Announcement Type: Initial
Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) No.: 93.243
Applications are due by March 10, 2010
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2010 funds for Access to Recovery (ATR) grants. The ATR grants provide funding to Single-State Substance Abuse Agencies in the States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, Tribes and Tribal organizations to carry-out voucher programs for substance abuse clinical treatment and recovery support services pursuant to sections 501(d)(5) and 509 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. sections 290aa(d)(5) and 290bb-2). This program addresses Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 (Substance Abuse).
The Access to Recovery (ATR) Program is designed to provide client choice among substance abuse clinical treatment and recovery support service providers, expand access to a comprehensive array of clinical treatment and recovery support options (including faith-based programmatic options), and increase substance abuse treatment capacity. Monitoring outcomes, tracking costs, and preventing waste, fraud and abuse to ensure accountability and effectiveness in the use of Federal funds are also important elements of the ATR program.
Through the ATR grants, the Single-State Substance Abuse Agencies in the States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, Tribes and Tribal Organizations (hereinafter collectively referred to as “SSAs/Tribes/Tribal Organizations”) will have flexibility in designing and implementing voucher programs, consistent with proven models, to meet the needs of clients in their target regions. A major goal of the ATR program is to ensure that clients have a genuine, free, and independent choice among a network of eligible providers. SSAs/Tribes/Tribal Organizations are encouraged to develop provider networks that offer an array of clinical treatment and recovery support services that can be expected to result in cost-effective, successful outcomes for the largest number of people.
Current and former ATR grantees, as well as entities that have not received an ATR grant and that meet the eligibility criteria, may apply. (See Section III-Eligibility Information for additional information about eligibility for the ATR program.) Current grantees must propose to enhance or expand efforts in the proposed geographic area, client population, services provided, or any other component that was not included in previous grant(s). Applications from previously funded ATR grantees will be subject to evaluation of past performance (GPRA client targets and use of funds as planned in the program budget), among other review criteria (See Section I-2-Expectations and Appendix M of this RFA).
As of February 2009, approximately 1.89 million men and women have been deployed to serve in support of overseas contingency operations, including Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Individuals returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are at increased risk for suffering post-traumatic stress and other related disorders. Experts estimate that up to one-third of returning veterans will need mental health and/or substance abuse treatment and related services. In addition, the family members of returning veterans have an increased need for related support services. To address these concerns, SAMHSA strongly encourages all applicants to consider the unique needs of returning veterans and their families in developing their proposed project.
Eligible applicants are the SSAs in the States, Territories, and the District of Columbia; and the highest ranking official and/or the duly authorized official of a federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribe or tribal organization. Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN Tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities. The administrator of the SSA for Substance Abuse Services in the States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, or the highest ranking official and/or the duly authorized official of the Tribe or Tribal Organization must sign the application. Following the initial award, the Administrator of the SSA or highest ranking official may not delegate responsibility for the grant to any other person or entity.
Eligibility is limited to these applicants because only they have the authority to coordinate funding across the State/Tribe, implement the necessary policy changes, manage the fiscal responsibilities, and coordinate the range of programs necessary for successful implementation of the voucher programs to be funded through these grants.
No more than one ATR application from any one SSA or head of a Tribe or Tribal Organization will be funded.
Current ATR grantees (those funded in 2007), as well as those funded in the 2004 ATR cohort, are eligible to apply for an ATR grant in 2010.
|Anticipated Total Available Funding:
|Anticipated Number of Awards:
|Anticipated Award Amount:
$2 million - $4 million
|Length of Project Period:
||Up to 4 years
Proposed budgets cannot exceed $4 million in total costs (direct and indirect) in any year of the proposed project. Annual continuation awards will depend on the availability of funds, grantee progress in meeting project goals and objectives, timely submission of required data and reports, and compliance with all terms and conditions of award. Awards may be adjusted based on the number of individuals proposed to be served per year.
Supplemental Awards Based on Performance: Section VI-2, Administrative and National Policy Requirements, of this RFA discusses a grantee's proposed performance targets and explains that failure to meet stated goals and objectives may result in suspension or termination of the grant award, or in the reduction or withholding of continuation awards. Conversely, an ATR grantee that exceeds its performance targets or demonstrates efficiencies may receive a supplemental award based on performance to maintain its high level of performance.
At the end of year 2 and year 3 of the ATR grant program, CSAT will review each grantee's cumulative GPRA data submissions to date and assess whether a grantee has:
- Exceeded its target for the number of clients served by 25 percent or more;
- Met or exceeded the 80% target for 6-month follow-up interviews; and
- Provided services based on allowable and allocable cost principles.
