About RFA:
Through objective, timely reporting and news analysis, Radio Free Asia (RFA) takes an unflinching look at topics and developments affecting the lives of ordinary citizens living in China, Vietnam, North Korea, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar – six Asian countries that limit free press and restrict access to media. RFA’s Mandarin, Tibetan, Cantonese, Uyghur, Vietnamese, Korean, Lao, Khmer (Cambodian), and Burmese services uncover the truth behind issues often deemed too sensitive to be covered accurately or with deserved attention in state-controlled media and local news outlets that self-censor. Our journalists often utilize vast networks of cultivated, reliable sources and receive tips from citizen journalists and eyewitnesses on the ground to break exclusive news in some of the world’s toughest media environments.
Through news broadcasts, online engagement, and call-in shows, RFA also serves as an open forum, allowing listeners to discuss freely their views and perspectives. RFA reaches its audiences through webcast video, television, satellite, social media networks, and digital multimedia content on its websites, in addition to trusted short- and medium-wave radio broadcasts. RFA began broadcasting in September 1996, when its Mandarin Service aired its first report. A private, non-profit organization, RFA is funded by an annual grant through the U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG).
SALEM, Ore. - Part of the video testimony from the Columbia River Crossing legislative oversight hearings held, January 14th, 2014 at the Oregon Capitol.
Chris Stickler, former CRC staffer and consultant and current project director for ODOT answers questions from Senator Fred Girod of Stayton about cost overruns. Representative Tobias Read makes some comments and then Senator Cliff Bentz of Ontario asks some additional questions.
This exchange is very critical because it exposes one of the biggest problems of the Oregon-only CRC plan. Under the current plan any cost overruns have to be paid for by the state of Oregon either by raising tolls or taking the money from the general fund.
Cost overruns are a frequent problem for projects of this size.

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) called for closer collaboration with civil Engineers to ensure timely delivery of road projects. The Authority said that it had been difficult to roll out projects on time due to factors such as project cost overruns, in adequate and un-implementable designs among others. Kenha said that this had inhibited the timely delivery of Vision 2030 projects. The Consultative meeting saw the representation of the Engineers Board of Kenya, Consultants and the Engineering association.

COST OVERRUNS on PANAMA CANAL EXTENSION Cause TENSION and PROBLEMS
The project to expand the Panama Canal, one of the world's most important shipping routes, was in doubt on Wednesday after talks between the canal administrator and a Spanish-led building consortium fell apart and work ground to a halt.
Group United for the Canal, a consortium led by Spanish builder Sacyr, said in a statement that the government's canal authority had broken off talks on who will pay some $1.6 billion needed to complete the ambitious project.
The Panama Canal Authority's head, Jorge Quijano, said the canal has held general talks with other companies about work still pending on the expansion, but was open to more talks with the consortium. He said the canal authority has demanded that the consortium resume work on the expansion.
Quijano told a news conference the consortium had been "inflexible" and that the project would be completed in 2015 "with or without" it. He said talks had been complicated because another consortium member, Italy's Salini Impregilo, had taken over the lead from Sacyr.
He said the canal was evaluating its next steps, but a deal was still possible.
"The distance between the parties remained too great, mainly because the (consortium) has acted against the interests of Panama and its canal," Quijano said. "It doesn't mean a deal is no longer possible, although the window is closing minute by minute."
"What we are not going to permit is that the project be halted for an excessive period," he said.
Any delay in the project would be a setback for companies worldwide eager to move larger ships through the Panama Canal, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) producers that want to ship from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Asian markets.
"We support the decision the Panama Canal has taken and we close ranks. What the (consortium) has done is irresponsible," Panama's president, Ricardo Martinelli, told local television. He said last month his country has the resources to complete the expansion even if talks end.
The failure of the talks was the latest setback to a project mired in disputes since the consortium, which also includes a Belgian and Panamanian firm, won a bid to double the capacity of the near 50-mile transoceanic cargo route.

