About Brad Paisley
A native of West Virginia, country artist Brad Paisley got his first guitar at the very young age of 8. Two years later, a church performance would mark his public debut. The rest, of course, is history ... and it's still being made.
By the time he was 12, Paisley was writing songs and playing in the C-Notes, a band formed by his guitar teacher and some of the older musician's friends. A Rotary Club gig led to an invitation to perform on WWVA's Jamboree USA, a popular Saturday night television show in Wheeling, West Virginia. So enthusiastic was the response, the show invited Paisley to sign on as a regular. The Jamboree gig had him opening shows for country giants like Roy Clark and the Judds.
When he was ready for college, Paisley moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University and landed an internship at ASCAP on the side. Through the people he met at ASCAP, the young songwriter was able to secure a contract with EMI publishing.
Soon enough, Arista Records also snatched him up and issued his debut in 1999 with Who Needs Pictures. The album spawned two number one singles -- "He Didn't Have to Be" and "We Danced."
Paisley followed that up by recording a duet with Chely Wright on "Hard to Be a Husband, Hard to Be a Wife." The track was included on the Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry compilation and became the first of several collaborations between the two.... Read more

My friend suggested I try another tickets site for concert tickets called ClickitTicket and I had a really good experience with them... Afterwards, I looked up the same section on a couple of other ticket sites just to see if I got a decent deal or not, and the ones I got were significantly cheaper.
I tried this place out a little while ago (I am a concert junkie!!) and I remember that when I called, they had a nice customer service guy. Don't remember his name. He helped me with the seating charts and answered a bunch of questions, was an all around sweet person. And the concert we went to was pretty sweet too!
Got Great Kendrick Lamar Tickets Good Price. I got sweet seats to Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott for their show at the Wells Fargo Center from these guys and it went smooth. I used them because they had the best price period.

Sept. 11, 2017
By Joanne Norell
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame fencing program will boast six captains for the 2017-18 season Thursday, as head coach Gia Kvarataskhelia appointed three women and three men to lead the reigning national championship squad.
Senior sabreuse and two-time NCAA champion Francesca Russo, senior epeeist Marie-Anne Roche and junior foilist Sabrina Massialas will captain the women's squad this season, while senior sabreur Jonah Shainberg, senior foilist Hazem Khazbak and senior epeeist Nick Hanahan will guide the men's side.
Kvaratskhelia nominated each of his six captains for demonstrating high standards of conduct and strong leadership.
"The six people confirmed as captains have demonstrated outstanding leadership, service and character — on and off the strip," Kvaratskhelia said. "They will be an integral part of whatever success we achieve."
Russo owns a 144-36 career record and captured her first Atlantic Coast Conference title last season en route to her second national championship. The Wayne, New Jersey, product began her Irish career auspiciously in 2015 when she won her first NCAA crown, and she repeated the feat last season after scorching the field with a 20-3 pool play record.
Roche is 126-71 in her career in epee and help the Irish to their third straight ACC Championship by compiling a 6-3 record during team play.
Massialas, the only junior of the group, is a two-time ACC Champion and two-time ACC Championship Most Valuable Fencer. She was a First Team All-American in 2016 after tying for third at the NCAA Championship, and her fifth-place finish last season landed her a Second Team All-America nod.
Shainberg is a three-time All-American, posting his best showing in 2017 with a fifth-place finish and barely missing out on making the semifinal round. He was the 2016 ACC Men's Sabre Champion and claimed runner-up status last season. He currently ranks tied for eighth in sabre wins in program history with a career record of 157-62.
Khazbak claims a 76-31 foil record and went 4-1 at the ACC Championships last season after missing the 2015-16 campaign due to Olympic training.
Hanahan is 103-55 in his career and was a 2015 NCAA Championships participant, finishing 22nd. He went 7-2 in team play at the 2016 ACC Championships helping the Irish claim their second straight ACC Championship as a sophomore.
Joanne Norell, athletics communications assistant director at the University of Notre Dame, has been part of the Fighting Irish athletics communications team since 2014 and coordinates communications efforts for the Notre Dame men's tennis, women's tennis and fencing programs, in addition to overseeing production of the football Gameday Magazine. Norell is a 2011 graduate of Purdue University and earned her master's degree from Georgetown University in 2013.

Regarded by many as Euripides' masterpiece, Bakkhai is a powerful examination of religious ecstasy and the resistance to it. A call for moderation, it rejects the temptation of pure reason as well as pure sensuality, and is a staple of Greek tragedy, representing in structure and thematics an exemplary model of the classic tragic elements. Disguised as a young holy man, the god Bacchus arrives in Greece from Asia proclaiming his godhood and preaching his orgiastic religion. He expects to be embraced in Thebes, but the Theban king, Pentheus, forbids his people to worship him and tries to have him arrested. Enraged, Bacchus drives Pentheus mad and leads him to the mountains, where Pentheus' own mother, Agave, and the women of Thebes tear him to pieces in a Bacchic frenzy. Gibbons, a prize-winning poet, and Segal, a renowned classicist, offer a skilled new translation of this central text of Greek tragedy.

"Longines Global Champions Tour" was held in Shanghai,China several days ago. As the official timekeeper and cooperative partner, the perfect fake Longines Conquest pays tribute to the 150 years' profound relationship between Longines and equestrian sport.
Eventually, Israeli equestrienne Daniel Goldstein achieved the championship with a superb performance, while Irish rider Darag Kenny and Dutch Rider Jul Welling achieved second and third respectively. The CEO of Longines presented the award to the winners and awarded them the exquisite Longines copy with silver dial.
The relationship between Longines and equestrian began from 1869 and in 1926, Longines became the official timekeeper of International steeplechase. This year, the knockoff watch with steel case has been designated as the official watch of the competition. The five distinctive functions and the exploring spirit have manifested the brand's passion on the equestrian.

