TEAMS: Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat
Carlos Boozer has been considered a constant disappointment since he signed a massive contract with the Chicago Bulls in the summer of 2010. He has showed flashes of former brilliance, but has been horribly inconsistent and has been given constant scrutiny from Bulls' fans. He was supposed to be the Bulls' long needed go-to player in the post, but he has failed to live up to expectations and was considered a given to be amnestied after the 2013 or 2014 season. However, his inspired and excellent play over the last ten games have given the Bulls exactly what they hoped for when they gave him a 5 year, 80 million dollar contract in 2010 and has earned the right to stay in Chicago for at least another year. The Bulls have struggled all year to score on offense without Derrick Rose and Boozer has finally given them the scoring they gave him so much money to provide. Over the last ten games the Bulls are 7-3 and Boozer has averaged 22.6 points and 11.2 rebounds and along with Luol Deng, ...

Vulnerability Assessment Rating Matrix 2013 Update Frequently Asked Questions Industry Release
1. Why is the Defense Security Service (DSS) updating the Rating Matrix in September 2013?
Feedback from DSS field personnel and industry partners was gathered over the past year to refine a more transparent, consistent, objective process designed to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities while recognizing practices in place that enhance security programs beyond baseline NISPOM requirements.
The update does not drastically change the process - rather this builds upon the original implementation to further add clarity, drive consistency, and encourage more robust security programs. The matrix tool is still numerically based, quantifiable, and accounts for all aspects of a facility's involvement in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP).
2. When is the updated Rating Matrix process going to be implemented?
On 1 September 2013 facilities will have their vulnerability assessments scored using the updated Rating Matrix process.
3. How is DSS ensuring consistent application of the tool throughout the country?
For full transparency and consistency, one guidance document was developed covering the updated process and can be located here. This document clearly lays out vulnerability and enhancement definitions, to include the intent of enhancement categories and examples.
All DSS field offices have been trained on the application and use of the tool. Additionally, DSS will continue to internally share experiences and feedback on the tool in order to validate and assess the effectiveness of the tool. DSS will also continue to reach out to industry through a variety of forums to ensure that cleared contractors understand the process and intent of the tool.
4. How does DSS define "Vulnerabilities"?
If a contractor is not in compliance with the requirements of the NISPOM, DSS will identify the issue as either an "Acute Vulnerability", a "Critical Vulnerability" or a "Vulnerability".
The following further defines each category:
- Acute Vulnerability: Those vulnerabilities that put classified information at imminent risk of loss or compromise, or that have already resulted in the compromise of classified information. Acute vulnerabilities require immediate corrective action.
- Critical Vulnerability: Those instances of NISPOM non-compliance vulnerabilities that are serious, or that may foreseeably place classified information at risk or in danger of loss or compromise.
Once a vulnerability is determined to be Acute or Critical, it shall be further categorized as "Isolated", "Systemic", or "Repeat".
- Isolated - Single occurrence that resulted in or could logically lead to the loss or compromise of classified information.
- Systemic -Deficiency or deficiencies that demonstrate defects in an entire specific subset of the contractor's industrial security program (e.g., security education and awareness, AIS security) or in the contractor's overall industrial security program. A systemic critical vulnerability could be the result of the contractor not having a required or necessary program in place, the result of an existing process not adequately designed to make the program compliant with NISP requirements, or due to a failure of contractor personnel to comply with an existing and adequate contractor policy. These defects in either a subset or the overall program may logically result in either a security violation or administrative inquiry if not properly mitigated.
- Repeat - Is a repeat of a specific occurrence identified during the last DSS security assessment that has not been properly corrected. Note: Although some repeat vulnerabilities may be administrative in nature and not directly place classified information at risk to loss or compromise, it is documented as critical.
Vulnerability: All instances of non-compliance with the NISPOM that are not acute or critical vulnerabilities.
5. Are vulnerabilities which are corrected on the spot counted on the Vulnerability Assessment Rating Matrix tool?
Yes. All vulnerabilities identified by DSS will be documented, counted, and points subtracted on the Rating Matrix form to include those corrected on the spot. It is important in the DSS assessment of contractor NISP programs that the steps taken to correct vulnerabilities and the measures implemented to prevent recurrence of those vulnerabilities are fully documented. Additionally, if the vulnerabilities prove to be repeat' at subsequent DSS assessments, they are categorized as critical and additional point reductions will occur. DSS encourages contractors to correct all vulnerabilities expeditiously. DSS will appropriately note those items as COS in the security assessment report and a written response to DSS on corrective actions will not be required.
6. What is a National Industrial Security Program (NISP) "enhancement"?
An enhancement directly relates to and enhances the protection of classified information beyond baseline NISPOM standards. Point credits are given for these procedures and factored into the overall assigned rating. Items to be documented as "NISP enhancements" must relate directly to the NISP, and do not include other commonplace security measures or best practices. NISP enhancements must be validated during the security assessment as having an effective impact on the overall NISP program in place at the company. This validation is usually accomplished through employee interviews and DSS review of processes/procedures. Credit for NISP enhancements will be granted for activities beyond baseline NISPOM requirements even if required by program/contract.
In order for an enhancement to be granted the facility must meet the baseline NISPOM requirements in that area. An enhancement directly related to a NISPOM requirement cited for a vulnerability may not be granted. In essence, as the core of the DSS vulnerability assessment is to ensure compliance with NISPOM requirements and that foundation must be in place before additional activities would be recognized. If there are other effective enhancement activities in a specific category unrelated to a specific vulnerability in that category the enhancement credit may still be granted. For example, one non-acute, non-critical marking vulnerability may not eliminate opportunity for Category 9 enhancement credit where a facility implements an Information Management System reflecting history of location and disposition for material in the facility for Secret and Confidential material, i.e. 100% inventory and accountability, paralleling requirements for Top Secret.
There are often positive areas or best practices of a security program that DSS identifies as noted improvements, but which are not necessarily related to a company's involvement with the NISP. Often these positive areas, or best practices, are enhanced processes implemented in order to adequately manage a security program due to the size or complexity of a facility. DSS will not be counting these items toward point calculation on the rating matrix worksheet as "NISP enhancements." However, DSS will recognize these improvements, efforts, and other notable best practices during the exit briefing with senior management and the FSO.
7. What are the definitions and intent of each NISP Enhancement Category?
DSS has established 10 NISP Enhancement categories. A breakdown of categories, definitions, and intent are provided below. For more information and examples please review the guidance document here
- Category 1: Company Sponsored Events - In addition to the annual required security refresher briefings, the cleared contractor holds company sponsored events such as security fairs, interactive designated security focused weeks, security lunch events, hosting guest speakers on security related topics, webinars with the security community, etc. Intent of this category is to encourage cleared contractors to actively set time aside highlighting security awareness and education. This should not be a distribution of a paper or email briefing, but rather some type of interactive in person activity.
