The Best Of The Rest Of The Fireballs' Vocals, CD (£11.50)
During the early 1990s, Ace Records negotiated a long-term contract with the Norman Petty Estate. The goal for Ace was to begin releasing material recorded by the Fireballs and Jimmy Gilmer on CD format and if the first release project proved to be successful, other Fireballs CDs would follow. Now, as we look back to 1993, eight Gilmer-Fireballs CDs have been digitally remastered and released on CD. Along the way, there have been many highlights for me while working on these Fireballs-Ace projects. Ace has maintained an excellent reputation for putting out quality products and they always go the extra mile to find the best master tapes available. This made my involvement much more pleasurable, to say the least, especially since I've always tried to be a perfectionist with any Norman Petty endeavour I take on!
This latest CD, The Best Of The Rest Of The Fireballs' Vocals Featuring Jimmy Gilmer is another example of just how talented the Fireballs were. Much of the material on this CD is taken from the B-sides of their 45 hit singles. What is odd is the fact that most of these tracks never made it to any of their original album releases. So, after a lot of work sorting out this track selection, we present these songs to you for the first time on CD.
To begin this CD, we start with a rare musical bonus, Jimmy Gilmer's first 45 release, dating back to 1959 before he was a Fireball. Look Alive and Because I Need You were recorded at Norman Petty's studios, while Gilmer was struggling to start a recording career of his own. Also accompanying Gilmer on that very first trip to Clovis was his friend, the late Gary Swafford, a very well-respected drummer.
Another rare track on this album is Gilmer's recording of I'm Gonna Go Walkin', which was written by country artist Johnny Duncan. The original 45 was released on the very obscure Hamilton label, a subsidiary of Dot Records. Today the original single is just about impossible to find, but fortunately, we had access to the original Petty master tapes.
While under contract to Dot Records, Norman Petty was able to release a lot of the Gilmer-Fireballs material under different names, trying to increase the boys' chances for a hit record. This concept worked well for Buddy Holly & the Crickets, but remember that in 1964 the US was dealing with the British invasion, so many American artists were struggling just to get airplay on radio stations during that time.
Most of the Fireballs' Dot material can be broken down into four different categories. The early Dot vocal recordings were credited to Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs, with Jimmy singing lead vocals. The early instrumental singles on Dot were credited to the Fireballs. In 1964, '65 and early '66, there were a few Dot releases crediting the Fireballs as a vocal group without Gilmer on lead vocals. These songs include Baby What's Wrong, Yummie Yama Papa, More Than I Can Say, Beating Of My Heart, Ja-Da and Say I Am. All of these tracks were originally released as 45s and were never included on any of the Fireballs albums during the 1960s. All tracks are included on this CD. Last but not least, there were several Jimmy Gilmer releases on Dot credited under his own name without a mention of the Fireballs. All of the single releases that featured Gilmer as a solo artist but never made it to an album release are included on this CD. They include Cinnamon Cindy, Break His Heart For Me, a slow version of Buddy Holly's Lonesome Tears (originally only released as a single), Born To Be With You and Somebody Stole My Watermelon.
The remaining seven tracks on this CD were originally contracted and released through Atco Records. Norman Petty and the Fireballs were not happy with Dot during their later years, so Petty decided to shop around and market the group to other record labels. Eventually, he sparked some interest at Atlantic Records through two of its top executives, Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler. Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs signed with Atlantic in 1967-.-all of the boys' recordings would be released on one of Atlantic's subsidiary labels, Atco Records. The Atco tracks included on this CD were never issued in album form back in the 60s, so it was a natural decision to include them here.
This CD brings us to a close in some ways, as this release includes all of the remaining Gilmer-Fireballs issued material that was released from 1959-1969. We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed all of the Jimmy Gilmer and Fireballs albums that Ace have released and finally we also want you to know that we have found more unissued material, both instrumental and vocal which we expect to be released through Ace Records in the near future. Watch for them!

