Rob Moose (born 1982) is an American multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, conductor, and orchestrator. He primarily plays the violin, viola, and guitar.

Early life and education
Moose was born in 1982. He was raised in Windsor, Connecticut and learned piano and violin at The Hartt School. He attended the Loomis Chaffee School through 10th grade, before moving with his family to Moorestown, New Jersey. He completed high school at Moorestown Friends School, graduating in 2000. Moose studied violin at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. He began a master's program in American studies at Columbia University, but left to join Antony and the Johnsons on tour in 2005.

Career

Instrumentalist
Moose met Sufjan Stevens in 2004 after being introduced to him by Shara Worden, who was then a member of Stevens' touring band. Moose made his first major contribution in 2005, playing violin on Stevens' album Illinois (2005).

As a violinist, violist, guitarist, and mandolinist, Moose has performed on close to 500 albums, including albums by artists such as Gwen Stefani, Maren Morris, Rufus Wainwright, Alabama Shakes, John Legend, and Joshua Bell. He appeared on the Grammy Award-winning albums High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project (2009) by Loudon Wainwright III and The Suburbs (2010) by Arcade Fire. In addition, he has contributed to Nico Muhly's score for Howards End (2017) and Nicholas Britell's scores for Free State of Jones (2016) and Battle of the Sexes (2017).

Arranger
Moose has worked as a music arranger for records by numerous artists including The Decemberists, Interpol, The National, St. Vincent, Bon Iver, Tune-Yards, LeAnn Rimes, They Might Be Giants, Trey Anastasio, Bruce Hornsby, Paul Simon, Sara Bareilles, Punch Brothers, Phoebe Bridgers, and Taylor Swift. His relationship with Blake Mills has resulted in collaborations on albums by John Legend, Alabama Shakes, Laura Marling, Jim James, Perfume Genius, Dawes and Jesca Hoop. Moose has also contributed arrangements to classical artists such as Joshua Bell and Renée Fleming, and his work was featured on the Grammy Award-winning album High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project (2009) by Loudon Wainwright III.

Moose has contributed to three benefit albums by Red Hot Organization, including interpreting Johann Sebastian Bach piano works as a duo with mandolinist Chris Thile on Red Hot + Bach (2014). Moose has also been a frequent contributor to Ben Folds' Declassified Series with the National Symphony Orchestra, writing charts for Sara Bareilles, Regina Spektor, Emily King and Blake Mills.

Conducting and performing
In 2007, Moose made his debut as a conductor and orchestrator in a performance with Sufjan Stevens at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Opera House. He was the conductor on Antony and the Johnsons' live album Cut the World (2012). He has worked as a conductor at numerous venues, including the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Royal Opera House. Moose has also conducted orchestras in performance for Anohni, Sufjan Stevens, and Bruce Hornsby. Moose's orchestrations have been performed by Laura Marling and 12 Ensemble, Amos Lee with the Colorado Symphony, and by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.

Moose has toured with Antony and the Johnsons, Sufjan Stevens, The National, Beth Orton, Glen Hansard, and Blake Mills, and My Brightest Diamond. He has also played viola in performance with Jay-Z and played violin in performance for Savion Glover, Josh Groban, Vampire Weekend, and Duncan Sheik. Recently, Moose served as the musical director for Sara Bareilles' "Amidst the Chaos" tour in 2019.

Production
Moose has worked as a producer on Ben Folds' So There (2015), Gabriel Kahane's The Ambassador (2014), Time for Three's 2014 eponymous debut album, My Brightest Diamond's All Things Will Unwind (2011) The Staves and yMusic's collaborative album The Way Is Read (2017), and Phoebe Bridgers' EP Copycat Killer (2020).

yMusic
Moose is a founding member of the New York sextet chamber ensemble yMusic. Moose formed yMusic with trumpeter CJ Camerieri in Brooklyn in 2008. The ensemble consists of a trumpet, flute, clarinet, violin, viola, and cello. As of 2020, yMusic has released five studio albums. yMusic play classical and pop music compositions and also assist other artists in adding classical elements to their music. After collaborating on Ben Folds' album So There (2015) yMusic joined the "Ben Folds & yMusic" tour in 2015 and 2016, performing in the US, UK and Australia and at the Bonnaroo Music Festival and the Holland Festival. They also collaborated with Swedish singer José González on a 16-date concert tour reimagining original works at venues such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Beacon Theatre. González described the collaboration as "it feels like it opens us up from sounding energetic and avant-garde to classic and delicate."

Bon Iver
In 2011, Moose joined Bon Iver. He contributed musical arrangements and recorded strings for the group's self-titled second album, Bon Iver (2011). The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2019. The album won Best Alternative Music Album at the 2012 Grammy Awards, while the band won Best New Artist for their work on it. Moose toured with Bon Iver, including performing four sold-out concerts at Radio City Music Hall and an appearance on Saturday Night Live. Bon Iver's third studio album, 22, A Million (2016), featured Moose's violin and viola arrangements on "22 (OVER S∞∞N)" and saxophone arrangements by Moose throughout. Moose contributed to the band's fourth studio album, I, I (2019). Moose contributed violin, viola, octave viola, piano, string arrangements, and all "Worm Crew" arrangements. He served as the "Worm Crew" conductor. Moose has songwriting credits on "iMi", "Holyfields,", and "Marion".

A Stronger Council
by Robert Herold & r & & r & & lt;span class= & quot;dropcap & quot; & I & lt;/span & was, and remain, a strong supporter of the strong mayor form of government. I have argued that the council-manager form of government abdicated responsibility to the unaccountable "permanent government" -- the bureaucracy. The old system also placed the city attorney in a quasi-policy-making role, and it made political leadership a sometime thing. Moreover, I was of the opinion that Spokane had become so demographically diverse that issues which could, in the past, have been dealt with as apolitical, administrative matters, by the late '90s begged for political resolution. It was time for elected officials to stand for something.
Following one formal debate on the strong mayor issue, I was approached by retired police chief Bob Panther. Panther said that he agreed with me in theory, but he worried that Spokane simply couldn't produce the talent necessary to make the strong mayor system work. I've referred often to Panther's astute warning and have used his critique as a measure of the success.
If Mayor John Powers failed in part because he confused salesmanship with leadership, Mayor Dennis Hession brings to the office, so far, a different but maybe just as dysfunctional a style. Whereas Powers was emotive, Hession obviously prefers decision-making to be ideally bloodless. Confusing dignity for leadership, he makes decisions in isolation, relying heavily on his legal staff to buttress positions that he seems reluctant or, worse, unable to articulate and defend in public. Instead of seeking broader input, Hession shuts things down by structuring the debate so as to exclude alternative views. He relies on staff members who won't complicate matters. He prefers consulting with his lawyers, which suggests that he fails to understand that they see their job as making it possible for the mayor to do what he wants to do -- in other words, they figure out clever ways to tell him what he wants to hear.
& lt;span class= & quot;dropcap & quot; & N & lt;/span & ow Hession seeks to shut dialogue down even further. He has told the City Council that it has no role to play whatsoever after it passes an ordinance or resolution. Call this the "butt out" school of thought. The council should understand this assertion to represent the mayor's general view about how our government should function.
Hession's argument rests on the premise that there's a clear line between legislation and administration, and that he alone knows where that line is to be drawn. But is placement of the line really so obvious? It can be argued that we have two parallel lines, and that the so-called "administrative process" (which Hession claims is his alone) falls in the area of overlap. Can public administration ever be viewed apart from its inherently political operational environment? Which brings us to the question: In a separation-of-powers system, how should power be shared?
Surely it cannot be argued that the council's role does not extend to legislative oversight. How else could the council expect to consider and pass new ordinances if it has no way of evaluating legislative work-in-progress? Nor should we forget that the council holds the power of the purse. If the executive doesn't want to let the council in on what's going on, the council can exercise influence through the threat of budget reductions and reprioritization. Yes, the council has been taken out of the day-to-day administrative operations and doesn't enjoy the "bully pulpit" that now is occupied by the mayor. But the council remains in a position to exercise great influence -- if it ever chooses to exert its authority.
Mayor Hession has always deflected questions about his political philosophy with the line: "I just want to work on issues" -- as if "issues" and "politics" are easily distinguishable. They aren't. "Working on issues" apart from acknowledging the presence of political consequences may have worked on the Park Board, where Hession served for so many years, but it won't work in the mayor's office. Protected by his bureaucracy, Hession, until his political capital has completely evaporated, can continue to shoehorn political issues into his politically sanitized administrative boxes. If he does, he distorts the very basis of the strong-mayor form of government. The public tossed the council-manager system because it was tired of unelected bureaucrats running the city all behind a smokescreen of "expertise" -- a play that Hession's style promises to rerun. This is all the more reason for the council to weigh in with its own version of checks and balances.
& lt;span class= & quot;dropcap & quot; & W & lt;/span & hile each of our three strong mayors has struggled with questionable success to institutionalize our new government, one thing is certain: The council has done no better. When confronted by yet another assertion of executive autonomy, the council merely grumbles. Perhaps unwittingly, the mayor, by drawing his line, will finally have forced the council to take some responsibility to provide an answer to the question: What exactly is the appropriate council role?
However it approaches this problem, the council, I believe, can and should use Mayor Hession's assertions to make a strong case for having its own policy analysis operation. Specifically, hiring one experienced analyst, supported by a skilled researcher and number cruncher, aided by a full-time secretary. Without such support, the council is ill equipped to offer informed deliberation and oversight. For the council to continue to rely exclusively for analysis and information on a bureaucracy that the mayor has declared off-limits makes no sense at all.

