SMCC C Grade 8 July 2012
Cora Lynn - Bayles - Modella - Longwarry - Tynong - Cora Lynn (x 2 laps for A,B & C - one lap for D and below)
17 entrants - Dist 97.2km Av Speed 35.2
Today's race was a little like Forrest Gump's 'box of chocolates' - you didn't really know what you were going to get.
It was advertised as Cora Lynn - Ripplebrook, but the map on the website didn't have us going anywhere near Ripplebrook.
In the end we did pretty much the course described on the map but without the section through Nar Nar Goon - Bayles (same as the CCCC flat handicap course - just with a different starting/finishing point).
Unfortunately, a lack of marshalling volunteers caused the Nar Nar Goon - Bayles section to be deleted and replaced with a second lap.
Boy it was as cold as the proverbial mother-in-laws kiss prior to the start, with a lot huddling in the sun near the bridge rather than the shade of the LHS of the road.
On the bright side it wasn't raining and it wasn't windy.
The C grade bunch got away to a fast start over the section to Bayles, but then slowed considerably on the section from there through Modella to nearly Longwarry. I consider that the road surface on this section is particularly heavy and doesn't lend itself to a high speed.
During the race, pretty much everybody did a turn at the front, but of course some did a lot more of the work than others - welcome to racing!
Probably about seven were the major contributors so it was still spread around.
In what has become an embarrassing trend, D Grade overtook us halfway around the first lap - we then overtook them on the rises after Longwarry only to have them pass us again heading back to Cora Lynn (as they were then winding up for the finish of their race).
At least they got our bunch moving and probably that section was where the most work was done.
The second lap was pretty controlled and surprisingly coming up towards Cora Lynn the bunch was still together - not a bad effort in view of the longer distance. We didn't have any crashes - not even any drama's that I can recall, which is always really nice to report.
An attack about 400 metres from the turn into the finishing straight at Cora Lynn saw Lee Lindsay break clear and in a really gutsy effort he held onto the line.
For those who don't know, from the turn at the Cora Lynn bridge the finishing line is still at least 500 metres away so the overall solo effort was close to a km with the bunch going 100% to catch him.
I'm always grateful to SMCC for putting on these events, and I couldn't help but marvel at the fact that I turn up at 8am (an hour before the start) and the signage is already in place. I'm begining to suspect that Bill sleeps in the van overnight.
I'll have to rely on somebody else to provide a race report next week as I'm off to the Pearl Fishers @ the Sydney Opera House next Sat night (wife's birthday).

Rocked by the death Wednesday of one of its members, the Hardin County farming community has rallied around a Cecilia family.
Those who worked and lived alongside Pat Owsley described him as a selfless and devoted family man who loved God, University of Kentucky athletics and farm life.
Kevin Mobley, Owsley's cousin, farmed with him and characterized him as an eternal optimist.
"On the worst day, he could spin a positive outlook on it," Mobley said. "He was a man of great faith. I think that's what made him a good farmer."

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State handed Nebraska its first Big Ten loss Saturday night, holding off the Huskers 25-20, 26-24, 20-25, 25-19.
The defeat ended NU's five-match win streak, a night after a tough five-set victory at No. 17 Michigan.
The seventh-ranked Spartans move to 17-1 and 6-0 in the conference, their best start since 1995. It was their second straight win over the Huskers, who fell to 12-3 and 5-1. NU had held an 11-0 edge in the series before last season.
"Michigan State just played better," NU coach John Cook said on his post-match radio show. "We couldn't get them out of system enough."
Cook said the Huskers could have disrupted the Spartan attack with tough serving. Instead, his young squad became tentative after some misses, totaling 10 service errors.
"We've got to learn how to use that as a weapon," Cook said of his team's serving.
Kelsey Robinson led the Huskers again, piling up 20 kills and 12 digs. Kadie Rolfzen also had a double-double with 13 kills and 10 digs.
Cook said Rolfzen did some good things and played a consistent match.
