The T-28 Trojan was built as a replacement to the well-known AT-6 Texan. The Air Force were the first to purchase them. Before long, the Navy and Marine Corps also established interest in these great trainers. Different models would follow with bigger engines in the B model on up. The C model offered an arresting hook for carrier landings. The D model added underwing hard-points to be able to hang a variety of weapons. The D models were used in Southeast Asia for counter-insurgency missions. The French also ordered a number of T-28s and called them the Fennec. The T-28s this year made some great formation passes and the Trojan Horsemen also performed.

Introducing Norn, the live-in member's club
Every member's club promises networking space with like-minded individuals, but Norn is perhaps the world's most exclusive
Norn's London residency
It's not a hotel, it's not a house-share, it's not a co-living space, and it's not a members club; well, not quite, anyway. Opened in April, Norn bills itself as a kind of offline social network for think-y, address-fluid frequent flyers where, for a monthly fee ($2,000), member-residents can stay at one of its homes in San Francisco, London, Berlin or Barcelona from one to six months. Meals with other guests are included; in fact, they're the whole point. With a series of dinner salons, Norn founder Travis Hollingsworth, who got the idea after spending almost a decade between cities as a management consultant, intends to revive "the lost art" of conversation which has come undone in the digital age (a local membership is also available to access events only). "It's kind of a long-form approach to life," he says. "Anywhere worth getting takes time. That's why we encourage people to live in a city for a month, not just a week. And to engage in long discussions that spill over dinner and into the night." One recent topic: "Is living the Good Life a fixed state or a process? And how do you know when you've reached it?"

Optimism In Alex Zanardi's Dear Miss Breed
Imagine…..a young man is driving over 500mph. He hits the brakes a little too fast and flips, over and over again. He wakes up finding out his legs are gone and his Formula One career is over. This was the case for Alex Zanardi. Alex lost both of his legs in a Formula One crash in 2001. Instead of falling deep into depression, Alex pushed through his setback and won a gold medal in handcycling. Many people have asked Alex how he managed to get past all that and be where is is today. His answer was simple: Optimism. Alex went through a lengthy hardship, as did the Japanese- Americans during World War II. A collection of letters sent by the Japanese- Americans was turned into the book Dear Miss Breed. It tells the stories of young children, who…show more content…
First of all, pessimist's criticism is not always wrong even if it is negative. Take everything they say into consideration before denouncing their input. Do not push your optimistic views on pessimists because it is very similar to politics, a politician's mind can't be changed, but do be persistent in your output. Louise Ogawa is an example of someone who chooses to be optimistic in time of conflict. She states "One of the most beautiful sceneries was when crossing a bridge which was right above the Colorado River. It is, indeed, a beautiful river." Other children in her situation would be worrying about the future but Louise enjoys her last moments of freedom looking at the beautiful river on her trip to Poston Internment…show more content…

These famous people all had to overcome adversity to be where they are today. A young girl had her tonsils removed and became very sick afterwards, the cause was her lingual artery was cut during her tonsillectomy. She stated "My mom called the ENT office and the doctor on call (not the person who performed the surgery and not the person who suctioned out my throat) said that I had to go to the hospital so he could cauterize my throat. When my mom was on the phone, I passed out again. I truly believed that I was going to die." Later she explains that her way of staying hopeful, throughout her debacle, was to be optimistic from this quote "Those words have stuck with me since the surgery. One and a million. I figured that I could look at that in two ways: I could be the one in a million for bad things or I could be one in a million for good things" Before her surgery to sew up her lingual artery the doctor said there was one in a million chance she would survive. What she means is not to wait and worry for the bad things to happen but to enjoy what is happening here and know. These are all

Isabella Perez Research Paper
The doctor believed that Perez experienced a severe panic attack that possibly stopped her heart activity when she collapsed the night she was suspected of being possessed by an evil spirit. In addition, according to Daily Mail, another suspicion is that Perez had a cataplexy attack, a temporary loss of voluntary muscle function which was triggered by strong emotions such as stress or fear. Meanwhile, Perez had possibly experienced lack of oxygen after she woke up inside the coffin which resulted to her death.