In December 2018, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published an update for the Department of Defense Risk Management Framework (RMF). The comprehensive roadmap is officially titled NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-37 Revision 2, Risk Management Framework for Information Systems and Organizations: A System Life Cycle Approach for Security and Privacy.
NIST published Revision 2 on December 20, 2018 as a first step toward providing security and risk management with an integrated and flexible methodology. In addition to the government implementing RMF 2.0 as a strategy, DoD contractors are required to meet standards as well.
The RMF describes processes that must be followed by all federal agencies in order to secure, authorize, and manage IT systems and cybersecurity capabilities and services. The next-generation RMF integrates privacy and adds RMF to the software development life cycle. Additionally, version two includes information on aligning the RMF with NIST's Cybersecurity Framework, supply chain, and security engineering.
Ultimately, the updated documentation provides a broader, more comprehensive set of guidelines to manage risk in federal agencies and other organizations seeking to strengthen their risk management process.
The Seven Steps of RMF
The revision identifies seven major objectives. All are essential for the successful execution of the RMF, according to NIST.
- Provide a closer link and communication between risk management processes and activities at the C-suite level of the organization and the individuals processes, and activities at the system and operational level of the organization.
- Institutionalize critical enterprise-wide risk management preparatory activities to facilitate a more effective, efficient, and cost-effective execution of the RMF.
- Demonstrate how the Cybersecurity Framework can be aligned with the RMF and implemented using established NIST risk management processes.
- Integrate privacy risk management principles into the RMF to support the privacy protection needs for which privacy programs are responsible.
- Promote the development of trustworthy secure software and systems by aligning life cycle-based systems engineering processes in NIST SP 800-160 with relevant steps in the RMF.
- Integrate supply chain risk management (SCRM) concepts into the RMF to protect against untrustworthy suppliers, insertion of counterfeits, tampering, unauthorized production, theft, insertion of malicious code, and poor manufacturing and development practices.
- Provide an alternative organization-generated control selection approach to complement the baseline control selection approach.
A Look Inside the New "Prepare" Step
Most notably, RMF 2.0 includes a new "Prepare" step, outlining which activities are essential at organizational and information system levels to help manage security and privacy risks, including supply-chain risk .The new "Prepare" step is the best starting point to begin executing the RMF.
Its primary objectives include:
- Facilitate effective communication between senior leaders and executives on cybersecurity topics
- Facilitate organization-wide identification of common controls and development of organizationally-tailored control baselines, ultimately reducing workload on individuals, simplifying controls, and decreasing redundant work
- Reduce complexity of the IT and operations technology infrastructure by using Enterprise Architecture concepts and models to consolidate, optimize, and standardize organizational systems, applications, and services
- Minimize the complexity of systems by eliminating unnecessary functions and security and privacy capabilities that do not address security and privacy risk
- Identify, prioritize, and focus resources on the organization's high-value assets that require increased levels of protection.
In summary, the key additions incorporated into the RMF 2.0 include:
- Alignment and integration with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
- How to handle Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
- Incorporation of the Prepare step
- Task References from NIST SP 800-160 with Security Engineering Processes
- Implications for Supply Chain Risk Management
For all government vendors, this offers a new direction for best practices to follow. Discover more about the RMF 2.0 here.
Incorporated in 2005, PPT Solutions, Inc. provides systems and software engineering services to government and commercial aerospace organizations, including RMF compliance for Department of Homeland Security IT systems. PPT represents People, Processes, and Technology, and it is our goal to offer solutions that improve the effectiveness of these three things to work together for optimum performance.