Her sister Amber Rolfzen sat out because of a hamstring issue. When asked about her after the match, Cook said: "She's fine."
Meghan Haggerty notched six kills. Mary Pollmiller handed out 42 assists and Cecilia Hall posted five blocks.
Nebraska hit .254 for the match, while Michigan State hit .288. The Huskers outdug the Spartans 52-47 and outblocked MSU 11.5-8.
After Michigan State won the first set, there were some fireworks in the second.
A kill by Robinson put NU ahead 21-20 before the Spartans rallied. NU couldn't convert on match point at 24-23.
Cook got his first red card for protesting a call during the set, costing Nebraska a point.
"That was totally uncalled for," he said.
The Huskers took a 17-8 lead in the third set before MSU rallied to within 23-20. This time, Nebraska was able to hold on to force another set.
Nebraska went up 7-6 in the fourth on a kill by Pollmiller, but couldn't keep the advantage.
The Huskers return home next weekend, hosting Indiana at 7 p.m. Friday and Purdue at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Devaney Center.
Nebraska (12-3, 5-1) ............................ 20 24 25 19
At Michigan State (17-1, 6-0) ............................ 25 26 20 25
NU (kills-aces-blocks): Ethridge 0-0-0, K. Rolfzen 13-0-3, Hall 4-0-5, Broekhuis 5-0-3, Pollmiller 3-1-3, Haggerty 6-0-4, Robinson 20-0-2, Hunter 0-0-0, Lyles 0-0-0, Wong-Orantes 0-1-0. Totals 51-2-11.5.

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide The American Legion's views on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Fiduciary Program. We testified on April 22, 2010 on this same program and while there have been some improvements; more still needs to be done.
VA oversees appointment and management of fiduciaries who act on the behalf of veterans/surviving spouse or dependent children referred to as "beneficiaries" who are deemed mentally incompetent and unable to manage their finances. Upon notification of incompetency, a VA Field Examiner will investigate the beneficiary's social, economic and industrial impairment then recommends appointment of a fiduciary. The VA Fiduciary is responsible for managing VA monetary benefits ensuring the beneficiary's just debts are paid. Other responsibilities include utilizing funds for daily needs such as food, clothing housing, medical expenses, and personal items of the beneficiary and his /her recognized dependents. The veteran should be able to live a lifestyle as any other person who is not within the Fiduciary program. The appointed Fiduciary is allowed to charge a fee of up to 4% of the VA benefits paid to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary is married, the spouse may receive payments on the beneficiary's behalf. Selection of a Fiduciary involves analysis of current credit report, disclosure of criminal background and consideration of the opinion of character witness(es).
In 2008, the Veterans Benefits Administration, which oversees VA's Fiduciary Program, established a Western Hub Fiduciary Hub pilot program in Salt Lake City, UT. Prior to the consolidation, VA Regional Offices (RO) were performing poorly in the average number of days to appoint a fiduciary and also with the average number of days for follow up visits. At the time of our testimony in 2010, the Western Hub Fiduciary average for initial days to appoint fiduciaries was 45 days and that number decreased to 38 days in FY 2011. However, the average number of days for follow up visits in 2010 was 120 days but in FY 2011 that number increased to 151 days.
After the Western Hub Fiduciary model became operational in 2010, VA began consolidation of other regions across the United States in Fiscal Year 2012. Those Hubs and locations include: Indianapolis, Milwaukee, WI; Louisville, KY; Lincoln, NE and Columbia, SC. VA is adding an additional 58 Field Examiners to their current number of 310. Unfortunately, these 58 additional personnel are being pulled from other areas of the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) such as Compensation (currently experiencing backlog). A total of 368 Field Examiners will be responsible for approximately 123,000 beneficiaries. Equally disturbing is that new Field Examiners training consists of two weeks formal training, an additional two weeks field training and then they are assigned a mentor for 60 days with 100 percent review for the following 90 days. Field Examiners do not work within the Regional Office or at the Hub but from-their homes. Moreover, Field Examiners are not required to provide contact information to beneficiaries. The assigned location of the Field Examiner is determined by population density of beneficiaries. This however, does not take into account the travel time in less populated states with larger geographical areas.