This is a new area of the UA 322 web site on which we will post photos and updates or short stories of UA 322 members and their families serving in the military.
If you or a member of your family would like to be included on this page please contact the union hall and supply the necessary information including a photo if you wish one posted here.
At left is a picture of Jeffery Riggs Sr. with his son, Jeffery Riggs Jr. after being commissioned as an Ensign in the US Navy. Jeffery graduated in May from Villanova University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He is now stationed in Pensacola, Florida for training as a Naval Pilot.
Brother Calvin Pierce submitted this photo of himself and his platoon in La Lista, Dominican Republic while on duty in April, 2006 with the Army National Guard as part of Operation New Horizons which is helping to build clinics using the RBS building systems.
Operation New Horizons, or Nuevos Horizontes as it's known among Spanish speaking participants, is an engineer humanitarian civic assistance exercise designed to give training to Guard, Reserve and active duty units in civilian construction or medical care services. Participating American troops build basic infrastructure (roads, bridges, schools, wells, etc.) and provide medical, dental and veterinary services.


Gini Courter said that we need a 50 year vision.
Some of my friends think that 50 years is an impossible planning horizon. One even called it "oppressive" in that it imagines one generation imposing its will on the future.
I have no idea how seriously Courter meant 50 years. Maybe it was the equivalent of the Biblical 40 years -- meaning a long time.
I also don't know what she meant as a "vision". All these re-organization words -- mission, vision, strategy, objective, plan etc. -- are vague and often interchangeable. People can project what they want, or don't want, into the words as a method of argument. People describe "visions" as words on paper signifying nothing or as Stalinist masterplans enforced by bureaucratic terror, and everything in between.
But everybody I know thinks that there is something missing in Unitarian Universalism as it is a practiced, some passionate purpose that is beyond shared belief, greater than religious community, and not fully expressed in our public ministry.
I think that it is remarkable that a UUA moderator, in her last report, would so freely admit that even people at that level know that there is something missing. It was a confession that they are bouncing around from tactic to strategy and back again with goal no greater than growing. And while the absolute numbers are holding, there are no new plants.
So what's missing? Call it vision, call it shared theology, call it mission, UU-ness, call it the X-Factor.
More than it, we need to think about it, and in ways that penetrate the thick clouds of derp that cloud our view.
The idea of 50 year vision was an area of considerable discussion and work by the BoT and administration. Scenarios like you mentioned wee considered as factors: social stratification, resource depletion, climate change and mass movements that created social democracy. We also looked at spiritual but not institutional, and anti authoritarian but seeking community currents in emerging generations. Conclusions were that new ways of educating lay and ordained leaders, new visions of institutions, and the possibility of new media creating virtual governace and affinity formation.
Both the BoT and administration see getting out of 25 and its phony "heritage" as part of long range planning for beyond this generation vision. The new location allows us to over time relocate staff because the Farnsworth building can be leased as we decentralize.
Opening ourselves to new ways to create community, new ways to concieve congregations, ways we can privilege younger generations without tokenism.
Clyde, thanks for the Board's viewpoint. I am reassured that you have thought about it all and have the situation well in hand.
Having looked at scenarios and possibilities isn't the same as having the situation well at hand, the vision must be held by the whole association.
I am not sure I understand the idea of visioning as generationally oppressive. It isn't policy, or an institution, it can be updated, or revised or rejected with new insights. It has motivational power and allows for the investment of resources. We don't invest well in five year or seven year spurts.
What I liked about what Gini said was that she named several of the issues that those of us that have been around for a long time have seen: a lack of clarity about the appropriate role of the UUA (I have heard a lot of good men propose outlandish ideas as to what they planned to do in their administration from ending nuclear war to ending racism. Is that really what our churches need the UUA President to focus on? I needed the UUA to help me help my local church. If they had helped us a lot more with the mechanics of church, we wouldn't have had to invent them one by one and would have had a lot more time for mission. Instead of one guy spending a lot of time talking about Global Warming or Gay Marriage, you could take the load off local groups inventing how to build a building, evaluate a ministry, finding cheap loans, etc. and let the hundreds of local congregations worrying about the mundane speak out on Global Warming and Gay Marriage. The one professional in most congregations is likely to be a person with an interest in and training for theological leadership in churches and communities. So why not take the load off the amateurs and the theological professionals in congregations by developing sets of "best practices" in the areas in which we don't have particular expertise? Or now that the internet is around, culling some of those "best practices" and disseminating them?
An example: for the last half century there have been a great many problematic clergy who have been sexually predatory, or engaged in other misconduct which has harmed individuals and destroyed the institutional health of countless congregations. There is no, clear, institutional response to this situation. Most such behavior has gone unaddressed and there is no standard response nor is the MFC nor district staff well trained in response. When such a minister leaves, there is no protocol for aiding the congregation in healing. Interim training does not address this issue. It is a justice issue. It is a growth issue. It is a long standing issue. But there is no coherent philosophy nor practical process for dealing with the situation.
We say R.E. is important. Where is a sixteen year curricula that will help adults aid children in their spiritual development and practice?
What does the UUA do that is not episodic, but is planned out and tested through time?
Is there anything that is not personality driven?
I am not sure that the UUA needs to provide a grand theological vision so much as a unified organization that facilitates the theological vision developed by others. I think your idea that that work should best be done by UU clergy and scholars may be correct.

