Cyber defence
Against the background of increasing dependence on technology and on the Internet, the Alliance is advancing its efforts to confront the wide range of cyber threats targeting NATO's networks on a daily basis. The growing sophistication of cyber attacks makes the protection of the Alliance's communications and information systems (CIS) an urgent task.
- Cyber defence is part of NATO's core task of collective defence.
- NATO approved its first cyber defence policy in January 2008 following the cyber attacks against Estonia.
- NATO is responsible for the protection of its own communication networks.
- Nations are and remain responsible for the security of their communication networks which need to be compatible with NATO's and with each other's.
- Allies are committed to enhancing information sharing and mutual assistance in preventing, mitigating and recovering from cyber attacks.
- NATO is intensifying its cooperation with industry.
- NATO enhances its capabilities for cyber education, training and exercises.
More background information
Principal cyber defence activities
NATO Policy on Cyber Defence
In order to keep abreast with the rapidly changing threat landscape and maintain a robust cyber defence, NATO has adopted a new enhanced policy and its action plan, which was endorsed by Allies at the Wales Summit in September 2014. The policy establishes that cyber defence is part of the Alliance's core task of collective defence, confirms that international law applies in cyberspace and intensifies NATO's cooperation with industry. The top priority is the protection of the communications systems owned and operated by the Alliance.
The new policy also reflects Allied decisions on issues such as streamlined cyber defence governance, procedures for assistance to Allied countries, and the integration of cyber defence into operational planning (including civil emergency planning). Further, the policy defines ways to take awareness, education, training and exercise activities forward, and encourages further progress in various cooperation initiatives, including those with partner countries and international organisations. It also foresees boosting NATO's cooperation with industry based on information sharing and cooperative supply chain management.
The Allies have also committed to enhancing information sharing and mutual assistance in preventing, mitigating and recovering from cyber attacks. The new policy is complemented by an action plan with concrete objectives and implementation timelines.
Assisting individual Allies
While NATO's top priority for cyber defence is the protection of communications and information systems (CIS) which are owned and operated by NATO, the Alliance requires a reliable and secure supporting national infrastructure, in particular those national networks which may be considered critical for NATO missions. To this end, NATO works with national authorities to develop principles, criteria and mechanisms to ensure an appropriate level of cyber defence for national CIS. The Alliance will continue to identify NATO dependencies on the Allies' national CIS for critical Alliance tasks and will work with NATO countries to develop common standards.
NATO is also helping member countries in their efforts to protect their own critical infrastructures by sharing information and best practices, and by conducting cyber defence exercises to help develop national expertise. Similarly, individual Allied countries may, on a voluntary basis and facilitated by NATO, assist other Allies to develop their national cyber defence capabilities.
Developing the NATO cyber defence capability
The NATO Computer Incident Response Capability (NCIRC) protects NATO's own networks by providing centralised and round-the-clock cyber defence support to the various NATO sites. This capability is expected to evolve on a continual basis, to maintain pace with the rapidly changing threat and technology environment.
To facilitate an Alliance-wide and common approach to cyber defence capability development, NATO also defines targets for Allied countries' implementation of national cyber defence capabilities via the NATO Defence Planning Process (NDPP).
Cyber defence has also been integrated into NATO's Smart Defence initiative. Smart Defence enables countries to work together to develop and maintain capabilities they could not afford to develop or procure alone, and to free resources for developing other capabilities. The Smart Defence projects in cyber defence, so far, include the Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP), the Smart Defence Multinational Cyber Defence Capability Development (MN CD2) project, and the Multinational Cyber Defence Education and Training (MN CD E&T) project.
Increasing NATO cyber defence capacity
Recognising that cyber defence is as much about people as it is about technology, NATO continues to improve the state of its cyber defence education, training, exercises and evaluation.
NATO conducts regular exercises, such as the annual Cyber Coalition Exercise, and aims to integrate cyber defence elements and considerations into the entire range of Alliance exercises. NATO is also enhancing its capabilities for cyber education, training and exercises, including the NATO Cyber Range, which is based on a facility provided by Estonia.
The NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD CoE) in Tallinn, Estonia is the foremost NATO-accredited research and training facility dealing with cyber defence education, consultation, lessons learned, research and development. Although it is not part of the NATO command structure, the CCD CoE offers recognised expertise and experience.
The NATO Communications and Information Systems School (NCISS) in Latina, Italy provides training to personnel from Allied (as well as non-NATO) nations relating to the operation and maintenance of some NATO communication and information systems. NCISS will soon relocate to Portugal, where it will provide greater emphasis on cyber defence training and education.
The NATO School in Oberammergau, Germany conducts cyber defence-related education and training to support Alliance operations, strategy, policy, doctrine and procedures. The NATO Defense College in Rome fosters strategic thinking on political-military matters, including on cyber defence issues.
Cooperating with partners
Because cyber threats defy state borders and organisational boundaries, NATO engages with relevant countries and organisations to enhance international security.
Engagement with partner countries is based on shared values and common approaches to cyber defence. Requests for cooperation with the Alliance are handled on a case-by-case basis.
