Want to know a secret? I loathe the phrase Digital Transformation. Not only is the word Digital silly and misleading, but Transformation ain't much better. The mere act of naming a business initiative Digital Transformation suggests to people that once the transformation is complete, we'll be done. Look at us! We're Digitally Transformed!
Hogwash. A single transformation is better than nothing, but what we really want is the ability to transform our business as needed. Furthermore, we need to be agile with our transformation initiative itself. The last thing we want is to institute, say, a three-year transformation effort, only to find at the end of the three years that the world changed a year into the initiative, rendering it a useless waste of money and effort.
So, who are the right people in the organization to address this sorry state of affairs? Driving the change needed to make our organizations more successful at such ongoing transformation should ideally fall to the Enterprise Architects. Unfortunately, the way Enterprise Architecture (EA) is done today falls well short of this mark.
Traditional EA starts with documenting the initial state of an enterprise. Then Enterprise Architects document the final state as required by the business. Finally, they help the organization plan how to get from one state to the other.
There are only three things wrong with this way to think about EA: The initial state. The final state. And yes, the plan to get from one to the other. It's no wonder most organizations who were fool enough to sink money into EA believe EA is completely broken. Even EAs think EA is broken, and they do it for a living!
But no matter how fun it is to bemoan this sorry state of affairs, this Cortex must help point the direction to a better way of thinking about – and doing – Enterprise Architecture. The success of any Digital Transformation effort hangs in the balance.
What's Wrong with Point A to Point B?
It seems so intuitive that the way to solve a problem is first, understand the problem, second, understand the solution, and third, solve the problem. Unfortunately, many EA initiatives don't get past step one. Documenting the initial state of an enterprise – or even simply documenting the initial state of an enterprise's IT environment, which is usually where EAs focus their efforts – is an exercise in futility. There are simply way too many bits and pieces, moving parts made of people and technology, for such an activity to ever complete, let alone provide sufficient detail to add clarity to the situation. Remember, the organization is always in flux. Even if you could take a snapshot of everything, it would be out of date a moment later.
What about the final state? That's the nirvana situation where all your problems are solved, right? OK, raise your hand if there was ever a time in your career where all the problems were solved, all the bugs were fixed, all the projects were complete. Anybody? Sounds rather unrealistic, wouldn't you say? Even if you narrow your scope to a single aspect of your business or even a single project, there is nothing final about a final state, if you could even refer to such an implausible scenario as a state, which is asking a lot. Remember, everything is connected to everything else, and everything is always changing. The notion of a "final state" is an unrealistic simplification that misleads people into thinking the approach they're taking will actually solve problems.
Very well, let's say you've still reading, in spite of thinking my comments on initial and final state are a bunch of hogwash. Certainly, you may ask, the EAs can at least concoct some kind of plan for getting from point A to point B? Sorry to disappoint. If what you mean by a "plan" is a description of the steps you must take that you can put together before you take those steps, then no. You'll never come up with such a plan that ends up having any relationship to reality by even the halfway mark. There are simply too many unknowns, and too many things can change along the way.
Moving Up a Level
The core problem with this traditional approach to architecture is that it is simply too literal. It deals with things as they are and things as you desire them to be, without dealing with the fact that everything is subject to change. But the good news is, we architects have a wonderful tool in our box of tricks for dealing with excess literalness: the tool of abstraction. If we move up a level of abstraction, we're no longer thinking about initial and final state. Instead, we're thinking about moving from being less agile to being more agile.
Literal-minded thinkers (and I know you're out there) will be protesting at this point that "being less agile" is our initial state and "being more agile" is our final state, so we're just playing word games. And if you squint and hold your nose, there is a minuscule portion of truth in that overly literal perspective – but you're missing the point here. "Being less agile" describes any number of possible initial states we may find ourselves in, and "being more agile" means being able to deal with change better, no matter which state we started at or where we happened to end up.
Put another way: moving from A to B describes a change (or actually, a set of changes) in the organization. Moving from less agile to more agile describes a change in how the organization deals with change, from being less able to deal with change to being more able to deal with change. In other words, we're now thinking at the Meta level. We're not doing architecture any more, oh no. We're doing meta-architecture: we're architecting our architecture.
Introducing the Bloomberg Agile Architecture™ Maturity Metamodel
Time to put some meat on these bones. As I've explained before, the Bloomberg Agile Architecture (BAA) Technique is a particular approach to implementing EA that is business agility driven. It's not a framework you need to subtract from but a technique that complements other architectural efforts. Today I'm rolling out a core BAA artifact: the BAA Maturity Metamodel.
Try as I might, I couldn't fit the entire chart into this article, so instead, I've linked to a pdf version of the Metamodel. Click here or the image below to download the pdf.
Unfortunately, there isn't room in this Cortex to fully explain the BAA Maturity Metamodel (for that, take one of our classes to learn all the details, or drop me a line). But there is room here for a few of the highlights.
First, notice the four levels: Chaotic State, First-Gen SOA/Centralized, Next-Gen SOA/Cloud-Centric, and Agile Architecture. These designations refer to the organization's context for architecture as it matures from less agile to more agile. In other words, it maps how your architecture is evolving – and thus the chart represents an aspect of your meta-architecture.
Second, note the twelve dimensions (rows), sorted neatly into four areas: Organization, Process, Information, and Technology. This organization of dimensions is more a matter of convenience than anything else. Feel free to rearrange the dimensions as you see fit.
In fact, feel free to change anything in the metamodel you see fit, based upon your situation – and always be willing to change it as your architecture evolves. Remember, there are two sides to being agile: the core driver of business agility (increasing in the metamodel from left to right) and the fact that BAA is Agile in approach (in other words, generally follows the principles of the Agile Manifesto). And as ye old Manifesto sayeth, thou shalt respond to change over following a plan. Even if the plan is to be Agile!
Finally, never forget what this diagram is for. It's for helping architects coordinate change across the organization as driven by business needs. The metamodel – or any other aspect of the architecture – never tells the business what it should do. In the immortal words of a well-known sage: "business needs drive the architecture, and architecture drives the technology. Never let technology drive the architecture or the architecture drive the business." Couldn't have said it better myself.
The Intellyx Take
I know that many of you who took the time to download the Maturity Metamodel will have many questions about it – and over time, I'll get to the answers. But just to whet your appetite a wee bit further, let's take a moment to discuss the first dimension: Business Transformation.
The starting point for business transformation, of course, must be "no transformation." As the organization gets a handle on their architecture and moves to first-generation SOA, IT moves into the role of service provider – not simply IT services, but also Web Services that automate the interaction with existing systems of record. Instead of simply integrating those systems, now the IT organization publishes interfaces that can be consumed as needed, transforming the relationship between IT and the business (which was always easier said than done, hence the relegation of first-generation SOA to Level One).
As the architecture matures to next-generation, Cloud-friendly SOA (which in many cases loses the "SOA" name, but is Service-oriented nevertheless), the transformation story centers on the move to the Cloud. Cloud Computing, you see, is far more than a change in technology deployment. It represents a force for transforming the business.
But even Cloud-driven transformation isn't the end of the story. The move to Agile Architecture is a move to continuous business transformation – where the organization is as agile as it wants to be, and is able to deal with change as a routine part of how it does business. Continuous business transformation, of course, has always been the center of the Agile Architecture story – and is what we really mean when we say we want Digital Transformation.

