One of the very first Frank O'Connor paintings of our deeply beloved Mister Chief. Rendered right-handed, on real paper without using MS-Paint, it leaps the vast gulf of infinitude in terms of sheer and utter quality. Dimensions: 16.00 inches x 17.50 inches. Signed and dated by "Frankie" himself. The painting is currently 'shielded' in a material resembling the exclusive MJOLNIR combat armor and protected from harmful cosmic radiation by a reflection-free/UV-resistant 'visor', all in the midst of deep, black space. And it just looks great! Including a site-address to the painting, as follows: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/File:Charitychief.jpg Writing to check if anyone would be interested in providing Mister Chief hanging on a wall in a new home...? firstname.lastname@example.com

The Mining Activities And The Metal Production In Arycanda In Lycia
Arycanda lies in eastern Lycia, which is in 35.th km of the modern Elmalı – Finike highway. During the excavations since 1971, there were found so many metal artifacts and metal slags especially from the late Roman layers in the city. These finds revealed that there was a specific metal production in Arykanda. This production covers not only the tool production from pure metal, but also includes metal purification process around the city. This metal production industry of Arykanda adds so many important data about the city's industrial situation and the position of city as a part of Lycia metal industry, about which we have very limited information. In this article the author mentioned the history of mining activities in Lycia and the position of Arycanda with the analyzing the slag remains and the other finds.

ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. – Authorities released the name of a 57-year-old pedestrian who was struck and killed Wednesday night on Mayport road.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Glen Keith Waddle of Jacksonville was crossing against the pedestrian crosswalk symbol at the intersection of Mayport and Levy Road around 9:26 p.m. when he was hit by a 2004 Nissan Maxima.
The driver of the Maxima was headed southbound on Mayport Rd. and was unable to see Waddle crossing the road because of his dark clothing.
Troopers say Waddle was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver had no injuries.
Authorities are looking into whether speed, alcohol or drugs were factors. Charges are pending.

Eight years ago, NIDA funded the production of a video by a group of middle school students in Maryland that would answer their questions about drug abuse and the brain. Today that video, "If You Change Your Mind," is still being used by teachers across the country.
"'If You Change Your Mind' was the first product of NIDA's science education program," says Dr. Cathrine Sasek, who directs the program. The Institute established the program in 1991 to improve the quality of science education in grades K-12, to interest children in pursuing careers in scientific research, particularly drug abuse research, and to increase the general public's knowledge of the scientific facts about drug abuse and addiction. The information provided by the program enables children and adults to make educated decisions about drug use and other health matters.
In the years since "If You Change Your Mind" was created, the science education program has produced a variety of appealing materials that communicate information about science, drug abuse, and drug addiction to students, parents, teachers, and the general public. One of the program's most popular products is the Mind Over Matter series, which debuted in 1997. Mind Over Matter's eye-catching magazines showcase the adventures of a girl named Sara Bellum as she explores the brain's response to individual drugs of abuse and communicates key concepts of neuroscience. Other popular products developed through science education grants include:
Scene One, Take One: Maryland middle school students shoot "If You Change Your Mind," the video that helped launch NIDA's Science Education Program.
In 1998, NIDA packaged a number of these and other educational resources into the "NIDA Goes to School" kit and mailed them to science teachers at more than 18,000 public and private middle schools across the country.
The science education program accomplishes its goals through the in-house development of materials, Science Education Drug Abuse Partnership Awards (SEDAPA), and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants. Evaluations conducted by SEDAPA and SBIR grantees over the years show that NIDA's science education programs have improved scientific literacy and corrected
misconceptions about drug abuse and addiction among school children and adults, Dr. Sasek says.
Science education materials and additional information about drugs of abuse can be obtained from the "NIDA Goes Back to School" Web site on NIDA's home page on the World Wide Web at www.nida.nih.gov. A catalogue of NIDA's current science education materials and ordering information can be obtained by clicking on the Publications link on NIDA's home page.