The project was originally expected to cost about $5.25 billion, but the overruns could increase that to near $7 billion.
Asked if the relationship with the canal had broken down definitively, Sacyr CEO Manuel Manrique told Spanish radio: "No."
Shares of Sacyr had risen as much as 6.8 percent on Tuesday in anticipation of a deal, but plunged more than 8 percent on the news on Wednesday before recovering some ground. Salini Impregilo's shares were down more than 1.0 percent.
In its statement, GUPC - the Spanish acronym by which the consortium is known - said the suspension of discussions meant the canal expansion, and up to 10,000 local jobs, were at risk.
If the partnership between Panama and the builders is abandoned, it would likely mean further delays while Panama seeks financing and a new construction group.
If no agreement is reached soon, the canal authority could tell insurer Zurich North America that it wants to end the contract.

As a private citizen, Alan Grayson has a long record fighting defense contractor corruption in Iraq. Now, as a Congressman, he's writing laws to end the culture of waste and greed in defense contracting.
This amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill Currently, if a government contractor incurs a cost overrun, the government bears 100% of the cost overrun. This encourages low-balling in proposals, when a contractor deliberately underestimates the cost of a project so as to secure the business, and then sticks the taxpayer with the bill when the project goes over-budget.
This amendment commissions a GAO study to look in-depth at cost overruns. The Comptroller General would list, for fiscal years 2006-2009, contracts with a cost overrun, the cost estimate of the covered contract, and the cost overrun for the covered contract. The GAO would also list findings and recommendations. Once Congress better understands the contours of this specific problem, Congress can put together legislative proposals that will reduce cost overruns.
Grayson's amendment text is here: http://www.rules.house.gov/111/AmndmentsSubmitted/hr2647/grayson104_hr2647_111.pdf

There are renewed tensions over building work to expand the Panama Canal which has been the subject of a dispute over who should pay up for cost overruns.
Earlier it was reported that construction had stopped, with claims that the operator had broken off negotiations aimed at settling the dispute.
But the European consortium carrying out the work then said talks were ongoing and work was continuing.
On Wednesday the Canal Authority went public to accuse the consortium of being inflexible.

A cost overrun, also known as a cost increase or budget overrun, is an unexpected cost incurred in excess of a budgeted amount due to an under-estimation of the actual cost during budgeting. Cost overrun should be distinguished from cost escalation, which is used to express an anticipated growth in a budgeted cost due to factors such as inflation.
Cost overrun is common in infrastructure, building, and technology projects. A comprehensive study of cost overrun published in the Journal of the American Planning Association in 2002 found that 9 out of ten construction projects had underestimated costs. Overruns of 50 to one hundred percent were common.[improper synthesis?] Cost underestimation was found in each of 20 nations and five continents covered by the study, and cost underestimation had not decreased in the 70 years for which data were available. For IT projects, an industry study by the Standish Group found that the average cost overrun was 43 percent; 71 percent of projects were over budget, exceeded time estimates, and had estimated too narrow a scope; and total waste was estimated at $55 billion per year in the US alone.

Hồ Chí Minh (Vietnamese pronunciation: [hô cǐ miɲ] (Vietnamese pronunciation: [hô̤ tɕǐmɪŋ] (
listen)); 19 May 1890 – 2 September 1969), born Nguyễn Sinh Cung and also known as Nguyễn Tất Thành and Nguyễn Ái Quốc, was a Vietnamese Stalinist revolutionary leader who was prime minister (1945–1955) and president (1945–1969) of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam). He was a key figure in the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945, as well as the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and the Việt Cộng (NLF or VC) during the Vietnam War.
He led the Việt Minh independence movement from 1941 onward, establishing the communist-governed Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 and defeating the French Union in 1954 at Điện Biên Phủ. He officially stepped down from power in 1955 due to health problems, but remained a highly visible figurehead and inspiration for Vietnamese fighting for his cause – a united, independent Vietnam – until his death. After the war, Saigon, the capital of Republic of Vietnam, was renamed Hồ Chí Minh City in his honor.

