Existing tools could make acquisition more efficient
The federal workforce will have to do more with less in the next several years, notwithstanding the Obama administration's emphasis on insourcing and hiring more acquisition professionals. Insourcing will shift the focus of current resources to moving work in-house, and it will take several years for the new acquisition workforce to become productive.
Procedures and tools already available to acquisition officers could speed the acquisition process and make it more cost efficient. I'm referring to multiagency contract vehicles, price-comparison Web portals and purchasing cards.
A recent Federal Computer Week article ["A handbook on acquisition reforms," Sept. 21] mentioned that roughly 80 percent of the work involved in contracting is avoided when using multiagency vehicles. However, such contracts need to be effectively managed to avoid duplicative efforts by competing agencies.
In a perfect world, there would be a single contract vehicle from which everyone in the government would order needed supplies and services. However, we are living in a far from perfect world, and getting disparate people and organizations to agree on a single solution is daunting. Agencies will resist giving up their contracts as they justify resources and, in some cases, revenue.
But rather than agencies fighting over who gets what, why not let the buyers decide? Why can't the Office of Management and Budget require the development of a purchasing portal that would search all agency contracts and present options for making the best value decision? The technology is not new. In fact, most of us already use price comparison sites such as BizRate, PriceGrabber, Orbitz and mySimon in our personal lives.
So we are halfway there. After agencies have the capability to select from the best sources, they should achieve greater efficiencies and lower prices. But then again, why don't we rethink how the ordering on those multiagency contracts is accomplished?
Back in the mid-1990s, the government eliminated roughly half of the contract actions going into purchasing offices by issuing purchase cards for acquisitions worth less than $2,500. Administrative savings were $54 to $92 for each card purchase. The same data showed that another 48 percent of the government's contract actions were valued less than $25,000, and many of those were orders issued against existing contracts.
Why not increase spending authority for those purchases to some point between $2,500 and $25,000? Federal regulations encourage the use of the purchase cards to place orders and pay for purchases against contracts. The use of a price-comparison portal by numerous, decentralized cardholders to place orders would allow the overworked acquisition workforce to turn its attention to more complex and critical functions that are not being accomplished, thus achieving key missions at multiple agencies by improving effectiveness and efficiency.
The administration's plans come as OMB is asking agencies to submit alternative budget targets that would freeze spending at the fiscal 2010 request level and reduce spending by 5 percent in fiscal 2011. Therefore, the only way the government can continue to provide quality services is to become more productive. And the only way for agencies to become more productive is by redefining what they do and how they do it and by giving agencies the tools they will need to get there.
It's time to use available commercial technologies and business practices and bring federal acquisition into the 21st century.

Alan Balutis and Don Upson debate the wisdom of a cabinet-level IT shop -- and a thorough reorganization of about a dozen other agencies.
The Trump administration's plan to use predictive software to rate threats posed by immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers will result in discriminatory decisions, say a group of privacy advocates and computer scientists.
IT modernization is not only key for federal agencies, but to GSA's Federal Acquisition Service.
The $700 billion defense bill now poised for final passage includes provisions to modernize agency IT through revolving funds and allow for for easy, off-the-shelf Pentagon procurement.
The Vacancies Act sets time limits on the period for acting officials to occupy politically appointed roles -- and some of these officials are about to run out of time.
Census made several key slipups in its decision to award a $283 million mobile device contract for the 2020 population count, according to the Government Accountability Office.
Generally speaking, the idea of increasing the threshold for P-Card purchasing has merit, considering that the vast majority of procurement transactions occur below the simplified acquisition threshold. Empower non-warranted personnel outside of agency contracting offices to conduct such transactions, thus freeing warranted contracting officials to conduct acquisitions that are of more strategic value to their agencies and to the Nation. Perhaps we would see less contracting horror stories in GAO Reports or on the front page of the Washington Post if contracting officials could focus on "real" business value activities instead of on processing thousands of small dollar transactions. Naturally, however, there would have to be an increase of training, audit and oversight to correspond to the increase of P-Card spending activity by non-contracting personnel. Interesting concept. Maybe it's time to look at it seriously.
Sir, your recommendation to increase the amount that can be purchased via IMPACT card or locally approved sounds very sensible and practical. Unfortunately there will be enough abuse or mismanagement of this that after a certain amount of time more controls and oversight will be put back in place. There is enough evidence of this not just with Government credit card use but in the private sector as well to see that onoce againa slower, more deliberate process will be established.