A matric girl pregnant and three teachers suspended, as pupils claim one teacher slept with several girls
Education authorities are investigating a sex-for-marks scandal after three teachers were suspended last week.
The teachers are believed to have had sex with at least 10 schoolgirls at a rural Eastern Cape school, the name of which is being withheld to protect the girls' identities.
One of the girls, now writing matric exams, is pregnant by her accounting teacher, said her uncle, who reported the matter to the provincial education department two weeks ago.
It's been alleged that the teachers have been having sex with the pupils since at least June – but nothing was done about it.
"She conducted a home pregnancy test and informed the teacher who then promised to give her money for an abortion," the uncle told City Press.
In a recorded conversation between the 19-year-old girl and her uncle, she details her relationship with the teacher and names other teachers having sex with their pupils.
The uncle said the teacher promised the girl marks and enticed her with money.
The uncle reported the matter to the school's management and the education MEC's office.
Lindelwa Mdemka, a senior teacher at the school, confirmed the girl told the principal her accounting teacher had sex with her. Mdemka said the girl was suicidal and begged the school not tell her parents.
"She is shocked. And we cannot deal with the case while the pupil is writing exams and threatening to take her own life if we inform the parents. We decided we would discuss it after the exams because we feared the girl might stop coming to school or worse, kill herself, because she is afraid," Mdemka said.
Three other matric girls at the school told City Press that sex with teachers was common.
One said that in June, during winter school evening classes, a teacher and other pupils caught one of the suspended teachers having sex with a schoolgirl in the staff room, which the pregnant schoolgirl also confirms in the recording.
But Mdemka denied that management knew anything about this. The three girls listed 10 pupils known to be involved with the three suspended teachers.
"You would find situations where one teacher would be sleeping with two or three girls who are not only friends but even roommates," said one.
Another said most of the schoolgirls involved with teachers live in other villages and rent rooms close by where they live alone and are "easy targets".
A source said the girls were "desperate to pass".
"I also rent in the village. No one monitors us, so you find that these teachers go for those girls who stay by themselves," she said.
In the recording, the pregnant schoolgirl details how she first had sex with the teacher in August.
She met him at a garage in Mthatha and they went to his home in a nearby village. They had sex there and the next day he gave her R100, R30 for use as taxi fare, and he told her to keep the change.
"I know what I did was wrong and that the teacher does not even love me and was probably taking advantage of me, but I had a crush on him and he, too, liked me.
"After we slept together he asked me to keep our relationship a secret. He said this was because teachers are supposed to be parents to pupils," she says in the recording.
"After I slept with him, the first time when I saw him in class I was ashamed. But subsequently it became normal."
The pregnant schoolgirl told her uncle that one of the teachers had sex with three schoolgirls, two of whom are roommates in the village. They fell out after discovering they were sleeping with the same teacher.
A male teacher at the school said he was shocked by what the teachers had done, because the practice is exposed "in the news everyday".
"These teachers are aware that what they are doing is wrong. We don't know why they are doing this and these are young teachers and now they have ruined their careers and the future of these pupil," he said.
The school's governing body chairperson, Asakhe Mase, said:
"It looks like these three teachers were doing this thing in collaboration.
"It seems as though it was something they were discussing and were playing these girls and taking advantage of them," she said.
Provincial education spokesperson Malibongwe Mtima said even though the teachers were suspended, they were sending an investigation team to the school tomorrow.
"The allegations that the pupils and teachers sleep together in exchange for marks will be tested by the investigating team," he said.
The scale of the problem
For the past 11 years a sex offenders register has been on the cards but, despite being established by an Act of Parliament in 2007, it still does not exist.
The list was to have contained the names of teachers found to have had sex with pupils, preventing them from being re-employed at other schools.
In the past financial year alone, 78 incidences of teachers having sex with or raping their pupils have been reported to the SA Council of Educators (Sace), according to its annual report.
Basic education department spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said the list required the collaboration of the education, justice and social development departments.
"The matter was recently addressed at the portfolio committee when the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) dealt with it, raising concerns about the current status," he said.
"It's shocking and disturbing when you find that some of those people are teachers who target the girl pupils for sexual exploitation. We need to get tough on them and find a way to send them to jail – not just dismiss them from teaching. Teachers are also not allowed by law to have romantic relationships with pupils."
Mhlanga cited one case of a school in Diepsloot, Johannesburg, at which 34 pupils were pregnant this year.
"We don't know yet if teachers are involved in the pregnancies but we will investigate," he said.
"It's about time we view this as a crisis. We cover sex and sexuality in the curriculum; we have a new policy coming in for implementation but it's not enough. Society needs to stand against these issues especially when older men are involved."
A collective agreement – struck between unions and the department at the ELRC – details the difficulties in dealing with teachers having sex with pupils.
These include "parents' refusal to expose pupils to secondary trauma, resulting in offenders being re-absorbed into the education system to commit repeat offences".
The document states that although this is a dismissible offence, some offending teachers were given a mere three-month unpaid suspension.
"Pupils and parents are reluctant to testify afresh due to the secondary trauma that pupils are subjected to," the document states, adding that this leads to the reinstatement of teachers instead of them being struck off the role by Sace.
Now it has been agreed that an arbitration process, led by qualified and experienced arbitrators, will replace the department's internal disciplinary hearings.
The intermediaries will help children give evidence and use special venues, such as children's courts, with two-way mirrors.

Re: new business startupWingman Jan 8, 2008 10:06 PM (in response to sweetkake1)Hi sweetkake1,
I'm not sure who told you that bank will simply give you money because you attended some of their seminars/workshops. If there is such a bank, please let me know.
When I approached banks for money they all wanted to see a business plan as well colateral to back up the loan. Especially now with the mortgage crisis and credit tightening, I would be surprised if the banks are not more stingy/careful with the money they lend out.
If you haven't already done so, you really need to put togeher a detailed business plan. This will force you to evaluate whether or not your business idea can be successful by looking at each of the individual parts (eg. demographics, projected sales, expenses, etc.).
good luck with your business
Re: new business startupFCPainter Jan 8, 2008 10:51 PM (in response to Wingman)Wingman is probably right. Although you have to watch how banks define start-ups. some will define them as businesses that have never opened their doors, while others will define them as businesses less than 2 years old.
A lot of times you can get a business credit card sooner than you can get a tradtional loan. Not a bad way to start building a credit history, although you'll have some personal liablility in all likelihood.
The SBA can be helpful, and I am betting the SCORE people can too.
Re: new business startupLUCKIEST Jan 9, 2008 7:46 AM (in response to sweetkake1)Tell us more about you and your business. How long have you been in bus and where??
Banks DO NOT usually give money to new small business owners unless they have a Business and Marketing Plan
and other security.
Do you know about SCORE? SCORE is a partner to Bank of America and provides FREE business assistance.
Good luck, LUCKIEST
Re: new business startupintechspecial Jan 9, 2008 1:55 PM (in response to sweetkake1)http://www.sba.gov/ can be a great resource for you!

i have heard from word of mouth that many banks give money for new small business owners, i think they said you would have to start attending some of their workshops. Do any one no anything about this?

