Reviews for this host's other properties
We loved the location of the studio. Two minutes from the train station and 5 minutes from Place Massena, which was ideal! The studio was very clean and comfortable: Perfect for two people. We stayed for 10 days and we could stay there again;) Superb location for exploring Nice!
Nous avons adoré l'emplacement du studio. À deux minutes de la gare SNCF et à 5 minutes de la place Massena, c'était l'idéal! Le studio était confortable et très propre : Parfait pour deux personnes. Nous y avons passé 10 jours et nous aurions pu y rester encore ; ) Superbe endroit pour découvrir Nice!
Everything was clean and good. Thank you.
Alles sauber und gut. Danke.
The flat is really nice and good location. Only bit noisy when windows are open during the night. Unfortunately there were cockroaches in the evening in the flat. Otherwise flat was clean and the owner was very friendly and flexible with check-in and out. Only one key for such a big apartment for many people was a bit tricky :)
My girlfriend and I stayed at the apartment for 12 nights. The host was very nice and helpful, and the apartment was cleaned really well for our stay. The apartment is nicely designed/decorated and the bathroom is really good too. Overall the apartment has everything you could need, with a laundromat just outside the front door of the building and a small grocery store in the same street. There is a bigger supermarket about 5 minutes away. The beach and boulevard are also just a 5 minute walk from the apartment and the train station is a nice 20 minute walk, but with the great bus connections you could be there in like 5-10 minutes.
I really recommend people, especially couples, to choose this great apartment when staying in Nice. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed it and are very satisfied.
Easy to find ,good room for the price. Nice and clean, No problems with anything all very easy and uncomplicated, i would stay again. Thank You! :))
Very nice apartment which is located about 15-20minutes from the beach. Everything is new in the apartment. from time to time was a beetle to be found, but that's nothing unusual. Salvatore was not on location during my stay abroad - as it was in the holiday-key collection etc still worked very well. 'm Really satisfied. Would I stay there again :)
Sehr schöne Wohnung welche nur ca. 15-20minuten vom Strand entfernt liegt. Alles ist neu in der Wohnung. ab und zu war mal ein Käfer anzutreffen, aber das ist ja nichts ungewöhnliches. Salvatore war während meines aufenthaltes nicht vor ort - da er in den ferien war- die Schlüsselübergabe etc funktionierte trotzdem sehr gut. Bin wirklich zufrieden.
Würde ich wieder buchen :)
This flat was really close to everything including the tram on main street Jean Medicin which takes you directly to Old Town Nice and the Beach. The train station is 5 mins away by foot. The owner is very accommodating and ensures your stay is pleasant with towels professionally cleaned. The only improvement I would say about this flat is that the stairs to the second bedroom need to be renovated as each step is slanted down, which can be quite dangerous to climb. I would recommend this owner and his place if you are looking for something with a good location.
Our stay at the studio was great. Good location and the apartment was fully equipped. We enjoyed our stay!
The apartment was exactly what the pictures from the Internet. It was a very nice apartment. Unfortunately, it was due to road construction and renovations over us, much too loud. It is quite hard to relax when at 6:00 clock in the morning the noise is too strong. Unfortunately, we also had the problem, that of the lower kitchen cabinets and bathroom came from the first cockroaches. We have washed everything and tries to do something. Too bad. Sincerely, Tanya Buescher
Die Wohnung entsprach genau den Bildern aus dem Internet. Es war eine sehr schöne Wohnung. Leider war es durch Strassenbau- und Renovierungsarbeiten über uns, viel zu laut. Es ist recht schwer sich zu entspannen, wenn um 6:00 Uhr morgens der Lärm zu stark wird. Leider hatten wir auch das Problem, dass aus den unteren Küchenschränken und aus dem ersten Badezimmer Kakerlaken kamen. Wir haben alles ausgewaschen und versucht etwas zu unternehmen. Schade.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Tanja Büscher
Apartment we shared with 4 people, which was a bit tight but ok though. Very modern clean u. we got help with problems quickly. Kitchen is fully equipped.

Kanda Bongo Man Biography
Kanda Bongo, 1955, Inongo, the Belgian Congo. Soukous vocalist and band leader Bongo Man is the nephew of the celebrated Zairean singer-songwriter Jean Bokelo, who was instrumental in encouraging his musical talent as a child and later helped him to gain his first foothold in the local music scene. In 1973, with the brothers Soki Vangu and Soki Dianzenza, Bongo Man formed his first band, Orchestre Bella Mambo (later known as Orchestre Bella Bella). Stylistically, Bella Mambo struck a balance between the older big bands and younger dance groups such as Zaiko Langa Langa. The outfit toured widely in Zaire, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya before Bongo Man left in 1979, to settle in Paris, then a powerful European magnet for Francophone African musicians. He spent his first two years in the city working as a labourer, before signing to the Afro Rythmes label in 1981 and releasing two superb albums, Iyole and Djessy, which mixed soukous with internationally appealing pop melodies. With Djessy, he further broadened soukous established style by adding Latin-American-derived beguine rhythms. In 1983, Kanda Bongo Man visited the UK to play an acclaimed set at the high-profile WOMAD (World Music And Dance) Festival. Setting up his own Paris-based label, Bongo Man Records, in 1984, he released his third album, Amour Fou. In 1985 British-based specialist label Globestyle released the compilation Non Stop Non Stop. The new studio set Malinga followed in 1986, then the zouk-influenced Lela Lela in 1987. The artists flirtation with zouk that year continued when he played on Kassavs classic album Zouk Time.
As the decade closed Kanda Bongo Man immersed himself in dance trends such as the Kwassa Kwassa (also the title of his first US-distributed album) and Mayebo, though his style was still located primarily in the high-speed soukous tradition that he had pioneered. He continued to release records on a regular basis throughout the 90s, including the wonderful live album Soukous In Central Park. Kanda Bongo Man relocated to South Africa to record 2001s Balobi, on which he essayed a dynamic mix of kwassa kwassa and mbqanga.