Oregon's CRC Cost Overrun Risks - Oversight Hearings
SALEM, Ore. - Part of the video testimony from the Columbia River Crossing legislative oversight hearings held, January 14th, 2014 at the Oregon Capitol. Chris Stickler, former CRC staffer and consultant and current project director for ODOT answers questions from Senator Fred Girod of Stayton about cost overruns. Representative Tobias Read makes some comments and then Senator Cliff Bentz of Ontario asks some additional questions. This exchange is very critical because it exposes one of the biggest problems of the Oregon-only CRC plan. Under the current plan any cost overruns have to be paid for by the state of Oregon either by raising tolls or taking the money from the general fund. Cost overruns are a frequent problem for projects of this size. http://www.theatlanticcities.com/jobs-... -

COST OVERRUNS on PANAMA CANAL EXTENSION Cause TENSION and PROBLEMS
COST OVERRUNS on PANAMA CANAL EXTENSION Cause TENSION and PROBLEMS The project to expand the Panama Canal, one of the world's most important shipping routes, was in doubt on Wednesday after talks between the canal administrator and a Spanish-led building consortium fell apart and work ground to a halt. Group United for the Canal, a consortium led by Spanish builder Sacyr, said in a statement that the government's canal authority had broken off talks on who will pay some $1.6 billion needed to complete the ambitious project. The Panama Canal Authority's head, Jorge Quijano, said the canal has held general talks with other companies about work still pending on the expansion, but was open to more talks with the consortium. He said the canal authority has demanded that the consortium resume wo... -

Friday, February 17, 2012 - 2:00-3:30 pm EST This webinar focuses on how safety net providers can tackle cost over runs and scope creep during a health information technology (IT) implementation or upgrade. Leadership and project teams constantly struggle how to balance the competing demands of the project's scope, schedule and cost. While, it is understood that scope creep should be avoided and deliverables should be clearly defined, it is common for health IT professionals to still struggle to find practical strategies to effectively plan and execute their implementation projects. This webinar's presenters come from health center and critical access hospital backgrounds.

COST OVERRUNS on PANAMA CANAL EXTENSION Cause TENSION and PROBLEMS
The project to expand the Panama Canal, one of the world's most important shipping routes, was in doubt on Wednesday after talks between the canal administrator and a Spanish-led building consortium fell apart and work ground to a halt.
Group United for the Canal, a consortium led by Spanish builder Sacyr, said in a statement that the government's canal authority had broken off talks on who will pay some $1.6 billion needed to complete the ambitious project.
The Panama Canal Authority's head, Jorge Quijano, said the canal has held general talks with other companies about work still pending on the expansion, but was open to more talks with the consortium. He said the canal authority has demanded that the consortium resume work on the expansion.
Quijano told a news conference the consortium had been "inflexible" and that the project would be completed in 2015 "with or without" it. He said talks had been complicated because another consortium member, Italy's Salini Impregilo, had taken over the lead from Sacyr.
He said the canal was evaluating its next steps, but a deal was still possible.
"The distance between the parties remained too great, mainly because the (consortium) has acted against the interests of Panama and its canal," Quijano said. "It doesn't mean a deal is no longer possible, although the window is closing minute by minute."
"What we are not going to permit is that the project be halted for an excessive period," he said.
Any delay in the project would be a setback for companies worldwide eager to move larger ships through the Panama Canal, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) producers that want to ship from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Asian markets.
"We support the decision the Panama Canal has taken and we close ranks. What the (consortium) has done is irresponsible," Panama's president, Ricardo Martinelli, told local television. He said last month his country has the resources to complete the expansion even if talks end.
The failure of the talks was the latest setback to a project mired in disputes since the consortium, which also includes a Belgian and Panamanian firm, won a bid to double the capacity of the near 50-mile transoceanic cargo route.

The project was originally expected to cost about $5.25 billion, but the overruns could increase that to near $7 billion.
Asked if the relationship with the canal had broken down definitively, Sacyr CEO Manuel Manrique told Spanish radio: "No."
Shares of Sacyr had risen as much as 6.8 percent on Tuesday in anticipation of a deal, but plunged more than 8 percent on the news on Wednesday before recovering some ground. Salini Impregilo's shares were down more than 1.0 percent.
In its statement, GUPC - the Spanish acronym by which the consortium is known - said the suspension of discussions meant the canal expansion, and up to 10,000 local jobs, were at risk.
If the partnership between Panama and the builders is abandoned, it would likely mean further delays while Panama seeks financing and a new construction group.
If no agreement is reached soon, the canal authority could tell insurer Zurich North America that it wants to end the contract.