THE MARKETS: STOCKS & BONDS; Some Signs of a Slowing Economy Send Shares Lower
Published: September 22, 2006
Stocks fell yesterday after a report said factory activity shrank in the mid-Atlantic region in September for the first time in more than three years, prompting worries about a slowdown in the economy and corporate profits.
Drugstore stocks fell sharply after Wal-Mart Stores said it would cut generic drug prices in Florida.
Hewlett-Packard, the maker of computers and printers, fell after news reports said its chief executive might have been more closely involved in an investigation of leaks to the news media than was previously known.
''I don't think the question anymore should be whether the economy is slowing; it really should be the degree to which it will slow,'' said Neil Wolfson, president of Wilmington Trust Investment Management in New York. ''The Philly Fed index declined much more than was expected. That is a sign that manufacturers are cutting back, which could be due to the view that consumers will be slowing down.''
The survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia added to concerns raised in an earlier report from the Conference Board, which said its index of leading economic indicators, a major forecasting gauge for the economy, fell in August to its lowest in nearly a year.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 79.96 points, or 0.69 percent, to end at 11,533.23. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was down 7.15 points, or 0.54 percent, to finish at 1,318.03. The Nasdaq composite index was down 15.14 points, or 0.67 percent, to close at 2,237.75.
Only 9 of the Dow's 30 components finished higher.
Shares of Hewlett-Packard lost 5.2 percent, or $1.91, to $34.87. H.P. was the top drag on both the Dow and S.& P. 500.
Wal-Mart's move threatened to lure customers away from pharmacy chains like Walgreen and CVS, whose shares have climbed steadily since summer as consumer staples came back into favor.
Shares of Walgreen dropped 7.3 percent, or $3.67, to $46.28, while shares of CVS slid 8.4 percent, or $2.96, to $32.47. Rite Aid fell 5 percent, or 24 cents, to $4.52, and Longs Drug Stores fell 4.2 percent, or $2.04, to $46.01. Wal-Mart shares slipped 0.8 percent, or 41 cents, to $48.46.
The worries about the strength of consumer spending and corporate profits were made worse by the climb in crude oil futures prices, which rose more than 1 percent in a rebound on technical factors after hitting a six-month low Wednesday.
Exxon Mobil's stock, up 1 percent, or 67 cents, at $64.78, was the top gainer in both the Dow and the S.& P. 500. Shares of Chevron rose 1.9 percent, or $1.17, to $62.05, while the stock of ConocoPhillips rose 1.7 percent, or 96 cents, to $58.21.
Crude oil for November delivery rose 85 cents, to settle at $61.59 a barrel, off a session high at $61.80.
The Nasdaq's biggest percentage losers included shares of the interactive content provider Infospace, down nearly 22 percent, or $4.93, at $17.68. The company said its revenue and operating results would be hurt by a partner's plans for direct licensing deals with record labels early next year.
Technology-related shares fell broadly, with I.B.M. down 2.2 percent, or $1.81, at $81.61, and Apple Computer off almost 1 percent, or 61 cents, at $74.65. I.B.M. ranked as the second-biggest drag on the Dow, behind H.P., while Apple was the heaviest weight on the Nasdaq 100.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note declined to 4.64 percent, from 4.73 percent. The price, which moves in the opposite direction from the yield, rose 24/32, to 101 28/32.

|Ian Kershaw.
"Drawing on many previously unutilized sources, Kershaw describes the Draconian measures taken by Hitler's henchmen -- Himmler, Goebbels, Goring, Bormann, and others -- to tighten the Nazi grip on the home front without significant resistance from the German people. In the Fuhrer's name, Gestapo and SS leaders orchestrate and carry out the persecutions that lead to the death camps of the Holocaust." "After the D-Day invasion and a steady stream of defeats on the Eastern Front, Hitler is virtually alone in insisting that victory is still possible. When Hitler asserts that his survival after an assassination attempt by German officers on July 20, 1944, "is a sign of Providence that I must continue my work," Kershaw depicts a beleaguered fanatic prepared to leave his country in ruins. Ten months later, while his shattered forces desperately attempt to stave off the Russian onslaught on Berlin, Hitler spends his final days, chillingly documented here, in a bunker under the city until he ends his life with a pistol shot to his head." "Throughout this masterful account, Kershaw never loses sight of the German people and their massive support for Hitler and the Nazi regime. "Decades would not fully erase," he observes, "the simple but compelling sentiment painted in huge letters" in Munich shortly after the surrender to the Allies: "I am ashamed to be a German."

DALLAS -- Brenden Morrow is just a couple of lucky bounces away from a milestone.
Morrow had 98 career goals in the NHL heading into last night's game against the Calgary Flames. But the way the Dallas Stars winger sees it, he still has a long way to go.
"Two away from 100 is pretty good," said the Carlysle, Sask. product. "My idol growing up was Brett Hull so I'm only about 600 behind him now."
Actually, it's 643 behind the recently retired sniper -- but nobody's counting.
"The best part about it, I think I shot about 30 of them in the net," joked Morrow, who toiled for the WHL Portland Winter Hawks as a Stars prospect while his idol won the Stanley Cup with the big club in 1999. "The other 70 have hit me and gone in. They count no matter how they go in."
Morrow is one of 81 Canadians named to the country's list of potential players for the Turin Olympics in February.
He has performed well in the past for Canada in world championships and world junior tournaments but the reality is many great players will be left off the final roster in February.
That doesn't take anything away from being named to the lengthy 'short list.'
"It's an honour to be top 80 in Canada. Canada could probably have two or three teams in the Olympics," said Morrow. "There's going to be some tough decisions and that's a good thing for management to have.
"It's a pretty big deal. I've had an opportunity to be part of the Canadian program for a number of years and every experience has been great."
Olympic hopefuls have ample added motivation to perform as individuals this season but making the cut is not something Morrow thinks about on game day.
"You might put a little extra pressure on yourself to do well but once the game starts that's not on your mind. You're worrying about who you're playing, what your job is, what your role is, helping your team win," he said.

2012 Election: Some election issues reported in D.C. region
United States of America: Full national results | Electoral Map | Key Races Map
District of Columbia: Washington
Maryland: Statewide | Anne Arundel, Calvert and Charles Counties | Frederick, Howard and Montgomery Counties | Prince George's and St. Mary's Counties
Virginia: Statewide | Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax City | Fairfax County, Falls Church and Fauquier | Loudoun, Manassas and Manassas Park | Prince William, Spotsylvania and Stafford
Officials say several D.C. poll workers didn't show up Tuesday, so 70 extra volunteers were sent out across the city to help but lines were so long in some places.
Vanessa Simpson is nine months pregnant and was frustrated by a three hour wait time at Walker Jones School and Library.
"Lack of machines there is only one touch screen the rest are paper ballots I mean it just chaotic," she says.
At three D.C. precincts ABC7 only saw one electronic voting machine.
In District Heights, Maryland, eight voting machines went down
The lines at Francis Scott Key Elementary were so long an elderly man collapsed.
And south to Virginia, in Crystal City, where a three hour long line wasn't due to lack of workers or voting machines - volume was the problem.

