Devin Chooses Cowboy On Season One Finale Of CMT’s Sweet Home Alabama

This post has the most up-to-date information on the status of the next season of Sweet Home Alabama as we continuously monitor the news to keep you updated.

Southern belle Devin tries to find love among 10 Southern gentlemen and 10 city slickers in the reality series “Sweet Home Alabama” on CMT.
Some of you may remember that this summer I sung the praises of my favorite new reality dating show , Sweet Home Alabama. The show followed Southern belle Devin as she went through a low-key, Southern-ized version of The Bachelorette , choosing among groups of country guys and city guys. Devin eventually narrowed the field down to two country boys — rural horse whisperer Adam, and city-country former football star Tribble.
Tribble seemed to have it all — the charm, the looks, the past glory days. But Devin went with the quieter guy, Adam. Well now Tribble is back, as the Southern gentleman who gets to choose from eleven country girls and eleven city girls. Based on the first episode, I have high hopes for this season. Hopefully Tribble has a good enough head on his shoulders to choose one of the nice, grounded girls. I think Cassie could go far this season.
Skip to Content. The emphasis is on finding lasting love, but the format hardly gives the bachelorette enough time to really know her suitors. The show also furthers some negative stereotypes about Southerners and “city boys” alike. In addition, there’s gender stereotyping when it comes to the idea of what a “Southern belle” and “Southern gentleman” should be — particularly that, for belles, “finding a man and getting married is the dream” and that “it’s not very ladylike to ask a boy out on a date.

Finding true love is big business in Hollywood. The country guys, I was more familiar with those types of people. I definitely felt more comfortable in those situations. Yet what sets this Alabama-based show apart from the many, many other playing cupid-related reality shows is, according to Grissom, the deeper level of substance. It really has a lot more to it than that. And although the University of Alabama junior is naturally more at ease around down home boys who drive a pick-up and hunt on the weekends, she is confident that a romance with a sophisticated urban dweller is definitely do-able.
There are no real absolute differences between the North and the South, the city and the country. I was more intrigued just to see the differences and curious to see it. So it was interesting to see how the relationships developed and went along. I knew that they would all be sweet gentlemen. But in the end, will Grissom stick to her southern roots or be swept off her feet by a citified beau?
Tribble: Take Two
I’ve known people who will tell you, and not because you asked, that they do not like and do not care about country music. Too bad for them, and not just because Brad Paisley’s latest album, the helpfully titled This Is Country Music , is the shit! These people are also unaware that Country Music Television, the Red States’ answer to MTV, has produced some real hairy-eyeball television, especially since it became the property of Viacom’s MTV Networks in and started chasing the reality-show audience.
I can’t say that I’ve ever seen any series on CMT that I would characterize as “good”, but there have been some amazing contributions to that special category of television that you might stumble across while sitting at home lonely and half-drunk late at night or on a weekend morning, shows to which the only proper response is, as Bob Dylan once put it, to sit there and stare. Where else where you going to see people celebrate their nuptials by presiding over a mud-wrestling tournament in a show called My Big Redneck Wedding?
Or Kinky Friedman’s presidential aspirations given the documentary series treatment, in a show that I’m not sure made it past its first episode, before the network sobered up and realized who it was in bed with.
Just go watch the show and come back later. over the weekend, and I have to say I was pretty delighted by this series overall. Devin is too young, and one of the things Sweet Home Alabama had going for it was that the.

It seems like so long ago that I was on my way down to Mobile to start the filming of Sweet Home Alabama , but the time has finally come! We are now officially less than 48 hours away from the debut of what will be one of the most talked about reality shows this summer. I have been telling people that the show is like if The Bachelorette met Jersey Shore.
Definitely a recipe for some serious drama between the guys, which will make for some entertaining TV for the viewers. I am excited about the show and wanted to make my site active since it has been sitting on the cutting room floor since my last year in college at Clemson University a couple of years ago. I want people who have questions about me, the show Sweet Home Alabama , how gorgeous Devin is, or anything else to have the ability to get in touch with me.
I want you to see the real Tribble Reese. Stay tuned because the site will be constantly improving as the weeks go on. I know you were born in the south but your sandy blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, rigid jaw line and playboy acumen make me wonder if you are of Swedish descent? Talented in many things, an all-around great guy everyone likes to know. I wish you success!

In the end she said I was a great guy, but … it was a complete shock. His mother, Diane, a former Spanish teacher at Mountain Brook Junior High, said Tribble was skeptical it might be like some of the other reality shows out there.
It really has been just a great experience. After dodging phone calls from the show for several days, Tribble decided to join the 20 contestants for season one. I will say I met Devin and these girls, and I enjoyed them all immensely. They are all lovely girls. The taping of each season took about one month.