Chief Chimney Services, Inc. offers comprehensive chimney and hearth care, including the installation of Rumford Fireplaces, Bellfires Fireplaces, Chimney Caps, Energy Top Dampers, Pre-fabricated Chimneys and Refractory Fireplaces.
Rumford Fireplaces: Rumford's are known for their unique build and design, and first came onto the scene in the 1790's. They are typically much taller and shallower than most other types of fireplaces and, as a result, are able to put out high levels of heat. Their design also encourages smoke to exit through the chimney, leaving smoke problems out of the question. These beauties demand attention and are usually the focal point of any room. For more information on Rumford fireplaces, check out Rumford Fireplaces.
Bellfire Fireplaces: Bellfires are a wonderful alternative to traditional, wood-burning fireplaces, and offer the highest levels of efficiency. They are designed to reflect heat into the room and back into the fire, which results in a warm home, fully-burned wood, and basically no creosote or smoke. If you're thinking of having a Bellfire installed, check out Bellfire Fireplaces.
Chimney Caps: Chimney caps play a key role in chimney system defense by acting as a guard against wind, water, and animal invasion. Caps come in all sorts of styles and looks but are typically constructed of steel, mesh, or copper. You can also have your cap custom-made to better fit the décor of your home. If you live in a hilly or high-wind area, we can recommend a chimney cap that is designed to deal with high winds and prevent draft problems. Whatever your cap needs, Chief Chimney Services, Inc. offers advice and expert installation every time. For more on chimney caps, please check out our Chimney Caps page.
Energy Top Dampers: Energy top dampers are dampers that are mounted and sealed to the top of a flue tile. They typically have a firebox-mounted handle that allows easy opening and closing of the damper. Installing an energy top damper can decrease air loss in your home by up to 90 percent. Because these dampers are mounted on top of the flue tile, they can be used in place of caps, to keep wind, water, and animals out while keeping heat in. For more information on Energy Top Dampers, check out Energy Top Dampers.
Pre-fabricated Chimneys: Pre-fabricated chimneys are a metal alternative to masonry chimneys and are typically designed to work in conjunction with specific pre-fabricated fireplaces. Pre-fabricated chimneys require professional installation and are only guaranteed when used exactly as instructed by the manufacturer. For more information on prefabricated chimney systems, check out Pre-fabricated Chimneys.
Refractory Fireplaces: Refractory fireplaces are masonry fireplaces constructed of mortar that is prepared in the factory ahead of time. This type of mortar is thoroughly tested and can stand up to high heat better than traditional mortar. It also takes out the guesswork of mixing, so you know your fireplace material is compliant with code. For more information on Refractory Fireplaces, check out Refractory Fireplaces.

Now reading: So you want to be a cyber security specialist?
Looking for a thrilling new career? Then take a look at what cyber security specialists do every day of the week. They hunt for vulnerabilities in systems. Help organizations respond to attacks. Move them to secure, advanced platforms. And much more.
Cyber security has become a high-visibility position. In the not-so-distant past, a cyber security specialist's job largely consisted of routine back-office tasks such as security monitoring, patching and compliance. Today, with so many large corporations suffering from highly publicized data breaches, security is a top concern at the board level. Skilled specialists are in high demand, and the field of cyber security has more opportunities than ever before.
Security risk management advisors. These specialists focus on the big picture of security risk and compliance across the enterprise. They assess risks and how they could affect the business and develop plans for security strategy and transformation, risk and compliance management, enterprise security architecture, security awareness and cyber assurance.
Incident response teams. When systems and data come under attack, incident response specialists are deployed to help put out the fire, and isolate and contain the damage. They also identify the attackers. And later, they help rebuild and strengthen the organization's cyber defenses.
Threat hunters. Threat hunters are called in to ferret out information on targeted attacks by threat actors. In many cases, a company may already know someone has infiltrated a system, but they don't know what the hackers are after. Threat hunters use software tools, network data, a solid methodology and automated metrics to learn as much as they can about the attackers without tipping them off. This role requires special skills in digital forensics and incident response, as well as an understanding of how intrusions occur and the type of artifacts that are left behind as subtle clues. Threat hunters understand how threat actors quietly move laterally throughout an organization and what mechanisms they use to mask their activities.
White-hat hackers. Another group of specialists serves as white-hat hackers who discover vulnerabilities in systems. For example, they might explore a web-based app for "back doors" through which they can enter and gain access to valuable customer records. Then they try to move laterally throughout the organization looking for high-value targets. They run the clock while they do this, so the organization can learn how quickly its systems were breached. Penetration testing is another preventive activity by white-hat hackers. Here, specialists use one of the organization's apps just as a customer would, but with one key difference: They also look for illicit entry points, errors in the code that could allow criminals to gain access to confidential information about the organization's customers. Vulnerabilities discovered are then graded on a scale from critical to low risk and presented to the organization for recommended fixes.
Attack simulation teams. In a cyberattack simulation, an organization invites a team of specialists to attempt an attack on its systems, as a way of identifying and ultimately fixing cyber vulnerabilities. The attackers try everything at their disposal to break into systems, take data, and even compromise the chief executive officer's PC. These simulated attacks can include Red Team/Blue Team drills in which a team of attackers attempts to infiltrate systems using a mutually agreed-upon technique on a pre-identified vulnerability. This not only helps identify vulnerabilities, but also helps improve the speed and responsiveness of the defending security team.
The work of cyber security specialists is exciting — and a lot more varied than you might think. Learn more about planning for a career in cyber security.