Comedy Central announced today that Jon Stewart will be leaving The Daily Show later this year.
A presidential election cycle looms, but one of the men most associated with covering presidential politics since the first election of George W. Bush won't be sitting in his usual spot: Comedy Central confirmed on Tuesday that Jon Stewart is stepping down later this year from his post at The Daily Show.
Stewart took over the show from original host Craig Kilborn in 1999, and under him, it became not just a popular comedy series, but a source of news and information for its audience, devoted in spirit if not enormous in numbers. Comedy Central will be hammered with speculation until the show's precise future is known, but the network said in its official statement that The Daily Show is a "cultural touchstone" and vowed it would "endure for years to come." Presumably, that means it intends to find a new host rather than replace the entire show with something else, as it did when Stephen Colbert left for CBS. The Colbert Report ended and Larry Wilmore's The Nightly Show debuted.
Stewart will reportedly address his departure on Tuesday night's show, but not a lot is known yet about the reasons for this decision — although a guy doesn't always need an overwhelmingly specific reason to leave a job after more than 15 years. Stewart took a leave of absence in 2013 to write and direct his first feature film, Rosewater, based on the memoir of a journalist imprisoned in Iran. Perhaps he caught the directing bug — he would not be the first. Perhaps he's done what he can in this form and longs to try another. Perhaps he can't face another election. People leave the jobs that made them famous and do OK for themselves. Ask George Clooney.
Whatever his reason, Stewart leaves behind not only a massive archive of episodes of this show, but also influence that extends to other shows and even networks: at Comedy Central, there's Wilmore, at CBS, there's Colbert, and at HBO, there's John Oliver — who parlayed his guest-host gig for Stewart during that Rosewater leave into a well-regarded project of his own. Much will be said in the months to come about Jon Stewart's Daily Show legacy, but on the night of this announcement, it seems somehow apt that Stewart's fake-news departure is hopelessly tangled in media news with the suspension of Brian Williams from NBC's flagship nightly news program. There's a fine line at times between news and comedy. A fine, fine line — and Jon Stewart will soon leave it to others to stomp on it.
The premiere name in fake news will be leaving his anchor desk.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: From Comedy Central's world news headquarters in New York, this is "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart.
SIEGEL: Jon Stewart will leave "The Daily Show" this year. Comedy Central made the announcement late today. For more on this, we're joined by NPR's Linda Holmes, who's our pop culture blogger. Hi, Linda.
SIEGEL: Do we know why Jon Stewart is leaving "The Daily Show?"
HOLMES: We really don't. He's reportedly going to address it on tonight's episode of his show. Maybe he'll say a little more then. He did take a leave of absence in 2013 to make a feature film called "Rosewater" which came out in 2014. Perhaps he's interested in more directing. I thin we won't know until he says more.
SIEGEL: So no word on his future plans, in that case?
HOLMES: No, I don't think so - not yet.
SIEGEL: How would you describe the mark that Jon Stewart has made on that show and beyond it?
HOLMES: Well, he was not the original host. Craig Kilborn hosted that show for the first couple of years, and I think once Jon Stewart came to "The Daily Show," it increased in credibility and visibility and really became an institution. And beyond that, he also then sort of spun off Stephen Colbert into "The Colbert Report." Obviously, he's taking over for David Letterman at CBS - also, Larry Wilmore who now has "The Nightly Show" at Comedy Central. And John Oliver who sat in for Jon Stewart during that leave of absence now has a weekly show at HBO in a very similar format called "Last Week Tonight." So he's got a lot of people who have followed in his footsteps kind of.
SIEGEL: Will Comedy Central continue "The Daily Show" without Jon Stewart?
HOLMES: The Comedy Central announcement indicates that they will. They said that the show was a cultural touchstone and would endure for years to come. So presumably, they don't merely mean endure as a - as an artifact. So presumably, they intend to pick somebody else. The speculation over who that person will be will be fast and furious to say the least.
SIEGEL: But that's some pair of shoes to fill on that program, and do you think that "The Daily Show" can actually be successful without Stewart?
HOLMES: I do. I think John Oliver's guest stint in 2013 was very successful. I think that if you can follow Johnny Carson as the host of "The Tonight Show," you can follow Jon Stewart as the host of "The Daily Show." It is a format that is supported by a lot of terrific writers and a lot of people who work really hard. It's not just a one-man show.
SIEGEL: Do we have any idea why this announcement would be made on a Tuesday night in February of no particular importance?
HOLMES: You know, I think the timing on these things always comes out. You know, as we go along, we'll presumably learn a little but more about how this has all been decided. And at some point, somebody will figure more of that stuff out, but it kind of came out of nowhere, as far as I know. I had heard - I had not heard anything until today.
SIEGEL: OK. Thank you, Linda.
SIEGEL: That's NPR's Linda Holmes who writes our pop culture blog, "Monkey See." She's reporting on Comedy Central's announcement today that Jon Stewart will be leaving "The Daily Show." Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The Lee Valley Lions' wait for a victory in the National Ice Hockey League South Division 2 this season goes on, after defeats to the Guildford Phoenix and Basingstoke Buffalo this past weekend.
The Lions welcomed Guildford to Lee Valley Ice Centre on Saturday, and the home side were able to ice a strong side with only a few absentees. And the Lions were energetic in the early stages, creating several chances and testing Guildford goaltender Jacob Stoodley. It was the visitors who got onto the scoreboard first, however, as Jacob Rondeau-Smith scored in the 16th minute.
The Lions were left unperturbed by this, striking twice within the next three minutes to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission; firstly Czech forward Tomas Hnilica scored with an assist from Joe Berry, before Hnilica turned provider for a goal by Gus Zimmerman.
The second period was a tight affair early on, with no scoring coming until the 12th minute of the period when Guildford tied things up at 2-2 through Taylor Wootton, and then went 3-2 ahead just a few minutes later as Wootton scored again. The middle period would end with the Lions trailing 3-2 and looking to bounce back in the final frame.
The Lions made a poor start to the third period however, as Wootton scored again at the 44 minute mark to seal a hat-trick and extend the Guildford lead to 4-2. The Lions were able to bounce back in the 48th minute though, Hnilica scoring his second goal of the game with assists from Berry and Dexter Crawford to cut Guildford's advantage to 4-3.
Unfortunately for the Lions, the game was taken away from them in the final 12 minutes as Guildford scored four more times to take an 8-3 win; goals coming through Taylor Wootton (two more goals bringing him up to five on the evening), Luke Becker and Bailey Wootton.
The Lions then travelled to Basingstoke on Sunday to take on the Basingstoke Buffalo, missing several key players including top scorer Tomas Hnilica.
The game got off to the worst possible start for the Lions, as they conceded after just one minute, the Buffalo going 1-0 up through Cameron Buckle. And the Buffalo extended that advantage to 2-0 just under five minutes later as Samuel Brooks netted for the Hampshire side.
There were to be no more goals in the first period, meaning the Lions went into the second period trailing 0-2. This then became 3-0 in favour of the Buffalo in the 29th minute as Warren Jones scored for the home side.
The Lions did get a goal back just over a minute later however, as player-coach James Joseph scored his first goal since November 2015 to cut the deficit to 3-1. Assists on the goal came from Ben Gillingham and captain Simon Jones.
Unfortunately for the Lions, they couldn't capitalise on this goal, conceding two more before the second period was up – Jason Newman netting twice for the Buffalo to give them a 5-1 lead heading into the final period.
The Lions were not able to get back into the game in the third period, with three more Buffalo goals increasing the scoreline to 8-1; Mark Austen, Samuel Brooks and Jason Newman doing the damage. After a fight between Lions defenceman Jake Wadge and Buffalo forward Jack Reddin, the visiting Lions did get one goal back as Gus Zimmerman netted on the powerplay; but this was no more than a consolation goal, as the Buffalo ran out 8-2 winners.
The weekend's results leave the Lions 15th in the table, but they are still just one point behind 14th place side Swindon – to whom the Lions travel this upcoming Sunday 27th January for a crucial away game. Faceoff in Swindon will be at 18:15.

