Sundance Hosting Western Canadian Championship
We are pleased to announce that Sundance was selected by the Canadian Taekwon-Do Federation International (CTFI) to host the 2015 Western Canadian Championships. The decision was made at the recent annual general meeting held in Regina during the National Championships.
The tournament will see 350-400 competitors from across the western provinces competing for medals as well as rankings in our black belt national seeding point system. This will be the largest ITF event hosted in the Okanagan Valley in well over a decade and will mean great exposure for the sport aspect of Taekwon-Do in our region.
The westerns will feature competition for colour belts in both patterns and sparring. This will be a great opportunity for all of our colour belts to experience a large event without having the added costs of travelling. The tournament will be open to ages 5 and up starting at white belt.
For black belts the tournament will feature 7 categories of competition which will include individual patterns and sparring, team sparring, team patterns, individual power breaking, individual special technique and pre-arranged sparring. The event will also feature several Team Canada athletes as they prepare to represent Canada at the World Championships in May 2015.
The tournament will be held on April 11, 2015 at Kelowna Secondary.

Add/Drop debate
So i'm in a league with friends one of which continuously adds and drops players on a daily basis. I understand what he is doing is not against any rule as we do not have a set limit for add/drops for the week. However, I believe there should be a limit as I have been in leagues where there has been a limit and it has made managers have to be a little more strategic then just picking up a player since he's playing. My question here are add/drop limitations common in your history of fantasy sports/do you prefer limits or no? Any input would be greatly appreciated
Need some advice from some people. Who is a better player to have in these two scenarios. Dan Hamhuis or Rafael Diaz and Saku Koivu or Milan Michalek
H2H usually has limits. Other leagues may not. But like Amy says it doesn't help you win. I have made a few moves this year but I think they strengthened my team. There is one guy in my league that makes a ton of moves every year and he usually finishes near the bottom. So I say let him make the moves and watch him sink.
I've never played in a H2H that didn't have some form of limits. Usually it's two or three adds per week although one league I'm in has a limit of 40 moves per season. I haven't played a H2H with no limits and I don't think I'd join a league without them.
- 1 Reply to Terry
Personally, I add/drop a couple of times a week. I view it as having one roster spot that I can rotate role players into and out of to help me in a specific category. This is not unlike a NHL coach rotating players in and out of the roster to match up against other players and teams. This usually happens with the tough guys and the good defensive players.
I personally prefer limits. I hate playing with people who add and drop on a daily basis. Thankfully though, I've only played with someone like that maybe twice. I havr noticed that for the most part, in the unlimited leagues I'm in everybody pretty much sticks to necessary moves. Some do gey carried away, but I've also noticed that making the most moves doesn't guarantee winning the league. I set weekly limits in the league I run. You get seven moves a week, it works really well. I personally like the idea of managing the same team for the season, with a few moves here and there, due to injury or poor play.
yeah it's kinda #$%$ when that happens, but if you joined a league knowing the rules before the start of the fantasy season... you knew what you would be getting into.. if you're not liking his moves, then I say you simply do the same since your league is set up as such.. I personally don't prefer limits however having same day add/drop can be extremely helpful and advantageous in H2H..
Limits are there to stop people from just locking up a bunch of players and putting them on waivers however that's still all part of the strategy hence why there are two separate formats.

He wanted nothing inappropriate or disrespectful, warned the Catholic priest at the large church in Poland just before the choir began its performance.
"We thought, 'What do we do?'" said Kate Jennings, Baldwin.
With only about an hour until their prepared concert of American gospel songs, the Gospellers from Wisconsin could hardly change their repertoire.
"I'm the one who gets things cranking in the concert," said Jennings, who was especially concerned.