(Note: The follow-up rate is calculated by dividing the number of follow-ups completed within the window by the number of intakes for which six months has elapsed.)
Any grantee that meets the above criteria when CSAT conducts the data reviews at the end of year 2 and year 3 may receive a supplemental award of up to 5 percent of the yearly requested amount. When the data is reviewed at the end of year 2, those grantees that meet the above criteria for years 1 and 2 will receive the supplemental award in year 3 of the grant. When the data is reviewed at the end of year 3, those grantees who meet the above criteria for years 1 through 3 will receive the supplemental award in year 4 of the grant. Grantees may be eligible to receive supplemental awards in both years 3 and 4 if the above criteria are met at the time CSAT conducts the data reviews.
Supplemental award amounts will be determined on a sliding scale based on availability of funds and the grantee’s achievement of performance goals and demonstration of sound fiscal management. Applicants should be aware that SAMHSA/CSAT does not plan to make supplemental awards to all grantees, and that it is possible that no grantees will receive supplemental awards based on performance.
If grantees receive a supplemental award based on performance, they will be asked to submit a narrative and budget justification for the award amount. A grantee receiving a supplemental award based on performance may be subject to additional site visits and/or audits to verify the accuracy of the client data reported.

Christ Hospital to expand medical space in Butler County
- Laura Englehart, DBJ Staff Reporter
Christ Hospital will expand its reach further into Butler County.
The Cincinnati-based hospital recently signed a 10-year lease on a nearly 17,000-square-foot space in a medical office building in Liberty Township. Terms of the deal were not disclosed and hospital spokesman Michael Beauchat said plans for the space have not been finalized.
The building likely will house some physician offices, Beauchat said. Whether new jobs will be created also remains unknown, but the hospital administration is certain it wants to provide services closer to patients.
“We are based in downtown Cincinnati, but not everyone lives close by,” Beauchat said. “So, it’s about taking services closer to where people live.”
Christ Hospital has about 4,600 employees spread across its 555-bed hospital and close to 100 ambulatory care sides in the Cincinnati region.
The hospital is not the only health care provider expanding into Butler County and the available land between Cincinnati and Dayton.
Kettering Health Network earlier this year purchased 135 acres at Ohio 129 and Bypass Ohio 4 in Fairfield Township. And Atrium Medical Center, part of Premier Health Partners, has 30 acres yet to be developed on its 200-acre campus at Ohio 122 and Interstate 75 in Warren County.

Anthony Martial is running the risk of becoming a Manchester United urban legend.
Did he really move from Monaco for £36m (BBC) – then the highest fee paid for a teenager – six years ago?
Was the Frenchman actually named United’s Players’ Player of the Year in 2019/20?
Are you sure he tied with Marcus Rashford for the club’s top Premier League scorer that same season?
Unlike many old wives’ tales, these whispers are not just made of hot air.
They all actually happened, believe it or not.
But as Martial’s United tenure continues to crumble, one would be excused for questioning his existence at Old Trafford.
He has started just two games for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since March, his absence owed to a ruptured knee ligament.
The forward hasn’t quite looked the same following the eventual recovery from such serious damage.
Once the spritely, fearless teenager; now a slumbered, struggling mid 20s attacker.
However, there is an opportunity to relive the glory era of days gone by right around the corner.
United travel to West Ham United’s London Stadium this Sunday, eager to eradicate the memory of their mid-week Champions League loss to Young Boys.
Whilst Solskjaer’s side were struck down by Swiss persistence, the Hammers nailed their first Europa League game, beating Dinamo Zagreb 2-0 away from home.
Thanks to their respective continental exploits, the onus really is on the Red Devils to retrieve a result.
Especially as a win for David Moyes would send West Ham above his former employers in the table.
From a Manchester standpoint, United must be triumphant.
So, who are they going to rely on for such a conquest?
Cristiano Ronaldo? Mason Greenwood? Bruno Fernandes?
How about Anthony Martial, the player who absolutely loves playing the boys in claret and blue.
If Solskjaer is the superstitious type, then he cannot look beyond starting the 25-year-old this weekend.
In 11 games facing the Irons, Martial has scored six times, the joint-most goals (with Everton) he’s managed against one opponent.
Add to that five assists – another career-high – and the stats simply don’t lie; the man from Massy is West Ham’s kryptonite.
Of course, managerial decisions cannot be based on good omens and previous records.
Yet, Solskjaer might look more favourably upon Martial’s potential inclusion for this particular fixture.

Yorktel has been awarded the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V contract.
NASA SEWP V is a five-year contract with a five-year option period. Each contract holder may do up to $20 billion through NASA SEWP V. Last year alone, the United States government procured over $2.4 billion in goods and services via NASA SEWP IV.