Compassionate Family Law Advocate in Conroe
CALL FOR A CONSULTATION 936.213.8088
Enforcement of Court Orders
Experienced & Compassionate Family Law Advocate Resolving Family Conflict in the State of Texas
Modifications Attorney in Conroe
Can a Child Support or Custody Agreement Be Changed?
During a divorce, one of the things parents must agree on is how their child or children will be raised—where they will live, who will pay for what, and how often each parent will be able to see them. If parents cannot agree, a judge will rule on child support, custody, and visitation. However, things change and child support and custody agreements that made sense at the time of the divorce may no longer be the best option.
Child support and custody orders can be changed through a process called modification. Modification is exactly what it sounds like: the process of modifying a previously instated child support, custody, or visitation agreement. To discuss your situation with a modification attorney in Conroe, reach out to the Law Office of Denise Norman today. We have an in-depth understanding of complex Texas family laws and can help you clearly understand your options.
Contact our firm at (936) 213-8088 today to request a consultation.
How Does the Court Decide on Modifications?
Though it is possible to modify a child support or custody order, the process is not intended to accommodate parents who no longer wish to pay child support or those who want to alter a custody agreement for any reason. In fact, there are several factors the court will look at when deciding on whether to make a modification.
Some of the things the court will look at include:
Whether or not the circumstances of either or both parents have substantially changed
If a certain part of the original order/agreement is no longer appropriate or doable
Whether or not one of the parents has moved without providing the required 60 days' notice
In order to successfully modify a child support order or custody agreement, you must show that one of these things have occurred. Examples of a considerable change in circumstances could include one parent remarrying, obtaining or losing a job, or falling ill.
The modification process can be complex and generally requires that you prove why a modification should be made. It is also important to remember that, as with all legal issues relating to children, the court will always favor what it deems the best interests of the child. It's wise to seek trusted legal counsel from an experienced modification lawyer serving Conroe, Montgomery County, and the surrounding areas. Our attorney can help you navigate the process from start to finish, offering personalized, compassionate guidance and tireless representation every step of the way.
If you need to make modifications to a child support, custody, or visitation arrangement, call our office at (936) 213-8088 or contact us online today.

Judge Orders Suspended Sentence For Human Trafficking
A man has been given a suspended sentence in Belfast for human trafficking and money laundering offences.
35 year-old Marian Ilie was handed one years imprisonment suspended for two years at Laganside Crown Court on Thursday 30 January.
He is the fourth person to be convicted under the new 2015 Human Trafficking Legislation in Northern Ireland.
Police secured the prosecution without relying on any evidence provided by the victims after arresting Ilie as part of a proactive investigation into the trafficking of women into Northern Ireland for the purposes of sexual exploitation.
Head of the PSNI's Specialist Investigations Unit, Detective Superintendent Richard Campbell said: "Evidence secured by police identified Marian Ilie as being involved in the exploitation of these women and while he had a less prominent role in the trafficking operation, today's sentence demonstrates that no matter what part you play in exploitation and human trafficking, you will be brought to justice."
Police have urged anyone who believes they are being exploited to contact detectives using non-emergency line 101.
Information can also be provided anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.

Ep.69: Larry Feinberg – chumming new waters

Ep. 69: Larry Feinberg – CEO & co-founder of KnipBio ||
On episode 69 of Sourcing Matters we welcome Larry Feinberg – CEO & Co-founder of KnipBio. A Boston-Based technology company pioneering advanced nutritional solutions for animal feeds since 2013, KnipBio offers a range of single cell protein products that come from non-food feedstocks. It's their mission to secure the quality and safety of food globally, in a sustainable, cost-effective way. KnipBio has just recently eared a GRAS Green Light from FDA for Novel Aquafeed Protein. The sky is now the limit for these social innovators set on using financial return to do more good.
Accounting for over 50% of total seafood sourced, aquaculture has developed some scale issues.. It's not as simple as saying that we'll continue to move in the direction of farming more fish. It's not just about the higher trophic level fish we consume. The issue is that much of the aquaculture infrastructure is reliant on pulling from the smaller fish in the sea – to feed the larger fish we consume. The alternative feedstuff for our aquaculture fish can also often soy, or other crops grown on land using input-based conventional practice leading to an unsustainable perpetual cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Prior to launching this revolutionary company, Larry Feinberg, PhD. completed his doctoral studies at the University of Massachusetts where he focused on biogeochemistry, physiology and genetics of hyperthermophilic microbes. He has deep expertise in early-stage technology ventures and bio-product discovery. At Mascoma Corporation, he led the Organism Discovery group and New Business Opportunities team.
Tune to hear more about the state of the oceans, our fisheries and the future of aquaculture. In our 40 minute conversation we learn about how Larry and his team at KnipBio are set on developing a more sustainable model for producing enough seafood to feed half the world by looking at from a microscopic POV.

Ep.68: Gov. Christine Whitman – EPA & Fluid Politics
http://www.sourcingmatters.show/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ep.-68-Christine.Whitman.FluidPolitics.mp3
Ep. 68: Christine Todd Whitman – President of Whitman Strategy Group, the 50th Governor of New Jersey, and former Administrator of the EPA for President George W. Bush ||
On episode 68 of Sourcing Matters we welcome Governor Christine Todd Whitman, the Vice Chair of the Eisenhower Fellowships board of Trustees. Joining as co-host is Eisenhower Fellow, Jennifer Hashley – the founder of the The New Entry Sustainable Farming project, and Pete & Jen's Backyard Birds.
Governor Whitman is American Republican politician and author who served as the 50th Governor of New Jersey, from 1994 to 2001, and was the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the administration of President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2003. Whitman was New Jersey's first and, to date, only female governor, and also the first Republican woman to be reelected governor. Governor Christine Whitman is currently President of The Whitman Strategy Group (WSG), a consulting firm that specializes in energy and environmental issues.
From Jan. 1994 – Jan. 2001 – Whitman served as the 50th Governor of New Jersey. During our dialogue we learn that the Governor of the State of New Jersey constitutionally has the most power of any Governor in all of the 50 states. We must understand that during her tenure – Christie Whitman earned praise from both Republicans and Democrats for her commitment to preserve a record amount of New Jersey land as permanent green space. She was also recognized by the Natural Resources Defense Council as having instituted the most comprehensive beach monitoring system in the nation.
As part of our 45 minute conversation we discuss her transformative work with the EPA to introduce legislation which held perpetrators for Brownfield contamination (a former industrial or commercial site where future use is affected by real or perceived environmental contamination) accountable. We learn that it was Ronald Reagan who introduced climate change as cornerstone in the national security discussion. Now, using that as a call to action for all leaders no matter which side of the aisle, Whitman clearly differentiates between climate concerns vs. weather. And, how polarization and finger pointing has been impetus for a political divide tied appreciation for climate change which has arisen together over the past 20 years ago.
As the Vice Chair of the Eisenhower Fellowship Board of trustees we learn how Gov. Whitman's current role as an ambassador and mentor to a global community of future leaders continues to inspire her work. Core to the mission of the fellowship program, Whitman states that "We have more alike than different." When asked what advice she has for folks seeking hiring office or for those seeking to become a Head of State – she explains "do the job you're in, and the next one will come with hard work and commitment." Great advice for us all.