I have a case pending and would like to know what is the difference between the two and which is more appropriate in a foreclosure case.
Foreclosure is a judicial process and can include a mediation. Foreclosure conciliation is similar, but can take place inside or outside of the judicial process. Foreclosure conciliation does not have the same rules and standards that a mediation does and there is no mediator. If you are in foreclosure and are not represented by an attorney, I recommend that you consult an attorney to better understand the process and protect your legal rights.
This response does not create an attorney-client relationship. Unless you are already a client of the Law Office of Preston H. Oughton, pursuant to an executed fee agreement, you should not use, interpret, or rely on this response as legal advice or opinion. Do not act on any information in this response without seeking legal advice. Preston H. Oughton http://www.oughtonlaw.com/ (904) 854-6336.
The attorneys whom have answered are correct, and you should consider this along with having counsel assist you with this. Conciliation Conferences are quite informal and without mediators while mediations are done under the direction of Chapter 44 of the Florida Statutes with a mediator whom must report to the Court after the mediation. I usually opt for mediations for my clients to keep the procedure formal until I can determine that there is progress towards settlement. I have had cases with both.
If you have a pending foreclosure court action, then the court will usually request that you partake in mediation either through the RMFM program or private mediation, if requested. Foreclosure matters whether pre or post suit are incredibly difficult to navigate without legal representation. Consultaiton with a foreclosure attorney, like our firm, is strongly recommended.

