say they were sexually abused in West Virginia jails says he's filed 11 lawsuits against a jail guard who is now behind bars.
Twenty-nine-year-old William Roy Wilson of Beckley was being held Friday on $75,000 bond in an isolation cell at the same Southern Regional jail where he had been working. He is charged with having sex with female inmates since May in exchange for cigarettes.
Jail Authority spokeswoman Ashley Bennett says an inmate brought up the allegations, and the authority did an internal investigation before giving the case to state police investigators.
She couldn't comment on whether similar allegations have been raised against Wilson before, saying authority lawyers weren't available.
But attorney Mike Woelfel says he has nine pending cases against Wilson. Two others were settled.

Mexico City (AFP) July 01, 2014
Tropical Storm Elida swirled off Mexico's Pacific coast Tuesday while Douglas pulled away -- but the double hit was dumping heavy rains in much of Mexico, the national weather service reported.
"Tropical Storm Elida remained stationary 135 kilometers (85 miles) southwest of Punta San Telmo, Michoacan," the weather service said in its report at 7:00 am (1200 GMT).
Elida, which registers maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers (53 miles) per hour, was bringing heavy rain to seven states along the Pacific coast, including Michoacan, Jalisco and Colima.
Authorities in those states have raised an alert for high winds and strong waves of up to four meters (13 feet).
The slightly weaker Douglas, which is slowly moving away from Mexico, was Tuesday morning 720 kilometers southwest of the resort town of Cabo San Lucas, on Baja California Sur, with sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour.
The tropical storm has brought downpours and waves up to three meters in Baja California Sur.
Authorities have also warned of the risk of landslides and flooding, cautioning the population to remain alert.
In late May, Amanda, the first hurricane of the 2014 season -- which runs until the end of November -- killed three people in Michoacan and Guerrero states.
Last year, Mexico was hit simultaneously by hurricanes Ingrid in the Gulf of Mexico and Manuel on the Pacific coast, killing 157 people.

GSA Awards Seat Management Contracts to 8 Prime Companies
July 1, 1998
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The General Services Administration today awarded its Seat Management contracts worth a maximum value of $9 billion over 10 years to eight prime companies. These multiple award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts were awarded to:
* EER Systems, Inc.
* FDC Technologies, Inc.
* IBM Corporation
* Multimax, Inc.
* PRC Inc.
* Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)
* TechServ LLC (DYNCORP)
* Wang Government Services, Inc.
The contracts are non-mandatory, fully competed, and can support the requirements of any civilian Federal government agency or Department of Defense component. The contracts were awarded by the Federal Computer Acquisition Center (FEDCAC), part of GSA's Federal Technology Service.
GSA Administrator David J. Barram hailed these awards as a significant milestone toward achieving GSA's vision of providing integrated desktop-to-desktop services to Federal agencies.
With GSA's Seat Management, the government can acquire desktop computing as a totally integrated "information utility" that includes: (1) general purpose desktop computers, servers, and associated peripherals; (2) high performance computational systems and associated peripherals; (3) local and wide area network capabilities; (4) commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software; (5) help desk services; (6) maintenance; (7) design and installation services; and (8) training.
These Seat Management contracts have the potential to revolutionize the way the government acquires information technology by providing desktop computing as a pure, non-owned service that encompasses the hardware, software, connectivity, management, operation, and maintenance of the desktop environment and its associated network infrastructure. The contracts will accommodate the full spectrum of desktop computing resources from general purpose to high performance, scientific and engineering environments. They will provide end-to-end information technology (IT) engineering and management services, and enable the government to acquire desktop functionality as a utility and pay for it by the seat. Individual task orders against the Seat Management contracts will be fully tailorable to client agency requirements and will deliver a prescribed service level to the Federal employee's desktop.
"GSA's Seat Management Program was established in response to observations that the private sector was increasingly turning to managed life cycle service encompassing the acquisition, operation, and management of entire desktop computing environments and achieving reduced costs and increased operation efficiencies," said FTS Commissioner Dennis Fischer.
"GSA's Seat Management contracts provide a mechanism for the IT community to obtain similar benefits by procuring integrated desktop computing as a pure non-owned service or 'information utility' in much the same way that one purchases residential telephone or cable television services."
"GSA's Seat Management will provide the Federal government an entirely new approach to acquiring desktop computing functionality," said Wanda Smith, head of GSA's Seat Management Office. "It will provide end-to-end desktop technology and services solutions, and enable client agencies to achieve a common operating environment for all their desktop capabilities."
The awards demonstrate GSA's continued commitment to small, small-disadvantaged, and women owned businesses. All eight awardees made significant commitments in their proposals to such firms. One winner, Multimax, Inc., a small disadvantaged business concern, put together a strong team and went head-to-head with the larger companies.
Initial task orders for these contracts will be issued by GSA's Seat Management Program office. Eventually, all GSA regional offices and other Federal agencies are expected to have direct access to the contracts. For contract information contact Wanda Smith at (703) 756-4143 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