Biometric Access Control
Biometrics are the measurements of features of the body that are unique to each person. These can include fingerprint patterns, the patterns of veins in the hand or eye, distances between features on the face, the way you walk and many more. Because there are slight differences between each person, these features provide a means of confirming the identity of a person.
How can biometrics improve your time and attendance system?
We can incorporate a range of biometric devices into our clocks. These can be used as the sole means of registering attendance, or combined with a card to verify identity. Fingertip readers are our most popular product for their combination of convenience and affordability, but we can integrate with the technology of your choice to create a solution that meets your needs.
Key Benefits
- Security
Pins and cards can easily be lost or stolen, potentially allowing someone to use an employee's privileges without their knowledge. Biometrics provide a more secure alternative.
- Cut costs
Employing biometric clocking can eliminate the need for cards entirely, thus saving you money
- Health and safety
Employing biometrics improves health and safety as employees cannot get round work time rules by missed punches.
- Improved accuracy
Eliminates the risk of "buddy punching", where a person clocks on behalf of an employee, allowing them to claim for shifts they have not attended
Key Features
- Integrated fingerprint clocking terminals
- Fingerprint access units

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 59-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for drugging and raping a homeless woman at a Portland motel in 2013.
Portland Police Bureau says Kevin Levi Scott was sentenced Friday to life without parole after a conviction in September of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy.
Police say Scott lured into his room a 51-year-old woman who was suffering from an alcohol addiction and looking for a place to sleep.
Scott has a criminal history that includes convictions in 1978 in Multnomah County in 2 separate sexual abuse cases.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports he was previously convicted of first-degree sex abuse for tying up a 19-year-old female acquaintance, beating her and sexually assaulting her.
He also has a first-degree rape conviction for the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl.

It may free up estimated Rs 30,000-35,000 cr for PSU banks and Rs 5,000 cr for private sector lenders.
The Reserve Bank of India earlier relaxed the rules governing the core capital requirements of banks.
RBI further thinking to free up estimated Rs 30,000-35,000 crore for Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) banks and Rs 5,000 crore for private sector lenders.
Bank officers' representative met with Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan on Friday. Rajan told representatives that he would further look up to freeing up bank capital. With the ease, banks may further leeway in regulatory capital for public and private sector.
The representatives said that more than Rs 20,000 crore is locked in the balance sheets of PSU banks. Since the provisioning rule for non-performing assets (NPAs) are stricter than international requirements and this amount can be unlocked.
Rajan had told the officers' representatives that he would ask government to infuse capital into public sector banks at the earliest. The RBI governor also said that there will be no forbearance granted to banks, allowing them to continue to classify loans in default as standard loans.
He also pointed out that the RBI has already freed up regulatory capital by allowing lenders to revalue their real estate assets and recognize a portion of the gain for the purpose of capital adequacy.

This new site has been growing exponentially since its launch in March 2010 with nearly 11.1 million unique visitors according to Site Analytics."

Perhaps you guys can help me with my decision by stating any positive and/or negative experiences you've had with any of the phones I've listed (ie: how durable is it? what's call quality like? battery life? etc etc) Here are the choices of what I've narrowed it down to so far: Acer Liquid E HTC Magic + Samsung Galaxy Spica Also, you can recommend a phone that is not listed above. The qualities I'm looking for in a phone are: durability (I am a clumsy person), decent battery life, decent call quality (even though I txt more than I call, I don't want a phone where the other person or I can't hear shit) and good txt messaging.

Hello Everyone! So, yesterday I was all freaking out because today was my turn for Fun Guy Friday and a got nothing! So you know what I did about it? Can you guess?
And that was it. Brain freeze. Seriously. All the google-verse at my disposal and I'm in total analysis-paralysis. I get this way when I'm trying to research hotels to stay at when we travel too. So, what did I do, you might ask? I went where I've never been before. The Vine. My teens LOVE this stuff. Seconds of snippets. I'm torn. I want more. Longer. Deeper… EeHem. Sorry, my mind wandered there. I was NOT thinking of this guy from a FaceBook party last night. Ok, I was. I'm a total FireFly fan.
Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah, Vines. Here's some of my teens favorites.
This guy is amazing… Jamie Costa on Vines.
I may be warming to these things… Thomas Sanders.
They do all kinds of things here. VMA Recap (makes me wish I didn't miss it) and a boat load of other stuff. You can check it out yourself here. Vines.
I hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear what you think of Vines in general. I'm off for some deserved self-flogging.
Happy Friday!

I'm using FF9, and that's as far as I plan to go. I have the executables for 3.6, I'm tempted to reinstall it and forget all this 9, 10, 12 garbage.
I'd suggest you not. If you're using FF-9 you are most of the way there as the newest version (FF-12 released today) will assume all your add-ons work so if they are working in FF-9 they will work in FF-12.
My problem is that the upgrade from 3.6 to a more recent version of FF will take out my entire screen arrangement and break links for any add-ons not supported by a later version (and I have a few). Also on the downside, today, April 24, is the last day FF will support v.3.6. Any security breaches after today will not be addressed so that version (and earlier) can be hacked.
The next version, FF-13, due out in June will drop versions of Windows earlier than XP with service pack 2. So its a mixed bag, but I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade in the next few days.