“We are delighted to now hold such a major contract vehicle through which to deliver our solutions throughout the federal government,” said Yorktel EVP of sales, Greg Douglas. “This contract is a highly strategic accomplishment for Yorktel, and we are honored to continue working with and empowering the US federal government with state-of-the-art video collaboration systems, networks, services, and related information technology.”
For 30 years, Yorktel has empowered federal agencies with myriad levels of secure and non-secure video communications and collaboration, integration, professional services, telepresence, and staffing solutions. The company, which recently secured ISO 27001 certification, boasts a portfolio utilized by agencies including DOE, DOED, SSA, VA, USDA, DOJ, and HHS, as well as various segments of America’s armed forces.
Yorktel’s contract will have a 10-year effective ordering period, including: a five-year base period from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2020, and one five-year option to extend the period of performance through April 30, 2025. The contract, which is open to all federal agencies and their contractors, may be used to procure up to $20 billion of information technology products and product-based services.
“We are especially pleased to hold a contract in the small business category,” added Greg Douglas. “The federal government is very strong in doing business with small businesses. According to NASA, 50 percent of SEWP IV task awards went to small businesses.
“SEWP is truly an amazing success story dating back to its creation in 1993 and Yorktel is ecstatic to win its first NASA SEWP contract; an overwhelming achievement for our team as this preeminent government-wide acquisition contract brings tremendous value.”
As an established and agile leader in the federal acquisition community, the SEWP program office manages a suite of government-wide IT product solution contracts that provide NASA and all federal agencies with timely access to vital technologies. SEWP V contracts streamline the process of providing federal agencies with state-of-the-art tablets, desktops and servers, IT peripherals, network equipment, storage systems, security tools, software products, cloud-based services, video conferencing systems, IT and audiovisual products, as well as related services such as installation, training, and maintenance.

I got the car last Saturday and am having a blast with it.
* It is really small; i owned a Miata as my first sports car and this is REALLY small. You look at the bumpers of almost any car or truck in traffic--takes a little getting used to, but it is really fun on an open road.
* Amazingly compliant over rough roads for being so stiff--quite a decent ride
* the car feels very solid; no rattles--way different than an old euoro version one that I drove
* the stage 2 exhaust is really loud; my wife claims that it does not sound as loud as the 99 esprit that I had, but is seems louder--maybe because you are so close to the engine; the "pops and sputters" in the exhaust tone are really fun; coasting down a hill in gear gives that burbling sound that is not dissimilar to the one that my 355 spider had--kinda fun
* as everyone has said, the car is just a blast to drive; so much grip; it is exactly what it has been billed to be and what others have commented on--that is what makes the car so special
* it does get an amazing amount of attention: I went to see the new 997 at a Porsche dealer and the staff all wanted to see my car; I was sitting behind a beautiful 911 c4s at a light and a group of hs guys were stuck in traffic on the other side--completely ignored the c4s and were hooting and hollering about the elise--this aspect of course is not always a lot of fun unless you like that sort of thing
* stereo sucks as has been stated--radio is OK and that is all I really listen to anyway; the Maserati has an awesome stereo so if I want tunes then I have a choice
* I agree with others that the shifter housing and emergency brake area feel a bit on the cheap and fliimsy side--feels strange to have the whole thing move when you shift.
Enough for now, the car is just plain fun to get into and drive

RHINELANDER, Wis. (WSAW) -- "It's going to effect 289 employees and this should all commence by the 10th of March," explained Stacey Johnson who is the Executive Director for the Oneida County Economic Development.
Johnson said it has been a collaborative effort between federal, state and local officials trying to help those that will lose their jobs.
"It's a scary thing these are people's lives that are effected it's our community but it can absolutely lead to other opportunities," said Johnson.
Johnson added the Department of Workforce Development's Rapid Response team will help those effected find job opportunities.
"So they come into an area like ours and it is just kind of like a set schedule of events that they have working with community leaders and with the company itself. To make sure that those same individuals have access to job retraining, help with unemployment, insurance and whatever it might be," said Johnson.
Johnson said Petco has also hired a company with the same goals in mind.
The city of Rhinelander released a statement saying they pledge their resources to those who have been displaced by this news.
Governor Tony Evers said the closure is very concerning but he says he will do what he can to help. "I'll work with Executive Director Hogan of the WEDC and see if there is any opportunities here. I am not sure the company's decision is final but we are certainly going to explore that," said Evers.
The job meeting will be on January 15, 2019 at 1pm in the Council Chambers at Rhinelander City Hall.