Carrie Underwood, Why Are You Crying Glitter?
Matthew Scott Donnelly
A faceful of stitches following a nasty injury is old news — Carrie Underwood's letting go of a painful accident with a new beauty look: glittery tears.
The "Heartbeat" singer, who's shown her face only a handful of times since tumbling outside her home in November, shared a Twitter-teaser Sunday (April 8) in which her face is decorated by shimmering tears. Your move, Fenty Beauty.
"This Wednesday, April 11. 6am ET," was all that Underwood captioned the shot. But fans were more than ready to get their hands on whatever the singer was peddling.
"This photo is absolutely mesmerizing! Also, I'd like to thank Carrie for giving us an actual date this time instead of 'soon,'" one wrote, while another noted "So exciting! I love these mysterious hints! The focus is on your eye and I think you are crying? Wow this is giving me chills already. Cannot wait!!!"
Underwood's fifth and most recent studio album, Storyteller, dropped in 2015, and included the singles "Smoke Break," "Heartbeat," "Church Bells" and "Dirty Laundry." The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and Billboard ultimately named Underwood the top country artist of the year.
Underwood warned fans in January that she may look a bit "different" after she heals from the damage done to her face.
"I'm hoping that, by then, the differences are minimal, but, again, I just don't know how it's all going to end up," she said in an Instagram post.

