Review by Emptyeye
"Some of the best and worst gaming memories...."
The NES, or Nintendo Entertainment System, was released by Nintendo in 1985. It was an 8-bit system, and I believe it was the first of its kind, the Master System coming out a year later, and the Atari 7800 after that. As we all know, this system had along lifespan of roughly 10 years, rivaled only by the Game Boy and its various incarnations.
Graphics: 8/10- When the NES first game out, Super Mario Bros. royally blew everyone's mind. Look at all the colors on the screen! And the way Mario moves! Whoa! He's more than just a stick figure! Seriously, all this was incredible stuff back in 1985. Early in its life the graphics, while mostly flat and 2-dimensional, were revolutionary. As time passed, however, the graphics took a back seat to the Genesis and Super NES, because it just couldn't compete, try as it did with games like Battletoads. Toward the end of its lifespan, however, the little system churned out some pretty incredible stuff that rivaled these systems, as can be shown in Kirby's Adventure.
Sound: 9/10- While it took the programmers awhile to fully realize the sound capabilities of the NES--roughly about 1989 and Ironsword--the themes they came up with were, in general, great. There are some classic themes from this era such as Level 1 from Castlevania, most of Ninja Gaiden's music, and (Of course) the Super Mario theme. Even when it wasn't groundbreaking, the themes were just plain catchy (Pro Wrestling). The amazing thing is, for some reason the sound actually came in cleaner that on the Genesis! The sound effects, well, weren't all that great in general, but some games had some originality, such as (Once again) Kirby's adventure.
The games (Good): What we all remember from the NES is its great games. Because the rules of video gaming weren't firmly established yet, the developers had a lot more room to play around with new ideas. The result was a whole lot of classic games that live on today in various forms--Mario, Castlevania, Zelda, Mega Man, and so on. Yet because of their 2-d, beat em up nature, these games somehow seemed more fun than even the games of today. They manage to never get old. And that, my friends, is what makes a system great. There were lots of other cool concepts that didn't live on, but should have, like Marble Madness, which is about a marble trying to roll its way through some mazes. Classic!
The games (Bad): Ah, but the NES wasn't perfect. What a lot of people seem to forget is that, while the good games on the system were indeed classic (Most of them anyway), when an idea didn't work and a game crashed, it crashed HARD. If you ask a person what the worst video game ever is, most will name a game off of the NES. Most of the first-generation sports games, made by Nintendo, were simply not very good. Other clunkers were Deadly Towers (Which I've actually beaten), Total Recall, and almost any movie to game translation save for Willow and Batman. But the mother of them all was the FCI release Heroes of the Lance. I'm not even going to talk about this game, just take a look at the NINE (As of this writing) scores of 1 for the game on this site and see for yourself.
Overall: 8/10- But overall, the NES was a great little system that single-handedly revived and rescued the video game market from the Atari crash of 1983. Though it was only 8-bits, in comparison to today's 128, I continue to get more fun out of this system than I do out of my Dreamcast. If you look on the Internet you can find sites dedicated to this system. Ah...the memories.

Nine new flu deaths reported in NC last week
Posted January 29, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — Nine people died of flu-related illness last week in North Carolina, according to data released Thursday by the state Department of Health and Human Services.
Since the flu season began in October, 137 people have died from flu-related illness in North Carolina, 30 more than reported during the 2013-14 flu season.
While the total number of deaths is higher than last year, the number of deaths being reported each week has been on the decline. Experts say that indicates the season likely has peaked, although they caution residents to remain vigilant against the spread of the illness.
Specific information on gender and location for the nine deaths reported in the week ending Jan. 24 were not provided.
The number of deaths reported each week is updated as more positive influenza tests are returned.
The flu season runs from October to May and normally peaks in January and February.