The paper uses a novel set of linked whole-of-population administrative records to examine more than half-a-million Australians who found themselves newly unemployed in the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study estimates that receiving a lump sum of up to A$10,000 from superannuation accounts between April and June 2020 resulted in a 77 per cent lower rate of exit from the unemployment system inside the first quarter of unemployment spells, 32 per cent inside 6 months and 14 per cent inside a year. The job-seeking deterrence is temporary but it took close to eighteen months for a convergence between withdrawers and those that didn’t withdraw. Withdrawals are not ‘off public balance sheet’ stimulus in the short (or longer) term.

Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources.
April 2004 issue,
Klamath Basin Update.
When irrigation water was restored to the Klamath Project irrigators in 2002, most people not directly affected by the curtailment of water in 2001 assumed everything was back to normal. However, for those of us directly affected by the water shutoff, that is not at all the case. For us, life since then has been, and continues to be, a roller coaster ride both emotionally and financially.
My family first started farming in the Klamath Project in 1909. My grandfather started with 80 acres, which was passed on to my father and where I was raised. My brother and I continued farming that land, and other land as the operation grew. Since then, my brother has moved on to other pursuits in life and I formed a partnership with my son and my nephew. We then expanded and currently farm about 1500 acres, of which the original 80 is included.
The past two years, even with full water deliveries, has been very stressful emotionally. For example, in the spring of 2003, we were led to believe that we would have a full water delivery for the crop year and would be able to finish our crops. Therefore we moved ahead and invested the time and money and planted our crops as normal. Then in late June, we were told by BOR, with only a few days notice, that delivery of water would be cut for 5 days to meet ESA requirements under the current biological opinion. Five days does not seem like much but with the way our system operates that would have been extended to 10 days to 2 weeks, by the time the canals would have been re-charged. To us that was a crushing blow. That is a crucial time of year for our crops and they could not stand to go without water for that period of time. All our time and investment would have been lost and it would have destroyed us after having faced such a tremendous loss in 2001.
Financially, we, and there are others in the basin like us, are still feeling the effects of the 2001 curtailment. The first big impact in 2002 was the income tax consequence we felt because the established income-expense cash flow was interrupted. We realized most of the income from the 2000 crop in the 2001 tax year. Since we had no water in 2001 and did not plant crops as normal in 2001 we did not have the normal expenditures for fertilizer, seed, fuel, labor, etc. to offset that income. Also we spent only what was necessary to recover what crops we could. Therefore we were left with a $120,000 tax bill, collectively, between state and federal taxes, and no income from 2001 crops to pay it. ( Our normal income tax bill would be between $20,000 and $30,000, collectively)
The other big financial impact has been the loss of credit and the inability to establish an operating line of credit. Our credit rating with Western Bank dropped from a 6 to an 8 in 2001 and we were told by them in August of 2001 that they would not refinance us in 2002. Therefore we felt our only option was to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Mainly because of that action, and the uncertainty of future water deliveries, banks have been unwilling to establish a line of credit for us. In one case, we were told by a loan officer from outside our area that that particular bank would approve no loans in the Klamath Basin. Locally we were told that primarily because of the reasons mentioned above it would be useless for us to even submit a loan application. Since income from our crops is realized throughout the year, it has been impossible to keep bills paid in a timely manner. Those suppliers where we have large bills such as seed, fertilizer, and fuel have been patient and have carried those bills until such time as we can acquire the capitol to pay them. That allows us to keep bills for the necessities such as health insurance, labor, family living, electricity, heating, etc. paid.
In January of 2003, the status of water deliveries for the 2003 crop year was uncertain at best. We felt that if we were to keep on farming and have a viable operation we had to have assurance of a dependable water supply. With that in mind we chose to drill a well even though we did not have the money. Our suppliers also felt the same way and agreed to let us delay paying them. So, we spent in excess of $100,000 to drill a well. (When I mentioned before that the threatened cutoff of water in June was devastating to us, our well was 2 weeks from being usable) Obviously, we are happy to have an assured water supply, but that money could also could have been used to help pay for fertilizer, fuel etc. That expenditure has carried over into this year in that had we used it to invest in the 2003 crop, our debt this year would be that much less.