- Category 2: Internal Educational Brochures/Products - A security education and awareness program that provides enhanced security education courses or products to employees beyond initial and annual refresher training requirements; i.e., CD/DVD, web based interactive tools, newsletters, security games/contests, international security alert system, etc. Intent of this category is to encourage cleared contractors to generate and distribute relevant security materials to employees who then incorporate the content into their activities.
- Category 3: Security Staff Professionalization - Security staff training exceeds NISPOM and DSS requirements and incorporates that knowledge into NISP administration. Intent of this category is to encourage security programs key personnel to actively strive to learn more and further their professional security expertise beyond mandatory requirements.
- Category 4: Information & Product Sharing within Security Community - Facility Security Officer (FSO) provides peer training support within the security community and/or shares security products/services with other cleared contractors outside their corporate family. Intent of this category is to encourage cleared contractors to actively reach out to other cleared contractors to assist those who may not have the expertise or budget and provide them with security products, services, etc.
- Category 5: Active Membership in Security Community - Security personnel are members and actively participate with NISP/security-related professional organizations. Intent of this category is to encourage security programs to actively collaborate with their local security community to identify best practices to implement within their own NISP security programs.
- Category 6: Contractor Self-Review - Contractors sustain a thorough, impactful review of their security posture. Intent of this category is to encourage cleared contractors to maintain an effective, on-going self-review program to analyze and identify any threats or vulnerabilities within their program and coordinate with DSS to address those issues prior to the annual assessment.
- Category 7: Counterintelligence Integration - Contractors build a counterintelligence (CI) focused culture by implementing processes within their security program to detect, deter, and expeditiously report suspicious activities to DSS through submission of suspicious contact reports (SCR). Intent of this category is to encourage cleared contractors to develop vigorous and effective CI programs that thwart foreign attempts to acquire classified and sensitive technologies. Critical elements of a vigorous and effective CI program include timely reporting, understanding the threat environment, and agile and authoritative decision making to neutralize or mitigate vulnerabilities and threats.
Evidence of a vigorous and effective CI program is reporting to DSS resulting in the:
- Identification of actionable information leading to the initiation of investigations or activities by Other Government Agencies (OGA), or
- Implementation of measures to identify and prevent reoccurrence of reported suspicious activities, or
- Demonstration of immediate response to a suspicious or illegal act to neutralize or mitigate risks to targeted technologies and facilities.
- Category 8: FOCI / International - Cleared contractor implements additional effective procedures to mitigate risk to export controlled items and/or FOCI. Intent of this category is to encourage cleared contractors to implement an enhanced export control program increasing the effectiveness. For FOCI mitigated facilities, intent is to encourage activities above mitigation instrument requirements to further minimize foreign influence at the facility.
- Category 9: Classified Material Controls/Physical Security - Facility has deployed an enhanced process for managing classified information and/or has implemented additional Physical Security measures, with built-in features to identify anomalies. Intent of this category is to encourage security programs to maximize the protection and accountability of classified material on-site by implementing effective processes, regardless of quantity of classified holdings.
- Category 10: Information Systems - Incorporating process enhancements and leveraging tools to expand the overall security posture of accredited information systems. Intent of this category is to encourage security programs to maximize protection of classified information on IS.
8. Why were NISP enhancements further broken down by Category?
NISP enhancements were broken down into Categories, based on practical areas, to simplify and enable consistency of application of this tool by DSS personnel. The result is to give credit to the true impact of the security enhancements, rather than to attempt to consistently break-down each individual isolated event. The intent is for a company to receive full credit for a NISP Enhancement (15 or 17 points depending on facility complexity) if a facility completes any action/item in a given category. The facility will only receive a total of 15 or 17 points per category, regardless of how many NISP enhancements they have in a given category.
9. Will DSS provide a copy of the Vulnerability Assessment Rating Matrix worksheet and scoring at the completion of the assessment?
Yes. DSS will release the populated worksheet attached to the assessment results letter given to the FSO. Full transparency on how DSS arrived at a rating, (e.g. break-down in vulnerabilities and positive NISP enhancements identified) will be provided. The assessment rating of record will be discussed with the FSO and senior management official during the exit briefing. The exit briefing discussion will focus on identifying the security vulnerabilities and required corrective actions, NISP enhancements, and on providing suggested improvements where possible.
10. Will DSS provide a listing of what is considered a NISP Enhancement?
A list of examples is shown here. Note, this list is not all-inclusive. Please review the enhancement definitions and intent to evaluate if an activity might fall under a certain enhancement category and discuss with your Industrial Security Representative. DSS will periodically provide cleared industry notices with identified trends analysis of both NISP enhancements and security vulnerabilities.
11. Are there any variables that would impact the final assessment rating outside of the assessment rating calculation worksheet?
Yes. There are a number of items to be considered as "red flags" which, if identified, may have a significant impact on the final rating and possibly the status of the facility clearance. Therefore if such vulnerabilities are identified, the rating matrix score may not be applicable. The assigned Industrial Security Representative (ISR) will review with his or her DSS supervisor the final rating of record to be issued, before it is issued to the cleared company "Red flag" items include, but are not limited to, unreported/unmitigated FOCI, appointment of a senior management official without required eligibility for access to classified information, deliberate disregard for security requirements, acute and critical systemic vulnerabilities that lead to the potential or actual loss or compromise of classified information and any additional items that may result in the invalidation of the FCL.
12. What does category level on the rating calculation worksheet mean?
In the updated 2013 Vulnerability Assessment Rating Matrix process there are three scoring groups for facilities. These categories are computed based on the complexity and scope of a facilitys security program and level of involvement in the NISP. Facilities which possess classified material on-site are ranked from category "AA" (the largest and most complex industrial facilities) and descend by size/complexity through categories "A," "B," and "C" to category "D" (the lowest category ranking for a facility which possesses classified material on-site.) Facilities which do not possess classified material are category "E." For the purposes of Rating Matrix scoring, in the most straightforward terms, the first group (AA-B) can be thought of as large possessors, the second group (C-D) are smaller possessors, and the last group (E) are non-possessors. A facility category level will be indicated on the rating calculation worksheet provided with assessment results letter.
13. If vulnerabilities are identified at my company during a security assessment, what is the next step?
DSS will request that the company provide a written response outlining procedures or policies put in place to correct any identified vulnerabilities. If an acute or critical vulnerability is identified, immediate corrective actions must be taken. DSS may also schedule a follow-up visit to the company to validate the effectiveness of the corrective actions taken.