'RESULTS COLLATION, BANE OF NIGERIAN POLLS'
COLLATION of elections results has been described as the bane of the Nigerian election process.
This is the observation of the National Chairman of the Citizens Popular Party (CPP) Chief Maxi Okwu and a group of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) under the aegis of the Civil Society Election Situation Room.
According to him in an interview with reporters in Enugu, the problem of the electoral commission lies in the collation centre as many who lost at the polling units win at the collation centre.
Okwu suggested that the electoral laws should be amended to allow media and online bloggers to publish elections results from each polling units as they are announced in order to check electoral malpractices at the collation centres.
He said Nigerians are grateful that once again they have opportunity to vote and decide who govern them rather than what was obtained in the past where election results were compiled at local council headquarters and personal residences before the commencement of voting.
On why his party did not field a presidential candidate at the just concluded election, Okwu stated that it followed a decision to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan.
A statement by the NGOs (Elections Situation Room), signed by Dr. Jibrin Ibrahim, Executive Director, Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) and Clement Nwankwo, Executive Director, Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), said: ' Civil Society Election Situation Room feels compelled to raise a number of issues that could affect the credibility of the elections on 26 April. As we pointed out in our final statement on the Presidential election - and which indeed we raised after the National Assembly elections on 9 April -the problems associated with collation are now in danger of derailing the process altogether. The post-election violence associated with the presidential election was fuelled by the perception among many of the contenders that the election was won and lost at the point of collation and the further perception that the leadership of INEC was unable or unwilling to exercise proper oversight function over its personnel in the field. INEC needs to take firm and aggressive action to deal with these perceptions.
'In the aftermath of the post-election violence following the presidential election, we are aware that it has become necessary to authorise an enhanced deployment of security agencies. We are calling on the political authorities responsible for these deployments to ensure that they do so in a professional and non-partisan manner, and that the applicable rules of engagement are not disproportionate to the objective of ensuring free, fair and credible elections. Additionally, the security agencies have an obligation to operate in a manner that is compatible with their political neutrality. The Civil Society Election Situation Room will itself be independently monitoring the operations of the security forces during the gubernatorial elections and we encourage any person or groups with any reports to bring them to the attention of the Situation Room.
'The Election Situation Room also warns that it may become necessary to pursue a cause of action against persons responsible for instigating and perpetrating post election violence in Nigeria at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Situation Room joins the generality of Nigerians in calling on the country's security officers to ensure the safety of election administrators, monitors and observers and in particular, the safety of Youth Corps members who are involved in election administration.
'Finally, in several states, we note the presence of multiple and contradictory court judgments concerning the eligibility of different candidates to represent the same party in respect of the same office. This makes it incumbent on INEC to come out with a clear position on which candidate is legally recognised to stand for the affected parties on the day of the ballot. The Civil Society Election Situation Room is perturbed by INEC's confusing and unsatisfactory attitude to this issue. We call on INEC to redress this urgently and transparently before voting starts.'
The 2011 Election Situation Room members are Action Aid Nigeria, Alliance for Credible Election (ACE), Centre for Democracy and Development, Centre for Democratic Development Research and Training, African Centre for Leadership Strategy and Development (Centre LSD), CLEEN Foundation, Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), Community Emergency Response Initiative (CERI), Community Life Project (CLP), Empowering Women for Excellence Initiative (EWEI) and Enough is Enough.
The others are Forward Africa, Human Development and Care Centre, Institute for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law JDPC/Caritas Nigeria, Next Generation Youth Initiative, Niger Delta Budget Monitoring Group, Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA), Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), Transition Monitoring Group (TMG), Women Environment Programme and Women's Right to Education Program (WREP).

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Despite the rain on Saturday, hundreds of bicyclists took over downtown Indianapolis for the Indy Crit Cycling Race and Festival.
Crit aims to to raise awareness and increase interest in cycling.
Amateurs and pros had a chance to race, but the most popular race was the race with the mayor. Dozens of local celebrities and business leaders, including 24-Hour News 8’s oown Lauren Lowery and Julie Patterson, raced against Mayor Greg Ballard.
Trip, the Butler Bulldog, also made it out to the event.
Mayor Ballard says in the past five years, Indy has become one of the biggest bicycling cities in the nation and he expects the sport to continue to grow.
“It’s about getting people out, exercising, getting people outside. They needed the infrastructure, they needed some programming and all that is happening now, so we’ve got a lot more people riding today,” Ballard said.
Lauren Lowery was the first media member, and the first woman, to cross the finish line on Saturday.

The Cottage Apartment was a perfect base to explore the lake district. The cottage had everything everything we needed and was very homely, with a well equipped kitchen and a nice little area outside for a glass of wine on an evening. We enjoyed watching the deer in the garden. We would stay here again and would recommend it 10/10. There are some steps up to the apartment and also from kitchen to living room to bear in mind if you have mobility issues.

The vehicle was described as red or burgundy on color, possibly a General Motors truck or SUV. The vehicle should have damage to the front end and possibly to the hood and windshield. Anyone with information should contact the St. Petersburg Police Department non-emergency line at (727) 893-7780.

As RIA Novosti was told in the Maritime Hydrometeorological Centre on Tuesday, a vast cyclonic whirlwind is now quickly moving from Mongolia toward the Amur Region of the Russian Federation. Conditions for formation of dust storms have emerged in the southern part of the cyclone.
On Monday dust storms were observed over Mongolia and the north-eastern provinces of China. High temperature and a strong wind are noted in those regions.
Within the next 48 hours the cyclone will move to the east and north-east. The Maritime Territory and the Amur Region may be influenced by air mass with high content of dust and sand, which will cause deterioration of visibility and pollution of the air.
In March and April 2002 the inhabitants of the Maritime Territory observed a phenomenon when the air was grey and the sun was blue. The haze which covered the Maritime Territory was a result of the dust storms which were raging on the territory of Mongolia and China.
The Maritime Territory's largest dust storm occurred on the Prikhankaiskaya plain in 1956. For several days in the middle of April strong winds raised clouds of dust into the air in the western regions of the Territory.
The Russian forces have blocked almost all the ways that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were using. The Ukrainian military have only one route at its disposal

Is Farrakhan insane? or does he see the world for what it really is?
Ten years ago I would have called this statement by Farrakhan the ravings of a mad man. But today I look at our politicians in a different light. The bubble for me has burst. No longer do I look at our leaders as the descendants of the Founding Fathers. Today when these political hacks open their mouths they look a lot more like the Senators of ancient Rome scrambling for ultimate power while back-stabbing the people, their friends and the Republic.
Libya not only had no plans to attack the United States, but they had cut a peace deal with President George Bush in 2005.
But Caesar Obama acting on his own authority attacked the peaceful nation of Libya. He claimed to be operating on the authority of the United Nations.
Obama is using the American military to kill people in another nation without the Constitutionally required approval of Congress. Is he an assassin? I will throw in with Farrakhan on this one.
A YouTube video of Minister Louis Farrakhan taking President Obama to task over the war in Afghanistan and the bombing of Libya is making its way around the web. In the video, Farrakhan admonishes the president for turning into someone else. Farrakhan says, "We voted for our brother Barack, a beautiful human being with a sweet heart and now he's an assassin. They turned him into them."
He also raises the issue of killing Saddam Hussein over weapons of mass destruction and knowingly sending young men to fight a war based on lies. "You talk about a man killing his own people. When you lie to the American people saying that Sadam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. When you lie and then take innocent young men who come to serve their country, and send them to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, over lies, that's a murderer in the White House."

