About Kazakhstan
The Republic of Kazakhstan is situated at the heart of Eurasia and is the worlds 9th largest country. When Kazakhstan became independent in the unstable days of December 1991, few people thought the country would achieve as much as it did in its first 20 years. Instead of disintegrating, Kazakhstan's economy became one of the fastest growing in the world, and the country has built a robust political system of presidential and parliamentary democracy with its media and NGOs enjoying a growing voice and role in shaping the society.
Kazakhstan is located in the centre of the Eurasian continent and it's the biggest landlocked country in the world. The Republic of Kazakhstan is a unitary state with a presidential form of government, which gained independence on December 16, 1991.
As an independent state, Kazakhstan inherited both positive and negative legacies from the former Soviet Union. On the upside, Kazakhstan was a relatively industrialized economy with developed infrastructure, high levels of literacy, skilled and educated labour force.
The downside factors included a lack of traditions in democratic governance, no experience in living under a market economy, significant risks of domestic confrontations along ethnic, religious or ideological lines, terrible environmental problems brought about by the Soviet military programmes and careless management of natural resources.
Today Kazakhstan focuses all efforts at joining the world's 50 most competitive countries. In this regard Kazakhstan works strenuously at enhancing potential of local industry and exceeding opportunities for small business, improving life conditions of vulnerable groups of society, developing health service and educational system, and providing opportunities for realization for all people, despite gender, race, and religion accessories. At the same time the states concerns about ecology and conditionals of environment. That's why another challenge Kazakhstan has faced lately is the issue of the transition for "green economy" and conservation of natural resources and biodiversity.
In a short historical term - from the moment of gaining independence in 1991 GDP per capita has increased by 16 times - from 700 to 12 000 US dollars, which is a phenomenal result even in comparison with swiftly developing southeast countries – so-called "tigers".
Today, a multi-party system and more than 5,000 non-governmental organizations function in the country, reflecting political plurality and commitment to social stability. People from more than 130 ethnic groups and 40 different religious denominations live peacefully with each other in Kazakhstan, and none are discriminated against or abused.
According to the World Bank, Kazakhstan is now among the world's top twenty nations that are most attractive for foreign investments, and the presence of global companies such as Chevron, GE, British Gas, Samsung, Chinese National Petroleum Company and others is a vivid proof of that.
Kazakhstan has stable relationships with all of its neighbors. Kazakhstan is a member of the United Nations, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). It is an active participant in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Partnership for Peace program.
Kazakhstan's best known contribution to international security has been its voluntary renunciation of the world's fourth largest nuclear arsenal inherited from the former Soviet Union.
The country, whose people had experienced the full horror of nuclear tests, shut down the world's second largest nuclear test site on August 29, 1991. Recognizing the global importance of that decision taken by President Nazarbayev, the United Nations General Assembly in December 2009 declared August 29 an International Day against Nuclear Tests.

Photo card with wine motif
i didn't like the invitation design that came with the thank you cards because I wanted the invitation to be in the shape of a wine bottle as I saw on another site, but these cards complimented the invitations & kept to the wine motif of the wedding. The quality of the thank you cards were superb. This was an older couple simple home wedding & the cards fit right into the design simple, but elegant.

Loved the design!
We fell in love with this design and loved how easy it was to personalize it for ourselves. Only issue we had was that we had a limited space on the bottom, we wanted to add more information but it couldn't be done.
Wed invite
The invitations are well made and the address labels are a huge time saver. I'm very satisfied with the end result. Definitely get a sample so you know what you will be receiving and you can make any modifications you want for the final products based off any issues noticed with this sample. The only thing I didn't like was the interface for editing the invitation. The software must be old or the server is slow because it lags and makes the precise as slightly annoying.
Wonderful and shipped very quickly! I would definitely recommend this site to others.

Review of Juliette Has a Gun - Calamity J This is a 5-star, sexy, sultry, bad girl fragrance. If you like amber with a little bit of patchouli and a warm vanilla-ish dry-down, this is for you. Ambers and I, a never ending story of love, infatuation and desire. There are few and far between ambers I do not like. The reason why I was able to think I don't like it in the beginning, is that the top notes of patchouli are quite harsh and totally stern, stark and un-sweet. But not for long. Calamity J develops into something furry, soft, cuddly and purring, but sitting on a leather couch, maybe even wearing leather boots, gun holstered, but ready to pounce at any minute. Calamity J smells like Danger on its lunch break. Calamity J is my s

Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday January, 12
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday January, 12
JR O'Donnell
Arkansas -10.5
Our 6pm "Rock Play" as we see things getting ugly in the SEC opener @ Bud Walton Arena for a 6 p.m. tipoff. Arkansas (9-5) is coming off a bad bad loss in its SEC home opener at Texas A&M. Arkansas plays at an unreal pace on D end and they create tunovers... They are ranked # 3 in the nation in turnover margin. The Razorbacks are 17-9 against Vanderbilt in a series that began in the early 1960s. .. (6-7) Commes played the Mighty Kentucky Wildcats last game @ 60-58 loss and now Vegas spots them 10... WAY WAY TOO easy to grab a Commes team plus 10...POWER RATED by our camp @ - 15.32 points.... Commodores are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Arkansas.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday January, 12
DETROIT -2 over Utah
Great spot for the Pistons here. Not only is Detroit one of the hottest teams in the Association with seven wins in nine games (both losses came in OT), they catch the Jazz at precisely the right time. Utah's loss in Atlanta last night could snowball. The Jazz led that game throughout, had a 15-point lead late in the third and eventually surrendered the lead with about 90 seconds to go for good. They walked off the court demoralized and with their heads down. Utah now has to travel again to play their third road game in four days and final game of this trip. On Monday, they return home to play the Heat.
The Pistons played in Milwaukee last night and buried them by 16. That was on five days rest so they are certainly going to be the fresher club with more energy. Winning increases energy and right now the Pistons are feeling it. Detroit's starting five is rock solid and the bench is deep, outscoring opponents by an average of 20.7 points in the last nine games. This is a cheap price to pay for the better team at home in a very favorable spot.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday January, 12
Minnesota +7 over INDIANA
Talk about no respect and one need not look further than Tubby Smiths' Golden Gophers. Here's a team that is 15-1 and gets a fraction of the recognition Duke or Indiana gets. Two of the Gophers last three wins have come against Michigan State and Illinois and it's not like the Golden Gophers squeaked out a win. They beat that pair of ranked teams by a combined 29 points. Minnesota's SOS (strength of schedule) ranks 5th in the country while the Hoosiers rank 42nd. The Gophers get plenty of points to work with here in a game they can win outright.
Indiana is loaded with talent, no doubt about it. However, they have not looked that sharp over the past few games and it's going to catch up to them. They blew a double-digit lead on Butler in mid- December and did the same last week at Iowa. Between those two games, Indiana played a lot of cupcakes but that all changes here. This is too much weight to be giving the under-hyped Gophers. Tubby Smith will probably have a big "+7" on the chalkboard to stress how disrespected they are and to further motivate his guys. Upset possibility.
N.C. STATE +125 over Duke
This is actually one of our favorite days of the year to back some live pooches, as there is no college football to parlay today's NFL playoffs with and NBA starts much later. These early Saturday matchups will attract a ton of "parlay" money and the oddsmakers are fully aware of the extreme increase in volume today on these popular teams. This is by no means a knock on the Blue Devils. They're 15-0 for a reason and they're certainly a threat to win another National championship. However, there is almost always a premium to pay when wagering on the Dukies because of their immense popularity with the betting public. Throw in that this is the Blue Devils first true road game of the year and the makings of an upset is on high alert.
The Wolfpack are dangerous. They'll be amped up and raring to go in front of a packed house. They should've beaten this team last season and have an even better chance to do so this year. N.C. State leads the nation in field goal percentage, hitting 53% of their shots. They've been even better at home, connecting at a 56% while averaging 87 points per game. The Dukies are in tough here and in a game in which the dog has just as good a chance to win as the fave, taking the points or the money is the prudent choice. We'll go with the latter.
Auburn +132 over SOUTH CAROLINA
What most people are going to see is the 10-4 Gamecocks a small price at home over the 7-7 Tigers. What they're not going to see is that South Carolina has played one of the softest Division I schedules in the country, ranking 344 out of 347. The Gamecocks have not beaten a quality club all year long. When they played the Johnnies back in late November, they were buried by 24 points and followed that up with a 9-point loss to Clemson. There is a price to pay for scheduling games against marshmallows and Auburn collects it here, as USC might just be the SEC's weakest team.
Auburn is no threat to win anything this year but they've played a much tougher schedule than South Carolina, ranking 153rd in the country. There is also positive signs moving forward, as USC carries some momentum into this one. After losing by just a deuce at Illinois on Dec 29, the Tigers responded with back-to-back wins against Florida State and LSU. They bring that streak of three quality outings and two successive victories into this one. Gamecocks are usually ripe to get beat by a conference foe and this is one should be no different. Tigers outright.