Ep. 67: Secretary Dan Glickman – Executive Dir. of the Aspen Institute Congressional Program – former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture ||
On episode 67 of Sourcing Matters we're joined by Secretary Dan Glickman. Secretary Glickman is currently the Executive Director of the Aspen Institute Congressional Program – a nongovernmental, nonpartisan educational program for members of the United States Congress. Dan Glickman served as the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture from March 1995 until January 2001. Under his leadership, the Department administered farm and conservation programs; modernized food safety regulations; forged international trade agreements to expand U.S. markets; and improved its commitment to fairness and equality in civil rights.
Prior to heading the USDA for President Clinton, Dan Glickman also served for 18 years in the U.S. House of Representatives representing the 4th Congressional District of Kansas. During that time, he was a member of the House Agriculture Committee, including six years as chairman of the subcommittee with jurisdiction over federal farm policy issues.
Additionally, Sec. Glickman is the 6th member of the PEW commission on industrial farm animal production that we've profiled on Sourcing Matters. The 2007 PEW commission report was a study of the Impact of Industrial (US) Farm Animal Production on issues of public health, environment, animal welfare and social justice. It was a monumental series of reports that has established a new way forward for consumers and the industry to re-introduce values and ethics back into many of the proteins we eat.
During our 40 minute conversation we also discuss Secretary Glickman's 7 years as Chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). His time spent as Director of the Institute of Politics at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, and we chat about a few of the boards he sits on – including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange; Communities in Schools; Food Research and Action Center, National 4-H Council; and the Center for U.S. Global Engagement.
TuneIn to hear what this well rounded thought-leader has to say about our food, agriculture, policy and the current administration. This one you don't want miss.

Ep. 66: Rob Burns – co-founder & President of Night Shift Brewery -ft. co-host: Jay Vilar of Nourish ||
On the show we've discussed wine, weed, all kinds of meats, seafood, breads, vegetables, sweets, coffee, savories and nearly everything else on the table. But, what brings it all together better than anything else? What not only pairs with all, but enhances each with every gulp – well, it's beer!
On episode 66 of Sourcing Matters we jump into the evolving world of craft beer. Rob Burns, President and co-founder of Night Shift brewery joins us to discuss a journey into differentiated beer focused on craft and quality. Hey, I think you should listen as this is my beer of choice.
Spawned in the birthplace of agriculture, society and culture – this original fermented brew was first stumbled upon back in the 5th millennium BC. Since, that process of mixing four simple ingredients – water, malt, hops and yeast – has been keeping gut health balanced, our drinking water clean, and smiles on our faces all over the world. As I get older, that keeping gut balanced means not just a healthy microflora, but keeping our beer guts in check, and not hanging over the belt!
The world of beer is changing quickly as consumers interests evolve. According to the Brewers Association, in 2017, craft brewer sales accounted for 12.7 percent of the U.S. beer market by volume. In 2007, craft brewer sales accounted for a mere 3.8 percent of the U.S. beer market. During our 40 minute conversation we explore how beer has paved a path for differentiating more food categories. After all, it's the same consumer buying this craft beer as we seek to connect with for food produced using elevated production standards. Joining the conversation as cohost is Jay Vilar – the founder, and a Practitioner at 'Nourish' – a bespoke consulting company with a mission to educate, teach, and train people on the benefits of using food to heal your body and optimize your health.
Join in on our exciting and engaging conversation on something near and dear to most of us all. Cheers!

Ep. 64: Thor Sigfusson – Founder and Chairman of the Iceland Ocean Cluster ||
On episode 64 of Sourcing Matters we welcome Icelandic entrepreneur, author and speaker Thor Sigfusson to the show. Thor is the founder & chairman of Iceland Ocean Cluster. It's the mission of the Iceland Ocean Cluster (IOC) to create value in the seafood industry and for the planet by connecting together entrepreneurs, businesses and knowledge for future marine industries. To serve this mission, Thor and his team have established a new type of working forum that will incubate and propagate new ideas for our future fisheries.
Beginning with the Ocean Cluster House in Reykjavik harbor – The Iceland Ocean Cluster is now pooling together satellite locations in coastal cities of the US, and eventually the World – in effort to work in unison in tackling many of the biggest problems facing our shrinking planet. Each cluster site will be filled with like minded entrepreneurs and a business ecosystem to support and invest in a replicable model for a modern marine innovation economy. During our 40 minute conversation we learn that fishing communities around the globe have many similar fish-to-fry. We learn that there are fundamental problems with an antiquated seafood industry, and in dealing with our warming Oceans which need new perspective – now!
Previous to spawning the IOC, Sigfusson co-founded Codland. He's also launched a few food halls in Iceland, and he's responsible for the creation of the Ocean House. Additionally, he's written five books on topics of international business, knowledge networks and salmon. Schooled in the US, and most recently spending a good amount of time in New England and the Northwest – we ask Thor for his perspective on the current state of affairs of US fisheries. TuneIn to hear his surprising response.
The need for action on these big problems we face together is real and it's immediate. Sigfusson has been busy curating a fresh crop of smart and passionate folks set on doing well by doing great good through defining solutions of change. It's Sigfusson's goal to leverage his overworked coffee machine and the engaging interactions that it's brewed to steer a new blue food economy for the betterment of Iceland; for the betterment of the world.

Ep. 63: Lucas St. Clair – Founder of the 'Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument' -ft. co-host: Jay Vilar of Nourish ||
120 years ago Teddy Roosevelt started the US national park system to protect and preserve shared resources. We're hard pressed to believe that in our current political landscape – and with a compounding national debt – that our Federal Government would acquire any new large swaths of land for ecosystem and natural environment conservation. In fact, it been the exact opposite as more conserved land gets squeezed with every congressional cycle. Well, there's a guy in the Maine woods who's got a solution for this problem. Lucas St. Clair's has adapted an innovative approach of succession that could attract more good folks of resources to look at land preservation as their way of giving back, and for planning for a more stable future.
On episode 63 we welcome Lucas St. Clair – the founder of 'Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument' – a U.S. National Monument spanning 87,563 acres of mountains and forestland in northern Penobscot County, Maine, just off the eastern border of Maine's Baxter State Park.
We begin our conversation discussing St. Clair's extensive efforts to turn Maine Woods & Waters into a national monument. We learn of the communities in Maine's 2nd. Of the logging empires, and of their recent demise. We learn more about his run for Congress in 2018, and what drives him to serve at the will of the people. A native to the Maine woods, we hear a bit of the lineage of the iconic brand his family spawned – 'Burt's Bees'. It sounds like good values were adhered to in both the household, and the brand.
Joining as cohost is Jay Vilar, founder and a Practitioner at 'Nourish' – a bespoke consulting company with a mission to educate, teach, and train people on the benefits of using food to heal your body and optimize your health. He attributes his success to principles he learned studying health, nutrition, and business principles on increasing your energy, sharpening your mind, being a more productive human being.

As Regional Administrator of the Greater Atlantic Region for NOAA fisheries – John Bullard helped manage 44 fish stocks, including scallop and lobster, which – according to NOAA are worth $500 million each.

This dish makes me think about our trip to Sri Lanka. I love the combination of a hot curry with sweet peaches and pineapple.
This is a super simple recipe. The preparation is really quick and you can easily find all ingredients in every supermarket.
1. Start with preparing your fruits. Peel the pineapple.
2. Collect the syrup from canned peaches. I had almost 400ml (but 300-500ml is perfect too!) Add water to the syrup to have 600mL of liquid in total.
4. In a saucepan (at least a 1 litter one) melt butter with flour and curry. I added 1,5 tablespoon of medium hot curry because I like it quite hot (you can add less or more)! Stir it on a medium hot stove for about 2min while stirring all the time.
5. Slowly add the peach syrup to the butter and flour mix. Stir until smooth.
6. Add pineapple and bring to the boil (on a medium hot stove). Boil for 5min (stir it every minute to prevent from burning on the bottom).

