The New Year has just begun, but many are already looking forward to Black History Month. Lifetime recently announced two new films that will air this February—the Gabby Douglas Story and Trip to Bountiful.
The Gabby Douglas Story premieres February 1 and stars Regina King, S. Epatha Merkerson, Imani Hakim, Sydney Mikayla, and Douglas herself.
According to Lifetime it "tells the inspiring true story of the international gymnastics phenomenon who overcame overwhelming odds to become the first African-American ever to be named Individual All-Around Champion in artistic gymnastics at the Olympic Games."
The second film, Trip to Bountiful, airing February 22, is based on Horton Foote's Tony-winning play, which follows "one woman's quest to reconnect with her past in order to ensure her family's future" in the Jim Crow South. The film stars Cicely Tyson, Vanessa Williams, Keke Palmer, and Blair Underwood.
Lifetime has found success showcasing films about African-Americans. Sins of the Mother, based on Carleen Brice's novel Orange, Mint, and Honey was a ratings hit for the network as was Betty and Coretta and Abducted: The Carlina White Story.

As we learned last week, courtesy of his unsuccessful appeal (In re Frank B., 2013 IL App (2d) 120584-U), Mr. B. was ordered committed to the care of the state Department of Human Services, in part because of his entanglement in the classic 4-1-9 scam. As related in the court's opinion:
For himself,Evelyn B., Frank's wife, testified that Frank was retired and collected Social Security and a pension. They used to own a home, but they lost it to foreclosure. She had no knowledge of or control over their finances. At some point she learned that Frank was making investments with individuals in Nigeria, but he would not give her any information. (At this point, the court noted for the record that Evelyn had filed an emergency petition for guardianship on the morning of the hearing and that the court had continued the petition pending the outcome of the mental health hearing.) Evelyn believed that Frank had made some foolish investments. They did not have any money left, except for a small amount in savings. They currently lived in a condominium owned by her daughter and son-in-law. She was not sure what they were responsible for paying, possibly the taxes, association fees, and utilities. Frank had not paid the utility bills for two or three months. Frank received $1,600 in Social Security and $600 from his pension every month. Evelyn also received Social Security. They received enough money to live on. They used to be able to go out for dinner, but they could no longer afford to "because of the money."
On the premise that Frank's continued belief in the integrity of the Nigerian deal was evidence of delusional psychosis, the circuit court ordered, and the appellate court upheld, involuntary commitment. (The court notes, in the one bright spot, that he was committed for thirty days and released in eighteen.)Frank testified that he was 73 years old. He was a retired insurance salesman with Aetna. According to Frank, he was starting a business with his partner, Steven Brown, whom he had known for 20 years. Over those 20 years, he had invested money, along with his partner, in various projects. He estimated that he had invested about half a million dollars. They had had a hard time and lost money. His partner owed him a lot of money. In addition, Frank testified that he was awarded an estate by a dying Nigerian woman, whom he had never met. He sent $1,500 to someone who was supposedly handling the estate transaction, but it turned out that the person was a thief.
Frank further testified that he lived in a condo owned by his daughter. He had agreed to pay the utilities, condo association fees, and rent. He had not made the payments but he intended to. He testified:He testified: "The problem I have had since I have been here is I haven't been able to do any business with anybody. I haven't talked to anybody on the telephone." Frank testified that he received $1,666 per month in Social Security and $640 per month from his pension. In the past few months, he spent the money on food and the "business situation."We're supposed to pay rent, yes. I have not paid that stuff but my plan is to pay that stuff. I got this money coming from my partner. I got money coming from this other deal I have been working on. As far as I'm concerned at this point [the money from Nigeria] is still available.
On cross-examination, Frank testified that he was trying to do his best with the money. He stated: "I am this close to getting it done, if in fact these guys are not scammers." When asked whether he intended on paying the association fees and other bills, he stated: "I am going to take care of everything. It's money—if this is taken care of, I will have plenty of money to take care of everything." He further stated: "I'll go back to work if I have to."