From the Publisher
Everyone loves to talk to pregnant women about The Miracle of Life. Natural? Beautiful? Let's be honest: it's just plain bizarre! Your previously normal body is morphing into gigantic proportions while you grow a whole new wiggly little person inside of it.
If you want the real scoop on pregnancy, birth, and the first 3 months of motherhood – the good, the bad, and the funny – from one (formerly) new mom to another, then this is the e-book for you: Mama Insider: Laughing (and Sometimes Crying) All the Way Through Pregnancy, Birth, and the First 3 Months.
As a journalist for 15+ years and a mom blogger for 5+ years, Abigail Green has been chronicling the joy and the craziness of motherhood, and has heard from tons of other new moms about what's on their sleep-deprived minds. She's here to reassure you that you are not alone. You are not crazy. And you are going to do just fine as a mom. The proof that other people have been through it and survived is in this e-book.
You'll find out:
Why you shouldn't be concerned by the size of your unborn baby's nose
What happens when you're 10 days overdue and your doula goes on vacation
New moms' Frequently Asked Questions on such topics as cankles and clueless husbands
The differences between Nervous Moms and Mellow Moms
What "me time" looks like once you're a mom
How real moms lose the baby weight (hint: it's not salad and Pilates)
Each of the 23 chapters in this 50-page e-book is short and easy to read while you're feeding the baby, waiting for the pediatrician, or reheating your cup of coffee for the third time because you're running on 3 hours sleep and are constantly being interrupted to pump, change diapers, start a load of laundry, or search under the couch for missing pacifiers.
What readers are saying:
"Abby is the funniest writer I have EVER read, and I am a voracious reader."
- Jen S., pregnant mom of 2
"What I like best about Abby's writing is that she doesn't sacrifice honesty for humor...she manages to achieve both, a rare feat."
- Malia J., mom of 2
"I love your blog, Abby! What a talented writer and authentic soul you are."
- Angela H., mom of 2

SAUCER BLAST: My first question is-- how hot is it in Arizona today?
REBECCA ROKA: 101 Fahrenheit. Yesterday it was 175 in my car.
SB: Yeesh, it's supposed to get hot here in Maryland too this weekend. How did a landlocked person like yourself get the idea to create a tentacled scarf?
SB: Why is your Cyclops not for children under 4? Does he come to life at night and eat kids?
RR: I can absolutely guarantee that won't happen because Creeplings don't have mouths.
But say you somehow stepped on his head. Quite aside from any desire for vengeance, if his eye-stem or safety washer is damaged the eye could come off. And you know how little kids love to put bright, shiny things in their mouths. When I was little I accidentally swallowed my favorite rhinestone. I was very upset.
SB: Who is your model?
RR: The model in my cowl photos? That's my friend, Cherry. The thing about Cherry is, she's always happy.
If you mean role model, that would be Bender the robot. Only with less crime.
SB: Is your trivet actually useful for hypnotic induction?
RR: Yes, if you're not careful.
SB: Why did you stop writing your blog in 2009?
RR: Every time I'd sit down to work on it I'd get these weird phone calls. No one on the other end, just strange whirring sounds. Now I just do things on my Facebook page and it's less interruption. Actually, I'm lying. The phone calls had nothing to do with the blog. They happened when my husband, Erich, was reading my copy of The Mothman Prophecies. I'd read it years before and nothing strange ever happened. He reads it and suddenly we start getting calls that are just whirring and clicking on the line. And Erich starts taunting them. "Hey, Men In Black, can't you get a new act? You guys are boring me." I'm like, "You idiot, don't taunt them!" But it did stop after that.
ABOVE: I wish Rebecca made mothman dolls! Cute little bringers of death.SB: Would you ever do a Creeplings comic strip or TV series?
RR: That would be wonderful! I love comics and cartoons.
SB: Please explain your interest in anthropomorphic rabbits.
RR: That's like asking, "Why do you like grilled cheese sandwiches?" I just do. Doesn't everybody?
SB: What are your feelings about the Pooka?
RR: I only hope they don't hatch from rhinestones.
SB: What's next for you, either with the Creeplings or "solo?"
RR: I'm going to get back to making the dolls. I got distracted for a while because of the high tentacle demand, but I really feel that more Creeplings dolls need to exist in the world. Especially Medusa. She's the one I most identify with.
SB: Why do you identify with Medusa? Do you turn people to stone with your stare? Or is your hair made of snakes?
RR: My hair's usually pretty messy. That's really all. I do like snakes but I think the rest of it would be inconvenient.
SB: How do people follow your career and buy your stuff?
RR: My Etsy store is at
I'm also doing theme weeks on my Facebook and Twitter pages - Ocean Madness, Monsters, Glamour, Spiders, whatever seems fun - and featuring Etsy other sellers and interesting links.

Unanswered: Database Maxed out; can't Execute Delete Statement
I'm new here and to SQL. I adopted a database that was being automatically logged to by a SCADA program. The database maxed-out the hard drive; it is now 27GB. I need to get rid of the early half of the data.
However, when I tried to execute a delete statement, I received a message saying that the transaction log is full and won't be able to execute my command.
Can anyone help me with this? Like I said it's about a years worth of data, of which I can get rid of the first 6 months. Does anyone have a good list of procedures to follow for this?