NATO also works with, among others, the European Union (EU), the United Nations (UN), the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The Alliance's cooperation with other international organisations is intended to ensure that actions are complementary and avoid unnecessary duplication of work.
Cooperating with industry
The private sector is a key player in cyberspace, and technological innovations and expertise from the private sector are crucial to enable NATO and Allied countries to mount an effective cyber defence.
Via the NATO Industry Cyber Partnership (NICP), NATO and Allies will work to reinforce their relationships with industry. The principal aim of the NICP will be to facilitate voluntary engagement between NATO and industry. This partnership will rely on existing structures and will include NATO entities, national Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) and NATO member countries' industry representatives.
The NATO Policy on Cyber Defence is implemented by NATO's political, military and technical authorities, as well as by individual Allies. The North Atlantic Council (NAC) provides high-level political oversight on all aspects of implementation. The Council is apprised of major cyber incidents and attacks, and it exercises principal authority in cyber defence-related crisis management.
The Cyber Defence Committee (formerly the Defence Policy and Planning Committee/Cyber Defence), subordinate to the NAC, is the lead committee for political governance and cyber defence policy in general, providing oversight and advice to Allied countries on NATO's cyber defence efforts at the expert level. At the working level, the NATO Cyber Defence Management Board (CDMB) is responsible for coordinating cyber defence throughout NATO civilian and military bodies. The CDMB comprises the leaders of the policy, military, operational and technical bodies in NATO with responsibilities for cyber defence.
The NATO Consultation, Control and Command (NC3) Board constitutes the main committee for consultation on technical and implementation aspects of cyber defence.
The NATO Military Authorities (NMA) and the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) bear the specific responsibilities for identifying the statement of operational requirements, acquisition, implementation and operating of NATO's cyber defence capabilities. Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is responsible for the planning and conduct of the annual Cyber Coalition Exercise.
Lastly, NCIA, through its NCIRC Technical Centre in Mons, Belgium, is responsible for the provision of technical cyber security services throughout NATO. The NCIRC Technical Centre has a key role in responding to any cyber aggression against the Alliance. It handles and reports incidents, and disseminates important incident-related information to system/security management and users.
The NCIRC Coordination Centre is a staff element responsible for the coordination of cyber defence activities within NATO and with member countries, and for staff support to the CDMB. It ensures the cyber defence liaison with other international organisations such as the EU, the OSCE and the United Nations/International Telecommunication Union (UN/ITU).
Although NATO has always protected its communication and information systems, the 2002 Prague Summit first placed cyber defence on the Alliance's political agenda. Allied leaders reiterated the need to provide additional protection to these information systems at the Riga Summit in 2006.
Following the cyber attacks against Estonia's public and private institutions in April and May of 2007, Allied defence ministers agreed in June 2007 that urgent work was needed in this area. As a result, NATO approved its first Policy on Cyber Defence in January 2008.
In the summer of 2008, the conflict between Russia and Georgia demonstrated that cyber attacks have the potential to become a major component of conventional warfare.
NATO adopted a new Strategic Concept at the Lisbon Summit in 2010, during which the NAC was tasked to develop an in-depth NATO cyber defence policy and to prepare an action plan for its implementation.
In June 2011, NATO defence ministers approved the second NATO Policy on Cyber Defence, which set out a vision for coordinated efforts in cyber defence throughout the Alliance within the context of the rapidly evolving threat and technology environment, and an associated action plan for its implementation.
In April 2012, the integration of cyber defence into the NATO Defence Planning Process (NDPP) began. Relevant cyber defence requirements are identified and prioritised through the defence planning process.
At the Chicago Summit in May 2012, Allied leaders reaffirmed their commitment to improve the Alliance's cyber defences by bringing all of NATO's networks under centralised protection and implementing a series of upgrades to the NCIRC.
In July 2012, as part of the reform of NATO's agencies, NCIA was established.
In February 2014, Allied defence ministers tasked NATO to develop a new, enhanced cyber defence policy regarding collective defence, assistance to Allies, streamlined governance, legal considerations and relations with industry.
In April 2014, the NAC agreed to rename the Defence Policy and Planning Committee (Cyber Defence) as the Cyber Defence Committee.
In May 2014, the full operational capability of the NCIRC (NCIRC FOC) was achieved, providing enhanced protection to NATO networks and users.
In June 2014, NATO defence ministers endorsed the new cyber defence policy, which is currently being implemented. The new policy and its implementation will be kept under close review at both the political and technical levels within the Alliance and will be refined and updated in line with the evolving cyber threat.
At the Wales Summit in September 2014, Allies approved a new action plan which along with the new policy contributes to the fulfilment of the Alliance's core tasks.
On 17 September 2014, NATO launched an initiative to boost cooperation with the private sector on cyber threats and challenges. The NATO Industry Cyber Partnership (NICP) was presented at a two-day cyber conference held in Mons, Belgium, where 1,500 industry leaders and policy makers gathered to discuss cyber collaboration. The NICP was earlier endorsed at the Wales Summit on 5 September by the 28 Allies. It recognises the importance of working with industry partners to enable the Alliance to achieve its cyber defence policy's objectives.
On 10 February 2016, NATO and the EU concluded a Technical Arrangement on Cyber Defence to help both organisations better meet this challenge. This Technical Arrangement between the NATO Computer Incident Response Capability (NCIRC) and the Computer Emergency Response Team of the EU (CERT-EU) provides a framework for exchanging information and sharing best practices between emergency response teams.