Skip to comments.IRS chief defends targeting of groups as 'obnoxious,' not illegal
Posted on 05/17/2013 10:12:04 AM PDT by xzins
Acting IRS chief Steven Miller on Friday said he did not believe agency officials did anything illegal when giving extra scrutiny to conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
Miller, who was forced to resign this week by President Obama, said he didnt believe the scrutiny was illegal even as he apologized for the IRSs actions, which have turned into a political storm for the White House.
He also admitted under questioning from House Ways and Means Committee members that facts could emerge that might change whether he thinks anyone in the agency committed a crime, and he said one staffer involved in the extra scrutiny was reassigned and another received counseling.
Facing tense, and at times hostile, questions from GOP lawmakers at the first congressional hearing on the IRS controversy, Miller said the screening process the IRS used was obnoxious and called the customer service the agency offered horrible.
Miller stressed that the extra attention happened because IRS officials faced an avalanche of applications for tax-exempt status.
But he also pushed back on GOP lawmakers who said the IRS was targeting conservatives, calling that a loaded statement.
When you talk about targeting, thats a pejorative term, Miller said.
Asked if the IRS's actions had been illegal, he responded: I dont believe it is.
He then added of the behavior: I dont believe it should happen.
Millers answers have not sit well with GOP lawmakers throughout Fridays hearing, and his comments fly in the face of top Republicans like Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who have said that agency staffers should be jailed.
Republicans on Friday accused the acting IRS chief of lying to them about the extra scrutiny given to conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. Miller found out about that special attention more than a year ago but declined to tell lawmakers.
At the start of Fridays committee hearing, Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) rattled off several different violations he believes the IRS committed.
Camp also linked the IRS uproar to what he called a culture of cover-ups and political intimidation in this administration, an apparent reference to last years attack in Benghazi, Libya, and the Justice Departments subpoena of reporter records.
This systemic abuse cannot be fixed with just one resignation, Camp said. And, as much as I expect more people need to go, the reality is this is not a personnel problem. This is a problem of the IRS being too large, too powerful, too intrusive and too abusive of honest, hardworking taxpayers.
But Republicans on the panel have also expressed frustration throughout the hearing at Millers sometimes feisty answers, with the acting chief maintaining that he did not lie to them.
You're not going to cooperate with me, Mr. Miller, and you've been uncooperative in this hearing, Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.) told the IRS official.
Democrats acknowledged that the IRS had made serious mistakes and generally agreed with Millers statements that agency officials did not target Tea Party and conservative groups for political reasons.
What I'm trying to point out, and basically to debunk, is the notion or idea the political statements and, I believe, nonfactual statements by Chairman Camp to link these scandals to the White House, said Rep. Joe Crowley (N.Y.), a member of House Democratic leadership.
Democrats also stressed repeatedly that the Doug Shulman, who was IRS commissioner when the targeting took place, was nominated by former President George W. Bush. And several said that the major issue was the cloudy regulations guiding which groups should be granted tax-exempt status.
Miller is testifying along with Russell George, the Treasury inspector general whose report details what he called ineffective management at the agency.
Georges report found that the IRS asked for excessive information from conservative groups, including donor lists and whether group leaders wanted to run for public office. The IRS also applied inconsistent principles when deciding which groups to give extra screening, the report said, leading some groups to wait months or years for approval.
According to the inspector generals report, Lois Lerner, the IRS official who first disclosed the targeting, found out in June 2011. Lerner pushed for the screening guidelines to be changed, but other IRS officials eventually went around her to change them again.
Georges report also says that IRS staffers assert that lower-level employees crafted the screening process and that they were not influenced by any outside group.
Miller on Friday acknowledged that Lerners disclosure of the IRS targeting last Friday came from a planted question.
Camp had said in his opening statement that he was interested in hearing why the IRS targeting occurred and why the agency kept it secret for so long, who started the extra scrutiny, and when President Obama and his administration found out.
But in a hearing break, he told The Hill that he wasnt satisfied with the answers the panel was getting from Miller, a feeling shared by other Republicans.
On the one hand, youre arguing today that the IRS is not corrupt, said Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.). But the subtext of that is you say, Look, were just incompetent. And I think it is a perilous pathway to go down.

Miller and his friends in the IRSS are the pinnacle of arrogant big government corrupt liars..
That hearing was an incredible conga-line of lies...
No you a-wipe. It is a violation of federal law, the Hatch Act, to do what Obama had you do.
So who will apologize to Nixon?
when you could wind up doing some serious time,
it is usually better to keep QUIET (and let your lawyer talk for you)
Let's see what the Lawyers say.