Alright folks... Hope you all had a lovely Xmas and New Year. Unfortunately for me i did not...Due to the fact i had a little incident on black ice last week. Seriously, never known black ice like it. Even with quattro there was ZERO traction whatsoever, the car just drifted with the camber of the road. Anyway, the result is a cracked bumper, dented wing and scratch in the door. Oh, and 4 fully curbed 19" BBS CK's (the insurance are recommending all 4 are fully replaced). So my question : My insurance company has their own recognised accident repair place which they will be sending the car. Can i not ask Audi to submit a quote to my insurers to do the work instead? Also, if Audi do the work, will that make a difference to the value of the car...or not? If any of you have had experience with this in the past, your advice would be much appreciated! Cheers fellas. Paul.
I have known people insist that a certain garage does the work rather than the one the insurance wants. They go for the cheapest which isn't always the best. I would try to get them to have it repaired by Audi. Sorry to hear about the crash
In my experience, Audi don't necessarily do a better job. It just looks a LOT better when selling the car if any work has been done by the local Audi dealer. I'll give them a call i think and push my luck. The insurance company will more than likely laugh at Audi's quote to do the work though!
You can definitely elect your own bodyshop. I did this when I needed a new rear bumper last year due to some clown not bothering to brake in time. I used an independent bodyshop that I know well and trust completely. They quoted relatively high for the repair, and the insurance company was fine to go with them. Lots of people will elect to have insurance work done by an Audi bodyshop, so unlikely they will be much more expensive than any insurance approved repairer. Bumpers etc. aren't a big deal, but a lot of people will refuse to buy a car that has any evidence of paintwork on the metal. Rather than choose a bodyshop based on the logo on the invoice, you're better to choose one based on the quality of the work they turn out. You want the repair to be unnoticeable, and that is not the case in 95% of repairs.
Just to let you know Paul, sorry to hear about this, but they have been discontinued those CK's, would you sell the damaged ones? To me :icon_thumright:
Have you thought about a job as one of them guys that asks relatives of dead folk if they can have their organs?
Well, here's the thing Nath.... I asked the insurance about selling them back to me and they were very dodgy about it. If they've written off the wheels, they're deemed unsafe and they send them off to be crushed. I better get looking for a BBS alternative to the CK's then!
I would push the insurance company and go through Audi. I have found that they are actually much much better at repairing cars than any other bodyshop I have delt with. My S3 was hit in the front when it was about 3 months old. I spoke to the insurance company who advised me on their approved repairer. It was a company I'd had bad experiences of before, so said I wouldnt be happy taking my car there. They asked where I suggested and I said Audi. They were fine with that. I have since had other paintwork carried out by the Audi bodyshop which I paid for privately and found it to be of the same exceptional standards. I know I can only speak of my own experiences and for reference the dealership is South Hereford Audi, but I would say that the dealerships are the way to go. You know you are guaranteed genuine parts and from my point of view, as the car is under warrantee it means that they are still completely responsible for any issues with the car.
Your experience of that one bodyshop may be good, but my experience of main dealer bodyshops generally couldn't be any further from that. I'd give some info about where you are in the country and get some recommendations by people that have used bodyshops in that area. Any repair will be guaranteed by the insurance co, so no worries on that front. Any good bodyshop will use genuine parts as a rule, so no worries on that front either. Don't worry about resale, because it really is more important that there is no sign of repair work, than having an Audi invoice...
Remember that some AUDI bodyshops will subcontract work to `approved` independent when they get too busy. I have a mate who used to work for AUDI and said that its surpising how many `brand new` cars go straight from the trailer to the bodyshop to repair transit damage. So we cant always assume that because the car is a brand spanker it hasnt had paintwork. Paul
Can't recommend AUDI as I've never had to use them for repairs/bodyshop work - thank god, but I've had work done by one of esure's "approved repairers" when someone caused £3K worth of damage to my C2 (which I sold for 3.2K 2 weeks later WTF) . My thoughts, choose your own bodyshop. Got my car back, closed the door and the door handle came off in my hand - they'd glued it back together. They'd "detailed" my car and done a god awful job with wax residue covering all the exterior plastic - which was nice after I'd been meticulous for 18 mths with lambswool washmits etc. etc. . They also managed to crack one of my headlights and say that it was there before the accident. Not to mention all the extra road noise, rattles, unseen work etc. Approved my ar$3 .
I wouldnt take my car to Audi my dealers "bodyshop" is just an Audi approved place, its not owned by Audi at all but is approved. I think you will find that very few Audi dealers have their own "Audi trained" staff thats for sure. I took mine to a place I knew and forced the insurance company to pay up. and i'm not sure about your concerns regarding selling it on, its not like you are going to tell a potential buyer that you trashed it surely? and make matters worse but showing them an expensive Audi stamped receipt!?
I wouldn't touch Audi with a barge pole!! They tried 3 times to correct their own (sub-standard) work but no joy. Have a hunt around and if you have used a bodyshop before try and get a quote from them and submit this to your insurance group. Good luck mate, its all hassle hassle hassle, but hopefully you get the result you are looking for.....
My last A3 got the bonnet and the nearside body keyed. nearly a full respray. The insurers wanted to use a ford garage and i was a little aprensive. However one week and a pea green Ford Ka later the car came back absolutely perfect with one of the best paint jobs i had seen.
The dealers arent always better as mentioned plus alot of insurance company's wont pay there labour rate, i work at a bodyshop our is about £40 where as Audis are normally around £80-85 and also you will only be normally to be provided with a courtesy car with there approved repairers,we have had cars in from various dealers where they have had that many attemps at putting there work correct and didnt so they come to us but this isnt all dealers of course,best thing to do is give them ago
Courtesy car wasn't an issue with me as it was a no fault accident - my courtesy CLK Cabrio was paid for by the muppet that hit me. However if I had wanted a courtesy car, the bodyshop would have provided one - but it would have been a Peugeot 107 or something, so the CLK seemed a better deal!
they have no say however if you get it repaired in your own place i belive you can lose perks like a loan car and so on while yours is being repaired
Yup for sure Pete, been down this road with my wifes car and they told us that we could obtain other quotes if we wanted? Which we did and qoutes obtained from our local body shop were cheaper!! I was lead to believe at the time that current law states that you are free to choose your own repairer?But this may change in 2010 something to do with the EU!!??
Exactly, you can indeed choose a repairer, but the insurance co still has to approve the quote. Mine quoted reasonably high, and the insurance co were still happy - plus I got my front spoiler painted FOC as part of the deal. Win win
Its amazing to hear other people's experiences of both Audi Dealers and also insurance companies. I must have stumbled on the best combination going because I havent come across any of the problems that others have. My dealership must be due the "Best Dealership" Award!! Right from day 1 when I walked into the showroom to look at the S3 their service has been second to none. I wanted to test drive a S3 but they didnt have one, so they bought one into stock. After I ordered my car, they kept me informed of the build progress every few weeks. Then when the car was due to arrive at the dealer, they allowed me to see it. I happened to turn up as it was being unloaded. The day that I collected the car I had the full red carpet treatment - champagne, bouquet of flowers, everything. And then ever since everything about owning the S3 has been a total joy. The car has been repaired twice now by them and the repair is totally impeccable. A friend of mine also owns a bodyshop and does my classic car paintwork and has said that you could not beat the quality and finish. The insurance company that I have has also never questioned using the main dealer for the repairs. While my car has been in for repair I have always been given either equal or better cars - once an S3 - all paid for by the insurance company. So all in all it would appear that my experience differs somewhat to others as far as insurance and main dealers are concerned!