These are probably the most noticeable effects of the loss of water in 2001. However, there are other impacts we still feel. Alfalfa crops that went without water in 2001 suffered and a loss of stand occurred. Therefore those fields must be rotated sooner than normal and thus we incur expenses, which would ordinarily be delayed. Expenses associated with weed control are greater than normal since many fields were left un-farmed in 2001. Machinery needed extra repairs in 2002 because of lack of use in 2001 and also because repairs that were not absolutely necessary were not made. In some cases, crops that were planted in the fall of 2000 did not survive 2001. Those crops had to be re-seeded, which meant that ground had to be re-worked as well as re-seeded. Also weed control required more expense as those fields simply went to weeds in 2001. We also could not make payments on long term loans in 2002 or 2003. The lending institutions involved allowed this and did not forclose. However, interest on these notes continued to accrue so instead of decreasing, the amount of the loan actually increased, leaving us with a greater debt load. Family savings were used for living expenses and in some cases these savings were depleted. While these may not seem to have much impact individually, collectively they become greater and require money that would not ordinarily be required and could be invested in the current yearsí crop.
These impacts I have listed are just a few we have felt in the Klamath Basin the last 3 years will continue to be with us until life in the Basin, if ever, returns to normal. Probably the most difficult thing we have to face is the uncertainty of the future. Now, in January, we are finalizing plans for the 2004 crop year but we still donít know if we will have water, or, if so, how much. This uncertainty makes planning for the future, at best, difficult.

Fear of the unknown. Resistance to change. Maybe even some second-guessing.
For the administrators of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools in North Carolina, a large district serving 50,000+ students, the sheer logistics of printing and distributing paper-and-pencil exams across multiple grade levels was an annual challenge. Introducing a new production partner to their standardized testing process created additional complexity.
“NPC was in another state, almost 400 miles away. We hadn’t worked with them before. Would their quality be what we were used to?” explains Deborah Hartman, a district administrator.
By erasing geographical and quality concerns early on, we knew that we could establish a working trust level and hit the ground running. NPC worked closely with test administrators to gain greater insight into their specific requirements and unique logistical challenges before addressing the project itself.
The printing portion of this project was pretty straightforward: producing test forms, answer sheets and 12- to 36-page test booklets. On the flip side, there was significant complexity in the varying page counts, different test versions for multiple subjects and grade levels, as well as generating distribution labels for delivery to multiple testing locations.
For the test distribution, we initially received a thorough yet elaborate spreadsheet outlining all test versions, page counts, test locations and delivery routes. But the supplied information did not seamlessly import into our data management systems. The data transfer was burdened by manual processes. We kept each of these special considerations top of mind as we developed the right process to solve their challenge.
Our software engineers took a proactive approach, developing a custom program to automate the data transfer process. “We used a lot of creative thinking to make this work in the most effective way possible with the least amount of confusion for our customer,” recounts Christie Bonfanti, NPC Preship Specialist. “We updated the address preparation from a manual process to a much more automated system.”
All of the testing materials were delivered to one centralized warehouse location within the school district. We labeled each box on two different sides so that the school name and delivery route were clearly visible to package handlers. Boxes were stacked in the most logical order, based on delivery routes. This helped make distribution to multiple schools within the district as efficient as possible.
The administrators at the school district discovered that the entire process was more efficient than it had ever been.

Last weeks, sensors dominated the Consumer Electronics Show. They showed up in everything from wearables to home automation. In fact, Jack Smith, managing partner and director of digital platforms at GroupM said to Adweek that “sensors will have bigger impact on marketing than the internet did.” 2015 is going to be an exciting year for the sensor industry, and even just a couple of weeks in, there are some amazing developments.
Searching for Life with the Tiniest of Sensors
First, scientists from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland developed a tiny sensor that picks up on vibrations from even the smallest organisms. The team of researchers figure that all life must exhibit movement, so they used extremely sensitive devices called nano-mechanical oscillators. Tests with different bacteria have already proven successful and they hope that these devices will someday land on other planets to look for life.
Sensors Triggered Aboard the International Space Station
Speaking of space, the international space station might have suffered from some sensor misfirings in the last week. The crew of the station were forced to seek quarantine in the Russian quarters while they worked out what to do about an indicated ammonia leak. Eventually, it was determined that the station was safe and the crew have since returned to business as usual.
Higher Levels of Methane than Expected were Detected over LA
At NASA’s California Laboratory for Atmospheric Remote Sensing, NASA detected high levels of methane over Los Angeles. They use a spectromoter to measure levels of methane, carbon dioxide and other pollutants present in 28 sites across LA. In 2014, they found that methane emissions were at about 430,000 U.S. tons annually. This figure is well over what other estimates have calculated. Using sensors may give us a clearer picture of problem areas that will help scientists and engineers come up with a solution.
(via Space Daily)
Citizen Scientists Helping in the Fight Against Pollution
But it might not be just NASA doing the dirty work, plenty of technology is emerging for citizens to detect and fight air pollution. The various technologies haven’t been perfected. Scientists still doubt that devices like the DustDuino and Air Quality Egg will provide the robust pollution data and precise acquisition control needed in research. However, moves are being made by the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a feasible, low-cost system.