Miller, who was forced to resign this week by President Obama
HE was THROWN UNDER THE OBAMA BLAME BUS!
It's called "DISCRIMINATION".
And last time i checked, it IS illegal.
Steven Miller wasn't even acting commissioner during the time the targeting took place. He was in charge of big business division and then "services and enforcement."
A guy named Shulman was in charge at the time. So Obama's firing of a guy who wasn't even there, and who is able to retire, is an in-your-face.
What do I think?
What I know is Miller and his corrupt IRS sidekick were lying nearly every time they spoke.
These people have no respect for freedom, the American people or the Constitution...Of course laws were breached.
The House needs to hold a vote to Abolish the IRS with a Flat tax. Let the Democrats vote for the corrupt IRS now.
Who gives a damn? Is he not just another brick in the corrupt biggov wall?
Did you not hear his lying evasive, deceitful responses?
Was it not obvious to you he's part of this choreographed corrupt government cover up?
I guess that now we taxpayers can refuse to pay our federal taxes, and we can argue that our refusal to pay our taxes is merely "obnoxious" and not "illegal." Too funny.
I would like to know if all the applications from tea party groups for tax-exempt status are now being fast-tracked at the IRS.
And I would like to see what the new questionnaire looks like.
I think you, like other members who will post violations of 'law', show, again, that the Law is not made for those in D.C., but for We the People, whom they attempt to bleed ($$) dry.
There is no longer Equal Protection under the Law, there is no Constitution; we are a lawless Democracy on the way down to revolt, upheaval and despair. We are certainly over the ~200 yr run of those in the past.
Forced to resign my ass. He had already put in his papers, and now Obama wants to play hard ass by saying he forced it.
Lying sacks of crap, just can't help it they have to lie.
Violating someone's Civil Rights under color of authority must break dozens of laws.
...Miller has served most of his 25 years at the IRS, an agency in the Treasury Department, in its Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division (TE/GE).
Starting as special assistant to the assistant commissioner for Employee Plans and Exempt Organizations, Miller rose to acting assistant commissioner, then director of Exempt Organizations from 1999 to 2004, capping his TE/GE service as commissioner of TE/GE from 2004 to April 2009...
Steven Miller is all political theater.
I didn't bother to watch the charade this morning.
Theater? Bad actor?
Fact is, Miller is a vile lying evasive deceitful snake.
This was inordinately clear.
Check again, Chuckles. It's illegal as hell. BTT.
So Nixon was doing the RIGHT thing with HIS I.R.S. targetting.
I guarentee you by decades end, there will be mass killings of 'undesirable citizens' and the Czar will defend the practice as "obnoxious but not illegal."
Holder is not the only one in DC who knows nothing. Miller knows nothing either.
Minorities in IRS: What is the percentage? I heard it was 50%. Is that true?
You're not paying attention.
If Miller wasn't in charge at the time, then what exactly was the point of firing him.
They might as well have fired you.
Obama got away with offering up the wrong guy.
But not during the run up to the election of 2012.
In the runup to 2012, he was in charge of Enforcement!
His testimony was way too evasive and offensive for him not to be up to his ears.
Jail time for all involved.
Harassing people under the color of law is a federal offense. Hang 'em!
Yes. In 2009 he went from tax exempts first to Big Business department and then to services and enforcement.
Doug Shulman was the guy in charge when conservative groups were targeted. He retired and Miller took charge on Nov 9, 3 days after the election.
Being from Cincy originally, I know that the IRS building is smack amidst those precincts that went 95-100% for Obama.
Before it's over, Geithner's fingerprints will be all over this too.
Geithner's leaving takes on a new dimension, doesn't it?
Did you not hear his lying evasive, deceitful responses?
Was it not obvious to you he's part of this choreographed corrupt government cover up?
Youre not paying attention. If Miller wasnt in charge at the time, then what exactly was the point of firing him.
Uh...Please direct your attention to the two sentences above. Once again, just a wild guess, but based strictly on his evasive deceptive responses, he's part of the cover up. If not, why in hell would his responses be evasive and deceptive?
Obviously, this AH is part of the coverup, and likely was fired as part of a diversionary tactic. It's might comes as a shock to you, but government is really good at this kind of thing.
This is not that complex.
Question Miller all they want, get all the info they can from him. I've no problem with that. However, they'll not be getting info from a person in charge of that function at that time.
And his firing was Obama giving the middle finger to all of us.
They should have fired the lady who was promoted to the ObamaCare department of the IRS. She was involved in the actual misdeeds at the critical times.
Hello? Are you talking about Ingram?
""Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.""
Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit.
Grant announced today that he would retire June 3, despite being appointed as commissioner of the tax-exempt office May 8, a week ago.
You don't think all these people are involved?
You don't think they will depose and interrogate Ingram?
This was a way to make the dummies think he's taking action. It's all part of the diversion and deception.
This isn't over zin.
It's just started.
I find it unusual that you don't realize that Obama's firing Miller was just a ploy.
So be it.
Go on being happy that Obama gave everyone the finger.
I suppose it's even possible you believe Obama was really, honestly trying to make the right people pay for this.
Try reading real slow, #40 and 41.
Please read prior to commenting and stop babbling. Thanks!
Finally, you're seeing the light.
Finally, you're seeing the light.
I noted early on you totally evaded these questions below.
Did you not hear his lying evasive, deceitful responses?
Was it not obvious to you he's part of this choreographed corrupt government cover up?
And ya got this wrong too.
Obama had this guy resign in an effort to deceive the American people into thinking he, "Got tough, took charge and made those responsible pay"
It's was all bull cheet to deceive...It had zip to do with, Obama doing this to "Be in your face".
Get it right zin.
I have answered and posted about Miller all along. My point is, and always has been, that he's not the one that should have been fired to get Obama off the media hook. As I've said again and again, he wasn't in charge of either the IRS or the relevant department at the critical times.
Get it right zin...
It's more than deceit. It's a two-fer. He got to act tough will giving you the middle finger. EVERYONE knew Miller wasn't in charge at the time of the run-up to the election.
I am right. I've been right all along.
In your case, though, you need someone to bow to your superior intellect.
Please consider this my admission that you are the master of the universe.

By DONALD A. MOSKOWITZLondonderryNH
Senator Obama's energy policy consists of trying to reign in speculation of oil in the markets, promoting alternative energy sources and increasing the mileage standards of automobiles.
First, the automobile manufacturers have been increasing mileage standards for years, and they are currently producing smaller, fuel efficient cars which get 35-45 miles per gallon.
Second, alternative energy sources, e.g. wind, solar, thermal, hydro, tides can only provide a very small portion, maybe 10-15 percent, of our energy requirements.
Third, the supposed speculation of oil in the markets has its root cause in classic economic conditions.
Since the demand for oil is approximately equal to the available supply, prices are high, and any perturbations in the supply of oil puts upward pressure on prices. Supply is controlled by OPEC, domestic production, and U.S. refineries. To increase supply we have to increase domestic oil production and build refineries. On the demand side, gasoline consumption has been steadily decreasing in the U.S. due to less travel, a switch to smaller cars, car pooling and the increased use of mass transit systems.Unfortunately Senator Obama came up with an untenable program, because he does not have the experience and good judgment to make sound decisions. John McCain will increase domestic oil production, build nuclear power plants, promote alternative energy sources and encourage reduced gasoline consumption.