Trader to the Navajo – I had spent weeks at a time out on the Navajo Reservation hunting for antiques and old Navajo Turquoise Jewelry from 1970 – 1986. The Navajo Reservation was still very undeveloped at that time, however, the days of the old time Indian Trading Posts were coming to an end. A modernization movement was underway, schools being built, Trading Posts turning into 7/11 type stores and the Natives were being campaigned to upgrade thier lives into the 20th century.
I was interested in the old west and the cultures of the Navajo Indian people. I also had a Trading Post in Durango that I needed stock for so I often went out on the reservation to visit and trade with the Navajo people as well as the old Trading Posts that were going out of business one after another.
I have written a good story with photos and would love to share it with you, view Trader to the Navajo now.

Birth Place: East Los Angeles, California, USA
Born Feb. 24, 1947 in Los Angeles, Olmos grew up in Boyle Heights where he was inundated by drugs, crime and street gangs, but also a wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity not found in most suburban neighborhoods. Surrounded by family, Olmos had a colorful history; his maternal great-grandparents published a radical newspaper during the Mexican Revolution. Meanwhile, his mother, Eleanor, insisted that all her children be well-educated, and his father, Pedro - who earned his high school diploma at age 21 after leaving Mexico City to immigrate to the United States - worked as a slaughterhouse worker and welder. When he was eight, his parents divorced; it was a traumatic event that would have... Continue Bio >>

At 36 years old, Mike Pyle (23-8-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) ought to be in career wind-down mode.
But after more than 30 fights, and with back-to-back knockout wins, the UFC welterweight appears to be far from thinking about retirement.
"I feel great and just as good as I did when I was a young buck bouncing around in the gym," Pyle told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Pyle is coming off a "Knockout of the Night" win over Josh Neer this past weekend at UFC on FX 3. After a back-and-forth first round, Pyle dropped Neer with one punch – and Neer hadn't been knocked out in more than five years.
That win piggybacked on a first-round TKO of Ricardo Funch in hostile territory in Funch's native Brazil at UFC 142. With only a loss to Rory MacDonald this past August standing between him and a six-fight win streak, Pyle seems to have one of the hottest hands in the UFC's welterweight division.
"It felt good," Pyle said of the Neer knockout. "I've got two finishes in a row, and to finish Neer like that – nobody in the UFC has knocked him out and put him face down like I did. So that's really gratifying. … I do feel like I'm on the best run of my career."
Pyle said he's got one fight left on his UFC deal and has been in talks with his management team about what type of move might be best for him next.
But following his loss to MacDonald, Pyle's resurgence has him feeling perhaps more like a 26-year-old than 36. And that might be reason for other 170-pounders in the UFC to be on alert.
"I'm smarter about the way I approach things and smarter about the way I approach training and my career," Pyle said. "I'm like a fine wine – I just keep getting better with age. And until one day that I get out of bed and Father Time says, 'Knock it off,' then I'll listen to my body.
"But right now, my body's telling me to keep moving. I feel like a million bucks."