$334 million mortgage settlement
Out of $334 million in cash payments sent to Florida in a multibillion dollar mortgage settlement with major banks, more than $33 million will go to help bolster the state's budget. Florida is one of several states taking a portion of the $2.5 billion in cash payments from big banks and using it for programs not directly related to the foreclosure crisis, according to ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative journalism organization. The ProPublica story, entitled Billion Dollar Bait & Switch: States Divert Foreclosure Deal Funds, can be found here.

Next generation microwave power module launched by TMDHayes, Middlesex, United Kingdom, May 21, 2009 --[ASDWire]-- A brand new microwave power module (MPM) is being launched by TMD Technologies at the IEEE's International Microwave Symposium in Boston, MA. The PTX8207 includes a "next generation" high power mini-TWT to provide a wider frequency range and higher power than previous models. The PTX8207 is specified to provide a mid-band power of 140 W and an operating frequency range of 4.5-18 GHz.
The MPM includes a high performance modulator to permit pulsed or CW operation, which makes the PTX8207 equally suitable for radar, EW and communications applications.

As with all TMD's MPMs it provides high efficiency and reliability and is ultra compact and lightweight. All components are fully integrated, making installation of the MPM as a "drop in" amplifier block, simple and safe.
The module has already generated considerable interest, and has secured orders from Europe and the Middle East. Demonstration units are available now for customer evaluation, and one will be at a potential USA customer's premises at the time of the show.
TMD Technologies can be found on Stand 2714 at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium on 9-11 June 2009, Boston, MA, USA. Literature will be available on the stand or via the TMD website www.tmd.co.uk

shes beautiful, nice picture
Nice draw...I checked out your blog, very cool! 5/5 Sometimes glitches do happen, that's why I always save my finished draw before submitting...just in case. So if something happens you can make sure you don't lose your drawing or fix it if need be.
Steph, thanks. I tried to quick save 2 drawings, one just yesterday. When I tried to retrieve them it says there is nothing in the folder I saved them in. I can't find any help in the help section that makes sense or works to solve this problem.
Sorry...I should have said 'save as RMD file.'
One thing I just noticed is that the black line is not in the thumb...weird. IDK why the folder would be empty...perhaps the 'save to your computer' option would work for you?
Yes, isn't that weird? How can it not be on the thumbnail? Thanks for your suggestions. As it is now, I'm afraid to use quicksave which means I have to stay on the site till my drawing is completely finished. I'll figure it out sooner or later.
Very interesting work! 5/5
Thank you Katze. :-)
i love the style of your artwork and the characters expression the way you drew her arms and face plus the gadget in the background 5h fav
Thank you JB, but I'm a little upset because that black line that extends from the upper left corner and extends to the right margin was not there when I saved this drawing. It must be some glitch. Oh well. Not much I can do about it.

Failing to complete the construction works of the Kuril and Gulistan-Jatrabari flyovers by last month, the builders have extended the deadlines until June.
Project officials of the two flyovers have attributed the failure to frequent hartals.
The 3.1-km-long, one-way Kuril flyover was slated to open to traffic on March 30 while the 10.8-km-long Gulistan-Jatrabari flyover (also known as Mayor Mohammad Hanif Flyover) on March 26.
Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha is implementing the Kuril flyover project whereas Dhaka South City Corporation is carrying out the Gulistan-Jatrabari flyover project.
Rajuk Chairman Nurul Huda said due to frequent hartals, construction materials coming from Chittagong and Sylhet could not arrive in time.
"If everything goes well, they will be able to finish the [Tk 254 crore] Kuril flyover by June," he added.
The Project Builders Ltd Bangladesh along with Major Bridge Engineering Corporation China is constructing the Kuril flyover.
"We have faced around 40 days of hartals since December," said Shawkat Hussain, director of Project Builders. "The construction works were affected not only during the hartal days but also immediately before and after the days due to violence."
Project director of the Kuril flyover Abdul Baki Mia said 85 percent of the work has been done so far.
Commuters coming from the west of the capital will use loop-1 to go to Pragati Sarani and Purbachal. Commuters from Pragati Sarani and adjoining areas will use loop-2 on their way to Nikunja. Both these loops have been completed.
Two more loops that are under construction will be used by passengers from Banani and the west side of Airport Road to go to Pragati Sarani. Passengers from Purbachal area can also take these loops on their way to Banani.
The Kuril flyover was initially supposed to be completed by the end of last year. The deadline was extended until March due to the delay in the shifting of a high-voltage electric line from the pathway of the flyover.
The reasons for the delay in building the Gulistan-Jatrabari flyover include frequent hartals and an illegal bus terminal at Fulbaria, which makes up part of the construction site, said an official of the flyover project on condition of anonymity.
A large number of buses are parked haphazardly at Fulbaria every day, creating obstacles to other vehicles, including those that are engaged in the construction of the flyover.
Around 80 percent of the work has been completed and it should be possible to open the flyover to public in June, said Ashiqur Rahman, director of the project.
The flyover, which has 12 ramps, will be connected to Dhaka-Chittagong highway, Dhaka-Mawa highway, Dhaka-Demra road and Atish-Dipankar road and the roads to Sayedabad, Motijheel, Gulistan, Bangabandhu Avenue and Palashi.
Failing to complete the construction works of the Kuril and Gulistan-Jatrabari flyovers by last month, the builders have extended the deadlines until June.