The day that Rio learnt to pull himself up was the day that he fell out his cot. Every milestone is a suprise to a first time parent, but nothing is more suprising that seeing your baby fall and not being able to do anything about it. It seemed to happen in slow motion. I ran as fast as my legs would allow and I didnt even get close. Luckily Craigs legs went faster and he managed to catch Rio's foot CM's before his head hit the ground. He got a graze on his arm but it could of been worse, so…

In mummyworld you have to multitask if you want to get anything done. Around 2.30 i know that Rio wanting a bottle is going to mean a nap for a few hours. I know that if i want to get anything else done before Craig gets in from work it needs to be in the few minutes while that bottle cools/warms. Because after that, i let Rio doze away on my lap while i relax and watch abit of tele.

Is it farther or further?
"manumitted slave," c.1600, from past participle of free (adj.) + man (n.). Also cf. freeman.
former slave set free. In ancient Athens, former slaves bore no stigma, and some rose to positions of political or economic power. During the later Hellenistic period, however, some Greek communities passed laws providing separate regulations and restrictions for former slaves. To the Greeks citizenship was a hereditary privilege and thus barred to freedmen, but under Roman law a manumitted slave might become a citizen if the proper legal form was followed, although he did not enjoy full civic rights. In Carolingian times the descendants of a freedman could claim the rights of the freeborn only after three generations had passed

Former Boyd Coddington rig driver, car handler and all around Goodguy Frank Pete Peterson lost his battle with cancer over the weekend and passed on. He was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
Peterson was a fixture in the hot rod scene for the last two and a half decades. He was a loyal employee of Hot Rods by Boyd for so many years. His warm smile and quick wit were a welcome sight at Goodguys events. He always knew where to find the cold beer, an extra parking pass and a kiss & hug from the prettiest girls at the show.
"Petey" as he was lovingly known will be missed big time. R.I.P. brother.