Establishes the four-year "New Jersey Innovation Inspiration School Grant Pilot Program" in DOE to fund non-traditional STEM programs."
NJEA supports S-2562 (Allen, Ruiz)/A-2015 (Singleton, Wagner, Wimberly, Riley, Caride). This bill would create the New Jersey Innovation Inspiration Grant pilot program, a grant program designed to increase access to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs for high school students.
STEM education is critical for our future. Predictions of future job requirements include a high level of STEM knowledge, yet only a small number of American students choose to major in STEM fields when compared to other countries.
Innovative STEM programs in high school introduce students to the range of possibilities in the field and better-prepare them for STEM programs in college. With the expected demand for both post-secondary training and college degrees in STEM fields, New Jersey needs to do everything it can to help promote study in science, technology, engineering, and math.
This bill will help do that by establishing a grant fund in the Department of Education, and awarding grants of no more than $150,000 to up to six school districts chosen for the pilot to establish or expand STEM programs. These grants must be matched by both the district and through private funds.
NJEA asks that you vote yes on S-2562/A-2015.

Southern control fleeting at times
September 22, 2006
If there is one thing that I learned living in the South, it's that a Southern lady maintains control no matter how badly her children act. A few weeks ago I embarked on a trip to Rome with my children. I was determined to maintain Southern composure. Except that I am Italian, and Southern composure is the furthest thing from my genetically wired Mediterranean temper.
The day of the trip arrived, and to my enormous surprise, checking in at the airport was relatively painless. The first flight was barely an hour long. A couple of flight attendants and a passenger commented on how well-behaved my children were, and I politely thanked them and soaked in satisfaction. I was displaying Southern composure splendidly.
But, as we taxied to the gate, my 2-year-old vomited all over me, herself, the gentleman sitting in front of us and the central aisle. "Mama, I bart," she said, meaning barfed. We were sitting in the front of the plane so the mess was between nearly all the other passengers and their freedom. As I reached in my diaper bag to get some wipes, the flight attendant came to the speaker and announced, "Little sister here in row 5 barfed in the aisle. Please wait for us to clean the way before you leave your seats."
If anyone on the flight missed the action in row 5, he or she was in the dark no longer. I began to feel frantic and worried about the smell that seemed to have enveloped us.
The plane had come to a complete halt on the tarmac. My children were crying and I asked the flight attendant if I could use the restroom, but she told me I had to "remain seated until the fasten seat belt sign is turned off."
I was covered in vomit and compulsively tried to get as much as I could off my blouse, though I was mostly just rubbing it in. After 30 minutes inside a hot and stinky plane, the flight attendant proceeded to clean the aisle, and we finally exited.
I had only 15 minutes to get to my connecting flight, which meant no time to get changed. I ran through the terminal, having completely lost my Southern composure. I wonder, if I ever had one — a crazy Italian woman at the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport trying to get from Terminal A to Terminal E in a matter of minutes. I desperately pleaded with a man on one of those beeping airport cars to give me a ride, but he said he couldn't. Somehow I saw terminal E on the horizon, and I made a mad dash to my gate. We were the last passengers to board.
After takeoff, I was able to change my clothes and my daughter's. The rest of the plane ride was mostly atrocious, and 11 long hours later we exited the plane anxious to greet my relatives. They asked me how the plane ride went and, even though I was exhausted and looked disheveled, I responded with perfect Southern composure: "It was just fine." "That bad?" said my mom, pointing to my hair. As I reached, I felt something stuck to the side of my head, a little piece of "bart" from our first flight.
Well, I smiled, there was always next time.

Passing Mia: Fan writes song and makes YouTube video about Abby
A couple of weeks ago, someone e-mailed me suggesting that so much coverage of Abby Wambach was a factor in the not-so-great attendance at Sahlen's Stadium for Flash matches. Through six matches, Western New York is averaging 3,632 fans, that's fourth in the National Women's Soccer League behind Portland (12,857), FC Kansas City (4,378) and Washington (4,268), a last-place club with just one win.
The premise of the person who e-mailed: The rest of the Western New York players, ones who've been with the team longer, deserved some coverage, and if I provided that it would boost attendance. Huh? I'm sure that person thinks the e-mail prompted Wednesday's story on Flash defender Alex Sahlen. Well, it didn't. I'd been thinking about it all season and Sahlen's three assists in four games was perfect timing for it.
There is some merit to the e-mailer's suggestion about spreading the wealth and writing about more than one player. I just didn't understand – and still don't – the logic behind why anyone would think it would attract more fans. Wambach is the drawing card, she's who most fans come to see, and just her presence on the team helps the Flash get better media coverage. They're on the front page more and on the TV news more simply because the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year, a Pittsford native who has scored more international goals (160) than any other person on the planet, is on the team.
It's quite obvious to me. Listen, this is no shot or disrespect to other Flash players. They're very good and all good pros, just like Abby, but she's the main attraction. Her teammates know that. Do they feel they don't get as much credit as they deserve? Probably. That's human nature. But in regard to media attention, they know she helps the team, helps the league and helps the sport.
Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez haven't played a game this season. Are Yankees fans blaming too many stories on them for the lack of fans at games? Um, yeah – no. Wambach's career has inspired others in many ways. Heck, some fans even write songs about her (to my knowledge, I know of no other songs written about Flash players).
So … what you've been reading was my long-winded lead in to this wonderful song below. It's performed and written by Abby O'Connor, a BIG U.S. women's national team fan who is a very talented young songwriter. She's 19 years old and a sophomore at the University of Texas in Austin. She's a public relations major who may pursue a degree in sports media.
"Music is just a hobby," she says, "and I really only play in my bedroom." A native of Houston, she has done 15 songs on YouTube. What she does is take the music from another song and adapt the lyrics to fit her soccer theme. This one is called "Passing Mia," and the rhythm or music is from ABBA's Mama Mia! It is, of course, about Wambach surpassing Mia Hamm's world record of 158 goals on June 20 when Abby scored four in the first half in a 5-0 victory over South Korea. From Chasing Mia to Passing Mia to Chasing Abby (which is what Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux will be doing for years). It's pretty sweet and a pretty cool song. Enjoy.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