How to Add Window Film and Increase Energy Efficiency
Learning how to add window film is something all homeowners should consider doing, as film can stop thermal transfer from glass. Window film works effectively all year-round to improve energy efficiency, without having to commit to the financial investment new thermal windows require.
Energy Star and thermal-rated windows have a clear, low emissivity coating that blocks heat from moving through the glass. Single-pane and some dual-pane windows that don’t have a low-e coating have virtually no resistance to energy transfer.
During the winter, heat from the glass exits quickly, while during the summer, the glass contributes to substantial heat gain indoors. Almost all low-e window films prevent UV light from filtering in your home, which can help stop sun damage.
Window films come in a variety of tints that reflect light outwards, making it nearly impossible to see through the film during the day. They’re not only a cost-efficient material to use for improving energy efficiency, but they also assure daytime privacy.
After measuring your windows and the available film sizes, estimate how many rolls you’ll need. Add enough to cover any waste you may incur as you learn to handle the film. In most cases, you’ll need a liquid solution for wetting the window, as well as a plastic scraper, like a squeegee, to smooth the film on the glass.
Unless your windows are small, it’s almost always a two-person job. While one person places the film on the window, the other can straighten wrinkles and remove any air bubbles that appear. Once the film is smooth, cut it at the edge of the glass, so the film sits as close to the sash as possible.
To learn more about how to add window film and achieve better energy efficiency, contact Rinaldi’s Air Conditioning Service. We’ve been providing outstanding HVAC services for Orlando area homeowners since 1969.
Our goal is to help educate our customers in Orlando, Florida and surrounding areas about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems). For more information about window film and other HVAC topics, download our free Home Comfort Resource guide.

A Reason.tv video featuring Matt Ridley:
The video clocks in at just short of 20 minutes, which might be a little bit too long for some of you, but it’s worth the watch if you’re interested. Matt Ridley presents evidence collected from satellites that demonstrate that, as a whole, the earth is physically getting greener. The “greening” of the planet is due in part to increased rainfall from a slightly warmer climate, and in part due to fossil fuels, as the burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the air. Increasing carbon dioxide concentrations have helped plant growth, as plants need carbon dioxide to grow.
As Matt Ridley notes, this certainly isn’t welcoming news for many in the environmental movement.