We've set up FrontlineSMS and it works, but we cannot get the Frontline Forms module to cooperate.
We are using a Sierra GSM (AT&T) C885 modem to connect to FrontlineSMS 18.104.22.168. And have tested both Nokia S40 Series and S60 Series Phones (3110c, 3150-2 XpressMusic and Nokia E63, and a Nokia C50 (T-Mobile).
In each case:
The PC can send a normal SMS message to each phone and it is received by the phone.
The SMS Client on the phones can send a request for a new form to the PC running FrontlineSMS 22.214.171.124.
The request for a new form message is successfully received by the PC.
The PC sends the form to the phone with no error messages.
However, in all cases the Frontline client on the phone never acknowledges receipt of the form. The screen "Your SMS was sent. Please wait for a reply" appears, but nothing more happens.
This is the conversation:
Status "Received":AAI+gCUAAAECAQElDQIAAA==
Status "Sent": 012500000025000101000103070A0006546573742D310F0800050010476174686572205465737420466F726D000A456E74657220446174650009456E74657220416765000A4669727374204E616D6500094C617374204E616D650A0900050A02040707
Thinking it might be a carrier issue, even though we tried two here in the US, we asked our associates in Uganda to test it as well. They have had the same lack of success.
Have others experienced this problem? How have you resolved it?
If it is an issue with the phones, can you advise if the 10 phones listed on the Wiki and Google Docs that have a "Yes" in the Forms SMS Column are the only devices that do work?