Q-Wave Myocardial Infarctions (MI): EKG's are also used to look at old and new injuries to the heart's muscle tissue. When a patient presents with chest pain, you can use the EKG to discriminate between ischemia and infarct. The EKG also gives the location of ischemia or injury, which then allows a physician to base treatment on that information and prevent ischemia from becoming permanent damage.
Q waves become present on an EKG after the injury has occurred and the tissue has died. It is important to assess Q waves for height, width, leads present in, and the clinical scenario. A Q-wave MI is called an old (indeterminate age) MI, because all the changes both on the EKG and in the myocardium that would allow you to time or date the damage have already occurred. The exception occurs when ST and T wave changes are still present and Q waves appear; then, you can determine the infarct is new. The development of Q waves is close to the last step as discussed below.
Natural History of a Q-Wave MI: Four changes occur in an acute Q-wave MI
1. Hyperacute or peaked T waves appear
2. Elevation of the ST segment
3. Appearance of clinically significant Q waves (see below for details)
4. T wave inversion and the ST segment elevation begins to resolve
Some Facts About Q Waves:
· Narrow Q in I, aVL, aVF, V5, and V6 can be normal
· QS or QR complexes may be seen normally in aVR
· QS may be found normally in III and V1 (if even a small R wave is present by V3, the QS is most likely normal and not a sign of infarct); however, any Q in V2,V3 or V4 is abnormal unless the axis is rotated.
· Significant Q waves: Q or QS waves are pathologic when they reach 0.04 sec in length (one small box) or at least 1/3 the size of the QRS complex
· If ST segment elevation with a flat or convex (coved) appearance occurs with the Q waves, then the infarct is considered acute or recent (posterior infarct presents differently with ST depression in right precordial leads)
If ST elevation has not resolved two weeks after the acute infarct and Q waves are present, situation is suggestive of a ventricular aneurysm.
Where is the problem?
I, aVL, V4-V6
Large Anterior
Left Main
I, aVL
II, III, aVF
V1-V2 (tall R waves with ST segment depression
RCA, left circumflex, or marginal
Method for Detecting a Q-Wave MI: Finally, the steps to how it's done.
· Look for significant (see above) Q waves in all 11 leads ignoring aVR
· List these leads and the heart regions they correspond to
· Check R wave progression and see that there is a normal transition around V3-V4 or note if, instead, there is a tall R or rSr´ in V1 to suggest posterior infarct (see below)
· Check for any ST segment elevation
· Check for reciprocal changes: ST segment depression in other lead groups
· Scan the EKG for flat or inverted T waves
· T wave inversion can be seen normally in III, and aVF; also if the QRS is down going the inverted T wave is probably normal.
· The shape of the ST segment elevation is important. More concave, or smiley, elevation is less concerning as it could be from early repolarization. Regardless, if the patient has chest pain, an elevation must be considered abnormal.
Non-Q Wave MI: Not all MI's have Q waves and up to 1/3 never develop Q waves or they develop and resolve. Two reasons for this: either the infarct was not complete (or transmural) or because the infarct occurred in an electrically "silent" area of the heart, where an EKG cannot record the injury. This has led some to call a non-Q wave MI a "silent MI" however; this term is used in several clinical scenarios. Confusion may arise as physicians also refer to a "silent MI" as one in which the patient presents with no chest pain, but maybe dyspnea, mental status changes, feeling "not quite right", or no symptoms at all.
A second form of a non-Q wave MI is obviously an acute infarct that has not had the time to resolve and eventually Q waves will appear. At the time the patient presents there are no Q's, but rather ST segment coved elevation with or without inverted T waves. Typically, one also finds reciprocal changes in other lead groupings that consist of horizontal or down-sloping ST depression. These changes occur, again, with or without T wave inversion. You must be careful when assessing reciprocal changes as they could also represent an area of ischemia and a new region of myocardium at risk.
ST Segment Patterns:
Ischemia: Horizontal or down-sloping ST segment depression with or without T wave inversion, but without ST elevation in any other leads; the segment depression is typically symmetric ("V" shaped)
Ventricular "Strain": Asymmetric depression that may be seen with LVH (lateral leads) or RVH (right precordial leads)
Digoxin: Strain-like pattern, wide scooped ST depression, or nothing at all
Non-Specific ST Changes: ST flattening or slight depression with significance unclear
Posterior Infarct: A Special Situation
Detecting a posterior MI requires a different way of viewing an EKG since no lead gives a direct view of the posterior wall of the left ventricle. Several arteries can cause a posterior MI, but it is most often seen with an inferior MI caused by an occlusion of the RCA. Viewing damage in this area involves an indirect means.
· Look for a tall R wave in V1 and V2- remembering that R waves should be small in these leads and get taller as you move to the left precordial leads
· These R waves must be present in the absence of RVH and therefore, the patient must be over 30-35 years of age (since that is when the criteria for RVH and LVH become reliable)
· R waves must be at least 0.04sec or longer; or R/S ratio of at least 1:1
· If tall R waves are present look for ST depression (if ST depression existed alone it would be difficult to tell if the changes were simply reciprocal changes for an inferior MI or an acute posterior infarct)
Mirror Test: Although the above description does work, the easiest way to detect a posterior MI is to use the Mirror Test. Once you have determined an inferior (or other) MI has occurred, you begin looking for reciprocal changes. If you see ST depression in V1, V2, and V3, flip the EKG over and hold it up to the light. Now read those leads flipped over. Are there significant Q waves? Is the ST segment elevated with a coved appearance? Are the T waves inverted? Answering yes tells you, there is a posterior infarct as well.
Points to Consider:
· With an occlusion of the RCA, you often see conduction abnormalities as it supplies arteries to SA and AV nodes
· Left main occlusions=sudden death
· LAD occlusions often result in BBB's or Mobitz II
· In 10% of cases, the circumflex artery also supplies the inferior/posterior wall of the LV and not just the lateral wall
· Most common cause of an acute MI- sudden occlusion of the artery
· Tall R waves in right precordial leads can also be due to RBBB (will see "rabbit ears" or "M" formation), WPW (look for delta wave), or RVH (check for RAD)