Fate is a cruel, cruel mistress. We see this in sports all the time. Don't take my word for it. Just ask Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban.
Unless you've been living underneath a rock or you spent over 50 percent of Thanksgiving weekend traveling, odds are that you've seen the highlights from the 2013 Iron Bowl. You know about the 99-yard Alabama touchdown pass, the special teams woes suffered by the Crimson Tide, and the improbable return of a botched field goal attempt that propelled Auburn to a shocking home victory that has changed the BCS title race.
Those plays are, of course, spectacular on their own, highlight reel moments that will live on as long as Auburn and Alabama face off every fall. Even more incredible is the chain of events that resulted in what is, to date, the play of the year. Just how close were we all to being robbed of that historic 109-yard touchdown?
Examine, for starters, the T.J. Yeldon run in the waning seconds of the game. Had Yeldon taken one extra step up-field rather than toward the sideline, or had he slowed down just one second too early, the score would have been 28-28 at the end of regulation. No field goal would have been kicked.
Then there's Saban, who actively campaigned to have that play reviewed in order to determine if one second should be put back on the clock before the end of the fourth quarter. Odds are that the officials probably would have looked back at that play regardless of Saban's wishes, but it is something to ponder two days after the fact.
The story, as it pertains to Saban, hardly ends there. The championship coach had a choice to make with his team 39 yards from the end zone; either put faith into a kicking game that had struggled throughout the afternoon and early evening hours, or put the football into the hands of Heisman candidate quarterback A.J. McCarron.
McCarron was the safe option. Auburn would likely have sent no greater than a three-man pass rush, meaning that McCarron's Hail Mary attempt would have, at worst, either been knocked harmlessly to the turf or caught inside the end zone for a no harm, no foul touchback. Logic, not to mention the benefit of hindsight, suggests that a McCarron down-field heave made the most sense.
Saban didn't agree. He elected to kick for the win.
The field goal booted by Alabama's Adam Griffith is the final piece of the puzzle. Griffith easily could have wildly hooked the ball while trying to put as much leg as possible into the kick, an event that would have seen his attempt fly away from Auburn's Chris Davis. There's also the fact that the ball was but a yard of leg or wind strength away from sailing over the head of Davis but underneath the crossbar and out of play.
None of that, however, happened.
Maybe Auburn really is, as Davis suggested after another thrilling victory, a "team of destiny." The "Immaculate Deflection" win over Georgia was one thing, a crazy stroke of luck that made for a touchdown for the ages. Those types of plays, while rare, happen nearly every season.
That's not what occurred at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday. Several things had to go right in order for the previously mentioned Davis to find himself with possession of the football deep in his own end zone with "00:00" on the clock. All of them did. Team of Destiny?
We don't know, but it'd sure be a lot of fun to find out.