Hi Andrew
I'll ask Alex, our hot-shot developer, to respond to you tomorrow. Forms can be a little particular, so I won't hazard a guess quite yet as to what might be going wrong. Back with you shortly!
Hi Andrew,
The message from FrontlineSMS to FrontlineForms is in binary format, so there are a few possibilities:
1. the modem is unable to send binary SMS
2. the carrier is rejecting binary SMS
3. the handsets are unable to receive binary SMS
We can probably rule out 3 as you say you've used a number of different, and 2 seems very unlikely so I'd suggest trying a different modem.
It's worth checking also, have your associates in Uganda been using the same modem as you? Have they experienced exactly the same issue at exactly the same point in the process?
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the suggestions. We are thinking
1. The Modem is the Sierra Wireless C885 recommended on the FrontlineSMS Site. Also, FrontlineSMS on the PC shows that the form SMS was successfully sent.
2. Carrier. Could be, but the Frontline Forms gave the same result with the carrier in Uganda - the FronlineSMS PC software shows that the form SMS was successfully sent.
3. Handsets are unable to receive binary SMS seems the most likely, but we have tried so many different ones including several that are known to work with FrontlineSMS.
Can you or other forum readers offer any specifics we can try in either US or Uganda - a specific phone paired with a specific carrier which has worked / is working?
Thanks! We are really very eager to get this working. We think FrontlineSMS is a great product and want to integrate it and the Forms module into our toolbox.
Best regards,
Hi Andrew,
We'll take a look from this end and see if we can recreate your problem. The phones we have listed are by no means the only ones that will work - they are likely ones we have tried ourselves, or people have reported are working.
Hopefully someone else can help with your specific problem.
Best wishes,
Hey, Andrew :)
I HAVE been able to get Forms working here in the US! I'm using the latest version of FLSMS (22.214.171.124), a Sierra Wireless USBConnect Mercury modem w/an AT&T SIM, and a Nokia N85 (which isn't actually listed as a supported device -- it runs Symbian -- but the client installed successfully) also w/an AT&T SIM.
But if I remember correctly, it didn't automatically work at first. I think I tried to send the form to the phone from FLSMS and it didn't work -- I received the message but it didn't show up as a form in the client. Then I entered the phone number for the FLSMS machine into the client and submitted a request for the form and that worked. When I went back to the main menu I was able to enter data into the new form and also submit it successfully back to FLSMS.
I'm not sure if any of that will help, but I CAN confirm that I've been able to get Forms working correctly.
Just an update here, it's working now. The problem was that we were using T-Mobile SIMS in the Phones and AT&T SIM in the Modem.
We are using the C855 Sierra Wireless Modem AT&T branded. When I switched the phones a Nokia XpressMusic and a Nokia C5-00 to AT&T SIMS. The forms started working.
This is good news for people needing to test FLSMS Forms in the U.S.A
Thanks for letting us know, John! Great news.
And thanks, James, for helping out here, too.
Thanks, James, for your post!
Ken, it would be great if FLSMS could post a list not only of phones and modems, but also (as James provided) the complete "recipe" for successful forms deployments: Country - Carrier - Handset - Modem - FLSMS Forms software version.
We're looking forward to integrating FLSMS with our GATHERdata platform.
Best regards,
Hi Andrew!
Very good point, and we'll certainly get onto it. There are a number of ingredients needed to get this right - and we're glad you've managed to get up and running yourself.
Please do keep us posted on your progress, and let us know if we can be of any further help.
Hi James, I have a Nokia N85 and I have not been able to make it work. Did you configure anything additional?
It sounds like it was just trial and error for James - at which point is the process failing for you?

Exporters face a mad cow stampede
Page Tools
Keeping a watchful eye: Japanese consumers are likely to prefer
Australian beef despite another case of mad cow disease in the US.
Photo: AP
Australian beef exports to Japan could be hit as people switch to other products following the discovery that beef from a US cow has tested positive for BSE, or mad cow disease.
The Japan Times reported on Sunday that a member of a panel of the Food Safety Commission said some panel members might demand that Washington provide more detailed information about the latest case, such as the cow's birthplace.
The cow's farm location has not been revealed.
"But I think the policy in our deliberations will be the same," said the panel member, University of Tokyo professor Takashi Onodera.
Australian embassy minister-councillor for agriculture Bill Withers said any consumer concerns over beef safety was not good news for the Australian beef export trade.
"People will not prefer Australian beef but turn to alternatives like chicken or pork," Mr Withers said.
Linda Wilson, Japan market services manager for Meat and Livestock Australia, rang a more positive note by affirming that Japanese consumers were well aware of the safety of Australian beef.
"We think Japanese consumers will prefer to buy Australian beef anyway, regardless of this new BSE case," she said.
Japan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries figures show that since Japan banned beef from Canada and the US in 2003 because of BSE, Australia enjoyed a 91 per cent quasi-monopoly of the Japanese beef import market in fiscal 2004, leaving a 7.5 per cent share to New Zealand and trickles to a half-dozen other countries.
In fiscal 2004, Australia exported 393,471 metric tonnes of beef to Japan, worth $2.2 billion.
Japan and the US agreed last October to forgo inspections for beef exported to Japan for cattle 20 months old and younger.
The two sides agreed that Japanese resumption of beef imports would not be affected by new isolated cases of BSE.