How will it happen & what does it mean for the Toronto Maple Leafs?
In a memo released in September of this year, the Chief Operating Officer of the NHL notified all league employees of initiatives and staff changes to take effect during the 2013-2014 season. In the memo the league identified a plan to increase annual gross national revenue by $1 billion dollars by the end of three years, or in other words, in time for the 2016-2017 season. To put that type of increase in perspective, it had previously taken the league from 2005-06 to 2011-12 – or 6 years – to attain the same revenue growth. Forget linear growth, we’re talking exponential revenue growth here, folks.
AfterÂ months of political manoeuvring and speculation… and pending ratification, Donald Fehr appears primed to formally take office as the Executive Director of the NHLPA with the Ilya Kovalchuk saga providing an appropriate backdrop. Despite having earlier dismissed himself as a candidate for the role, the former MLBPA hardliner is now expected to spearhead the players union through the next series of collective bargaining negotiations in 2012.
Either a spectre to be feared, or a challenge to be relished for NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, one wonders if the league office wishes it had treated the ailing NHLPA with kid gloves following the late, late night coup that saw former figurehead Paul Kelly overthrown in August 2009.
*Warning:Â More analysis and opinionÂ concerning the Kovalchuk decision. For those who want to talk hockey, as opposed to the now perpetual indiscretions of the league office etc. Alex has a post beneath.
When Richard Bloch decided to rule in the favour of the NHL in the case of Ilya Kovalchuk and the ridiculous contract, he set in place a new precedent that the league hope will stem the flow of cap-circumventing front loaded contracts. In lieu of a concrete definition, the cover-all bases nature of Blochâ€™s ruling was expected to draw a line under the types of long, frontloaded contracts the NHL saw as detrimental to the spirit of equality the CBA and its salary cap was supposed to theoretically harbour.
Now that the NHL has won the arbitration award based on “salary cap circumvention” with the Kovalchuk situation, they are ready to tackle the rest of the league. A year (and perhaps in a few occasions more than a year) ago, specific contracts were approved by the league and now the league has decided to reevaluate those contracts to determine if they too circumvent the salary cap.
Â As the systemic dismantling of this summerâ€™s Stanley Cup champions continues in earnest, league watchers are crying foul. Where detractors of the current, hard revenue based cap once denounced the communistic, unilateral sharing of league revenue as the prime illustration of illogic in the CBA (alongside the long-long term contract loopholes), Mondayâ€™s exit of Antti Niemi from the Chicago Blackhawks has helped turn the club into the latest martyrâ€™s of the cap.
- If the TSN reports that Frolov could sign a 1 year deal comparable to that of Afinogenov last season ($800,000) are true, then why weren’t the Maple Leafs heavily involved in discussions with Frolov’s agent? He’s a big guy who can win some pucks, plays a well-rounded game and would fit perfectly in the top line left wing role at a bargain basement price. Remember a few weeks ago when I talked about a deteriorating market? This potential signing may just be the beginning.
- The Toronto Sun reports that the Maple Leafs’ Rookie tournament will take place at the John Labatt Centre in London from September 11th-14th this year.
- The Hockey News makes the case for the Maple Leafs as a surprise playoff team this coming season.
- On to the FanPosts. Andrew Edwards (AKA Crazyaces) proposes a solution for these ridiculous long-term contracts, while Michael Cuttell continues his preseason synopsis by evaluating the Leafs’ current forward group.
Ilya Kovalchukâ€™s record breaking 17 year, $102 Million deal has been shot down by the NHL for reasons of cap circumvention (per TSN).Â To brass tacks the article, the NHL put the kybosh on Lou and his Swamp Band on the grounds that the deal was being proposed and executed outside of good faith.
In case you haven’t already heard, the Maple Leafs have broken off negotiations with prospect Bill Sweatt, acquired in the Versteeg trade from the Blackhawks. In a statement to the Toronto Sun, Burke explained that the club would rather keep a spot on the 50 contract limit open than continue discussions with Sweatt. As the talks continued to stall, the Leafs likely turned and upped their offer to Marcel Mueller, whose ELC contract value sits at $1.12 million. Sweatt is likely looking for a figure close to Blake Wheeler’s $2.825 cap hit as a 4-year college free agent, which is a steep price to pay for a player with speed but limited offensive upside.
When Brian Burke added Mike Komisarek and Francois Beauchemin to an established Leafs cast of Luke Schenn, Tomas Kaberle, Ian White and Jeff Finger it looked to all that the Toronto GM had built himself an enviable problem. A premium blueline, arguably one of the finest in the Eastern Conference, that also came with a premium price tag.
Of course, what began an enviable problem on paper quickly devolved into an actual problem when the new additions failed to mesh into a cohesive unit with defensive and special team frailties more apparent than those of an comparatively budget offense.
Even with news breaking this afternoon of Ilya Kovalchuk’s new $60 million contract extension (potentially) with the New Jersey Devils, this 2010 free agency period has been one of the most uneventful and slow-developing offseasons in recent memory. The reason being? Despite a mediocre at best free agent group, there simply isn’t enough money to pay these guys what they’re probably worth. As one unnamed NHL General Manager put it last week: “The teams with cap don’t have cash and the teams with cash don’t have cap”. The Maple Leafs however, are fortunate enough to have both, and have the opportunity to exploit the market to their advantage.
Bad news. According to the fine folks over at CapGeek, the Chicago Blackhawks aren’t the only team facing cap penalties next season. Here are the basics: a team is allowed to surpass the official salary cap by a “bonus cushion” maxmium of 7.5% for performance bonuses, such as those written into virtually every rookie contract. However, this number is then deducted from your maximum salary cap allowance for the following season.
For example, since winning the Cup, the Blackhawks received plenty of media attention when it was pointed out that Toews’ bonus for the Conn Smythe, among others, would push them well over the cap limit. As a result, the Blackhawks will face a $4.157 million penalty for this upcoming season. The Maple Leafs meanwhile will also have $1.4 million deducted from their limit this coming season, thus setting an internal budget at $58 million rather than the league wide $59.4 million.
Brian Burke is a pretty smart guy. Months ago, he explained to the fans and media that while the current free agent market is weak, it could get stronger as cap strapped teams are unable to submit qualifying offers to some prominent restricted free agents. One such player could be Andrew Ladd, and there could be several other names in play as well. Follow me as a I crunch some numbers to figure out why.
In the wake of Sunday’s blockbuster trades, one cannot help but wonder what’s next for the Toronto Maple Leafs? Who’s next to go? Who stays?
In any case, I think that it’s pretty safe to say that this season is a write-off. We’re not making any moves to make a run at the playoffs this season. So, let’s look forward and take a look at what the Maple Leafs should look like next season.
Being a General Manager of an NHL Hockey team is quite similar to sitting down at a high rollers table at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and having a marathon session of no-limit hold’em poker versus some of the biggest and meanest sharks in the ocean.
With a Leafs team stuck in the bottom 5 of the league from the first day of the season, and after public proclamations of being aggressive at the draft and public and vocal assurances that he has built one of the better defensive units in the East.Â Additional proclamations that it would be reasonable to expect the Leafs to compete for the playoffs this year, spending right up to the salary cap, trading away the clubs next 2 1st round picks and trading away some of the organizations mostly highly thought of prospects for practically zero return, it is safe to say at this point, that if being an NHL General Manager were a game of poker, Mr Burke is “All In” and has absolutely zero chance of winning this round.Â He has been effectively cleaned out.
There is a silver lining however, as Mr Burke is flush, sitting on a recently signed multi-year, multi-million dollar deal and has an opportunity to buy back into the game and try again.
A dreadful 3-11-5 start for the Maple Leafs has everyone asking the same two questions. What the heck happened? And what the heck is the solution?
Years ago, we were all stunned when Islander GM Garth Snow handed goaltender Rick DiPietro an astounding 15 year contract back in 2005. Fast forward to present day, and this recent fad of handing out double digit term into a player’s forties is very quickly starting to get out of hand. Detroit GM Ken Holland gives out 12 and 11 year contracts to Zetterberg and Franzen respectively, Chicago joins the party with a 12 year contract for Hossa (which is now being investigated by the league), and Philly decides it would like to ink Pronger through age 42. Last but not least, news broke earlier today of a shiny new 12 year extension for 30 year old goaltender Roberto Luongo. Well enough is enough.
This article is cross-posted from my site: www.checkingfrombehind.com. I thought I’d share it with you to explain the circumstances on why the NHL feels it is not a “legal” contract.
Almost a month after the alleged “errors” in their qualifyings of RFA players, the Chicago Blackhawks are faced with another possible problem, only this time they won’t be losing players, they’ll be losing draft picks and up to a $5M fine by the NHL. It seems their contract for UFC Marian Hossa, a significantly front-loaded 12 year deal worth $62.8M, is not in compliance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). How is that you ask?
Official Deal: Kubina + Tim Stapleton for Garnet Exelby + Colin Stuart.
Turns out it’s Garnet Exelby + a few other parts coming back. Looks to be a salary cap clearance more than anything for something bigger… Burke’s expected to make a major push for Komisarek now as reported here earlier.
Exelby’s a tough customer and a Canadian boy. The theme continues….
The Leafs gain $2 million in cap space in the exchange.
Maple Leafs’ GM Brian Burke, per the Toronto Star:
“We intend to be pushing the cap every year. We want to spend the money intelligently. We’re Big Blue, we’re going to spend to the cap.”
Now, your initial reaction to that is probably one of surprise, given Burke’s previous statements about a potential cap decline. Â Â Does that mean his statement today runs counter to the theory of a rebuilding effort?Â Â Â Â Not at all.
This proposed offer to purchase the struggling Phoenix Coyotes by Jim Balsillie may be a better possibility this time around. It may seem impossible to fathom another NHL club so close to its flagship franchise, the Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres, but it’s not jurisdiction that’s at the heart of the issue here.
It’s the salary cap, revenue and a return to the dead puck era.