Helen Flanagan: I'll never go topless, that's for my boyfriend Scott Sinclair
Helen Flanagan has defended her choice to wear low-cut dresses yet again as she vows she will never go topless because she wants to save that for her boyfriend Scott Sinclair.
Helen has carved a name for herself as being a frequent wearer of low-cut, tight-fitting, short dresses, but she has promised that although she likes flaunting her assets, that's all fans will ever get to see as she's saving the real deal for her footballer boyfriend.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: 'I'm a bit of a daddy's girl plus I've got a boyfriend and I want to save that kind of thing for him.
It's not that I would never do it, and those sorts of pictures can look absolutely beautiful, but I'm an actress and I want to be taken seriously.'
Her admission comes as she stepped out last night in a relatively demure dress, in comparison to her usual choices, and sporting her new hair extensions.
Helen, 21, looked like the cat that got the cream as she held on to her Swansea City boyfriend's hand as they made their way to Manchester's trendy Australasia restaurant.
Wearing a sophisticated black dress that fell just above her knee, her large assets were kept well hidden as she made the focus of her outfit all about her new long locks which she wore curly and to one side.
But although this seems to be a style revamp, the soap babe insisted she won't be changing her voluptuous look for anybody.
Last month she was heavily criticised for stepping out for a night out in a revealing Jean Paul Gaultier corset dress.
After being inundated with comments about the frock, which many claimed was far too low and an attention-grabbing move, she hit back and told her followers on Twitter that she'd have to resort to wearing polo necks from now on.
But in the interview, she cleared up any confusion as she admitted the tweet was simply a joke and she had no desire to start covering up.
She said: 'That tweet about wearing polo necks was a joke. I am really happy right now and I will wear exactly what I want. I just do my own thing. I'm not looking to please anyone except myself.
'My boyfriend Scott was with me when I bought that dress and thought I looked beautiful. That's the most important thing to me. Did the comments knock my confidence? No way!'
Helen has been dating Sinclair, 23, for two years and recently left her home in Manchester to live with him in Wales.

Why are people whose hair is generally some shade of orange or auburn called redheads? Their hair is orange, not red!
And "ginger" which some people use a derogatory term, is actually kind of a tan color on the outside of the root, and more yellow than orange in its ground form, so why use the term ginger either? And ginger ale is downright yellow!
Anything from hair the color of a new penny to an almost-but-not-quite-brown the shade of rusting iron is called a redhead. Why?
Any why do people who learn I like winter, and snow, automatically assume I am a skier?
Do you have questions you wonder about?
For the record, although I do ponder these things, the definition of imponderables is "a factor that is difficult or impossible to estimate or assess."

Gannett to buy TV station owner Belo for $1.5B
NEW YORK — Gannett Co., the publisher of USA Today, is buying TV station owner Belo Corp. for about $1.5 billion. If approved, the all-cash deal will make Gannett the fourth-largest broadcast group in the U.S.
Gannett already owns television stations as well as dozens of newspapers. But the deal transforms Gannett from "a newspaper company with broadcast and digital assets to being a broadcast company with strong newspaper and digital assets," said Ken Doctor, a media analyst with Outsell Inc.

We have a new song from Arcade Fire for you today, from the upcoming Hunger Games soundtrack. Listen to the soft-throb ominous beauty of "Abraham's Daughter," which is said to be set for the film's ending credits below:
Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler had this to say about the track: "I tried to put myself in the headspace of how excited I'd be if this film was coming out when I was 15. I still remember hearing Radiohead's "Exit Music (for a Film)" in [Baz Luhrmann's] Romeo + Juliet when I was that age."
"Our whole approach was to get into the world and try to create something that serves the story and the film," he continued. "There's something in the story of Abraham and Isaac that I think resonates with the themes in the film, like sacrificing children. So we made a weird, alternate-universe version of that, where it's as if Abraham had a daughter — kind of a metaphor for Katniss."

Michael Stadther is at it again. In 2004 he released a book titled A Treasure's Trove that had clues hidden within the pages and anyone who could decipher them would find 12 18-karat in gold tokens hidden throughout the continental United States (which could be redeemed for one-of-a kind jewels of the characters in the book for a total value of over $1 million). It took until February 2006 for the original 12 gold tokens and a 13th and 14th token to all be found by readers.
This time around the book is called Secrets Of The Alchemist Dar with the pages containing clues which when solved could get the reader one of one hundred jeweled rings with a total value of more than $2 million. The book gives anyone anywhere in the world a chance to solve the clues and obtain one of the rings. The only hint that Michael Stadther has given thus far is that "there is a secret embedded in the title" of the book
The One Hundred Fairy Rings Of Eternal Life To Be Found In The Book Include :