The Radziner-Cottle home in Venice California was recently featured in The New York Times Magazine and we found it very inspirational. Though the house is large, the abundance of large windows and similar finishes unite the space and achieve a cohesive, warm presence. Walnut is used for the cabinets and ceiling of the sunken kitchen (above) and also as the built-in storage in the children's rooms...
Ron Radziner is an architect and partner in the firm, Marmol Radziner & Associates. Many of the cabinets, metalwork and furniture were fabricated by the firm. His wife, Robin Cottle is a graphic designer. For the complete story: Better Home and Garden and all the photos in the slideshow, see The New York Times Magazine.

Wow. Unbelievable.
Love those ottomans! Where can I find something similar?
One day!
it's annoying that I live 10 min from this place!
Absolutely love your home. Can you tell me the brand name of the paint and the color used in your living room area (the yellow).
Oh boy! I'm going to be a copy cat! I have the perfect home in the desert (Palm Desert, CA) for this fireplace set up. Right now we have a mantel just glued on to the wall (builder series- ugh!). It has an ugly tile wrapped around a black hole - so this is so inspiring to me. I can't wait to tear the tile down. I plan on painting the remaining walls in a light gray.
Thanks for the inspiration! I'll have to do a before and after.
Going against the prevailing winds here, but i'm not really digging the design. The architectural space is great (walls of glass, sense of space and light are excellent), but the interior design is a bit too austere and melancholic. Just as a viewer it leaves me a bit cold. I really thought this type of stark modernism had been declared passé.
Walnut black sunlight = niiiiice
A modern house with two wings and a pool in the middle represents my ultimate dream. The sunken kitchen is amazing.
100% agree with companyjones.
how do they ever feel happy around all of that black? perhaps the Addams Family got an interior design upgrade?

In front of a crowd of nearly 2,000 supporters, former President Bill Clinton took the stage at Owens Community College in Perrysburg Township, stumping for President Barack Obama.
Mr. Clinton touted the President's policies say they helped pull the nation out of the economic slump.
"We're coming back. We're not where we want to be. We have to build a modern 21st century economy, we got to restore the middle class, create jobs, raise incomes and help people work their way into the middle class," he said.
Another sticking point was the auto industry bailout. Clinton attacked Romney's recent ad about Jeep moving jobs to China and claimed to REpublican candidate didn't want to help the car companies.
"Mr. Romney has been in Ohio and tied himself in knots, he was against it," Clinton said.
BUt he says revolutionizing the student loan program was one of the most important moves the President and Congress made.
"Allowing Obama to reduce the interest rates allows me to further my education," BGSU Senior Courtney Bell said. "I really want to go to law school and that's really going to help me get there."
Now with less than a week left until the election, the goal is to get voters to the polls.
"These last four days are really the go get them," BGSU Sophomore and volunteer, Emily Garcia said. "To go out and vote is just so important and I'm feeling pretty good."


text: In 1940, he made the first of several appearances with his golfing buddy Bob Hope, ultimately resulting in seven "Road" pictures which, thanks to the stars' laid-back improvisational style, seem as fresh today as they did at the time. Another milestone occurred in 1944, when director Leo McCarey asked Crosby to play a priest in an upcoming film. Crosby, a devout Catholic, at first refused on the grounds that it would be in bad taste. But McCarey persisted, and Crosby ended up winning an Oscar for his performance in Going My Way (1944). He ushered in a new technological era a few years later when he signed a contract to appear on a weekly ABC variety show provided that it not be live, but tape recorded -- a first for network radio -- so that Crosby could spend more time on the golf course. With the death of his wife Dixie in 1952, the devastated entertainer dropped out of the movie business for a full year; but his life took an upswing when he married young actress Kathryn Grant in 1957. His film roles were few in the '60s, but Crosby was a television fixture during those years, and could be counted on each Yuletide to appear on just about everyone's program singing his signature holiday tune, "White Christmas." Burdened by life-threatening illnesses in the mid-'70s, the singer nonetheless embarked on concert tours throughout the world, surviving even a dangerous fall into an orchestra pit. Crosby died from a heart attack in 1977, shortly after he had finished the 18th hole on a Spanish golf course. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Property Virgin
THE FLOATING ROOM: I find this room magnificently unsettling, even though everything in it, independently, is gorgeous. Why does it irk me so? No significant "center" to the space, its intensely horizontal and this is emphasized by striped walls which pull your eye sideways….but then the glamorous C. Jere metal disk sculptures leap off the very flat wall somewhat aggressively…and then I feel that floaty, unsettling feeling.
I wish I had this…
LOVE the bed spread, side table, and lamp.