Dave Price
Phoenix Suns +8.5
I don't trust the Bulls laying this many points as I believe they'll be in for a letdown following last night's big win over the Knicks. Chicago is 4-15 ATS in home games this season and 2-10 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season. It is also worth noting that the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take the points.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday January, 12
Jeff Alexander
Philadelphia 76ers +1
Philly has the big edge in terms of fresh legs. It has had 2 nights off to rest and prepare while Houston just played last night and will be playing its 4th game in 5 days. The Rockets are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games when playing without a day of rest.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday January, 12
NC State + over Duke
NC State has had some struggles this season which is not unexpected with a young but immensely talented team. NC State has rallied to win nine in a row including a few very solid wins over decent teams. NC State will certainly be up for the opportunity to take on the #1 team in the nation, especially after a slim five-point loss at Duke last season in the only meeting between these teams. Ryan Kelly will sit for Duke with a foot injury and Duke struggled without Kelly last season, losing two of three games in tournament play. Duke has played an impressive schedule in non-conference play but the Blue Devils have not played a true road game yet this season. Duke has won six neutral site games and obviously the travel is not significant but Duke could have trouble adjusting to a hostile environment for the first time. NC State has one of the most impressive offensive teams in college basketball; scoring over 81 points per game and shooting 53 percent and the Wolfpack are capable of delivering a minor upset and sending Duke to its first loss. The home team has won five of the last six regular season meetings between these teams and this is a great spot for NC State to play its best.

Houston Rockets at Philadelphia 76ers
Play; Philadelphia 76ers
The (21-16) Houston Rockets of the NBA Western Conference Southwest division will take on the (15-22) Philadelphia 76ers of the Eastern Conference Atlantic division in 2013 NBA action. The Rockets beat Philadelphia 125-103 earlier this season at home. The Rockets have dropped their last NBA games straight up and Against The Spread on the road. The 76ers have covered 7 of their last 10 Basketball games vs. Houston, but the Rockets have covered the last 2 meetings. Philadelphia gets the home cover.

SAN FRANCISCO (+14) over St. Mary's
In a game that on surface looks like a mismatch, we're actually getting some tremendous value with San Fran plus the points. First and foremost, St. Mary's comes in fresh off a hard-fought 83-78 loss to its bitter rival Gonzaga on Thursday night. That works in favor of San Fran since the Gaels have covered just six of their last 20 the game after facing the Zags. San Fran has also been very good in this series at the betting window, covering 16 of the last 22 meetings. In fact, San Fran is 27-12 ATS the last three years in Big West games and tonight they earn another cover against a St. Mary's team that will once again be in letdown mode after a tough game against Gonzaga. Take those points!

Green Bay +3 over SAN FRANCISCO: I know in the other thread that I created the Talk was about taking teams that can run and stop the run, but I will go against that theory here. One thing to look at here is experience and Rodgers has a big edge over Kaepernick in that department. Now GB Can't run the ball, but they can stop the run pretty well. If we take out the 3 games they had vs Petersen and the Vikes then the Packs has allowed just 102 ypg on the ground this year. The Packers did allow 186 yards on the ground to SF in the opener, but they are a bit healthier on defense than they were for that one. Overall the Packers defense is 11th in total defense and 11th vs the pass, while allowing just 21 ppg, which is also 11th. This is a tough defense that is just getting better as they have allowed 16.8 ppg in their last 6 games. The Niners offense is 11th overall and 11th in scoring (24.8 ppg). They are 4th in rushing, but just 23rd in passing and Collin was supposed to change that, but he hasn't. He has some solid numbers as QB, but not the experience of a playoff game yet and i feel that will hurt him here. San Fran does have a top notch defense, but I just don't see them stopping Green bay enough on defense or putting up enough of their own points to get the win here. Look for Green Bay to pull it out in the 4th.
Denver/ Baltimore Under 45.5: This Baltimore offense is just a mess right now and very inconsistent as well. Sure they score over 30 ppg at home, but on the road they have put up just 18 ppg and have scored 17 or less in 3 of their last 4 away from home. Despite scoring 30+ at home, they were able to muster just 17 points in a home loss to the Broncos, back in December. I expect them to have more problems vs a Denver defense that comes in ranked 2nd in the league overall, 3rd vs the pass, 3rd vs the run and 4th in points allowed (18.1 ppg). On the other side we do have a Peyton led offense that does score a bunch of points, but they also are a ball control offense that wears you down with long time consuming drives. That will eat plenty of clock here. The Baltimore defense has been playing better of late, allowing just 264.7 ypg and 15.3 ppg in their last 3 games and you can bet that they will look for a better showing than last time vs Denver. 51 points were scored in the earlier meeting, but I don't see this one putting up more than 40. Really just one team will be doing the scoring here.