Tony Romo Has Successful Clavicle Surgery
The Dallas Cowboys have announced that quarterback Tony Romo had successful surgery on his left clavicle on Tuesday. He is expected to undergo a six to eight week period of recover and treatment before returning to football related activities.
Romo had the surgery so that hopefully that will make his left shoulder stronger as he broke it twice last season. The injury only allowed Romo to play in 4 games. The Cowboys want to keep Romo healthy because over the last 36 games, the Cowboys are 17-5 with Romo and 1-13 without him.

The launch of the National Gallery of Canada Review online marks a new era in our institution's scholarly activities. After the Bulletin and the Annual Bulletin from 1963 to 1985 and the National Gallery of Canada Review from 2000 to 2008, we are starting the next chapter in our long tradition of scholarly publications.
In fact, this publication has proved to be an indispensable tool for disseminating the results of research conducted in and around the NGC. Both the evolution toward digital and the partnership with the University of Toronto Press (UTP) seem to us to be the best editorial response to the high expectations of our readership.
We are extremely grateful to Marc Mayer, Director of the National Gallery of Canada, who supported the initiative of reviving our institution's Review without hesitation. We must also acknowledge the unfailing commitment of the UTP. But a periodical would be nothing without its skilled authors, and so here we would like to pay tribute to them. This new edition reflects the diversity that represents both the wealth and the identity of our institution: its collections.

Après le Bulletin, le Bulletin annuel de 1963 à 1985 et la Revue du Musée des beaux-arts du Canada de 2000 à 2008, ce nouveau chapitre s'inscrit dans une longue tradition de publications savantes.
Cet ouvrage s'avère, en effet, être un outil indispensable pour la diffusion des résultats de la recherche effectuée au sein et autour du MBAC. Tant l'évolution vers le numérique qu'un partenariat avec les Presses universitaires de Toronto (UTP) nous semblent être la meilleure solution éditoriale pour répondre aux attentes élevées de notre lectorat.
Notre plus vive reconnaissance va à Marc Mayer, directeur du Musée des beaux-arts du Canada, qui a d'emblée soutenu l'initiative de faire revivre la Revue de notre institution. Il convient aussi de saluer l'engagement sans faille des UTP. Mais un périodique ne serait rien sans la compétence de ses auteurs. C'est donc au personnel scientifique de notre institution que nous tenons ici à rendre hommage. Cette nouvelle édition reflète dans sa diversité ce qui fait la richesse de l'identité de notre institution : ses collections.

The "In the Review Queue" series provides TOCWOC – A Civil War Blog readers with a brief look at books Brett Schulte is planning to review here on the blog. These will be very similar to Drew Wagenhoffer's "Booknotes" series at Civil War Books and Authors.
Fire in the Cane Field: The Federal Invasion of Louisiana and Texas, January 1861-January 1863 is the first in a planned "Quadrille" of books on the Civil War in Louisiana and Texas, written by Donald S. Frazier and published by State House Press. Drew Wagenhoffer's recent review of Fire in the Cane Field led me to acquire this one. This one, as you can read in Drew's review, covers the background period necessary to set the stage for the major campaigns in the area. Drew notes that the information on the campaigns covered in the book will be familiar to readers who are knowledgeable about these campaigns. I for one am eagerly looking forward to reading Fire in the Cane Field, simply because the early war years in Louisiana and Texas are almost completely unfamiliar to me. Drew's comments on the maps are spot on. These are numerous, cover the topic from multiple angles and scales, and look like they will add tremendously to the text. The book is also profusely illustrated. Those readers, like me, who are new to the subject but interested in what happened in this area will want to own a copy of Fire in the Cane Field. As I've become used to saying, "If Drew likes it, I probably will too!"
Information on Fire in the Cane Field: The Federal Invasion of Louisiana and Texas, January 1861-January 1863 is not yet available from the publisher's web site. I have been told there is a delay in the book's distribution, but that it will be out soon. I have been told readers interested in the book may call Jenna Lockley of State House Press at 325 572 3974 to place an order now. The book should be available online soon at Amazon and other online retailers. I do want to mention that you should NOT under any circumstances go to Amazon right now. An unscrupulous individual is trying to sell the book for $50, although to be fair it should be noted that copy is signed by author Donald Frazier.