A lot of things haven't gone right for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After knocking on heaven's door against New England in the 2016 AFC Championship nothing has gone Pittsburgh's way.
Room temperature meant needing Cleveland to beat Baltimore to make the playoffs, and the Browns blew it. Then news broke that Antonio Brown had quit on his teammates before the season finale against the Bengals. Then Antonio Brown proceeded to humiliate the team on social media, ultimately forcing the team to take fire sale value in a trade with the Raiders.
The national media has decided to pile on Pittsburgh to the point where Josh Harris (who?) gets a national platform to dump on Ben Roethlisberger. Just how far reaching is this pile on? Well Josh Harris' claim ignited two days of parallel debate on both Mexican and Argentine Steelers WhatsApp groups.
To be certain, Art Rooney II, Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin have begun taking action to right the wrongs.
The Steelers wisely decided not to slap the transition tag on Le'Veon Bell. That ended or at least signaled the end to that story. Then they gained come vindication to when Le'Veon Bell signed for less money than they'd offered him a year ago. And they'll still have James Conner at a fraction of the cost.
The Steelers have also been active in free agency.
One by one they've signed Steven Nelson, Donte Moncrief and Mark Barron. Objectively speaking, each of those moves make them stronger today and gives the flexibility in the 2019 NFL Draft. However, it is wise to be a little wary.
Art Rooney Sr. warned his sons against "Putting on the dog. " The Steelers recent history with splash free agency moves haven't gone so well. See the tenures of Mike Mitchell and Ladarius Green. The Steelers aggressiveness is satisfying this spring, but those signings must not fall short come autumn. Time will tell.
But the one unequivocal right move the Steelers made involves a player who won't take a snap this year.
And that player is Ryan Shazier. Last week the NFL announced that Ryan Shazier's 2018 contract was tolled, or rolled into 2019 because he didn't play the requisite games to qualify for a full year of service. This is an administrative decision made under the terms of the CBA.
Not that it matters to the Steelers. At the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine Kevin Colbert made clear the Steelers were going to keep Ryan Shazier on their 2019 roster regardless of whether the NFL tolled his contract or not.
Ryan Shazier says he wants to play again. The odds are against him. But that doesn't matter.
The Steelers are making sure they do what they can to take care of Ryan Shazier. They could have given him a coaching or front office job, but by keeping him on as a player, Ryan Shazier gets access to better health care, another year of pension accrual, and access to all the other benefits that an NFL player enjoy.
After enduring several months when so much seemed to go wrong for Pittsburgh, Steelers are doing right by Ryan Shazier and that is fundamentally a good thing.
Could a cycle be forming? In Pittsburgh's 2019 home opening loss, the Kansas City Chiefs used and abused the Steelers secondary revealing it as a major weakness that needed to be corrected. To be sure, Sean Davis and Terrell Edmunds stepped up their play from that awful day to begin making improvements during the season.
And now, as a first off season step towards shoring up that secondary the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed cornerback Steve Nelson from the Chiefs.
If reports are correct, Steve Nelson's contract is for 3 years and $25.5 million, although there is no information on guarantees and signing bonuses at this point. Nelson cannot "officially" sign with Steelers at until 4:00 pm today.
Given the money the Steelers are paying him, Steve Nelson will undoubtedly be slotted as the starter opposite Joe Haden. The move also ensures that the Steelers will not pick up the 5th year option on Artie Burns, although exercising that option would have been insane under any circumstances given Artie Burns track record.
The move could signal the end of Coty Sensabaugh's time in Pittsburgh.
Coty Sensabaugh, the incumbent starter, is a free agent who will not get a ton of money thrown at him, but is also not the type of player you can bring back at the veteran minimum. That in turn could be good news for Cameron Sutton and Brian Allen. Mike Hilton looks set to arrive at St. Vincents as the Steelers starting slot corner, but Burns, Sutton or Allen could conceivably mount a challenge.
Cornerback has been a sore spot for the Steelers defense since at least Super Bowl XLV if not before. Despite that, the Steelers Steve Nelson signing is the first time the franchise has made a big-name free agent signing at cornerback since bringing Dwayne Washington to Pittsburgh in 1998.
By any measure, Steve Nelson is a counts as a major free agent signing by the Steelers. In 2018, he totaled 68 tackles, defensed 15 passes and made four interceptions. That 4 interception total tops the season high-total for any Steelers player since Troy Polamalu recorded 7 interceptions in 2010.
However, those were the first interceptions of Steve Nelson's career.
That shouldn't be necessarily be considered as an ominous sign – as Nelson had 16 passed defensed in 2016 and many scouts will tell you the passes defensed is a better performance metric for judging defensive backs.
Welcome to Steelers Nation Steve Nelson.
While players cannot officially sign until 4:00 pm, a lot has already happened. Jesse James is headed to Detroit and Le'Veon Bell is flying off to the New York Jets. However, Anthony Chickillo will be returning to Pittsburgh.
Stay tuned. Steel Curtain Rising will have more in depth commentary on the moves above.