Cap Metro Mulls Airport Route for Phase Two of Urban Rail By Joy Diaz • Jun 24, 2014 Project Connect Capital Metro voted Monday to move forward with recommendations from Project Connect. The next steps are deciding who will govern its potential urban rail operations and where some of the funding will come from. The City of Austin and Capital Metro are both major players. But while Project Connect moved a step forward, there was a push from the Cap Metro board to take a step back. After dozens of public meetings and no shortage of criticism, Project Connect arrived at a proposed route for its urban rail that would go from Riverside to Highland Mall. On Monday, Capital Metro Board Chair Mike Martinez asked for analysis on a whole new route, from Austin-Bergstrom International to UT. PHOTOS: Disaster Response Drill at Austin-Bergstrom Airport By Ilana Panich-Linsman • Apr 2, 2014 Ilana Panich-Linsman for KUT News Austin-Bergstrom International Airport held a full-scale disaster response exercise on its airfield today, allowing first responders to practice their skills using an actual airplane.

Responders even tagged volunteers' bodies via a triage system, ranking them by the medical attention required. Austin Council Update: EMS Contract OK'd, Trails Kept Open 24 Hours, and an Airport Pet Hotel By KUT Staff • Sep 27, 2013 Daniel Reese for KUT News Update: Austin City Council members unanimously approved a rental registration program early this morning (Items 11, 12). Council members were considering two different proposals. One would have required the owners of rental property in certain areas of the city to register. But the proposal the council approved will require rental properties with multiple health and safety violations to be registered – no matter where the properties are located in the city. The program requires properties on the registration list to be periodically inspected.

That Low-Flying Plane Over Austin Was Just Doing Some Exercises By Andrew Weber • Jul 3, 2013 U.S. Navy City officials have confirmed that a military training operation took place over Austin today. A U.S. Navy E-6, similar to a commercial Boeing 707, flew over Austin during a touch-and-go drill, a common exercise in which a pilot lands and takes off again without stopping. The plane was from Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. Mayor Ponders Privatizing Airport to Shoulder Cost of Urban Rail By Luke Quinton • Apr 25, 2013 courtesy flickr.com/dawilson/ Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell says he's considering a plan to lease out the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to help pay for future urban rail projects. The list of airports that have successfully gone private is a short one. Air Traffic Controller Furloughs Leading to Flight Delays By Trey Shaar • Apr 22, 2013 Flickr, David Barrie http://www.flickr.com/photos/addictive_picasso/80085483/ Remember the Sequester? The across-the-board federal budget cuts? Get ready to start feeling the effects the next time you fly. Delays at the Austin airport could become noticeable as soon as Tuesday. For air traffic controllers employed by the Federal Aviation Administration, mandatory furloughs are in effect: a forced day off for every pay period. That means fewer controllers working airport control towers. Passenger Pre-Screening Program Begins at ABIA on Tuesday By Laura Rice • Mar 18, 2013 KUT News Some airline passengers at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport will soon be able to move through security lines faster.

While water utility officials have seen a reduction of smoke from the smoldering heaps – especially with help from a rainy weekend – the surrounding area still smells. Could Bergstrom Expressway Be Cure-All for Airport Congestion? By Andrew Weber • Mar 6, 2013 Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority A new expressway between US Highway 183 and Ben White Boulevard could "eliminate" traffic between the two congested roadways. But it'll cost you. The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA) hopes to complete the "Bergstrom Expressway" by 2020 – complete with a six-lane toll road, quicker access to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and shared-use paths for walkers and cyclists. But before the transit agency puts work boots on the ground, they want your opinion. The Lead: ABIA and the Sequester, Spring Break, Warrant Roundup By KUT Staff • Mar 5, 2013 KUT News Good morning. The National Weather Service says a Red Flag Warning in effect until 8 p.m. today. The windy, dry conditions mean a high risk of fire in Central Texas. The Travis County Fire Marshal is asking everyone to be careful and to avoid doing things like mowing, welding and outdoor cooking. Lead Story: The nation is three days into those across-the-board federal budget cuts called the sequester. And the Secretary of Homeland Security says some of the nation's bigger airports are already seeing security-line waits up 150 to 200 percent because of immediate cuts to overtime pay. Sequester Cuts at ABIA Will Be Minimal By Trey Shaar • Feb 28, 2013 KUT News The automatic federal budget cuts known as the sequester are scheduled to go into effect tomorrow. It would mean a change at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, but one that most of us may not notice.

Santa Anita canceled racing Feb. 3 when rain again fell on the Southern California area. The synthetic Cushion Track was one day away from undergoing a renovation designed to fix its drainage problem, and management felt it best in the interest of horse and rider safety to cancel the program. It is the eighth program Santa Anita has lost since it opened Dec. 26.
The original schedule was for Ian Pearse of Pro-Ride Racing Australia to begin what is to be a four- to five-day renovation following the races Feb. 3. Pearse will be applying a liquid binder that encapsulates the sand, allowing water to pass through, followed by application of fiber.
At 9 a.m. Feb. 3, the overnight rain was still lightly falling. Should it taper off during the day, management is still hopeful of being able to begin the renovation project in the afternoon. The Feb. 3 card had an early post time of 11 a.m. because of the Super Bowl, which would have given Pearse a jump-start mid-afternoon under the original schedule. The forecast calls for dry weather the rest of the week.
The Feb. 3 card included the San Antonio Handicap (gr. II), featuring the likes of Student Council, Awesome Gem, and Zappa. Racing secretary Rick Hammerle said that the San Antonio has been rescheduled for Feb. 9.