Coating Materials
CEM-KOTE CW PLUS, new from W.R. Meadows, is a one-component (add water only), Portland-cement-based coating (slurry) containing silica-based materials.
Under negative or positive water pressure, the soluble silicate penetrates (due to osmotic pressure) into the substrate, where it reacts with lime and forms insoluble calcium silicate crystals that "plug" the capillary pores and waterproof the concrete while allowing water vapor to pass, the manufacturer says.
CEM-KOTE CW PLUS is a crystalline (capillary) in-depth waterproofing for new or existing water storage and water treatment concrete structures, digesters, clarifiers and utility vaults. The product is suitable for waterproofing retaining walls, basements, concrete slabs, swimming pools, and other concrete structures, the manufacturer says.
Product Features
According to W.R. Meadows, the product:
• Contains approved ANSI/NSF Standard 61 barrier materials;
• Offers negative- or positive side-waterproofing;
• Seals cracks 0.5 mm (20 mils);
• Waterproofs highly porous concrete;
• Cures in 48 hours;
• Is non-flammable and permanently active; and
• Is approved for potable water tanks [>10,000 gallons – 1337 ft.³ (38 m³)].

Hate the lyrics, love everything else.
Their debut EP was so good.
Not really a great song, but fun enough to sustain my attention until the end I guess.
This song is definitely one of their most punky songs yet, which I love as it is a great departure from their poppy "Kiss Me
Again" and even changes their lyrical content. While most of all their old songs focused on a he said/she said relationship
dynamic this song goes for a straight message of: at the end of the day, no matter what, we are who we are (we're all just
weird kids in the end), and we shouldn't try so hard to be something we're not for other people; so that those who accept you
for who you are are the only friends you really have, and screw anyone else who doesn't. Granted many other artists have
songs with this theme, but WATIC presents it in their own way, and the lyrics and musicianship (to me) greatly represent who
this band is and it connects directly to their "crumb" fanbase.
Hate the lyrics, love everything else. [2]
She keeps sounding more and more like Hayley Williams. Just saying. "Both Sides Of The Story" my favorite song by them
The lyrics could've been better, good song though (and that bass). but I'm excited for the new album