90 of the 105 candidates backed by Michelle Rhee in November were RW Republicans

Michelle Rhees right turn
The school-reform advocate touts her "bipartisan" bona fides, but more and more of her allies are conservatives
By Daniel Denvir
Nov. 6 was a good day for Michelle Rhee. The former Washington, D.C., schools chancellor, through her organization StudentsFirst, poured money into state-level campaigns nationwide, winning 86 of 105 races and flipping a net 33 seats to advocates of so-called school reform, a movement that advocates expanding privately run public charter schools, weakening teachers unions, increasing the weight of high-stakes standardized tests and, in some cases, using taxpayer dollars to fund private tuition through vouchers as the keys to improving public education.
Rhee makes a point of applauding leaders in both parties and across the ideological spectrum because her own political success and the success of school reform depends upon the bipartisan reputation she has fashioned. But 90 of the 105 candidates backed by StudentsFirst were Republicans, including Tea Party enthusiasts and staunch abortion opponents. And Rhees above-the-fray bona fides have come under heavy fire as progressives and teachers unions increasingly cast the school reform movement, which has become virtually synonymous with Rhees name, as politically conservative and corporate-funded...
Rhees popularity among political political elites and media outlets is formidable: She is a frequent guest on national television and at events around the country where she charges up to $50,000 per appearance.The interesting thing is theres a lot of groups that are trying to play that role, and Michelles celebrity gives StudentsFirst certain assets in that conversation, says Rick Hess, an education scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute...
Rhees agenda is supported by the notorious American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), an organization composed of conservative state legislators and businessmen that formulates and circulates model laws in statehouses nationwide...

1. Her StudentsFirst lobby group is a RW group
Which advances a RW policy, union busts, is funded by RWers, and supports and gives money to RWers.
All the states schools she gives high "grades" to are run by RWers. All the ones that have strong teacher unions and are blue, she grades down. For example: she LOVES Louisana, FL, and OH governors and schools.

3. I don't think she ever had principles.
I sincerely hope she is fully exposed for the lying, cheating, disgusting opportunist that she is.

4. Well, she did start her career as a classroom teacher...
so I have to assume some kind of principles led her to that.

5. may have been nothing more than a "means to an end"....
I think most teachers do have principles, but I don't assume this to be the case with Rhee. Similarly not all physicians go to medical school because of a desire to help their fellow man (rather than monetary and prestige gains).

6. A TFA is hardly a real teacher. She was a temp.
And a lousy one at that. She should have had her license yanked for taping her students' mouths.

8. Where she literally abused the kids
She duct-taped shut the mouths of eight-year-old minority kids. She sucked as a teacher and quit after not even three years. She never even served in any administrative role.
She then lied, including on her cv, about her test scores.
Principled people do none of this.

7. She never had any principles
She was a failed teacher who used DC kids and teacher as her fiefdom and guinea pigs. Even her own mother has stated she has no empathy.
She is also a union buster, a racist (oh yes, she is), and a cheat.

11. Thanks! I've added this information to her Wikipedia bio.
I also added it to the Wikipedia article about StudentsFirst.
I added only the partisan tilt of the endorsements, but there's more stuff in the Salon article that would be worth including, if anyone has the time and energy.

Hi all,
I am now in the market to find a good value front projector for home theater. I vowed to not show my son any Star Wars movies until I revived my theater (old standard def projector bulb worth more than projector, so it is DEAD, Jim). He is of age to see it, and I have the old unaltered version on LaserDisk. Granted I will be using HD for most sources, this is one of the few that will be down-sized so at least Han Solo shoots first.
I would love to hear your experiences and recommendations. What hurts is I will also need a new surround receiver also as the one I have is only standard def. This will be used mostly for movies, as the HTPC is connected to the TV to watch shows and other garbage I refuse to waste a good bulb on. Also recommendations on that wouldn't hurt as well. Trying to keep both under 2K.
Word of caution: I used to be a nut about practical audiophile, but I retired from that 10+ years ago once I no longer had neighbors to annoy. I just hope my home-brew speakers have not moldered in the basement and lost their pizzaz.