Created by an act of the Georgia Legislature on August 18, 1906 as the 11th District A & M School, it became Georgia's first state-supported two-year college in 1927. In 1932 South Georgia State College emerged as one of the original 26 institutions of the University System of Georgia which traces its origins to the chartering of the University of Georgia in 1785. Joseph Meriwether Thrash (1885-1947) joined the faculty in 1907, and later served as the fifth principal of the A & M School. He became the college's first president in 1927.
The Eleventh District A & M School-South Georgia College Historic District was named a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[2] Some of the contributing buildings and structures are the 1907 semi-circular drive with the surrounding buildings: Peterson Hall, Davis Hall, and Powell Hall that were designed by Haralson Bleckley, the Atlanta architect who also designed Georgia's other A & M Schools. Other buildings include the IT-Nursing Building, Stubbs Hall, Tanner Hall, and Alumni House.[3]
Holdings in the South Georgia State College William S. Smith Library exceed 100,000 items, including reference books, bound periodicals, government documents, pamphlets, maps and videotapes. The library subscribes to 327 journals and ten newspapers. Back issues are available in a variety of formats: CD-ROM, paper, microfiche and microfilm. GALILEO (Georgia Library Learning Online, a statewide initiative) links SGSC's library with others in Georgia to offer more than 100 generalized and specialized research databases. The reference area also offers CD-ROM based indexes to general periodicals and newspapers. Computer workstations offer access to the Internet through the campus network. Word-processing software is also available.
Organization and administration[edit]
South Georgia State College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award certificates and associate degrees.[citation needed] South Georgia State College is also certified under the National League for Nursing and the Georgia Board of Nursing.[citation needed]
Academic profile[edit]
About half of all faculty members have Ph.D. degrees or equivalent.[citation needed] There are no graduate assistants teaching classes at South Georgia State College. Students at SGSC go on to four-year institutions as SGSC is a two-year and four-year residential campus.
Student facilities[edit]
Wellness Center Complex[edit]
The Wellness Center Complex features racquetball courts, a free-weight area, an aquatic center, exercise rooms, aerobics, and a gymnasium containing a basketball/volleyball court. The aquatic center features an indoor swimming pool, locker rooms, outdoor patio, and classroom space.
Tiger Village I (Currently unused for housing)[edit]
In 2007, the college completed construction of Tiger Village, a 250-bed residence hall featuring two-room and four-room suites.
Tiger Village II (Co-ed)[edit]
In 2010, Tiger Village II opened, a 300-bed residence hall that features two-bedroom apartments.
Shannon Hall[edit]
One of the two older dorm facilities on campus is used to house overflow from Tiger Village I and II.
Floyd Hall (unoccupied)[edit]
One of the two older dorm facilities on campus is used to house overflow from Tiger Village I and II.
Financial Aid[edit]
South Georgia State College's Financial Aid Office awards over $3 million in assistance every year. Seven out of 10 SGSC students receive financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants, loans or through the federal work-study program. South Georgia State College offers several dozen merit-based scholarships through the South Georgia College Foundation and the James M. Dye Foundation. Many scholarships are merit-based, but others are granted depending on a student's financial situation.
South Georgia State College currently sponsors 9 NJCAA Division I teams: baseball, softball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's swimming, men's basketball, and women's soccer. South Georgia State College is a member of the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association and the National Junior College Athletic Association.
SGSC charges a fee to each student that enrolls at the school (called the "Athletic Fee"). The fee is charged every semester along with other academic fees. The athletic fee allows students to use their Student Identification Card for access to all athletic events.
SGSC students may also participate in intramural sports: flag football, basketball, softball, Ultimate Frisbee, and much more. Other activities include tennis, weightlifting, golf, table tennis, billiards, and volleyball.

This would be one of those times when he's sleeping all night Ellie had her recital at the Valley School of Dance in Geneseo. This is her second year, and she loves it. Here's the recital crew, with mom and big sister Hannah. Young Robbie is a playful sprite, full of energy and joy. Scott taking in a baseball game. That's Jack on the mound, standing next to the coach. Lilacs and a pansy. This sign hangs on the door of El Latino, a great restaurant at 390 and Chili Avenue. Dear Sophie and her paratrooper husband Austin after he and his company had marched back in from a three-week exercise. They parachuted in and walked 30 kilometers out. One of the benefits of being at Fort Bragg is they have an ocean a couple of hours away. On this day, Austin and Sophie were splashing in the Atlantic and Aubrey -- in the Army in California -- was splashing in the Pacific. Blue-eyed Ellie and I sometimes go for Saturday breakfast at the Stars & Stripes diner in Mt. Morris. She always gets grilled cheese and dill pickles. This is a blast from the past. My old desk at the now-defunct Times-Union. This would have been about 1990 or so. Young men take pictures of their women. Old men take pictures of their food.

That's the Cuban sandwich. Next time I'll get goulash. Speaking of the Ontario fire banquet, here's the president, Marty Whittemore. I had a great time at this banquet. Awfully nice, salt-of-the-earth people. Here's my dear wife with her little brood, at church on Mother's Day. Let's get some ice cream! Blue-eyed Ellie is an all-American girl. Robbie had kindergarten screening last week. He counted to 100 for them, was disappointed they didn't want to hear him count by 10s, and read a book for them. Scott is 2 and a fireball. He is always active, always doing something. He will grow up to be a leader and a helpful person. He is always doing something that he thinks helps run the household. Typically it just makes a mess, but he's doing it. Second-grader Jack just passed off a reading level and is now officially at a fifth-grade level. Mom and a couple of her boys.

