Madam Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for this opportunity to submit written testimony on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 funding needs for public transportation security programs within the Department of Homeland Security. APTA urges Congress to significantly increase appropriations for transportation security programs. Past appropriations have not come close to the levels authorized under the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53). In 2011, Americans took 10.4 billion trips on public transportation which was the second highest annual ridership since 1957. Only ridership in 2008, when gas rose to more than $4 a gallon, surpassed last year's rider totals. As transit ridership continues to grow, its security needs do also.
The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) is a nonprofit, international association of nearly 1,500 public and private member organizations, including transit systems and commuter, intercity and high-speed rail operators; planning, design, construction, and finance firms; product and service providers; academic institutions; transit associations and state departments of transportation. APTA members serve the public interest by providing safe, efficient, and economical public transportation services and products. More than ninety percent of the people using public transportation in the United States and Canada are served by APTA member systems. Additionally, in accordance with the National Infrastructure Protection Plan, APTA has been tasked by Department of Homeland Security to administer the on-going activities of the Mass Transit Sector Coordinating Council.
In 2010, an APTA survey of its transit agency members found security investment needs in excess of $6.4 billion nationwide. These are funds that our agencies simply do not have, as overall funding constraints have led to service cuts, personnel layoffs and fare increases. This stated need contrasts the recent trend in cuts to transit security grant programs. We are very concerned about the recent decline in transit security funding where, in FY 2012, we see an allocation of $87 million for transit security. This level is woefully short of the industry's capital security needs. As recently as FY2009, federal funding for transit security was set at nearly $400 million. I urge Congress to acknowledge the risk that our citizens and transit systems continue to face, and restore appropriations for the Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) in this and subsequent appropriation bills. Historically, Congress has permitted the Department of Homeland Security to allocate appropriated grant funding without specific directive. We recommend that this subcommittee, in its appropriating capacity, guide DHS regarding particular program funding allocations to ensure that public transportation security program needs adequately addressed. Our systems need the certainty of adequate funding to properly plan and implement large capital, surveillance and other security projects to protect our systems. While there is no indication that our collective security concerns have diminished and the backlog of needed projects continues to grow, federal security grant funds have declined precipitously.
As we and others have stated many times before, and as the members of this subcommittee well know, authoritative sources have acknowledged that the risk to public transportation systems is real, and it has not diminished:
This history calls for continued vigilance and continued investments in surface transportation security.
In FY2012, program changes were made in the Transit Security Grant Program and additional, significant, changes are proposed in FY2013. APTA acknowledges that there are some sound goals and positive policy provisions represented by these changes, including:
Notwithstanding these improvements to the current program, there are several other program changes that cause us concern and which we believe could thwart the progress many grantee agencies have made to improve the security of their systems in recent years.
Program Consolidation
The "National Preparedness Grant Program (NPGP)" proposes to consolidate all grant programs previously categorized as preparedness grants into one comprehensive grant program. This is a drastic change that eliminates the standalone TSGP – the exclusive pool of funding for our nation's public transportation systems. While this new program may be designed to meet the needs of the emergency management community and to more closely align with policy represented in the National Preparedness Goal, emergency preparedness and core capabilities are only subsets of the policy that the Transit Security Grant Program was intended to advance. As previously stated, transit systems and their assets remain high-risk terrorist targets, and investments in hardening and other capital security improvements specific to transit agencies do not appropriately fall within this broader emergency preparedness policy. APTA calls on Congress to authorize and preserve a sufficiently-funded, segregated grant program for public transportation security as envisioned in the 9/11 Commission Act. We applaud the work of the this subcommittee, as it recommended a separate Public Transportation Security Assistance grant program within the Department of Homeland Security FY 2012 Appropriations Committee Report; we hope that the Subcommittee will recommend the same in FY 2013.
Reduced Grant Performance Period
Of additional concern is the new 24-month period of grant performance for all projects proposed in the FY 2012 TSGP Guidance, which is further contained in the proposal for the FY 2013 NPGP. This is a reduction from the previous 3-5 year allowable expenditure period. APTA certainly appreciates the concerns regarding unexpended security grant dollars and is committed to working with transit agencies to carry out important security projects in a timely fashion. However, it is important to recognize that capital projects (security–related or otherwise) require multiple years to complete, and a reduction in the time allotted to expend funding would preclude many much needed capital infrastructure security projects from being pursued and instead compel most grant recipients to apply for equipment and operational grants. This is not in the best interest of fortifying our systems against attacks, as the majority of the security needs identified in the 2010 APTA member survey relate to capital projects. APTA recommends maintaining the 3-year expenditure window with the opportunity to receive 6-month extensions up to a maximum of 5 years.
Emphasis on Operational Projects and the TTAL
Similarly, the FY 2012 TSGP and FY 2013 NPGP place a high emphasis on operational activities and Operational Packages (OPacks). Congress has previously set a clear priority for transit security capital investments when enacting the "National Transit Systems Security Act of 2007" (Title 14 of the 9/11 Commission Act). Additionally, the FY 2012 grant guidance states that this year's funding priorities will be based on a pre-designated "Top Transit Asset List" or TTAL. APTA has testified previously that security investment decisions should be risk-based, which is the underlying approach of the TTAL. However, across the entire transit industry, thousands of assets are not listed on the TTAL and, thus, would not be eligible to receive funding. While this narrower funding approach is based on tighter fiscal circumstances and the total federal dollars available for security grants, it is also indicative of the inadequacy of current funding levels. The proposed approach will preclude important security improvements from receiving funding consideration. APTA recommends reauthorizing the public transportation security assistance provisions of the 9/11 Commission Act, and urges Congress to work to make adequate funding available for the program to meet national needs.
Inability to Directly Apply for Funding
Finally, under the proposal, while transit agencies would be eligible for security funding, they would be required to apply for funding through their State Administrative Agency (SAA), and compete in this process with other state security priorities. This is a shift from the current program, where transit agencies are authorized to be direct applicants for and direct recipients of grant funds. We believe that under this new proposal sufficient funding would not consistently get to transit agencies, and in many cases the involvement of the SAA has the potential to slow the already lengthy grant performance process. Congress has repeatedly endorsed the position that transit agencies should be direct federal grant recipients, as they have been through the Federal Transit Administration, and we urge Congress to continue this policy.
Madam Chairman, I thank the Subcommittee for this opportunity to share our views on these critical homeland security issues. There is no greater priority for public transportation systems than the safety and security of our passengers and workers. I urge you not to wait for the "wake-up" call of an attack on our systems to provide transit agencies the support they need. Transit systems across the country continue to stand ready, committed and vigilant in utilizing available resources efficiently to protect our systems and our riders. We urge you to sustain the critical partnership between transit agencies, Congress and the Department of Homeland Security that helps to keep our nation safe and moving toward economic prosperity.