Those are the highlights from this week. Stay tuned next Sunday for more updates on emerging technologies in the sensor industry and their applications.

Someone needs to explain to me how THE FOO FIGHTERS became hailed as one of the most important rock bands in recent memory. Even with all of their success, they are the epitome of ‘safe’ rock music – they take no real chances in their sound. (Not for nothing, my boss @ tonight at dawn has always said the have never had any real ‘edge’. So, did I miss something? Now I don’t dislike the band at all, but since their first couple of albums, they have not produced a full album of strong material. Yet, since Wasting Light was a much better album than they had put out since the nineties, I had hope for the new release.
Honestly, it was really the concept behind Sonic Highways that piqued my interest; they recorded one song in each of 8 cities with the respective local legends. The Foo Fighters’ goal was to record a song that encapsulates the aura of each city’s music scene. In addition, they filmed an HBO miniseries that dedicates each episode to the music history of each city. In other words, The Foo Fighters have some lofty goals to meet.
The question is – will their music live up to the hype?
“Something From Nothing” is a decent enough classic rock-tinged opener. Imagery of fire and matches litter the slow build into the explosive conclusion (lighting the fuse). From there, the band takes us back to their familiar ground; “The Feast And The Famine” is the standard punk staple (which I like, by the way), while tracks like “In The Clear”, “Outside” and “Congregation” sound like every mid tempo FF song in existence (“In the Clear” is particularly bland – how can you water down New Orleans?).
Things are not looking too good by this point.
Murky “Subterranean”, recorded in Seattle, fits in well with the cities grunge-y dark past, while also sounding like a distant relative to Queens of the Stone Age’s “Long Slow Goodbye – just not as good. Closer track, “I Am A River”, finishes things off with a repetitively booming chorus which will surely become a sing along for the masses on tour. The album ends as it began for me, decent enough.
The one standout for me was “What Did I Do?/God As My Witness” (Austin); featuring the excellent Gary Clark Jr., the track starts as a lighter, bouncier style rock song than FF usually presents. The mid-song morph into more of an anthemic track is an unexpected, but very welcome (this is as close to QUEEN-like as they have ever tried before, and it works extremely well).
To sum up the ‘experiment’, FF did not live up to the interest of their concept. Foo Fighters are at their best writing punchier, poppier tunes; they should be commended for trying something new at the very least, but these longer songs do not play to their strengths. One thing I learned later was that the band arrived in each town with the music already produced; it was only the lyrics that were to be ‘inspired’ by each city.
A more interesting test would have been to allow the influences of those music scenes into the writing of the actual music; a task that would probably have been extremely difficult to accomplish, but could have spawned much more interesting results. Instead, it’s an interesting effort that ends up with a very Foo Fighter sound. It’s not bad, but nothing to write a postcard home about, let alone a miniseries.
On the plus side, the documentary series is interesting for the historic footage and background alone. If Grohl made this without integrating his band into the mix, it would still have been great. However, I am still waiting for someone to explain to me how the Foo Fighters became so damn important to American music? The fact that I have to watch Dave Grohl discuss the history of American music with POTUS is enough for me declare NAY, good sir!!

Whether your relationship is healthy or not, https://themailbride.com/dating-sites/classmates/ most lovers are guaranteed to argue sooner or later. In fact , quarrels often arise out of simple uncertainty. However , regardless of different both people within a relationship might be, they have to interact with each other to solve clashes.

If you’re working with infrastructure, you’re undoubtedly leveraging infrastructure as code, right? I sure hope so. Otherwise, start now. I’ll be waiting.
A natural evolution might be creating a graphical representation of your infrastructure. Diagrams as code if you will. It is not a new idea. This technique appeared in the tech radar back in 2015. You can hark back to that period where people thought that generating code from UML diagrams was a sensible idea.
Let’s forget that ever happened! Instead, let’s think about using visualization to understand complex architectures. And maintaining those artifacts up to date while we’re at it. I’m going to talk about a tool that builds on top of Graphviz called Diagrams.
What is diagrams?
A tool with a very generic name, that’s for sure. If you check its website, it’s described as:
Diagrams lets you draw the cloud system architecture in Python code.
Pretty straight-forward. Installing it is a one-liner.
pip3 install diagrams
We’re going to create infrastructure diagrams with Python. We’ll commit both the image and the code used to generate them so that everybody in the team can make changes. Let’s get coding, err drawing. I have two examples for you.
Let’s say you have a workflow where you publish alarms to an SNS Topic. That topic is processed by a lambda function, which transforms the data and writes it back to Cloudwatch. Through an event rule, the right alerts reach our event bus.
