		<description><![CDATA[ Records are sketchy on exactly when the height-measuring clinometer was invented. Some reports trace it back to Charles F. Marvin, an early 20th-century U.S. Weather Bureau chief who wanted a device to measure the altitude of clouds. It functions using basic principles of trigonometry: angles and tangents and X and Y, elegant mathematics encased in portable plastic, used to determine an essential question about the universe: How big is it?

		<description><![CDATA[ In the middle of the Pakistani night, near the border with Afghanistan, a team of FBI agents dressed in native garb descended on a hotel room. One of those agents, Sean M. Joyce, kicked in the door, tackled a screaming Pakistani man and threw him to the ground. The 1997 raid resulted in the capture of Mir Aimal Kasi , who was later executed for murdering two CIA employees outside the agency’s Langley headquarters. And it marked a milestone in the ascension of Joyce, who in September became the FBI’s deputy director, the bureau’s second-ranking job.

		<description><![CDATA[ The federal government reported Friday that on average, its employees are underpaid by 26.3 percent compared with similar non-federal jobs, a “pay gap” that increased by about 2 percentage points over last year while federal salary rates were frozen. The Bureau of Labor Statistics presented the figures to the Federal Salary Council, an advisory group of federal agency officials, union representatives and outside pay experts.

		<description><![CDATA[ The Russian spies next door are gone but not forgotten. More than a year after the FBI busted a Russian spy ring, the bureau is releasing surveillance videos, documents and photographs from the investigation that led to one of the biggest spy scandals since the end of the Cold War. The trove, the bureau says, provides a “rare glimpse” into the world of counterintelligence.

		<description><![CDATA[ The new acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced a major shake-up of his agency Wednesday and urged Washington insiders to “calm down” about the latest revelations surrounding a controversial ATF gun operation. B. Todd Jones said calm is needed as he begins rebuilding the beleaguered agency, including shuffling top personnel . He made his comments as his boss, Attorney General Eric J. Holder Jr., came under fire this week from Republican lawmakers, with one calling for a special counsel to investigate Holder’s role in the Fast and Furious gun-trafficking operation .

		<description><![CDATA[ “While the output has declined, the bureaucracy at the DOD [Department of Defense] has increased. There is enormous waste. Let me give you an example that was reported to me by former secretary of the Navy John Lehman. During World War II we built 1,000 ships a year. And there were 1,000 people in the Bureau of Ships. That's the purchasing department, if you will. In the 1980s we built 17 ships per year, and we had 4,000 people in purchasing. Today we build nine ships a year. Guess how many people are in purchasing? Twenty-five thousand people.” Read full article > > <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://heave-ho.org/2011/09/06/romney%e2%80%99s-too-good-to-check-fact-on-pentagon-bloat/' addthis:title='Romney’s too-good-to-check fact on Pentagon bloat ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Bloomberg took another step Thursday toward expanding its media empire, announcing plans to buy an Arlington County publisher of legal, tax, business and government news services for $990 million. The deal for the Bureau of National Affairs is the largest in Bloomberg’s 30-year history and comes as the New York-based financial news and data juggernaut seeks to build franchises focused on the legal and government markets. With more than 600 reporters, lawyers and editors on staff, BNA, founded in 1929, offers a wealth of legal, legislative and regulatory news and commentary through about 300 online and print outlets. The company, which reported 2010 revenue of $331 million, is known for such publications as U.S. Law Week and Daily Labor Report.