Previous Recommendations:
The following recommendations were presented at the time of our last testimony and here is an update on their progress:
Currently: VBA does not feel this is necessary with the implementation of an 800 number currently being tested which will be solely dedicated to Fiduciary issues. This 800 number will direct the caller to the Fiduciary Hub within the callers region or allow the caller to request assistance from another Hub outside the calling area. Until it becomes fully operational, callers are directed to call 1-800-827-1000. VBA changed their claims assistance toll free number (827-1000) from RO access and consolidated them into areas. Unfortunately, this has become an exercise in futility as the call centers are so busy the caller is asked to leave a number to be called back which more often than not does not happen. The American Legion continues to urge Congress to ensure VBA hires a Fiduciary Program Coordinator to work within each Regional Office to improve coordination between Fiduciary Hubs, ROs and Field Examiners.
Currently: The VBA Fiduciary program is in the progress of creating Fiduciary Screens within the current Veterans Benefits Management System for tracking status of Fiduciary claims. The software program is currently being written with a projected completion date of approximately two years. A target date for implementation of the program is not available at this time.
Veteran Personal Stories:
The importance of solving the issues associated with VA's Fiduciary programs can best be illustrated with the personal stories of some affected veterans. All too often, by simply looking at numbers, program projections and reports, we forget the human face of this problem. Because of the nature of the competency challenges involved for veterans requiring a Fiduciary, these are among our nation's most vulnerable veterans.
In August of 2011, the Western Area Fiduciary Hub was notified that a veteran was rated incompetent and a field examination for a fiduciary was required. The son of this veteran, already the court appointed Power of Attorney for this veteran, requested to be appointed fiduciary for this veteran, but this family request was not granted.
By late September, a Field Examiner completed an examination, and appointed an outside fiduciary for the veteran. However, two months later, in November, the veteran's local Regional Office released to the fiduciary in question a check for $385,966. As there had been no previous notification of any back payment, the fiduciary contacted VA for information about how to process this overlarge payment, and was informed she would need to obtain a surety bond to protect the funds and that the Field Examiner would have to contact her to complete a new budget for the veteran.
This situation is still being investigated, including the possibility that the veteran's son, who had initially sought to be appointed fiduciary as the veteran's Power of Attorney, may well wind up being finally designated as such. However, months have gone by and the veteran is unable to gain access to money that is rightfully his.
In another matter, a veteran applied for Pension benefits in 2009. In 2010, with a diagnosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy from private medical records, the veteran's claim was upgraded to a straight benefits claim under the presumptions inherent for Agent Orange related illness. Further medical evidence established, over the course of 2010, multiple related conditions dating back as far as 2007, as well as the need for specially adaptive housing amongst other concerns.
In a VA letter dated March 23, 2011 the entire estimated back pay was found to be $163,256 the entirety of which was withheld. Fully seven months later, in late October, the veteran received a decision letter stating:
"Review of your claims file shows the rating decision of March 22, 2011, proposed a finding of incompetency. It was noted in that decision there was a Delegation of Rights and responsibilities signed by you and your physician that you are not able of understanding your rights due to dementia due to Parkinson's disease, dated August 25, 2010. You were sent a VA letter dated March 23, 2011, informing you of our right to submit any evidence, information, or statement that will present your side of the case. To date, no response has been received from you. Since there is a definitive finding if incompetency by a physician in this case and you are not shown to be able to manage personal affairs to include disbursement of funds, we have determined you are incompetent for purposes of managing VA payments."
Ultimately, the veteran passed away awaiting appointment of his sister as fiduciary. During the entire process, his sister had been providing for his nursing care and doing so out of her own pocket.