NYChilifest 2012: The Many Mugs of Chiliby Roberto Ferdman in Events, January 31st, 2012
After trying countless spoonfuls of chili, the subtleties can really start to evade your palate. Notes of nutmeg and tamarind, at first fresh and fragrant, are soon lost amidst the whirlwind of flavors; hints of coffee and chocolate no longer round off each bite, but instead take refuge behind the lingering heat of poblanos and other hot peppers of the like. Appreciating the nuances of chili can prove a pretty tricky task, but wrapping one's palate around the subtle differences between competing bowls of the hearty stew, eaten one after another? Nearly impossible. Unless, that is, the entries are as varied as they were at this past weekend's chili showdown in New York City.
Held in Manhattan's Chelsea Market, NYChilifest 2012 featured an eclectic list of competitors, including fine-dining establishments like Gramercy Tavern, younger, trendier spots like Roberta's and even popular Mexican destinations Tacombi and La Palapa. No less eclectic were the competing chilis, which ranged from straightforward ground beef and bean-stocked vats, to short rib-studded, spicy green varieties. We rounded up some of our favorite spoonfuls, as well as a few sights and sounds from Sunday's chili cook-off.

This is a time of transition for the federal IT community, in more ways than one.
Three years into the Obama administration, the excitement about new ways of doing business has given way to the inevitable shakeout, as some ideas fall by the wayside and others begin to take hold.
Along the way, concerns about the growing federal deficit and a high-stakes stand-off over the debt ceiling have led to persistent questions about the size and mission of the federal government.
The administration has already instituted a pay freeze for federal employees, and Congress has considered several other measures that would reduce personnel costs through reductions in staff size and changes in pay. And let's not forget the 2012 presidential elections.
What all this means for the federal IT community remains to be seen. But one way or another, change is coming. With that in mind, we talked with experts around the community to get their sense of what they expect to see in the next act of federal IT.
Budget worries loom large for DOD IT futureDefense officials are looking to IT to lead the way in innovative efficiency.

Workplace flexibility could expand dramatically soonCould a management philosophy that shuns traditional ways of thinking about work soon be a reality for the federal workforce?
Procurement shops to become more automatedThe regulatory-laden federal procurement process is tough to turn in any new direction, but younger employees and tighter budgets might move it slightly.

If you do not do the training you do not meet the standards, but yet they want you to do it on your own time, cause we have projects that need to be done, within the time alotted. You get stressed and worked up about all that has been put on your plate and they still want you to sit in front of a computer and train on courses that do not meet the hour for hour time spent on it.

THE Macmillan Cancer Information and Support service at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is appealing for volunteers who can spare a few hours a week to help visitors affected by cancer.
Volunteers at the trust's Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centres, at the Alexandra, Kidderminster and Worcestershire Royal hospitals, help Macmillan reach more people affected by cancer, and ensure they get the support and information they need.
No two days are the same for Macmillan volunteers as they deal with individuals or families seeking emotional support at any point in their cancer journey, members of the public asking how they can become a fundraiser or what to do about a mole that is worrying them, to name but a few.
Pauline Price, who has been volunteering with Macmillan in Worcestershire for two years, said: "I find it very rewarding and satisfying to help someone who may be at a difficult time in their lives."
Kay Tandy, Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Service Lead said: "The role of the volunteer is absolutely crucial to the success of the Macmillan Cancer Information and Support service in Worcestershire. They enable the centre to open regularly and provide a warm welcome to all those who use the service.
"We are looking for friendly, positive people who are good communicators and listeners, able to relate to people from all walks of life.
"Volunteers come from a range of different backgrounds and experience but all are motivated by the desire to make a difference to those affected by cancer."
For more information about volunteering, call Kay Tandy on 01905 733837 for an informal chat.

Staff was very nice friendly and accommodating Location.
The food is wonderful, the innkeeper himself is very helpful and friendly and will drive you to your first destination after breakfast in most cases. The neighborhood is being rebuilt but has a couple years before it is there.
with a car, very convenient getting to highways dark room, poor telephone services
The room was neat, clean and smelled really good. Housekeeping was perfect. The room had useful appliances and no noise was heard from outside. The subway is pretty close. You can get from O'Hare in 1:30h for $2.25. The neighborhood is really fishy. I do not recommend leaving alone or at hanging around the hotel at night.
spacious room, great access to the L train, comfortable, and very quality for the price.
The staff could see I was very apprehensive a woman on my own in this not so comforting area. They immediately moved me to the Suites were I was locked up safe. I was very scared after being told by an Officer in Chicago Sheriffs department and then the Taxi driver dropping me there. The energy of the property was very scary for me and would never go cheap again. I did not leave my room only to get dinner from the place below.
The room was large and clean. It is right by downtown Chicago. The staff was nice. Can't beat the price. The neighborhood is a little scary. I felt pretty comfortable walking around during the day, but probably wouldn't at night.
The staff was pleasant and very willing to assist. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was good.

Area agencies including the Wilson County Sheriff's Department, Wilson Emergency Management, Sumner Emergency Management, Trousdale County officials and Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency have worked since Sunday evening to locate the body.
On Tuesday, WEMA Director John Jewell said they received additional assistance from the Hendersonville Fire Department dive team and sonar technology from Rutherford County Special Operations.
The body was located "a few miles down" from the area where he was last seen.
WCSD Chief Deputy Larry Bowman said that their "thoughts and prayers go out to the family."
"They have stayed with us here during our search and really worked with us," he said.
Funeral arrangements are in the care of J.C. Hellum Funeral Home, 107 Stokes Street, Lebanon.