I'm not sure there is any cute comment to be made about this. Lest anyone should think that the 4-1-9 scam is not a big deal, here we have a story of a man who has been utterly ruined, pulled in by a pair of cons; and I cannot help but think that he lost not only his livelihood but also his mind and, for eighteen days at least, his freedom to them.

Earliest known medieval Muslim graves are discovered in France
Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
On the outskirts of the ancient Roman city of Nimes in southern France, archaeologists have discovered the graves of three Muslim men that date back to the eighth century. The finding, reported Wednesday in PLOS One, suggests the early medieval presence of Muslims north of the Pyrenees was more complicated, and perhaps more welcome, than previously…

The following thoughts emerged from an off-line discussion about the use of quality factors in content negiatiation. The premise for what follows is the assertion that the only practical use for a quality factor is to rank some set of alternatives according to preference. Simple sequencing of of alternatives (e.g. per Multipart/Alternative) may not be possible because the sender may not be able to locate (hence present) the alternatives in order of quality. Therefore some separate ranking mechanism is required. I suggest that in this case a 3-digit (max) number is insufficient, as with a significant number of alternatives an implementation will soon run out of space within which to slot further entries between existing entries. I estimate that a perverse presentation would run out ranking space after about 10 entries (log2(1001)). BEGIN COMMENT Why log2(1001)? Assume that the alternatives are discovered by the sender in some arbitrary order, and that the sender must allocate quality factor values to rank the alternatives as they are discovered. (e.g. information about each alternative is being sent out as soon the alternative is discovered.) Then each new q-factor allocation must be placed between the q-factors of some existing pair of alternatives (where 0 and 1 are notional initial entries). Without any prior knowledge of the order in which entries will be presented, each new q-factor should be allocated mid-way between the q-factors of its immediate ranking predecessor and successor, hence dividing the available ranking space by 2. Assuming a worst-case order of presentation, when the n'th alternative has been ranked, the remaining available ranking space next to that entry is reduced to approximately 2^(-n) of the original ranking space. The original ranking space available using a number in [0,1] with three-digit precision contains 1001 possible values. When 1001*2^(-n) is less than 1, no more values are available in the ranking space (under the assumption of worst-case presentation order). 1001 * 2^(-n) < 1 [take base2 logs] => log2(1001) + (-n) < 0 => n > log2(1001) (corresponds to no remaining ranking space) END COMMENT GK. --- ------------ Graham Klyne firstname.lastname@example.com on Thursday, 9 October 1997 01:37:32 UTC

Trailboss Enterprises, Inc. protests the award of a contract to GCH Services LLC under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA5240-05-R-0015, issued by the Department of the Air Force for transient alert services and supplies at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. The protester argues that the agency improperly evaluated its and the awardee's past performance and made an unreasonable award decision.
We deny the protest.
B-297742, Trailboss Enterprises, Inc., March 20, 2006
The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release.
Matter of: Trailboss Enterprises, Inc.
Julia M. I. Holden, Esq., Oles Morrison Rinker & Baker LLP, for the protester.
Michael J. O'Farrell, Jr., Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
Agency properly considered past performance record of predecessor company of awardee in evaluation where solicitation specifically provided that such information would be considered.
Trailboss Enterprises, Inc. protests the award of a contract to GCH Services LLC under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA5240-05-R-0015, issued by the Department of the Air Force for transient alert services and supplies at Andersen Air Force Base,
The solicitation, issued
Regarding the past performance evaluation, each technically acceptable offer was to receive a past performance confidence assessment rating based on information provided by the offeror and data independently obtained by the Air Force showing the offeror's past and present performance as it relates to the probability of successfully accomplishing the work under the RFP. This assessment would result in an overall risk rating of exceptional/high confidence, very good/significant confidence, satisfactory/confidence, neutral/unknown confidence, marginal/little confidence, or unsatisfactory/no confidence.[1] The RFP provided that [p]ast performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will be considered as past performance information for the principal offeror.