Iraqi Archbishop Calls for More U.N., Arab Involvement
Archbishop Jean Benjamin Sleiman of Baghdad said the answer to Iraq's problems is not a hasty U.S. military pullout, but greater involvement by the United Nations and Arab countries. A sudden withdrawal of U.S. and allied forces would be a great act of irresponsibility, the Latin-rite archbishop told the Italian missionary news agency, MISNA, on Dec. 5. Neither the Americans nor the allies should leave the country. It would mean passing from anarchy to chaos, he said. He said it would long be remembered if Western powers simply created another crisis zone in the Middle East and walked away.
If the United Nations takes up the problems of Iraq with the consensus of the international community, including the Arab countries, then it will be a force recognized by everyone. Even most Iraqis would show support for it, he said.
Archbishop Sleiman said that in retrospect it was clearly a mistake to dismantle the Iraqi army of 400,000 men immediately after the main battles ended in April. These soldiers are now dispersed in society, many unemployed, and may be participating in the guerrilla warfare, he said.
The archbishop also lamented the growing activity by U.S. Christian groups that have openly announced that they are in Iraq to convert Muslims: These groups represent a real provocation to followers of Islam, and it wouldn't surprise me if some Muslims react aggressively.
Jesuit Journal Warns Against Abrupt Military Pullout From Iraq
An influential Jesuit journal, La Civiltà Cattolica (Catholic Civilization), cautioned against an abrupt pullout of foreign soldiers from Iraq, saying the country's citizens should not be abandoned at a moment of crisis.
But the magazine said the type of military and reconstruction intervention in Iraq should change, with more cooperation between the United States and the United Nations and more involvement by other countries. The comments came in an article in the Dec. 6 issue of the magazine, whose contents are reviewed at the Vatican prior to publication. In the months leading up to the Iraqi war, the magazine was one of the sharpest critics of the U.S.-led invasion.
Given the current situation of almost daily attacks against foreign personnel, the way of operating must change in Iraq, it said. The first objective should be the creation of an embryonic modern Iraqi state able to govern at least the major cities. Achieving this will require more confidential contacts with a wider network of political forces in Iraq, in order to negotiate a way out of the impasse in which the country finds itself, it said.
To reach this objective and to work in favor of the economic development of the country, more countries must be involvedmoderate countries of Islamic majority and European countriesbut this is impossible without greater cooperation between the United States and the United Nations, the article said.
No Communion for Pro-Choice Politicians, Says Burke
Archbishop Raymond L. Burke of St. Louis, Mo., said that if Catholic politicians in St. Louis take public positions against church teaching, he would be obliged to confront them privately if possible but publicly if necessary, as he did as bishop of La Crosse, Wis. On Dec. 4, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Archbishop Burke had sent letters to three Catholic legislators: Julie Lassa, a state senator; another unnamed Wisconsin state lawmaker; and an unnamed U.S. congressman. The letter requested that they refrain from Communion until they had a change of heart on issues of human life.
Archbishop Burke indicated that he had a hard time believing that a Catholic lawmaker could in good conscience favor anti-life legislation. You would not expect any public official to vote against his conscience, he remarked, even if it meant that some members of their constituency would not agree with him. Asked what would happen if a conscience informed by faith would disqualify Catholics from being worthy of public office in the minds of voters, the bishop responded, Then there won't be any more Catholic politicians.
In requesting that they refrain from Communion until they had a change of heart, Archbishop Burke denied that he was singling out lawmakers for special treatment. Any Catholic who is not faithful to Catholic teaching should refrain from Communion, he said, adding that it was not a matter of excommunicating them.
The bishop made reference to the document Doctrinal Note on Some Questions Regarding the Participation of Catholics in Political Life, approved by Pope John Paul II and released by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith last January. That document reiterates the pope's position that Catholics involved directly in lawmaking bodies have a grave and clear obligation to oppose any measure that is an attack on human life. In September the U.S. bishops formed a special task force to develop guidelines for bishops for implementing the principles spelled out by the Vatican document. At their national meeting in November, the bishops had a preliminary discussion of the direction such guidelines should take.
Irish Bishops Apologize Over Handling of Sexual Abuse Cases
In releasing a report that acknowledged the church's past failures, Irish bishops apologized for their handling of child sexual abuse cases. Bishop John McAreavey of Dromore said the 332-page report, released on Dec. 4, was an act of sorrow and openness. For what has happened we are truly sorry, and while we cannot undo the wrongs of the past, we can use this research to help us deal with victims of abuse with understanding, compassion and sensitivity, said Bishop McAreavey.
Archbishop Sean Brady of Armagh, president of the Irish bishops' conference, said the report tells a very complex and tragic story of deep hurt, and trust betrayed. Archbishop Brady, in apologizing to the victims of clergy sex abuse, said the church failed in its pastoral responsibilities in handling the cases. We hope that this report can be a useful part of the telling of the story, and that it will help to ensure that the next chapters are of healing and reconciliation. We hope that someday those who have been abused and harmed will feel able and be ready to forgive. Until that day we will continue to work to restore people's trust in the church, the archbishop said.
More than 100 members of the Irish clergy have been convicted of sexual offenses in the last decade, according to The Associated Press. A compensation panel formed earlier this year is expected to pay up to $700 million to thousands of claimants who allegedly suffered abuse at church-run schools and orphanages from the 1940's to the 1980's. The government is responsible for most of the settlement, since it had the responsibility of supervising the institutions, The A.P. reported.
The research examined the psychological and social impact of sexual abuse of children by members of the Catholic clergy and how the church managed complaints of sexual abuse. Researchers surveyed 1,081 citizens and conducted interviews with seven victims of molestation and eight priests convicted of sex-abuse crimes. They also interviewed more than 100 high-ranking diocesan officials as well as 35 Irish bishops, and concluded that church leaders were guilty of bad management. The survey was conducted by psychologists at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
Clearly in relation to clerical sexual abuse we failed many young people over too long a period, Bishop McAreavey said, noting that the church, in dealing with abusers, used the best psychiatric advice available at the time. He said that in light of the report's recommendations, the church would improve its existing abuse policies. He said more than half of the report's 19 recommendations already had been implemented.
The results of the survey found that 77 percent of Irish citizens believed that the church had not responded adequately to the scandal. The survey also revealed that confidence in the church declined among the families of those abused mostly because of how the church responded to their complaints rather than the abuse itself.
Clergy surveyed said the strategy adopted by the church was an attempt to prevent scandal and protect the church as an institution. Some senior church officials reported being poorly advised by legal and mental health professionals. Poor communication, lack of procedures, unfamiliarity with the issues involved and poor leadership contributed to an ineffective management of the issue, according to clergy surveyed.
News Briefs
After five years of dialogue, a team of 20 Catholic and Lutheran scholars moved toward finalizing a study of The Church as Koinonia of Salvation: Its Structures and Ministries during a recent meeting in Washington, D.C. The studywhich will include 10 recommendations to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and to the Catholic Churchwill be completed and made public next April in Milwaukee.
In keeping with its promise not to use parish, appeal or capital campaign funds to finance a record $85 million sexual abuse settlement, the Archdiocese of Boston announced on Dec. 3 that it would use insurance money and sell a portion of church property that includes the former cardinal's residence to pay for the settlement.
The Japanese bishops said they oppose sending Japanese soldiers to join U.S.-led coalition troops in Iraq.
Terrorism is both immoral and a sin, said Jerusalem's Latin-rite patriarch in a new document. Patriarch Michel Sabbah said the church condemns all acts of violence...especially terrorism that are intended to injure and kill the innocent.
While Gregorian chant and pipe organs hold pride of place in Catholic liturgical music, the use of new compositions and other instruments are appropriate at Mass if they reflect the sacredness of the occasion and help people pray, Pope John Paul II said in a document on sacred music dated Dec. 3.
The Chaldean bishops elected Archbishop Emmanuel-Karim Delly, 76, a retired auxiliary bishop of Baghdad, to be their church's new patriarch. He and the bishops met with Pope John Paul II, formally sealing the election by requesting and being granted communion with the pope.