The result: Chocolate City, a film that cost $20,000 and netted about $100,000, including the proceeds from hawking T-shirts, hats, the soundtrack and posters.
"That was really a lot of money for college students," Packer remembers, "and I said, 'You know what? This is my business right here.'"
The pair raised more cash and stretched it for three or four years while making their second movie, Trois, which they distributed themselves. It grossed more than $1 million and the two finally got Hollywood's attention.
This is Packer's most memorable advice, from movie producer Warrington Hudlin, after a young and inexperienced Packer had blathered on about the filmmaker he wanted to be:
"You know, brother, a lot of people are talking about what they're going to do and what they want to do. Go out and do it. Do something. Be one of those that's doing and not one of those that's talking."

Eugene Robinson
Washington Post Columnist
Tuesday, June 9, 2009 1:00 PM
Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson was online Tuesday, June 9 at 1 p.m. ET to discuss his recent columns and the latest news.
Eugene Robinson: Hi, everyone. Welcome to our weekly conversation. Today's column, for reference, was about Obama's persona and history as instruments of foreign policy. I had been skeptical, but less so after the Cairo speech. Meanwhile, there's lots of other news, as usual -- the toughness of Sonia Sotomayor, who plays hurt; the travails of the auto industry; the travails of the Republican Party; the re-launch of the stimulus, which I thought was supposed to have begun stimulating already... And, of course, the insanity that is North Korea. Let's jump in.
Burke, Va.: Mr. Robinson, You stated in your article that " There are those who believe that admitting mistakes is a sign of weakness. I think it's a sign of confidence and strength, and I believe that's how it was received by Obama's intended audience." You ended by saying "It turns out that being Obama matters more than I thought."
I applaud you for admitting a perception you had about Obama. It shows that you are a person of confidence and strength.
washingtonpost.com: The Importance of Being Obama
Eugene Robinson: No, just a person capable of not getting it quite right the first time.
Rockville, Md.: Do you think after four months in office that President Obama is starting to feel a little empathy towards George W. Bush? Actually governing vs. running for president and sounding knowledgeable are such different positions to be in.
Eugene Robinson: If he's feeling a whole lot of empathy, he has a funny way of showing it -- he blasts the whole way Bush and Cheney ran the country pretty regularly. It's true, though, that occupants of the Oval Office have experiences in common that no one else can share, or even imagine. So there's inevitably an appreciation of the pressures that predecessors faced, even if there's no agreement with the policies they chose.
Kansas City Mo: Hi Eugene!
In what ways do you think 'being Obama' helps in negotiating the Israel/Palestine problem?
Eugene Robinson: Obviously it doesn't untie that impossible knot. But it does seem capable of lowering the temperature, at least among the Palestinians -- at the moment, it seems to be making things hotter in Israeli politics. It's unrealistic to expect a peace deal anytime soon, but if some kind of process can be initiated, that alone would be huge at this point.
Atlanta: Can you tell me why it's so important that Obama get the health care package passed his first year in office (indeed, some have said by October of this year). We did, after all, elect him to a four-year term.
Eugene Robinson: It makes sense to tackle big, controversial projects early in a president's term, when his approval ratings are still high and his political mandate is still fresh in everybody's mind.
Herndon, Va.: In all seriousness, doesn't the apparent takeover of the private sector by the federal government worry you at all? Or are you OK with unelected bureaucrats running the health care, energy, auto and banking industries (so far)?
Eugene Robinson: I'm quite happy that our government is finally trying to do something about the shameful fact that tens of millions of Americans lack health insurance. On energy, it's obvious that there's a big role for government to play, because that has always been considered a matter of national security; but I have some issues with the Obama administration's approach, and wrote a column last week saying that carbon capture and storage -- a centerpiece of the whole "clean coal" concept -- is unproven at scale and looks unwise. On cars and banks, what choice did the administration have? I'm not up for soup lines.
Mount Horeb, Wisc.: Gene:
A number of prominent folks in the GOP have been critical of President Obama's conduct of foreign policy, calling his recent overseas trip an "apology tour". Angelina Jolie's father even went so far at last night's GOP fundraising dinner to claim that he is "embarrassed by Obama."
Do you think Obama's recent actions and statements merit the charges leveled by the conservatives? Is Obama apologizing too much?
Do you think folks will line up burn copies of the movie "Midnight Cowboy," as they did with CDs when Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks expressed her embarrassment at George W. Bush being from her home state of Texas?
Eugene Robinson: I don't think anybody's going to be burning "Midnight Cowboy," which is a great movie. I didn't hear any apologies on the tour. I wonder how anyone expects Obama to campaign on promises to change Bush-Cheney policies, get elected on that basis, change the policies, and then go out and defend them.
Brooklyn, NY: There's a Gitmo detainee in New York City today for a federal hearing - the first to be brought to American soil.
A terrorist in my own backyard!?! The Republicans were right!!! Help me. Is it time to panic? Will our law enforcement be able to contain this super criminal, or will he break free and run amok in my city like the republicans predicted?
I'm scared and don't know what to do!