These two examples provide insight into cases where close family members are already providing close care to these veterans, in some cases with court appointed POA authority, yet these veterans still must wait months and even years to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits. These benefits belong to these veterans, yet they can derive no use from them as they are held back beyond yards of red tape and miles of obstacles and delays. We cannot keep veterans from benefits belonging to them, and sadly these cases are not unique. American Legion service officers come across stories like these on a regular basis and have been all to eager to share these stories in the hopes that some good will come towards reforming this system.
It is worth reiterating that these are among our most vulnerable veterans. As the nation's veterans experience mental health trauma or diseases, they or their family members should not have to worry about receiving their earned benefits. While The American Legion recognizes VA's attempts to improve the situation, clearly there is still much work to be done. The Fiduciary Hubs may have shown some improvement in reduced timelines for a portion of the process, the phone banks for these centers still lack direct access for veterans' service officers, and the remote nature of these facilities adds an additional layer of remove from these increasingly vulnerable veterans. Furthermore the improvements to manpower for this task cannot come at the expense of manpower in the regular claims processing, as all are aware of the backlog struggles in that arena. The American Legion, through our network of service officers, is working hard to gain justice for these veterans as these difficult scenarios present themselves, but clearly this problem will not be solved overnight.
After a near-fatal auto accident I was ruled incompetant by a probate court. I was never told of the court action. Attorney fees were assessed to my estate in the amount of well over $30,000. The Veteran Administration was never notified, and my disability compensation contiued to be directly deposited, however I had no control of my bank account. The current processing time through the fiduciary system is well over 6 months. This process should be at the individual local hospital where the veteran is to be seeen and assessed.
I am a disabled Army Veteran, and Field Examiner for the VA Fiduciary program. I am offended at the way the Legion tries to demonize the Fiduciary program. The VA has a lot of issues and the fiduciary program does also. But as an examiner I take great pride in making sure veterans who are at risk of being taken advantage of are protected and able to have their benefit available to them. The fiduciary program is not responsible for the release of retro funds. Although the funds cannot be released until a suitable fiduciary is appointed the fiduciary hub does not release these funds. PMC or the VSC are responsible for funds release. Not all fiduciaries receive a 4% commission. First off family cannot receive commissions next often times this fee is negotiated down or not taken at all. And in comparison look at what local courts allow to be taken by conservators court fees can range into the thousands yearly.
Next you sighted 2 cases where a veteran did not receive their funds. What about the tens of thousands (and yes there are that many) where fiduciaries have helped vets get on their feet and improve their lives. I rarely appoint a professional fiduciary. My first choice is to appoint the veteran as his own payee, next spouse, then any and all family who are willing are considered, then as a last resort a third party. 90%+ of my fiduciaries are the veterans family. There are times when family cannot be appointed for various reasons (credit, criminal , inability to obtain a bond, or they just don't want the responsibility) In these cases unfortunately a third party has to be used. It should be noted that most cases of misuse of veterans funds and abuse are by family members including spouses. I screen fiduciary's based on the wants of the veteran (yes what the veteran wants is heavily considered) and the laws and regulations in placed by congress. Power of attorney has no screening process. Anyone can become one all it takes is a signed letter form the veteran, who may or may not be mentally compromised so basing appointment solely on power of attorney would be foolish.
In reference to your request that a fiduciary lives within 300 miles what about family members that don't live within that radius. This would force the veteran to have a professional appointed and a fee taken on his benefit simple because of geography. I think this is a foolish request and not well thought out.
The hubs have a 1-800 number available to all fiduciaries solely for the purpose of fiduciary business. They are not directed to the normal 827-1000 number unless it involves a claim.
The previous post involves the state appointing a conservator not he VA so it is not relevant to the fiduciary program.