So much text for such a little thing. I’m surprised you’re still paying attention. Let me hit you with a fancy diagram.
If you check the code, you’ll notice how simple it is. There are three elements.
- The nodes, which are single components. It has a recognizable icon and a name.
- The edges, which are the connections between components. They can be directed or undirected.
- The clusters, which group nodes logically.
And there is not much else. The diagram is built with this snippet.
from diagrams import Diagram, Cluster from diagrams.aws.storage import S3 from diagrams.aws.compute import Lambda from diagrams.aws.integration import SNS, Eventbridge from diagrams.aws.management import Cloudwatch from diagrams.onprem.queue import ActiveMQ with Diagram("Alerting Workflow", show=True): with Cluster('main account'): topic = SNS('SNS Topic') with Cluster('Lambda'): l = Lambda('processor') topic >> l S3('lambda source') - l cl = Cloudwatch('Cloudwatch') l >> cl event = Eventbridge('Cloudwatch\nevent rule') cl >> event with Cluster('Event Bus'): event_bus = ActiveMQ('bus') event >> event_bus
Notice how quickly you can get a decent overview of your system with a just bit of Python.
Networking seems to be uniquely suited for this approach. While researching VPC endpoints, I realized that a clear drawing aids understanding significantly.
Let’s say we are connecting to a Kubernetes cluster because that’s what we all do these days. We’re routing a bunch of different domains to a VPC endpoint. The cluster resides in a different account, so we use an endpoint service to make it available. Add a few more routes, and the whole thing becomes a tangled mess, much like the pile of cables behind your desk. That is until you see this diagram.
Better, isn’t it? What about the code used to generate it?
from diagrams import Cluster, Diagram from diagrams.aws.network import VPC, PublicSubnet, PrivateSubnet, Endpoint, ELB, Route53 from diagrams.aws.compute import EKS with Diagram("Connecting two accounts", show=True): with Cluster("Account 1"): with Cluster("Hosted Zone\nmain.io"): star = Route53("*.test.main.io") subdomain = Route53("test.main.io") with Cluster("Hosted Zone\nalt.dev"): alt = Route53("other.alt.dev") with Cluster("VPC"): VPC() with Cluster(""): PrivateSubnet() endpoint = Endpoint("VPC Endpoint") [star, subdomain, alt] >> endpoint with Cluster("Account 2"): with Cluster("VPC"): VPC() with Cluster(""): PrivateSubnet() service = ELB("VPC\nEndpoint Service") cluster = EKS("Kubernetes\nCluster") endpoint >> service >> cluster
The amount of code used to represent it has grown compared to the previous example. Luckily, using Python gives us access to functions, comprehensions, and other tools to manage this complexity.
The curious case of the diagram that could not be updated
That’s how you use Diagrams. Is it really valuable? I certainly like the pretty icons. Apart from that, it shines in enabling visual documentation to evolve.
I’ve tried to digitalize technical diagrams before. I really tried. Sketch, sketchboard, or even just taking a picture of a hand-drawn diagram. It works until you need to update it, and you don’t have the source. Perhaps it was done by somebody else, who preferred a completely different tool. I’ve often seen a project’s documentation get more and more out of date because nobody can update the damn diagrams. If it’s just source code, your chances get a lot better.
Diagrams is a neat, albeit limited tool. You can’t add much more than what I’ve shown. While that is constraining, it can protect you from yourself. Overly complicated diagrams do more harm than good. If you are representing the system in its entirety, why not check the code directly? The point of abstraction is to make it simpler to understand by omitting some of the details.
In summary, it’s a convenient way to bring clarity into your impenetrable READMEs, and you’ll be able to update the images as your code evolves.

Riley Floyd ’13 – Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a symposium for collegiate newspaper editors co-sponsored by the Council of Independent Colleges and The New York Times. The less than 24 hours that I spent in New York were absolutely incredible, and I did so much in that short amount of time that it felt like I was in the city for much longer than I actually was. At the risk of “hiding the ball,” I’ll give you a summary of my time in Gotham before recapping the day at the Times.
I took a 5:30 plane out of Indianapolis on Thursday afternoon. I did some reading for my Friday classes on the plane and flew into JFK on one of the clearest days I’ve seen in the sky. The weather was beautiful—a perfectly spring-like 60 degrees. I took the AirTrain from the terminal and transferred to the subway in Queens at Jamaica Station. I took the E uptown to 42nd Street and 8th Avenue. I had been in the city once before, so I knew my way around midtown Manhattan decently well. Walking through Times Square to my hotel at 44th Street at 7th Avenue wasn’t the most pleasant or non-claustrophobic experience, but I managed! I checked into my hotel and set about finding a dinner spot. I settled on Bobby Van’s Grill.