Which Are Worse for Your Resume: Irrelevant Jobs or Employment Gaps?August 6th, 2014 | Articles, Resume | No Comments »
Some job search decisions aren't so straightforward. All generations of job seekers are trying to figure out which is the lesser of two evils on your resume: irrelevant jobs or employment gaps. It's becoming a more common conundrum in the workforce.
Baby Boomers are retiring from long-term jobs and are looking to remake themselves in new fields. When making the transition, it's hard for them to step out of the shadow of their previous career into a different discipline.
Millennials, many still struggling in the job market, have had to make compromises with temporary or part-time work to pay the bills. In fact, labor economist John Schmitt said to Bloomberg that "among 22-year-old degree holders who found jobs in the past three years, more than half were in roles not requiring a college degree."
That means, plenty of young graduates have a chunk of experience on their resume that won't get hiring managers salivating. However, a long employment gap, especially after college, can leave a pretty sharp stigma.
Really, neither choice is an ideal one.
Irrelevant Jobs Make You Seem Flighty
Some would say it's better to exclude irrelevant jobs. A resume isn't your autobiography. It's a marketing tool. By that logic, an employment gap helps you to only highlight information that is relevant to the position; all the rest is white noise.
Moreover, an employer expects to see their ideal employee reflected back in your resume. Though an employment gap on a resume isn't amazing, it strikes fewer demerits against your image as an experienced professional in your field.
Ming Lee Young, a researcher at the University of California Berkley, found in a survey of nearly 100 million resumes for 100,000 positions that employers are anxious about employees with a litany of irrelevant jobs on their resumes. In Lee Young's words, it makes you appear to be a "dilettante": someone who drifts through positions without any true level of commitment.
Employment Gaps Make You Appear Outdated or Deceptive
Others warn that you never resort to employment gaps. An irrelevant job on a resume isn't optimal, but an employment gap carries its own stigma.
For starters, 5.6 million Americans have been out of work for longer than 6 months. Depending on the industry, employers are going to be very reluctant to hire anyone out for that long.
One of the recruiters from our Ashley Ellis division says that especially in IT, "there's a presumption that any gap means technology has evolved beyond you." Other industries may carry that belief to varying degrees.
Even if you make it to an interview, it doesn't mean you're out of the woods yet. Inevitably, you'll be asked about the employment gap on your resume. Then, you have to walk a tightrope as you try to explain why you hid a previous job. Some employers won't return your calls after an omission like that.
Lessening the Blow
So, there's no clear answer, but that doesn't mean you're without hope. While there's no magic wand capable of making your problems disappear, you can attenuate the effect of either choice.
Are you choosing to leave irrelevant jobs on your resume? You need to connect the dots between each position. In Ming Lee Young's study, he found employers long for a narrative. If you have varied work experience and can make it seem like a logical progression, you'll appear like a Renaissance Man or Woman who can overcome obstacle. That makes you a commodity that must employers won't pass up.
Are you choosing to include an employment gap? You need to show you were sharpening your skills in the meantime. While working at an irrelevant job, were you pursuing career relevant projects on the side? Emphasize their importance. Whether volunteering, freelancing, or using those projects to further your education, you can include that on a resume and keep that employment gap from appearing so imposing.

17 November 2017 | ARGENTINE
The tournament of the sixth day was none the less than the match of day 5 in the Argentine Polo Field in Palermo
The tournament of the sixth day was none the less than the match of day 5 in the Argentine Polo Field in Palermo (third in Zone B) of the 124th Argentine Open HSBC Polo Championship, the world's largest interclub event.
In the first turn, on court 2, Algeria Land Rover beat Chapaleufu Cardon by 18-10 in a match that ended in a heavy rain. No doubt the second match was played that day, in which the recent winner of the Hurlingham Club Open, Ellerstina Johor, had to fight more to defeat a very tough LD La Dolphina Polo Ranch for a tight 12-11.
The men in magenta of Algeria scored four consecutive goals with an unstoppable Facundo Sola.All that was fatal Chapaleufu, who at all times sought to impose his game, with "Gallego" Martinez Ferrarrio as his best figure on the date, but still Algeria took advantage of rain, to finish 18-10 above.
Further on court one Ellerstina won, but the Polo Ranch team was still content with his performance. Despite of the mind blowing performance, scoring and being within the range of equality, they did not manage to draw. Ellerstina is still undefeated and will surely define the Zone before Algeria, while Polo ranch will play against Chapaleufu in a momentous match for the ranking.
The scores in Court 2 of the individual players were as follows: Alejo Land Rover: Facundo Sola 8 (6 goals), Hilario Ulloa 10 (1), Guillermo Caset (h) 9 (8, two penalties) and Frederick Mannix (h) 8 (3). Total: 35.
Chapaleufu Cardon: Alberto Heguy (h) 7 (3), Ezequiel Martinez Ferrarrio 8 (4), Julian de Lusarreta 7 (1) and Eduardo Heguy 8 (2 penal). Total: 30.
The Court 1 scores of individual teams were; Ellerstina Johor: Pablo Pieres 9 (7, two penalties), Gonzalo Pieres (h) 10 (3) (he converted a goal against the 7th chukker), Facundo Pieres 10 (1) and Nicolas Pieres 10 (1). Total; 39.
LD La Dolfina Polo Ranch: Deigo Cavanagh 7 (7, three penalties), Gullermo Terrera (h) 8 (2), Alejo Taranco 7 and Ignatious du Plessis 8 (1). Total: 30.

In the face of a Presidential Administration that is unleashing a budget proposal that slashes the EPA by nearly one-third—as well as Executive Orders that take aim at the safeguards that protect the air we breathe and the Clean Power Plan, America's first-ever national limits on the dangerous carbon pollution spewing from our coal-fired power plants—California needs to stand stronger than ever, and continue to take the lead in fighting for clean air.
We now have even stronger evidence that the air we breathe is not equal. As EDF worked with our partners to map air quality in Oakland, we found an ongoing prevalence of harmful emissions in the air Californians breathe every day—including numerous "hotspots" of dirtier air in residential neighborhoods near freeways, industry, and other sources.
In California, state leaders have taken crucial steps to move towards a cleaner future. Take action today, and tell your state legislators to protect California's crucial efforts to clean your air and protect public health.
Please protect and enforce the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan
Dear [Decision Maker],
Thank you,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