The current time line for an initial appointment is 45 days and the Hubs are working hard at maintaining those times. but there are family members and disabled veterans schedules to deal with. follow up visits should be completed in 120 days of request. The ever increasing number of incompetent veterans (WWII and Korea veterans mostly who suffer from age related deceases) is straining the few Field Examiners the VA has. The extra examiners the Legion opposes are needed to make sure that our most vulnerable veterans are being cared for in a manner they deserve. The fiduciary program is not here to take away veterans money or make it so family cant care for their loved ones. It is however here to make sure these veterans are cared for and not taken advantage of.
As a disabled veteran I have had my battles with the VA and I don't always agree that they are doing their best. But publishing skewed or false information is not the right way to change things. I am sure I can drag up all kinds of accusations and stories of the legions mishandling of veterans.. The point is to work towards an end that ensures our veterans are cared for with dignity and respect. I appreciate the work the legion has done on behalf of our veterans and I hope they will continue to serve those that served.
If you are so offended by the way they framed this obvious taking of liberties and attack on veterans, then kindly respond to Mr. Dilber1.
As the child of a veteran, one who is receiving disability compensation benefit, I too had to be approved after filing a NOD upon receipt of the finding that my veteran parent was determined by the RO to be unfit to handle his VA benefits: I myself , after meeting all of the back ground requirements of the VA Fiduciary administrators, I was appointed my parents VA fiduciary; I qualified for the required bond (that cost is paid by the veteran, depending on veterans $ assets, that fee could be thousands of dollars per year for that one insurance premium, if anyone is are unaware.
As to myself being related to the beneficiary' I receive no compensation for this fiduciary service, but undertake 100% of the legal and financial responsibility.
I wish to raise some key issues, that of the VA RO raters and VA Fiduciary administrators placing incompetent veterans at risk, regarding their prepared estates, then the beneficiary of those estates (spouses and dependants) who are being placed in legal jeopardy too – that of probate court - which Is selective discrimination, punitive even, even if claimed to be in the interest of protecting the veteran and dependants.
Bank accounts titled "Representative Payee" set up by the appointed fiduciary on behalf of the veteran beneficiary, that Representative Payee could be a relative of the beneficiary, here is the rub: the veteran, who cannot transact on the bank account due to the incapacity finding of the VA, though the veteran is the legal owner of the bank accounts, that veteran CAN NOT SIGN A BENEFICARY FORM TO TRANFER HIS FUNDS TO HIS/HER BENEFICIARYS AFTER DEATH TO AVOID PROBATE COURT BEFORE THE VETERAN DIES – neither can the representative payee arrange on behalf of the veteran to fill out such bank beneficiary forms, if doing so rightly to appoint the veterans own preexisting trust .
Conflict of interest issues for non family representative payees put aside; what if the veteran has a preexisting living trust with will, what if the veteran had a durable power of attorney, what if the veteran had a medical care proxy, what if all of these legal instruments were in place before the veteran was disability rated by the VA RO, before the RO asked for the veteran to be deemed incompetent, and before the veteran was required to be assigned a "representative payee," one which could be a family member and perhaps an heir of the veteran's estate?
Here is the problem; the Social Security Administration reviewed and found they would accept the legal instruments which the my veteran parent had put in place prior to his VA RO rating and competency finding, the SSA respecting the durable power of attorney and medical proxy, even if the veteran was deemed incompetent for purposes of handling his financial affairs - by the VA RO purposes alone – the VA RO's finding should have no further legal impact on the veterans non VA legal and financial affairs – but it does!
I'm sure the Americans with Disability ACT, then all impacted veterans rated as being incompetent to handle their VA benefits due to service connected injuries or age related issues being one unavoidable consequence, the veteran finding themselves unable to assign a designated beneficiary only for these "representative payee" titled bank accounts owns, accounts which the veteran must deposit their VA benefits into by law, as those accounts – for reason which the bank and the VA fiduciary have been unable to fully explain to me, which will then require an attorney to explore, that cost paid for at the expense of the "incompetent veteran" just to enforce the veteran's prior trust arrangements which that veteran had made prior to being rated and receiving benefits from the VA - this is discrimination against veterans with disabilities and then disrespectful toward the dependants and beneficiaries of these impacted veteran's estates too . A veteran's VA benefits could be better used supplementing their care or assisting with other financial burdens like the upkeep of a home, clothing, food, medical care, or providing economic support for their qualified dependants.