I'm proud to be a member of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association. I was very pleased to find the following email in my inbox this morning:
The following official statement has been authorized by the Executive Officers of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association and comes as a result of recent press announcements concerning the notice filed with the Connecticut Claims Commissioner requesting permission to sue the State as a result of the tragedy at Sandy Hook.
"CTLA joins with all other citizens in CT in mourning the tragic loss of life in Newtown. We believe that the timing and circumstances of this action are ill-advised. We will continue to extend our heartfelt sympathies to the victims of the Newtown tragedy and we remain committed to joining the efforts of countless individuals in CT and around the country to find ways to assist the victims and families affected by this tragedy."
Reading comments on various websites prompted me to write yesterday's post. The majority of attorneys in the Connecticut Bar do outstanding things for their clients and communities. I'm happy to see the CTLA issue this statement on behalf of its members. I support it entirely.

The process of answering these ten questions is the starting point to implement a solid outsourcing privacy environment. To assist in developing and applying good outsourcing privacy practices, elements of the AICPA/CPA Canada's GAPP can be used to address risks or exposures when management collects the necessary information to answer the 10 privacy outsourcing questions listed above.
GAPP: Generally Accepted Privacy Principles
The AICPA/CPA Canada GAPP contains ten privacy principles and 73 related criteria that are essential for the proper protection and management of personal information. These privacy principles and criteria are based on internationally known fair information practices included in privacy laws and regulations of various jurisdictions around the world. The criteria can be used by organizations to perform privacy strategic and business planning, privacy gap and risk analysis, and privacy policy design and implementation. While not every one of the criteria is related to outsourcing activities, many are. Here are the principles and specific criteria that can be used in designing good privacy practices for an organization's outsourcing activities. The numbers refer back to specific citations within the GAPP.
The Management principle guides your organization in defining, documenting, communicating and assigning accountability for privacy policies and procedures.
One of the management criteria (1.2.5) requires that your organization's personnel or advisors review all third-party contracts and service-level agreements for consistency with privacy policies and procedures, and address any inconsistencies. Optimally, this step would be done before entering into any contracts or agreements. If your organization is already a party to existing contracts or agreements, the documents should be carefully reviewed. If inconsistencies are found, then you should consider the risks of these inconsistencies and devise a plan to address them. For example, if the risk is high and gaping differences are found, then a new agreement may be necessary, and in extreme cases, early termination of the contract may be considered.
In addition, management should consider 1.2.11, which requires that changes in business and regulatory environments be identified and addressed. These changes need to be examined for each jurisdiction in which the entity operates. Specifically, your entity needs to have an ongoing process in place to monitor, assess and address the effect on privacy of changes in contracts, including service-level agreements with third parties. For example, changes that alter the privacy and security-related clauses in contracts are reviewed and approved by the privacy officer or corporate counsel before they are executed. Privacy policies and procedures need to be updated for any significant changes found.
The Notice principle ensures your organization provides "Notice" to all customers about its privacy policies and procedures, and identifies the purposes for which personal information is collected, used, retained and disclosed. One of the criteria (2.2.2) requires that notice be given about all entities and activities covered by the privacy policies and procedures. Specifically, the privacy policy should describe any third parties that access or use your personal information, including delivery companies, customer call centers, data entry businesses and payment processing centers. The "Notice" also should describe the types of information that can be accessed or used by the third parties.
The Collection principle requires that your organization collect personal information only for the purposes identified in the notice. Specifically, 4.2.3 requires that when personal information is collected from third parties (sources other than the individual), the sources are reliable, and must collect information fairly and lawfully. If data is collected from an offshore third party, then care needs to be taken that data is collected in accordance with your organization's legal jurisdiction, as well as the third-party's legal jurisdiction.
This process necessitates performing due diligence before establishing a relationship with a third-party data provider to ensure the data is reliable, and fairly and lawfully collected. Due diligence means that your organization will need to review the privacy policies and collection methods of third parties before accepting personal information from them. If your organization is already a partner to such relationships, then due diligence needs to be performed. Any deficiencies found should be addressed or the relationship may need to be re-evaluated.
With the Access principle, your organization is required to provide individuals with access to their personal information for review and update. One of the access criteria (6.2.3) requires that personal information be provided to the individual in an understandable form, in a reasonable timeframe and at a reasonable cost, if any. If the personal information is stored by a third party, then your organization's responsibility is to facilitate the retrieval of the personal information in a reasonable timeframe.
Good outsourcing practices regarding access should be practiced by your organization and its third parties. The GAPP gives the following examples of good access practices.