Also, nice review. Would pos if I could.
I've never heard of these guys, and I doubt I would spend my time hearing this, seeing as it's ranked a 3.5.
Album Rating: 3.5Thanks DG. Hope you enjoy.
Dannyboy, you may like some of their singles, but that's about it.
Gee, it's a very dark looking featured section on the front page at the moment.
These Blood Red Shoes are "Cold" "Down Here In The Dark".
Oh please

Nerf Guns were initially developed by the Parker Brothers. It was marketed as a foam ball that can be played indoors but cannot hurt old people or babies. It became known as the world's first official indoor balls and a Nerf Gun Review could testify to that. They are a totally fun and exciting gun toy which is totally harmless. The foam ball is made from polyester resin which eventually reacts with a compound causing the emission of gases. These gases are what make the ball soft and light.
Likewise, it is not an expensive toy as compared to other toy guns which are more expensive but does not warrant the excitement brought about by Nerf guns. The accuracy is so much better as well especially if the player has a good aim. The rate of at least 2 rounds per seconds depending on the type of gun also gives it a high rate of fire. In addition, it is especially suited for a surprise blitz attack on your opponent.
The materials are also highly sturdy and durable that even a strong pressure on the gun would not cause it to break or snap. In addition, there are no small materials that could be easily disengaged from the toy making it a safe option even for younger kids. Refill packs for the foam balls or darts are also available and can be easily bought if you want to have more ammunition ready. So this makes it a better option than other toys which have a limited supply of ammunition.
In addition, it could appease the children's curiosity as well as that of the adults on how it feels to shoot a gun. Although this is not an educational toy, it could be considered as such because it would tend to teach children how to handle guns in a playful manner and without being hurt. They are also not limited to a particular age group. In fact, anybody could enjoy them from kids as early as 4 years old to adults. Likewise, these toys could be a fun game for at least two people who do not belong into the same age group. Accessories for the Nerf Guns are also available. These are best for those people who love playing with Nerf Guns and would want to accessorize themselves to totally feel the part. Ammunition belts and caps are just a few of the things that you could accessorize yourself when playing with them.
Moreover, Nerf Guns come in all shapes and sizes depending on your intentions in playing with them. Some guns come with just at least 6 ammunition storage within the gun while others have up to 20 darts or shells within them. Also, the they provide varied choices depending on the age groups who are going to play with them. Nerf Guns are truly a fun and exciting game that you can play with anyone. It allows people to have a free hand with shooting but at the same time enjoy it without hurting anybody.