Actual Proof - Callin' Me
Artist: Actual Proof
Featuring: Median
Producer: E. Jones
Album: Black Boy Radio
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 4 votes )
Do you hear that? Low-frequency hum, kinda like a faraway hive of bumblebees? That's the sound of tuned-in hip-hop heads buzzing over the new, DJBooth.net-sponsored street album from North Carolina duo Actual Proof. For those not quite ready to join in the chorus, we present one last leak off the freshly-released project. On Callin Me, a chilly, headphone-ready beat by E. Jones set the mood as Enigma and Sundown survey the "long road" that still lies between them and hip-hop superstardom. In contrast to the headliners' iron-clad focus on their grind, fellow First in Flight State representative Median lets his mind—and his eyes—want on his poetically lecherous guest 16: "Oldie but goodie, chocolate pudding / Should she walk past, I'm lookin' at her ass.." Los Angeles crooner Bluu Suede rounds out the lineup, tying the track together with his glittering vocal harmonies on the hook. So, has this joint convinced you to hop on the Actual Proof bandwagon? Then drop whatever you're doing and click here to stream/download the duo's freshly-released Still Hotter Than July LP.

text: Arizona mayor opposes razor wire on border fenceBy Matthew Casey, Special to CNNUpdated 2001 GMT (0301 HKT) July 15, 2013A proposal to put razor wire atop parts of the border fence near Nogales, Arizona, shown here in 2010, faces opposition. Story highlightsRazor wire could be placed atop the border fence near Nogales, ArizonaThe area is considered part of the Border Patrol's Tucson SectorThe Tucson Sector is a major drug and human trafficking corridorMayor, a Nogales native, serves on Southwest Border Task ForceAn Arizona mayor is comparing a Border Patrol proposal to put razor wire on portions of the U.S.-Mexico border fence to building the Berlin Wall."We've had a black eye because everybody is using the border as a political issue," Nogales Mayor Arturo Garino said.The proposal, according to Garino, would put concertina wire on top of the 20-foot-high fence to the east and west of town."Tucson Sector Border Patrol is considering a proposed deployment of concertina wire in the Nogales area," Border Patrol spokesman Brent Cagen wrote in an e-mail. "Currently this proposal is still under review. Specifics concerning this proposal are unavailable at this time."Should the U.S. be more like Mexico?Nogales is a major trade hub on the border, abutting the Mexican state of Sonora. It is considered part of the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector, which consists of 262 miles stretching from the Arizona-New Mexico border to Yuma County, near Lukeville.Just WatchedThe push for immigration overhaulreplayMore Videos ...The push for immigration overhaul 01:18PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedAgreeing to disagree on immigrationreplayMore Videos ...Agreeing to disagree on immigration 02:09PLAY VIDEOGarino, a former law enforcement officer and member of the Southwest Border Task Force, praised the Border Patrol for the "tremendous" decrease in drug and human trafficking in southern Arizona. But he said that adding razor wire will negatively affect international trade."I strongly believe we don't need it," he said. "It's an eyesore. It's a dangerous thing. We need to build relations with Sonora and Mexico. Let's become a power in the world economy."Victor Brabble, public affairs manager for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said Garino's concerns will be taken into account before a final decision is made."We are consulting with community leaders to evaluate the economic, environmental, political, and social implications our proposals may have on the communities we serve," he wrote in an e-mail.House GOP split over immigration reformNogales City Councilman John Doyle, a Nogales native, echoed Garino's opposition to the proposal and said he was shocked to learn about it. "We've always been the home of the brave, and now we are living in fear," he said.Nogales officials will meet with Homeland Security personnel this week to continue reviewing the proposal, which is being considered as a deterrent to would-be illegal crossers, Garino said."Right now, it's a proposal," he said. "But if somebody says 'yes,' it's going up."Garino also grew up in Nogales and said he thinks the best deterrent is increased manpower. Agents should be reassigned from checkpoints and interior bases to the border, he said."Bring the Border Patrol to the border and have them do their jobs."