Another criteria within Access, 6.2.5, requires that individuals be able to update or correct personal information held by the entity. If practical and economically feasible, your organization should provide such updated or corrected information to third parties that previously were provided with the individual's personal information. In some cases, your organization and an individual may disagree whether the data is correct. In such cases, the next access criteria point, 6.2.6, provides guidance. First, your organization should inform individuals, in writing, about the reason a request for correction of personal information was denied and how they may appeal. Next, your organization should notify third parties (who were previously provided with personal information) that there is a disagreement.
Security for Privacy
The Security for privacy principle requires your organization to protect personal information against unauthorized access (both physical and logical). One of the criteria (8.2.1) requires that a security program has been developed, documented, approved and implemented. This security program includes administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Your organization should ensure that third-party organizations confirm (initially and at least annually) their understanding of, and agreement to, compliance with the entity's privacy policies and procedures related to the security of personal information. This means that their security principles, including user authentication, encryption of data and other areas, are the same caliber or stronger than your organization. GAPP provides many illustrations of good security practices to protect personal information.
In general, the Quality principle requires your organization to maintain accurate, complete and relevant personal information for the purposes identified in the notice. The issue related to outsourcing is covered by 9.2.1 on the accuracy and completeness of personal information obtained from —and used by —third parties. As a result, your organization needs to implement processes to verify the quality of transferred and received personal information.
Specific Third-Party Considerations
While GAPP has many principles and criteria relating to third parties, one of the 10 is devoted to third-party relationships. This principle requires your organization to disclose personal information to third parties only for the purposes identified in the notice, and with the implicit or explicit consent of the individual. The criteria designed for the sole purpose of providing guidance for relationships with third parties are listed below.
Communication to individuals is one of the third-party criteria (7.1.1) requiring that your organization inform individuals that their personal information will be disclosed to third parties only for the purposes identified in the notice. It also requires that the individual has provided implicit or explicit consent for these specific uses of their personal information. Exceptions are allowed where a law or regulation specifically allows or requires otherwise. An important aspect of this communication is the disclosure of any limitations known on the third-party's privacy practices and controls. If your organization does not have any requirements on limitations, then the communication should indicate that the third-party's privacy practices and controls meet or exceed those of the entity.
7.1.2 states that your organization's privacy policies are also communicated to third parties to whom personal information is disclosed. When you supply the third parties with your organization's privacy policies, your organization should obtain a written agreement from the third party that its practices are substantially equivalent to your organizations.
Once your organization has communicated to individuals your policy on sharing personal information with third parties, and has communicated these privacy policies with third parties, then your organization needs to ensure that personal information is disclosed to third parties only for the purposes described in the "Notice" (7.2.1). Your organization should set up processes that formally documents and tracks the nature and extent of personal information disclosed to third parties. Then, periodically, you should test whether disclosure to these third parties is in compliance with your organization's privacy policies and procedures. Also, if any new uses of the personal information are planned by the third parties, then implicit or explicit consent of the individual is required before implementing the new uses (7.2.3). Note that explicit consent is given either orally or in writing, is unequivocal and does not require any inference on the part of the entity seeking consent. Implicit consent may reasonably be inferred from the action or inaction of the individual.
Security of personal information is of significant importance. As such, 7.2.2 specifically requires that personal information is disclosed only to third parties who have agreements with the entity to protect personal information, including protection from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Obtaining evidence that a third party actually protects personal information may be accomplished through assurance services, such as a privacy audit and auditor's report, or other representations made by the third party through contractual obligations or confirmations.
Another best practice falling under this set of criteria is to specify how and when third parties are to dispose of, or return, any personal information provided by your organization. The disposal or return of personal information becomes particularly important at the end of an outsourcing relationship. The terms of how this will occur should be clearly delineated and communicated, and should be specified in writing, preferably in a contractual format.
Finally, your organization needs to stand behind its privacy policies and the practices of third parties by taking remedial action (7.2.4) in response to misuse of personal information by third parties. Specifically, your organization should consider these four practices:
Applying GAPP to your Assessment
It contains guidance that your organization can use to develop good third-party management policies and procedures. As you answer the 10 questions for your organization, these are the specific criteria you should reference.