Harvard -12 over DARTMOUTH: Last year the Crimson beat Dartmouth by 16 in both games and they should by at least that much in this one. Harvard is not the same team they were last year, but they are still very good and had a tough non-conference slate, which should have them ready for the Ivy League season. Harvard was really impressive with a two game road trip to the left coast as they beat Cal and then two days later lost by just 1 one point at St Mary's. Dartmouth has nothing on their resume that resembles that. The Big Green has faced just 2 BCS Schools on the year and lost both by 19 and 21 points. Recently Dartmouth lost at home by 16 to a 6-10 Colgate squad and they lost at Boston College by 21 points, while Harvard won their by 16 points. Dartmouth is just not a good team, while Harvard is a good team and has been battle tested. They should win this one by at least 20.
Duke/ NC State Over 149: Despite the fact that Duke is missing Ryan Kelly, I will look to take the Over in this one. NC State loves to run and they will certainly push tempo in this one. Duke has played very good defense of late, but I don't see that holding up here vs a Wolfpack squad that has averaged 81.3 ppg overall and 86.6 ppg at home. NC State has put up 78 or more in 8 straight games and they are currently on a stretch that has seen 6 games in a row put up 151+ points. The Wolfpack defense is not that strong and they come in allowing 69.7 ppg overall and 71.8 ppg in their last 6 games. Duke comes in averaging 79.3 ppg and even without Kelly they have more than enough offense to put up 75+ here vs this NC State defense, especially in what should be an uptempo game. This game should be a run and gun show from the beginning and could quite possibly put up 160 points.
Missouri/ Mississippi Over 152: This one should be a fun one, that should have the shot clock operator taking the night off. Ole Miss comes in averaging 83.9 ppg and they have scored 85+ in 4 of heir last 5 games and the one game they didn't they put up 81 points. Their home games have averaged 155 ppg, while their last 5 overall have put up 162.2 ppg. For Missouri, they have been involved in some high scoring games as well, as their last last 5 games have averaged 156.2 ppg. The Tigers come in averaging 78.9 ppg, including 85.6 ppg in their last 5 games. The defenses have been solid for both teams , but these offenses are on just too much of a roll right now to think they can be stopped. I look for this one in the 160's.

Houston Rockets vs. Philadelphia 76ers
Play: Philadelphia 76ers
Houston is in a terrible scheduling spot for this game. The Rockets will be playing their fourth game in five nights and they are also on a back-to-back road set after losing 103-91 in Boston last night. Houston has been terrible in their last two games as they lost both games as their offense scored just 79 and 91 points. They shot just 41.9% (65-155) from the field in those games while going an ugly 30% (18-60) from three-point land. Houston will be playing on tired legs tonight so we expect their offense to struggle once again in this game. Philadelphia comes in off a much needed 2-day break. The Sixers played a grueling 8-game road trip before returning home for one game and then hitting the road for a game in Toronto the following night. The Sixers now have two full days of rest for this game and they are catching a tired Houston team at the perfect time. "It is going to feel awesome," Jrue Holiday said when asked how playing at home with full rest is going to be. "I can't wait." Philadelphia is in an ideal spot to break their 5-game losing streak. We'll take the points with the rested and hungry home team, especially since their opponent is in a terrible scheduling spot for this game on Saturday night.

New Mexico St. vs. Idaho
Pick: Idaho
New Mexico St lost quality players like the 6-6 McKines (18.7-10.7), guard Larouche (11.9) and the 6-11 Rahman (9.9-5.8) from LY's 26-win NCAA team and comes into this game 9-8 overall (3-2 in the WAC). Sophomore guard Mullings (15.3-5.6) is the leading scorer but the Aggies' strength is their depth up front. Watson (10.8-5.2) is a 6-5 small forward with the 6-8 Sy (9.7-6.8), the 6-10 Nephawe (7.2-5.2) and the 7-5 Bhullar (9.5-4.7). However, Tshilidzi Nephawe underwent hand surgery in mid-Dec and is out indefinitely, putting a 'dent' in that frontcourt depth. Don Verlin is in his fifth season at Idaho and has taken the Vandals to the CIT three times (not exactly the NCAA or the NIT but it is postseason play). The Vandals have the 6-10 Barone (15.3-8.4) and 6-5 SF Madison (15.2-4.7), two players who should give them an excellent chance to take down the Aggies. NMSU is just 2-6 SU and ASTS on the road, beating only South Alabama (8-7) earlier TY and 5-9 Seattle just last Thursday, 83-82 in OT. After nearly knocking off Utah State five days earlier, the Vandals were stymied by Denver at the Cowan Spectrum on Thursday as they scored a mere 49 points. Idaho led at the half and held a 44-41 lead with just over three minutes left in the game, but couldn't close the deal. Verlin's team was able to beat New Mexico St's excellent team LY at this venue, so expect nothing less, here.

Explorers travel home after being roasted at Charlotte this week as once again their shooting (Galloway) was less than spectacular from three. Guard oriented offense gets relieve today as the front line for the Spiders has injury issues.

San Diego State -5
This was supposed to be the year for Colorado State and while they are much improved, they haven't played like a team bringing back the fifth most experienced club (in terms of starts) in the country. The Rams two road losses were both by nine points, one to a not very good Illinois-Chicago and the other to in-state rival Colorado. In the end, CSU is a pretty good middle of the pack school in a very good Mountain West Conference. San Diego State is very good and somewhat underrated despite being ranked. The Aztecs lost their opener in a rescheduled game on an aircraft carrier and by a point to Arizona in Maui. SDSU has won 11 of 12 in the series and is off a very flat effort against Fresno State. Expect a much more focused shoot-the-lights-out performance here in an easy double-digit points home win.

My 69-43-2 freebie run is on the line tonight, as I look to nail No. 7 of 10 with comp plays with South Alabama in Sun Belt play in Denton, Texas against the North Texas Mean Green.
I know North Texas has won three straight meetings in this series, but something tells me the better team in the Ratings Percentage Index is the play here, and should win outright.
South Alabama (8-7, 5-2) comes in after a momentous two-overtime win against Louisiana-Lafayette, 91-89, while North Texas (6-11, 1-5) lost on the road at Arkansas-Little Rock, 67-53. And I say momentous for the Jaguars because they rallied from a six-point deficit in the final three minutes, the largest second-half comeback by the team this season, to force the extra session.
I'm intrigued with the matchup between South Alabama's Augustine Rubit and the league's preseason player of the year, North Texas' Tony Mitchell, who ranks seventh in the league in scoring (14.6), fourth in rebounding (8.9) and second in blocks (2.5).
While Rubit's six-game streak with double-doubles came to an end Thursday with a game-high-tying 26 points and nine rebounds, he's still tied atop the league with nine double-doubles.
Though Mitchell has the home crowd benefit, Rubit is the type of player who will take over a game and silence any arena on the road.
The Jags have covered five of seven in Sun Belt action while the Mean Green are mired in ATS slides of 1-6 in league play, 0-4 on Saturdays, 2-5 at home and 1-4 overall. I'm playing the road pup, looking for an outright and counting on Rubit to lead the way.