NEW YORK, United States — A couple of years ago, after a dinner to celebrate the first edition of Style.com's print magazine, I was introduced to a sprightly, almost boyish, gentleman with salt and pepper hair and a pair of round, preppy spectacles.
"You're The Business of Fashion?" he asked me with a sense of genuine excitement. "Well, you and I need to have a conversation, because I love what you are doing."
An outsider to the New York publishing world, I did not know Peter Kaplan then. But we soon struck up a friendship: me, the young upstart editor; and he, the veteran who had played a pivotal role in reinvigorating The New York Observer and, more recently, in overseeing the editorial direction of Fairchild Fashion Media, the division of Condé Nast which publishes Women's Wear Daily and Style.com.
I looked up to Peter as a mentor from the moment we first sat down and talked properly in his office, which was always piled high with magazines and newspapers. He was curious about my own professional journey and told me again and again: "Keep doing what you're doing, and don't lose your point of view."
As I later learned, Peter was a real editor's editor, having mentored and trained writers who would become key staffers at some of New York's most important and respected media organisations, from The New Yorker to The New York Times. During his time as editor-in-chief of The Observer, he also oversaw a new column called "Sex and the City" by a then unknown Candace Bushnell. That one column came to capture and define the New York of the late 1990s, and spawned a television show of the same name that would, in turn, help brands like Jimmy Choo to gain mass prominence.
One of the things that I valued most about talking with Peter was that, despite coming from an old media background, he wasn't afraid of the digital world and seemed rather fascinated by the opportunities it offered to a whole new generation of writers and editors. In fact, his energy and belief in BoF was one of the things that kept me going this year as I moved the publication out of my apartment and into a real office, built the team and tried to make a proper business out of it.
The last time I saw Peter was at a menswear show in Milan. He was seated across from me wearing a yellow baseball cap, which struck me as odd, as I thought of his salt and pepper hair as a personal trademark. Later, I heard that he was unwell and I thought about writing him an email to see how he was doing, but hesitated because I thought it would be indiscreet of me to ask about his health.
I was very saddened to hear that he passed away on Friday after battling with lymphoma for over a year. I am grateful that I had had the chance to know him and to see the sparkle in his eye and the energy he put into his work.
My only wish is that I had written him that email and let him know how much of an impact he had on me. I will miss him, and our conversations.

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, Jan. 29 (HealthDay News) -- Being open about their
sexual orientation offers health benefits for lesbians, gays and
bisexuals, according to a new study.
"Coming out is no longer a matter of popular debate but a matter of public health," said study lead author Robert-Paul Juster, of the Centre for Studies on Human Stress at the University of Montreal's Louis H. Lafontaine Hospital.
He and his colleagues looked at 87 men and women, about age 25,
who had different sexual orientations (gay, lesbian, bisexual or
heterosexual) and found that lesbians, gays and bisexuals who were
out to others had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and
fewer symptoms of anxiety, depression and burnout.
When a person is under chronic stress, cortisol contributes to
"wear and tear" on a number of the body's systems. Taken together,
this strain is called allostatic load, the study said.
"Our goals were to determine if the mental and physical health of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals differs from heterosexuals and, if so, whether being out of the closet makes a difference. We used measures of psychiatric symptoms, cortisol levels throughout the day, and a battery of over 20 biological markers to assess allostatic load," Juster said in a university news release.
The researchers found that, contrary to their expectations, gay
and bisexual men had lower depressive symptoms and allostatic load
levels than heterosexual men. And, "lesbians, gay men, and
bisexuals who were out to family and friends had lower levels of
psychiatric symptoms and lower morning cortisol levels than those
who were still in the closet," Juster added.
The findings, published Jan. 29 in the journal
Psychosomatic Medicine, highlight the positive effect that
self-acceptance and being open about their sexual orientation can
have on the health and well-being of lesbians, gays and bisexuals,
the study authors said.
But that may only be the case in open and tolerant
"Coming out might only be beneficial for health when there are tolerant social policies that facilitate the disclosure process," Juster said. On the other hand, he added, societal intolerance during the disclosure process generates increased distress and contributes to mental and physical health problems.