Why I Fear Returning to the United States
I always think "it" may happen to me. When I saw Rodney Kind getting smashed to a bloody pulp, I thought it could happen to me. My fear, however, goes beyond such notorious incidents. In fact, the very thought of returning to the United States makes me almost succumb to paranoia.
It wasn't always like that. As a kid, I truly believed in the divine greatness of America. One of my favorite songs for several years was: "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue." Hell, for a long time I contemplated joining the army so I could spread freedom. People forget that after 9/11, many Americans revered W Bush. His approval rating was massively high, and it was not until the blunder that was Iraq that many Americans started losing faith in the greatness of our country. I felt deceived about the weapons of mass destruction that never materialized, outrage at torture in Abu Ghraib and in CIA black sites, and dismayed at the general incompetence of the government.
Unlike most of my liberal friends, however, my concerns for the future of the United States were not allayed by Barack Obama. My mistrust of America went deeper than just one man in the executive branch. I had lost faith in America's fourth estate.
I remember watching documentary after documentary in the 1990s and early 00s detailing the Saddam menace in Iraq. It's only in retrospect that I've learned that what the US media presented as a solid, clear-cut case was in fact anything but in the eyes of most of the world. And though the CEO of the executive branch has changed skin colors, the media remains as whitewashed as ever; the Murdochs of the world are still pulling the same strings.
It was with that lack of faith that I decided not to vote for Obama. That Obama was even being allowed airtime by corporate media outlets was enough to signal to me that he would continue many of his predecessor's policies. I knew there would be -- and there has rightfully been -- much needed change on the domestic front, but limited gay rights and a sub-par health insurance are not enough to blind me to Obama's foreign policy of drone executions, torture forgiveness, bailout of bankers, and general usurpation of the Constitution. None of Obama's CIA and Wall Street-subservient policies have surprised me. I knew when he was running for office that he had the "reformed" face the establishment needed. I knew before he got elected that the capacity of blacks for tyranny and subservience to corporate masters was just as well-developed as that of whites.
So, I lost faith in the fourth estate for supporting a corrupt executive and sanitizing his bloodthirst in the Middle East. Further, my faith in the police and the judicial system was eroded the more I read about private prisons. Correction Corp --- the very same corporation that just recently signed a deal with the same religious fundamentalists who brought us the W Bush caliphate -- circulated a memo requesting states keep their prisons at a certain capacity. State agreements with private interests in the freedom of men encourages draconian legislation that unfairly targets poor minorities. The United States has 5% of the world's population, but 25% of the world's prisoners. America's prison population surpasses that of China by 1 million, and there are 5 million Americans also on probation and parole. America incarcerates more people than any other country on earth.
In the US, I'd be more afraid of a cop planting drugs in the trunk of my car, than I'd be of walking around the South Bronx at 3am. I have lived in the South Bronx, and can relate to this issue personally. It was a fellow Dominican cop from the Bronx who quit the force, outraged at the fact that he was expected to maintain quotas instead of "serve and protect." Simply put, I feel safer around American criminals than American cops.
Finally, and most controversially, I feel that the government has not been fully forthwith concerning the events of September the 11th, 2001. The government spent more money investigating Monica Lewinsky than it did the murder of 3,000 of our fellow citizens. On top of spending less money on the 9/11 commission, the commissioners have complained of getting stonewalled. The commissioners themselves wrote a book detailing how they were, "set up to fail." The fact that more than a decade after the attacks, I still don't know the truth hits me with more symbolism than memories of the Berlin wall. The culture of guns and conspiracy itself is enough to scare me. I truly fear that some new truth or widely-circulated rumor could set about a catastrophic chain of events.
As catastrophic as the government's response to Hurricane Katrina, which highlighted how the poor are neglected and outcast. But of course, better disaster response means entrusting the executive branch with near-dictatorial powers. Congress gave Bush the power to declare martial law; this years after his follies in Iraq. Though he lost those power the following year, his executive orders and future legislation basically guarantees that a future president, if not this current one, will gain control of the Nation Guard, and the power to deploy the military in the streets; hopefully not as bloody as when Lincoln did. The imperial presidency has never been so more encoded into law.
When a federal judge declared Obama's power to kill Americans without trial legal, she said she found herself in a veritable catch-22. And indeed, the American catch-22 extends beyond government. It sinks into the psyche of every American that wakes up and still believes himself to live in a free and dignified Homeland.

A superb links, one of the best in France ! Nestling among the dunes by the sea, this is an authentic links whose rugged, natural character has remained little changed during its 90 plus year history. The mild climate ensures excellent playing conditions with good greens and dry fairways all year round on this traditional Scottish style course where the true challenge is provided by the wind. The course was updated to its present layout in 1999 as part of a drive to develop golf in France. It is now nearly 6000 metres – 6562 yards long and meanders through natural dunes and undulating fairways and offers several raised greens which make for challenging approach shots. The links greens drain naturally and thus the course has excellent all year round playing conditions. Three short par four's (holes 3, 8 and 18) require pin point accuracy to the green whilst several of the others (4,5,6,13,15 and 17) are very long and can become fearsome in the winds which can come from sea or land. Of the five par three's, only the 7th is straightforward. The 2nd and 12th are long and the 10th and 16th have raised greens that are difficult to find from the tee. If you are not playing well, just enjoy the scenery and the atmosphere and the unique links feeling in the Irish or Scottish tradition. Under the holiday sun it's an enchanting place to be, under the autumn sky when strong winds stir the rough it becomes an impressive, almost oppressive place to be. It is under these more challenging weather conditions that the course resembles its sister courses from across the English channel where true golf began. There is also a nine-hole course tucked behind the dunes which is short but quite tricky and certainly worth a visit.

The committee in question had originally been organized to protest against some abuses in the tax department; but since then, from election to election, it had been drifting from one subject to another, finding an occasional evidence of its worthwhileness in some newspaper comment and the frightened reformation of some minor political official who ended, usually, by taking refuge behind the skirts of some higher political power–in the last reaches, Messrs.