GOOGLE'S internet glasses could be hitting the market this year with an eye toward freeing people from unsocial habits engendered by "emasculating" smartphones.
Sergey Brin spoke of the inspiration behind Google Glass eyewear during a brief appearance on Wednesday at a TED Conference.
The Google co-founder playfully demonstrated his point on stage by ignoring a theatre audience to stare down at his smartphone, saying he was intent on a message from a Nigerian prince need of $US10 million ($A9.82 million).
"I like to pay attention because that is how we originally funded the company," he quipped about a well-known scam.
"Seriously, in addition to potentially socially isolating yourself when you are out and about using your phone, I feel it is kind of emasculating."
Glass frees the eyes as well as the hands when it comes to connecting to the internet on the go, according to Brin.
Wearers can speak commands to the eyewear, and built-in camera technology allows pictures or video to be captured from first-person perspectives.
Brin says he has realised the smartphone is like a "nervous tic".
"The cell phone is a nervous habit," he said. "If I smoked, I'd probably smoke instead."
He observed that smartphones sometimes become props people use to appear busy, saying that glasses strip away excuses not to be sociable or to not be honest about simply wanting to take a break.
"It really opened by eyes to how much of my life I spent secluded away in email, social posts or what not," Brin said.
"There is nothing bad about that, but with this thing I don't have to be checking them all the time."
Brin said Glass eyewear will be available later this year at prices lower than the $US1500 ($A1472) charged to software developers and early adopters during a restricted test phase.
Wednesday was the last day for "explorers" with creative vision and $US1500 to spare to vie to be part of a select group of people who get to experiment with Glass.

The Boston Bruins announced on Monday that the team has placed two-time All-Star Marc Savard on the injured reserve, which means he will miss the remainder of the season and playoffs. The center will miss significant time for the second straight season due ongoing problems stemming from concussions.
The news comes comes just over two weeks after Savard's latest concussion and during a press conference the 33-year-old said he was still experiencing post-concussion symptoms, which included headaches and dots.
The concussion came on Jan 22 against the Avalanche in Colorado when he hit his head against the glass following a hit by former team mate Matt Hunwick. It was his second concussion in just 10 months. He started off the year on the injured-reserve, missing the first 23 games of the season due to concussion symptoms which can be traced back to last March when he was blindsided by Matt Cooke. That hit caused him to miss the remainder of last season as well. Cooke's hit led the NHL to outlaw blindside hits to the head. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said the blindside hit rule has helped, but the league should look at other ways to help keep the players safe.
"It was a tough decision but it was the best decision to say I was done for the season and for the playoffs," said Savard at the news conference.
When healthy, Savard is one of the Bruins' top offensive threats. After his last full season in 2008-09 he finished with 25 goals and 63 assists, which was among the team leaders. With the lingering concussion issues it leaves many to wonder what Savard's future is with the game but he said that he is not ready to start thinking about the possibility of an early retirement.
"I'm not going to make any decision about my future until I get more medical stuff done. I need to be patient," he added.
In his 12-plus seasons in the NHL with the New York Rangers, Calgary Flames, Atlanta Thrashers and Bruins, Savard has tallied 207 goals and 706 points in 807 games.


text: Note: Please do not read this as an anti Anels Adams or anti-zone system posting. I have just picked up a new book (to me); Ansell Adams Landscapes of the American West by Lauris Morgan-Griffiths and it appears that in his prints some areas of bright white e.g. patches of snow in a landscape, are featureless bright white (paper white) patches. It takes nothing away from the book and I do not believe that it is a clipping failure of the reproduction process. However, I have thought that the zone system says that the bright white areas of a print (excluding specular highlight) should not be paper white but have a small amount of tone in them (zone X111?) and not appear as featureless white patches. Looking at the book with my understanding of the zone system makes me think that this is odd. The pictures still look great, but makes me question my understanding of the zone system and Ansel Adams application of it - was it disregarded when he felt like it? Is my understanding of the zone wrong? Probably not explained this very well and may not have an answer without comparing the book to an actual print and that ain't going to happen.... however, any thoughts from people on his printing of bright whites or the general bright whites in the zone system? *Intrigued*