Recipe: Slow-Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage with Creamy Horseradish Sauce
This corned beef recipe can be done in a slow cooker or crockpot.
Tampa Bay Times
Corned Beef and Cabbage Day — better known in some quarters as St. Patrick's Day — is coming right up. As made-up food holidays go, Corned Beef and Cabbage Day actually makes sense. March 17 is likely the only day of the year you'll be partaking in this fatty-delicious feast.
Oh, during the year you may have a few corned-beef sandwiches, the thin slices piled high on rye. However, the heaping plate of sliced corned beef accompanied by spicy mustard plus cabbage, potatoes and carrots, probably all boiled in beer, is usually a once-a-year experience.
And get this: Corned beef is as American as apple pie. It's not that it doesn't have vague Irish roots, but it just isn't a beloved holiday dish in Ireland.
Corned beef is still a bit of an unknown, despite its ubiquity at this time of year. What does corn have to do with it, anyway?
Nothing, really, if you are thinking of the stuff that grows as high as an elephant's eye. "Corned"means "brined,"which is what corned beef is. (Perhaps we should start saying "corned turkey"at Thanksgiving.)
Corned beef is usually beef brisket that has been cured in a brine of saltwater and spices, among them coriander seeds, peppercorns, mustard seeds and whole cloves. This recipe includes directions for a creamy horseradish sauce. That and spicy mustard will clear the head of anyone celebrating St. Patrick's Day, Irish or not.
Slow-Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage with Creamy Horseradish Sauce
Makes 4 to 6 servings
2 stalks celery, halved
4 carrots
1 medium onion, cut in 4 wedges
4 to 6 red potatoes, quartered
1 (4-pound) corned-beef brisket
1 (12-ounce) bottle stout or dark ale
1 tablespoon corned-beef spices or pickling spices (or spices that come with the brisket)
1 medium head cabbage, cut into 6 wedges
Creamy horseradish sauce:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup drained prepared horseradish
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash hot sauce
Grainy or spicy mustard for serving
1. Place celery, carrots, onion and potatoes in the bottom of a large slow cooker or Crock-Pot. Place the corned-beef brisket and place over vegetables. Add the bottle of stout, spices and enough water to just cover the meat. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 nine hours.
2.Remove the meat and vegetables from the pot and cover with foil to keep warm. Increase heat to high and cook cabbage until softened but still crispy, 20 to 30 minutes.
3. To make horseradish sauce, whip cream to soft peaks and then fold in sour cream and horseradish, to taste. Season with salt, pepper and a dash of hot sauce.
4. Slice brisket across the grain and serve with vegetables, mustard and horseradish sauce.

Inaccessible and ill-informed, District 9 School Board rep Rae Trahan's tenure is best characterized by two words: Missing. Inaction.
"By the way, it's nice to meet you. I think you're the only board member I've never seen."
|Tommy Angelle
When Lafayette Parish School Board member Rae Trahan asked Superintendent Pat Cooper a question during his final interview before the board more than seven months ago, his initial response to Trahan was more than a warning sign. Looking back, it was a bad omen.
Just hours before Cooper was selected to serve as the next superintendent of Lafayette Parish public schools, his preface to Trahan's inquiry revealed that the District 9 board rep had not only failed to attend a single interview for the top 10 candidates who applied for the superintendent's job — she was also the only board member who spoke not a single word to Cooper prior to his final interview. Cooper, a standout applicant from the start, had been named as a top 10 finalist two months before Trahan's first exchange with him. He became one of three finalists for the position roughly four weeks before being named LPSS's next super.
|Greg Awbrey
It shouldn't have come as a huge surprise to her fellow board members or the outside stakeholders who played an active role in bringing Cooper to LPSS. Despite having not attended any of the candidate interviews held here at home, she was one of the few board members who took a taxpayer-funded trip to the hometown of at least one of the top three superintendent candidates. She's also the same board member who told The Daily Advertiser in August 2011 that she had no time to complete a survey ranking a list of priorities for the district. Trahan was profound in her assertion to the daily that her colleagues on the board who filled out the survey "couldn't walk a week in my shoes."
|Tehmi Chassion
Now, seven months into a new era for Lafayette Parish public schools, Trahan's irreverence has reached new heights.
Out of Touch
Youngsville, the fastest growing town in Louisiana and the community Trahan represents, made local headlines in May when Youngsville Mayor Wilson Viator announced that overcrowding in his town's schools had become a critical problem that could no longer be ignored. The problem was so severe, in fact, that Viator said at the time he would consider a breakaway school district for Youngsville if LPSS could not find an immediate solution. More than half of the classrooms for the 900 students at Green T. Lindon Elementary School are housed in portable buildings, while Ernest Gallet Elementary teaches almost 1,200 students in a school built for 750.