As a private citizen, Alan Grayson has a long record fighting defense contractor corruption in Iraq. Now, as a Congressman, he's writing laws to end the culture of waste and greed in defense contracting.
This amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill Currently, if a government contractor incurs a cost overrun, the government bears 100% of the cost overrun. This encourages low-balling in proposals, when a contractor deliberately underestimates the cost of a project so as to secure the business, and then sticks the taxpayer with the bill when the project goes over-budget.
This amendment commissions a GAO study to look in-depth at cost overruns. The Comptroller General would list, for fiscal years 2006-2009, contracts with a cost overrun, the cost estimate of the covered contract, and the cost overrun for the covered contract. The GAO would also list findings and recommendations. Once Congress better understands the contours of this specific problem, Congress can put together legislative proposals that will reduce cost overruns.

Earlier it was reported that construction had stopped, with claims that the operator had broken off negotiations aimed at settling the dispute.

Friday, February 17, 2012 - 2:00-3:30 pm EST
This webinar focuses on how safety net providers can tackle cost over runs and scope creep during a health information technology (IT) implementation or upgrade. Leadership and project teams constantly struggle how to balance the competing demands of the project's scope, schedule and cost. While, it is understood that scope creep should be avoided and deliverables should be clearly defined, it is common for health IT professionals to still struggle to find practical strategies to effectively plan and execute their implementation projects.
This webinar's presenters come from health center and critical access hospital backgrounds. The speakers presentations will focus on the following questions: What project management tools should you utilize to keep your project within costs and scope? How do you use workflow analysis to control costs and keep your implementation within scope? How do you involve staff and work with them in maintaining the project's scope during implementation?
Presenters include:
• J. Brett Tracy, MHA, CPC Research Director
Community Health Centers of Arkansas, Inc.
• Mark Chustz, PhD, Chief Executive Officer

Featuring a unique right-angle turn in a downtown area, the 53 mile (88 kilometre) Mass Rapid Transit railway was to have been the pride of the Taiwanese capital. Instead, there have been construction delays, cost overruns, accidents, disputes between contractors and engineers, firms trading lawsuits and allegations of corruption.

Chief Executive CY Leung has tasked the Secretary for Development to establish and lead a dedicated office to monitor and control the cost of infrastructure projects.
Delivering his 2016 Policy Address today, Mr Leung said construction costs are escalating and several major projects have experienced significant cost overruns.
He said there is a need for the Government to strengthen cost control.
"The Government will soon roll out new measures in relation to public works projects to reduce unnecessary design and contractual requirements under a 'no frills' principle. Such measures, including a holistic review of relevant guidelines, will embrace innovative design concepts and approaches without compromising technical and safety standards."
The Government will put in place an indicative cost system for public works projects. Except for special circumstances and projects that have entered the design stage, the unit cost of all new government building projects must be lower than the benchmarks.
The works departments will enhance the standardisation of project design, promote mechanisation and construction by prefabrication, and adopt the guiding principle of “design for buildability” to reduce costs without undermining safety.
"Procurement and tendering of projects will be refined with the aim of lowering the risk premium included in the tender price and reducing the overall project cost. The Secretary for Development will establish and lead a dedicated office to take forward the relevant work."
The Government will, in collaboration with the Construction Industry Council, provide construction workers with a clear career ladder, boost skill and professional development, and attract new entrants to the industry.
The council forecasts a shortage of up to 15,000 skilled workers in the construction industry for the next few years.
"While we will strive to provide training and attract local workers to join the industry, there is still a genuine need to import workers to cater for our development needs, on the premise of according priority to local workers in employment and safeguarding their wage levels.
"The Government will review the effectiveness of the enhancement measures under the Supplementary Labour Scheme to ensure the sustainable development of the construction industry."
Meanwhile, the Government has also earmarked over $80 million to provide franchised bus companies with a subsidy to install seats at over 1,000 bus stops and real-time bus arrival information display panels for the convenience of waiting passengers. (http://j.mp/1RLBGwT)