Your Saturday freebie comes in ACC action, as I back the Seminoles at home over the Tar Heels.
Florida State has caught traction, as the Sems come into this game having won six of their last seven games, including a weeknight upset win at Maryland as State was able to stop a 13-game Terrapins winning streak.
North Carolina has really struggled with all of their departures, as Roy WIlliams' crew heads to Tallahassee having lost their last pair, including an ugly home loss on Thursday night to Miami-Florida.
The Heels are just 2-3 straight up away from Chapel Hill, and you should know that UNC has not fared well in recent meetings with Florida State, as the Seminoles own a two game series winning streak, and have taken four of the last six series meetings from the once-mighty Tar Heels.
This is Florida State's first home game since December 17th, so expect a rapid home crowd rooting their school on. There is no love lost between these schools, and any time you get a shot at North Carolina when they are in a down season, you better take advantage.
State to do just that today!
Back Florida State as the small home favorite.

A lot has changed since these teams opened the season at Lambeau Field with the 49ers winning a 30-22 affair, but what I don't think has changed much is the fact these teams will once again put points on the scoreboard.
My free play for Saturday is the Over in the Packers-Niners contest.
This will be the fifth meeting between the teams since the 2006 season, and all four of the previous meetings have landed Over the total.
Green Bay comes in off a 24-10 playoff win over Minnesota, and while the defense did shut the Vikings down, let's keep in mind that backup Joe Webb was quarterbacking Minnesota in that game. The week before the Pack did allow 37 in their loss at Minnesota!
The Green Bay offense finally has their receiving corps back and healthy, and they do come to Candlestick averaging over 30 points per game their last six contests. Expect the Packers to find the end zone in this game,
As for San Francisco, the 49ers have played Over the total their last four games, and seven of their last eight overall have also played Over.
Stick with the established series trends, and the offensive nature of the teams coming into this game, as the Packers-Niners head Over the total one more time.

UNC at Florida State
pLAY: UNC +4.5
UNC is off a bad home loss to Miami and lost at Virginia last Sunday. They are 0-2 in the ACC and have only started 0-3 in the ACC once. UNC's players have now experienced one home and one away ACC game under Roy Williams in 2013.
UNC has some talent in James McAdoo, who scores at close to 14 ppg while Reggie Bullock contributes on offense and defense. UNC has just one senior and that is Dexter Strickland, who failed to score on Thursday and should be motivated.
FSU lost at Clemson and seems to be average this year. They did lose to Florida Gulf Coast. They are led by Michael Snaer and beat UNC for the ACC Tournament title last year. The Tar Heels will look for revenge today.

Memphis vs. Dallas
Pick: Memphis
The betting markets have overvalued the Dallas Mavericks from Day 1 this year, and things haven't really changed since Dirk Nowitzki returned to the lineup following a two month injury absence.
Dallas has won a grand total of four games in the last month. Two of those wins came against Sacramento. One came against Washington. And one came against Philly, against a Sixers team that is on a 3-13 slide over the last month. In other words, the Mavs haven't been good enough to beat anyone but bottom feeders, yet they're being priced in a range where they'll need to beat an elite team in order to cash a winning bet tonight.
Memphis, on the other hand, has been an undervalued commodity since Day 1; a small market team without a marquee superstar. They've got the single best ATS mark in the entire NBA, and they've been at their absolute best in this 'short favorite' role: 12-2 ATS in 14 tries as chalk of 6.5 points or less. They're 4-1 ATS on the highway playing on the second night of back-2-backs this year, primed to close out their road trip with another comfortable victory here! Cheap price to lay with the vastly superior team! Take the Grizzlies.

Freddy Wills
Pepperdine +100
I think we get good value with Pepperdine being home here. Vegas had these two teams only a 1/2 point away just a few years ago when San Diego played Portland as a -6 favorite, one game before Pepperdine played Portland as a -5.5 at home. Both teams lost those games and then San Diego went on the road and upset San Fran as a +5.5 so here comes a let down spot against a Pepperdine team they beat three times last year. I view both of these teams on equal levels here and I think Pepperdine wants to get some momentum here after already facing BYU and Gonzaga in conference play. They get senior PG Lorne Jackson back after he missed last year and given what I saw in each teams game against a common opponent I think we are getting good value here. The home team is 17-6 ATS in their last 23 meetings.

Great news, animal advocates! Yesterday U.S. Reps. Tom Marino (R-PA), Jim McGovern (D-MA), John Campbell (R-CA) and Jim Moran (D-VA) reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, an ASPCA-supported bill to strengthen our federal laws against animal fighting.
While it's already a federal crime to actively participate in an animal fight, it's the spectators who drive the enterprise and make it profitable. This bill would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and impose additional penalties for bringing a child to a fight.
The Senate passed this bill in the previous Congress, but even with over half the House in support, Congress was unable to pass a final bill. Reintroducing this bill in the early days of the new Congress gives us an opportunity to build on the momentum from the last Congress and help finally close the federal loophole for animal fighting spectators.
Ask your own House representative to support this important humane legislation! Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly email your U.S. rep in Washington and urge him or her to cosponsor the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
Honestly why would people wanna support animal fighting. The animals have no voice in whether they wanna fight or not I think that Congress should pass the final bill think of all the harmless and innocent animals
Please place as many restrictions as possible on the cruel act of dogfighting. This includes spectators and especially people who would bring children to something like that. No child should have to witness something like that, and I believe it is a form of child abuse (in addition to animal abuse). Thank you!
Please stop animal fighting so much pain and suffering for human entertainment. So Inhumane and sad. Please please please!!
Cruelty should not be a spectator sport!
ANYONE with any involvement in such heinous acts as dog fighting should face the ultimate consequences.
This is 2013, if we allow people to be entertained by cruelty and by living creatures fighting each other to death, we will go back to the dark ages. No more animal fights, no more animal cruelty. Animals deserve respect, love and dignity, they feel pain and emotions just like we do and they are part of our world and living beings, just like we are.
This whole enterprise has to be stopped!!!