Agree with everything except Thad to a point. May I complement you on the kickball line on the Hawes three? He makes Andre Miller's jumper look as smooth as Kobe Bryant's.
I posted this in the other thread about Thad: Offensively he's been deadly efficient scoring the basketball. Even though he's not getting to the line shooting 64 percent! He cuts out the threes, and focuses on the mid-range game and in. That makes him good. He's also taking his time, I don't think I've seen the Thad shuffle once yet.
I think defense is his problem, and we need to do two things to hide him on that end. Play two members of JTI at 1-3, and Battie and Brand at center. He can't be on the floor with Speights, Lou, and Kapono at the same time. That's a recipe for disaster.
Yeah, I don't think we really disagree, you're just a little more optimistic than I am. What I'm saying is that to make up for his defensive deficiencies, he needs to be a well-above average offensive player. I don't think he can keep up the 64% shooting, and since he never gets to the line and rarely hits threes, he really needs to shoot better than 50% to be a real asset on that side of the ball. At 64%, he definitely is, at 52%, not so much. And not enough to offset the defensive damage.
That's kind of a broad view, though. If you look at this team specifically, there are definitely minutes for him even if he's only getting you one point-per-possession. The sad fact is, that's better than some units are capable of.
The sixers played a great game hopefully this will continue on Friday against the cavs. Michael Curry is a horrible coach we need Doug to get better asap.
Looking around the league before I head to bed.
- Favors is much further along than I thought he'd be at this point. Good game for him against the Bobcats tonight. No idea why the Nets have played all four of their games at home, though. Odd.
- DeMarcus Cousins is losing more and more minutes to Sam every night. Tonight, he had 5 fouls in 20 minutes and used 13 shots to score 11 points.
- OKC's smoke-and-mirrors defense from last year looks like nothing but smoke so far this season. Rough night for Durant (0/10 from three). The Clips also got their first win. Big game from Eric Gordon.
- Monta Ellis is looking like a more-efficient gunner this season. GSW is 3-1 now, even without Stephen Curry.
- Kevin Love finally played 30 minutes, in 42-point loss to Orlando. Minnesota is such a mess. Lou for Kevin Love, straight up, make it happen, Rod. Wes Johnson had a rough time in his first start, 3/11 for 8 points. Dwight Howard had 18 points, 16 boards and 8 blocks in 23 minutes in that game. Unbelievable.
OK, that's all I've got. Happy Thursday.
Cousins is doing just fine. This is his first bad game, compared to, what, Turner being a non-factor 75% of the time he's playing. Not that Turner hasn't showed a ton of promise, but Cousins has been the second most productive rookie thus far. Last game he has 10 fourth quarter points, scores 1.6 points per shot and a point per minute. His shot selection is a little troubling but so is the shot selection of practically any big man with range these days.
"Cousins is doing just fine"
I've watched quite a bit of Cousins so far this year, and I definitely notice a disturbing trend that's not yet fully showing up in the boxscore. During high school, he had a reputation of drifting out to the perimeter too much when he could dominate at will in the post. Cal corrected this at Kentucky, but he looks to be reverting to his ways. It first manifested itself in deep two's, but last night he took 4 three's. His perimeter game needs to augment his post-up game, not the other way around.
If Rod could get Love for Lou straight up that would be incredible.
Well the Wolves need another PG, right? :)
Now that is what we've been waiting for. Only 10 turnovers for the team tonight. Big win! Can't wait to watch the game on my DVR tomorrow. This team will be ok. I'm not saying they are a playoff team as currently constructed but I think nobody will want to play us later in the year because there is no quit in this group.
What kind of record does everyone think we would have if a Kevin Love/Iguodala trade happened today? I would guess 44 - 38.
PG Jrue Holiday
SG Evan Turner
SF Thad Young
PF Elton Brand
C Kevin Love
I think that is a very good young squad. I'd venture to say a 6 seed.
1. Orlando
2. Miami
3. Boston
4. Atlanta
5. Chicago
6. Philadelphia
7. Milwaukee
8. New York
Would we have to get rid of Brand at that point? I don't think that would be necessary this year if we had a more balanced team. Love is averaging 17 ppg / 11.5 rpg in 25 minutes per game.
I'd rather suck this year in all honesty. Does that team ever get out of the 2nd round (let alone the 1st).
I see 3 potential All-stars on that team in their prime with Holiday/Turner/Love. Thad has a high ceiling but we just don't know if he'll ever sniff it. The problem with superstars is that they are not going to come to philly unless they are already a good team. This is not NYC. So you go after a JJ Hickson or a Robin Lopez in 2012 who are both restricted free agents and they are all come into their prime at the same time.
I dont think we'd be better than milwaukee this year with love or Iggy, that's a pretty good squad. I love Bogut, did anyone see him get in KG's face last night?
And with that horrible (that word doesn't even really do it justice - http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/25626885 - good read, kinda sad though) deal that Mike Conley just, it sure looks like the Griz will have trouble holding on to Marc Gasol. I'm a fan.
Derrick Favors vs Dwight Howard on Nov 5th. I hope Favors gets to play D against Dwight, atleast for a little while. Dwight has 20 lbs on him but I want to see if Favors mans up with the big boys. God I wish we had him with Jrue, no knock on Turner.
Was at the game last night- Brand was a monster.
The line up that looked the best was the Jrue, Turner, Thad, Iggy, Brand line up. That's the group that really buried the Pacers in the first half. They looked good. And the key to the run was really Brand- they worked it into the post and he made great decisions based on what the defense gave him.
Turner impressed tonight. He was quiet but effective. Good defense and the shots he hit that counted, I think he had 8 pts going into the 4th, were spot up jumpers.
Overall great game!
The Brand-Young-Iguodala combo by itself was +23 for the game. I've always thought that Iguodala and Young play well together, and it showed in this game. What I've seen more this year than in previous years is that Iguodala and Brand have played well together.
Did you guys notice at Indiana's opener Iggy got booed everytime he touched the ball, like he took minutes from Granger at the world games; they shoulda booed Granger, he seems to disappear at times.
Another great effort from Brand - I'm not too worried about the minutes, considering how little he has really played the past 3 seasons. Let him build confidence while he's going good.
I think that Iguodala is trying to play the role that he's best suited for, but the youth/inexperience of the 3 ballhandlers that he defers to will lead to inconsistency in his opportunitites. His defense on Granger was great.
Thad Young - he's just a mediocre NBA player, I don't think that he has one above-average facet of his game. I feel like any number of players (including Nocioni and Kapono) would give you similar production in the same minutes. That is not the kind of player that you extend.
I agree with what you said about Iguodala, but no way Nocioni and Kapono get the same numbers if they play the same minutes as Thad.
People are complaining a little too much for someone giving us 16 and 5 off the bench. I think his D is a problem, and if it doesn't improve over the course of the season I would hesitate in signing him for too much, but that doesn't mean he should be knocked down to Kapono/Nocioni's level. Especially, Kapono's.
I second the comment about Kapono. If he's not hitting his shot, he's quite possibly the worst player in the league. On the court for only 12 minutes last night, he still had time to make two horrendous plays on defense:
* On a Pacer missed shot, somebody tipped the ball out to his man on the baseline. He could have challenged for the loose ball except that he was faceguarding his man (after the shot!) and had his back turned to the play. This interesting block-out technique illustrates why he has 3 rebounds in 40 minutes this year.
* On a Pacer inbounds play, Kapono can be seen gazing into the crowd before he realizes, "!@#$% I'd better cover my man." He then makes a mad dash toward a wide-open Dunleavy, too late to prevent a swished 3. You can see the other Sixers standing around dumbfounded, wondering how Dunleavy got that open. Since it was a blowout win, that was my favorite play of the game other than the first block of Granger by Iguodala.
To be fair to Thad, he currently has a TS% of 62.7%, with an efg% of 61.7%, with a PER of 19.9 and a WS/48 of 0.164. All of those are far more than "treading water".
(He's second on the team in TS%, first in efg%, 3rd in PER, 3rd in WS/48)
He's been very good. My point is that there's no way he's going to maintain the TS% & eFG if he doesn't start getting to the line a lot more and/or making a ton of threes. He's been much better this year than last, but I don't think his scoring efficiency numbers are sustainable w/ the game he's playing and his contributions in all other areas, while improved, are pretty much pedestrian.
I don't disagree with that. I was arguing that he has been effective and efficient, which your post seemed to indicate that even playing as well as he has that he has not been. I believe he has been efficient, but I do agree that he is unlikely to maintain this if he doesn't start getting to the line and hitting three's.
Thad's shot selection is kind of interesting early into the season. Close to half his shot attempts (per game) at the rim.
Yeah, I was more talking about last night's game. As a 50% shooter, he isn't really helping all that much.
The issues with Thad have always been rebounding and defnse more than his ability to get to the basket.
How are those doing?
PS - the best thing about Brand last night was the back to back (over time no less) aspect of it.
Slightly better on the defensive glass. Basically where he was as a rookie. Worse on the offensive glass than when he was a rookie. Defensively, I think he's been better, but still really bad.
So, basically, back to his pre eddie jordan production of all offense and little else?
I thought it was interesting to see how the players responded to Doug Collins's comments going into the game. Supposedly, Collins made turnovers and getting to the foul line a priority. Sixers responded with only 10 turnovers and by going 21-25 from the stripe.
I was impressed with their ability to focus on a problem and correct it. I don't think we've always looked like the most intelligent basketball team. One of the strengths of having players like Iguodala, Holiday, and Turner is that they're smart and can execute when directed. Hopefully, this is something they continue to improve.
Espn said there was around 5000 fans in attendance for last night's game if that's true that's just sad.
I was at the game and that figure sounds about right. People were yelling the same tired 'you make too much money' comments at Brand and Iguodala from the 20th row of the lower level and it would echo throughout the arena. It was a testament to the effort of the players on the court that they played so well in front of such an empty arena.
Not to place a damper on things, but we do have to keep in mind that this was the Pacers, you know. Show me the same thing vs CLE and then we may be on to something. Sadly, I'm not expecting it though.
Eh. Even if they do show the same thing against the Cavs, it's only the Cavs.
Yea if they still had Lebron we might expect a crowd, but it might be just as bad. Until they start winning Philly fans won't show up.
It's funny cause I truly believe part of the reason they picked Turner was to appease the fans who would complain endlessly if they took Favors.
Fans have been endlessly complaining about Turner since they picked him (some even before they picked him).
The fans won't show up until the sixers win in the playoffs. Even when they were getting bitch slapped a couple years ago as the 8 seed they weren't selling out the home playoff games.
True. Which is why I said "may be" on to something.
Not to place a damper on things, but we do have to keep in mind that this was the Pacers, you know.
You mean the team that beat the sixers about 5 days ago?
We've got a busy day here. Key indicators coming up around noon, then at least one more post later in the afternoon. Also, I believe tonight will be the return of SixersBeat, the live radio show Derek Bodner and I host. Check back throughout the day.