The Government will put in place an indicative cost system for public works projects. Except for special circumstances and projects that have entered the design stage, the unit cost of all new government building projects must be lower than the benchmarks.
The works departments will enhance the standardisation of project design, promote mechanisation and construction by prefabrication, and adopt the guiding principle of “design for buildability” to reduce costs without undermining safety.
"Procurement and tendering of projects will be refined with the aim of lowering the risk premium included in the tender price and reducing the overall project cost. The Secretary for Development will establish and lead a dedicated office to take forward the relevant work."
The Government will, in collaboration with the Construction Industry Council, provide construction workers with a clear career ladder, boost skill and professional development, and attract new entrants to the industry.
The council forecasts a shortage of up to 15,000 skilled workers in the construction industry for the next few years.
"While we will strive to provide training and attract local workers to join the industry, there is still a genuine need to import workers to cater for our development needs, on the premise of according priority to local workers in employment and safeguarding their wage levels.
"The Government will review the effectiveness of the enhancement measures under the Supplementary Labour Scheme to ensure the sustainable development of the construction industry."
Meanwhile, the Government has also earmarked over $80 million to provide franchised bus companies with a subsidy to install seats at over 1,000 bus stops and real-time bus arrival information display panels for the convenience of waiting passengers. (http://j.mp/1RLBGwT)

A modern, globally competitive city can't sustain itself on infrastructure built by our grandparents and great-grandparents. Finding funding for urgent projects like the Gateway Tunnels expansion is a major hurdle, but so is overcoming the bureaucracy, delays, and cost overruns that derail so many urban infrastructure plans. If we can't fix our "legal infrastructure," will we ever be able to deliver the bridges, tunnels, and roads New York deserves?

SOT Debbie Davis, Commuter: "Yeah it would be nice to have more trains, more public transit in general would be great to the city would be terrific."

STORYLINE:
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) _ Projected cost overruns for a massive rail tunnel project were below what Gov. Chris Christie used as justification for scrapping the project, according to an independent congressional report released Tuesday.
The Government Accountability Office report also differed with the governor on New Jersey''s stake in financing the project _ about 14 percent, compared to Christie''s statements that New Jersey would be on the hook for 70 percent of the project.
Christie''s office immediately denounced the report''s conclusions, and the Republican governor had his own response Tuesday morning in New York, where he was addressing the George W. Bush Institute Conference on Taxes and Economic Growth.
"The federal government was wrong before, and they are wrong again," he said.
In 2009, under Christie''s predecessor Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine, construction began on the project, known as the ARC, or Access to the Region''s Core. More than a half-billion dollars had been spent on it when Christie pulled the plug in October 2010, saying he didn''t want New Jersey to be on the hook for cost overruns he estimated at $2 billion to $5 billion over the estimated $8.7 billion price tag.
About $3 billion was to be provided by the federal government, $3 billion was to come from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the state was committing about $2.7 billion, drawing from flexible federal highway funds and turnpike toll increases. New York City hadn''t committed any money.
On the day he canceled the project, Christie said his advisers estimated the cost of the tunnel at $11 billion to $14 billion. But the GAO report concluded that the actual price tag was lower.
According to the report, the figure of $8.7 billion remained basically unchanged from mid-2008 to mid-2010. In August 2010, the Federal Transit Administration issued a risk assessment that put the project''s cost at $10.8 billion to $13.7 billion. After input from NJ Transit, which was running the project in New Jersey, the FTA revised the cost range to $9.8 billion to $12.4 billion.
Tuesday''s report served as justification for the governor turning down "a very, very bad deal for New Jersey," according to Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak.

Taiwanese people call Taipei's new railway system the roller coaster ride without the fun and that is before it's even carried its first commuter.
Featuring a unique right-angle turn in a downtown area, the 53 mile (88 kilometre) Mass Rapid Transit railway was to have been the pride of the Taiwanese capital.
Instead, there have been construction delays, cost overruns, accidents, disputes between contractors and engineers, firms trading lawsuits and allegations of corruption.
The initial 10 (b) billion dollar price tag has ballooned by more than 60 per cent since construction began in 1989.
Shiny new deserted stations loom over the capital as its 4.8 million people struggle with traffic jams that are worsening as the huge work sites for the system spread through the city.
The Department of Rapid Transit Systems, known as DORTS, is in charge of the project has been under fire from all quarters and two directors have resigned.
SOUNDBITE:
"There are some people saying that Taipei's MRT is a big joke due to the problems we encountered. It's true we have a lack of experience, but Taipei citizens have insufficient understanding. Many of the problems arise because of our strict quality requirements, some contractors were asked to deconstruct and rebuild due to the low quality of their works".
SUPER CAPTION: Chen Chuen-Liang,
Deputy Director of DORTS (Department of Rapid Transit System)
But the catalogue of mishaps to befall the MRT tells its own story.
The track to Mucha suburb, the first of the six lines planned, was completed last September, but its inauguration has been postponed after the brakes of the automatic train caught fire and several derailments.
Hairline cracks, albeit harmless one, have been found in pillars supporting the above ground section - low quality concrete was blamed.
Buildings began to collapse when work on the underground section started underneath them.
In an investigation of 30 of the 220 subway contracts, the city government found more than a half tainted by possible corruption or shoddy workmanship.
To worsen the existing mess DORTS has been ordered by an arbitrator to pay 40 million (m) dollars to a French transport firm.
It helped build the Mucha Line and incurred huge losses because of delays caused by other contractors.
It is hoped the system will be completed in 12 years but given its track record so far, no- one's counting on it.