Resisting Aggression with Defense (Self-Defense Training for Men)
No course scheduled at this time.
(This is a 12-hour class over a 4-night period)
Resisting Aggression is a choice. You are responsible for how you respond to any event in your life. Your decisions contribute to your past, present and future. Only you can make the choice to transform your life by committing to resist aggression. By investing your time and effort into this program, you will be presented with educational options to resist aggression. You will be asked to raise your awareness of aggressive behavior, to recognize how aggressive behavior impacts your life, to take steps to avoid aggressive behavior, and to look at how you can be part of reducing aggression and violence. Unfortunately, in a small number of incidents, physical confrontations may be unavoidable. Our program also provides participants with realistic strategies for men forced into physical confrontation. Resisting Aggression with Defense is designed to empower men to make different decisions when confronted with aggressive behavior. This is the first step towards reducing aggression and violence for ourselves and the one's we love. All courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors.
The goal of R.A.D. is to provide realistic self-defense options to men, regardless of their level of physical conditioning. Students at all levels of ability, age, experience, and strength will be provided with techniques and information that can be effectively used from the first day of class. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program, nor does it require students to be athletes in training to succeed.
The R.A.D. system will provide students with the knowledge to make an educated decision about personal defense. We provide information on physical and non-physical options, as well as insight into the attacker mind-set.
Every student receives a manual for reference and practice. Once a student has completed a R.A.D. program, their signed manual becomes a ticket for free lifetime return and practice with any R.A.D. instructor in the US and Canada.
The widespread acceptance of the R.A.D. system is due to the ease, simplicity, and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, legal defensibility, and unique teaching methodology. R.A.D. is the only self-defense program endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA).
Resisting Aggression with Defense Class Registration Form
Once the class is scheduled you will receive an e-mail providing you with the location and other instructions. Class space is limited but is open to students, staff, and faculty at no cost.

Enjoying a career at the highest international level, Patricia Schuman began her career specializing in the Mozartean repertoire, singing Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni and Contessa Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro at the Metropolitan Opera with James Levine conducting; Ilia in Idomeneo at La Scala with Riccardo Muti; and Ilia and Pamina at Vienna State Opera, under the baton of Nikolaus Harnencourt. She made her debut at the Salzburg Festival as Vitellia in La Clemenza di Tito, to much critical and popular acclaim. Since then, she has repeated the role at Covent Garden, Glyndebourne, Madrid, and Lyon.
In a continually expanding repertoire, Miss Schuman debuted the role of Alice Ford in Verdi's Falstaff at the Covent Garden with Bernard Haitink conducting; Rezia in Weber's Oberon with Marc Minkowski at the Flemish Opera; the title role in Schumann's Genoveva with the Ediburgh Festival and Opera North; Blanche in Poulenc's Les Dialogues des Carmélites with Rome Opera and Seattle Opera; Madeleine in Strauss' Capriccio in Toulouse and the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier at the Pittsburgh Opera. She has sung the Puccini roles Liù in Turandot and Mimi in La Bohème in Zurich; the title role in Handel's Agrippina in Cologne, the title role in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea in Cologne and Bologna; and the role of The Commander in the world premiere of Philip Glass' The Voyage at the Metropolitan Opera.
Recently, Schuman made her role debut as The Duchess in Thomas Ades' Powder her Face with the Opera Company of Philadelphia to great critical acclaim. Preceding that, she appeared at the Glimmerglass Festival in a double bill as Estelle Oglethorpe in John Musto's Later the same evening, and as Carlotta O'Neill in a world premiere of A Blizzard at Marblehead Neck by Jeanine Tesori with libretto by Tony Kushner.
Miss Schuman made her debut with the Houston Grand Opera in the title role of Florencia en el Amazonas by Daniel Catàn, which she recorded for Albany Records. She has also recorded the soprano solo in Handel's Messiah (Koch) and the Bertoni mass, Veni Creator, (Erato) under the baton of Claudio Scimone, and Ruggiero in Rossini's Tancredi with Marilyn Horne (Sony). She can be seen on video as Poppea (L'incoronazione di Poppea), Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni) from the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, and Countess Almaviva (Le nozze di Figaro) from Madrid Opera.
In the last few years, Miss Schuman has concentrated on recital and chamber music. In January of 2013, she appeared with husband, David Pittsinger, in recital at the Essex Winter Series, with Mihae Lee at the piano, and William Purvis on French horn. Following that, she premiered a new oratorio, Letter from Italy, by composer Sarah Meneely-Kyder and Connecticut poet Nancy Meneely, led by Joseph d'Eugenio and the Greater Middletown Chorale.
On August 5th, Miss Schuman and pianist, Terry Eder, performed an original show at the Pavilion concert at the Glimmerglass Festival as part of the American Romantics series, entitled Easily Assimilated. On April 20, 2014, she will appear at the Music & More series in Chester, CT, with husband David Pittsinger in another cabaret style performance, Opera is a Dangerous Business. The second week of April, Schuman will return to the Hartford Symphony in a series of performances of Mozart's Requiem. On May 4, she will sing Mozart's Vesperae di Dominica with the Con Brio Chorale, led by Stephen Bruce. This summer, Miss Schuman will sing the role of Elvira Griffiths in Tobias Picker's opera An American Tragedy, at the Glimmerglass Festival.