Introducing...The Boeheimeter
By Dan Lyons@Dan_Lyons76 Updated Dec 14, 2011, 10:02am EST
Share All sharing options for: Introducing...The Boeheimeter
One may assume my recent lack of posts has been due to finals week at Syracuse University. And one would be partially correct, I have been deeply engrossed in scholarly work, but not any that pertains to my current courses.
Over the last two weeks, I have been locked in a lab deep beneath Huntington Beard Crouse Hall with a team of Syracuse's brightest young engineers, sociologists, Board of Trustees members, as well as a few Newhouse people who felt like they needed to be there. After many days of rigorous work, we have finished it- an instrument that will perfect the art of judging the recent play of our favorite Syracuse basketball players.
Cue the music.
I present to you...
The Boeheimeter.
As you can see, the Boeheimeter measures player performance on a five point scale, from "you don't know your business" all the way to "champion-chipper". Because Jim always knows his business, and his business is Syracuse basketball (that is the #1 ranked Syracuse basketball team superfan Mike Lang would like me to point out), there is no better measure for Syracuse basketball-related evaluation.
Since we have just put together this incredible feat of technology, the first Boeheimeter of the year will measure player performance of the whole year to date.
PG Scoop Jardine - 8.3 PPG, .523 FG%, .286 3PT%, 4.1 APG, 2 RPG, 2 SPG, 2 TO/G, .1 BPG
Scoop got off to a rough start to the year, but most of us in the Syracuse city-state never got too worried about him. We figured that he would come through in a big spot sooner rather than later, and he proved us right with his big effort against Florida at the Dome. While he isn't putting up huge numbers, they have been on an uptick as of late, and he's been a steady presence on the floor for the Orange. His .450 free throw percentage is really bizarre, and more than a bit disconcerting.
SG Brandon Triche - 11.1 PPG, .443 FG%, .368% 3PT%, 3.1 APG, 2.2 RPG, 1 SPG, 1.7 TO/G, .3 BPG
Brandon's been doing some very nice things this year. He's using his physical frame to take smaller guards into the paint, which is something many Orange fans have been hoping for since he was a freshman. He's shooting fairly well, although as one of the team's more relied on shooters, you want his 3-point percentage to be a bit higher than 37%. He's played well on and off the ball. The biggest thing for Triche, as it has been throughout his whole career, is consistent play. Some nights he drops 20, but there are far too many where he is nowhere to be found.
SF Kris Joseph - 13.7 PPG, .436 FG%, .381 3PT%, 1.3 APG, 6.1 RPG, 1.4 SPG, 1.2 TO/G, .3 BPG
Kris has been playing very well all season. He's scoring from all over the court, rebounding fairly well, and looks to be one of the go-to-guys we all know he can be. He obviously has some things to work on, especially when he gets the ball in half-court situations. When he pounds the ball into the ground and tries to get fancy with his between the legs and behind the back dribbles, he becomes a turnover machine. However, there aren't many other complaints to be had with how Kris has been playing; his numbers are very good, especially considering the fact that he's been playing under 30 minutes per game thus far.
PF Rakeem Christmas - 3.6 PPG, .652 FG%, .1 APG, 3.1 RPG, .4 SPG, 1.1 TO/G, .5 BPG
Following last year's Fab Melo debacle, most Orange fans had their expectations for freshman big man Rakeem Christmas appropriately tempered, despite him being named starter out of camp and holding that spot for ten games now. Christmas isn't giving us too much right now, and has only played 13.7 minutes per game thus far, but there have been bright spots. He looks to have a few moves around the basket, he can move the ball from the post well, and he has a knack for blocking shots, although he does pick up fouls quite often when trying to do so. Rak is a really raw player, as everyone said he would be coming out of high school, and won't be a major factor this year, but he is ahead of where Fab was last year, so he has that going for him I guess...
C Fab Melo - 6.7 PPG, .518 FG%, .6 APG, 5.1 RPG, .6 SPG, 1.4 TO/G, 2.6 BPG
It really is hard to admit that we are watching the same Fab Melo who played for Syracuse last year. The biggest thing for Fab this year is that he can stay on the floor- he's playing over 22 minutes a game and rarely looks like he's struggling to do it, and instead of committing stupid fouls, he's flopping like a Blue Devil. He still struggles to finish around the hoop, and his rebounding definitely leaves something to be desired, but you can't help but smile watching Fab play this year. Also, the dude can flat out block shots.
G Dion Waiters, 11.9 PPG, .500 FG%, .28 3PT%, 3.1 APG, 1.8 RPG, 2.4 SPG, 1.5 TO/G, .3 BPG
Talking about sophomores who are having breakout seasons, the argument could be made that Dion Waiters has been our best player. He's scoring at will, often creating the opportunity off of his own steal. He's been pretty smart with the ball, with a better than 2-1 Assist-Turnover ratio. As Boeheim noted in his last presser, his defense has been tremendous in both the zone and the man-to-man. His whole demeanor on the court is just better. The only thing that his game is lacking is a consistent jump-shot, but he seems to make more than he has any right to.
F C.J. Fair - 7.4 PPG, .452 FG%, .444 3PT%, .9 APG, 5.7 RPG, 1.2 SPG, 1.1 TO/G, .2 BPG
C.J. continues to be among the smartest players on the team; he always seems to be in the right place at the right time. He plays great defense, rebounds really well, and doesn't force the issue on offense. His improved 3-point shot has the potential to be a huge weapon. My biggest concern is that he seems to really struggle against zone defenses, and I can see teams zoning us down the road because we don't have a great, consistent 3-point threat.
F James Southerland - 8.6 PPG, .552 FG%, .414 3PT%, .6 APG, 3.0 RPG, 1.4 SPG, .4 TO/G, 1 BPG
Some will question why I'm The Boeheimeter is giving James a higher grade than C.J. Well, The Boeheimeter grades on a scale. Last season, James looked absolutely lost in games where his shot wasn't falling, and even when it was, he wasn't contributing much else. This year, he's been a much better all-around player. His shooting is still feast or famine, but the rest of his game is coming along. He's still not a great rebounder, but he's shown improvement from last year. What has been most impressive is his ability to block shots, and to play the passing lanes.
C Baye Keita - 3.5 PPG, .765 FG%, .1 APG, 3.0 RPG, .2 SPG, .3 TO/G, .9 BPG
Keita has been pretty disappointing this year, all things considered. I have to think his hand is still bothering him, because he's really struggling to catch the ball, whether it is on passes to the post, or on rebounds. Last year, he was a rebound machine. He's really struggling this year. It's definitely a concern, because we need both Baye and Fab to play well in the Big East, or teams with legitimate big men will eat us up.
G Michael Carter-Williams - 2.7 PPG, .281 FG%, .250 3PT%, 2.8 APG, 2.1 RPG, 1 SPG, .8 TO/G, .6 BPG
MCW hasn't shot the ball well, but he's really doing everything else quite effectively, and right now scoring is not his role. He might be the best passer on the team already, he rebounds really well for his size and is not afraid to go in the paint, and he plays great defense. I have a feeling that if this was just an assessment on the last week of play, MCW's grade would be higher. I'm very excited to see him develop this year.


I remember what it was like to stand in endless airport security lines. To remove my shoes, jacket, and laptop; to collect all my liquids and place them into a tiny bag.
But, even though I still fly all the time, I haven't done that in years. I'm not rich, and I'm not royalty: I have TSA PreCheck, a magical program from the Transportation Security Administration that allows me to breeze through security like Beyonce. Because I have Global Entry, too, I don't wait in immigration lines either.
Intrigued? You should be. Keep reading to discover the difference between Global Entry and TSA PreCheck — and how you can become a member of these elite clubs for free.
TSA PreCheck is one of several "Trusted Traveler" programs from the U.S. government. It's open to most U.S. citizens, nationals, and lawful permanent residents.
With TSA PreCheck, you'll have access to an expedited security lane at more than 200 airports when flying with 56 participating airlines. You won't need to remove light jackets, belts, or shoes, and can also leave liquids and laptops in your carry-on.
TSA PreCheck application: Submit an online form, then visit an enrollment center for an interview, fingerprinting, and background check.
When traveling with a parent or guardian who has PreCheck, children under 12 can travel in the expedited lane (without applying for the program). Members of the military do not need to apply for TSA PreCheck; as long as they include their DoD number when booking, they will have access to the expedited line. While eligible Department of Defense federal civilians don't need to apply either, they must opt in here.
Global Entry is a supercharged version of TSA PreCheck. Not only will you get PreCheck at domestic airports, but you'll also be able to bypass immigration lines when re-entering the country.
Instead of standing in that snaking line to see a border agent, you'll go to a Global Entry kiosk, where you'll quickly scan your passport and fingerprints before heading to customs.
Global Entry application: Submit an online form, then visit a special enrollment center for an interview, fingerprinting, and background check.
To make it crystal clear, the answer to "does Global Entry include TSA PreCheck?" is a resounding yes.
If your Global Entry application is approved, you'll automatically get TSA PreCheck, too. You'll need to include your Known Traveler Number (KTN) when booking flights to qualify for the expedited screening.
Now that you're convinced they're the bee's knees, you're wondering: Global Entry vs. TSA PreCheck? Which one should I get?
For most people, Global Entry is the smarter choice. It includes TSA PreCheck — plus the ability to skip lines at immigration. For only $15 more, that's well worth it (and if you read the rest of this post, you won't be paying that fee anyway).
My first time using my Global Entry card: a fantastic day.
In my mind, the only reason you might opt for TSA PreCheck is if you don't think you'll qualify for Global Entry. Since you'll have to pay the application fee regardless of whether you're approved, you should read the guidelines carefully.
The requirements for Global Entry are pretty strict: You may be disqualified if you "have been convicted of any criminal offense or have pending criminal charges or outstanding warrants," including for driving under the influence.
For TSA PreCheck, certain crimes, like espionage, will bar you forever — and some felonies will bar you for seven years — but requirements are generally more lax.
PreCheck might also be preferable if you live far from the nearest Global Entry enrollment center or never plan to travel abroad. In that case, it might make sense to simply visit your local PreCheck enrollment center instead.
The easiest way to get TSA PreCheck free is with a travel rewards credit card that reimburses your TSA PreCheck or Global Entry application fee.
You'll need to pay the application fee upfront using your eligible credit card; then, once the fee appears on your bill, the issuer will automatically give you a statement credit to match it, usually within two billing periods. $100 for Global Entry, or $85 for TSA PreCheck.
Note that, with most credit cards, this offer is only available every four or five years.
Another way to get TSA PreCheck for free (or Global Entry, in some cases) is by being an elite member with certain loyalty programs, or by redeeming points or miles.
Delta Airlines: Platinum or Medallion members can get a Global Entry voucher as one of their Choice Benefits.
Orbitz Rewards: Platinum members can opt for a free TSA PreCheck or LoungeBuddy membership.
United MileagePlus: Redeem 10,000 miles for TSA PreCheck (at 0.85 cents per mile).
IHG Rewards: Redeem 30,000 points for TSA PreCheck (at 0.28 cents per point).
Radisson Rewards: Redeem 65,000 points for TSA PreCheck (at 0.13 cents per point).
If you have elite status and can get free PreCheck, great — but when it comes to reward points and miles, you'll likely find better value by redeeming them for flights or hotel stays. So we don't recommend using credit card rewards to pay for the application.
More than 17 credit cards offer a statement credit for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. If you don't already have a credit card with this benefit, you might consider applying for one before paying your application fee.
Due to its high rewards, Priority Pass lounge access, and generous travel credit, this is already my favorite travel rewards card. The fact you can get a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit every four years is just icing on the cake.
Even though its annual fee is intimidating, the $300 travel credit essentially reduces the net annual fee to $150.
Read more in our Review of the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card.
Like the Reserve, the Amex Platinum is another amazing premium travel rewards card, offering a Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit every four years. Its biggest perk is its generous lounge access, which means free food and booze, fewer people, and lots of power outlets. It also comes with airline fee and Uber credits, hotel elite status, and free Boingo WiFi.
Read more in our Review of The Platinum Card® from American Express: Is It Worth the $550 Annual Fee?
Trying to decide which premium travel card to get? Here's our head-to-head breakdown of the Amex Platinum vs. Chase Sapphire Reserve.
Just looking to get Global Entry or TSA PreCheck for free? Then this card's for you. Unlike the others on this list, it has no annual fee — ever. So, even though it doesn't have a lot of perks, it's a smart choice for that reason alone. Its Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit is available every five years.
Although this card doesn't have a slew of fancy perks, it does earn solid rewards at a low annual fee (which is even waived the first year). If you book a lot of hotels, you'll also earn crazy rewards at Hotels.com until early 2020. This card's Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit comes around every four years.