The Government today expressed "grave concern" that the Guangzhou-Hong Kong-Shenzhen Express Rail Link project will incur cost overruns of more than 30%.
According to the Mass Transit Railway Corporation's latest assessment, which was submitted to the Government today, commissioning of the rail link must be delayed further, from the end of 2017 to the third quarter of 2018, while the cost estimate must be revised to $85.3 billion.
Secretary for Transport & Housing Prof Anthony Cheung told reporters this afternoon that said the Government "has grave concern" about the project's further delay and cost overrun.
He noted that the latest cost of $85.3 billion is 31.23% more than the original entrustment fee of $65 billion, and 19.3% more than the revised cost of $71.5 billion announced last August.
Prof Cheung added that the Government has serious concern about the project's drastic deviations from the original commissioning schedule and approved funding, adding that it will critically examine the corporation's performance as the project manager and look into its responsibility for the delay and cost overrun.
He stressed that the Government would not accept the continuous cost overrun and let taxpayers pay for the cost of the corporation's performance, and that a way must be found to cap the project's final entrustment fee.
The MTRC's Chief Executive Officer and Projects Director will attend the Legislative Council Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways meeting on July 3, to explain the latest assessment in detail. (http://j.mp/1g7l8k8)

Making the case for Model Based System Engineering
There is published evidence that those who use systems engineering and model-based systems engineering for projects produce better project performance. More pointedly, research shows that program cost over-runs are due to systems engineers' failures to deliver on time and on budget with the expected quality. These weaknesses are often caused by a failure in siloed systems engineering implementation and the tools used to manage the project. There are many articles and papers to support the fact that systems engineering best practices lead to better quality outcomes with lower risk and fewer cost over-runs late in the game. In this fast-paced 40-minute program, Vitech host Jim Obermayer interviews Zane Scott, author, speaker, and Vice President of Professional Services at Vitech Corporatio... -

Simple Monte Carlo simulation examples in Excel
Monte Carlo methods (or Monte Carlo experiments) are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on random sampling to obtain numerical results. They are often used in physical and mathematical problems and are most suited to be applied when it is impossible to obtain a closed-form expression or infeasible to apply a deterministic algorithm. Monte Carlo methods are mainly used in three distinct problems: optimization, numerical integration and generation of samples from a probability distribution. Monte Carlo methods are especially useful for simulating systems with many coupled degrees of freedom, such as fluids, disordered materials, strongly coupled solids, and cellular structures (see cellular Potts model). They are used to model phenomena with significant uncertainty in inputs... -

wn.com/The C.A.B. Show F 35 Lightning Ii Vs. Pierre Sprey... Who's The Real Turkey
Season 1 Episode 5
In this episode, Everythingman987 goes over this history of the F-35 and it's most infamous critic, Pierre Sprey. He then goes on to refute his claims and by the end, show us who the 'REAL' Turkey is!
*NOTE*: I did make a few mistakes, Knots in E-M Theory are measured in TRUE airspeed, another one of them is accidentally calling the F-106 "Delta Dagger", and finally, I accidentally said Hydrogen is a Halon gas and an Inert gas. It isn't.