Cooper immediately began working with Viator on a fix for Youngsville's three public schools, proposing "quickly and completely" renovating G.T. Lindon, adding more classrooms and bathrooms that will address the immediate overcrowding and leave a little room for future student increases. That same plan also adds a new wing to Youngsville Middle School.
Funding for the Youngsville projects will come from bond sales that should bring in approximately $33 million. Roughly $8 million of that money will be spent on the Youngsville fix, leaving substantially less money for a project that was initially slated to receive the entire $33 million and more: the district's new David Thibodaux Career and Technical High School.
|Mark Babineaux
The board's original plans for Thibodaux Tech call for an additional $47 million to go toward the finishing touches of the school, such as a new athletic complex for the facility. But the new superintendent has since recommended a shift in the mission of LPSS's new career-focused high school to a more rigorous STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) curriculum and a magnet school status. He says the district can accommodate Thibodaux Tech for about $8 million.
|Mark Cockerham
Trahan has been a strong supporter of Thib Tech, as well as a vocal advocate for the new school to receive the full funding the board planned for it before Cooper took over as superintendent. But when Cooper proposed using some of the bond money to accommodate Youngsville, at the time Trahan's comments to The Daily Advertiser seemed to place her on board with addressing the immediate needs of her district.
Fast forward to the July 18 regular board meeting, which Viator attended to publicly ask for the board's support in approving the bond sales and allowing progress to begin in Youngsville. The school board voted 5-4 to approve the bond sales. Trahan, one of four board members comprising a minority bloc that routinely teams up in opposition to Cooper's initiatives, voted against the new construction to address overcrowding in her district. Say what?
|Shelton Cobb
What was Trahan's rationale for not backing the mayor of her hometown and abandoning the students in her district in desperate need of classroom space? Your guess is as good as anyone's. Trahan, a former LPSS school bus driver who admittedly decided to run for the board seat out of concerns that former Super Dr. James Easton would attempt to privatize the bus system, did not return calls made to her home, her cell phone and her bead shop in Youngsville.
"That's a good question," says Viator, who admits he hasn't contacted Trahan since she cast the inexplicable vote against the interests of her own district.
"Whatever the reason, you have to find common ground to get things done," he says.
|Kermit Bouillion
A recent column by The Advocate's Marsha Sills speculates that the minority four board members are rejecting the new construction because the projects included in the bond sale revenues depart from the facilities master plan adopted by the board in 2010. The board's plan to prioritize facility needs across the district came with a $1.1 billion price tag, the first $560 million of which was to be funded by a property tax that voters firmly rejected in October. The majority of the board, commonly referred to as the Gang of Five, has been at odds with the other four board members for months on whether the master plan is still relevant since voters rejected funding the plan.
The board at its July 18 meeting agreed to review the master plan during board workshops that will be open to the public. Trahan was the only board member to vote against that idea as well. Why she opted against that proposal remains a mystery. It is worth noting, however, that Trahan has missed five out of six school board workshops held so far this year.
Imperfect Attendance
Attendance records obtained by The Ind — which take into account all scheduled meetings of the board (special meetings, regular meetings, workshops, committee assignments, etc.) — show that Trahan has missed a whopping 17 meetings this year alone. Trahan has the poorest 2012 school board attendance record to date, and she's well on her way to topping the 20 absences she recorded last year.
It's a title she hasn't always held since taking office in 2007. In fact, Trahan's first-term attendance records portray an active board member who missed only eight public meetings during her first four years on the board. She had perfect attendance in 2008.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence that Trahan's board meeting appearances didn't start to drastically dip until after May 4, 2011, the same day the majority Gang of Five made its debut on the board and blocked the extension of former Superintendent Burnell Lemoine's contract.
Before May 4 of last year, Trahan had missed only three meetings. The other 17 absences in 2011 came after Lemoine's contract extension was refused and the Gang of Five began voting in line with the community's wishes and against the status quo.
Trahan's face was also notably absent from both the Youngsville and Broussard chambers' recent meetings, at which Cooper was listed as the guest speaker. Sources from the Youngsville chamber confirm that Trahan, owner of Bella Beads in Youngsville, was a member of the Youngsville chamber at one time but has since dropped out. She was invited to attend both of the recent chamber meetings.
Youngsville resident and active chamber member Jeremy Hidalgo, an insurance agent for MetLife in Lafayette whose wife works as a teacher for LPSS, wasn't the only one who took notice of Trahan's absence from the meetings at which Cooper spoke.
"One of the things [Cooper] mentioned in that speech really caught my attention. He made the comment that if it were not for our mayor, he wouldn't have known about the serious problems with overcrowding in Youngsville schools," Hidalgo says. "That struck me. It still bothers me that it took our mayor to do her job."
It's a job Trahan has held for five and a half years, though she's never faced opposition in her two separate bids for the seat. Several business leaders and politicos in Youngsville speculate that in light of her track record of late, Trahan is much more likely to have an opponent if she decides to seek a third term.