Sunday Salons 2015
Please join us for wine, cheese and mind-opening presentations once per month on Sundays at 2 pm. Tickets are $9 per person or $7 for members of either the Thomas Cole site or Olana. Tickets can be obtained in advance using the buttons below, or at the door.
The Thomas Cole National Historic Site has been presenting its annual Sunday Salon series for ten years, bringing today's most creative thinkers to the home of Thomas Cole for lively conversations on topics relating to the Hudson River School of art. To begin our second decade, the 2015 schedule will focus on connections to the immediate present, in conjunction with an unprecedented exhibition of contemporary art, River Crossings: Contemporary Art Comes Home, that opens in May 2015 at both the Thomas Cole site and Olana. The schedule below includes three artists from the show.
February 15
Thomas Nozkowski
Known for richly colored and improvisational abstract paintings, this Hudson Valley based artist paints from personal experience and like Thomas Cole, draws inspiration from walks in the woods. Nozkowski has had 70 one-person shows and his work is in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Phillips Collection, the Morgan Library, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art among many others. The artist is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the National Academy of Design and is a Guggenheim Fellow. He is Professor of Fine Art at the Mason Gross School of the Arts of Rutgers University.
Online ticket sales for the February Salon are now closed. Please purchase tickets at the door starting at 1:30 pm.
March 15
Elyn Zimmerman
Elyn Zimmerman is widely regarded as one of today's most important sculptors working in stone and is best known for her large scale, site-specific projects. Inspired by archeological sites in India in 1977, she began creating temporary outdoor works at places including the 1980 Winter Olympics, Lake Placid, NY. Her public commissions are installed all over the world and include a fountain in New York City to memorialize the World Trade Center bombing. Zimmerman taught university level art classes from 1974 to 1986 in California and New York.
April 12
Stephen Hannock
Artist and co-curator, River Crossings: Contemporary Art Comes Home
Called "the consummate landscape painter" and "a true American luminist," Stephen Hannock began his artistic career near the site of Thomas Cole's famous 1836 painting, the Oxbow. Cole and Frederic Church have been a reference point for Hannock, whose use of the canvas as a storytelling medium and virtuosic use of light make him an heir to the artists of the Hudson River School. Join Hannock, co-curator of our upcoming exhibition, for a sneak preview of River Crossings, and an insider's look at how contemporary artists continue to be inspired by both 19th-century American landscape painters, and the landscape they celebrated.
The 2015 Sunday Salons are supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Announcing the 2015 Exhibition
River Crossings: Contemporary Art Comes Home
Opening May 3, 2015
We are excited to announce our 2015 exhibition, River Crossings: Contemporary Art Comes Home, presented in partnership with Olana, featuring contemporary art installed directly into the historic spaces and landscapes of the two historic sites. The exhibition is curated by the artist Stephen Hannock and Jason Rosenfeld, PhD. Artists in the exhibition include Chuck Close, Will Cotton, Gregory Crewdson, Lynn Davis, Jerry Gretzinger, Don Gummer, Duncan Hannah, Stephen Hannock, Valerie Hegarty, Angie Keefer with Kara Hamilton and Kianja Strobert, Charles LeDray, Maya Lin, Frank Moore, Elizabeth Murray, Rashaad Newsome, Thomas Nozkowski, Stephen Petegorsky, Martin Puryear, Cindy Sherman, Sienna Shields, Kiki Smith, Joel Sternfeld, Letha Wilson, and Elyn Zimmerman, in addition to selected works by Thomas Cole and Frederic Church from the permanent collections. A fully-illustrated companion book will be published by The Artist Book Foundation and will include entries by Rosenfeld on all the artists and works, and reflections by such preeminent writers and historians as Maurice Berger, Ken Burns, Adam Gopnik, and Marvin Heiferman. The works in the exhibition represent a wide range of styles and a broad diversity of artists, but the artists all have a connection to the region that Cole and Church helped ignite as a hot-bed of innovative contemporary American art: from Greater New York City to Lake George and from Niagara Falls to Massachusetts. The exhibition reflects the co-curators' choice of art and artists to participate in that continuing conversation.
Visit the official exibition website.
Members' Preview: Saturday May 2
Public Opening: Sunday May 3
Curator's lecture: Sunday May 17, 2 pm
This exhibition is supported by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, and by New York State's Empire State Development and the I ♥ NY Division of Tourism under Governor Andrew Cuomo's Regional Economic Development Council Initiative. The companion book and public programs are supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The exhibition and the accompanying book have been generously supported by Caroline and Tiger Williams.