Disney's Frozen continues to steamroll any and everything in its path. Though the film first opened all the way back in November and is already out on home video stateside (and dominating everything in that market too), the pic is continuing its international rollout and recently hit another box office milestone. At a worldwide gross of $1.219 billion, Frozen has now become the fifth highest grossing film of all time, besting Iron Man 3's worldwide gross of $1.215 billion. That's a hefty sum for any film, but it's refreshing to see a non-sequel, non-franchise property doing so well.
Hit the jump for more, including where Frozen stands on the all-time domestic chart.
With $1.219 billion worldwide, Frozen now ranks #5 on the all-time chart, behind only Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, The Avengers, Titanic, and of course, Avatar. It's unlikely that Frozen will be able to top Harry Potter's $1.341 billion without some sort of re-release, but the number five spot of all time is still quite an accomplishment.
On the all-time domestic chart, however, Frozen was unable to crack the Top 10. It's stateside total stands at $400.5 million, putting it at number 19 on the chart, just behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and in front of Deathly Hallows – Part 2.
Disney has admirably not rushed into developing a sequel just yet, as they're currently focused on putting together a Broadway musical adaptation of the film, but Frozen has invaded the zeitgeist in more ways than one. Frozen merchandise continues to be one of the most in-demand items for youngsters, and on the next season of ABC's Disney-mining fantasy series Once Upon a Time, Elsa is poised to make her live-action debut.

Random House LLC Launches Curated Magazines on Flipboard
In an effort to reach more readers than ever before, Random House LLC, a U.S. division of Penguin Random House has partnered with Flipboard, the popular news and social media aggregation application, to become the first ever book publisher to curate content for the platform of 85 million users. The collaboration kicks off with two custom digital magazines. The first, curated by Margaret Atwood, is inspired by her new novel, MaddAddam and the second, by Westeros.org, explores the fictional worlds of George R. R. Martin. Both go beyond each authors' catalog, boasting new material, as well as showcasing Flipboard's visual capabilities with numerous images inspired by each authors' immersive worlds-something readers will love, and haven't seen before in book form.
There are lots of ways for Flipboard readers to discover the Random House magazines: they are included in sections curated by Flipboard's editorial team such as Books, Culture, Tech, and Flipboard Picks; featured in the Content Guide in Flipboard's New & Noteworthy, By Our Readers, and Books categories; and the Inside Flipboard blog will feature exclusive "Red Couch" interviews with Random House authors such as Margaret Atwood. "We love the collaboration with Random House and its authors as they add new types of content to Flipboard, turning storytelling into a transmedia experience," said Josh Quittner, editorial director at Flipboard.
Margaret Atwood's Flipboard magazine, MaddAddam's World based on her new novel, MaddAddam is filled with unique information, out-of-the-box ideas, and stunning images. "The magazine will enhance the experience of being immersed in the brilliantly imagined world that Margaret Atwood has created in the trilogy," says Judy Jacoby, vice president, director of advertising and promotion at Doubleday. "For readers who are new to the trilogy, it can be an intriguing introduction; for readers who have completed the trilogy and don't want it to end...it doesn't have to!"
The World of Ice and Fire magazine on Flipboard provides a centralized hub that explores all things related to George R.R. Martin. "George R.R. Martin has such a passionate fan base, an official Flipboard magazine is the perfect venue for fans to stay current on news as well as sample excerpts of GRRM's work that they might not yet be familiar with," said Scott Shannon, publisher of digital content at Random House. The magazine is curated by Westeros.org, known and respected experts on George R.R. Martin's works, blessed by the author and Random House. Magazine readers can expect to learn more about the Song of Ice and Fire series, which began with A Game of Thrones, as well as the author's other projects in fiction, comics, gaming, and collectibles.
"We are always looking for innovative ways to connect with readers around the topics that matter to them," says Amanda Close, senior vice president, digital marketplace development at Random House. "Flipboard provides a powerful platform for authors to create absorbing experiences for readers with their magazines. We are excited toreach a new audience on Flipboard and facilitate deeper discussion about books across social media."
Random House also publishes the Colophon, a Flipboard magazine covering publishing industry news, syndicates blogs such as the travel site Fodors.com and Word and Film, which examines the intersection of books, movies and television, and plans to create additional content for the platform.

Not that this picture is. It's the right main line station (Waterloo Station), though, even if the year and time are far in the future from this particular memory.
I've been playing a lot of Led Zeppelin recently. A band that is quite deeply woven into my youth even though they were never a real favorite. At the time, early nineteen seventies, they were so popular that it was impossible to escape them and they still possessed a certain mystique that was about to get washed away by the punk revolution.
That led me, in the way that so often happens these days, to idly look them up in Wikipedia. There I found this entry. I was at one of those Earl's Court concerts. I forgotten that it was 1975. I'd forgotten the playlist. I have a fairly clear memory of the band on stage, but the stage was a long way away. Not much intimacy in Earl's Court. I do remember red headed Eppy was one of friends I was with that evening.
What I remember most of all, though, was spending three hours in the early morning at Waterloo Station waiting for the earliest train back to Guildford, the milk train.
At that time, the station was mostly deserted. There were two groups of people. One was us, a scattered gathering of music fans who had missed our connections to the south. The other was a collection of drunks who may not have been aware that they missed their connections (if they had one at all) or even if they were in the right station.
Of the two groups, the drunks looked much happier. I was almost deaf and so were my companions, so we had to bellow at each other to be heard. As we were also horse from yelling at the stage, this made communication rather painful.
So mostly we just sat and waited. And waited. And waited. Once or twice a drunk would wander up to us hoping for a cash infusion but went away empty handed. We were pretty much empty handed ourselves.
Finally, at about 4 a.m., a whistle blew and a gate opened. We stumbled very sleepily onto the train. I don't remember how I got home after that but evidently I did it.
It left me with an impression of Waterloo Station that is perhaps the clearest memory I have of that place. I can picture the rather dirty concrete floor and the wooden seats, the old clocks and the unintelligible loudspeaker announcements. The old style notice boards, all replaced by electronics now. Everything is spruced up, in fact, it's hard to see the old station in the new. Fortunately – for I have a fond memory of that strange night – the old remains in my mind.
(The photo dates from 2006. One I snapped on our way home from Northumberland and paid little attention to afterwards. But it fits this particularly post. This is one reason I keep most of old photos. What may seem unremarkable at one time can take on value at another.)