Fishguard, United Kingdom
From Geo Hashing
(Redirected from 52,-5)
|Dublin, Ireland

|Carlow, Ireland
|Atlantic Ocean
|Milford Haven
Today's location: peeron geohashing.info google osm bing/os kml crox
The Fishguard graticule is at latitude 52, longitude -5. It covers parts of both the United Kingdom and Ireland -- a tiny part of the Welsh coast to the west of Fishguard around Strumble Head, and an even tinier part of the Irish coast near Wicklow. Over 99% of the graticule is water. The Fishguard-Rosslare ferry passes through this graticule, making for a challenging Geohash.
Water geohashes are highly likely here. A Reverse regional achievement is insanely unlikely. No hash location has fallen on land in the Irish section of the graticule in recorded history.

The Elk River wrestlers lost by criteria after rallying to tie Maple Grove 33-33 on Thursday in Maple Grove.
Pins by Jake Brown in his varsity debut at 182 and by Mitch Beaudry at 195, and a forfeit at 285, helped pull the Elks even on the scoreboard.
However, the Crimson got the victory because they won eight matches and the Elks won six.
The Elks also got pins by Kyle Ziemer at 126 and Ryan Osberg at 145 and on overtime 7-5 win by Evan Caldon at 132.
The Elks dropped to 1-5 in conference and 1-8 overall. Maple Grove is 2-1 and 3-1.
Next for Elk River is the Cambridge-Isanti tournament on Saturday.

Do you write computer programs for fun? Many of the best teachers I have known "do what they teach" for fun and not just because it is part of their job. I knew a math teacher who factored Prime numbers in his head and really got a kick out of the fact that his license plate was a six digit Prime. Just about every art teacher I have ever known spent a lot of their free time creating art. You probably know an English teacher who is working on the next great American novel or a collection of poetry in their spare time. And what about the History teacher who spends their summer vacation visiting historical sites? I know a science teacher who moonlights as a professional meteorologist. Their love of their discipline makes what they teach more than just a job. Do you think this enthusiasm is noticed by their students? Of course it is. It's part of what makes them great teachers.
My friend Tom Indelicato is a great high school computer science teacher who happens to really like to write code. And he's good at it too. He writes about a recent project at his blog. There was a need for some software at his school. Not a particularly complicated piece of software but it had to be easy to use, reliable and meet the needs of the business of the school. The school had tried a trial version of some software that almost met their needs. Tom could have just suggested that the school buy a full version of the software and things would have been ok. Not great but OK. And Tom would not have had to do any work on the project at all. But Tom likes to write code so he wrote a program that really meets the schools needs. A case study he can use with his students? Possibly. But clearly the process he went though as he developed this program in his spare time can easily serve as an example to his students. But more than that Tom's students can see the love he has for the field.
BTW Tom also likes to write game programs in his spare time. He's my kind of teacher.
Do your students see your love for the subject in you? How?