We have given your review careful consideration. We work hard to ensure all our clients have a positive experience with us. Regretfully you have completely misinterpreted our efforts. We categorically deny the conclusions you have stated in your misleading review.
Seeking new clients at shopping malls is but one part of our business. Repeat sales from our existing, happy and satisfied clients is important to us. We strive to ensure complete customer satisfaction to the best of our ability.
We are present at many malls throughout the region because this is where people go when they want to buy goods and services.
All our customers, including your mother, approach us about their furniture. We do not pursue them. We discuss their wants and needs extensively specifically to determine if we can be of service to them. Only then do we offer to have an estimator visit the customer, and only then if the customer invites us.
We do not discriminate against anyone for any reason. Senior citizens have every right to request an estimate from our firm and have every right to accept or reject our proposal.
We do not mislead nor take advantage of anyone. We strive to be completely fair, honest and open with all customers at every stage of their relationship with us:
*Our furniture evaluations, proposals and contracts are only provided upon customer request.
They are clear and provide an in-depth, detailed account of all services and goods we provide.
*We strongly encourage all customers to have all interested individuals present during our evaluation and proposal, including spouses, parents or adult children.
*Our contracts clearly provide customers with information about their considerable rights to cancel any agreement with us under The Consumer Protection Act.
Furniture restoration can sometimes be a complex and extensive undertaking if the items are badly worn and/or damaged. We have no control over the condition of the items; we can only propose a repair solution and price it accordingly. It is entirely up to the customer to accept or reject the proposal based on their own wants and needs.
Finally, we hold all our employees and representatives to the highest ethical standards and to be responsive to the wants and needs of our customers. We strive to treat all customers with a helpful, fair and positive attitude. We specifically invite all our customers to comment on the usefulness and professionalism of our estimators. We take any customer issues seriously to resolve all genuine problems. We work hard to continuously improve our firm in all its practices for the benefit of the customer.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman John Mica has been to several major cities across the country regarding the reauthorization of the Federal Highway Bill. Thursday, a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Listening Session was held in Jonesboro.
"I think it's good to hear from smaller communities," says House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman John Mica. He says in the process to reauthorize the Federal Highway Bill, it is important to understand the needs of those the bill directly impacts. Mica adds the best ideas do not always come from Washington.
"We want good positive suggestions, and how some of these federal programs that don't work, how can we make the work? We have the opportunity to do the right thing, and that's why I'm here with Rick Crawford to see what the people want," says Mica.
The listening session brought together elected officials, economic developers, and contractors from all across Northeast Arkansas. "They will be asking questions, giving their input, giving their suggestions to the Leadership and Transportation Committee," says Arkansas Congressman Rick Crawford.
Jonesboro Mayor Harold Perrin says since Jonesboro is a smaller community, the session will provide a different perspective than some of the larger cities visited.
"Economic development is our main thrust here in Jonesboro, and transportation plays that vital part in that. We obviously need more infrastructures in our deal here. So that's what we want to talk about," says Mayor Perrin.
"When this week is all done, they will have pretty much crossed the whole country and gathered information that will help serve them in developing the Highway Bill," says Crawford.
The last House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Listening Session will take place February 25th in Millington, Tennessee.

I agree! Auction addons keep prices fair and let the little guy make more gold. You can go in, post an auction at a slight undercut or a price that i think is fair, in less than an hour usually most stuff sells. I walk away with my gold and the buyer gets a decent price. Also if i am shopping i can find the lowest price quickly and go back to grinding and raids, which is what i play and pay for in the first place. And the more things up for bid, the lower the price gets. So quit yer ******** and get Auctioneer or Auctionator!

If the engine or gearing don't sell you, then the Jetta's overall demeanor at speed should. On the freeway or expressway it is as solid, comfortable and quiet as any European touring sedan. A hundred miles an hour feels more like 50 or 60. And it's comfortable, particularly over long distances. The seats are supportive, wind and road noise are non-issues, and the stereo sounds great. The car's interior really leaves nothing wanting. Need more luxury? You'll have to upgrade to a bigger car, a Passat, or maybe a Phaeton. The new Jetta is easily the most refined and luxurious car in the sub-compact segment, all makes inclusive. This is where the price premium over competing domestic and Asian vehicles seems wholly justified.
If we had one complaint it would concern the suspension-and that complaint has cropped up before in previous generation Volkswagens. Much of the car's inherent ride comfort is derived from a soft suspension tune, and it is comfortable, but it takes a little away from the 2.0T's irrepressible sporting character. Quick turns or lane changes will yield distinct body roll. One driver described the feeling as "wobbly." Similarly, dipping deep into throttle on standing starts will produce pronounced squat, lifting the front end and causing your tires to shriek all the way down the street-at least until you shift into second gear and redistribute the weight. More aggressive dampers could remedy the problem but would also affect the car's exemplary ride comfort.
Naturally, our Jetta 2.0T came to us tricked out with a few well-placed bits from VW's own accessories line. It has snarky 17-inch Vision V wheels and Continental ContiProContact rubber, as well as an enhanced styling package which adds front and rear bumper lips and rocker panel treatments, along with a low-profile wing for the trunk lid. All of these pieces are tastefully restrained, yet effective in giving the relatively staid-looking Jetta a distinct visual edginess. And because light colors tend to make the Mk V look a bit "hunched over," we ordered ours in black. So equipped, with an anthracite leather interior, it's very, very handsome. A darker color like black may be harder to take care of than silver or white, but it really seems to more effectively even out the car's proportions. The effect is subtle, but worth mentioning.
Suffice to say we're looking forward to the next eleven months with this car. The Mk V Jetta is a luxury car for the masses. Add the 2.0T and six-speed tranny, and it's a luxury sport sedan for the masses. Does that justify the extra couple grand over a Toyota, Ford or GM product? We'd say yes, unequivocally. But then again we're a bit biased, and ultimately it's you who must make the decision.