Jamie Hood, British Museum
As I wasn't at the excavation of the Chiseldon cauldrons it was difficult to imagine that the nine or so blocks of soil sitting in plastic crates and wrapped in plaster bandages really contained Iron Age cauldrons. But a few weeks ago when Alex and I visited the Museum's off-site store, I knelt down and looked at the closest crate and spotted the edges of metal sheet and part of an iron handle sticking out of the soil.
It's at moments like this that you start to think about the step by step process of conserving the object to bring it back to life (and also quickly calculate how many hours it might take… literally hundreds).
But before we could start work we had to move the cauldrons from storage to the Museum itself.
The Museum's off-site store is vast with hundreds of crates and many rows of racking which all hold evidence of Britain's past. While it was easy for us to jump on the tube to get to the store, transporting the cauldrons was a little bit trickier.
We picked two of them – discovered next to each other in the burial pit, and corroded together – and packed them safely in big boxes. It's always nerve-racking transporting fragile objects, so to protect them we surrounded them with rolled-up tissue paper, foam and bubble wrap.
Once safely at the Museum we moved the crates to the metals conservation lab and carefully unpacked the cauldrons.
The first step is to record the soil blocks and fragments of cauldrons by taking pictures, making detailed drawings and examining the surface through a microscope. In preparation for the next stage, when conservation really begins, you can then begin to start removing some of the soil with small hand tools and brushes.

Died While Traveling Overseas - Even Though Used Correct VoltageI only bought this flat iron for traveling overseas since it was labeled dual voltage and expressly said it would work in the country I bought it for. Within a minute of using it while overseas, it died and short-circuited itself, so I DO NOT recommend this to anyone using it in a foreign country. It will waste your money. Just buy a hair straightener while overseas.Nov 10, 2016Sabrina / TexasHAIR TYPEBlack / Oily Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Love It But Only Lasts 1-2 YearsMy first three of these only lasted around a year. The last one I had just broke but it lasted 2 years and 4 months which wasn't too bad. This is the best flat iron I even had. I just wish it lasted longer. I think it needs a swivel cord because after all the abuse it takes, it seems like there's a bad connection after a while and I have to moved the cord around to get it to stay on.Jan 23, 2013Donna / NJ

It Died After 17 Days Of UseI normally use a Solia for my daily hair straightening, which does a fantastic job. However, I needed a flat iron that could handle high overseas voltage, so I bought the Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Straightener, plug type C.
At first I was very pleased. I went with a wider straightener than my usual 1" & the increased size was great for traveling, since it speeded up the straightening process.
I used my new Sedu roughly every other day for a month while in Thailand & it did a fantastic job. Afterwards, I packed it away & didn't use it for year. One year later, I took it with me to Great Britain. The first couple of days it worked wonderfully with a plug adaptor. Britain's voltage is the same as Thailand's so there was no need for a voltage converter/regulator. However, on the 3rd day, it died on me. It simply wouldn't turn on & get hot. Of course all this occurred after the limited warranty expired. I tried it with a converter & adaptor at home & it still didn't work.
Now, it is in a pile of e-waste waiting to be taken to the dump.
To pay $135 for a product that you've only used for 17 days over the course of a year only to have it irreparably break is disappointing to say the least. I felt ripped off.
When you're traveling, you need a product to work reliably & this one didn't. Now I'm in need of a new flat iron for traveling overseas. I don't know that I want to rely on a Sedu again, but the options for overseas use are also severely limited.

Sedu 220I like the product but it's too early to tell as to product longevity. However, am very satisfied for it suits its purpose well. It definitely straightens my hair and with a little freeze control solution, it leaves my hair smooth and straight. But it's such a comfort to be able to use this quality product while travelling outside of the US. The only reason I gave it one rating below best is because I believe the product for the price should come equipped with the required end-plug adapter because without it, the Sedu could not be plugged directly in electrical sockets available in some Asian countries listed with the product description. Including this comment in this review is important to make buyers aware they need to purchase the required end-plug adapter to be able to use it right away when travelling to the listed countries for this product. The promo of a free mini sedu plus 2 year warranty on the product is a great deal that is why I ordered both the 1.5 inch and 1 inch version of the 220 voltage Sedu products. One each for my daughter and I. Thank you Sedu for being a lifesaver.Jan 8, 2010Lisa / Washington DC, USA

Worth The Money!!!Still working great after a year & a half.....At first i was afraid to spend that kind of $ on a straightener, but after using it, i will never go back to using a cheap store brand again!!! I was using a $35 straightener, & it always made my hair smell burned, & the cheapy one burned some of my hair out & made it shorter & it would not grow.....With the sedu, my hair is finally growing again, all my friends & relatives noticed that. I will be buying another sedu shortly, please stay away from the cheap store brands, they will destroy your hair!!!!!Dec 25, 2009Kelly / Garfield Hts. Ohio Usa

I Simply Love This IronI had been using Chi for a year and a half. It started working great, and then It started having all sorts of problems. The light wouldn't turn on, it wouldn't get as hot anymore, and simply did not work as well. So one day I decided to give sedu a shot. my cousin had been using it and she was satisfied. I'd have to say I am beyond IMPRESSED! My hair feels very silky, smooth and easily straightened. I don't know what took me so long to find the magic pill for treating my frizzy, uncontrollable hair. I won't lie. When it's humid out, my hair does get frizzy. But as long as the weather is not crazy, my hair is in very good shape. Did I mention the shine, and smoothness? I'm a happy sedu user. Definitley recommend it to anyone withs tubborn curls/waves/frizzy hair. See for yourself.Oct 26, 2009Sunshinepierra