curve. Over the past four years the average has been closer to 19.
Finally, in the past ten days, Chinese shares have gone from being cheap to something much more attractive. Chinese stocks are "on fire" according to one report from Yahoo Finance.
Leading the charge were Chinese social networking stocks, up more than 20 percent as a group. China's own Facebook, Renren (NYSE:RENN), gained 45 percent over the week. But results like that are a bit of a fluke. Renren bounced only after a huge drop following its IPO.
Meanwhile, Youku (NYSE:YOKU), China's version of YouTube, jumped after the company announced it had partnered with Warner Bros. to offer U.S. video-on-demand to Chinese internet users.
Those may be today's hot names in China, but much more important is the trend among mainstream industries.
As you can see below, the Shanghai Composite Index is rebounding substantially after a weak first half.
Shanghai Composite Index, One Month
As I predicted last week, Chinese stocks have indeed begun a sustained move, based on some key market-movers.
Most important, is the potential easing of tight money policies. China's Vice Premier, Wang Qishan, signaled a shift when he urged the country's lenders to increase financing to small companies that are having problems raising funds. Small and medium enterprises in China's industrial south are starving for cash. If Beijing successfully opens the spigots, the results could be life-saving.
A Slowdown Boosts Market Confidence
The last thing that America wants is a slowdown in its economic indicators. But in China, too-high growth figures mean rising inflation. And that in turn results in more economic tightening from Beijing.
China's central bank has raised interest rates four times and bank reserve ratios twelve times and since the start of last year in an effort to tame inflation.
But the latest indication that this tightening trend will moderate is a new figure called the non-manufacturing PMI. This purchasing managers' index slowed from a sky-high 61.9 in May to 57, a big drop of almost five points. (Any figure above 50 indicates growth.)
It's not the most famous indicator being watched in China but it did move stock markets on Monday. The non-manufacturing PMI is based on data from twenty industries including real estate, transport, retail, catering and software.
While America was celebrating the Fourth of July, traders in Shanghai were enjoying a celebration of their own. The Shanghai Composite Index jumped 1.76 percent to rise above the 2800 mark with energy and financial companies among the biggest one-day gainers.
Increasing volume in Shanghai may indicate that more investors are coming back into the market. Daily A-share turnover in Shanghai exceeded 100 billion yuan last week, the first time we've seen that kind of money flow since April.
A Thirty Percent Jump?
Now, I'm suddenly hearing a lot of major global brokerages getting on the bandwagon. Standard Chartered's leading analyst told Bloomberg,
"China's stocks are the "most attractive" globally and investors should buy more of the nation's equities as the government achieves a "soft landing" for the economy."
And, Nomura of Japan says:
"Chinese stocks will offer "buying opportunities" in the second half as valuations have already factored in monetary policy tightening amid "less aggressive" interest-rate increases."
Other Asian brokerages, including Citic, CIC and Shenyin & Wanguo Securities say the Shanghai Composite Index is due for a serious second half rally. How big a rally?
CITIC Securities, China's biggest brokerage, has announced a six-month target of 3500 for the Shanghai index. That's a rally of about 30 percent from current levels!
Shenyin & Wanguo Securities says a pessimistic market has priced-in the worst, and signs that overheating is easing signals a turnaround.
Even the worst pessimist about China's market, economist Nouriel Roubini is on board. True, Roubini still expects a "hard landing" for the Chinese economy in 2013. But for the time being he expects growth to continue at a moderate 8.8 percent.
One last note, other Asian Indexes are also showing optimism. In particular, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index enjoyed a bounce of almost two percent on the July Fourth holiday. Macau casino stocks were among the big gainers in that market as gaming revenues rose again.
Other big gainers in Shanghai were metals producers and auto makers. There is considerable speculation that Beijing will bring out new measures to end the slump in auto buying. Gold miners also enjoyed big gains.
I'll close with the words of the chief equity strategist for London-based Standard Chartered. In the Bloomberg interview he declared:
"The China market is the most promising market among the major markets in the world."
I say Shanghai is already fulfilling that promise.

Q Smith started her Wednesday early, especially for an actress. She was up by 7 to get ready for her first full day in Albuquerque.
She was transported to the studios of KASA Fox 2 for a live appearance on New Mexico Style with Nikki Stanzione. She was on the air by 8:20 and singing a few minutes later. She worried how she'd sound that early in the morning, but seemed pleased with her performance. Nikki came back onto the set misty-eyed and gave Q a hug.
Next up was a trip to the studios of The Peak with Jackie, Tony and Donnie. She stepped into the studio at 9:20 and was on the air a few minutes later. Tony, having heard that she had sung on New Mexico Style, asked her what song she had performed. "Baby Got Back," said Q. Everyone laughed. Tony encouraged her to sing for them. Q turned the tables and suggested that Tony sing instead. He begged off with a long explanation that no one bought. He did suggest, though, that everyone stop by Q's website, qperstar.com. (I recommend it, too.)
Then it was on to KHFM to record a quick interview to air Thursday night on a feature that Brent Stevens and I typically run for Popejoy. Brent usually interviews me about upcoming shows, but Brent's on vacation,so I interviewed Q. She talked about how much she loves her job. For the third time that morning, a long morning for a night owl.
As I was taking her back to her hotel, she asked if we could stop somewhere to pick up a sandwich since she hadn't had a chance to eat. I took her to House of Bread. As soon as she walked in, she was overwhelmed with the incredible aroma in that shop. After she ordered, she told me she was trying to cut back on carbs. Then she bought two loaves of dessert breads to take to the theater that night for the cast and crew.
While she was waiting for her salad, the owner of the store, Dennis Vik, mentioned that he was in rehearsals for 1776, opening in Rodey Theatre next weekend. Q said she loved the score and asked him what part he was playing. Lyman Hall, he responded. I asked him what his favorite part of the show was. He mentioned the songs "Sit Down, John" and "Cool, Cool Considerate Men." He blushed mildly as he talked about the show and his role in it. He clearly loved being in the show. His wife, he said, would be playing violin in the pit. Dennis' store, by the way, opens at 7am. Rehearsals at this stage of preparedness can run late, often past 10pm.
That night, Q Smith went to Popejoy for the Albuquerque opening of Mary Poppins to do what she loves: performing for live audiences. She told me that she's been touring with the show for four years and, this fall, will join the Broadway cast. She beamed a little as she talked about it. Much like Dennis had.
Q finishes her run here this Sunday night. Dennis begins a three-weekend run next Friday. You ought to see at least one of them doing that thing they love. They're doing it for you.