Eugene Robinson: Run in circles! Immediately! Maybe while unleashing a blood-curdling scream!
Hyattsville: Obama has come under fire for not overturning some Bush national security policies. I've noticed two patterns:
An unwillingness to give up any the prerogatives of the executive branch. I suspect any president would feel this way.
An avoidance of anything that would anger the career people at CIA, Defense, or State. Clinton and George W. Bush had some real problems with these folks. I suspect that Rahm Emanuel, Leon Panetta, and other veterans of bureaucratic warfare would advise Obama, "Don't tick these people off."
Eugene Robinson: I think your analysis is basically right, but those reasons shouldn't hold water with the electorate if the policies should, in fact, be changed. Like "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Polls show support of around 70 percent for changing the policy and letting gays serve openly. Sounds like a mandate to me.
Los Angeles, Ca.: What happened to our "fierce advocate" for gay rights, Mr. Robinson? Will we have to get Adam Lambert elected POTUS for ENDA to pass?
Hey -- that's not such a bad idea.
Eugene Robinson: I agree that the fierce advocate has been much less than fierce on the biggest gay issues. But no Adam Lambert for president. He's wildly talented, but there's too much screeching.
New York City, NY: In you answer to Atlanta you speak of Obama's political mandate, still fresh in people's mind.
What was his political mandate, in you opinion?
Do you recognize that he was falling significantly (3-4 points) behind McCain in the polls when the financial crisis erupted, with the Lehman bankruptcy in mid September, and the Republican's campaign collapsed.
Has Obama a mandate other than bringing the economy back on an even keel?
Eugene Robinson: Come on, he won a very comfortable victory. Elections have consequences. George W. Bush claimed mandates with much slimmer margins. Democrats solidified their control of the House and Senate. People voted for a new direction. Just because you voted the other way doesn't mean you can pretend that the vote didn't happen.
Upper Marlboro, Md.: Health Care Reform is the issue of the hour. The Blue Dogs in Congress are reluctant to go with a public option. What is the point of HC Reform if their is no competition for the private sector to bring down their cost? If I can understand this, why can't the Blue Dogs?
Eugene Robinson: Beats me.
Chicago: Does the gay community really have much leverage over Obama? It's not like they're going to vote Republican (for Romney? Huckabee? Palin?) Obama can always raise as much money as he wants, even if not a single gay person gave him a dime. It's not like he's going to lose California or New York.
Eugene Robinson: True, but I think it would be unwise for Obama to treat gays, and also the left wing of the Democratic Party, the same way that Republican presidents always treat Christian conservatives -- lots of talk, little action.
Washington, D.C.: Mr. Robinson,
You seem to agree with many, if not all, of President Obama's policies. Which policies do you not agree with?
Eugene Robinson: I believe that "clean coal" is little more than rhetoric at this point. I thought he got played by Hugo Chavez at their meeting. I thought the bank bailouts, which probably were necessary, should have been structured to avoid rewarding the irresponsible people who created this mess. I believe his administration should be challenging more of the fundamental assumptions -- huge leverage, gossamer derivatives, etc. I've written all of this in my column, by the way.
Birmingham, Alabama: Ls there any other country, with the exception of Spain, investigating the Bush administration for war crimes? Is the DOJ ever going to do any about it? The President took an oath to uphold the Constitution. I firmly believe allowing Bush and Cheney to get away with the crimes they committed is not in the best interest of our country. Mr. Robinson, I think your winning of the Pulitzer Award us most wonderful. I am a faithful viewer of MSNBC.
Eugene Robinson: Thanks so much. In the previous answer, I should have added that I disagree forcefully -- and have in print -- with his decision to oppose even a truth commission to investigate the Bush-Cheney abuses, much less an investigation that could lead to charges. I've written that too.
Vienna: Is there any potential 2012 Republican that makes Democrats at least a little nervous? Romney certainly exudes competence, but not warmth. Huckabee exudes warmth, but not competence. Both have their own "God" issues: Romney's Mormonism is still a problem, Huckabee wears his evangelical religion a little too much on his sleeve for most voters. So maybe Tim Pawlenty?
Eugene Robinson: Too soon to tell. Who most worries the Democrats will depend on what happens between now and then. If, when we get closer to the election, national security is the defining issue, then someone with those credentials might be the most formidable opponent. If it's the economy, somebody like Romney might be seen to have more credibility.
Upper Marlboro, Md.: Deficit Spending has been a big issue in light of the ARRA and TARP expenditures. Last week Bernake came out saying that we need to address the deficits we are creating. How can the government rescue the economy and generate revenue without raising taxes?
Eugene Robinson: In the long run, or even in the medium run, I don't think it can be done. We demand what we want from our government, and ultimately we're going to have to pay for it.
Eugene Robinson: My time is up for today, folks. I'll see you again -- well, it will be a slightly longer separation than usual. I'm going to take the summer off from these weekly chats, temporarily throttle back some of my other duties and bring everything back up to full speed after Labor Day. I won't be lazing or frolicking or anything like that, I'll be finishing a book that my publisher has been awaiting patiently. I'm already looking forward to our next chance to get together and solve the problems of the world.