-------------------- READ DESCRIPTION --------------------
-----Part 1 of the Lunch * Curiosity Launch Hour *-----
After eight years of planning, more than $600 million in cost overruns, and a two-year delay, NASA's Mars Science Laboratory is finally ready to launch.
Now you can watch the nuclear-powered, 1-ton rover — currently the largest machine that can feasibly land on the Red Planet — take off from Cape Canaveral and begin its journey to Mars.
Liftoff is currently scheduled for 10:02 a.m. EST on Saturday, Nov. 26. NASA TV offers HD streaming of the launch (above). But if acronym-filled technobabble is hard on your ears, tune in to one of our other favorite video streams on Spaceflight Now or Spacevidcast (below).
You can also check with NASA's blog for launch commentary starting at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday or follow NASA (@NASA) and the Mars Science Laboratory (@MarsCuriosity) on Twitter for other updates. NASA has also laid out the details of the launch sequence.
Once it lands at Gale Crater in August of 2012, the rover will search for organic chemistry and evidence of whether Mars could ever have hosted life. The rover has a full suite of instruments including a drill and a laser, which will be used to vaporize rocks and gather data on their internal composition.
MSL is set to explore the Martian surface for at least two years and should provide the best data yet about the planet.

For many years software projects have suffered delays and cost overruns due to ambiguous requirements and long cycle times. All the latest surveys of IT organizations show that the problem of bad communication between business and IT persists, with over half of all projects failing and bad requirements being blamed for the bulk of the waste. There has to be a better way. In this economy failure is no longer an option. But how do organizations go about transforming the requirements process?
This web seminar will focus on best practices for creating a fully optimized requirements life cycle that can be leveraged by any organization into project success. Drawing upon years of experience from many successful projects, the experts from Greenridge Business Systems will offer insight into how to take advantage of a “people, process and technology” approach to requirements that can have a dramatic positive impact. A case study involving a large-scale government project will also be showcased. Attendees will also learn requirements gathering best practices when large numbers of stakeholders are involved and how visualization reduces confusion through real-time collaboration and the use of fully immersive and functional simulations.
Topics covered will include:
◾How to enhance the requirements life cycle
◾Best practices for requirements gathering
◾Maximizing the value of stakeholder input throughout the elicitation process
◾How visualization integrates into the IBM Rational environment
◾Lessons learned & best practices for future projects

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsize and oversize cargos, including all air-certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to its smaller C-141 Starlifter predecessor, and the later C-17 Globemaster. The C-5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.
The C-5 Galaxy had a complicated development; significant cost overruns were experienced and Lockheed suffered significant financial difficulties. Shortly after entering service, fractures in the wings of many aircraft were discovered and the C-5 fleet were restricted in capability until corrective work was conducted. The C-5M Super Galaxy is an upgraded version with new engines and modernized avionics designed to extend its service life beyond 2040.
The C-5 Galaxy has been operated by USAF since 1969. In that time, it has been used to support US military operations in all major conflicts including Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan; as well as in support of allies, such as Israel during the Yom Kippur War and NATO operations in the Gulf War. The C-5 has also been used to distribute humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and support the US Space Shuttle program run by NASA.

Monte Carlo methods (or Monte Carlo experiments) are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on random sampling to obtain numerical results. They are often used in physical and mathematical problems and are most suited to be applied when it is impossible to obtain a closed-form expression or infeasible to apply a deterministic algorithm. Monte Carlo methods are mainly used in three distinct problems: optimization, numerical integration and generation of samples from a probability distribution.
Monte Carlo methods are especially useful for simulating systems with many coupled degrees of freedom, such as fluids, disordered materials, strongly coupled solids, and cellular structures (see cellular Potts model). They are used to model phenomena with significant uncertainty in inputs, such as the calculation of risk in business. They are widely used in mathematics, for example to evaluate multidimensional definite integrals with complicated boundary conditions. When Monte Carlo simulations have been applied in space exploration and oil exploration, their predictions of failures, cost overruns and schedule overruns are routinely better than human intuition or alternative "soft" methods.