California Genealogy and History Archives
Sacramento County
district attorney of Sacramento county is a native son of Sacramento and
a member of a pioneer family whose identification with the west began
during the memorable mining era. The first representative of the name in
the west and indeed in the new world was Herman Wachhorst, a native of
Hanover, Germany, born in May of 1827. For three successive generations
the heads of the family had been expert dealers in precious stones and
renowned watch- makers. When he crossed the ocean in 1843 he already had
acquired a thorough knowledge of the manufacture of watches and the
value of jewels. In the new world his first task was the acquisition of
fluency in the use of the English language. For five years he remained
in the employ of Hyde & Goodrich, one of the most famous jewelry
firms in the United States. While with them he became an expert in
judging precious stones and devoted much attention to that branch of the
discovery of gold in California attracted the young jeweler from
congenial surroundings which he had expected to make permanent. With the
quickness of decision that was one of his characteristics he resigned
from his business connections, proceeded to New York City and took
passage on the ship, Mary Waterman, under Capt. James Higgins. The
voyage proved to be one of the roughest known in history and the one
hundred and seventy-five passengers endured every hardship and danger
ere the final destination was reached. The heaviest storms fell upon
them as they were rounding the Horn. The ship cast anchor at Rio Janeiro
on the eastern coast and Valparaiso on the western coast, these stops
being necessary for repairs and supplies. After the final stop at San
Francisco the young gold-seeker proceeded to Sacramento and thence to
the mines at Mormon Island. Not finding the occupation of mining
congenial or profitable he returned to Sacramento in December of 1850
and rented, at $500 per month payable in advance, a shop about eight
feet wide on J street between Front and Second. During the next three
years he made money with startling rapidity and when he sold out in 1854
he had accumulated a capital sufficient to give him an income of $800
per month. A life of cultured leisure in San Francisco thus became
possible to him and enabled him to devote considerable attention to the
study of vocal and instrumental music, also rendered possible extensive
continental travels for a period of two years.
his return to California in 1859 Mr. Wachhorst purchased the business of
Heller & Andrews in San Francisco and after the disastrous floods of
1861 he opened a jewelry establishment at Sacramento, where he gained an
enviable reputation as an expert in diamonds and precious stones. His
stock of jewelry was said to be one of the finest in the entire country
and until his retirement from business he held a high position among the
leading men of his chosen occupation. When he passed away in the year
1899 it was recognized that the state had lost one of its most
interesting pioneers and Sacramento one of its most famous business men
of early days. The honors of Masonry were bestowed upon him in his
interment and over the body were sung some of the songs which he himself
had often rendered to delighted audiences with rare sweetness and beauty
of technique.
the family of Herman and Frances Wachhorst there was a son, Eugene,
whose birth occurred at the family homestead in Sacramento May 11, 1866,
and whose education was begun in the schools of the capital city. Later
he attended the California Military Academy for two years and afterward
he was a student at Berkeley, where he was graduated in 1884. Upon
starting out for himself he went to Solano county, where for two years
he assisted with the work on a large cattle and grain ranch. Upon
returning to Sacramento he became porter in the wholesale grocery of the
Adams, McNeil Company. Two years later he was promoted to be buyer and
shipping clerk. When he retired from the employ of the grocery house he
became connected with his father in the jewelry business, but at the
expiration of two years he began to work as a deputy in Judge Catlin's
court. Two years afterward he was chosen chief deputy under William B.
Hamilton. In 1899 he was appointed assistant district attorney and while
serving as such he gave his leisure hours to the study of law under
Judge Catlin. When he had completed his course of reading he was
admitted to the bar by the supreme court at San Francisco and October
27, 1907, he was admitted to the United States supreme court at
Washington. Meanwhile in 1906 he had been chosen district attorney of
Sacramento county and in 1910 he was again elected to the office, which
position he has filled with characteristic intelligence and energy.
The Republican party has had in Mr. Wachhorst a faithful and sagacious exponent of its principles. Among the organizations to which he belongs may be mentioned the Sutter Club, Eagles, Elks and the Masonic order in Washington Lodge No. 20, F. & A. M. ; Sacramento Chapter No. 3, R. A. M. ; Sacramento Council No. 1, and Sacramento Commandery No. 2, K. T. Upon removing to Solano county he there formed the acquaintance of Miss Mollie B. Johnson and they were united in marriage May 2, 1887. They are the parents of three children. The eldest son, Donald Eugene, is a well-educated young man, having had excellent advantages in the University of California. The younger sons. Jack B. and Thomas H., are students in the Sacramento public schools.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday sought to debunk criticism that America has acted hypocritically in condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine, dismissing any comparison to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, MSNBC reported.
The president also argued that the comparison between Crimea and Kosovo makes no sense.
"Russian leaders have further claimed Kosovo as a precedent, an example, they say of the West interfering in the affairs of a smaller country … But NATO only intervened after the people of Kosovo were systematically brutalized and killed for years."
"And Kosovo only left Serbia after a referendum was organized not outside the boundaries of international law, but in careful cooperation with the United Nations with Kosovo's neighbors," Obama added. "None of that even came close to happening in Crimea," MSNBC reported.
Office for Kosovo and Metohija recalled in tonight's statement that a referendum on the subject of independence was not conducted on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, as well as that Albanians, Serbs or any other ethnic group that lives in Kosovo and Metohija did not participate in it, TANJUG reported.
The office points out in its statement that the unilateral independence of Kosovo and Metohija was proclaimed on February 17 2008 at the meeting of the so-called Kosovo Assembly, "which was not preceeded by any referendum of the citizens of Kosovo and Metohija, whether on a part or on the whole territory of Kosovo and Metohija".
"The Office for Kosovo and Metohija, without intent to engage in the debate of great powers of the nature of the international law, wants to eliminate the confusion caused by certain statements about Kosovo and Metohija, in the context of the Crimea. The statement that could have been heard at the EU-US summit in Brussels 'Kosovo has left Serbia after a referendum was organized which was not outside international law, but with careful collaboration with the United Nations and Kosovo's neighbbours', in our opinion, is unintended mistake or a consequence of error in the translation," says the statement.
It also says that the UN, OEBS, "or any other international organization did not participate in the declaration of independence, niether with advice or confirmation".
Earlier, Serbian historian Nebojsa Malic told RT that it could be the case that Obama's speechwriter just "mistook the non-existent referendum in Kosovo with the referendum in Montenegro that took place in 2006."
"If that is the referendum they were referring to, first of all, it is just baffling that they can't tell apart Kosovo and Montenegro. Secondly, that is not exactly a paragon of democracy in international laws either," Malic said.
"I am really not sure what sort of point they were trying to make, but you can't just make up your own facts to boost your own argument. That is ridiculous," he concluded.
There was one independence referendum in Kosovo in 1991. Its results were recognized by just one UN member, Albania.