The Address produced comparatively little applause and no manifestations of disapprobation.
It was mingled with expressions of disapprobation or sympathy.
She had spoken of Captain De Baron with disapprobation certainly, but had not spoken of him as a fatal danger.
disapprobation hurt me, I found—even that of people whom I did not admire.
He did this to signalise his disapprobation of royalty, and his preference for democratic equality.
He had expressed his disapprobation of the Stamp Act in unqualified terms.
Too cautious to commit herself in words, this lady expressed doubt and disapprobation by her looks.
Other expressions of alarm or disapprobation might be cited.
Hitherto she had kept to herself the disapprobation which she felt at Ned's using the new machinery.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
best place to stay for a night before morning flight from airport in kaunas. kind and understanding owners. very clean. hope it won't be worse.
The late pickup from the airport was brilliant. The host, Anele, is very sociable and helpful. The room was spotless and comfortable plus the facilities were clean and warm. The stay at Anele's added greatly to the trip.
Welcoming hostess, comfortable and clean rooms. Free wi-fi service. Very convenient location close to airport. Very good quality for money.
Location near Kaunas Airport.
Aneles is amazing! She is so helpful and nice! Maybe the location is a litte far from the old town. But the bus is convenient.
The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. The guesthouse itself is quirky and really comfortable and felt like a home-from-home. I really appreciated being able to use computer facilities free of charge. Excellent value for money I was allotted a time of 9am for breakfast, which I found to be too late as I wanted to be out early to catch transport to Vilnius and Klaipeda. I only learnt afterwards that the owner would have accommodated my wish to eat earlier. Would agree that shower curtain in single room not great and it is very easy to flood the room, making it slippy.
Nice modern guesthouse, good internet connection in the room. It is hard to get your luggage to the room located on the 2nd floor without an elevator.
I like this hostel a lot, I will stay there again if I travel there or recommend to my friends. however the pillow isnt so comfortable to me, wish it could be soft but its alright.
Very nice guesthouse, not far from the old town, peace and quiet, excellent value, clean and comfy, breakfast included. The mat under the shower looked suspicious (I don't like the idea of such things in places that many people use), the shower curtain didn't prevent all the water from getting out on the floor.
just in front od bus and tram stop on the main kaunas Boulevard. Family owned it's not a hotel, it's a big house. Perfect.
New Hotel, good for sleep before air flight.
lovely room in lovely setting. owner helpful and friendly delicious big breakfasts. not too near or too far from old town
Very accommodating and hospitable owners. Nice spacious room. Opportunity to relax in the pleasant backyard garden. Location is not ideal for those who want to explore the city by foot - you have to drive to the downtown first