With one key change by the VA RO's regarding the veterans competency finding, one from" incompetent" to "competent," that VA RO rated "competent" veteran can then appoint a beneficiary for any of their bank accounts, as that veteran avoids the need to use a "representative payee" titled bank account and then avoids both the legal and financial jeopardy it poses to their dependants and estate by not being able to assign a beneficiary to whom the bank can disburse the veteran's funds only to AFTER their DEATH, avoiding state probate and legal costs to settle the estate.
Can someone please respond to this discriminatory disparity placed on the disabled veteran by the VA RO and the VA fiduciary administrators?
Why does the VA suggest that veterans get life insurance policies then, that instrument has to have a beneficiary of record – but why are "representative payee" bank accounts ill eligible of having this same option? Clearly this is discriminating against this one veteran demographic group being labeled as "incompetent for purpose of handling their VA benefits alone," - the is VA imposing unnecessary legal costs on this one disabled class of veterans, their dependants and heirs, who are unable to protect VA benefits from being probated in state court.
If a representative payee purchases a CD for a incompetent veteran, and that veteran dies being unable to preselect a beneficiary for that CD upon death, the bank will close out the CD account, the veteran and his estate will LOOSE all of the occurred interests, that CD account and ALL other representative payee purchased and then titled accounts or instruments will have to then be probated – why?
Disabled veterans have a right to disburse there assets upon death and as directed by will and trust as they desire to, they must have the right to avoid probate for any of their estates assets before they die – without undue influence of the blind burecratic do-gooding of the VA, even if done in the name of serving disabled veterans and their dependants, as in this specific instance I describe.
My Mother was finally named as Fiduciary for my father on June 22 with back payments deposited on July 13. Unfortunately between the time of the interview and the processing my Mother was found to have colon cancer and passed away July 16 as a result of the surgery. Since July 24 I have been trying to be named as my father's Fiduciary since I have all other responsibilities for his finances. They actually stopped his payments after October 1 and as of 1/19/2013 still have not set up an interview for a Fiduciary. This process is so broken and has caused so much frustration, despair and anger on behalf of my father who can no longer speak up for himself. I am preparing a series of events to send to our representative so that he can possibly bring it up as well. The irony in all of this is the process the Social Security office uses is somewhat similar but it is so well documented that it took exactly the timeframe for each step to occur and it caused only a 15 day delay in his benefits being resumed after my Mother's death. It is through tears that I am writing this.
I was deemed incompetent with out having a hearing they lied about contacting my mother or friend to be payeee my payee puts her job before my needs the field supervisor talked to me aaasas if i was a child i also have back pay coming i can handle my affairs
My check came monday the payee cant dispurse my funds on time because she is at work why is that?
My Mom is the Fiduciary for my Father. It's better to have every thing spelled out befire you get in trouble. If you need a lawyer call my buddy who is the
best PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER Cypress TX
I am the fiduciary for my son a disabled veteran. Under the agreed plan he is to recieve $850 a month spending money. That being $25 a day. For a decade I accomplished this by withdrawing $300 at a time from his account using his ATM. Now the Fiduciary Hub is demanding evidence that I have given this money to my son and telling me that I cannot use his ATM to obtain that money.
If I can not withdraw money how can I pay him his daily allowance. Aside from being called a theif by the call center I am simply caught in a catch 22

Family Caregiver Alliance is very encouraged by the Obama Administration's recognition of family caregivers and the need for increased funding for the National Family Caregiver Support Program (Title IIIE of the Older Americans Act) and the Lifespan Respite program. We commend the Middle Class Task Force, headed by Vice President Joe Biden, for including family caregiver support as an initiative for the Fiscal Year 2011 budget, thus acknowledging the huge contributions caregivers make to providing long-term care to older adults and adults with disabilities.