Ten proposals were received by the September 9 amended closing date. Five of the proposals, including Trailboss's and GCH's, were determined to be technically acceptable under the first step evaluation. For the second step past performance evaluation, the agency reviewed the references provided by the offerors and Contractor Performance Assessments Reports obtained by the agency. In making its final selection decision, the source selection authority (SSA) compared the offerors' price and past performance ratings. This review led the SSA to reject three proposals (for reasons unrelated to this protest), leaving GCH's proposal--rated exceptional/high confidence and priced at $1,803,210.00--to be compared to Trailboss's, rated very good/significant confidence and lowest priced at $1,535,800.80. Agency Report (AR), Source Selection Decision Document, Tab 8, at 1. In analyzing Trailboss's past performance, the SSA noted concerns under a prior contract regarding safety of operations, including problems with accountability regarding composite tool kits, unserviceable fire bottles, and failure to follow technical orders.
In its initial letter of protest, Trailboss complains generally that the agency failed to consistently evaluate the past performance information received for Trailboss and GCH. Protest at 2. Trailboss specifically points only to its own evaluation, however, arguing that it was improperly downgraded for past performance because the agency's concerns regarding the firm's problems with the composite tool kits and its failure to follow technical orders significantly overstate what occurred on the project.
In its report on the protest, the agency provided a detailed response to the protester's assertions that the agency had overstated performance problems and misevaluated Trailboss's past performance. In its comments responding to the report, Trailboss did not rebut the agency's position and, indeed, made no mention of its initial assertion that its past performance was improperly downgraded. Where, as here, an agency provides a detailed response to a protester's assertions and the protester either does not respond to the agency's position or provides a response that merely references or restates the original allegation without substantively rebutting the agency's position, we deem the initially-raised arguments abandoned.
Trailboss asserts in its comments on the agency report that GCH's proposal should have been rejected as technically unacceptable because a member of the evaluation team noted on his individual evaluation worksheet that GCH had not met the subfactor for the ability to understand and meet the requirements. Protester's Comments at 2; AR, Evaluation Documents, Tab 6, at 66. Trailboss also argues that the same evaluator's individual evaluation sheets for GCH show that he wavered between not met and met (ultimately indicating met) under the scheduling methodologies subfactor, and notes that handwritten comments critical of GCH were marked out. Protester's Comments at 2. Trailboss concludes that, because the source selection document does not explain these concerns or explain why GCH's proposal was rated acceptable, the proposal should have been rejected.
The agency responded to Trailboss's assertions in a supplemental report, explaining that, while the record does show that individual evaluators had initial concerns with various aspects of GCH's proposal, these concerns were resolved through additional review and discussion among the evaluation team members. Regarding the subfactor for the ability to understand and meet the requirements, the solicitation required that the proposed contract manager have a Federal Aviation Administration Airframe and Power Plant (A&P) license. As noted above, one evaluation team member determined that GCH did not meet this requirement because, as stated on his evaluation sheet, GCH's proposed manager would have an A&P and or military license. AR, Evaluation Documents, Tab 6, at 66. The agency explained that, following discussions among the evaluation team members, it was the consensus that GCH's and/or language was sufficient to meet the requirement, Contracting Officer's Supplemental Statement of Facts, at 1, and therefore did not render GCH's proposal technically unacceptable. Supplemental Report at 2-3; Contracting Officer's Supplemental Statement of Facts, at 1.
In its comments on the agency's supplemental report, Trailboss merely restated its protest argument--that there were critical remarks/evaluations made by an individual evaluation team member that were contrary to the final evaluation scores/ determination, and that these inconsistencies were not explained in the source selection document--without taking specific issue with, or otherwise addressing, the agency's explanation of how it determined that GCH met the licensing requirement. As noted above, we view the mere restatement of a protest argument, without a substantive response to the agency's position, as an abandonment of the issue.[2]
Trailboss argues that GCH's exceptional/high confidence past performance rating was unreasonable because it was based on the performance record of a separate firm, GCA International, Inc. The protester concludes that GCH should have received a neutral past performance rating.