We have very exciting news! This year, over 540 people voted in the GP6 Music Competition Poll, and each song was extremely popular. Because of this, and also due to the fact that many people were unable to choose only one piece, we have decided that the action that most reflects the student opinion on what the GP6 music should be is to put all 7 songs on rotation in GP6. This means that in the upcoming weeks, you will continue to hear more pieces added to GP6, and there will also always be a variety of songs rotating on the platform.
Once again, we would like to congratulate our finalists and can’t wait until next year’s GP6 Music Competition!

I do not quote the article because my response is about the unstated assumptions and tone of the article as much as anything else. Honestly, it’s a poorly written piece and haphazardly put together. It’s clearly got more than one author. The authors implement a kind of self-centered and problematic narrative foreign teachers often use to talk about Korea and Koreans, thus it’s uncritical and self-affirming. It’s enough to ask a reader to quickly read the article and then my response. If you’d like me to address a point from the article, I’m more than happy to. Feel free to send me a note or reblog with a question.
It’s creepy the authors use the HIV, AIDS, STD tests as a tool to scold Koreans for their treatment of foreign teachers. These guys have been on about this for years, and longer than I’ve been here. For being such professional Korea haters, they have never left. They have comfortable, happy lives here. They always use the AIDS argument and they always use a comparison to the military. I’ll try to address the problems I see with both arguments.
The conservative Korean culture that tends to worry about purity and that might most benefit from the metaphor that AIDS is a sign of foreign contamination and that foreign men want to corrupt Korean women is not opposed to the US military presence on the peninsula. So, the comparison in the article that foreign teachers are the new American soldier doesn’t really work. The comparisons tell us much more about the men making the argument and what it is they are trying to construct—a better place for them to work.
The problem—bigotry towards foreigners and its persistence in spite of evidence to the contrary—is much more complex than the authors want to present. In many ways, American occupation of Korea during and since the US War here and American cooperation with Japan’s occupation has suited both the US and Korean governments and ruling elites. Let’s not overlook and forget that leftwing uprisings have been historically slaughtered while Americans looked on and did nothing. Sure, the Korean media is overwhelmingly conservative and spreads malicious rhetoric, from time to time, about foreign teachers as it does Americans, in general, but this propaganda has served US interests as well. I certainly don’t ever hear men like the authors complaining about the US in Korea.
As most conservative governance illustrates, its constituents must fear a persistent foreign influence. The US military presence has historically backed authoritarian conservatives for a reason. It’s the leftists in Korea who bang the drum to end occupation. This, too, is complex. Unfortunately, the left is rather nationalist with its relative anti-capitalist culture, pro-labor culture, and so Korean leftist action carries with it all the complications nationalism brings to any social action, like highly-structured bigotry against foreign elements within both the movement and nation. Additionally unfortunately, nationalism is rather complex and a response to Japanese and American occupations, and so it’s explicable and not simply bigoted rhetoric. Korean independence is not as simplistic as, say, American Exceptionalism, if we want to compare nationalist extremism. It’s not only more complex (one only need know Korea’s modern history to understand how complex) but it’s more aware of itself and its mission. Nobody has occupied the US, but American conservatives find foreigners to blame. Some particular somebody has consistently been involved with a project to occupy Korea and to discipline Koreans since the middle of the 19th Century. Their worries are justified. The elite (Korean government and corporate elites often historically with US backing) have every reason to help cultivate these bigotries.
The article I’ve linked to ignores this complexity in Korean attitudes towards foreigners for a self-serving purpose. It wants to compare the way Koreans think about foreign teachers to the way Koreans think about American soldiers. The comparison doesn’t hold. Korea invites teachers and offers them outstanding benefits in comparison to the shit we take for being foreigners. It’s a cooked up comparison that loses its punch under the slightest scrutiny. I really hate how the argument composes a Korean culture that is narrow and stupid and merely self-concerned, wrapped up in old myths. It’s just not the case that Koreans are of one mind about anything.
Sure, the bigotry is present and the falsehoods often appear pointless and harmful to everyone. It’s just not as simple as the authors make it. How long has it taken for the US to even attempt to begin addressing anti-black racism? We have never done it. Not yet. We don’t even like to talk about it. In fact, people tell lies about how racism is over. That’s how bad it is in the US. Koreans know they’re bigots. This isn’t a slight. All my Korean friends admit it. It’s shameful for me to hear the confession because I can’t even get my family members to address bigotry. Koreans are talking about these things.
The major altercations of the war are only just 60 years since and people are still coping with Japanese occupation. The economic ascendance of the peninsula is only two decades old. They rebuilt an entire country under the weight of authoritarian rule. They worked for their nation. Not for a teacher to feel comfortable teaching English in Korea. I get Korean contempt for foreign teachers who naively perform privileges and constantly complain about a backwards Korea. There’s a lot that Korea has learned about the world in such a short period of time. And it’s a lot of knowledge that I don’t have. It’s not that I know something they don’t know. And this is what the article assumes with its tone. That the authors and most foreign teachers are trustworthy for some reason that Koreans just won’t accept. This is simply bullshit; and a sign of another kind of bigotry that liberals always fail to examine. I don’t think it’s asking much to let Korea work out some shit on its own and learn what it means to navigate liberal, global capitalist culture without privileged intellectualist foreigners insisting cultural occupation persist until Koreans learn to properly behave.
In the 60 years since we permitted non-white people citizenship, how much has been done to find other ways to oppress foreign people of color in the US? Do I think that it’s silly and harmful for Koreans to circulate worries that foreign teachers are capable of infecting students with HIV, with AIDS, with STDs, simply by teaching in classrooms, or that, worse, we’re perverts? It’s silly and harmful. That said, foreign teachers do nothing to change public perception of them nor do they come from societies that have learned how to solve this problem of hating foreigners. Fulfilling contracts is not going to achieve any change in perception. You have to get out of the foreign ghettoes and get into Korea and make a difference.
Moreover, US, Canadian, and British citizens also express silly and harmful narratives about dirty and criminal immigrants. This is not a Korean concern. It’s international. So, we have an international concern about nationalism, authoritarianism, military occupation, the preservation of unique cultures, the stigmatization of sexual difference and illiteracy about illness. So, what do these authors who have decided they aren’t going to take it do? They make it a problem of convenience and ego. The article is clearly set up with the unstated assumption “judge me as an individual, not as a group” and that assumption undercuts any sympathy I’d be prepared to offer an individual who feels ashamed the result of a blood test their employer receives. It’s clear the authors don’t respect the group they want to be a member of nor do they respect the group they have constructed for themselves.
We all know for a fact that these authors aren’t activists. What work have they done? Not hard to complete research and find articles testifying about how harmful it is to be ignorant of illnesses. These are teachers who would never utter another peep about bigoted Koreans were Korea to legislate a more progressive Visa structure for teachers. Their concern is extremely narrow and strictly individualist. They don’t give a shit about the thousands of oppressed laboring immigrants in Korea. They only care about the teachers. All this whining about the UN response to their complaint is purely egoist bragging about a stupid moral victory over a perceived Korean bigotry that I have shown is much more complex and much more inclusive of the US bigotry than it would first appear.
This article is poor argumentative method and I think it’s implicitly homophobic and prejudiced. When people start talking about “gays”, bad things happen because “gays” are often treated as a monolithic identity and for purposes of establishing a kind of liberal social order in the discourse. Gays become a tool. These are straight men and women who want us to sympathize with them because their school wants them to prove they have no STDs and don’t have HIV or AIDS. In Korea, this is a means to suss out transgressive sexualities as much as it is to keep Koreans healthy. So, the teachers are embarrassed that Koreans think they are perverts. That’s what this is about. It’s terrible stuff. The authors aren’t being honest. I’ve always said, who do I care who sees a blood test result? But then I have a different experience with conservative Korean culture that these authors rail about. This dirty leftist teacher gets along just fine in spite of the annual hassle of renewing my Visa. I have never experienced one bit of pushback for who I am. Much more the opposite, in fact. I have experienced overwhelming curiosity. So, you know, the authors don’t represent me. And quite frankly they love saying they represent all of us when they clearly aren’t interested in different narratives just as they aren’t interested in other immigrants.
I may agree with their assessment of Anti-English Spectrum, much of Korean print journalism, the Korean government’s failure to appropriately address a problem that would be easy to fix, but I fail to sympathize with their methods, their rhetoric, their self-representation. The foreign teaching population is filled with self-loathing, alcoholism, sexual predation, illiteracy, and falsified credentials. None of these are so uncommon that we’re shocked when we learn about an incident. Teachers skip work when it serves them and breach contracts all the time. Sure, me and my friends, we’re dedicated teachers and work hard at our craft, but the schools and universities are also filled with teachers who simply don’t want to lose a good job and aren’t willing to do much to earn their keep. They’re in Korea for other reasons.
We have to deal with the complicated issues with care. And I don’t think these authors have ever approached this debate with anything other than a selfish sense of unearned ambition and desire to find ways to justify becoming more free and upwardly mobile within Korean society without having to actually do any of the social work necessary to transform the problems they purport to address.