Hi everyone! March is here, and that means it's time for our annual Spring Fever promotion with discounts for PlayStation Plus members on hot new digital-only games each week. This year, Spring Fever is going to last eight weeks – that's twice as long as last year – with new PS4 games launching each week.
Hello everyone! I'm Laurent Mercure, community manager at Frima. Last fall, we launched our latest game, Chariot, on PS4, and we were thrilled to have the PlayStation community embrace it! With Chariot, we wanted to make a game that was accessible and that players of different skill levels could play together and have a good time. My colleague Phil explained his vision in a previous post: Chariot, Bringing Gamers Together.
Hey everyone! We're only a few days away from the arrival of Shiftlings on PS4 March 3rd, and to celebrate, we thought we'd share with you a few of the devious inspirations behind the creation of some of the game's various worlds and bonus levels!
Do you remember the good ol' days when you built castles and fortresses? Then imagining your castle's defenses attacked by the armies of darkness in the ultimate battle of good versus evil?
It's almost one year since we announced that forma.8 was coming to PS4 and PS Vita on PlayStation.Blog, so it's time for an update, isn't it? In the announcement we shared a "late 2014" as a tentative release date and, as you can see since the game is still not available we, err… missed it, plain and simple.
For many that have completed The Evil Within, the mysteries surrounding Sebastian's partner, Juli Kidman, are among the most discussed plotlines in the game. These questions (and perhaps some new ones…) will arise in Part 1 of Kidman's DLC adventure: The Assignment.

Toss in a dessicant pack as well. I dont have mine sealed but its not a bad idea

Hmmm, I might have to try this out. I use my foodsaver all the time when I process game during hunting season, but never though about using it to store ammo long term. You could probably save the desiccant pack by using foodsaver then storing those in a military ammo box.
Usually I can get ammo cans for $7-10 each. I store primers and reloads.

I have a Food Saver I use all the time for food. LOL I never keep any ammo long time. I don't have enough stockpiled up that I don't shoot and replace with some regularity.
Make sure you use a NEW desiccant pack. The ones that come in a box of shoes you just bought (or any other item you purchased) are used up. They have already absorbed the moisture they are supposed to. You can purchase new form shipping supply places (Uline). They must be stored in an air tight container before you use them

I have a Toshiba DVD Recorder &VCR which used to record analogue TV programs. Is it possible to record Digital TV programs with it? It plays DVDs and VCRs quite OK. This isn't strictly 'computers', I realise, but am lost as to where to look for an answer.

I suspect that the Toshiba has a SCART , not HDMI output. Inside the tuner is analogue - now out of date. A set top box effectively becomes the tuner for the Toshiba. If there is an input SCART or HDMI on it you could, theoretically , get it to record from your television but there does not seem much point, and it means you have to programme the TV to output the channel you want - maybe whist you are out. In the end ,costly qas it may be, it is worth getting a digital DVD / HD recorder. If your TV has a SCART connector you should be able to watch VCR output.