North Wales' The Joy Formidable continued their European tour with a stop at London's The Lexington and delivered an exciting preview of what was to come from their new album, AARTH, and their Reading and Leeds Festival sets the following weekend.
The band emerged with searing one two of 'Greyhounds In The Slip' and 'I Don't Want To See You Like This', instantly demonstrating their ability to utilise loud-quiet dynamics, instrumental layering, and lead singer and guitarist Ritzy Bryan's soaring vocals, to create the kinds of richly composed alt anthems which have endeared them to so many over the last decade or so.
The set-list transitioned from the defiant stomp of 'I Don't Want To See You Like This', via the melody heavy, pop leaning 'The Greatest Light Is The Greatest Shade' and round to the experimental classic rock of 'Passerby' with ease. As a three piece they played with great natural chemistry. The musicianship was tight, the breakdowns controlled but played with a sense of freedom and their stage presence almost effortless, with guitarist and keys player Rhydian Dafydd providing notable backing vocals throughout. The strength of their relationship came across in both their performance and the interludes between tracks, with one segment discussing Ritzy's clumsy nature and trolls particularly memorable.
The band also played a delicate reworking of early track 'Ostrich'. Breaking the track down to a piano-led opening section added extra reverence to the message of self-exploration and forgiveness underpinning the track. However, the band sounded at their best on their most propulsive tracks, blending rich melodies, cathartic lyricsm, electro pop influenced synths and keys with thick guitar lines and the powerful and dynamic drumming of Matthew Thomas. The best examples of this on the night were 'Cradle', 'Whirring' and 'The Ladder Is Us', all of which drew fantastic reactions from a knowledgeable audience.
The setlist had all the makings of a warm up performance for their main stage appearances at Reading and Leeds, packing a number of their biggest hits into a relative short performance. That said, when you consider that some of the tracks missing include 'The Leopard And The Lung', 'The Everchanging Spectrum Of A Lie' and 'Fog (Black Windows)', it is clear that the band are capable of much bigger stages and their pending US tour supporting the Foo Fighters is testament to this.
There were also only space for two tracks from their upcoming fourth album AARTH on the night – second single 'The Wrong Side' and the dark, searing 'Y Bluen Eira'. Both demonstrate the continued evolution in the band's sound. There are the same intense rhythms, progressive songcraft and inventive guitar work that has been their trademark to date, but the album promises further evolution, with their time spent on tour recording impacted by global socio-political change, as well as the countries and environments they have found themselves. The result is a collage of influences funnelled into The Joy Formidable's own unique brand of rock, leading to an explorative and often inward leaning record that has great promise.