Young Cowperwood was making a rapid calculation. You'd have been surprised if you'd heard me singing, 'God Save the King' in Dublin last week." "Did you really?"

Hennessy you later
10:25 p.m. – A University of Maine Police Department (UMPD) officer on foot patrol near the freshman quad smelled marijuana coming from a car parked out front of Cumberland Hall. The officer approached the vehicle to find a 19-year-old non-student of the university sitting in the parked car with three other students smoking marijuana and sharing a bottle of Hennessy. The student was summonsed for possession of alcohol by a minor and possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. He also received a trespassing warning that extends until the end of the Spring semester and his car was towed.
One margarita too many
1:49 a.m. – UMPD officers on routine patrol spotted a downed female in the Steam Plant parking lot. Upon approaching the individual, officers found her to be knelt over, throwing up on the ground and called University Volunteer Ambulance Corps (UVAC) for assistance. UVAC assessed the situation and determined the female, who claimed to have only had two margaritas, did not need transport to a medical facility, as she was responsive to their questions. UMPD did not issue a summons despite the female being a non-student of the university.
Rough-housing gone wrong
2:42 a.m. – UMPD officers responded to a fire alarm at the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity house. Upon arrival, officers determined a brother fell into a fire extinguisher, setting off the extinguisher and blowing its contents into the air which set off their fire security system. Because it was the second case of a fire alarm going off at their house that night, Phi Kappa Sigma was referred to judicial affairs.
Ooooh, that smell
11:15 a.m. – A UMPD officer responded to an anonymous complaint of the smell of marijuana on the third floor of Somerset Hall. The responding officer knocked on the door of an 18-year-old first-year student, who was very compliant with the officer's orders. The student willfully handed over his pipe and grinder and was summonsed for possession of drug paraphernalia.

BREAKING: Abortions Down 97 Percent in This State
(RightIsRight.co) – BREAKING NOW: When the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this year, many questioned whether the decision would have much or any impact on the number of abortions performed.
The answer to that question is becoming clearer by the day.
As Newsmax reports in "Abortions Dropped 97 Percent in Texas After Roe Reversal":
"Abortions in Texas dropped by 97% in the month after the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade, according to preliminary data from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
"In July, just 68 abortions were performed in Texas, down from 2,596 in June. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in late June when it ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that there is no constitutional basis for the right to abortion.
"Abortions in Texas, which were already significantly decreased by the state's 2021 fetal heartbeat law, effectively stopped in June amid uncertainty about the law." [emphasis added]
And one expert weighed in on what happened.
"'I think that part of that was the confusion afterward, but we're also seeing that the law in Texas took effect, and when it did, Texas was seeing a significant drop off in the number of abortions that were being performed,' Laura Echevarria, communications director and press secretary for the National Right to Life Committee, told the Washington Examiner." [emphasis added]
At this point, there can be little doubt that the overturning of Row by the United States Supreme Court has dramatically reduced the number of abortions performed.

The Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB) is a musical organization dedicated to promoting the interests of small school bands in the state of Texas.  The focus of ATSSB is on serving the needs of small school band students, directors, parents, and administrators. ATSSB was created in 1991.

ATSSB Membership is open to any band director and/or assistant director, those high schools which the University Interscholastic League classifies as class 4A(AAAA) and below (beginning in 2014-15) or middle school that feeds a 4A or smaller high school or a private middle school, with classifications determined by enrollment. The school must be accredited by the Texas Education Agency or an accrediting agency approved by the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission.

The Association of Texas Small School Bands is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Although the ATSSB was formed out of frustration with the Texas Music Educators Association (believing it, and especially its All-State Band, to be dominated by the larger AAAA and AAAAA schools), the two organizations regularly work together, (alongside with the Texas Bandmasters Organization), to promote music education in Texas. ATSSB meets twice each year in General Session - once in February and once in July.

In addition, the ATSSB All-State Bands rehearse and perform in San Antonio in February.  Each year, ATSSB hosts an audition process to select two high school all-state bands and a jazz band.