XboxOne X - E3 2017 analysis
X marks the spot?
The covers have finally come off of one of the most talked about an revered new pieces of hardware in the last few years, supercharged and more powerful than anything that had come before. The brand new Porsche 911 GT finally steps out into the light at this year's E3, a momentous occasion for all I am sure you will agree.
This "subtle" marketing link was of course a metaphor for the real star of Microsoft's show, a new, sleeker, refined, smaller & above all else powerful console to sit atop the Xbox family food chain, nay the console food chain. They have touted it as such and they are not wrong, this is without question the Great White of small, under TV devices, rammed packed with all the features to justify its $499 or £449 price tag as I predicted last year when it hits stores on November 7th. Is this too high to succeed and does it have enough in the tank to see the journey to the end?
Let's start with all the facts that we now know, & just what your money gets you. Some things have changed since its "technical" reveal earlier in the year, demonstrating that this was still a moving feast. The side out "X to the power of" box gives you a simple and quick breakdown of all the key points and hardware facts, I will cover the ones that matter the most to developers and consumers IMOP along with just what these all mean to the laymen.
The elephant in the room & one of the biggest disappointments for some is the lack of 1st Party AAA content for the machine, but long-time viewers of my channel and site will know this is not a surprise to me. The company made its goals clear many years ago and this new console fits in perfectly with those, supplying the best place to play ALL multi-platform AAA games & possibly some Independent titles as well, I covered this in my video below back in March last year, watch from around the 9 minute mark for the Xbox info, this is just them moving into the area of most concern, software and service. This is why you are seeing PC and Console as one, cross buy, even cross play now with PC and consoles. The Nintendo Switch is now on the list with Minecraft but Sony still state NO.
The message is clear and the demo's on stage for 4K/HDR, 8 million pixel goodness that this machine is designed to deliver and many games demonstrated that target that level, IF they all manage to achieve it is something I will be covering in great detail over the coming weeks and months. But we saw the latest Assassins Creed, rebooted from is obvious Black Flag roots into mainstream attention, tagged with the 4K option on the MS new beast (A noun that was used heavily on-stage) it certainly looks like one game that could achieve a native resolution at the same 30fps level of the other 'ONE', possibly with a Dynamic solution. But many of the games shown from the 22 Exclusive (in some form or another yet to be ratified) did not sit in this AAA category, and as such all will likely hit that level.
The new Metro Exodus was another great showing, even though it ran on a PC with similar specs to the XboxOne X this will be a title that will target a sub UHD resolution at most likely a 30Hz rate. But many other titles such as the stylish, blade runner The Last Night, VR port Lucky's Tale, Osiris, Unruly Heroes, Path of Exile, Fable Fortunes among many others will almost certainly have a fully native 4K asset and resolution output.
It all becomes clear
One game that certainly hits this lofty goal with ease is the sumptuous Forza 7 bringing along its 60fps stablemate, dynamic weather and a greatly improved PBR lighting and material system to boot, it was, and is, a clear benchmark for the new hardware which I will be covering soon. It also demonstrates what will become the consoles biggest "asset" over its Pro rival, assets. You see many games, certainly the multi-platform AAA ones coming from the likes of EA, Ubisoft, Bethesda and the like, are already geared up creating engines, in-game assets and materials around the new 4K output, the XboxOne X is going to do little to change that, but what it will do is allow developers to use these exact same assets on the machine alongside its higher resolution. You see the PS4Pro did many things right, but one of those was NOT the memory allocation, something demonstrated in the small 512MiB boost the Pro is given, increasing its total application allocation to 5.5GB allocation. As you gaze over to that side out box you will see the total memory allocation the 1X has is nearly twice that, 9GB of the machines total 12GB is now dedicated to games, something I stressed in my first analysis of the specs. But what does this mean then? Well it means that games utilising these higher quality textures, can be packed into this new console version, X is indeed greater than 4.
Examples that will land at launch with free updates added to Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, Killer Instinct or Minecraft to start then you will get these extra 4K texture added into the game to see for yourself with them all likely to be downloads rather than on the disc, just as they already appear on the PC versions. And the same will come from other 3rd party teams such as Ghost Recon, Final Fantasy XV, Resident Evil VII and many, many more including one I always said would land in the Witcher 3 and will most likely land on Pro at the same time. These updates and all the others that are patched will all be free, add a full 4K resolution mode and if the game had better quality PC assets, those will also be supplied. As I have covered before and will continue to, even when these happen and the Pro offers up a native 4K resolution it can still use the same 1080P level textures. Rise of the Tomb Raider is one such title that uses CheckerBoard rendering to reach its 2160P output, but the texture quality is still below what the PC version can run, not so with an eventual X1X update.
But other updates will come, Gears of War 4 will not only have native 4K resolution and textures but will also run higher geometry on models, better shadows, greater dynamic lights, longer draw distance all at this higher IQ. Multiplayer also keeps the 4K resolution with current 60fps but will run a dynamic scaling solution (likely to become a key factor on all the bigger/higher 4K titles) to ensure the performance does not dip below that 16ms line.
Memory like an Elephant
Battlefield 1, Mass Effect, Prey and many others all have higher quality materials than cannot be run on the PS4Pro's memory space, but can be fitted into the 3.5GB extra space afforded by the new machines GDDR5 which is helped further in its 4K aspirations by its 326GB/s bandwidth, a boost over the 218GB/s the Pro has. This wider bandwidth and greater footprint make hitting 4K output buffers much easier as it is not always just about the ALU throughout and Tflops, some games will struggle to hit these huge buffer counts because of ram size on the Pro. X1X also has another benefit with this extra ram, it can allow a great amount of effects, draw distance, LoD, AA or even loading times for games that do not require the full 9GB allocation. This is exactly the benefit you will see with Xbox360 and XboxOne games on the machine that do not have an improvement patched released. Better texture filtering, smoother frame-rates and faster loading as this can be used as a Virtual HD reducing seek times on the physical harddisks & becoming a large cache, this is the BIGGEST boost over the Pro rather than the 1.8Tflop performance increase it also gains over the Sony elite box. It could empower developers to try more features or techniques on the machine, but we will see what this all gets used for beyond my list here.
It does have other benefits with its HDMI in and out still present allowing stream though options to work as before, 4K Blu-Ray UHD player makes it the complete 4K device for your new TV from shows, games and disc movies, but it is more expensive than its rival, something which may limit the impact it will have on the mainstream market, but that is why the XboxOne S exists which includes the same 4K/HDR options for movies, shows but lacks the grunt to deliver on that promise for games. With its HDMI 2.1 support for the newer Dynamic HDR metadata and all options wherever they may land, VRR (Variable Refresh Rates) to allow games to support varying frame-rates with less impact and no tearing such as we see with AMD's Freesync or Nvidia's Gsync. Like many things though much of this will depend on your TV and cables (HDMI 2.1 does require the newer 48G cables due to the increased bandwidth) but all connections are the same and older cables can still be used which are good for 4K60Hz gaming or films with current HDR panels.
Some truly impressive games were shown with Rare standing out as a phenomenal title in Sea of Thieves and...well that water is truly mouth 'watering'. Crackdown looks as much fun in destruction as the older games but dialed up to 11, with the "Is that real?" moment coming from Anthem, a title that will also launch on PS4, XboxOne and PC. The biggest exclusive from the show was the machine itself, the best place to play AAA games could literally become it's advertising slogan.
The show, for me, was again well balanced with enough talk on the new machine and its benefits with the early demo's and last one in Bioware's latest Destiny like adventure Anthem which demonstrated what the machine could achieve using the resource to target 1080/30 rather than a native 4K and on that score I await to see what can be achieved on both this and the Pro when it simply targets visual quality over visual clarity. 4k/HDR is the dream PR ticket, MS waited a year to enhance its machine to achieve that far more often than its rival, I still think the CPU was the other target but AMD possibly fell behind on delivery goals for them to wait any longer. This will limit the potential higher attract base that would come from 1080/30 to circa 4K/60 it could have delivered, either or it is still a refinement and generational leap in many ways over its older, weaker brother. It certainly has the grunt to out muscle the Sony box, the huge wealth of Multiplatform titles will look, play and perform better on the X, but the area it lacks the most is also the area its rival is the heavyweight champion of. Software sells hardware, in a few hours Sony will demonstrate that again with Playstation originals and a wealth of titles that make any visible gap in power almost invisible with the onscreen results. It is this part of the jigsaw that Microsoft have not and will not buy into and it could be the most expensive choice they make.