Rangers' Josh Hamilton out four weeks with grade 2 hamstring strain
Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton will miss at least four weeks with a strained hamstring, according to a report from Fox Sports Southwest.
A separate report from Fox Sports noted that Hamilton sustained the injury while running the bases during Sunday's walk-off hit.
ESPN Radio Dallas reported Hamilton would go to the disabled list with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.
Hamilton sat out Tuesday and Wednesday's games against the Chicago White Sox. He had been activated off of the disabled list as recently as May 25 after spending the first two months of the season rehabbing a shoulder injury.
The injury is not only a setback for the Rangers, but marks a reversal of fortunes for Hamilton, who was just starting to turn things around after a tumultuous offseason.
In just seven games with the Rangers Hamilton had hit two home runs and had five RBI, including a two-RBI walk-off double during Sunday's come-from-behind win over the Boston Red Sox.
Hamilton reported himself to major league baseball before the start of the 2015 season after he suffered a relapse with cocaine. Hamilton has a history of drug abuse.
The Los Angeles Angels traded Hamilton earlier this season to the Rangers, the team he played for from 2008 until 2012.

Will O.B. parking situation stop Target?
South Beach bar's agreement with Antique Center muddles situation
Julie Stalmer 5:30 p.m., Sept. 22
The United States Marshals Service has come under scrutiny by the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Inspector General over, among other things, unauthorized conversion of semi-automatic weapons purchases to those capable of fully automatic fire.
In a report released last month, entitled "Audit of the United States Marshals Service's Procurement Activities," the inspector general's office also calls out an improperly documented purchase of a sport utility vehicle for $71,840 that auditors said has been used for "mission related work" of the service's investigative operations division in San Diego.
According to the document, Marshals Service policy
...strictly prohibits the use of fully-automatic firearms by the districts and divisions. An exception to this policy is provided for the Special Operations Group, but only during specially authorized missions. Firearms capable of burst-fire may be authorized at the district level by the U.S. Marshal or Chief Deputy and for Headquarters components by the Associate Director or Assistant Director.
"Burst fire," the audit goes on to explain,
...is an intermediate firing mode between semi-automatic and fully automatic. Semi-automatic mode allows the firearm to shoot a single round each time the trigger is pulled until all the rounds loaded in the firearm have been fired. Fully automatic mode allows the firearm to continue to shoot all the rounds loaded in the firearm with a single pull of the trigger until the trigger is released. Burst-fire mode allows the firearm to shoot a pre-determined number of rounds (usually two or three) with each pull of the trigger.
But the document says that an unnamed official managed to end-run standard procedure to obtain fully automatic weapons. One purchase order, the audit says,
> had been modified to convert a request for two semi-automatic firearms with the capability for burst-fire into a request for firearms capable of fully-automatic fire. There was no documentation of subsequent approval for the modified purchase order.
In this instance, the original requestor was the Chief Inspector for a regional office of the Witness Security Division. The original request for two firearms capable of 2-round burst-fire was approved by the division's Assistant Director.
After the requisition was submitted to the Training Division, the Chief Inspector sent an e-mail to the Training Division Contracting Officer requesting a change from the firearms requested to firearms capable of fully-automatic fire.
The government's weapons merchant, the audit goes on to relate, later "identified the discrepancy and requested confirmation that the order was for the correct firearm type, noting the USMS policy against fully-automatic firearms."
But the sale went through anyway, according to the report.
The Contracting Officer noted in an e-mail to the vendor that he confirmed the desired firearm type with the requestor and verified the order.
Notes the audit:
The purchase of firearms, especially firearms that are specifically prohibited, without obtaining the required approvals, is a serious internal control failure.
After discussing this issue with Training Division officials, in June 2012 the officials told us that the two unauthorized firearms had been located and secured. In October 2012, Training Division officials stated that actions had been taken to convert the firearms to an appropriate trigger group that did not allow fully automatic fire. The Training Division officials also stated that they had implemented a new internal process where both the armorer and Deputy Assistant Director will review all firearms purchase requests.
The officials also told us that the purchasing officer will be instructed to not make any changes to a purchase after it has gone through the approval process and that any changes to an approved purchase must go through an internal review prior to being made. We believe that senior USMS management officials should ensure that these actions have been completed.
In the case of the San Diego sport utility vehicle, the auditors said they