March 2, 2013
PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University dropped its regular-season finale 72-50 to No. 4 Stanford University at Beasley Coliseum Saturday.
Freshman guard Lia Galdeira, the top-scoring freshman in the country, led the Cougars (10-19, 6-12 Pac-12) with eight points and seven rebounds while freshman forward Mariah Cooks added six points and six rebounds. Stanford improved to 28-2 overall and 17-1 in conference play after shooting 42.9 percent from the floor and holding WSU to 28.9 percent from the floor including 1-of-14 from behind the arc. Junior forward Chiney Ogwumike led the Cardinal with 28 points and 13 rebounds.
Senior center Carly Noyes became WSU's career leader in games played, appearing in her 123rd career game, breaking Jazmine Perkins previous record of 122. Redshirt-senior guard Katie Grad appeared in in 118th career game to move her into a tie for third on WSU's all-time games played list with Rosie Tarnowski.
Noyes scored the first bucket of the game with a spin move on the left block but the Cardinal answered with a 12 straight points to build an early lead. Cooks and fellow freshman Taylor Edmondson answered with four straight points for WSU as Cooks scored on her own post move before Edmondson finished a fast break with a layup and a free throw after she was fouled on the play.
Minutes later, Washington State saw Galdeira knock down a baseline jumper and junior forward Sage Romberg followed with a pair runners in the lane to cut the Stanford lead to seven, 21-15 at the nine minute mark. Ogwumike and the Cardinal low post players countered with an 15-4 run to build a 35-19 advantage before WSU's junior forward Hana Potter closed the half by hitting a jumper from the top of the key at the buzzer.
Stanford owned a 35-21 lead the half after shooting over 48 percent and receiving 22 points from Ogwumike. WSU was led by Romberg and Galderia who each scored four points in the first 20 minutes.
The Cardinal opened the second half with a three and continued to extend their lead throughout the second 20 minutes. Freshman guard Dawnyelle Awa later hit a jumper from the right wing and Cooks connected on a turnaround jumper from the right elbow for the Cougars. Redshirt-junior guard Ireti Amojo capped WSU's scoring with a three from the left corner.
Stanford owned a double-digit lead throughout the second half and went on to post the 72-50 victory.
Washington State will head to Seattle next week for the Pac-12 Conference Tournament held at Key Arena. The Cougars will play in the Thursday's opening round against an opponent that will be announced Sunday.

Juan Martin del Potro + Andy Roddick both played their first matches since the US Open and both lost, though one of the losses is more worrisome than the other.
The current US Open champ, who was suffering from some jet lag and an upset stomach, was shocked by 189th-ranked Frenchie qualifier Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4, 6-4 in Tokyo. A-Rod, who won at Flushing Meadows back in 2003, suffered his second consecutive loss since being upset in the third round of the year's final Slam falling to the 143rd-ranked Lukasz Kubot of Poland 6-2, 6-4. He also missed out on a chance to qualify for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.
It's not surprising to see Delpo struggle after winning his maiden major. There's an emotional element to overcome here (not to mention the endless celebrating no doubt) more than physical so it'll probably take some time for his game to reemerge. But it will.
A-Rod's loss, however, provided more proof that the Wimbledon loss to Roger Federer over the summer is lingering. He had plenty of time to prepare for the Asian swing but it seems only time will heal the wounds from that missed opportunity. How long is anybody's guess.
So I guess some of the early-losing top lady ballers can gain some comfort now, no?

Judging by the state of the racquets...roddickReplyDelete
Damn, that's one HELL of a racquet smash, Andy! Good job. *applauds*ReplyDelete
Wow, I'm super shocked that Andy isn't going to be in London. He's always at the WTF, WTF?ReplyDelete
(I'm sorry, I had to. But in all seriousness I can't believe he won't be there.)
Ignore my last statement, just ignore it. I didn't know what I was talking about. I shouldn't comment when I'm intoxicated on Yoann Gourcuff and chocolate.ReplyDelete
sara: I was just gonna say he has more chances but this one got away! BTW, I also love being intoxicated in the middle of the day, though I hesitate to say on what. *hides diaries*ReplyDelete
Poor Andy,poor racket too!! Hope he gets a good run in Shanghai.He's still in doubles action this week,so hopefully he'll get some matches in.ReplyDelete
Roddick is definitely still feeling the effects of losing the "W". Whether he can pull it together for Shanghai is still up in the air. I don't think he needs to win Shangahi to qualify for London but he would definitely need to get to the quarters at least. Or it could end being like a NFL playoff scenario i.e. X has to lose for Y to get in. If Roddick doesn't get in to London it would be quite a thud to what has been, mostly, a good year.ReplyDelete
I would have to say Roddick suffered the worst loss. He's been doing a lot it these days. I feel bad for the guy, especially since he regained his popularity after the Wimbledon final. I wonder if those fans are still going to back him...I'm teetering right now. :-|ReplyDelete
I actually think he's going to be OK, recent results notwithstanding. If he would've come out disastrous during the tournaments he played between Wimbledon and the Open I would've thought otherwise. The last two events have been rough, but he should be in good shape, but what do I know? I'm not in his head!ReplyDelete

I noticed when I load the admin screens in IE 6 under Windows XP SP2 that the tabs overlap the content a little bit making it hard to read. It is fine under Firefox. This is in the right frame.
Also noticed that if I open two instances of the admin interface (one in Firefox and one in IE) and make changes, the changes do not show up in the second browser instance. Are the changes cached within the browser?
For instance, in one browser I turned on Anti-Virus. I then went to the other browser and clicked that tab and the changes did not show up.