Quality control, inspection applications benefit from new vision sensor
Inspector I20 Flex vision sensor augments Sick's line of Inspector vision sensors by providing new features that include interchangeable lenses and an I/O extension module with up to 16 outputs.
Minneapolis, MN–Sick, a manufacturer of sensors, safety systems, machine vision and automatic identification products for factory and logistics automation, announces its Inspector I20 Flex vision sensor. The unit augments Sick's existing line of Inspector vision sensors by providing new features that include interchangeable lenses and an I/O extension module with up to 16 outputs. The latter makes the sensor appropriate for any high-speed sensing application in the packaging industry.
The I20 offers four different lens options that make it easy to quickly alter the field of view based on the type of application. In addition, the I/O extension module enables users to program up to 19 outputs. These additional outputs, along with the unit's ability to logically combine detailed inspection tools, provide improved confirmation on pass/fail inspections.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

UPDATE: We have received a well written response from Boca Falls President Marjorie Licht who recently returned to the President's post. She clarifies that Palm Beach County was extremely slow In issuing permits, and vendors will not be given multi-day passes to the community which we originally reported. Her letter follows the initial article, below.
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — West Boca mega community Boca Falls is closing one of its two main gates for an eight week renovation, forcing what could be hundreds of drivers to enter and exit the community through an unmanned gate meant to provide access to Waters Edge Elementary School. The closure, inexplicably, comes in the days after the elementary school reopens for the new school year. Drivers exiting by Waters Edge will be forced into traffic patterns for West Boca High School and Loggers Run Middle School — potentially doubling traffic for both schools.
The closure is part of a controversial renovation plan within Boca Falls, leading to a $1200 per home special assessment. It is unclear why the closure was set to coincide with the start of the school year. School has been closed since early June.
There was no immediate response as to whether the school district or PBSO were notified of the potential traffic havoc, or if the community will hire crossing guards to monitor and manage the increased vehicle traffic by the schools
BocaNewsNow.com has also learned that vendors will be provided with long-term placards during the gate closure.
Despite a significant 2013 burglary in the community which remains unsolved, vendors will only be required to show ID once during the two months of the Glades Road gate renovation, then during the expected Palmetto Park Road gate renovation.
Hi. I'm the HOA president since June. Here are the issues with the gate. The project for gate renovation requires complete closure of each gate for approx. 8 weeks (it could be less depending on the weather). Since we have 722 homes, using only one gate for entry and egress makes no sense. Think what you would feel if you lived in The Estates and Palmetto was your only option – or the opposite when Palmetto is closed and you live in Crystal Pointe. Only residents will be able to use the Shorewind Gate for entry, and we are making it a 24-hoour gate during construction (right now it turns off at 8pm).
Also, in your story, you mentioned that "vendors" will be given passes. That is inaccurate. We will be giving "14-day passes" to non-vendors that enter daily in order to speed up access through the main gate – people like grandmothers that provide childcare, nannies, healthcare providers who come daily, etc. Not lawn services, pest control services, etc.
And why now? Because we just got the permits approved that were submitted 3 months ago. Palm Beach County is incredibly slow in its approval process. This is actually quicker than the approval process for our monument permits that took more than 4 months, and that was considered a smaller project in the eyes of the County.

Write-in candidate seeks county board position
A write-in candidate has emerged for the Douglas County Board District 5 position.
Bill Dropik announced his plans last week. He's running against incumbent Dan Olson, the only one who filed for the seat in May.
District 5 includes Alexandria Township and Alexandria's City Ward 3.
Dropik said that he regrets that he didn't file before the deadline but after serious consideration and support from others, he decided to get in the race.
"I feel voters deserve a choice when voting on a ballot," he said.
Dropik believes he has the ability to work well with others individually and in groups - something he hopes to bring to the board.
"I believe the county and the city of Alexandria should work together for the best interests of all residents and taxpayers," he said.
Dropik added that the issue involving the new county jail and the Law Enforcement Center - Alexandria is pursuing its own police station separate from the sheriff's office - is an example "where more effort should have been used in those projects" to construct only one shared facility.
Dropik also believes he has the experience for the position because he's served on previous boards dealing with budgets of up to $20 million, and he's worked with unions and employees.
"I'm asking the citizens of District 5 for their support," he said.
Olson said he's seeking his third term in office to complete many projects that he helped plan - the new jail, the hospital expansion and the incinerator upgrade.
"I want to see those projects through," he said.
In his next term, he said he wants to continue to explore cost sharing ideas with other counties, such as the five-county public health agreement that the board approved this week.
"I think we can merge more things with other counties to be more cost efficient," he said.
Olson said that tough decisions need to be made to keep the county budget under control. He added that he's a "common-sense type of guy" who doesn't like to micromanage.
Olson said he wants to stay closely connected with District 5 constituents, responding to their concerns and questions. "I've tried to represent the district well and I've also worked with the Alexandria Township Board," he said.
Olson has served on many other boards that work with the commissioners - West Central Community Action (as treasurer), Rainbow Rider (vice chair), Prime West Health, Douglas/Pope Solid Waste Management and Lakeland Mental Health, for example.
"I also work with the lake associations for good results," he added. "I try to be consistent and open."
The Douglas County Board election will take place on November 2.