Agencies properly may consider the relevant experience and past performance history of key individuals and predecessor companies in evaluating the past performance of a newly-created company, since that experience may be useful in predicting success in future contract performance. United Coatings, B-291978.2,
Trailboss asserts that the agency did not adequately scrutinize the relationship of the two firms, including the possible change of management, or adequately document its findings and determinations in this regard. However, Trailboss points to nothing in the record suggesting that the novation is invalid or that the agency otherwise improperly attributed GCA's past performance to GCH. Indeed, the agency had no reason to question GCH's representations on the face of its proposal or its explanation of the status of the two companies.[3] We conclude that the evaluation of GCH's past performance was reasonable.
The protest is denied.
Anthony H. Gamboa
General Counsel
[1] As relevant here, an exceptional/high confidence rating indicated that no doubt exists that the offeror would successfully perform the required effort; a very good/significant confidence rating indicated little doubt exists that the offeror would successfully perform the required effort. RFP at 13.
[2] The fact that evaluators' individual ratings may differ from the final rating, by itself, does not warrant questioning the evaluation. Agency evaluators may meet to discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of proposals, as was done here, in order to reach a consensus rating, which often differs from the ratings given by individual evaluators, since such discussions are intended to provide evaluators an opportunity to correct mistakes or misperceptions that may have occurred in the initial evaluation. Resource Applications, Inc., B-274943.3,
[3] Moreover, while the agency thus had no reason to review the novation agreement, it states that, in response to the supplemental protest, it requested and received from the awardee a copy of the novation agreement, dated

Have you ever wished you had the perfect card to send to a friend who is struggling with a difficult life journey? Today's post just might be the answer…
There are many artists blogs that I find always interesting, none more than Sandi McIver. Check out her blog here. So one day watching one of her "live" videos, I love a card she was doing with the cowboy boots and a masked technique. Anyone who knows me or follows this blog knows my favorite technique is masking! So today's card was inspired by Sandi's technique not using cowboy boots but the Beautiful You stamp set…
Isn't this sentiment perfect for so many difficult situations?
a little close up of the masked area…
and a peek inside…
Do you like this look? I've made a set of these Beautiful You cards each with a different sentiment for a friend. I can tell you Sandi's cowboy boots looked awesome with a woodgrain in the background. You may be able to see in the close up, I used the Lovely As A Tree for this card in the background.
Here's the Stuff 'N Digits for you…
- Paper: Thick Whisper White and Sahara Sand Cardstock, plus Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper
- Ink: Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Archival Basic Black, Soft Sky and Blushing Bride
- Stamps: Beautiful You and Gorgeous Grunge (splat) and Lovely As A Tree
- Tools 'N Embellishments: Post It Note, Sponge, Blender Pen and Envelope Liner Framelit
- The Sahara Sand base card is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored, folded and burnished at 4-1/4″
- The Succulent Garden DSP is 4-1/8″ X 5-3/8″ attached to card front with SNAIL
- The Thick Whisper White layer is 4″ x 5-1/4″. Cut a piece of copy paper the same size as Whisper White. Cut a slit in center and start tearing a shape big enough for the stamp to fit inside. Add a small amount of SNAIL to back of copy paper at each corner and four places around center opening. Be sure to take most of the sticky off with your fingers before attaching to your Whisper White layer.
- Stamp girl in Archival Basic Black. Then stamp again on Post It paper and "fussy cut". Save this piece in your stamp set container to be used again. Cover the girl image with mask. Use a sponge and lightly sponge over the entire area with both masks in place. Ink Lovely as a tree with Old Olive and stamp. Ink Gorgeous Grunge splat with Sahara Sand. I stamped and pulled the stamp in one direction to create movement. You don't have to do this, but I like it. Stamp umbrella on DSP and "fussy cut". Glue over umbrella image. Remove masking from girl and card front layer…Magic!!!! Do you love the effect?
- Now color her dress in Soft Sky with the Blender Pen, her skin with Blushing Bride (lightly) and her hair with Sahara Sand.