It was the room directly above Peggy; and was tenanted, as we have seen, by lobelia Parkins.
Well, the fact is that I am expecting to hear of lobelia's death at any time.
The Campanulaceae are low annual insignificant weeds, one lobelia excepted, viz.
Most of the time on the island we spent debating how lobelia come to be on the schooner.
They prefer the most gorgeous reds and scarlets, such as that of Salvia horminum, lobelia cardinalis, and the like.
Peggy took lobelia's hand, and drew it resolutely through her arm.
lobelia Phillips' will would be opened and read soon, probably at once.
"I—I thought it was Herodotus who was called that," lobelia ventured, timidly.
Do you happen to know whether there was any of those Boston bonds in lobelia Phillips' estate?
lobelia was in bed at this moment, though it was before the usual bedtime.

Second Eleven Friendly
Day 3 of 3
Durham (210 & 259-7 dec) lost to Notts (200 & 272-9) by one wicket
In a close match that concluded with just four overs left, there was much to be pleased about as a young group saw Notts home by the narrowest of margins.
Set to score 270 to win from a minimum of 55 overs they started badly losing Edwards, Rowe & Patel with just 16 on the board.
However the start of the recovery was led by a senior player, Ali Brown, whose short cameo of an innings must have inspired his team mates.
His first three scoring strokes were sixes, two of them flat batted over cover point and in 25 balls he scored 45 with a further six and 4 fours before being leg before to Rushworth who went on to claim three wickets to add to his 5-50 in the first innings.
Scott Elstone also caught the boundary bug his first 40 runs all coming in fours. At tea Notts were 131-4 from just 18 overs.
However Elstone was out shortly after the interval for 49, followed by Sam Wood who also maintained the aggression with three sixes in his 43. Adeel Shafique was then run out for the second time in the match to leave the visitors tottering on 183-7.
Michael Robson and George Bacon then turned the game round with a stand of 63 before the former was out for 41.
Bacon then went on to reach his 50 from 53 balls but with just eight needed was unlucky to be caught on the boundary hooking Brathwaite.
Tension mounted as Jake Ball and Simon Webster edged nearer to the target. Webster steered the ball through the slips to the vacant third man boundary to give Notts a well deserved win.
Earlier David Miller, Durham's overseas player scored 91 and Mark Stoneman 61with Scott Elstone taking 3-29 as Durham scored 259-7 before declaring.

Pat Summitt officially passes the whistle to Holly Warlick
The women's basketball coaching mantle at Tennessee officially passed from Pat Summitt to Holly Warlick on Thursday when Summitt hung her coaching whistle around the neck of her long-time lieutenant at a news conference in Knoxville.
Summitt, who won more games (1,098) than any college basketball coach in history — man or woman — stepped down Wednesday after 38 years, in large measure to focus on her battle with early on-set dementia. She won an NCAA-record eight national championships and graduated all 161 women who completed their eligibility.
Summitt, who turns 60 next month, revealed her condition in August but remained on the bench this season as Warlick — a former Lady Vols player and an assistant coach for the last 27 years — assumed the lead coaching role. Summitt will become "head coach emeritus" and continue to contribute to recruiting and mentor the players.
"I made a choice early in my career to challenge myself to step up my game each and every day," Summitt said. "You can be sure I will take this same attitude into my new role as head coach emeritus and continue to teach our players the same commitment. I can promise you ladies, I'm here for you.
"I felt Holly had earned this opportunity and I'm still going to be there for her and support her in every way."
Warlick, 53, becomes the 17th women's basketball coach in UT history, but just the third since 1971. A native of Knoxville and a three-time All-American for the Lady Vols between 1976-80, Warlick has been on staff for all eight national championships.
"Today I feel like the luckiest person in the world," she said. "I get to coach at a school that has always been in my blood and this is my home.
"It only took me 27 years to get to this point — I didn't want to rush it. So I told Pat to take all the time she needed.
"People have asked me, why have you not left? And I simply say, why would I? Why would I leave a place that is rich in tradition, has an unbelievable administration that has always supported women's basketball, and have the most incredible, supporting fans in the country?"
Tennessee athletics director Dave Hart said observing Warlick through this season convinced him what course to follow when Summitt decided to step down.
"(Warlick's) role went far beyond the norm in a very unique circumstance with Pat fighting this terrible disease," Hart said. "Watching Holly Warlick grow as a coach, as a person, as someone who could handle the leadership role that was demanded … as the season progressed I became more and more convinced that we did not need to go on a national search.
"Pat and I talked regularly and there was a time late in the season when Is said I was giving very serious consideration to naming Holly. And (Summitt) said, 'That would excite me.' "
The White House announced Thursday that Summitt would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in a ceremony later this year. President Obama cited Summitt's contributions as a coach and as standardbearer in the fight against Alzheimer's.
"Pat's gift has always been her ability to push those around her to new heights," the president said in a statement. "Pat's coaching career may be over, but I'm confident that her work is far from finished."
When asked about the honor, Summitt said she "didn't see it coming. It's a tremendous honor that I appreciate very much."