History
At a Texas Music Educators Association Executive Board meeting in 1981, Region 2 Chairman Lonnie Dooley made a request for a feasibility study to consider designating one of the existing All-State bands for 4A and down students only. This request was based on information that although half of the students in Texas attended schools class 4A and down, less than twelve percent of the students in the All-State Bands were from those classifications. Less than three percent were from 3A schools and down. The proposal was defeated by a vote of 55 to 6 to make the study. Lonnie asked what had to be done to get the issue before the general membership and TMEA President Bill Woods responded by naming a committee to study the proposal. The committee returned a negative report and after some discussion, the measure failed. After 1981, the number of small school bandsmen in the All-State Band continued to decline as the quality and quantity of private lesson programs in 4A and 5A schools increased, in effect eliminating small school students from an allstate experience.

In 1989, Mike Marsh, from Eldorado High School and TMEA Band Division Chairman of Region VII, sent a letter to small school band directors across the state. In his letter, he called for directors to petition their Region Band Chairs to call for a referendum on the creation of a small-school All-State Band at the TMEA Band Division meeting to be held in February. Scott Taylor (TMEA Band Division  Vice-President) appointed a "Small-School All-State Band Committee" which met in February prior to the Band Division meeting. Because this committee brought a negative report to the Band Division (8 were against, 6 for, and 2 abstained), it was quickly set aside. Before the issue could be dismissed, Kenneth Griffin from Van High School made a motion that a committee be named to "study the feasibility of creating an All-State Band specifically for students from 1A, 2A, and 3A classification schools" and that the findings of this committee be reported to the band division for their consideration at the 1991 convention. The motion was quickly seconded and the motion resoundingly passed, so Taylor subsequently appointed members to the All-State Band Reorganization Study (ASBROS). Mike Marsh (one of the appointees) had sent out a questionnaire asking who in small schools was for or against the creation of a small-school All-State Band. He received 210 responses - 202 for and 8 against.

Frank Coachman took over as Band Division Vice-President (Scott Taylor moved on to TMEA President) and guided the ASBROS committee to come up with the proposal concerning the small school All-State Band. However, Coachman added the inclusion of CCC students - something no one had ever proposed in initial discussions. In the ensuing 1991 Band Division meeting, several directors spoke for and against the proposal. Kenneth Griffin made a motion that the vote be taken to include only A, AA and AAA schools. His motion was ruled out of order by Frank Coachman and ballots were cast. The vote was 554 to 372 against the creation of a small-school All-State Band as presented by the ASBROS committee. The frustration small-school directors experienced at that February meeting inspired John Gibson from Ballinger to immediately write a letter to several small-school directors asking if they would be interested in forming a small-school band association. The positive responses he received led him to invite directors across the state who had expressed an interest in small school bands to meet in Abilene. The meeting was held in the Wylie High School band hall in Abilene, Texas, on Saturday, March 16, 1991.

A long afternoon of discussion centered around several topics, including: 1) the need for such an organization; 2) its purpose; 3) its philosophy; 4) its function - including the possibility of creating and maintaining an A-AA-AAA All-State Band; and 5) the need for immediate funds (it was decided that each one present would contribute $100 to cover the expenses of getting started). It was agreed that the purpose of the association was not in defiance of or opposition to already established organizations, but was to more fully disseminate information to, and educate and refine the unique role of, small school bands in the state of Texas. The organization was named the "Association of Texas Small School Bands." In discussion regarding the organization of ATSSB, it was decided that a Region Coordinator should be named to represent the association at the region level. These were either named from directors in attendance at that meeting or were to be secured at a later date.

It was decided that the Association would make plans to have an All-State Band clinic in San Antonio February 5–8, 1992. After objections about it being in conjunction with the TMEA convention, it was argued that it was also in conjunction with the Fat Stock Show and other lesser conventions, but that it would be difficult for small school directors to take off from school for the two events, and that most would remain as members of TMEA in addition to belonging to and participating in the activities of ATSSB. The consensus was that if at least 100 directors would participate the first year, the organization and the ensuing All-State Band would be successful. Actually, 380 directors joined that first year. In April 1991, a letter was sent to all A, AA, and AAA band directors in Texas inviting them to join the Association. They were told that ATSSB would: be a non-profit organization dedicated to the needs of students in Texas A, AA and AAA programs; support and recognize excellence in A, AA and AAA band programs and the students involved in them; be dedicated to the promotion and advancement of A, AA and AAA band programs; promote music education in Texas A, AA and AAA schools and their supporting communities through their band programs; and make every effort to organize a AAA All-State Band to recognize the individual excellence of A, AA and AAA band members in Texas.