"I am only getting a little nervous about two projects — the proposed Sasol GTL facility [not the new ethylene plant] and the proposed G2X facility — both in Lake Charles. They need a hefty difference between oil and natural gas prices to make sense."
Abysmally low participation by the public has prompted the council to scuttle the 2014 survey with plans to simplify it and try again next year.
The village now says the ordinance will likely be overturned and authorities will more vigorously enforce existing leash laws.
Lower oil prices also might slow the growth of oil production in parts of the U.S., Canada and elsewhere because it will no longer be so profitable.

NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.
NOV 26 Blogger CB Forgotston is confused, he says, because Governor Bobby Jindal said higher education wouldn't get cut, but it looks like it is being cut. CB's asking: When is a cut not a cut?
NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.

As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.

Actress Marg Helgenberger apparently wasn't a big fan of Justin Bieber when he guest starred on her hit CBS series 'CSI.'
In a radio interview in France (via RadarOnline), Helgenberger let it slip that Bieber "was kind of a brat. He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the cast's table."
No wonder Justin Bieber hearts you - you have made him one of the most influential people IN THE WORLD! Really, the WORLD! How long do you think Bieber Fever will last?
Pop sensation Justin Bieber is just one of many famous faces to make TIME magazine's annual 100 List, honoring the most influential people in the world.
To me it feels like Ashton is trying to stay cool by jumping on the Justin Bieber train. What do you think?
After a major documentary success with 'Never Say Never 3D' and a two-part cameo on 'CSI,' Justin Bieber might be ready for an old-fashioned Hollywood role. According to the LA Times, Bieber and Kutcher are expected to collaborate for the non-musical movie 'What Would Kenny Do?' about a guy who travels in time to guide his awkward 17-year-old self through high school.
I will admit it, Justin Bieber is growing on me. He works hard, and I respect that. I hope he stays a good guy, but time will tell!
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have been reluctant to comment on their relationship -- until now. Gomez stopped by Z100, where she opened up about Bieber and revealed she actually relates to everyone who hates that they are together.
Wednesday's Chez Kez Prize Package Bonus code is "cucumber" enter it here to enter the contest.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez made a all be it cute appearance on the red carpet of the Oscars on Sunday. Was this their official 'first date' in eye's of the world? Check out our gallery of images and you decide!

JNS.org – One of the most controversial operas in recent memory, "The Death of Klinghoffer," debuted Oct. 20 at New York's Metropolitan Opera. The Met has scheduled seven more performances through November. The first staging did not occur without protest, as about 400 demonstrators—including Jewish communal and nationally recognized leaders—came to Lincoln Center to denounce the anti-Jewish and anti-Israel opera. "Klinghoffer," the creation of composer John Adams and librettist Alice Goodman, premiered in 1991—with few additional stagings. The opera is based [...]Read more →