The President's Fiscal Year 2011 budget includes a $48 million increase for the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP), a 30% increase for this program that has been level-funded at approximately $154.2 million for the past few years. It also includes a $2.5 million increase for the Lifespan Respite Care Act, a program that has only received one year of funding at $2.5 million. This "Caregiver Initiative" also includes a $50 million increase for home and community-based services offered under the Older Americans Act and a $2 million increase for Native American Caregiver Support.
Estimated to be over 44.4 million, family caregivers are the largest source of long-term care services in the United States. In 2009, more than three in ten U.S. households (31%) reported that at least one person served as an unpaid family caregiver in the previous 12 months. The economic value of the care provided by family caregivers totals $375 billion nationwide. Caregivers face compromised health, increased levels of depression, and depletion of financial resources.
The NFCSP and lifespan respite programs provide much-needed supports to family caregivers, including counseling and education, information and assistance, and a break from caregiving duties. It is critical that these services are available to all caregiving families so that they can remain healthy in their caregiving role, providing quality care to those who need it. Increased funding for the NFCSP, Lifespan Respite and other home and community-based support programs are important first steps in that direction.
Founded in 1977, Family Caregiver Alliance offers programs at national, state and local levels to support and sustain the important work of families and friends caring for loved ones with chronic, disabling health conditions. Call (800) 445-8106 for more information.

Sol LeWitt, Representation, and an Audience of One(Exhibition : 2008)
These atmospheric images are arranged four to a page. Here, LeWitt brings his concept of systems to even sunrises and sunsets, with similarities of composition and color uniting the images on the page. Taken from the vantage of a small town high on the Amalfi Coast, there is an atmospheric drama in these photographs that is lacking in his other books.
Sol LeWitt, Representation, and an Audience of One. -- Systematic networks of lines covering entire walls; geometric figures freestanding in the center of a gallery; complex instructions that require a team of artists to complete--these are often what first come to mind when considering Sol LeWitt. Yet there is also a portion of LeWitt's work aimed at an intimate audience of one--the artist's book. -- LeWitt recognized early the potential benefits in distributing artistic production through low cost publications: books offer permanence to the artistic moment that is lacking in a scheduled gallery setting; they can allow an artist deeper and more complete control of their presentation; their audience is at the same time more far reaching than an exhibition and yet very intimate to the individual viewer holding the object in his hand. As a founder in the early 1970s of Printed Matter, a bookstore devoted entirely to artists' books and their creation, he championed affordable books as an artistic vehicle, both for his peers and for himself. -- While the use of artist's books fit nicely with the qualities of his system-driven conceptual and minimal works, they also proved uniquely suited for his little known photographic work. Despite the representational element inherent in photography, LeWitt uses the nature of the book format to organize his images to reflect the seriality and systems that permeate his non-representational works. -- "The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is pleased to present this special installation of works from the Clark Library on the occasion of the opening of Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art." -- All of the works shown are from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Library.

What you need to know to make a sound decision about speakers.
Your computer gives you access to a world of music, videos, movies, and games. But in most cases, it doesn't give you the quality sound you need to really enjoy all that. If weak, tinny audio isn't your thing, you're going to need some new speakers. Read on to figure out what kind of system is right for you.
Good sound all around
Most speakers systems are designed to sound their best when you're sitting right in front of them. Our speakers with 360-degree sound, on the other hand, have forward- and backward-facing speakers. So you can get up and move around—even dance a little—and your music will sound great everywhere.
Portable pals
Craving better sound you can move around with? Portable notebook speakers are compact and lightweight enough to tag along with you and your notebook wherever you go.
Surrounded by sound
If you want to get sucked into your entertainment, a 5.1 surround sound system is just what you're looking for. Two front satellites, a center channel speaker, two back satellites, and a subwoofer immerse you in your games, movies, and music—putting you smack dab in the middle of the action.