The change in time along with some truly wet and dark mornings has left us a little confused. Asleep in front of the fire at 9pm, wide awake at 6am although perhaps the drumming rain has something to do with that...The boys too are fuddled. Mide finished his lunch yesterday, slid down from his chair and announced he was off for a nap, like some old chap. And he did just that. Tucked himself up in his bed, blanket firmly wrapped around himself and he snoozed for over an hour. I am just very glad that it's school holidays and if anyone wants a mid day sleep it can be done. I am also glad that I am totally lazy parent. School holidays are not for filling up every last minute with 'achievements' or even 'experiences'. No, they are for slow mornings. Playing. Maybe meeting friends. And sleeping, if needed.

Indeed I have completely lost track of the appalling things this lot have done and continue to do. Witness Swans bodyline inspired republic discussion unicorn following his abject failure as treasurer. But for sheer brachiating faeces hurling knuckle draggery the one that leaves the nastiest stench for me is the Australia Day Race Riot. Just the craven benthic lack of principle. Hoick Pttuiii!

"Benthic" I had to look that one up, good one and very apt. The strange thing as that there are many people who still support her and her rotten lot of arseholes. I suppose that when you rely on the government teat you support the government no matter how egregious they are.

Printer-Friendly Version
by Joe Turner
Is your resume holding you back from a great opportunity?
As a recruiter, I've seen thousands of resumes over the past 15 years. The majority of them didn't make the cut and needed major revisions.
The stakes are higher today because the job market has intensified, and employers are more selective than ever. Having a poorly written resume can put you in the rejection pile. Don't let your resume hold you back.
Here are six easy steps to really rock your resume and motivate hiring managers to call you:
1. Apply the Top-Third Rule to Your Resume
Place your key selling statements up in the top one-third of your first page. Your resume gets no more than 20 seconds of eyeball time before your reader has made the decision to either continue reading or to pass. Grab attention early and place your most dramatic sales pitch as close to the top of page one as possible.
2. Focus Your Resume
If your resume lacks this focus, your reader will wonder just what job you are applying for and will require further digging. A title of the target job will suffice. Erase all doubts and focus your resume with verbiage that tells the employer what you seek.
3. Add Keywords to Your Resume
Everyone talks about keywords, but few job-seekers actually include them. Adding a separate keyword section will increase your odds of keyword-searching software flagging your resume on a search. Just as important, a separate keyword paragraph will provide a convenient scan area for the human reader who needs to pre-qualify your hard skills. A separate keyword summary will satisfy both requirements and help your resume pass that 20-second test. Be sure, however, to also use keywords in context throughout the resume as employer software ranks contextual keywords higher than "disembodied" keywords in a keyword summary.
[Editor's note: See our article Tapping the Power of Keywords to Enhance Your Resume and consider using our Resume Keywords Worksheet.]
4. Brand Yourself
Branding is an area that's been getting a lot of play lately, but it's an old concept. "Personal Branding Statement," "Unique Selling Proposition," and "Value-Added Statement," are terms for the same element on a resume. Once again, with regard to that 20-second rule about making a first impression, an employer needs quick and memorable verbiage to distinguish you from 100 or more other candidates. A personal branding statement is ideal because this one sentence tells who you are, your greatest strength, and your biggest benefit to the employer.
Here's an example:
Seasoned CFO, strong in streamlining and automating financial and accounting procedures that have saved my employer over $400,000 to date in consulting and personnel costs.
Place your branding statement at the top of your resume just below your objective. The impact of a hard-hitting statement like this will quickly distinguish you from your competitors with similar skills.
[Editor's note: See our article Branding Your Resume]
5. Answer the Question, "So What?"
In today's competitive job market, skills alone will not sell you. Too many job-seekers focus on their own needs when they should be tuned to the radio station "WIIFM". Realize that today's employer's first question is, "What's in it for me?" A good test for your resume is its ability to answer the question, "So what does this mean for the employer?" after each item in your work history.
Before Example:
Provide and direct financial, cash flow, and tax impact analyses as they relate to the existing portfolio and new acquisitions.
Ask the "So what" question, and then see the After Example:
After Example:
Saved $75,000 in annual outside consulting fees by providing and directing financial, cash flow, and tax impact analyses as they relate to the existing portfolio and new acquisitions.
Imagine how differently an employer will react to the second statement that provide a clear benefit that's important to the hiring organization. Modifying your resume to include some of your achievements can make it come alive to sell you rather than reading like a dull laundry list of job duties. Consider using our Accomplishments Worksheet.
6. Lose the "Razzle-Dazzle"
Unless you're in advertising or marketing and this is an integral part of your job, stay away from graphics, photos of yourself and out-of-the-ordinary symbols. Also watch out for heavy use of color and bolding of text, which can distract your reader. These elements don't always convert well to an employer's computer database. A good rule of thumb: if a resume element doesn't convert to ASCII text, avoid it.
Final Thoughts on Rocking Your Resume
Stop telling and start selling. You have less time than ever to generate interest from an employer flooded with too many resumes. Make these six changes, and your resume will not only rock, but you'll get calls from hiring managers wanting to know more.