...determined that in 2010 the USMS ...purchased four sport utility vehicles for $70,150 each, another such vehicle for $69,000, and another such vehicle for $71,840. The General Services Administration (GSA) is responsible for purchasing vehicles for federal agencies, unless the federal agency is given statutory authority or a waiver to make vehicle purchases.
The Assistant Chief told us he could not locate any evidence showing that a GSA waiver was obtained for the vehicle purchased for $71,840. However, the Assistant Chief confirmed that the vehicle without a waiver was assigned to the Investigative Operations Division office in San Diego and was being used for mission-related work.
The USMS's Chief of Procurement confirmed that no documentation of a GSA waiver for this vehicle could be found and that the contracting official who made the purchase is no longer employed by the USMS.
Concluded auditors:
Unless the required waivers are obtained to directly purchase vehicles, there is increased risk that the vehicles purchased may not be justified or may not be obtained at the best price.

From the Editor: The Ladder of Success
Kathy Bridge-Liles tells of her climb to chief administrative officer of Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida
"I always had ideas on ways to fix problems."
—Kathy Bridge-Liles, onetime nurse at, and now chief administrative officer of, Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida
Is it really this simple? Is this how a little girl from a working-class family in Philadelphia—who said, at 7, she wanted to be a pediatric nurse—turned out many years later to be running the crown jewel of child care in Southwest Florida? Just on ideas? Let's look at her success story because it's, well, just plain inspiring. It seems that every time someone gave Kathy a job, she ended up in charge of things. And she's not the least bit conniving or bossy.
"I grew up in a row house in Philadelphia, with five brothers in a family of little means," Kathy says. "But it was there I first learned the value of hard work by watching my mom and dad. Mom was up at 4:30 every morning, getting the family ready for the day and then going off to her job as inventory control clerk for Spiegel Catalog. My dad sold band uniforms, and, at night and on weekends, my mother would pitch in and make the gold cords that went over the shoulders and under the arms."
After high school, Kathy was admitted to nursing school, but couldn't afford to go. In the years ahead, she took medical and nurse assistant jobs where she could, got married, had a son and then, in a breakthrough, got hired as an assistant at the Germantown Medical Center.
Great Leap Forward
The physician/owner, Dr. Sam Rubinstein, became her mentor. "You're good at organizing and planning," he said, and he named her the administrator of the center in charge of payroll, hiring, training the staff and more. "I learned everything in my 12 years there," Kathy recalls, "and always went above and beyond, even coming in on weekends to mop and clean the place." When Rubinstein retired and closed the center, Kathy, with the help of student loans, finally got her Associate of Science nursing degree at Hahneman University, where she was vice-president of her class.
She took a job as a pediatric nurse at Albert Einstein in Philadelphia. "I never dreamed of more than that," she says. But again, she kept getting asked to take the lead on projects. "I always wanted to make things better," Kathy says.
In the name of escaping the cold weather, the family moved to Southwest Florida in 1990. She found work as a nurse in the obstetric unit at Cape Coral Hospital and, in 1992, began her run, and ascension, from nurse to leader, at the Children's Hospital at Health Park. Listen to the programs she developed and served: the Early Intervention Program, the Pediatric Extended Care Center, the Pediatric Outpatient Cancer Program, Pediatric Patient Care Services, Women's and Children's Services, and, finally, her current CAO post. In her spare time—ha—she got bachelor and master of science degrees from Barry University.
Memorable Moments
The highlights looking back? She has always wanted to help the sickest kids, but remembers one night when she felt her medical assistance couldn't do enough: "A little boy was dying and his parents took turns holding him in his last hours. I sat with the dad, held the mom's hand as she cried on my shoulder. I was so touched when the parents later told me how great it was for them to have my support at that time." On the more upbeat side, Kathy recalls how thrilled she was with the startup of the new Pediatric Intensive Care Center in Health Park. "I knew this was the beginning of establishing a real health care system for kids, not just seniors." And, of course, there was her personal moment of truth. It was while she was with the Pediatric Extended Care Unit. She didn't want to give up bedside nursing, but knew she couldn't do that and her administrative work and do justice to both. "A friend told me," she says, "that I could remove more barriers, create more programs and have more impact as an administrator."
And so she has. She's excited that the Children's Hospital's current expansion plans got input from children and their families in the design phase—and that the new facilities will include a stand-alone pharmacy and a separate pediatric emergency department. And you can count on Kathy's ideas, work ethic and big heart to keep making things better. "Ninety-eight percent of kids," she says, "get better and are running down the halls blowing you kisses. It's beautiful. It's rewarding. We make them well."