If you're looking for other cards with low annual fees that offer these credits, check out the Bank of America® Premium Rewards® Credit Card (Review). For just $95 you get the application fee credits, along with a $100 incidental airline fee credit.
With this United card, you'll get a free checked bag, priority boarding, and two free United Club passes annually. The annual fee is waived for the first year, and your Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit is available every four years.
Read more in our Review of the United Explorer Card.
Twice per year, this card offers your fourth night free on stays booked through ThankYou.com or your Citi Concierge. Although the annual fee is high, you'll get a $250 travel credit, as well as Priority Pass lounge access and a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit every five years.
Read more in our Review of the Citi Prestige® Card.
Looking for other hotel cards offering credits for expedited airport service? For a lower annual fee of $89 — which includes one free night per year, and your fourth night free on reward stays — the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card is a fantastic choice. Alternatively, the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card (Review) is a high-end option for SPG/Marriott loyalists.
Should You Get TSA PreCheck or Global Entry?
Though the answer probably depends on how much you fly (and where), I can tell you I applied for Global Entry in 2014 and have never looked back. It saves me so much time and frustration at the airport that I'd call it one of the best travel purchases I've ever made.
So, while I would happily pay $100 for the convenience — why would I? Getting Global Entry or TSA PreCheck for free is a cinch with any of the travel credit cards above.

True Holiness Christian University offering Bachelor's, Master's, and DD's in Systematic Theology!
Some folks, saved sanctified even Holy Ghost filled folks believe that everybody will be saved.
I haven't found evidence of this from Genesis to Revelation but maybe I overlooked it and need some more time to study closer.
Rom 12:1- tells us some vital and infallible truths as it relates to a person that says they are Christian or a child of God, who just happens to be our lord and savior Jesus Christ . At least that is what I teach and preach according to the bible. I don't get into debates to try to convince anyone of anything that aren't open to receive according to the word of God and not what they believe or what any other book says.
The apostle Paul starts out by pleading with us to present our bodies a living sacrifice. In the OT sacrifices were done by the killing of a pure clean animal to God to show appreciation for what he has done.
A living sacrifice simply means that you die out to your old self, sinful, lustful, carnal, worldly fleshly self and commit your life to serving God by living the life he has defined for us by way of the bible, our living instruction manual for living a victorious spirit filled life.
Next is what catches most people as they choose to glance over it or choose to not add any importance to it. He said holy acceptable. A technique I learned from Dr Fred Price was to flip the scriptures to give it more understanding and significance. Using this technique, if it's not holy then it's not acceptable unto God and any service that comes with it is in vain.
Research for yourself the word holy and you will find it used almost 600 times throughout the scriptures. You can decide if a word used that many times bears any importance to God or not.
He concluded that thought by saying that this is the least you could do for God considering all that he has done for us.
Now, verse 2 is the key. The main reason our nation, cities communities and neighborhoods and churches are in the conditions they are in.
While it seems hard to believe lets just dive in and see what we come up with.
11 But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler—you must not so much as [a]eat with such a person. 12 For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]? 13 God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside [the faith]. Remove the wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].
14 Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial (Satan)? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said: "I will dwell among them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 17 "So come out from among unbelievers and be separate," says the Lord, "And do not touch what is unclean; And I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor], 18 And I will be a Father to you, And you will be My sons and daughters," Says the Lord Almighty.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments [that encourage you to sin], for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience [those who habitually sin]. 7 So do not participate or even associate with them [in the rebelliousness of sin]. 8 For once you were darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [live as those who are native-born to the Light] 9 (for the fruit [the effect, the result] of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), 10 trying to learn [by experience] what is pleasing to the Lord [and letting your lifestyles be examples of what is most acceptable to Him—your behavior expressing gratitude to God for your salvation]. 11 Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character]; 12 for it is disgraceful even to mention the things that such people practice in secret. 13 But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light [of God's precepts], for [a]it is light that makes everything visible.
Be not conformed to this world but be transformed or changed in your thoughts ideas and suggestions, our walk, talk, dress, attire, everything about you must be the total opposite of who you once were.
How then can one think that partnering with the carnal world is the solution to all the societal problems we are having. Quite the contrary, it's the exact reason we are having these problems.
We got a man running to be the most powerful single individual in the world and has been openly racist comments since the republican race began. Now he has chosen to be condescending towards us and tell us us don't know what's best for us and us need to vote for him cause he noe cares for us.
We have some like that in this city, more specific, in South St. Pete, but that's for another time.
The world can't solve our problems nether does it want to, billions are at stake. Only Jesus has the answer and we must understand that unless we get that and close ranks, just like in those and many more scriptures, we are doomed to perpetuate this mess.
Go back and read these scriptures and even the chapter when time permits to get a much fuller understanding or you can always write me.
All my info is at the bottom of every article and has been going on 3 years now.
Before I go I want to give you a few warm up scriptures that will help to bring this key one to light.