- Add sentiment to top left. Now add this layer to card front with SNAIL.
- Inside there is a layer of Thick Whisper White 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ with a small strip of DSP added at the bottom with SNAIL.
- You can see the envelope was lined with the same DSP.
There are two more cards to this set that I will share with you over the next two days using this same technique. I hope you will give this a try if you haven't tried it before and let me know if you like it.
We still have no baby…
Here's your "B-ism" for today…
Keep those fingers inky and you'll be HaPpY!

If one thing is clear from the offseason, it's the Miami Dolphins will most likely part ways with running back Reggie Bush after two seasons–which should come as no surprise considering his production was down in 2012. While things may not work out with the Dolphins, there are numerous teams that will at least consider bringing Bush on board for the 2013 season and as crazy as it sounds–one of those teams should be the Detroit Lions.
The Lions are coming off a disappointing 2012 season in which they finished with a 4-12 record and one of their biggest areas in need of improvement is the ground game as they ranked 23rd by averaging just 100.8 rushing yards per game. Sure, the rushing numbers will most likely be down for any team with Matthew Stafford as their quarterback, but this is certainly an area that needs to be addressed for the 2013 season.
With a player like Bush expected to be available, Detroit should at least consider bringing him on board.
His numbers may have been down last season, but if the Lions could figure out a way to help Bush return to his 2011 form, it could give them an extra advantage to compete in the NFC North. Obviously, the main factor behind Detroit's success will be the passing game, but that doesn't mean they should stay away from focusing on the ground game as well.
If Bush does become available, this could turn into a situation where it certainly wouldn't hurt the Lions–so it may be worth at least considering for an option.

Liverpool FC and Arsenal FC are set to engage in a transfer battle for Manchester City's James Milner
Liverpool will look to sign James Milner, who could be a free agent come this summer, and will fight Arsenal for his signing, report Daily Express.
The report suggests: The Reds are monitoring Milner's protracted contract negotiations at City and if the talks show any sign of breaking down the Merseyside club are ready to move to snap up the England international.
The 28 year old is in the last year of his contract with the Sky Blues and refused to sign an extension in the summer as he was unsatisfied at his bit-part role last season. Even though he won the Premier League title with the club, Milner did not play a huge part in the title run and was used as a squad player, albeit an important one, throughout
Milner starterd his career with Leeds United, where he graduated from the academy and made his way through the ranks into the senior squad. The player was loved at the club but financial problems eventually forced Leeds to sell Milner to Newcastle United for about £4m. After four years, Aston Villa bought the player for a fee of around £12 million. Milner played some of his best football at the club and his impressive performances earned him the attention of Manchester City, who after having their initial bids rejected, finally got him for £26million cash-plus-player exchange in the summer of 2010, with Stephen Ireland moving to Villa Park.
This season, he has been used more and has been involved in 26 games in all competitions this season – making 14 starts and coming on in 10 other games. However, bit of that has been due to Pellegrini's injury ridden squad. In the absence of all established strikers, Pellegrini has started Navas, Silva, Nasri and Milner to ensure there isn't a shortage of goals up front. He has been played in different positions as well as centrally to ensure that.
Pellegrini is keen for Milner to extend his contract: "I think they are continuing to have conversations and we hope he'll arrive at it soon. I always say he's a very important player for us. He always make a contribution whether he starts or comes on."
Milner is however, reported to be concerned that when the City boss has a fully fit squad, he could again be receded to the bench. The player still has three to four good years left in him, if not more, and it is natural for him to be want to start most games.