THIS is the actual statement one of those sheriffs who was grossly misrepresented in Glorias slanderous little "article" actually made.
That is what it means to serve, Lillie. To put the laws of the US Government before your own agenda. To follow your oath. To man up and respect and honor the oath that you made, even if it may rub against your personal agenda or desire concerning an issue, and to do it with INTEGRITY.
This is what our gun loving Sheriff's should be doing. Not writing bratty and traitorous letters to the press for some foot stomping childish attention. I hope any who do are fired and charged with impeding justice if they do in fact fail to carry out the law.
If you think I'm alone, then you are talking the crazy talk. Military members are much much more protective of their gun rights than anyone else I know (from personal experience) including people who hunt and those who live in bad neighborhoods. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to interpret the second amendment. It's pretty ****ing clear. The Constitution comes before any of the others in our oath.
Is it?It's pretty ****ing clear.
Maybe you should stop cursing at me because you sound really trashy. I won't debate anymore with you. This is the second time you have used the F word towards me and I find your language unacceptable. This is a fun debate board, and either you take it too seriously, or you just have no idea how normal adults speak to one another. Over and out, Lillie. If CNS news is mainstream to you you are more "right" than I thought. Maybe instead of telling me what to do YOU should focus, that is the same exact article Gloria posted two pages back. I read it, did you?
Missy, I am sick of you letting her treat people like this on this board. I let it go the first time but I have no idea who would want to subject themselves to her continued foul language and hatefulness.
Anyway. I'm off to enjoy a great workout. Missy, I trust that this sort of language is unacceptable on a fun debate board. I know I'm not the only one uncomfortable being cursed at with the F word. This is not the first time, and I hope you will handle it. Its ridiculous.

If I sell my car to a private individual, I would have to check to see if they had a valid license in order for them to drive my car. While I am still the RO I have to carry insurance on it which wouldn't necessarily cover an unlicensed driver.
I agree that nobody should cussing at anyone else on the debate board. I'll let Missy answer for herself, but my vote is that if you are directing your cussing AT someone, that goes beyond a little bit of colorful debate.
-Alissa, mom to Tristan (5) and Reid (the baby!)
Got an opinion? We've got a board! Come join us for some lively debate on the Face Off! Debate Arena board.
To get back to the debate, Lillie, I have 2 responses.
First of all, I'm not sure what would be unconstitutional about background checks and registration for guns. You'll need to explain how the Second Amendment prohibits that, because I don't see anything about that in the text. If your argument is that literally everyone is guaranteed the right to own a gun, do you support known criminals being able to buy guns openly and legally? Children? I mean, I think that most people agree that *some* limits are sensible, but the Second Amendment doesn't really go into that. So if you could please explain exactly what you mean about the "unconstitutionality" of it, I would like to hear more.
The second point is that I agree that it is not up to individual police forces to interpret the "constitutionality" of given laws. There is nothing in the Constitution that expressly talks about, for example, child pornography. I would not support police officers taking it upon themselves to decide that laws against child porn violate the First Amendment (freedom of expression) and that they simply won't be enforced. If such a thing were to happen, even if those police officers' direct bosses also took such a view, I would hope that the people higher up in the force would show better sense and remove them.

Got an opinion? We've got a board! Come join us for some lively debate on the Face Off! Debate Arena board.
No, I was talking about what most of the Sheriff's letters were about. Taking guns away from people. I don't have a problem with background checks or registering new gun purchases.
My integrity is more important than my job. If someone told me to take away someone's rights just because someone above told them to, then I'd lose my job (and in my case go to jail). But that's only if they have enough military to actually do anything. If someone decides the military is the way to get assault rifles away from citizens, then they need to plan to enlist/commission a *lot* of liberals because I can almost guarantee there won't be enough of the current military left to guard the ones locked up let alone actually finish the job. That goes for cops too, I'm guessing. I'm not taking a gun away from anyone unless they've got it pointed at someone.
Please -- if any of you have a complaint that you wish me to look into please contact me privately via pm or email along with a link. I know you all have my contact information... or request your host to do so if you prefer. As much as I love this board, unfortunately I am unable to read every post / thread.
To be clear and as a reminder to all -- it *is* unacceptable to use vulgar / profane language within the debates per our community guidelines. It doesn't matter if it is **** out as it is just as clear the intent.
It is also unacceptable to be mocking/bashing/demeaning to one another.
Here again are the areas of our Community Guidelines that apply for your reference:
We don't want to restrict your right to display personal views, ideology, etc. but request that you continue to remain respectful of others. Please refrain from including profanity, violence, obscenity, lewd, or sexually explicit content within your posts in deference to (or as a courtesy to) your fellow members and their families. Do understand that these restrictions apply to all areas of our site and all content posted (including user names, comments, reviews, etc.)As I shared, I really love reading the debates and wish that I could participate more often. I appreciate hearing from *both* sides of a topic, even if I may disagree. This would be a completely boring place if all of you shared the same points of view. I find this board a space that both challenges me to consider my positions on various issues as well as provides me with food for thought. I know that EVERYONE here is capable of presenting their thoughts while refraining from violating the terms outlined. Please keep those in mind or take a break if needed until you can.While you are welcome to express your belief/point of view, understand that you're expected to be able to do so without mocking, bashing, or demeaning someone's views or beliefs. It's an issue of respect for all your fellow Pregnancy.org members and non-members alike that are subjected to reading.
If anyone wishes to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me directly via private message or email (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Use drones to track tornados
Tracking tornados with vehicles to get important data is not safe or efficient we should use drone technology instead. We should have several drone staging areas where tornados are most active and dangerous. When the conditions are right a drone can be dispatched to the area collecting vital information and transmitting radio signal to the inhabitants to keep them informed.