Critical Infrastructure Protection:
Current Cyber Sector-Specific Planning Approach Needs Reassessment
GAO-09-969: Published: Sep 24, 2009. Publicly Released: Oct 28, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The nation's critical infrastructure sectors (e.g., energy, banking) rely extensively on information technology systems. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued guidance in 2006 that instructed lead federal agencies, referred to as sector-specific agencies, to develop plans for protecting the sector's critical cyber and other (physical) infrastructure. These agencies issued plans in 2007, but GAO found that none fully addressed all 30 cyber security-related criteria identified in DHS's guidance and recommended that the plans be updated to address it by September 2008. GAO was asked to determine the extent to which sector plans have been updated to fully address DHS's cyber security requirements and assess whether these plans and related reports provide for effective implementation. To do this, GAO analyzed documentation, interviewed officials, and compared sector plans and reports with DHS cyber criteria.
Although DHS reported many efforts under way and planned to improve the cyber content of sector-specific plans, sector-specific agencies have yet to update their respective sector-specific plans to fully address key DHS cyber security criteria. For example, of the 17 sector-specific plans, only 9 have been updated. Of these 9 updates, just 3 addressed missing cyber criteria, and those 3 involved only a relatively small number (3 or fewer) of the criteria in question. Recently DHS issued guidance specifically requesting that the sectors address cyber criteria shortfalls in their 2010 sector-specific plan updates. Until the plans are issued, it is not clear whether they will fully address cyber requirements. Accordingly, the continuing lack of plans that fully address key cyber criteria has reduced the effectiveness of the existing sector planning approach and thus increases the risk that the nation's cyber assets have not been adequately identified, prioritized, and protected. Most sector-specific agencies developed and identified in their 2007 sector plans those actions--referred to by DHS as implementation actions--essential to carrying out the plans; however, since then, most agencies have not updated the actions and reported progress in implementing them as called for by DHS guidance. Specifically, in response to 2006 guidance that called for agencies to address three key implementation elements (action descriptions, completion milestones, and parties responsible), most sectors initially developed implementation actions that fully addressed the key elements. However, while 2008 guidance called for implementation actions to be updated and for sector reports to include progress reporting against implementation action milestone commitments, only five sectors updated their plans and reported on progress against implementation actions. DHS attributed this in part to the department not following up and working to ensure that all sector plans are fully developed and implemented in accordance with department guidance. The lack of complete updates and progress reports are further evidence that the sector planning process has not been effective and thus leaves the nation in the position of not knowing precisely where it stands in securing cyber critical infrastructures. Not following up to address these conditions also shows DHS is not making sector planning a priority. Further, recent studies by a presidential working group--which resulted in the President establishing the White House Office of Cybersecurity Coordinator--and an expert commission also identified shortfalls in the effectiveness of the current public-private partnership approach and related sector planning and offered options for improving the process. Such options include (1) prioritizing sectors to focus planning efforts on those with the most important cyber assets and (2) streamlining existing sectors to optimize their capacity to identify priorities and develop plans. Given this, it is essential that DHS and the to-be-appointed Cybersecurity Coordinator determine whether the current process as implemented should continue to be the national approach and thus worthy of further investment.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, DHS determined that the existing sector-specific planning process, in conjunction with other related efforts planned and underway, should continue to be the nations' approach. The department undertook a review in 2009 that included meeting with key stakeholders to determine whether the existing sector-specific planning process was effective and should be continued. Based on these efforts, DHS, along with government and industry stakeholders, decided to continue the existing process, but to do so in conjunction with other critical infrastructure protection efforts. These efforts include, for example, DHS initiating and engaging in a cross-sector initiative to develop a risk management plan that is to be used, along with the sector specific plans, to address identified risk reduction opportunities for cyber and other infrastructure. In addition, DHS established and operates a Cross-Sector Cyber Security Working Group that has initiatives underway to improve cybersecurity information sharing among the different industry sectors and to develop methods to measure the effectiveness of sector cybersecurity efforts.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Homeland Security, consistent with any direction from the Office of the Cybersecurity Coordinator, should assess whether the existing sector-specific planning process should continue to be the nation's approach to securing cyber and other critical infrastructure and, in doing so, consider whether proposed and other options would provide more effective results.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, DHS met and worked with the 9 sector specific agencies and the 18 critical infrastructure (CIP) sectors with the goal of making sure sector plans fully addressed the cyber-related criteria detailed in DHS's guidance. As a result, the updated sector plans issued in 2010 by the agencies in conjunction with their sector counterparts more thoroughly addressed DHS's cyber-related criteria. For example, the postal and shipping sector, which had fully addressed 21 of the 30 criteria in its earlier plan we reviewed, fully addressed the remaining 9 criteria in its 2010 plan. In addition, the water sector fully addressed the 6 criteria it had not in its earlier plan we reviewed. With regard to the sector annual reports (SARs), the sector specific agencies in conjunction with their sector counterparts developed and issued SARs in 2010 that included (1) updated implementation actions and associated milestones and (2) sector progress against the actions and milestones. For example, in its 2010 SAR, the nuclear sector reported how it had updated its implementation actions to include establishing a key action and milestones to improve cybersecurity across the sector. The sector also reported in its SAR the progress that it had made thus far with this and other key actions. In addition, the public health and healthcare sector reported in its 2010 SAR how it had updated its implementation actions to include the development of a 2010 strategic plan to strengthen the cybersecurity of the organizations involved in the sector and reported progress in doing so, including establishing a cybersecurity working group to facilitate, among other things, implementation of the strategic plan.
Recommendation: If the existing approach is deemed to be the national approach, the Secretary should make it, including the cyber aspects, an agency priority and mange it accordingly. This should include collaborating closely with other sector-specific agencies to develop (1)sector-specific plans that fully address cyber-related criteria in the next release of the plans, and (2)sector annual reports that (i) include updated implementation actions and associated milestones and (ii) report progress against plan commitments and timelines.