The history of iconic British rockers the Beatles is to be charted in a new TV series, according to a report.
Bosses at NBC have allegedly recruited "The Tudors" creator and producer Michael Hirst to write a new series which will tell the story of John Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr's rise to global superstardom.
The program, which is still in the early stages of development, will see Hirst re-team with his fellow "The Tudors" executive producers Ben Silverman and Teri Weinberg, and NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt, who gave "The Tudors" the go-ahead when he ran the Showtime network, reports Deadline.com.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Former Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel will be back on campus Friday, this time as a guest lecturer at the Trulaske College of Business.
The New Orleans Saints' back-up was a 2007 Heisman Trophy finalist who graduated as Missouri's career record holder for total offensive yardage.
In addition to his football career, Daniel helped start 10STAR Apparel, a screen printing company based in his home state of Texas.
The one-hour Daniel lecture begins at 1 p.m. in Cornell Hall. The lecture is free to the public.

Hi All,
I have a CentOS 5 Server that I am going to use as a mirror for our current Zimbra mail server. I obvisouly want the mirror to be on the same version as the production machine. I am not sure exactly what version of Zimbra Collaboration Suite our production machine is on. I went into the Admin panel and then clicked on "Software Updates" under the "Tools" section. I clicked on the "check now" button. There is a line there that says: "Software updates are available for your Zimbra server!" There is also a line that says the following: 7.2.1 critical. I am not sure if this is saying I am on version 7.2.1 and there are critical updates for it or if it is saying that I need to update to version 7.2.1. Also, after hitting the "check now" button, I got an email that said: "The following updates were found: 1. critical. Version: 7.2.1_20120815212042_2790". Is there any way for me to tell exactly what version of Zimbra Collaboration Suite I am on? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. -- It is year #2 of Tackle Cancer in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Football Coaches Association (MFCA) is teaming up with the Randy Shaver Cancer Research and Community Fund this September to "Tackle Cancer."
Last year, the MFCA raised $121,000 for cancer research and patient aid.
This year's fundraiser is set for Saturday, August 17 from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. at Moe's located at 2400 Highway 10 in Mounds View. GB Leighton and comedian Scott Hansen are scheduled to perform.
Cancer is a disease that has impacted all communities throughout Minnesota, including most Minnesota families and many football teams. The MFCA challenges every high school and college football team across the state to sponsor at least one "Tackle Cancer" game during the month of September, to raise funds for cancer research and community support.
The Gophers are hosting a "Tackle Cancer" game on Saturday September 21 against San Jose State.
The MFCA is asking football teams to select a home game this fall to promote as a "Tackle Cancer" game and to encourage those attending to bring donations, which will be collected at the gate.
More details on coordinating a "Tackle Cancer" game can be found on the MFCA website. Or contact Dave Nelson at Minnetonka High School.

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey Spoilers: Whoa! Is [Major Character] Not Returning For Season 4?
Uh-oh. Downton Abbey Season 3 has already aired overseas, but it premieres on January 6, 2013 on PBS here in the U.S. According to the U.K. tabloid the Sunday Express, a major character may not be returning for all of Season 4.
Zap2it quoted Sunday Express's "well-placed production source" on the Downton set, who said, "Dan Stevens isn't returning to the series. He will probably do the first episode of the fourth series, but that will be it."
That's a problem, since Dan Stevens plays Matthew Crawley. You know, the potential heir. The guy Lady Mary marries on Season 3. What could it mean for Mary — and Downton — if he leaves the show?
As Zap2it noted, Dan is currently starring in the Broadway play The Heiress, and it will end its run in February, right around the time Downton begins filming Season 4. Since this is an unconfirmed report, let's just cross our fingers that it's not true. Maybe he's just angling for a raise?

If you're expecting, then everyone you know has probably tried to guess the gender of your baby by looking at your bump. Well, according to a new book, they need to look a little bit higher.....at your chest. Women carrying girls develop larger breasts during pregnancy than women carrying boys (their bust increases by 8cm on average compared with 6.3cm for women carrying boys). They say male babies produce more testosterone, which limits growth of that part of your body.
Interesting, right? There's more!
Chocolate lovers have "sweeter" babies.....at least that's what a study out of Finland says. Research on more than 300 new mothers found chocoholics — who indulged every day during pregnancy — had babies described as more outgoing, less fearful, less frustrated and more easily soothed than their counterparts who ate chocolate weekly, seldom or never while pregnant. They think it's because chocolate releases "feel good" endorphins in your body, which makes it's way to your baby.
Also....this book says morning sickness helps protect your baby, but it can make your child a salt addict later in life. If you'd like to read more fascinating facts, check out the book ,"Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies?" by science journalist Jena Pincott.