IAM Assembly Line (Identity and Access Management)
Evolving from hand-assembled to "factory-built" IAM systems.
View our webinar from Tuesday, December 16th at 11am MT / 10am PT / 1pm ET when Idan Shoham re-presented his standing-room only seminar from the 2014 Gartner IAM Summit -- The IAM Assembly Line (Identity and Access Management). In the past, IAM deployments were very customized. This led to cost overruns, missed deadlines and aborted or truncated projects. We present a standardized approach to IAM implementations that significantly lowers cost, shortens timelines and reduces risk.
Industrializing deployment process for Identity and Access Management systems.
This video covers:
• Past problems
○ Risk
○ Cost overruns
○ Rolled back deliverables
• Root cause analysis
• Solution
• Real world examples
What kind of IAM will we discuss here?
• The kind that creates new identities, manages them, assigns and revokes entitlements and ultimately deletes them.
• a.k.a. "User Provisioning" or "Access Governance.
Including:
• Create/delete login ID's and accounts.
• Move/enable/disable/rename.
• Assign and revoke entitlements to users such as group memberships.
• Reset forgotten passwords and clear lockouts with password management and synchronization.
With automation for:
• HR-driven processes.
• Request-driven processes.
• Approvals workflow.
• Periodic re-certification and remediation using access governance.
Summary - Available now!
• Hitachi ID offers IAM reference builds for corporate, B2B and B2C.
• Other patterns coming soon.
• Implementation and modest customization take just 20 ~ 40 days of work.
• Visit us at http://hitachi-id.com or contact info@hitachi-id.com to learn more.

NoSQL Databases & Monte Carlo Simulations
NoSQL & Non-Relational Databases
Slide Presentation: http://www.rosebt.com/uploads/8/1/8/1/8181762/nosql_databases_data_science_group.pdf
Relational databases have been the de facto technology for storing and querying data for 40 years. What is driving the recent innovation in databases? This talk will touch on the history of databases, why RDBMS have been so successful, and why we are seeing the rise of NoSQL databases. Next we will examine the different categories of NoSQL databases and technology. The presentation will finish with a specific introduction to MongoDB, its design principles, and what it looks like to code against.
Will LaForest heads up the Federal practice for 10gen, the MongoDB company. Will is focused on evangelizing the benefits of MongoDB, NoSQL, and (OSS) open source software in solving Big Data challenges in the Federal government. He believes that software in the Big Data space must scale not only from a technical perspective but also from a cost perspective. He has spent 7 years in the NoSQL space focused on the Federal government, most recently as Principal Technologist at MarkLogic. His technical career spans diverse areas from data warehousing, to machine learning, to building statistical visualization software for SPSS but began with code slinging at DARPA. He holds degrees in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Virginia.
Monte Carlo Simulation Methods in Energy Risk Management
Slide Presentation: http://www.rosebt.com/uploads/8/1/8/1/8181762/monte_carlo_simulations_data_science_group.pdf
Monte Carlo methods are stochastic techniques or probabilistic modeling - meaning they are based on the use of random numbers and probability statistics to investigate problems.
They are used to model phenomena with significant uncertainty in inputs, such as the calculation of risk in business. When Monte Carlo simulations have been applied in space exploration and oil exploration, their predictions of failures, cost overruns and schedule overruns are routinely better than human intuition or alternative "soft" methods.
For energy companies, understanding the impact of commodity price movements on the value of a portfolio is critical for hedging, risk management and planning purposes. For example, consider a gas-fired power plant which buys natural gas from a spot market, converts it into electricity, and sells that electricity into a deregulated power spot market.
The generator is exposed to fluctuations in the price it must pay to purchase natural gas and the price it will receive for the sales of power. In order to reduce risks, a power plant operator may choose to buy in advance the natural gas that it anticipates it will need, and to sell in advance the power it anticipates it will generate -- that is contract in advance for the forward purchase of gas and the sale of power at a future delivery period, for a fixed price today. This practice, known as hedging, attempts to remove the uncertainty in future cash flows from the power plant.
The decision on how much and how often to hedge will, in general, require sophisticated analytical methods. One popular method, Monte Carlo simulation, attempts to simulate future states of the world to understand the impact on cash flows.
In this talk, we discuss Monte Carlo methods for energy risk applications. We review one popular approach, which uses a set of linked simulation models to capture the fundamental physical drivers of electricity price formation, and calibrates them to match current prices being quoted in the financial markets. Monte Carlo simulations of weather, load and prices can then be used to value a portfolio of generation assets and trades, and to support hedging and risk management decisions.