Cigarette lighter in the form of a five franc coin, with "Empereur Napoleno III' on one side and "Empire Francais 1870" on the other side. This item was made in Japan I would assume for the tourist market. I bought it in a small flea market just outside of St Tropez and it looks to be in good condition (the flint sparks) but I have never tried to light it. It measures 37mm in diameter.

CHICAGO {AP}Traci Fries never dreamed that by helping to keep her baby safe from crib death she was contributing to a separate and growing medical problem.
From the nape of his neck to the top of his skull, the back of 10-month-old A.J. Fries' head is perfectly flat.
The culprit, doctors told the Chicago mother, was putting A.J. to sleep on his back the increasingly common practice credited with a steep decline in crib deaths nationwide.
Fries, 26, says she noticed the problem not long after A.J.'s birth last September and asked her pediatrician about it at every checkup.
"The doctor kept saying, 'Oh, as he grows older it should fill back out.' It never did."
She has since been advised to see a specialist to see if her son needs to wear a special helmet to mold his head back into shape.
Skull flattening can occur because newborns' skulls are soft and malleable, which allows the growing brain to expand. The medical name is positional plagiocephaly, a condition some pediatricians had never heard of before the nationwide "Back to Sleep" campaign that started in 1994 to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.
Despite concerns over the rise in plagiocephaly, SIDS is still the leading killer of infants in their first year. Some doctors worry that parents' concern about flat heads may lead to a return to stomach sleeping something experts stress should still be avoided.
"If I have to trade a decrease in SIDS with getting asymmetry in the back of the head, that's a great trade," said Dr. Frank Vicari, a pediatric plastic surgeon at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
While nationwide figures are not available, many doctors report dramatic increases in flat-headed babies since the "Back to Sleep" campaign started.

The death of the Ultimate Warrior at the age of 54 has sparked an outpouring of shock and grief.
As well as reactions from his colleagues and his pro-wrestling descendants, Digital Spy presents a personal tribute from our own WWE correspondent, Samuel 'The Beast' Mansell.
Ultimate Warrior 1959-2014: His finest moments in video
Today is one incredibly sad day for every wrestling fan on earth.
If you were a kid in the 1980s or just loved the sport, then the words Ultimate Warrior will have made a huge impact on your life.
The first time I pushed SummerSlam '88 into my VCR and saw this blitzkrieg of intensity win the Intercontinental Title in less than a minute, I became hooked forever.
He was a mountain of frenzied fury with huge muscles and neon warpaint that would use up most of a 'normal' Superstar's energy before the opening bell with his kinetic rope-shaking entrance into the arena.
This character would go on to become one of this most iconic and instantly recognisable stars ever in the industry.
The Warrior was probably most famous for his bizarre interviews and, more importantly, for a victory over Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI to win the world title.
In the boom times when wrestling was at the height of its popularity, The Ultimate Warrior was at the height of his powers.
To this very day, he continues to inspire the next generation of Superstars whilst still captivating the millions of fans who have watched him through his storied career.
I even had the honour of seeing one his last great matches in person at SummerSlam '92 at Wembley when he beat Randy Savage.
This year, at the historic WrestleMania XXX weekend, he was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame and gave a deeply poignant speech. No snarling or chest-beating, just a genuine human being passing a torch and telling his story.
48 hours later, he was gone.
Rest in peace Jim Hellwig, aka The Ultimate Warrior.
My thought and prayers are with his family.
With love,

The Giant Rabbit is a Novelization-exclusive monster. It appears only during the 'Elevator Scene' chunk of the book.
Physical Description & AttributesEdit
As its name implies, the Giant Rabbit is a normal rabbit, but of an abnormal size with, as mentioned briefly in the book, "oversized teeth". It was most certainly released during the System Purge.
The Giant Rabbit is most likely a reference to the 1972 science fiction film Night of the Lepus.

Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin
Code Name Verity meets Inglourious Basterds in this fast-paced novel from the author of The Walled City.
The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule the world. To commemorate their Great Victory over Britain and Russia, Hitler and Emperor Hirohito host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The victor is awarded an audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball.
Yael, who escaped from a death camp, has one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female victor, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele twin's brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's every move. But as Yael begins to get closer to the other competitors, can she bring herself to be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and complete her mission?