Alumni Spotlight: Noel Amend '12 Behind the Mask
Albert Einstein said, "The only source of knowledge is experience" and no one could agree more than Urbana University '12 graduate Noel Amend.
Noel came to Urbana University on a soccer scholarship in 2007 and suddenly found herself in a completely different world. Having spent her entire high school career just outside of Cincinnati at Mason High School – one of the largest high schools in the state of Ohio with over 3,000 students – coming to Urbana University was almost like stepping into another world. Such a drastic change in scenery could have shocked a lesser person and, perhaps, held them back. But not Noel.
"I loved every minute of it," Noel reflects fondly of her initial experiences at UU. "Being such a small school, you get the opportunity to try everything on before you leave like extra-curriculars, clubs, sports, etc. I enjoyed the small classrooms with professors who not only interacted with the students but who also truly cared."
It was the approaching Homecoming her freshmen year, however, that presented Noel with a completely unexpected change in her path. Sitting in the office of BJ Gregory, a '06 bachelor's and '10 masters graduate, Noel's attention was caught by the head of the Urbana University mascot, Knitro.
"Can I try it on?" She asked Gregory. "He just stared at me and said, 'Yeah, give it a try.' So I put on the head and began to walk and dance around."
The next thing she knew, Noel was marching in the Homecoming parade as Knitro and a chain of events unfolded because of that one decision to try on Knitro's head. Continuing to play soccer, Noel branched out and joined the University's spring theatre production in 2008. She was active in the productions of "The Sandbox", "Plugged in Poe", and "The Miracle Worker". Her experience as Knitro allowed her to get a job as the Kenwood Towne Centre Easter Bunny and the Kings Island character Cosmo.
Prior to her junior year, Noel transferred to the University of Cincinnati due to a curiosity of the big school atmosphere. While the social atmosphere that a big, city-based college was much different and something Noel loved, academically she was unsatisfied and came running back to UU for the Spring 2011 term and finished out her collegiate years on scholarships for cheerleading (as the mascot) and theatre.
"I missed everyone at Urbana. I realized how my friends, and even the faculty and staff, had become like a second family to me; that is something that was hard to come by at a large university."
Noel, while still considering herself a beginner in the "real world", attributes a well-rounded education at Urbana University to helping prepare her for career and adult successes. Never thinking that her college education would include more field trips than she remembered taking throughout her primary education, helping with radio commercials to promote Urbana University, or participating in on-campus activities like sledding on Tupperware, mud-wrestling, or "other [things] I probably shouldn't share publicly", Noel was able to learn the true meaning and benefit of a UU experience.
"I think more people would benefit from a more hands-on education than a textbook education, and they would probably enjoy learning a lot more. I never thought I would have done as much as I did [in college]. In reality, experience opens up doors to gain more experiences instead of just going through the motions."
These days, Noel is using the confidence and experienced acquired during her time at Urbana to excite the fans attending the Cincinnati Reds games; she has traded in Knitro's head for Rosie Red's.
"I really feel like I have gotten to do everything I wanted with my college years and more. Without my debut as Knitro way back as a freshman, I would have never gotten the opportunity to be the lovely Rose Red. Thanks Urbana! Forever a Blue Knight!"
This alumni spotlight was written by Jennifer Kirkham '09. Jennifer is a freelance writer and blogger with experience as an editorial journalist. She is currently working as an Enrollment Office Assistant at Urbana University and lives in Urbana with her husband and their three children. She can be reached at email@example.com.

1955 Ford F-100 - Hauling (Gr) AssWritten by on January 23, 2007 Contributors: Jim Rizzo Grasshopper's '55 Ford F-100
Here's the scenario: Halloween, a few years back. Tim, an employee of Mike Skenian, makes a comment off the cuff, "A classic truck would be a great promotional vehicle for the business...you know, landscaping, pickup trucks...come on." Being that Mike's company, Grasshopper's Landscaping, had a certain reputation to uphold, a rolling business card of sorts of this magnitude was a perfect idea-the seed was planted!
So, the search was on. The problem was, just "what" type of classic truck would serve the purpose of representing Mike's business sufficiently? A Chevy? As it turned out, nothing spoke "true classic" to Skenian quite like the clean lines of a '55 Ford F-100-and a custom one, at that.
Within a couple months, Mike and his wife, Pam, had found what they were looking for-an older restoration just waiting for a new lease on life. A few months later, after a trip to the F-100 SuperNationals, a "hot rod" game plan was put together, and the project went from a spare-time effort to a complete company collaboration. We're talking serious business, for folks who weren't even in the business of building custom trucks!
A year and a half later, the seed had been nurtured into a full-fledged baby grasshopper-and for a group of "green" grasshoppers, it was nothing to be ashamed of. Actually, the efforts of Mike and Pam, Tim Via, Ernie Monroe, and numerous friends, was worthy of a Top 50 honor at the very place that inspired Skenian to begin with, the annual F-100 SuperNationals (then held in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee). In between the regular landscaping routine, the team turned a stock F-100 into quite the modern-styled pickup, as you can see. From the Volare-equipped, four-linked chassis to the potent 460 FE, the stunning two-tone PPG paint to the stylish leather interior, this is definitely no ordinary grass hauler!
To step out of your element and turn and old truck into a cool landscaping business promo is one thing; to do so and get high praise from a community of classic truck builders/lovers is an impressive feat. Quite a nice ending to that initial scenario, wouldn't you say? We definitely would!