Bring the Heat
Thursday, November 6th, 2014
Ploom began with a conversation between two design partners—one smoker, one non-smoker—and the San Francisco-based tobacco company has been re-inventing smoking through their modern vaporizers ever since. Pax, the brand's small-but-mighty model that eliminates smoke but still delivers taste through conduction heat, pairs perfectly with a cozy felt carrying case and tin of Blend X Black Raspberry loose-leaf tobacco.

Welcome students and parents
to the World Language Exploratory class!
to the World Language Exploratory class!
First, let me just say how excited I am to be teaching this class! Today, I met all of my students and was impressed with their enthusiasm and respect for me and for each other. We are off to a great start!
I want to clarify a small point regarding class supplies, as I've already had a few questions... Students should get a 3-ring notebook with pockets. We will be looking at three languages in depth this year, so I would like students to have a place for notes about each one.
Information on grading is available on this website (see the Grading Information tab above), and all students were given a handout today with information on joining our Schoology.com class page, where I will be posting specific information about assignments as well as class notes. If your child was absent today, please see have them see me on Monday.
This year, we will begin with an overview of the languages of the world... How many languages are there? Why does language matter? Why isn't English enough? We will then move on to more detailed study of Latin, then Spanish, then French. In between each language unit, we will spend some time on mini-units about Chinese culture.
At the end of the year, students will be ready to make an informed decision about which language they would like to study for 7th and 8th grade: French, Latin, Mandarin Chinese, or Spanish. And I hope they will be excited to learn more!
Please email me with any questions or concerns: firstname.lastname@example.com. I absolutely love teaching and I love languages... here's to a great year!
Ms. Ritz

I would think so yes I think there's a new possibility ... in me never overestimate Congress ... or Washington ... that's a good rule of law but I think that ... there is a new sense ... that with the House and Senate Republicans might be able to to to put some things on President Obama's desk and is it all up to the Republicans Paul aren't Democrats also incentive eyes to take to get something done ... I don't know how much ... Democrats Brit Brit larger and have incentive to do something I think that ... individual members and Democrats ... have will have an incentive not to be seen as casting unpopular votes ... so they'll have an incentive to get on board was something that Republicans do one in one of the challenges for the Republicans ... is to try to put together some bipartisan coalitions which will make it easier for them to put things on the President's tested Kill have a hard time veto so what are we talking about the immigration reform tax reform ObamaCare ... McRae sure for many years of hard ... it is one of the harder things to get done with opposition from the right although I wouldn't rule it out ... but let's AES things like that trade tips for example ... if the president does ... aam I get some ... agreements done with Europe ... and Asia ... then in the Pacific and I think the Republicans will be rejoice and Democrats and and and probably passed the hosts ... almost can be an easy fight ... corporate tax reform any is harder but I think you'll see an effort made on both sides to get that done but in terms of the early things I think your Tennessee ... will be Mitch McConnell the Senate ... incoming majority leader has said ... he's gonna try to get the Keystone pipeline approval ... put on the run up on the president's desk at the don't do that ... don't get sixty votes in the Senate ... you see I think a rifle shot fixes to Obamacare such a ... well maybe you'll see something on the fact of the forty hour workweek the thirty hour work week that is part of Obamacare which is her part but just are employment ... make that ... forty hours ... something like that I think you'll see the medical device tax ... ah perhaps put on the ... put on the president's task is a lot of support among Democrats for that could all get ... presidents history is any reason to expect and ... to suddenly copper mines are there people right you just don't trust them ... well okay I mean that's not wrong I mean but you don't have to trust ... I mean I think you have to expect ... that ... he might veto things he might veto Keystone so what ... I mean ... hell it began for the country ... but reply to Republicans don't own the White House so they cant that you can't ... im ... you can make in the Zion doesn't wanna do so but but but you they can do what they can do ... so that with what you should try to do ... don't ... pass something in the hope that he will sign for the expectation ... that he was cited passive because you think it's the right thing to do with good legislation you can get a bigger ... pot and if you do ... and he veto said ... then be prepared to have the political fight over whether ... over that Beetel and set the stage a few Republicans for things he doesn't sign ... for the twenty sixteen election passive because you think it's the right thing to do great advice thanks all ... the profile but ... just as we say hello to the new Congress ... were saying farewell to Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn have a listen ... but truly believe ... that freedom gains is ... more ... anything we can plan here ... and I know not everybody agrees with me ... one thing that you know as our founders created ... editoral page editor Paul GBO stays with me now call ... but what ... is so special about Senator Tom Coburn ... while I was like them because I thought he spoke frankly ... he was fun to listen to when he came here he and he was unapologetic in his views the history of the CIA World view I ... agree with fundamentally which the small government ... then he went there to try to limit government of but he also did his homework he was smart ... he out he worked hard to unusual and converse all well and it's not always the brightest group ... and I don't always work work and he was postmarked and work very hard and I were to do his homework their lot of members who say what the staff to ... coal burn did have a staff that was hard working good ... but he also made sure he understood the arguments that he and he can lead them in the right ... direction and tooling restored to the KLIA paper transparency in government yet his waist book that they put out a year ... ATK out this crazy at spending the Congress did ... not thus embarrassing not just to Democrats but also to Republicans to and that to an end to public servants to do that because you're telling the American public this is what is being done in your behalf and with your money ... it there's a tradition in Congress or that bill Koch's Meyer the Democrat from Wisconsin use to have the Golden fleece award in ... aam ... but to either gone by the wayside even as government has expanded spending programs of multiplied and I think that that scrape and Coburn you that he attacked earmarks ... even when Republicans are running Congress ... that was embarrassing to two law to Republicans but it was it was that this is the natural successor to come over and so ... I don't ... I ay ay ay Ron Johnson may be why I love Ron Johnson Ricketson are very conscientious very smart and he also doesn't work and ... so maybe ... he's from a tougher state ... Ron Johnson is from Wisconsin's tougher for conservative and an Oklahoma was ... up it is ... but he's good back to me another as a Senator from Pennsylvania is very good and conscientious so there are some really talented people out there ... aam will see a and and and that probably is only ... mean one or ... two of them on warlike over ... aam but they are but said that they can learn from this example you can learn from his example we wish him well ... the carpet and or Polish ago thanks ... thanks very much ... for a come-on Opinion Journal stated ... welcome back to Opinion Journal I'm Mary Kissel ... this student debt time bomb continues to take care with an update is Assistant Editorial Page Editor ... James Freeman James American combat this problem for on and you know I how big is the student debt on ... its ... the ... market with over a trillion dollars of loans outstanding and figuring out how big it is is not easy to the bigger problem is is not easy given away ... the government reports of problems with these longs for the Fortune Lee and Jason de Lisle reading in our pages this week started to give us a sense of that and a ... lot of people getting forgiveness forbearance various ways to ... avoid paying out ... on time and in full but even given all that the real default rate is almost twenty percent twenty percent while meetings underline that twenty percent now ...