Payroll tax negotiations reopen: Are feds' pay and benefits safe?
Tuesday - 1/24/2012, 6:38pm EST
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Negotiations to renew a payroll tax cut for 160 million workers and jobless benefits for millions more kicked off on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, with both sides optimistic of an agreement despite last year's bitter battles over President Barack Obama's jobs proposals.
The House-Senate talks will focus chiefly on finding ways to finance the $10 billion a month cost of a 2 percentage point cut in Social Security payroll taxes that awards a worker making a typical $50,000 salary a tax cut of about $20 a week. Lawmakers also need to pay for the $45 billion or so cost of renewing jobless benefits for people out of work for more than half a year and the $20 billion a year cost of making sure doctors aren't hit with massive cuts to their Medicare payments.
Approaching deadline
Negotiators face a Feb. 29 deadline under a temporary measure enacted amid great acrimony just before Christmas.
The daunting challenge facing the negotiators is a cost of roughly $160 billion to extend the tax cut, jobless benefits and Medicare payments through the end of the year.
"We should be able to get it done," said top Senate GOP negotiator Jon Kyl of Arizona, who says last year's failed effort by a congressional deficit panel produced lots of proposals that can be used to "offset" the cost of the payroll tax measure. "The Joint Select Committee identified a lot of good offsets and so the opportunity for us to get it done is there."
"It's our job to work together here to make sure this tax cut doesn't expire," said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., the lead Senate negotiator. "We need to show we can rise above politics for the good of the country."
But given the remarkable dysfunction and acrimony surrounding virtually anything Congress does, there's no reason to assume the talks will go smoothly.
Senators indicate federal pay, benefits not on table
"It's not going to be easy finding these offsets," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., a veteran of the deficit supercommittee.
Senate defenders of federal workers — whose pension benefits and pay increases have been targeted by House Republicans for more than $60 billion in savings over the coming decade — are signaling they won't go along.
"I don't think it's the forum to take up these on federal workers," said Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., whose state is home to many federal workers.A group of 17 House Democrats sent a letter to Baucus today urging legislators to oppose further cuts to federal pay and benefits.
"Subjecting these dedicated public servants to additional pay cuts and retirement benefit reductions in order to pay for such expenditures as a payroll tax cut for all middle class Americans is unfair and illogical, particularly as the vast majority of federal workers are middle-income earners as well. Such cuts would also impede the federal government's efforts to recruit and retain the best and brightest individuals," according to the letter.
The National Treasury Employees Union also criticized further cuts to federal paychecks, as part of testimony before a House Oversight and Government subcommittee on federal retirement benefits.
"Before other groups have even contributed a dime to deficit reduction efforts, some in Congress have returned to attack the federal pension system and attempt to squeeze an additional $65 billion in cuts from this middle class group of taxpayers," said NTEU President Colleen Kelley.
At the same time, Hispanic groups, a key Democratic-leaning voting bloc are battling against a House proposal to raise $9 billion by blocking illegal immigrants from claiming the refundable child tax credit. Key Democrats like Baucus have signaled they could accept the idea, however.
Another question is whether to shorten the eligibility period for extended unemployment benefits down from the current 99 weeks or allow states to test unemployment benefit applicants for drugs, as House Republicans would like. The House measure would shorten the jobless benefits eligibility period to 79 weeks, though the improving job market in most states means that the actual duration of benefits would be 13 or 20 weeks less than that under current law.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the negotiators should also take on dozens of tax breaks for businesses and individuals that expired last year, including a tax credit for business research and development, a deduction for state and local sales taxes and several breaks important to the energy industry. This $30 billion-plus package is a top priority of the capital's powerful lobbying community.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 17, 10 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Rice-Eccles Stadium (45,017) -- Salt Lake City, Utah.
Television: ESPN U. Home Record: Arizona 6-1, Utah 4-1. Away Record: Arizona
0-3, Utah 0-5. Neutral Record: Arizona 0-0, Utah 0-0. Conference Record:
Arizona 3-4, Utah 2-5. Series Record: Utah leads 19-15-2.
GAME NOTES: The Arizona Wildcats will try to fight their way back to .500 in
Pac-12 play this weekend when they face off with the Utah Utes at Rice-Eccles
A season of tremendous highs and devastating lows continued last week as
Arizona's high-powered offense posted a 56-31 win over Colorado at home. The
win puts Arizona at 6-4 this season, but came after a 66-10 rout at the hands
of UCLA. The win makes the Wildcats bowl eligible after a one-year hiatus last
season. The Wildcats made it to bowl games in three straight years before last
Utah could be on the outside looking in on the postseason with a loss in this
matchup. The Utes lost 34-15 on the road to Washington last weekend to fall to
4-6 overall and 2-5 in league play. If Utah is unable to earn a bowl invite it
would end a program record nine-season streak of bowl appearances.
Last season was Utah's first in the Pac-12 and when the Utes met up with
Arizona for the first time as conference foes, they pulled out a 34-21 win on
the road. With the win, Utah has a 19-15-2 advantage in the all-time series.
The up and down theme to Arizona's season has largely been a symptom of the
high-octane offense that head coach Rich Rodriguez has put into place in his
first season. The Wildcats have had games where their offense is virtually
unstoppable. Arizona is behind only No. 1 Oregon in total offense (526.0 ypg)
and scoring offense (37.9 ypg) this season.
It didn't matter at all for Arizona last weekend that starting quarterback
Matt Scott was sidelined with a head injury, thanks to the play of running
back Ka'Deem Carey. Carey had his way with the Colorado defense posting a
Pac-12 and Arizona school record 366 rushing yards and five touchdowns. It was
the highest total rushing yards by a player at the FBS level this season.
After that performance Carey leapfrogged Kenjon Barner of Oregon for the top
spot in terms of rushing yards in the conference (1,381). Carey has also
scored 18 touchdowns, which trails Barner by just one for the most in the
Scott has been stellar this season under center, throwing for 2,848 yards and
20 touchdowns, while completing 62.7 percent of his pass attempts. In his
absence, B.J. Denker stepped in and played well. Denker completed 12-of-14
pass attempts for 136 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It has yet to be
announced whether Scott will be able to go on Saturday and if he does not,
Denker will again fill in.
With Carey taking care of most of the offense, it was a slow day for what has
been a productive group of receivers for Arizona. Chief among those pass
catchers has been Austin Hill. The sophomore wideout has hauled in 62 passes
this season for 1,023 yards and seven touchdowns, all team-highs. He is one of
only two receivers in the conference to have recorded more than 1,000 yards
thus far. Dan Buckner (57 receptions, 716 yards, 5 TDs) has been an effective
second option to Hill.
Due to the fact that its offense is constantly moving up and down the field at
such a rapid pace, the Arizona defense has had to play a ton of minutes this
season. The Wildcats are last in the Pac-12 in time of possession, averaging a
little over 27 minutes per game. That has given opponents plenty of
opportunity to pick up yards and points. The Wildcats are better than only
Colorado in both scoring (34.6 ppg) and total defense (491.9 ypg).
Tons of time on the field has meant plentiful opportunities to produce for
Arizona defenders. Jake Fischer has been one of the top contributors with a
team-high 90 tackles this season. Tra'Mayne Bondurant leads the team in
for loss (11.5), while Marquis Flowers is just behind with 11.0 tackles for
loss and a team-high 5.5 sacks.
Utah has not had nearly as much success on the offensive side of the ball as
the Wildcats. The Utes are currently ahead of only Colorado (310.8 ypg).
The biggest weakness for Utah has been the passing game as the Utes have
accumulated a conference worst 1,847 yards through the air this season. It
hasn't helped that there has been zero consistency at the quarterback position
not in performance but personnel. Jordan Wynn began the season as the starter
but stepped down after two games. From there Travis Wilson and Jon Hays have
been fighting it out to secure the starting gig. Wilson got the start against
Washington and really struggled completing only 8-of-23 passes for 55 yards
with an interception. Wilson has been the favored man under center as he has
appeared in all 10 games this season and has more completions, attempts and a
higher completion percentage (62.6).
For all the troubles the passing game has had, Utah can take solace in the
fact that tailback John White has returned to form. After a slow start to the
season White has put together a solid season with 761 yards and seven
touchdowns this season. He rushed for 142 yards and a pair of touchdowns
against Washington.
The reason Utah has been competitive is the defense. The Utes are the third
best defensive unit in the Pac-12 in terms of yards allowed (346.3 ypg) and
just behind that at fourth in scoring defense (23.2 ppg). Utah has done a good
job of keeping teams out of scoring situations, with only 31 of its opponents
possessions winding up in the red zone.
Utah is especially strong up front. Four different players have at least four
sacks this season led by Joe Kruger (6.0). Trevor Reilly has 4.5 tackles for
loss and a team-leading 57 overall. Star Lotulelei (33 tackles, 9.0 TFLs, 4.0
sacks) anchors the line inside.
Yet again it will fall to Utah's defense to keep the Utes in this game. That
is a tall task against an explosive offensive group like the Wildcats. If
Scott comes back healthy and Carey keeps it rolling that goal will be even
tougher. However Utah has played well at home (4-1) and the Wildcat offense
has not traveled well (0-3). The Utes should be able to steal a win.