If you haven't seen the piles of panettone around the shop, you may not know that we recently received a large shipment of holiday treats from Italy. Along with all the breads, cakes, and other sweets came traditional savoiardi. These crisp Italian ladyfingers from Dolceria Donna Elvira in Modica, Sicily are the perfect building block for tiramisu! After a quick jaunt around the shop I had all the ingredients needed for one of my favorite Italian desserts; except, of course the rum.

Beat the Heat with Iced Chai

After a winter that seemed like it would never end, we have finally made it to the hot and humid days of mid-summer. Somewhat ironically, these days I find myself coming back to the same drink that got me through that long cold winter – fresh brewed chai tea.
The phrase "chai tea" is actually redundant. Our word chai comes from the Hindi word for tea, and it turns out that most people across South Asia and the Middle East, and even most of China, use some variant of cha or chai for the word tea (the Hindi word chai comes from the Chinese "cha" (茶); however, in some southern Chinese dialects the same word is pronounced "teh," which is how we got the English word "tea" instead).

The first truffles of the season passed through my hands just days ago, and I could not resist. These redolent fungi captivate me and I needed my own magnificent mushroom to play with!
Weekends in Alba, Italy are abuzz this autumn with celebration of what has been reported as the best white truffle harvest of the 21st century. The climate was perfect – neither too hot, nor too cold – and the soil provided an impeccable environment for growth, with just the right amount of moisture. (more…)

In my house, no gathering with friends and food is complete without vermouth. On hot summer days, I love an Americano on ice to cool off and prepare my palate for cooking and eating. On chilly winter evenings at the end of a long meal, I love a darker style vermouth to settle a full stomach. Even as a wine lover, vermouths are some of my favorite drinks. Their complex, layered herbaceousness have just the right balance of bitter and sweet. Today, I wanted to talk about two of my favorite Italian vermouths: a classic dark vermouth from the House of Cocchi, one of the original Torino vermouth makers; and the other, a limited production white vermouth from chemist-turned-vermouth producer Mauro Vergano.

In July, we were very lucky to welcome Chef Chris Schlesinger to our classroom not once, but twice! First up, he taught an amazing "Seafood Grilling" class and was behind the grill a second time for "Grilling 101." Chef Schlesinger, of East Coast Grill fame, is co-author – along with John "Doc" Willoughby – of several grilling classics and is Valerie's annual challenger in The Great Westport Paella Tournament. This year (the fifth that the tourney has been in existence), Valerie let Chris win for the first time ever (sorry, Chef!). Friendly rivalry aside, we are big fans of Chris' food – he works the grill with hard-won experience and a natural intuition. The below recipe appears in Chris and John's book, Grill It! and was one Chris used in his "Seafood Grilling" class – he kindly gave us permission to share this glorious recipe as we savor the last days of summer!

Elfin Elixir: After getting all Mini Medal prizes from Cap'n Max, you can trade 5 Mini Medals for them. Also 1/256 drop of Cobra Cardinal. Lastly, alchemy: Elfin elixir = Yggdrasil leaf x 1 + Royal soil x 3 + Nectar x 5
Yggdrasil Leaf: gather from small island to the east of Gleeba, with blue tree. Rare treasure from grottoes.
Yggdrasil Dew: 1/128 drop of Bombuldier (Wyrmtail, Wyrmsmaw), Yggdrasil Dew = Yggdrasil leaf x 1 + Elfin elixir x 1
Mage's manual: reward for Quest #096 - Faerie Nearly There (sleep in Alltrades Abbey's inn with mage level 40 to get this quest)
Minstrel's manual: reward for Quest #102 - Prat's the way to do it! (got from ghost in Alltrades Abbey's bar, requires Minstrel level 40)