|FSS Related Acquisition Purchasing Programs | Open Market Waiver Request Process
1. What is the VA Federal Supply Schedule Program?
Delegated authority by the General Services Administration the VA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Service supports the health care acquisition needs of the VA and other Government agencies. Our program manages 9 multiple award Schedules for medical equipment, supply, pharmaceutical, and service contracts (FSC 65, 66, and 621). Managing over 1,800 contracts and earning nearly $11 billion in annual sales, the VA FSS Service provides federal customers with access to over 1 million state-of-the-art commercial medical and health care related products & services.
Our Vision: To be the foremost source for quality healthcare products and services.
Our Mission: To provide world class healthcare products and services through performance excellence that is demonstrated by contractual competence, timeliness, innovations, and results-driven solutions while assuring accountability to our Federal customers and taxpayers.
2. What are the defining characteristics & benefits of the VA Schedule program?
VA Schedule program offers numerous benefits to our contractors and customers:
3. What is a Multiple Award Schedule contract, and why should I get one?
A Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) acquisition vehicle that is available for use by federal agencies worldwide. Under the MAS program, GSA & VA enter into Government–wide contracts with responsible commercial firms to provide over 11 million simple and complex supplies & services. All pricing, terms & conditions are determined to be fair and reasonable by a specially trained and warranted contracting officer.
Interagency agreements are not required and the Economy Act does not apply when an agency places an order against a MAS contract.
4. What is the relationship between the General Services Administration and the VA Federal Supply Schedule Service?
The General Services Administration (GSA) has overall responsibility for the management and policy development of the Federal Government's Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) programs for supplies and services through the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949. This act established GSA's FSS as a central organization to provide an economic and efficient system for the procurement, supply, and disposal of surplus property, and performance of related functions.
GSA has delegated the responsibility of managing FSS programs related to medical products and services to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Through this delegation, the VA National Acquisition Center (NAC) manages the FSS programs for all medical related products under FSC classes 65 and 66. In 2001, the VA Schedules program was expanded to include services under FSS programs 621 I (Professional and Allied Healthcare Staffing Services), and 621 II (Reference Laboratory Services) was added shortly thereafter.
5. What agencies are eligible to purchase against FSS contracts?
GSA Order ADM 4800.2F, Eligibility to Use GSA Sources of Supply and Services, provides detailed information regarding those agencies, activities, and organizations that are eligible to use Schedule contracts.
6. What FSS programs does the VA administer?
The VA FSS Service manages nine (9) multiple award schedule programs:
|Drugs, Pharmaceuticals, & Hematology Related Products
|Medical Equipment & Supplies
|Dental Equipment & Supplies
|Patient Mobility Devices
|X-Ray Equipment & Supplies
|Invitro Diagnostics, Reagents, Test Kits, & Test Sets
|Cost-Per-Test, Clinical Laboratory Analyzers
|Professional & Allied Healthcare Staffing Services
|Medical Laboratory Testing & Analysis Services
7. How can distributors that have been added to a manufacturer' FSS contract by modification respond to RFQs posted on GSA eBuy?
Only VA Schedule contractors are eligible to respond to RFQs posted on GSA eBuy. Authorized distributors should work with the manufacturer to determine their role.
8. Will the NAC Contract Catalog Search Tool and GSA Advantage! be combined?
At this time there aren't any specific plans to combine the CCST and GSA Advantage! databases. We are, however, continuing to work with GSA's Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) to get access to some of their enhanced electronic contracting systems.
9. Is there a link to a list of all VA FSS contracting officers and the geographic areas that they cover?
Our contracting officers are not responsible for a specific geographic area. You can find the contact information for our contracting officers in the NAC Contract Catalog Search Tool.
10. We were awarded a VA Schedule contract but have not yet received any task/delivery orders from ordering agencies. How do we maximized our contract to access these opportunities?
There is no easy answer to this; however, we offer some tips and tricks for accessing the federal marketplace on our marketing page.
It is important to remember that you need to market your products to federal customers just as you do to your commercial ones. One of the marketing tools in your arsenal is your Authorized FSS paper Price List. By turning this document into a marketing toll you will position your firm to enter the federal marketplace.
11. If my company is purchased in whole or by another company that also maintains a VA Schedule contract is my contract still valid? Or will the responsibility of my contracted items fall to the new owner?
There are several factors to consider when determining your course of action if your contract has been purchased in whole by another company that maintains a VA Schedule contract.
12. What forms should we use to process a name change and/or novation?
FAR 42.1204(e)(f) detail the documents that need to be submitted to our office to support a novation action. FAR 42.1204(i) provides the novation agreement template that must be completed by the transferor, transferee, and the Government. Once these documents have been completed (excepting the signature of a contracting officer on the agreement itself), an administrative change RFM should be submitted along with the supporting documents.
Name changes are handled in a similar manner. The specific documentation requirements are detailed in FAR 42.1205. Again, the request for a change of name should be submitted using the administrative changes RFM, along with the requirements of 42.1205.
It is important that you advise and consult your assigned contract specialist any time your company proposes either of these actions.
13. We have non-disclosure agreements in place for our commercial customers and may not be able to provide these commercial agreements with our proposal. How will this be handled by my assigned contract specialist?
Pursuant to FAR 3.104-3, the Government is required to treat all information disclosed in your offer as confidential - meaning that it will not be shared or handled by non-authorized Government personnel.