The Pro/Am league is coming back again this year, except we're moving to Tuesday nights. The first league night will be Tuesday, March 13th, 2012, flying off at 6 pm. Cost is still the same at $6 and a $1 Ace Pot.
This will be Pro/Am format unless an odd number of players show up. If we have a mully man we will allow the Pro's 1 extra shot per hole, with Am's getting 2 shots plus short pads on 3, 8, 11, 13, 17, 18, and 3 shots on hole 16. I think this is fair for everyone that plays.
There are many ideas still being looked at to what we could add as a little extra incentive to come out and play, so if anyone has any ideas please mention them.
I look forward to seeing everyone out on the most beautiful and toughest course Louisville has to offer!

BamaJam re-loads, returns to Enterprise, Ala.

OXFORD, Ohio – Gary Russo's 10th-inning RBI double gave the Miami University baseball a dramatic 5-4 extra-inning win over Bowling Green on Friday night.
The knock capped a three-hit day for the sophomore and ended hopes of a BGSU comeback after it scored twice in the ninth to force extras. That victory moves MU to 21-24 overall and 11-8 in Mid-American Conference play.
The Falcons (20-21, 10-9 MAC) put runners at first and third with one away in the first. Brian Bien led off the game with an infield hit, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and advanced to third on a passed ball while Jeremy Shay walked to put another runner on. BGSU appeared to take a 1-0 lead when T.J. Losby lofted a fly ball to right field. Bien tagged from third and jumped over MU catcher Max Andresen to touch home, but on an appeal he was ruled to leave the base early and was called out to end the top of the first scoreless.
In the bottom of the frame, Miami put a runner into scoring position as Steve Sada led off with a single and stole second with one out. However, a fly out and strike out kept him from advancing any further.
After retiring the side in order with a pair of strikeouts in the second, Seth Varner got two quick outs to start the top of the third. Bien grinded out a long at-bat with a two-out single and an error put two aboard. Varner picked up his fielders by fanning Jeremy Shay to keep the contest scoreless.
BGSU drew first blood with an unearned in the fourth. Back-to-back singles by Trey Keegan and Patrick Lancaster put runners at first and third with one away. Varner froze Brandon Howard to pick up his fourth strikeout and get within an out of escaping the jam. The lefty induced a groundball to the left side, but the throw bounced and was unable to be scooped at first base. The error allowed Keegan to score, putting MU down 1-0.
John Crummy watched four pitches go wide to start the bottom of the fifth inning and moved up 90 feet on Matt Honchel's sacrifice bunt. After working the count full, Scott Slappey cracked a double into the left center field gap, tying the score at one apiece after five.
The Falcons moved the go-ahead run 90 feet from home in the sixth as Losby singled, moved to second on a wild pitch and was advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt. Varner zoned in by striking out Lancaster and Brandon Howard to keep the game tied 1-1.
The Red and White plated two runs with two outs in the bottom of the sixth. Russo kept the inning alive by ripping a single through the box while Andresen pulled a single to right that was misplayed by Jesse Rait. The BGSU right fielder then made an errant throw trying as both runners advanced an extra 90 feet, which allowed Russo to score on the play to give Miami its first lead of the night at 2-1. Crummy followed that by dropping a bloop single down the left field line to make it a 3-1 ballgame after six.
Bowling Green got a run back in the top of the seventh on Jake Thomas' two-out RBI single. Miami got the final out by cutting off the throw home and catching Thomas in a run down after Logan Walker touched home to cut the lead to 3-2.
Miami added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth when Max Andresen launched his second home run of the season, a solo shot over the 400-foot center field fence. That put the Red and White ahead 4-2 going into the ninth.
With the win of utmost importance, Sunday starter Ryan Powers was summoned out of the bullpen to pitch the ninth. Lancaster was hit by a pitch to start the frame, but Powers got the next two outs on a groundout and a strikeout to get within a batter of a series opening win. Rait put the tying run on base and brought the top of the lineup to the dish. Bien made the RedHawks pay by drilling a game-tying two run double down the left field line. Sending the game to extra innings tied 4-4.
After holding BGSU scoreless in the top of the 10th, Sada opened the bottom of the frame by lining a single just over the glove of Bien at short. Walsh dropped a sacrifice bunt down successfully to move him to scoring position and an intentional walk put runners at first and second with one away. That brought Russo to the plate and the sophomore roped a walk-off RBI double off the wall in left to give the RedHawks the win in walk-off fashion.
Neither starter factored in the decision as both Varner and BGSU starter Mike Frank tossed eight innings. Varner was masterful, fanning eight batters and holding the Falcons to two runs (one earned) on six hits while walking just one batter to lower his season ERA to 2.38. Powers recovered from Bowling Green's ninth-inning rally to toss a scoreless 10th and move to 6-3 on the season.
Russo (3-for-5 with a double) was one of four RedHawks to post multi-hit games. He joined Sada (2-for-5 with a run scored), Andresen (2-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored) and Slappey (2-for-3 with one RBI) with solid offensive efforts.
Game two of the three-game set pits Nathan Williams against Brett Fitzwater. First pitch at McKie Field is at 3 p.m.