Let’s put it this way, I didn’t want to leave the restaurant. Bobby Van’s is a steakhouse chain that began in the Hamptons. They now have over nine locations spread throughout New York and Washington, D.C., and they pride themselves on catering to the likes of Truman Capote and other members of the literary scene. Needless to say, when I saw that on the menu, I knew I had made the right choice. And, late at night, it was great to just sit in the window and watch the people walk by. I went back to my hotel and tried to hit the hay early to get up early the next morning for a run in Central Park. The goal was 5 a.m.
5 a.m. didn’t happen. But 6:40 did! I got up and forewent the idea of a run and decided instead to make just a few stops along the way to enjoying a quick walk in the Park. I made my way over to Rockefeller Plaza (at 49th and 50th Streets between 5th and 6th Avenues) for a stop at Dean & Deluca for a chocolate croissant and coffee. I walked through the Today Show crowd, grabbed breakfast to go, and made my way up 5th Avenue to the Park. Perhaps not surprisingly for 7 a.m. on a Friday, 5th Avenue wasn’t too busy. And that was an awesome change of pace. Last time I was in New York, I was on 5th Avenue during the afternoon, so it was relatively crowded. This time, I could take my time.
Central Park made the 6:40 a.m. wakeup completely worth it. I love the Park, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the City. I pretty much promised myself that I wouldn’t make another visit to the city without going to the Park. I mostly stayed around the Pond just inside of 59th Street; I didn’t have time to go too far. And seeing the runners on their morning runs made me immediately regret the fact that I didn’t have the will power to tread the same trail. Nonetheless, I snapped a few great pictures before walking back to the hotel to check out and get ready for the Times symposium.
I walked to the Times building at 41st and 8th Avenue. Wow. Constructed in 2007, the building is a completely modern, 52 story building with 95,000 square feet of space. And, there’s a Dean & Deluca on the ground floor. Not bad at all.
The symposium was on the 15th floor in the conference center. Outside of the conference rooms hang the 104 Pulitzer Prizes that the Times has won for its work over the years. Later in the day, I won a Starbuck’s card for remembering that little fact. No, I didn’t Google it. It was on the back of a pamphlet about the building that we all received at the start of the symposium. I took a seat and sat with students from Swarthmore, Stony Brook, Towson, and Rutgers. Indeed, a variety of schools both large and small had some of their editors there—including two editors of the Yale Daily News, a paper that I use frequently as a model for design and story ideas.
We first heard from Bill Schmidt, the Deputy Managing Editor of the Times. He spoke about the paper’s commitment to journalism and its role within society. Believe it or not, the Times newsroom is as large now as it was 10 years ago with 25 foreign bureaus and 12 domestic bureaus. And, Schmidt compared the disruption in the wake of the digital revolution to the disruption that arose after Gutenberg invented the printing press. Schmidt gave an interesting talk about the Times evolution over the years and about the publication’s ethos that hasn’t really changed much at all.
We also heard from Don Hecker, Manager for Staff Editor Training; James Dao, National Correspondent for Military and Veterans’ Affairs; Neil Amdur; and Sandy Keenan, Environment Editor. Hecker took us through some editorial exercises and talked about entry-level copy editor positions at the Times. Dao spoke on the risks and rewards of being a foreign correspondent. He’s currently working on a series on an Army battalion’s deployment to Afghanistan and its effect on military families. He “embeds” with them on their trip overseas, comes back home, returns a few months into the tour, and then comes back home with the troops. Amdur has had a fascinating career in the world of sports journalism, and he gave some great, witty career advice. And Keenan, the former Sports Editor, spoke on covering the Beijing Olympics. Interestingly, she just became the Times environment editor, but spent the last nearly 30 years of her career as Sports editor. That cross blending of interests and experiences really stood out to me during my time at Times. Indeed, I think that’s what makes the publication as intriguing as it is.
While all of their talks and facts are too detailed to share here, I can say that the best part of the whole experience was seeing these professionals in their own environment. No, we didn’t get a tour of the newsroom. But it was awesome to see the faces behind the names on the masthead. The people we met on Friday are some of the most brilliant journalists I’ve ever encountered. Some are bookish and have Master’s degrees in journalism. Others never even graduated college. Nonetheless, their commitment to their work and their enthusiasm for it is one of a kind.
Attending the symposium right before finals was perfect. It gave me a chance to get away, clear my head, and to see the rewards of really taking pride in your work.
Oh, and did I mention that I got a free copy of the Times?!