The second meeting of the Association was held in Abilene on June 8, 1991. Mike Marsh and Kenneth Griffin reported on their trip to San Antonio to determine if there was a site for rehearsals and housing for the proposed All-State Band. After checking with area hotels (cost prohibitive and unavailable ballrooms for rehearsals - Beethoven Hall too small and the Majestic Theater booked), they were directed to the Scottish Rite Auditorium. After visiting with the staff and booking space for the rehearsal and performance, they stepped out of the auditorium and noticed the Ramada Emily Morgan Hotel in the next block adjacent to the Alamo. Entering the hotel and visiting with the Sales Manager, they booked rooms for the all-state students during the clinic. Final arrangements were completed regarding the organization of the Association, including the adoption of the Constitution and By-Laws, region alignment, area alignment, audition procedures, color instrument taped audition procedures, selection of the Prescribed Music List for auditions for 1991-92, and the establishment of a quarterly Newsletter.

During the summer and fall of 1991, several meetings were held with the TMEA Executive Committee and officers to discuss: using TMEA region band auditions to certify ATSSB Area students (denied); using the state of Texas for ATSSB All-State Band patches (required no permission); and allowing students to audition for both TMEA and ATSSB at the Area level (it was decided that ATSSB would hold Area auditions on the same date as TMEA but in different locations). Since that summer and fall, continuing discussion with successive leaders in TMEA leadership has: allowed ATSSB All-State students access to TMEA exhibits and clinics for a fee which was dropped in 1999; allowed ATSSB meetings and All-State Band rehearsal schedules and concerts listings in TMEA programs; and given the ATSSB membership the opportunity to hear candidates for TMEA office. ATSSB and TMEA agreed to align their audition processes in 1999-2000, using identical rules and procedures for auditions, but allowing ATSSB to maintain the use of its own Prescribed Audition List and separate funding for all activities.

The ATSSB All-State Band
Since its inception, ATSSB has not only kept its ever-increasing number of members informed of small school band activities across the state, it has also sponsored the ATSSB All-State Band: The first ATSSB All-State Band met in rehearsals in San Antonio under the direction of Gary Lewis from the University of Michigan in February 1992. There were 123 students in the first band from at least 76 different A, AA and AAA high schools in Texas. There were initially 380 ATSSB members during the first year. In 1996, One student was recognized for making the ATSSB All-State Band for all four years and was given a $1000 scholarship for the achievement (the fund was started in April 1995 after a proposal by Wayne Smith as the ATSSB 4-Year All-State Band Scholarship – the three students who had made the ATSSB All-State Band all four years in 1995 were also awarded the $1000 scholarship retroactively). In 1997 the addition of a second all-state band for ATSSB: the Symphonic Band was led by Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser and the Concert Band was led by Dr. Gary Garner from West Texas State University. Additionally, the ATSSB State Board of Directors voted to award the $1000 scholarship to the original three students who had made the ATSSB All-State Band all four years. In 2003, the Scholarship program was expanded, increasing the 4-year scholarship to $2000 and adding a $500 scholarship to seniors who made all-state three years. In 2004 the ATSSB All-State Jazz Ensemble was added with Shelly Berg from the University of Southern California as the first clinician. In 2013, The band was divided by vote of the membership into the Concert Band (Class 1A-3A Track) and Symphonic Band (1A-4A Track) with color instruments divided among the band on an open track.

Video: Modern Warfare 2 Launches 11.10.09
Chris Kohler
SAN FRANCISCO — A surprise unveiling during the GDC awards show: Modern Warfare 2, the followup to 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, has been announced.
This teaser trailer was shown at Game Developers Conference Wednesday evening. Looks like the game's subtitle is now the full title, at least for now. Interesting that they seem to be dropping the Call of Duty monicker and spinning it out into a separate brand. Makes sense, when you consider it's Activision we're talking about here.
Modern Warfare 2 will be released November 10, 2009.