Nicei brought this straightener 2 years ago and i love it. i know it is kinda expensive but my hair is really thin and frizzy, esp after washing it. so back then i used to straighten it every day because i do it after i wash and blow dry my hair every time. because of that, my hair got heat damaged and ended up i had to cut them all up to my chin length. i was wishing to have my hair down to my shoulder length but then i really love how it makes my hair straight and shiny so i could not stop straightening it every time. but i would not regret buying this product. i think i will cut it off using it every time. may be using it may be once awhile.Great product after all. i would recommend my frds to get itMay 16, 2009Yani / Richmond

This Is A Great ProductI was a little worried about buying a product I knew nothing about, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I bought this product to take with me to Spain, as I was studying abroad for 6 weeks and couldnt stand the thought of having messy hair the entire time. This straightener worked very well, just as well as the very expensive straightener I use in the U.S. I would highly recommend it. Shipping was prompt as well.Dec 16, 2008Lauren Lay / Raleigh, NC

Well well, remember how Zoro ruined the epic battle of Kaku V.S. Jyabura with his useless comments? In this thread, we discuss who would be able to win. CP9 agent Kaku or CP9 agent Jyabura?
Battleground: The Room of the Wolf
Battle condition: No hold bars. Comradeship means nothing. This is a battle till the death. Both opponents acknowledges of their opponent's fighting style.
Some information:
CP9 agent Kaku:
Title: Kaku the Mountain Wind.
Nicknames: Kaku the herbivore or better known as the "weak plant-eater"; "Monkey Boy"; "Usopp's Nose"
2200 Dourikis(Likely far greater in Giraffe form. 2200 Dourikis is roughly equal to the combine physical power of 220 trained HQ ranking marine adult males)
Specialization: Yontou-Ryuu(Four swords style). Rankyaku specialization. Genius at body manipulation
Devil Fruit: Ushi Ushi no Mi Model: Giraffe(Cow Cow Fruit, Model: Giraffe)
Strongest Attack: Rankyaku "Amane Dachi". True power of this technique is unknown. An immature version of it cut the Tower of Justice in half without losing power.
CP9 agent Jyabura:
Title: None. But he got a unique laugh: Gyaaaa ha ha ha ha. That beats title everytime
Nickname: Jyabura the Hunter. The Big Scary Wolf Guy. Robin's bro. Nice Guy
2180 Dourikis(Likely double in carnivorous form)
Specialization:Tekkai Kenpo. Specialization in Tekkai, strongest of all CP9. Can maintain Tekkai while moving. Close combat fighter.
Devil Fruit: Inu Inu no Mi Model: Wolf (Dog Dog Fruit, Model: Wolf)
Strongest Attacks:Roukaru Area Network(Combination of Soru, Tekkai, claws and overwhelming physical power. Look as if 10 Jyaburas are attacking at once.) Rankyaku "Lupus Four"
So that's that, who will prevail in this ultimate battle of greatest rivalry that occurs for no good reason?
For pictures, see my sig.


text: Sup guys I just read a manga today. Finally I really confirmed that Kuma is a good guy you know because he helped the Straw hats to escape and they don't realize it. So My theory about this guy is that um he was programmed to protect the SH pirates no matter what happen. We all know that Dragon is responsible for this including Rayleigh. I think Dragon really want to protect the SH pirates and he sent kuma to be a spy or something? And I think kuma will become their new Nakama.. Okay guys this is not really true this is just a thought.. So if you have any Ideas you can share it.

We're now halfway through the season in the cemeteries of Amara West and we have excavated 10 tombs (four still ongoing) and made a number of exciting new discoveries. One of the more surprising discoveries so far was the tumulus dating to the early-middle Kerma period excavated by Ashild Vagene and Mohammed Saad at the start of the season.
Another major part of this season's works is the pyramid tomb G309, only the third known at Amara West. Though of distinctive Egyptian appearance on the outside, underneath the surface the grave provides a particular mixture of Egyptian and Nubian cultural elements – a characteristic encountered in so many aspects of life at Amara West.
In G309 this is exemplified through a pottery assemblage which features several examples of Egyptian vessel types produced with a technique more typical of local Nubian pottery. At present, Philip Kevin, conservator in the Department of Conservation and Scientific Research at the British Museum, is working to preserve parts of a wooden coffin decorated with painted plaster.
No less interesting is G314, the grave Laurel Engbring has been working on for the past few weeks. Underneath a low burial mound, the grave features a shaft with two small burial chambers. While the western one still awaits investigation the eastern chamber is now almost fully exposed.
Inside we were able to document for the first time an almost complete wooden burial bed. Thanks to Philip, several large side elements could be consolidated and preserved. A female, placed on the bed in a flexed position – characteristic of Nubian funerary traditions – appears to have been covered in a coarse woven textile.
Elsewhere in the cemetery Mohammed Saad, after his exciting discoveries of an almost intact burial container in G317, has moved on to another, slightly different tomb with a nicely carved rock-cut burial chamber. A first glimpse into it leaves us with high expectations: three well-preserved skulls are visible, alongside pottery, all partly covered in sand…

run-around shoes
"I bought 2 pairs of these, the Circa 1950's and the Camo. I kept both because they're cute, cool and almost like not having any shoes on. They remind me of the tennies we wore all summer when I was in grade school.There's no lining or padding, but the insole is leather and comfortable. For the price why not have a couple pairs?The only problem I had is with he Circa 1950's, which for some reason rub my heels. The others don't. But that's pretty easy to correct."