Bob Best sounded a bit disappointed.
He only won one event at the 2014 Federation Internationale de Natation (FINA) World Masters Swimming Championships held in Montreal earlier this month.
Best, a record-setting swimmer for Redlands High School back in 1949, wanted to win each of the five events he was entered in. He settled for two second-place finishes and two fourth-place finishes.
Still, it was an impressive effort for the 82-year-old.
"I was pretty excited about what I could have done up there," Best said. "I thought I had a chance of coming home with at least three first places. On the longer distances, I just didn't perform up to my standards."
Best added: "I guess I will feel better about it in time."
Best, representing the San Diego Swim Masters club team, won the 50 breaststroke with a 46.45. He placed second in the 100 breaststroke (1:44.81) and the 50 freestyle (35.46). He was fourth in the 400 individual medley (8:44.95) and the 200 breaststroke (4:14.17).
The 50 breaststroke is his best event, and he was pleased with that effort. He was seeded first in the event.
"That is the best I've done this year," Best said. "Start to finish, I was ready for it. And I needed it. If I had messed that one up, I'd really be down in the dumps."
It was his fourth trip to the world championships. Previously he had made trips to Australia, Quebec and Northern California.
His first world championships was in Australia.
"That was awesome," Best said. "I didn't know what to expect. My heart was pounding. I remember being the only guy from the United States in my event and I felt all that kind of pressure on my shoulders."
While at Redlands High School, Best set a CIF record in the 100 breaststroke in 1949. And Best was on the 1950 CIF champion swim team from Redlands High School. He teamed with Larry Heim and Tom Linane to set a national record in the three-stroke medley relay. The trio finished with a 3:04.6, taking the mark from East Technical School of Cleveland.
Best went on to receive a scholarship to Iowa State University, where he swam on the Cyclones team. Notably in 1955, his graduation year, Iowa States competed against the likes of Michigan, Georgia, Oklahoma and Ohio.
His FINA accomplishments include world record awards for short-course relays in medley and freestyle. As a U.S. Masters swimmer, Bob achieved the honor of All-American. In 2013, he broke the records for the 50-meter breaststroke and the 200-meter medley.
Best has no intentions of slowing down. He plans to compete in an event in Mission Viejo later this month.
"I feel pretty good," Best said. "I started swimming 60 years ago. I never dreamed I would do this. I never thought I'd do any of this."
Best said a healthy lifestyle has meant everything to him.
"That is what it is all about, staying healthy," Best said. "Being healthy and staying active. You need to keep moving, walk and just stay active. It keeps you going."