2006 Lexus LS430 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2006 Lexus LS430 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Poor quality low speed transmission shifting may be noted. Our technicians tell us updated transmission software is available which may correct this concern.
Vehicles equipped with premium Mark Levinson stereo may experience no sound or volume that goes to maximum level by itself. An improved amplifier is available to rectify this problem.
The motor for the rear window sunshade in the 2001-2006 Lexus LS430 is known to fail. When this occurs, the sunshade will not extend down the window, and a grinding noise is heard until the motor fails as well.
Replacement of the sunshade assembly is necessary to correct this failure, however, removing the fuse for the sunshade will stop the motor from making the irritating grinding noise.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate due to an O2 sensor heater fault. Most commonly the affected O2 sensor will need to be replaced to correct this concern.
A squeak type noise may be noted from one or both front seats. Squeaks can be caused by contact between the seat track locating pins and the vehicle floor pan. Our technicians tell us the repair involves removing some of the seat locating pins.

Guest post from Trust Tender, Kristin Noelle
Early this week, Consumer Reports ran a national survey in the U.S. that reported that having to interact with certain relatives is one of the top things people dread about the holiday season.
I'm aware even as I type that sentence how ingrained the impulse is to look away from that reality – how difficult it is to name something (e.g. familial challenges) that carries with it so much potential for feelings to get hurt, toes to get stepped on, and hearts to get burned.
Because aren't holidays all about warmth and cheer? Isn't the point of them celebration? And aren't families the heart of the heart of everything – the place where love is supposed to most beautifully and all-encompassingly flourish?
If we blow the cover on all of that and expose ourselves or our families as the messy, awkward, insecure bunch we all are (no matter how lovable), it can feel like we're trampling an important, cultural storyline. So as with our earliest unspoken agreements, when we start to talk about our actual experiences with family, it can feel like the sky will surely fall.
I want to gently, but firmly, give voice to a different story completely.
I want to speak of the sky – the sky of hope, and of the capacity to grow into full adult maturity – that falls, and falls, and continues to fall when we stay silent about or perpetually distracting ourselves from what isn't working for us in our families.
I want to speak of the sky that opens and expands and infuses us with trust as we take steps to name honestly what our experiences have been and what we want to try to learn from them and to heal.
I want to draw new lines around what love is that don't exclude, but actually encompass expressions of anger, bitterness, and resentment, and that leave ample room for "this isn't working for me" and "I'm sorry, but I need to have more space." Lines that recognize healing takes time, and love can be present, in all its messy guises, well the whole way through.
And I want to suggest that the most beautiful, hopeful story of growth and healing and peace-on-earth-good-will-toward-all – in our individual lives, in our families, and in our broader world – may actually have nothing to do with downplaying struggle or keeping up positive appearances, and everything to do with getting as honest and awake as we can be about where we've come from, where we are now, and where we wish to grow.
Kristin Noelle is a Los Angeles based writer, artist, and healer. Her sketch blog, Trust Tending, explores conscious moves we can make to nourish trust. She recently launched an ebook titled Unspiking the Holiday Punch: A Trust Tending guide to self-kindness before, during, and after extended family time – a comforting, practical guide to navigating the relational challenges of holiday gatherings.

Inspired: Miriam Makeba's Vibrant Style
Inspired: Miriam Makeba's Vibrant Style
Afro-pop legend Miriam Makeba, also known as "Mama Africa," died on Sunday at the age of 76 in the south of Italy, following a concert appearance. This powerhouse songstress's long and varied life included marriage to Black Panther Stokely Carmichael, exile from her home country of South Africa, a starring role in the film Sarafina!, about the 1976 Soweto youth uprisings, and an appearance in the 2002 documentary Amandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony.
Over her lifetime Makeba made dozens of records and was responsible for bringing the issue of apartheid to the forefront in Western countries, though she always identified herself first as a singer, not as a political activist. In a condolence message, former South African president Nelson Mandela said "It was fitting that her last moments were spent on a stage, enriching the hearts and lives of others . . . "
To see how Makeba's stage presence and definitive look can translate to your home (as well as aid African women and charities),
As T Magazine noted, "From African headdresses and shoulder-padded caftans, to this very right-now dashiki minidress and go-go boots, Mama Africa's 76-year-old heart may have given out as she was exiting a stage near Naples, Italy, last night, but her look — and the spirit that inspired it — keep on keeping on."
In honor of Makeba's vibrant voice and beautiful stage presence, I wanted to find some home items that reflected her rich persona as well as honored her homeland of Africa. Many of these products also directly benefit charities and artisans in Africa. You can take a look at the widget for some of these Makeba-inspired finds, or shop South African Fair Trade products here.