Virtual surround sound recreates that experience in a 2.1 speaker system. It's easier to set up and takes up less space. Sound good?
Bring on the bass
Bring on the bassA subwoofer shakes some life into your movies, music, and games by adding in deep bass. To get everything from a little boom to a house-shaking rumble, you're going to want a 2.1 speaker system—that's two satellites and a subwoofer.

The Adriana Family is known for a rugged, vintage feel, but Elise is breaking the mold with a solid swing toe last, rubber sole and a 2" leather wrapped heel. It hides its raw quality underneath a respectable last of soft, perforated nubuck and feminine scalloped edges. The Elise may be more refined than the rest of the family but even though it looks dainty, it can hold its own in the face of hard work. A thankful person is a happy person.

ALBUQUERQUE – As upset-minded as the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team might have been heading into Friday night's game, the St. Pius X Sartans were not to be denied. The Sartans methodically drove to the basket and pounded the ball in down low to take control of Friday's Class 4A state championship first round game early. The Hilltoppers took the air out of the ball in the second quarter to try to keep the contest close, but the second half was all St. Pius. St. Pius' defense and rebounding closed the door on any hopes the Hilltoppers might have had of knocking off the Sartans and advancing in the state tournament in the third quarter. St. Pius dominated the boards on both ends, putting in several second chances in the third quarter en route to a 59-31 victory. This was the second meeting between the two teams this year and both ended with a similar result. St. Pius won handily in January, topping Los Alamos by 24 points. Hilltopper head coach Ann Stewart, who has guided Los Alamos to the playoffs in both years she's led the team, said afterward Los Alamos needed to win the battle for rebounds and keep St. Pius from setting itself up with easy buckets. Unfortunately, the Hilltoppers were able to do neither Friday night.

What exactly are we celebrating today?
Presidents Day? Presidents' Day? President's Day? Wandering Apostrophe Day?
And whom exactly does it honor?
Is it just one president (Washington)? Or two (Washington and Lincoln)? Or the whole lot (including Warren G. Harding)? The apostrophe's placement, assuming an apostrophe is used, depends on whether we're celebrating more than one president today, right?
Officials should have the official word.
The California Senate observes "President's Day," while the state Employment Development Department celebrates "Presidents' Day." And the state Board of Equalization? You guessed it: "Presidents Day."
So, what do they say at the top of U.S. officialdom – the federal government? In the eyes of Uncle Sam, the answer is — none of the above.
Today's federal holiday is officially called "Washington's Birthday."
It was signed into law in 1879, to be observed annually on Feb. 22, Washington's birthday. In 1968, with the passage of Public Law 90-363, Congress moved it to the third Monday of February but retained the name "Washington's Birthday."
"This holiday is designated as 'Washington's Birthday' in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees," intones the "Federal Holidays" Web page of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, official keeper of federal employee holiday entitlements. "Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law."
A holiday guide, Holidays, Festivals and Celebrations of the World Dictionary, offers further explanation:
"The passage of Public Law 90-363 in 1968, also known as the 'Monday Holiday Law,' changed the observance of Washington's Birthday from February 22 to the third Monday in February. Because it occurs so soon after Lincoln's Birthday, many states — such as Hawaii, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Wyoming — combine the two holidays and call it Presidents' Day or Washington-Lincoln Day. Some regard it as a day to honor all former presidents of the United States."
So while some jurisdictions may call it Presidents Day (with or without an apostrophe on either side of the "s"), it is devoted solely to George Washington in its role as an official federal holiday.
Menlo Park's City Hall will be closed today to observe it, as will schools in the Menlo Park City School District. Schools in the Las Lomitas Elementary School District will also be closed. They also get tomorrow off for "Lincoln's Day."
But lest you feel George's birthday is getting unfair preferential treatment, consider this: since the holiday was moved to the third Monday of the month, it can never fall on his birthday.