text: Texas foster care New Report Finds Texas' Foster Care System Poses 'Unreasonable Risk Of Serious Harm' By Jill Ament • Jun 17, 2020 From Texas Standard: A comprehensive report written by two court-appointed federal monitors says that children in the Texas foster care system continue to face "unreasonable risk of serious harm." The assessment, released this week, comes several years after a U.S. district judge in Corpus Christi ordered the state to fix its foster care system, finding it unconstitutionally unsafe for young people in its care. Without The Right Placements Available, More Texas Foster Kids Are Sleeping In State Offices By Jill Ament • Jan 23, 2020 From Texas Standard: The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services recently released new internal guidelines that cut the caseloads of foster care workers who have been overwhelmed for years by an unmanageable number of clients. But the department has faced many challenges lately, beyond a struggling workforce. Federal Judge Hammers Texas Officials Over Failures To Improve Foster Care System By Edgar Walters, Texas Tribune & Edgar Walters, Texas Tribune • Nov 7, 2019 Nearly four years after a federal judge first ruled that Texas violated foster children's civil rights by placing them in a system where rape and over-medication were the norm, it's high time for the state to stop dragging its feet and start making changes, that same federal judge ruled on Tuesday. Federal Appeals Court Orders Fixes To Texas' Foster Care System By Becky Fogel • Jul 11, 2019 A federal appeals court has ordered Texas to make significant changes to improve its foster care system. A three-judge panel at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling Monday in the long-running class action lawsuit that revolved around the treatment of children in permanent managing conservatorship. These are children who are neither reunited with their biological families nor adopted out of the system. Instead, they remain in the state's custody until they age out of foster care. Persistence Is Often Key To Getting Needed Identification For Foster Youth By editor • Feb 8, 2019 From Texas Standard: "Unidentified: How Kids Can Age Out Of Texas Foster Care Without Documentation" is a series of reports from Texas Standard about the lack of needed identification documents among Texas foster youth. In "Unidentified," one foster mom described the crucial role played by her children's attorney ad litem in getting their documentation. That attorney ad litem no longer works in that role. Maya Guerra Gamble is now a judge on the 459th Civil District Court in Travis County. She says persistence was a key ingredient in her success representing foster youth. "Some of the documents, like a birth certificate, can be very hard to come by," Guerra Gamble says. "When children show up, their parents may not have any of their documentation." Texas Foster Kids Continue To Sleep In State Offices By Jonathan Baker • May 27, 2018 af.mil It appears that the Texas foster care system still needs a good deal of work, despite a federal order to overhaul the system. As The Austin American-Statesman reports, last month 50 foster children were forced to sleep in Child Protective Services offices for at least two consecutive nights as they awaited placement. Why Do Children in Foster Care Become Pregnant At A Much Higher Rate? Well, It's Complicated By editor • May 8, 2018 From Texas Standard: An earlier version of this story said that thousands of children in Texas foster care are sexually abused. The data shows that CPS investigated thousands of reports of sexual abuse in Texas. Of those, CPS found 43 confirmed cases of sexual abuse while in foster care. We have updated this article and the audio version of the story to reflect the update. A quick warning – some parts of this story are disturbing. Texas children in foster care are getting pregnant at a rate five times higher than children who are not in the system. That was the shocking bottom line of a report released last month by the non-profit policy organization Texans Care for Children. For Girls In The Texas Foster Care System, Teen Pregnancy Is 5 Times More Likely By Jonathan Baker • Apr 16, 2018 Bas Silderhuis / The Texas Tribune A new report says current and former Texas foster youth face greater pregnancy risks and calls on the state to provide health care and education to at-risk teens. From The Texas Tribune: After entering Texas' foster care system in 2006, the day after her 14th birthday, Unisha Curry bounced around anywhere from nine to 11 foster homes. In one of her final homes, she had three foster sisters who were teen mothers. Bill Would Let Faith-Based Agencies Apply Beliefs In Child Placement, Even To Exclude LGBT Parents By Stephen Koranda • Mar 20, 2018 A bill before Kansas lawmakers says faith-based child agencies should not be required to place children in families if it conflicts with the religious values of the organization. The private groups currently can choose not to serve some people, such as single parents or same-sex couples. New Boss Promising Kansas Child Protection Agency Will Change For The Better By Jim McLean • Mar 11, 2018 The new head of Kansas' troubled child welfare agency got a unanimous vote of confidence from a legislative committee Friday. Even the agency's staunchest critics think Gina Meier-Hummel will sail through a confirmation vote from the full Senate to head the Department for Children and Families. "I can't imagine that she will" face any serious opposition, said Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat running for governor, and one of several lawmakers who called for the ouster of Meier-Hummel's predecessor, former DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore. Federal Judge Says Texas Still Needs Oversight To Fix Its 'Broken' Foster Care System By Marissa Evans, Texas Tribune • Jan 22, 2018 A federal judge has ruled Texas will continue to need oversight of how it cares for vulnerable children, even after sweeping legislative changes last year. In a 116-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Janis Jack ruled on Friday afternoon that Texas leaders will remain under the watchful eye of federal special masters for three years as they implement more policies for how abused and neglected children are protected. She wrote in her ruling that "the system remains broken and DFPS has demonstrated an unwillingness to take tangible steps to fix the broken system." In Texas, Child Protection Services Improving But Still Falling Behind By Jonathan Baker • Dec 6, 2017 dfps.state.texas.us The Texas Department of Child Protective Services continues to fall short when it comes to responding to investigations in a timely manner, reports The Austin American-Stateman. However, things have improved somewhat at the embattled agency. Since CPS was ordered to clean up its operation by lawmakers, employee workloads have diminished, and the agency has hired more caseworkers. But when it comes to responding to calls regarding children in potential danger, the organization is still lagging behind. Texas Looks To Improve Troubled Foster Care System By Angie Haflich • Sep 7, 2017 CCO Creative Commons A number of laws took effect earlier this month meant to improve Texas's child welfare system. As KUT reports, the state's foster care system was deemed unconstitutional and "broken" by a U.S. District Judge in Dec. 2015, following several reports about Texas kids dying from neglect and abuse while in foster care. That led to a series of bills aimed at overhauling the system, including Senate Bill 11, which establishes a model that increasingly privatizes the foster care system. Navigating Kansas Foster Care System Can Be A Challenge For Parents By Megan Hart • May 30, 2017 A few years ago, Olathe attorney Shanelle Dupree noticed a pattern in the foster care cases she handled: Most parents had little understanding of the system or what to do if they wanted their children back. So she started a class to try to change that. Once a month, parents who have a child in foster care can meet in a Johnson County family law courtroom to learn more about the basics of the child welfare system. Most parents are referred by the courts as part of the plan to prove they can take care of their children, Dupree said. Texas passes law that will turn away some prospective foster parents By Angie Haflich • May 22, 2017 Nick Youngson http://nyphotographic.com/ As the Texas Panhandle faces a rising number of foster children without homes, the Texas Legislature Monday passed a law that would turn away some prospective parents for religious reasons. As ABC 7 Amarillo reports, there is a growing need for foster homes in the Texas Panhandle. Texas House passes bill banning vaccination of foster children By Jonathan Baker • May 17, 2017 Bob Daemmerich / Texas Tribune The Texas House of Representatives has passed a measure that would prevent doctors from vaccinating foster children—even when those vaccinations would prevent them from later getting cervical cancer. Texas foster care advocates clash with privatization supporters By Jonathan Baker • Feb 4, 2017 Astrid Westvang / Creative Commons In Texas, foster care providers have clashed with court judges over a senator's proposal to privatize foster care. As The Dallas Morning News reports, the debate centers around whether private contractors in Texas should be allowed to completely take over supervision of abused and neglected children. Judge orders Texas to come up with plan to fix foster system By Jonathan Baker • Jan 12, 2017 Jay Janner / Austin American-Statesman A federal judge has now ordered Texas officials to create several plans to fix the systemic problems that have plagued the state's foster care system for years. Some of the proposed fixes will be due in as little as three months from now.