Police are searching wooded areas around North Bend for a man who escaped the Monroe Correctional Complex this week.
Brandon Musto, 37, broke out by climbing a razor wire fence Wednesday evening. Pieces of clothing were found in the fence, as well as footprints around the perimeter, officers said.
Gone for more than 24 hours now, police said Friday they have credible info that Musto may have been dropped off near North Bend after his escape.
According to Debbie Willis with theMonroe Police Department, Musto was possibly dropped off near Exit 38 on Interstate 90, and then walked into the woods.
But new information indicates he was picked up in a vehicle later Friday morning.
Willis said police have no description of the vehicle and don't know which way it may be headed.
Search teams from multiple agencies are working together to scour the area.
A Grays Harbor County man admitted Thursday to helping Musto escape, but the inmate wasn't found with him.
According to court documents, Rupert Soriano, 59, was the only person Musto called while housed at the Monroe Correctional Complex.
Officers went to Soriano's house in McClearly after Musto had fled and found blood on the inside and outside of his car. Soriano initially denied the accusations, then admitted to picking up Musto outside the prison Wednesday night.
Soriano said he drove Musto to an unknown location.
Police said Soriano also admitted to helping to plan Musto's escape.
Musto was convicted of felony vehicular assault in Thurston County in 2011. He was scheduled to be released in three months.
Musto is described as:
--white male, 5-foot 8-inches tall, 180 pounds
--dark hair, brown eyes
--tattoos on his right arm & left wrist
--last seen wearing brown khakis, brown jacket, white undershirt
He should be considered dangerous. Anyone who sees him is advised to call 911.
KING 5's Lindsay Chamberlain and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Final Score: (15) Mississippi State 45, Middle Tennessee 3
Starkville, MS (Sports Network) - Tyler Russell threw for three touchdowns as
No. 15 Mississippi State hammered Middle Tennessee, 45-3, on Saturday.
Russell completed 17-of-21 passes for 191 yards for the Bulldogs (7-0), who
have won nine straight games dating back to last season and are 7-0 for the
second time in the program's 113-year history.
"I think he is getting more and more comfortable in our offense. He made some
tough reads tonight and I thought he played very well," Mississippi State
coach Dan Mullen said about Russell.
Chris Smith caught seven balls for 66 yards and two scores, while LaDarius
Perkins finished with 125 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in the victory.
The Bulldogs face another one of the nation's undefeated teams next week in
top-ranked Alabama, which is also 7-0 after rolling over Tennessee, 44-13, on
"Our guys are going to be excited for the opportunity to be able to go play
the No. 1 team in the country," Mullen said.
Logan Kilgore went 16-for-25 through the air for 159 yards with an
interception for Middle Tennessee (4-3), which fell to 0-14 all time against
teams ranked in the Top 25.
Anthony Amos paced all receivers with 93 yards on six receptions in defeat.
Mississippi State received the ball first and Smith highlighted a 14-play, 74-
yard drive that ate up over seven minutes of clock with a 22-yard reception
before capping the trek with a 4-yard touchdown grab in the back of the end
The Bulldogs regained the ball at their own 42 following a three-and-out by
Middle Tennessee and put together another meticulous drive to increase their
advantage when Devon Bell finished off the 11-play march with a 32-yard field
goal within the final minute of the first quarter.
Middle Tennessee managed just one first down on its next touch and Brandon
Heavens made a leaping catch down the left sideline for a 38-yard gain to move
Mississippi State inside the Blue Raiders' 20 on the ensuing possession, but
Bell missed a 35-yard kick wide right to keep it a 10-0 game with 9:46 left
in the half.
The Blue Raiders capitalized on the miss as Kilgore converted a 3rd-and-7 with
a 13-yard scramble and Jordan Parker reeled off runs of 19 and 14 yards to set
up Carlos Lopez's 32-yard field goal.
Mississippi State then advanced the ball past midfield trying to answer the
score, but Russell had the ball slapped out of his hands by Shubert Bastien
during a sack and Middle Tennessee recovered at its own 42, keeping it a 10-3
contest at the break.
Middle Tennessee kept the opening possession of the third quarter alive with a
4th-and-1 conversion thanks to an offside penalty on the Bulldogs that moved
the ball to midfield, but the Blue Raiders would manage just one more first
down and were forced to punt the ball away.
The Bulldogs responded with Perkins' 64-yard touchdown run up the middle to
stretch their lead up to 17-3 with 7:30 remaining in the third.
Three plays later, Johnthan Banks intercepted a deep pass attempt down the
left sideline by Kilgore and returned it 46 yards to the Middle Tennessee 25,
setting up Smith's 11-yard touchdown reception.
Banks injured his left knee on the play and did not return to the game, but he
remained on the sideline and was walking without a limp.
Kilgore again fumbled the ball away during a sack on Middle Tennessee's next
touch and Mississippi State capitalized on the short field with Robert
Johnson's 23-yard catch on the left side of the end zone on the next play to
put the Bulldogs on top, 31-3, late in the third quarter.
Dak Prescott replaced Russell under center for the fourth quarter and Nick
Griffin's 44-yard scamper down the left sideline on the Bulldog's first drive
of the frame preceded Prescott's 5-yard rush across the goal line to pull
Mississippi State further away.
Derrick Milton's 6-yard TD run capped a streak of five straight Mississippi
State possessions ending in a touchdown.
Middle Tennessee would not move the ball into the Bulldogs' territory in the
fourth quarter until the final drive of the game, but the Blue Raiders came up
empty as backup quarterback Jeff Murphy was picked off by Kendrick Market in
the end zone on the final play of the game.
"We just couldn't get anything going in the second half," Middle Tennessee
coach Rick Stockstill said. "I told the guys afterwards that I thought they
competed their tails off to the very end. We were just out-manned at times."
Game Notes
Banks' interception was the 16th of his career, tying a school record ...
Mississippi State has won 15 straight non-conference games ... The Bulldogs
lead the all-time series, 5-0 ... Prescott finished 3-of-4 for 24 yards ...
Parker had 66 yards on 13 carries ... Mississippi State totaled 446 yards of
offense, while Middle Tennessee finished with 305 ... The Bulldogs went 9-
for-12 on third downs.