How is new life rising from old stumps in your current season?
What I've learned about stumps in the past 12 years of living in the woods is this:
New life will always sprout up if roots are intact.
The roots of our trees run deep, fifty feet or more. Those roots enable the trees to leaf out season after season, bringing newness of life year after year. Unless the roots are permanently severed, the power of life will keep pushing forward.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 29, 2013) - Aurcana Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AUN)(AUNFF) ("Aurcana" or the "Company") today is pleased to report its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
The Q2 2013 Earnings Webcast and Conference Call has been scheduled for 10:00 am PST (1:00 pm EST) on Friday, August 30, 2013. See the bottom of this press release for details.
Mr. Lenic Rodriguez, Aurcana's President & CEO, said: "We are pleased to report that Aurcana increased its second quarter silver equivalent production from La Negra by 38% over the first quarter of 2013, and the mill at La Negra exceeded its new capacity of 3,000 tonnes per day ("tpd"). With technical improvements at Shafter now underway and increased efficiencies at La Negra, the company remains strategically positioned for continued growth."
A video message from Mr. Lenic Rodriguez, talking about Aurcana's Q2 2013 results, can be watched at the following link:
Highlights of La Negra's Second Quarter ended June 30, 2013:
- a 38% increase in silver equivalent ounces produced to 818,060 ounces during Q2 2013 over the first quarter of 2013 and a 19% increase over the same period in 2012;
- a 73% increase in ore mined for a total of 249,036 mined tonnes during Q2 2013 compared to 143,718 tonnes in Q2 2012;
- a 33% increase in ore milled for a total of 235,388 milled tonnes during Q2 2013 compared to 176,591 tonnes in Q2 2012;
- a 41% increase in the mill processing rate over the previous quarter, to 3,057 tpd in Q2 2013 compared to 2,169 tpd in Q1 2013;
- the total cash cost per silver ounce net of by-products for Q2 2013 was $7.79, up $0.85 from $6.94 in Q2 2012;
- the cash cost per milled tonne for Q2 2013 was down 6% to $30.84, from $32.97 in Q2 2012;
- total revenues for Q2 2013 were $11.3 million, down $2.4 million from $13.7 million in Q2 2012 mainly due to lower silver and base metals prices, lower silver grades and higher inventories at quarter's end; and
- net income in Q2 2013 was $0.3 million, down from $1.4 million in Q2 2012.
The summary of the selected financial information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, together referred to as the "Financial Statements" filed on www.sedar.com and available on www.aurcana.com . All figures are in US dollars unless otherwise noted.
Update on Red Kite Financing
The Company announces that it is working with Red Kite Mine Finance on the settlement of definitive loan documentation for a three year loan facility of $50 million and an Off-take Agreement for the silver produced at the Shafter mine. The transaction is now expected to be completed in September 2013.
Second Quarter Production and Operational Highlights
La Negra Mine
- Mine development continued in 2013 to support the mine expansion with production in part realized from development headings, albeit at a lower silver grade. La Negra now has developed the equivalent of two years of additional production. Planning is now focused on increasing silver grades by developing and mining higher grade mineralized zones.
- Planning includes the purchase of a raise boring machine to construct several ore passes connecting the upper reaches of the mine that have higher silver grades with the main ore haulage on the 2000 metre level. The raise boring machine is expected to be commissioned in Q1, 2014.
- A mineral reserve estimate by Mine Development Associates ("MDA") has been initiated with completion expected in early 2014. The mineral reserve estimate and an updated resource estimate will include updated assumptions regarding metal prices with a focus on higher margin production. The report will also include new drilling completed at La Negra since the last technical report was completed in 2012.
- The company ended Q2 2013 with higher inventories of copper-silver concentrates reducing revenues. The mine and plant expansions combined with higher production from the copper rich lower levels of La Negra, resulted in the production of more copper concentrate than anticipated, exceeding the capacity of the existing filter press. A new larger capacity filter press has been ordered with delivery anticipated by the end of Q3 2013.
- In order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies at La Negra, the Company reduced surface exploration, postponed investments in non-critical areas and focused additional efforts in mining areas having higher silver grades.
Shafter Mine
- The Shafter mine is making additional capital improvements in order to ensure that the process plant will achieve its target capacity of 1,500 tpd.
- The estimated total capital cost required to achieve target capacity of 1,500 tpd at Shafter is approximately $18.5 million, of which a total of approximately $5.5 million has been expended by the end of Q2 2013. It is anticipated that the balance of $13 million will be funded by way of the Red Kite financing, currently being finalized. Management expects completion of all construction and upgrade work during 2014, subject to the successful completion of the financing.
- Silver output in 2013 at the Shafter mine was constrained by bottlenecks in the processing plant pending the delivery, installation and commissioning of key pieces of equipment. All proceeds generated from silver sales during Q2 2013 were credited to capital costs.
- On August 15, 2013 a second new tailings filter press was delivered to Shafter. This replaced the second of three used low-capacity tailings filter presses that were contributing to operational delays and reduced recovery rates. Together with the new filter press installed in May 2013, Shafter should reach a capacity of 1,200 tpd. A third filter press will be ordered with expected delivery by year's end. This press will bring the Shafter circuit up to the design capacity of 1,500 tpd.
- New larger precipitate filter presses and furnaces, together with a larger drying oven and retorts have been ordered and are expected to be commissioned in October 2013. This equipment is expected to result in a significant improvement in the silver recovery and the quality of doré bars produced on site.
- A higher degree of automation and better process controls are to be installed in the process facility. This activity began in May 2013 and will continue until projected completion in 2014.
- SGS Metcon conducted metallurgical testing investigating the benefits of a flotation circuit at the Shafter mill. The results indicated that a flotation circuit will help achieve recoveries of up to 80% of the high grade silver contained in sulphide minerals at Shafter that otherwise would not be recoverable in the leach circuit. This cost is included in Shafter's total capital requirements.
- The first group of locally trained miners has graduated and began working at Shafter in late July 2013 alongside experienced miners. This mining course will be offered several times a year and is being coordinated with the superintendent of the local Presidio school system.
- Aurcana has engaged Mine Development Associates ("MDA") to generate an updated mineral reserve estimate for the Shafter Mine. Completion is expected during Q4, 2013.
The Company expects that the Shafter plant will run at a rate of approximately 600 tpd during Q3 2013 and achieve its design target of 1,500 tpd during 2014, subject to the successful completion of the Red Kite financing.