During the webinar we mis-spoke when we indicated that the Government will always accept partially redacted versions of an offeror's commercial agreements if said agreements contain a confidentiality provision.
In response to question 3 of Exhibit 5 — Commercial Sales Practices Format, if an offeror indicates that it is not proposing pricing to the Government that is equal to or better than commercially established pricing, then the offeror must provide either copies of the commercial agreements themselves or an extract of the salient terms and conditions. Your assigned contract specialist, or the OIG (if conducting a pre-award review), can require that you provide non-redacted copies of these commercial agreements if they determine that it is necessary to make a fair and reasonable pricing determination, and/or to verify the accuracy of the disclosures included in your proposal.
Commercial agreements are also used to verify the terms, conditions, and pricing of the proposed and/or negotiated tracking customer. In the event that you are not willing or able to provide a non-redacted commercial agreement when requested by your assigned contract specialist your offer may be returned (partially or in whole) without further consideration.
You may want to consider amending your commercial agreements to allow for the disclosure of customer contracts for official federal Government purposes.
14. What types of items are considered to be "high tech medical equipment" (HTME)? How are contracts that currently offer HTME products handled?
High Tech Medical Equipment (HTME) is a broadly used term that generally refers to various technical modalities and sophisticated systems. To the FSS Service HTME signifies radiological (imaging) and radiation therapy equipment, including: computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography and mdash computed tomography (PET/CT), picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), linear accelerator, bone densitometers, fluoroscopy, mammography, nuclear medicine, diagnostic ultrasound upgrades AND accessories, x–ray equipment (computerized radiography AND digital radiography, nuclear and the like.
As indicated in the No Award Checklist we will not award Portable X-Ray, Portable C-Arm, Ultrasound, CR Readers, Bone Densitometers, MRI, CT, Radiographic Equipment, Fluoroscopy, Mammography, IR, Nuclear Medicine, Cath Labs, Hybrid OR, Linear Accelerator, PACS and PET-CT (list is not all inclusive). The most definitive listings of products that are considered HTME are included on the second page of M6–Q8–06, Imaging and M6–Q3–05, Radiation Therapy — both of which can be viewed on the HTME page.
We cannot award these HTME items to VA FSS contracts as purchases of such equipment fall within the domain of our organization's National Contract Service High Tech Medical Equipment Division. Accordingly, our FSS contracts do not include special item numbers for HTME. In cases where we inadvertently included HTME items in an FSS contract, we will take action to remove such products from the contract.
15. Where in the solicitation does it state that similar pricing will be used as a price analysis?
The solicitation itself does not explain exactly how evaluation of prices will be accomplished.
GSAM 538.270 and 271 provide guidance on the evaluation of multiple award schedule (MAS) offers and awarding MAS contracts, respectively. Both citations clearly articulate the requirement for the contracting officer to determine the offered prices to be fair and reasonable before a contract may be awarded. GSAM 538.271 refers the reader to FAR 15.4, Contract Pricing. As indicated in FAR 15.4, the Government may use various price analysis techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price. One of those techniques is the comparison of proposed prices with prices obtained through market research for the same or similar items.
16. What is considered a "timely fashion" when it comes to responding to a contract specialist's request for additional information?
An appropriate length of time to provide additional or updated information may vary from case to case. Your assigned contract specialist will use their best judgment to determine an appropriate suspense date based on the specific situation. To be timely, your response must be provided by the suspense date provided by your assigned contract specialist. It is essential that you communicate with your assigned contract specialist and inform them if you will be unable to meet the suspense date provided. If you have not discussed your company's suspense date with the contract specialist, the requested information will be expected not later than the date identified in the request.
If your contract specialist did not indicate a suspense date, we recommend following up with them upon receipt of the request to determine when your response is required.
17. What happens if I submit a proposal and my firm is classified as a small business but during the evaluation period my size status changes?
Communicate the change to your assigned contract specialist. They will evaluate your offer to see if you meet the size standards for your selected NAICS code(s). If your firm is no longer identified as a small business, changes to company information in the System for Award Management (SAM) will be required. Additionally, if the estimated value of your offer meets the requisite threshold (currently $650,000), your firm will be required to submit a small business subcontracting plan.
18. Can we charge extra shipping and handling for shipping to Alaska, Hawaii AND Puerto Rico?
No. You are given the opportunity to indicate whether you are willing to include delivery to Alaska, Hawaii, and/or Puerto Rico at the offered prices under provision F–FSS–2002–G Delivery Prices (Document 04 — Vendor Response Document). If you elect not to include delivery to these locations, shipment to locations in Alaska, Hawaii, and/or Puerto Rico will be made FOB inland carrier to a point of exportation within the 48 contiguous states. In such cases, the Government will be responsible for the transportation from the point of exportation to the destination in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico.

We Know When We've Been Bested
Last week I discussed how we've tried to communicate the essence of what Accordance is with the slogan: The power you need. The interface you expect. The choices you want.
While I think that describes Accordance pretty well, today I ran across a description of Accordance which tops anything we've ever come up with. In terms of its brevity, its dramatic force, and its tendency to stick in your memory, this little bit of Accordance evangelism deserves some kind of marketing award.
In response to blogger Adrian Warnock's admission that he is switching to the Mac, several Accordance users (including myself) wrote in to encourage him to give Accordance a try. Every one of us did an admirable job of touting Accordance's advantages, but it was Rick Mansfield who said it best:
a Mac without Accordance... well, that's like a human without a soul
Genius, Rick. Sheer genius. :-)