Primerica Saves Significant Costs by Managing Licensing Requirements with an LMS
Primerica’s roots date back to 1977 when the company began a revolutionary crusade to transform the life insurance industry. Primerica originated the “Buy Term and Invest the Difference” philosophy which encourages families to purchase affordable term life insurance so they can get the protection they need at a price that can afford and have more money to invest in their family’s future.
This groundbreaking philosophy has been a significant piece of their foundation even as they diversified and expanded over the years. Today, Primerica is positioned for exponential growth and to transform the financial services industry.
- Primerica needed a more efficient way to manage licensing for over 1,000 insurance agents
- By leveraging the eSSential LMS, Primerica is able too report and track continuing education curriculum for a large, diverse agent population from a single location
- Primerica’s agents are now able to print necessary certifications & documents on their own, freeing up administrators to focus on the company’s growth
- Transferring live training registration and management to the eSSential LMS has produced significant time savings for both administrators and agents
Keeping track of licensing curriculum and requirements for its large agent population was a time-consuming task for the company. Primerica needed the ability to deliver pre/post-license curriculum for their large agent population as well as provide a single location to deliver and track continuing education curriculum.
Another driving factor for implementing an LMS was the need to improve the training registration process. At the time of their LMS search, Primerica delivered over 1,000 instructor-led classes a year and had no centralized system for managing sign ups and attendance.
Being in the insurance/finance industry, Primerica must adhere to several state standards and regulations. All reporting has to be sent to the Department of Education and meet all guidelines for each of the states and countries with whom they do business. Primerica needed an application that would easily integrate their current reporting system.
the elogic solution
Primerica selected the eSSential LMS because of eLogic Learning’s commitment to understanding Primerica’s business inside and out. The eLogic team developed a full understanding of Primerica’s vision and crafted a custom solution that would fully meet the company’s intricate needs.
Implementation followed a three-phased approach. This approach included setting up online training courses to be accessible through a “Smartlink” so agents could access certification courses on a 24/7 basis with one click. Over 1,000 instructor-led courses were also imported into the LMS so agents could sign up for pre-licensing and other required courses conveniently online. The system was further customized to meet all industry requirements from states with low regulations to highly regulated states.
Throughout each phase of the process, the eLogic team performed thorough testing and analysis to ensure system performance and communicated openly with Primerica at all times.
Implementing eSSential has created significant efficiencies for Primerica, freeing up administrators to focus on the company’s growth. In the past, course completion documents had to be physically mailed to participants. With eSSential, end users now have the ability to print necessary documents and certificates on their own. Documents can also be transferred to governing bodies electronically, saving valuable time.
Using eSSential’s event management features made signing up for training a faster process for agents and gave administrators the ability to manage training events more efficiently. Primerica was able to reach thousands across the country at one time and increase the efficiency of their workforce. Over 600 pre-license courses have been delivered per week in eSSential since implementation.
As additional phases have been rolled out to replace classroom scheduling and as courses have been expanded into Canada, Primerica’s savings have multiplied.