Mr. Nils von Fersen, P.Geo., a qualified person (as defined in National Instrument 43-101) and the Company's Vice-President, Exploration and Dr. Sadek El-Alfy, a qualified person and the Company's Vice-President, Operations have reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this release.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the closing of the debt financing with Red Kite, forecast silver production, silver grades, recoveries, potential mineralization, exploration results, future plans and objectives of the Company and the business and anticipated financial performance of the Company. These statements are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to mining and processing of mined ore, achieving projected recovery rates, anticipated production rates and mine life, operating efficiencies, costs and expenditures, changes in mineral resources and conversion of mineral resources to proven and probable reserves, and other information that is based on forecasts of future operational or financial results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.
Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classified as a category of mineral resource. A mineral resource which is classified as "inferred" or indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any or part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into proven and probable reserves.
Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or does not expect", "is expected", anticipates" or "does not anticipate" "plans", "estimates" or "intends" or stating that certain actions, events or results " may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to materially differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
Actual results may differ materially from results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could differ materially from the Company's expectations include, among others, the Company and Red Kite's ability to finalize loan documentation relating to the financing, risks related to international operations, unsuccessful exploration results, the ability of suppliers to provide equipment, the availability of skilled labour, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as changes in metal prices, changes in the availability of funding for mineral exploration and development, unanticipated changes in key management personnel and general economic conditions. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, oral or written, made by itself or on its behalf, except as required pursuant to applicable securities laws. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

First hurdle safely negotiated for 'nervous' Woods
Tiger Woods played his first round in the competitive arena here in almost five months yesterday and received what his playing partner, Fred Couples, called "an awesome reception".
An estimated 50,000 fans flocked to Augusta and gave Woods the welcome he and his advisers had been hoping for. The heavy security presence which flanked the morning pairing indicated the concerns which accompanied the world No 1's reappearance.
In the event, the Augusta patrons were suitably respectful. "They were excited to see him on the first and gave him a standing ovation on the 18th," said Couples. "And so they should. He knows he made a blunder and he's back here to make up for it. He's a good kid."
The 14-time Major winner looked nervous when jumping on to a buggy outside the clubhouse and the irony was not lost on many that the driver happened to be an attractive blonde. And at least one former champion was struck by the muted atmosphere as Woods made his way to the course.
"He was on the buggy going to the first tee and nobody applauded, he walked to the first tee and nobody applauded," said the former Masters champion. "Only when he hit the ball did the galleries applaud. This is something Woods will have to handle."
As it proved, all Woods had to handle was his own self-doubts as his golf game faltered.
Woods and Couples teed off at 8.05. It was strategically timed to appease. A dawn start would not have gone down too well. The Augusta gates had swung open (well, nudged ajar) at 8.0 and the galleries swarmed in and swarmed around the pairing. For the next four hours, thousands followed Couples and Woods.
To say the mood seemed controlled was an understatement. It was like they were watching the Pope practise for the Vatican Invitational.
It was a surreal situation. Woods chipped in twice in a row from off the back of the third green and normally, outside the ropes, chaotic high-fiving would ensue. Instead there was a ripple of applause. Woods tipped his hat, as he did so many times. As far as crowd interaction goes, this might not have been up there with Phil Mickelson's autographathon. But it was animated compared to the Woods we previously knew.
Finally, around Amen Corner the whoops and the hollers rang out. It was all very accommodating.
Surely this was the armchair ride he had wished for when deciding to make the first Major of the season the first tournament of the season.
Shame the golf wasn't so well-ordered. To be blunt, Woods joined the hookers. He drove the ball erratically and, for all his fans, rather worryingly.
Eventually, Jim Furyk joined up to make it a three-ball and with his favoured Ryder Cup partner in tow, the experience only became easier for Woods. The walk to the final green was particularly warm.
"He's playing very well," said Couples. "We've played a lot of practice rounds at Augusta. Basically, we're buddies and he is doing great. He's the best player in the world and his intimidation factor is always there.
However, not everyone was as positive as Couples and the galleries. Nick Faldo, for one, is unsure how the scandal will have affected him.
"We used to say that with the intimidation factor Tiger was already two-up," he said. "But what he has been through must have changed him.
"It will be intriguing to see how he deals with all the hurdles."
But as he ate his lunch here yesterday, Woods could console himself in the knowledge that one hurdle was already safely negotiated. (© Independent News Service)