The buy is expected to close in late 2010, Walgreens said.

Racially Coded Language Hurts Everyone Who Struggles With Addiction
I've learned in my four years in the drug policy reform field that if you wait long enough, the same ill-informed and racist drug war propaganda will be rehashed over and over again. As I read the New York Times this weekend, drug war propaganda leaped off the page in the article "Addicted in Staten Island." The article read, in part: "across the country, one of the most significant social shifts of the 21st century has been the migration of drug use from centers of urban poverty to places that are suburban, white and middle- or marginally middle-class."
Not only is this not true, the racially coded language is detrimental to all those that struggle with addiction.
Drug use and addiction occur in communities of all color; in fact, data constantly show that drug use and drug selling are fairly consistent across racial lines. The real difference is in the way society treats different communities dealing with addiction.
In fact, sociologist Troy Duster laid out these facts over 40 years ago in his 1970 book, Legislation and Morality: Drugs, Crime, and Law. His esteemed colleagues, Harry Levine and Craig Reinarman wrote in their 2004 biography, Troy Duster: A Biography in History, "[Duster] showed that when the demographics of opiate addiction shifted, so did its definition and the law.
More specifically, "when addicts were predominantly white, middle class...addiction was a health problem dealt with privately by physicians. But when addiction spread among more "disreputable" groups like poor young men, it was redefined as a crime problem dealt with publicly by imprisonment."
Recent media attention to opioids as a problems facing white, suburban communities has led to a national discussion of harm reduction, treatment and public health approaches versus the mass incarceration approach that was the response to drug crises coded as Black or Latino. It's time we stop letting racism drive drug policy and build upon science, reality and compassion for our fellow person. We know what works—Good Samaritan laws, naloxone, reality based drug education, and safer injection facilities. If we want to save lives and build healthier communities, we must reject the prohibition frame work and stop using race, class, sexuality, and subjective morality to dictate how we respond to overdose and other health issues.
For his part in drug policy reform, Troy Duster was ahead of his time in 1970. He understood the roles race and class played in the War on Drugs in 1970 even before President Richard Nixon declared the War in 1971. His trailblazing book laid the foundation for the future works of Clarence Lusane, Michelle Alexander, and Dr. Carl Hart.
Mr. Duster's work helps us recognize the pervasive ways racism is the bedrock of the War on Drugs. If we can see it better we can fight it better. It is a powerful feeling to know that the road we travel today was paved by Mr. Troy Duster, and it assures me that I am right where I need to be – working to end the war on drugs.