The Cuomo Foundation actively took part in the closing ceremony and presented the six top prizes to the winning finalists. The Cuomo Foundation has supported and fully funded this cultural event since 2004.
The renowned competition was started in 1990 by the Fryderyk Chopin Association, whose founder and artistic director is Maestro Marcella Crudeli. Over 91 classical musicians from over 14 nations, including Russia, China, Italy, and Belarus, gathered for two weeks in the majestic Cloister of the Genovesi, which was built in the 15th century.
For ten days, the president of the Jury and its nine expert members collaborated to analyse the contestants using a structured and methodical process to determine the top pianists. The members of the Jury were: Maestro Marcella Crudeli, President of the Jury, Salvatore Barbatano (Ita), Maria Teresa Carunchio (Arg-Ita), Luigi Fracasso (Ita), Pawel Gorajski (Pol), Cinzia Pennesi (Ita), Franco Carlo Ricci (Ita), Marco Sollini (Ita), Rosalba Vestini (Ita)and Marek Szlezer (Pol), former winner in 1993 of Young Emerging Pianists section.
The six categories in which the young pianists participated and competed in were as follows: Young Emerging Pianists born after 1997, Young Pianists born after 2003, 4 Hands Duo Section, 2 Piano Duo Section, 2nd Chopin Prize and finally 1st Chopin Prize.
The gala finale evening was held at the Palladium Theatre of Roma Tre University with a concert performance and award ceremony to conclude the 31st Piano Competition “Roma.” Maestro Pawel Gorajski conducted the two finalists in front of a large audience of about 400 people. The Cuomo Foundation, represented by Mr Peter Hungerbuhler and Mrs Nina Orenga de Gaffory Orsini, presented all six top prizes including the first Chopin Prize to Belarusian winner Denis Linnik (born 1995) for his interpretation of Frédéric Chopin’s Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21. Vsevolod Brigida, a Russian pianist born in 1987, received the second Chopin Prize for his performance of the same concerto.

If Kapil Sibal’s attempts to police net content fructify, it may even lead to a reversal of some of the forward-looking provisions of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000. The new proposal, for instance, will reverse Section 79 which protects intermediaries (websites and carriers) from being prosecuted or made liable for any objectionable content published. Says Pranesh Prakash, programme manager, Centre for Internet and Society: “Unfortunately, what Sibal says turns this upside down as they would now be held responsible for e-content.” Sibal wants to monitor content prior to publication.
While there are privacy concerns, any attempt to do real-time monitoring could pose serious legal complications. Says cyber law expert Pavan Duggal: “This proposition could be ultra vires of the Constitution which guarantees fundamental rights under Article 19, which is about freedom of speech and expression subject to reasonable restrictions.” And the reasonable restrictions for monitoring, blocking and interception of internet content are already built into the IT Act.
Says Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar: “If Sibal was really serious about protecting people, he should have read the IT Act that has a section which allows a victim to legally pursue his/her claim of defamation. If Sibal has his way, DoT bureaucrats will decide what content is ‘appropriate’ or ‘inappropriate’.”
Moreover, the IT Intermediary Guideline Rules, 2011, though still provisional, mandate that once service providers receive instructions, they have to remove objectionable content within 36 hours. The Act also has other specific provisions like Section 69, which provides safeguards for interception, monitoring/decryption of information; Section 69A which gives procedures and safeguards for blocking access of information by the public; Section 69B for monitoring and collecting traffic data or information. There are also provisions for obscenity and defamation, with steep fines prescribed. Following these, the state has blocked 11 websites since ’09.
However, what Sibal and his men would have seen is the Act’s inability to act on the content freely flowing in social media sites. Says Duggal: “The IT Act, 2000, was amended in ’08, but doesn’t talk about social media which came up only around that time. There is a need to bring social media within the ambit of the Act. What Sibal is suggesting doesn’t exist anywhere in the world.” Monitoring social media websites would also be a huge challenge as crores of messages and tweets are generated from India everyday.
And privacy? Experts say since India does not have dedicated legislation on privacy, the government could escape any attack on that front. Although some privacy elements were added to the IT Act in 2008, its scope is limited and the concept of data privacy is missing. In fact, the law doesn’t even recognise a person’s right to data privacy!