Anna Netrebko and Matthew Polenzani star in one of the greatest comic gems in opera, as the fickle Adina and her besotted Nemorino. Bartlett Sher guides this lively production, where surface charm meets with real emotion. Mariusz Kwiecien is the blustery sergeant Belcore and Ambrogio Maestri is Dulcamara, the loveable quack and dispenser of the elixir. Maurizio Benini conducts. "What I love about Elisir is that you have the best of the glorious Italian comic tradition, but with characters of great depth. It is filled with enormous inventiveness and beauty, while the sense of proportion is exactly right. It's a masterpiece." —Bartlett Sher

Watch an interview with director Robert Lepage
Composer Thomas Adès conducts the Met premiere of his 2004 work, which has been widely acclaimed as a modern masterpiece. Director Robert Lepage recreates the interior of 18th-century La Scala, including the hidden workings underneath the stage, where Prospero, the banished duke of Milan, practices his otherworldly arts. Baritone Simon Keenlyside stars in the leading role, which he has sung to great acclaim in London. "The Tempest is an extraordinary, exquisite composition. The opera captures the magic of Shakespeare's last play. It is a box full of magic tricks, which makes it a gift for me and for the designers." —Robert Lepage

David Alden's dreamlike setting provides a compelling backdrop for Verdi's dramatic story of betrayal, jealousy, and vengeance. Marcelo Álvarez stars as the conflicted king; Sondra Radvanovsky is Amelia, the object of his secret passion; and Dmitri Hvorostovsky is her suspicious husband. Kathleen Kim is the page Oscar, and powerhouse mezzo-sopranos Dolora Zajick and Stephanie Blythe take turns singing the fortuneteller Ulrica. Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium.
"Un Ballo in Maschera is one of Verdi's greatest and most brilliant scores, with a variety of different colors. it alternates between the light and the intensely melodramatic. Verdi pulls it all together with unbelievable theatrical energy. Ballo is theatrical dynamite." —David Alden
Fresh from her triumph in The Enchanted Island, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato takes on the virtuosic bel canto role of the doomed Mary Queen of Scots. Having scored a major success with his production of Anna Bolena, director David McVicar now turns to the second opera of Donizetti's Tudor trilogy. Elza van den Heever sings Elizabeth I, and Maurizio Benini conducts. "Donizetti's Tudor operas are very different in tone, mood, and musical content. the romantic sweep of the Maria Stuarda score is the most purely bel canto of the three, and we wanted to honor that in what we see onstage—we're telling a vivid, dramatic story through music that glories in the possibilities of the human voice." —David McVicar
Michael Mayer has placed his new production of Verdi's towering tragedy in Las Vegas in 1960—an ideal setting for this eternal conflict of depravity and innocence. In his staging, Piotr Beczala is the womanizing duke of Mantua, with Željko Lučić as his tragic sidekick, Rigoletto. Diana Damrau is Rigoletto's daughter—and their victim. Michele Mariotti conducts. "I've tried to imagine a recent world that captures the decadence of the Duke's palace, where the participants are in pursuit of power, money, and beauty. Las Vegas in the '60s is such a world, where a kind of prankster energy could go bad—it's the epitome of the kinds of events that happen in Rigoletto." —Michael Mayer
François Girard's timeless new vision for Wagner's final masterpiece explores the many facets of this mystical score, while designer Michael Levine creates a surreal landscape. Jonas Kaufmann stars in the title role of the innocent who finds wisdom. His fellow Wagnerians include Katarina Dalayman as the mysterious Kundry, Peter Mattei as the ailing Amfortas, Evgeny Nikitin as the wicked Klingsor, and René Pape as the noble knight Gurnemanz. Daniele Gatti conducts. "Parsifal is not just an opera—it's a mission. At the end of his life, Wagner was trying to reconcile all the aspects of his spirituality. It's a sacred piece in the history of music." —François Girard
David McVicar's inventive production—a triumph at its Glyndebourne premiere in 2005—comes to the met. The Guardian praised the director's "witty, sexy, and tragic post-colonial framing of Handel's Caesar and Cleopatra tale," which incorporates elements of Baroque theater and 19th-century British imperialism to illuminate the opera's ideas of love, war, and empire building. Countertenor David Daniels sings the title role opposite Natalie Dessay (pictured) as the exotic Cleopatra. Baroque specialist Harry Bicket conducts. "Giulio Cesare is a kaleidoscope of an opera—a semi-comic, semi-tragic adventure story. you get romance, you get drama, you get moments of political wheeling-and-dealing, complex family relationships—as well as real emotion and tragedy. It's a miracle, and it has enabled me to express everything I feel is important about opera." —David McVicar

Improvements to how agencies buy goods, services bear out little fruit
Thursday - 9/20/2012, 3:27am EDT
In part 4 of Federal News Radio's special report, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years, we examine progress the administration has made in the acquisition arena. We rated one initiative as effective (green), three as ineffective (red) and two as more progress needed (yellow). View the details of each initiative through our interactive dashboard.

Small Business Contracting
Industry / Government Relationship
President Barack Obama put improving the federal acquisition process at the center of his management initiatives. Over the last three years, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy focused on three broad goals:
- Demonstrating fiscal responsibility - OFPP wants agencies to ensure competition, reduce the number of high risk contracts, such as time and materials and labor hours types, and improve the efficiency of their buying by, in part, moving toward strategic sourcing to take advantage of the government's size.
- Strengthening the acquisition workforce - The goal is to have a better trained and equipped contracting officers and contracting officer's representatives.
- Performance of inherently governmental and critical functions - Agencies have been reviewing the makeup of their contractor and employee workforces and figuring out the best balance of the two, paying close attention to jobs that should only be done by federal employees.
None of these areas are new. Under other administrations, OFPP's goals would have looked very similar.
The biggest difference, however, is the attention many of these goals received from the White House. And that's why the expectations, in some regards, were greater than ever before. At the same time, the attention to reducing agency budgets led to a more in-depth focus on better acquisition performance.
In part 4 of Federal News Radio's special week-long multimedia series, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the last Four Years, we focus on how the administration performed against many of their top acquisition initiatives.
The administration decided to dust off the idea that the government is one big shopper and not 130 medium sized ones as part of its Campaign to Cut Waste.
Other White Houses have tried and failed to get agencies to take advantage of volume discounts. But the Office of Federal Procurement Policy's push over the last three-plus years finally has resonated with agencies.
Former OFPP Administrator Dan Gordon on the benefits of strategic sourcing (interview)
Former OFPP Administrator Dan Gordon issued a memo in December 2009 detailing strategic sourcing as a priority.
The General Services Administration reenergized the office supplies contract and created a blanket purchase agreement for 15 companies. It also is moving print management, mobile devices and service plans and IT commodity hardware strategic sourcing vehicles.
On Performance.gov, OMB said the government is saving $40 million a year on office supplies, expects to save 30 percent off printing and copying costs, and expects to save at least $100 million on wireless devices by the end of fiscal 2013.
Additionally, several agencies the departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, Interior, Agriculture and the Air Force have issued memos requiring or strongly encouraging the use of the office supply BPA, meaning agency buy-in is stronger than ever before.
Congress also is seeing the benefits of strategic sourcing. Sens. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) co-authored the Acquisition Reform Bill in 2011 to require more robust use of federal strategic sourcing vehicles, which allow the government to consolidate its shopping lists and buy in bulk, rather than have each agency pursue its own procurements.