Jan. 11 (Bloomberg) -- The head of the Swiss central bank's supervisory body resisted calls to step down amid allegations the council failed to adequately oversee trades by members of the governing board.
"I am used to weathering stiff headwinds," Hansueli Raggenbass, head of the Swiss National Bank's council, told state broadcaster SF yesterday. "I will remain president of the Bank Council as long as the Swiss National Bank needs me."
Pressure on the Bank Council has been mounting after a currency purchase of $504,000 by Philipp Hildebrand's wife in August forced the SNB head to resign on Jan. 9. While the 48- year old former hedge fund manager said he was unaware of the transaction and an internal probe last year cleared him of any wrongdoing, e-mail documents disclosed this week showed that he had discussed buying dollars with his wife.
The failure of the council to regulate transactions by SNB board members and their families shows that it "isn't up to its task," Peter V. Kunz, head of the business law department at the University of Bern, said on Jan. 9. "Almost every company in Switzerland seems to be better regulated than the SNB."
The Zurich-based SNB has already pledged to toughen its internal rules and will look into transactions by the remaining two board members, Thomas Jordan and Jean-Pierre Danthine and their deputies. It was the Bank Council that had forced Hildebrand to resign, Blick newspaper reported yesterday.
Some lawmakers are saying the bank's 11-member supervisory body acted too slowly following allegations.
"I have serious doubts about whether the council can keep operating with its current head," Christian Levrat, head of the Swiss Social Democratic Party, told SF broadcaster yesterday. "In the Hildebrand case, the council should have acted much faster and more energetically."

I just added 2 new bands to the bands to check out list under the MissMerch page (find the tab to it under my bio) go check them out! Radio Drive By FB—> http://facebook.com/radiodriveby and Crash Coordinates FB—> http://www.facebook.com/ccband
The Band Inner City Elegance is releasing their video for "Swearing Like a Sailor" On Nov 13th! Head on over to their FaceBook Event for all the details on this vid! :) —> http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=214817775253988 Also check them out on Itunes! —>http://www.iTunes.com/InnerCityElegance
So with the new Itunes you can now go on the other computers in your house via wifi and share music between them but the only catch is to access one computer's library with another they both must have itunes open. Now my dad is a music hoarder, weather he likes our music or not he steals if off our computers when we are on Itunes. He also monitors what I download that way like a good little (annoying) parent. So occasionally I notice him in Itunes on his computer just waiting I guess to see if any of us get on so I'll go and turn mine on for a minuet but the second he loads my library I exit out of the page thus shutting my itunes down on him, and just this simple act repeated many times over the course of one night and REALLY piss him off lol. Its cruel but hey sometimes nothing is good on TV and you need entertainment! XD I do despise this new sharing capability for the fact that I download music I "Technically" shouldn't be listening to (Being music they don't approve of) So now its never safe to get on itunes anymore, which totally sucks!
Attack Attack has finished their new album "This Means War"
To learn more, go HERE
This was the best hug I've had in my life so far! it was with CC (Christan Coma) of the black veil brides at the Orlando FL AP tour stop. I love this picture because its what I describe as a cuddle hug lol we were face buried in shoulder hugging so that's what I describe as a cuddle hug XD
I've been to 3 different Black Veil Brides concerts in my life. And at the AP Orlando FL show I got kicked in the shoulder by a crowd surfer and still to this day my right collar bone sticks out farther then my left. Also some people are stupid and think you are pushing up against them on purpose and they will turn around and start cursing you out (This is the time when Ninja Friends are most helpful) So let this be a lesson for you kids, always go to a concert ready to kick ass and watch the seas.

Yeah, alright, so the sickness is still hanging in the air like a fart that won't clear! Argh! It stinks!
But anyway, I couldn't find a walk-in clinic, or atleast, I didn't want to leave my house to be assaulted by allergies, but my good buddy Jon had some anti-biotics left over from when he was sick with pretty much the same condition, so I'm hoping that helps out.
Thanks Jon! And thanks for nothing, Empire Plan!!

After more than 17-years of service, Valdosta Police Chief Frank Simmons is retiring.
Under his leadership, the Valdosta and Lowndes County Crime Lab was created. The department also earned national accreditation for the first time in 1999.
Simmons will retire after 41-years in public safety and looks forward to spending more time with his wife.
"She has been fantastic in her role as a wife, supporting me in this job all these years, I told some friends this morning, it's Frank and Kathy time," said Chief Simmons.
Simmons will work through the end of the year.