Response to 911 call appreicated
Thank you to the Mountain View Volunteer Fire Company of Brunswick who responded to our 911 call on Thanksgiving Day. We appreciate your response to our call very much. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with your families.
He never mentioned that
Charles Krauthammer in his column gives us a big dissertation about why Israel went into Gaza. He never mentions the real reason. CNN reported back on Nov. 11 that Israeli soldiers and helicopters shot a 13-year-old kid in Gaza playing soccer. He never mentions that. Israel started this confrontation, not Gaza.
Commending their expertise
Recently, I had occasion to call 911 and the Troy Fire Department EMTs arrived almost immediately. I want to commend them for their expertise and also their consideration, professional and compassionate attitude. I felt very safe and comfortable on the way to St. Peter's Hospital. We are so quick to be judgmental and critical of others and we should acknowledge people that deserve recognition.
We all need to change
I'm also calling in to comment on Time Warner Cable. It's ridiculous, the amount of time you wait. Something has to be done. I think we should all change and go to Direct TV or something.
U.S. needs to wake up
I wish the United States can wake up. Any time there is a disaster, we're always there, no matter where it is, we go right over and help. That's our way. When Hurricane Sandy hit, I have yet to see any country or anybody come support us.

Because I don't live near my children, when I visit, I stay with them, for anywhere from a few days to a week. (I hope they still leave the light on after this.) The common wisdom is for us grandmas to paste on a smile, close our mouths and open our pocketbooks. If our child and his/her partner fight, it is critically important to be suddenly struck blind and deaf.

Royals right-handed pitcher Zack Greinke today was the overwhelming choice as the 2009 American League Cy Young Award winner in balloting by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Greinke's Cy Young season is the fourth in Royals history as he becomes the third pitcher to win the award, joining two-time winner Bret Saberhagen (1985, 1989) and David Cone (1994).
The 26-year old Greinke was named first on 25 ballots and second on three ballots of the 28 total ballots cast by two writers in each American League city. He received a total of 134 points, based on the 5-3-1 tabulations system for first, second and third-place votes. The Mariners' Felix Hernandez was the runner-up to Greinke, with 80 points and two first-place votes. The Tigers' Justin Verlander picked up the other first-place vote. The Yankees' CC Sabathia and the Blue Jays' Roy Halladay also picked up votes.
Greinke has also been named the 2009 Royals Bruce Rice Pitcher of the Year, his second such award after taking home the honor in 2004. The award was voted on by the Kansas City Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA). Greinke was a unanimous selection for the Bruce Rice Award.
The Florida native posted arguably the greatest pitching season in Royals history and was already named both The Sporting News A.L. Pitcher of the Year and the A.L. Bullet Rogan Award winner by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The right-hander was 16-8 with a Major League-leading 2.16 ERA, the lowest in the circuit since Pedro Martinez posted a 1.74 ERA for Boston in 2000. In addition to ERA, the Cy Young winner also paced the AL in opponent on-base pct. (.276), baserunners per nine innings (9.81) and fewest home runs per nine innings (0.43) while finishing second in numerous other categories including strikeouts, posting 242, second-most in Royals history.

Venus Williams had a few stumbles in her opening round match at Wimbledon but still managed to defeat Rossana De Los Rios 6-3, 6-2. The 5-time champ had 5-0 leads in both sets but allowed her Paraguayan opponent to pull out a few games. Her stats, though, look relatively clean: 31 winners/15 UEs, 6 aces, 57% first serve, broke 5 of 8 times and made 5 of 9 net approaches. She'll face Eastbourne champ Ekaterina Makarova, who defeated Agnes Szavay 6-4, 7-6 (2), in the next round.
This latest EleVen outfit, inspired by Tina Turner apparently, is a real about face from her Moulin Rouge number from Roland Garros. Firstly, she's got on normal knickers - phew. Secondly, she pulled a mullet moment here taking two different dresses and sewing the business top of one to the party bottom of another. The end result looks really disconnected. Not the best design EVAH.
Jelena Jankovic made her way into the second round with a 6-3, 7-6 (5) win over local fave Laura Robson. It wasn't the cleanest performance by the Serb, who was broken twice, but her stats looked good: 31 winners/12 UEs, 71% first serve, 4 aces and 7 of 8 net approaches. I'm still curious to see how her game develops in each match especially since she opted out of warm up tourneys this time around. JJ's never made it past the fourth round at Wimby so it was somewhat of surprise not to see her get any match play in before the Slam started.
The fourth seed debuted her new ANTA number which, like V's, features a simple design on top with some fluffy frills on the skirt. But I think this execution is much smoother and it flows nicely - not as jarring at the Americans. At first glance I thought it was a bit boring but, honestly, how much can you really do under the AEC's dress code?
On a side note, it looks like JJ's been getting her accessory stylings from Roger Federer:

6 comments:
I thought Venus loved Wimbledon but she obviously doesn't if she feels the need to assault us all with this fashion fail. I never EVER thought I'd say this but Venus needs to follow in her sister's footsteps and tone it down.ReplyDelete
Totally agree. It all looks like she's trying too hard. Everything is so literal. I love things that have a subtlety and allow you to interpret it.ReplyDelete
V's completely cracking us over the head with her inspirations.
Newsflash: WE GET IT.
Love the bottom of both JJ and V's dresses. Over all they both look great, but V's top is a wee too busy and JJ's top is a tad too sporty to go with that bottom.ReplyDelete
But that's nit picking...they both look fab!
I agree about V's dress. The top and bottom are fine on their own, but together they don't fit. Plus the drop waist adds bulk that sure as hell ain't there!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 22, 2010 at 2:07 AM
yeah I really like the fringe, but the top looks totally wrong, like it belongs to something else...and which it too bad because I always thought Venus was one of the few women on tour who could pull off sexy necklines and silhouettes ... no pun intended, but V is becoming delusional after all of her "illusions"...ReplyDelete
- WesterlyJune 24, 2010 at 10:38 PM
This so-called 'fashion' blog makes me laugh. I haven't stopped by here in ages and now I remember why...Let's see...ReplyDelete
Venus's fringe skirt is 'too literal' but apparently Sharapova's New York aspirations ("the dress is red because it's New York - the big apple - and the crystals on the front are an actual graphic of the NY skyline!"); her cheap, direct "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Hepburn knock off which was a brilliant 'tribute'; the swan lake dress; the dreadful tuxedo and now this rose petal nonsense aren't the living definition of square, literal-minded design but are instead are gushed about by Rich as if they are the height of fashion.
Serena comes out dressed as a nurse with a badly cut, too-short bolero and in an outfit that Nike has recycled for Serena over and over again. (And according to you Rich, recycling fashion is 'bad' and boring, remember.) She's in off white and red trim and talks about it representing 'strawberries and cream' (because there is nothing literal-minded about *that*) and of course, it's lauded.
As for Venus's 'literal' dress. Well, some people pick up on the sixties go-go, but others see a nod to 1920s flapper girl inspiration. Now, of Venus if hadn't said in pre-Wimbledon interviews that her outfits was inspired by Tina Turner - would you have automatically thought 'oh yeah - that's just Tina Turner on a tennis court' when you first saw it? If not, then how does the design qualify as 'literal'?
But whatever.
IMO Vee's dress is cute but I think the execution with the lace on front could have been far better cut, using less flimsy, higher quality material. Even still, she still cuts the most striking figure on tour.

State sees $268 million in film industry spending

The first half of 2014 saw an estimated $268 million in direct in-state spending from the film industry, according to a Friday release from the N.C. Film Office.

The projected tally, calculated from the intent-to-film forms filed by more than 40 productions in the state, exceeds 2013's total-year spending, which reached just over $254 million.
The first half of the year also saw more than 3,300 production days and nearly 19,000 job opportunities – which breaks down to "3,000 crew positions, 500 well-paying talent opportunities and 15,00 background talent positions," according to the release.
Last year, on a whole, the state reported more than 60 productions and 25,000 job opportunities, including more than 4,000 crew positions.
Among the productions that brought big business to the state this year are locally filmed series "Under the Dome," which wrapped production on season two last week, and "Sleepy Hollow," which is currently filming its second season; as well as films such as "Max Steel" and "The Longest Ride."
According to Johnny Griffin, director of the Wilmington Regional Film Commission, productions from the Wilmington area will likely contribute around $175 million to the statewide total by year's end, up from last year's $135 million.
Griffin cautions, however, that actual spending or additional projects could alter that figure.
In the meantime, he said Friday's release shows that the state's film industry could continue to grow – if given the chance.
"It is ironic that in this time when we are looking at the incentive, and deciding whether or not to extend, we are having an off-the-chart year," Griffin said.
The state's current incentive program offers a 25 percent refundable tax credit to productions that spend at least $250,000. It expires at the end of the year, and its future is murky as the General Assembly continues budget talks in Raleigh. A recent Senate offer to the House changed the incentive to $20 million "grant" program, and the Gov. Pat McCrory has also said the current program needs to change.