How to protect bangs from being dyed
You'd want to separate what you want to stay bleached from what you want henna-ed. Braid the bleached parts (if you can) to keep them together and less likely to move. If you have to, pin these to your forehead. If you cant braid them, you'll want to use a lot of snap barrettes or bobby pins.
To keep the henna off the hairline of the blonde, you can apply Vaseline or just be very careful about how you apply the henna near that section.
When you wash, wash with your head tipped waaaay back or sit back in a chair with your hair over the tub and have someone wash your hair for you - like at a salon.
Used to do this when my own bangs were bleached.

Ann Arbor officials say revised Heritage Row proposal still offers public benefits
The Ann Arbor City Council will consider a revised version of the Heritage Row apartments proposal when it meets at 7 p.m. Monday inside city hall.
Eight votes are required to approve the planned unit development, which calls for a deviation from the city's existing zoning on 1.23 acres at 407-437 S. Fifth Ave.
The project fell one vote short of approval when it was before council last year, but now council members are rethinking their position in order to stop another development approved for the site — the controversial City Place project, which would result in the demolition of seven homes.
In the time since the City Council voted to reconsider the Heritage Row PUD at its Oct. 3 meeting, the city's staff has reviewed the proposal presented by developer Jeff Helminski and compared it to the original Heritage Row PUD considered by council in June 2010.

Rampson said the developer has revised the proposed PUD supplemental regulations for consideration at first reading tonight. If approved, the project would come back to council for second reading and final approval next Monday night.
With the changes made, Rampson said the city's planning staff has concluded the revised Heritage Row proposal still provides three notable public benefits:
- Affordable housing in excess of that required (14.45 units proposed compared to 12.3 units required)
- Innovation in land use and variety of design through incorporation of a historical streetscape
- Use and reuse of seven century-old homes that contribute to the desired character and form of the established Germantown neighborhood
The following chart was put together by the city's staff to show how the new Heritage Row proposal compares to the one council considered in June 2010:
But it doesn't appear the developer is counting on Heritage Row getting approved. City Place Ann Arbor LLC, which owns the land the seven houses stand on, is asking the City Council tonight to approve a resolution that would allow revised elevations for the City Place project.
The building elevations are being revised to accommodate minor changes to the interior layout of the buildings and to improve exterior aesthetics of the buildings. The developer wants to add windows to the gable ends on the north and south sides and make minor changes to window placement, as well as changes to the approved siding.
Council Member Tony Derezinski, D-2nd Ward, is the sponsor of that resolution, as well as another resolution on tonight's agenda that seeks some flexibility on the city's landscaping and screening requirements for the City Place site plan.
City Place was begrudgingly approved by the City Council in September 2009, despite concerns about aesthetics and whether the project fits the character of the neighborhood. It legally conformed with city codes, so the council felt it had no choice but to approve it.
The developer has since taken several steps that indicate he's serious about moving forward soon, including moving tenants out of the houses and purchasing the property.

Any negotiations for the use of public parking spaces should be kept separate from approvals to build new buildings or demolish existing buildings. I do not like the revised Heritage Row proposal because it does not allow for adequate on-site parking. The City Council is not making itself look any better after blocking approval of the previous Heritage Row proposal by considering the present one. The homes that would be razed if City Place were to be constructed aren't all in the best of shape. The landlords are not doing the greatest job in keeping them up. The idea that they hold historic value that should be preserved is a joke forced upon the developer by the City Council and others who seemingly would prefer poorly kept student housing in the neighborhood.