St. Hugh's High School student wins Outstanding Child Researcher 2007 prize at Caribbean Child Research Conference
Kingston, October 25, 2007. Student of St. Hugh's High School in Kingston, 17 year old Danielle Edwards won the top prize from among seven child researchers who presented at the second Caribbean Child Research Conference held October 23-24 at the Jamaica Conference Centre. The conference was staged by the UNICEF Country Office for Jamaica in partnership with the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute for Social and Economic Studies (SALISES) and the Caribbean Child Development Centre (CCDC) of the University of the West Indies, the Early Childhood Commission, the Planning Institute of Jamaica, the Children Issues Coalition, the Child Development Agency and the Ministries of Health and Education..
Attended by policymakers, planners and researchers from across the English and Dutch-speaking Caribbean countries, Latin America and as far away as Nigeria and South Africa, the conference allowed researchers and non-researchers to discuss findings of the most recent studies and share recommendations for action focusing on improving the situation of children and fulfillment of their rights.
The inclusion of children in the conference was aimed at exposing them to high quality research undertaken during the past three years and to encourage their participation in researching of issues that of their concern and interest. This year the organizers supported the Ministry of Education to further promote Child Rights and research especially participatory action research among adolescents through a series of workshops organized by SALISES with technical and financial support of UNICEF Jamaica. As a result 15 research papers were submitted by students of which the best seven were presented during the Conference. All seven students were presented with gifts and sectional prizes were also awarded in oral presentation won by Tishauna Mullings of St. Hugh's; excellence in written presentation won by Anastasia Chin of Glenmuir High School; excellence in methodology won by Tsai Allen of Glenmuir and the top scorer from the gender that did not win the competition went to Colin Banton from Balaclava High School The top prize of a laptop computer to the 2007 Outstanding Child Researcher was provided by UNICEF whilst the sectional prizes were donated by Kingston and Sangster's Bookshops. Danielle was presented with a plaque and her prize of a laptop computer by Marta Santos Pais, Director, UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre.
Danielle's research on "The psychological effects of crime & violence on teenagers from an inner city community" revealed that 18 of 20 teenagers interviewed had been exposed to gun violence and had experienced a high amount of stress and fear. These students stated that thoughts about crime and violence were interfering with their studies and they had become very aggressive and defensive. Approximately 45 per cent of the teenagers interviewed stated that they did not feel safe at home and are often concerned about their safety.
The 2007 Outstanding Child Researcher recommended improvements in the justice system, group counselling in schools for students affected by violence, effective parenting and family life and the promotion of anger management and values and attitudes.

Field recording of single church bell. Made with Panasonic binaural mics to minidisc. Distance 100 metres. Occasional background voice and bird screech.
I love it -- it is oddly relaxing
pure pleasure
I clipped out two of the gongs and downloaded them to a Winbond sound chip. I am building a fake bell pull rope for a 1 room schoolhouse display at a fair - pull the rope and this bell sounds from the chip through powered speakers up above. Fun! I just hope it doesn't drive the workers in the building as crazy as Quasimodo...
clean! =D
An interesting one!

When all other class distinctions are abolished, this one will remain, like the bones of the apteryx.
The New Zealand "kiwi," known to naturalists as the apteryx.
The wings of the apteryx are literally rudiments; a mere stump, terminated by a hook.
The extraordinary creature represented in the engraving is the "apteryx," or "wingless bird" of New Zealand.
But with the cassowary, the emu, or the apteryx matters are very different.
Palapteryx, pal-ap′tėr-iks, n. a genus of fossil birds found in New Zealand, resembling the apteryx.
Bones of apteryx are also found fossil, but apparently of the same species as the living birds.
The plumage of the apteryx is brown; it has no tail, and its mere stumps of wings are provided with strong and curved claws.
Neither the apteryx nor the manchot fly any more than the ostrich.
The coracoidal articular surfaces similar to those of apteryx.

Why You Should Date More Than One Guy At A Time
So many of my clients ask me whether they should date more than one man at a time. As their search for love heats up, suddenly there are a few guys who are interested and they don't know how to handle it. The other scenario is that they fall in love too quickly with one guy and end up heartbroken time after time. Have either of these situations happened to you?
When I was looking for love, I often dated up to three guys simultaneously. I wasn't trying to hit some number in the Guinness Book of World Records. Rather, my goal was simple: to find a guy I could date more than three times, hoping this would lead to a relationship.
Frequently, men would drop out after one, two or three dates. Since there was no way to know who would stick around, I dated as many guys as I was interested in at the same time. That's why I'm an advocate for "volume dating." I dated 30 men in 15 months in order to eventually meet my husband. Read more …