Liverpool face competition from Arsenal and both the clubs are reported to be lurking around and pounce in case City are unable in their task. It would be a good move for either side as both could be greatly boosted with a versatile and solid player like Milner within their ranks

Sofie loves to be loved and loves to give love. She is very affectionate and sweet with her baby dolls but in the same token, will slam them on the floor. So, you never know. Sofie likes Curious George and Elmo. She is a huge dog fan. She will eat pretty much anything you give her. Well, except eggs. We're still fighting that battle. Sofie does self- stimming still and feel that will continue. Yet, she doesn't do it at bed. I find that strange b/c all my other self-stimmers would especially do it at bed. We are working still on getting that finger out of her mouth and at this point, it HAS to come out or she will never have the ability to talk. We may have to resort to no-no's which I really don't want to do. We've tried just about everything though.
Sofie has come really far in a year's time. Yes, I know she has a very long way to go but we couldn't be more pleased with how she is doing. I wish I could express the love we feel for her. I really do. She is so very loved by everyone in the family and has most definitely found her place here. And, not afraid to tell you either. LOL. She is very loud, outspoken, and full of life. Only time she is quiet is when she doesn't feel well. Just wanted you all to know how she was doing. Now, time for pictures! So many I wasn't able to show all last year and it drove me crazy b/c I was head over heals in love with her. Wanted to share her with the world. As you know, I'm not all that patient. I'll do a separate post with some more pictures.
Sofie's very first picture at our house. It was her first night there. She was nervous as you can see in her eyes. We figured we'd see if she would eat. She polished off the bowl of beef stroganoff. She was taking it all in. All of it, everyone, everything. We knew we'd have to keep our distance at first as to not scare her or smother her. There were so many unknowns at this point in time.
Sofie with Alyona. Getting to know you.
Sofie and Nik. Nik was elated to have another sister to play with. He really was.
The bond was forming, no doubt. And yes, I had to buy them matching outfits. Went to Target and they were so happy to dress alike. This was them trying it on.
Oh, there were so many new things to learn about her and so much to get used to as well. And more changes that came about as you know. I can't wait to share more of them. More posts to follow with a year in review catch up pictures of Sofie.

Democratic Candidates Make Net Neutrality a Campaign Issue
Activity on net neutrality has been on the back burner somewhat since the House failed to pass legislation on the topic prior to its mid-term election break last month, but 95 congressional hopefuls on Thursday pledged to support net neutrality should they be elected.
The Democratic candidates, led by New Hampshire House hopeful Ann Kuster, have launched netneutralityprotectors.com, an online petition and fundraising effort that pledges to stand up "against any attempt by big corporations to control the Internet and eliminate the Internet's level playing field." The candidates are running for House and Senate positions in 34 states.
The effort is backed by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), a group working to "elect bold progressive candidates."
"This is the first time ever that congressional candidates have joined together to make net neutrality an election issue," Jason Rosenbaum, the senior online campaigns director at PCCC, said in a statement.
On the site, the candidates state that the "open Internet is a vital engine for free speech, economic opportunity, and civic participation in the 21st century. In Congress, I'll fight to protect net neutrality for the entire Internet - wired and wireless - and make sure big corporations aren't allowed to take control of free speech online," they said.
Whether or not net neutrality is a big enough issue to sway voters remains to be seen. Those who actually make it to Congress will likely join their fellow members for an uphill battle.
At the end of September, House Energy & Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman tabled net neutrality legislation after he failed to secure the support of the committee's top Republican. Though Democrats have the majority, Waxman said he would only introduce compromise net neutrality legislation if he got the backing of ranking members Joe Barton and Cliff Stearns. When Barton backed out, the legislation stalled.
The Federal Communications Commission is also addressing net neutrality, but the agency's authority to regulate the Internet was called into question recently after a court found that the FCC had no right to hand down a 2008 network management enforcement action against Comcast.
In August, Verizon and Google introduced a joint policy proposal that would impose net neutrality principles on the Web, but exempt the wireless industry, as well as other "additional" service that broadband providers might embark upon in the future, like telemedicine. In the wake of that proposal, the FCC called for additional comment on the exemption for wireless and other "specialized" services; effectively further delaying a rulemaking process that started in October 2009.
The first round of comments were due to the FCC earlier this month, and stakeholders have until mid-November to issue reply comments, so action on the issue is not likely to occur until at least December, but probably not until 2011.