The landlord who is "not doing the greatest job keeping them up" IS the developer! The developer also declared the houses to be historic when he submitted his Heritage Row proposal and wanted credit for preserving them as a result. You can't have it both ways.

This is just another pathetic example of why rules and regulations should be kept simple. Over the years Council has been gerrymandering the rules to build in this town to serve their own agenda and now it has come back to bite them in the aesthetics. Serves them right for making things so persnickety. Get out of the way and lets get working!

The Build-Nothing's only recourse now is for Carsten Hohnke to chain himself to some "historic" house and hope the bulldozer spots him in time. That's something I'm sure a lot of people in this town would pay to see. Come to think of it, I have an idea to help the city reduce its deficit....

Ann Arbor has the most horrendous public parking of any city in Michigan and it will only be exacerbated by this project.
Mon, Oct 17, 2011 : 4:34 p.m.
I'm still confused by this whole thing. If the City Place project has already been approved and is moving forward, how can City Council approve a different development project (Heritage Row) for the same space?

The developer is allowed under current zoning to do City Place, which is blocky and would require nuking the houses. Heritage Row requires a zoning variance, but looks much better and preserves the houses.

I am opposed to incorporating permits for city parking structures into a development agreement. These proposed units are not downtown and using downtown parking spaces to replace what should be onsite parking blurs the line between Central Area (neighborhoods outside the DDA district) and downtown. It also brings into question the role of the city in providing downtown parking at all. This parking system is supposed to make downtown accessible to local residents while supporting and promoting businesses downtown. It should not be used by Council as pieces in a board game (as they did with Google) to support development, and especially not for developments outside the downtown. Each parking space that is constructed in a new structure and then leased on a monthly permit basis is subsidized by the taxpayers. For example, the new structure at 5th Ave will cost between $50,000-$70,000 to construct. Monthly permit fees are not sufficient to amortize that cost, because such fees would be so expensive that most users would not pay for them. Now that the city is using parking fee revenue to supplement the general fund, any such subsidy is a direct draw both on the general fund and on downtown parking users who are being required to pay higher hourly fees. If I were a developer outside the downtown and saw this deal go down, I'd be asking why I couldn't get a nice subsidy like this too. I'm afraid that the Varsity (which is downtown) may already be attempting to use city parking leases to lower their costs.
Mon, Oct 17, 2011 : 2:09 p.m.
Nice, we've lost 60 more parking spaces. Great work, council!
Mon, Oct 17, 2011 : 8:30 p.m.
Someone has to use that underground parking structure.

{Isaiah 40:11, John 10:11, Psalm 23, Heb. 13:20, 1 Peter 5:4}
A Shepherd or keeper of the sheep; a common profession, a position that was held by many in the Old Testament scriptures; Abraham (Genesis 12:16), Jacob (Genesis 30:31-40), and Moses (Exodus 3:1). Being a shepherd meant you led your sheep to water, protected them from danger, you counted each one daily, the shepherd took care of his sheep, and when they were weak or injured the shepherd would even carry his sheep. His life was about his flock, a flock that the shepherd was willing to give his life for.
It's no surprise that Jesus would call himself Shepherd, because people during that time knew what the role of a shepherd meant. Isaiah 40:11 gives us a visual of what this job as shepherd meant; Jesus far exceeds any earthly shepherd. In the New Testament He is called "The Chief Shepherd" (1 Peter 5:4), "The Great Shepherd" (Hebrews 13:20), and the "Good Shepherd" (John 10:11). In John 10, Jesus Himself is speaking, He calls Himself the good shepherd and then He goes on to say "the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." What makes a good shepherd? He serves and cares for his flock because he loves each one.
John 10:14-16 Jesus tells us "I know my sheep and my sheep know me- just as the father knows me and I know the father- and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also." Jesus knows each of us and as His sheep we know Him, the sheep follow the shepherd, they know their shepherd. Jesus' sheep were not just limited to Jews but extended to gentiles ("other sheep") Jesus had His eyes set on the bigger picture, past just Jews-His love and care extends to each of us. We get to join His flock and follow our Shepherd.

The Chartered Institute of Housing have recommended measures for the July 2015 Emergency Budget, saying it is an opportunity for government to take further steps to address the country's housing supply crisis by building more affordable homes, improving standards for private renters and giving councils more resources to tackle rogue landlords. A new body, the Housing and Finance Institute, backed by the Treasury is to launch in the next few weeks. Its remit will be to help accelerate council house building. EC Harris, in their whitepaper People and Money: Fundamental to unlocking the housing crisis, argues that access to labour and money is more important than planning and land availability.
The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and The Centre for Partnership are teaming up to expand the Graduate Employment Mentoring (GEM) programme. The programme currently involves 20 housing associations across the country, providing paid traineeships, developing the housing leaders of the future. The #loveLIVES campaign has reached its target, with £400,000 raised in 50 days to save Building Lives. This means Building Lives can continue to put Londoners through apprenticeships over the next three months and beyond.
A new edition of AD E has been published by DCLG. This is the 2003 edition incorporating amendments for 2004, 2010, 2013 and 2105. The main changes are an update of the references to standards for schools. There has been no change to Part E of Schedule 1 of the Building Regulations (England) 2010. For the time being, Wales will continue to use the original AD E 2010 edition in most cases.
Changes have been made to the Scottish Building Standards sections 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7. A copy of the summary of changes to the 2015 Handbooks can be downloaded from the Scottish Building Standards website
CDM 2015 is a practical, concise and handy guide to utilise the new CDM Regulations for architects, as well as contractors, clients and consultants who will need to understand and collaborate with them.
The new representative organisation for the contracting supply chain, a merger between NSCC and UKCG, is to be known as Build UK and will be operational from September. Construction News recently reported that the future of the Construction Leadership Council is being assessed by the government.