By 2010, cost over-runs were impacting other projects, though JWST itself remained on schedule. Other major features of the observatory were unchanged.  The telescope must be kept very cold in order to observe in the infrared without interference, so it will be deployed in space near the Earth–Sun L2 Lagrange point, and a large sunshield made of silicon-coated and aluminium-coated Kapton will keep its mirror and instruments below 50 K (−223.2 °C; −369.7 °F). Another example is Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) instrument, which started out using a block of nitrogen ice that depleted after a couple of years, but was then converted to a cryocooler that worked continuously.  It was assembled in California by 2015, and after that it had to be integrated with the rest of the space telescope leading up to its planned 2021 launch. Wat als eerste opvalt, is de enorme spiegel op de telescoop. GO programs will be selected through peer review by a Time Allocation Committee (TAC), similar to the proposal review process used for the Hubble Space Telescope.
, Infrared radiation can pass more freely through regions of cosmic dust that scatter visible light.  The GTO program provides guaranteed observing time for scientists who developed hardware and software components for the observatory.
 ESA is contributing about €300 million, including the launch, and the Canadian Space Agency about $39 million Canadian. A total of 460 hours of observing time was awarded to these 13 programs, which span science topics including the Solar System, exoplanets, stars and star formation, nearby and distant galaxies, gravitational lenses, and quasars. Similar to how Hubble is operated, anyone, anywhere in the world, will be allowed to submit proposals for observations. The bandwidth and digital throughput of the satellite is designed to operate at 458 gigabits of data per day for the length of the mission. Northrop Grumman's Astro Aerospace business unit has been contracted to build the Deployable Tower Assembly (DTA) which connects the OTE to the spacecraft bus and the Mid Boom Assembly (MBA) which helps to deploy the large sunshields on orbit. In addition, there is a fast steering mirror which can adjust its position many times per second to provide image stabilization. In exchange for full partnership, representation and access to the observatory for its astronomers, ESA is providing the NIRSpec instrument, the Optical Bench Assembly of the MIRI instrument, an Ariane 5 ECA launcher, and manpower to support operations.  Eighteen primary mirror segments, secondary, tertiary and fine steering mirrors, plus flight spares have been fabricated and polished by Ball Aerospace & Technologies based on beryllium segment blanks manufactured by several companies including Axsys, Brush Wellman, and Tinsley Laboratories. , In contrast to other proposed observatories, most of which have already been canceled or put on hold, including Terrestrial Planet Finder (2011), Space Interferometry Mission (2010), International X-ray Observatory (2011), MAXIM (Microarcsecond X-ray Imaging Mission), SAFIR (Single Aperture Far-Infrared Observatory), SUVO (Space Ultraviolet-Visible Observatory), and the SPECS (Submillimeter Probe of the Evolution of Cosmic Structure), the JWST is the last big NASA astrophysics mission of its generation to be built.  The computer also controls the pointing and moment of the spacecraft, taking in sensor data from the gyroscopes and star tracker, and sending the necessary commands to the reaction wheels or thrusters depending. Even where the atmosphere is transparent, many of the target chemical compounds, such as water, carbon dioxide, and methane, also exist in the Earth's atmosphere, vastly complicating analysis.  The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is an orbiting infrared observatory that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope, with longer wavelength coverage and greatly improved sensitivity.
The James Webb Space Telescope is designed to cool itself without a dewar, using a combination of sunshield and radiators with the mid-infrared instrument using an additional cryocooler. New technological frontiers have been pioneered by the project, and it has passed its design reviews. ", "James Webb Space Telescope. , One reason for the early cost growth is that it is difficult to forecast the cost of development, and in general budget predictability improved when initial development milestones were achieved. For this reason the JWST's instruments will not measure visible or ultraviolet light like the Hubble Telescope, but will have a much greater capacity to perform infrared astronomy. Vandaar dat de telescoop geschikt is gemaakt voor waarnemingen met golflengtes van 0,6 tot 28 micrometer. , The Spacecraft Bus is on the Sun-facing "warm" side and operates at a temperature of about 300 K. Everything on the Sun facing side must be able to handle the thermal conditions of JWST's halo orbit, which has one side in continuous sunlight and the other in the shade of the spacecraft sunshield.
, Cost growth revealed in spring 2005 led to an August 2005 re-planning. , The structure of the Spacecraft Bus must support the 6.5-ton space telescope, while it itself weighs 350 kg (about 770 lb). Zijn hitteschild is zodanig ontworpen dat het aan de koude kant -223 °C kan zijn terwijl aan de andere kant stikstof gekookt kan worden. The remaining technology development item (the MIRI cryocooler) completed its technology maturation milestone in April 2007. Get the latest updates on NASA missions, watch NASA TV live, and learn about our quest to reveal the unknown and benefit all humankind.
 The shielding maintains a stable temperature throughout the structures on the dark side, which is critical to maintaining precise alignment of the primary mirror segments.
Ball Aerospace & Technologies has been subcontracted to develop and build the Optical Telescope Element (OTE).
, Some scientists have expressed concerns about growing costs and schedule delays for the Webb telescope, which competes for scant astronomy budgets and thus threatens funding for other space science programs. Because the universe is expanding, as the light travels it becomes red-shifted, and objects at extreme distances are therefore easier to see if viewed in the infrared. , The JWST will be located near the second Lagrange point (L2) of the Earth-Sun system, which is 1,500,000 kilometres (930,000 mi) from Earth, directly opposite to the Sun.
, The Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) is a framework that provides electrical power, computing resources, cooling capability as well as structural stability to the Webb telescope. In 2002, it was renamed after NASA's second administrator (1961–1968) James E. Webb (1906–1992), noted for playing a key role in the Apollo program and establishing scientific research as a core NASA activity. NASA stated that the SIDECAR ASIC will include all the functions of a 9.1 kilograms (20 lb) instrument box in a 3 cm package and consume only 11 milliwatts of power. SpaceX says its new Starship has the ability to deliver satellites and space telescopes even larger than the James Webb and is designed to reach Mars orbit. It is made with bonded graphite-epoxy composite attached to the underside of Webb's telescope structure.

 Final construction of the Webb telescope was completed in November 2016, after which extensive testing procedures began. De James Webb zal gebouwd en onderhouden worden door NASA met hulp van ESA en CSA. De primaire spiegel bestaat uit 18 elementen uit beryllium, gecoat met een laag goud.

, Another important aspect of the Spacecraft Bus is the central computing, memory storage, and communications equipment. In summer 2010, the mission passed its Critical Design Review (CDR) with excellent grades on all technical matters, but schedule and cost slips at that time prompted Maryland US Senator Barbara Mikulski to call for an independent review of the project. , On 6 July 2011, the United States House of Representatives' appropriations committee on Commerce, Justice, and Science moved to cancel the James Webb project by proposing an FY2012 budget that removed US$1.9 billion from NASA's overall budget, of which roughly one quarter was for JWST. The committee charged that the project was "billions of dollars over budget and plagued by poor management".
 In response, the American Astronomical Society issued a statement in support of JWST, as did Maryland US Senator Barbara Mikulski.
As is typical for a complex design that cannot be changed once launched, there are detailed reviews of every portion of design, construction, and proposed operation.
 The MCDR encompassed all previous design reviews.
The ISIM holds the four science instruments and a guide camera. The review concluded the project was technically sound, but that funding phasing at NASA needed to be changed.  Launch was delayed again in June 2018 following recommendations from an independent review board.
 In the 27 March 2018 press release announcing the latest delay, NASA said that it will release a revised cost estimate after a new launch window is determined in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA). Twenty two artists were selected nationwide to attend the James Webb Space Telescope Artist Event at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Other passed reviews include the Integrated Science Instrument Module review in March 2009, the Optical Telescope Element review completed in October 2009, and the Sunshield review completed in January 2010.
