Only a small percentage of horses win their first start, but that doesn't mean that maiden voyage around a racetrack should be ignored. More often than not, there are important signals about a horse's ability wrapped into that debut – though sometimes you have to peel away some layers to find it.
Keening seemed like a run of the mill maiden when she made her career debut on May 12 at Churchill Downs in a six-furlong sprint. She was sent off at 12-1 odds and was seventh at every call – including the finish – in a field of eight.
There's not much like to there, right?
Well, what happened after Keening's initial start was indeed noteworthy and more beneficial to handicappers than what took place in her bland debut.
Just 11 days after that poor start, she rebounded to record a quick 47 2/5-seconds work at Keeneland that was the fastest of 19 horses who worked on that day at the distance. She even followed that up promising work with a fast 48 seconds blowout on June 1.
Next she was entered in a mile maiden special weight race on June 16 at Churchill Downs, which was intriguing because of her breeding. As a daughter of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, it made sense that she would want more distance than six furlongs.
Putting it all together, the fast workouts after her career debut and a longer distance for her second start that suited her pedigree indicated Keening's initial start was just batting practice and she would be swinging for the fences next time.
Those that picked up on those hints collected on their wagers when a far more formidable Keening took the lead at the start, relinquished it briefly in the stretch, and then rallied to win by half-length at 7-1 odds.
THE LESSON: In judging a horse's debut performance, there are times when what happens after that start is more important than what happened in the race itself.

Bimini Aside
Jordan, who has spent many days fishing Bahamian waters as a private captain, suggested we run across the bank to the Gingerbreads, about 30 miles northwest of the northern tip of Bimini. This region features coral heads that apparently resemble confectionary creations - hence the name. The reef edge drops precipitously from about 120 to 600 feet.
We moved off the edge and started deep-dropping squid and chunks of houndfish in 350 feet of water, using multiple-hook dropper rigs and Lindgren-Pitman electric reels. At the telltale bob of the rod tip, we'd hit the switch and haul up one or multiple black snapper - a popular Caribbean snapper that grows to about 25 inches and 7 pounds.
In truth, we were really biding time until the right tide to troll for wahoo. But we also hoped to keep a few fillets. Because we fished these waters in 2006, our catch fell under pre-2007 regulations. Beginning January 1, the Bahamas restricted anglers to only 20 pounds of snapper and/or grouper per boat at any time.
Had we fished this year, we could not ethically have chosen to leave the snapper grounds to troll the reef edge - in 50 to 60 feet of water - for grouper. Given the option at the time, though, we moved in shallow.
Jordan let out 700 feet of wire from the two electric reels. He had baited the lines with skirted, 12-ounce jap feathers tied to 100 feet of 400-pound mono and then to a 2-foot wire leader. The long mono allows him to better work with rocked fish. If a grouper finds a coral head, Jordan can back down on the fish, wrap the mono hand-over-hand and pull out the fish.
On the troll, Jordan says he has caught black grouper to 100 pounds, yellowfin grouper to 15 and a few tiger grouper. However, a few snags and one hungry 'cuda later, and that wahoo tide looked just about right.
Crank It Up
Jordan prefers fishing wahoo during the last hour of the incoming tide through the first half-hour of the outgoing tide - a fairly narrow window. The incoming tide pushes bait and cleaner water onto the reef. The bait balls up in pockets, and the wahoo find them.
Moving to a depth of 260 feet, Jordan set out a spread of Ilander lures on five rods - the same outfits and baits we'd prep for our Cay Sal leg.
? Shotgun rod fished 300 feet back; 80-pound mono on a 9/0 Duel and straight-butt Calstar rod.
? Wire-line rods port and starboard, 100 and 125 feet back. (Any farther back and it snags the mono.) Lindgren-Pitman electric reels, spooled with 130-pound wire, on Calstar bent-butt rods.
? Mono outfits port and starboard, 180 and 240 feet back. Tiagra 80s, with 80-pound mono, on Calstar bent-butt rods.
Wahoo bite best a few days before a cold front and again a few days after, Jordan says. With a high or rising barometer, wahoo become more finicky, choosing baits fished on the mono lines. When the bite heats up, they prefer the wire, even up short in the prop wash. During the last of the incoming, Jordan says, the first fish usually hits the shotgun rod and then moves up to the wires.

Starving the Beast: Cut, Cap and Balance
by Main Street Insider, Mon Jul 18, 2011 at 11:58:27 AM EDT
The debt limit is a largely symbolic check on excessive borrowing which in the past has been frequently raised with little to no controversy. Such periodic increases are necessary to keep the government running and paying its bills, regardless of ideology.
However, Congressional Republicans are now demanding that certain conditions must be met in order to win their approval of a debt ceiling increase. They have termed their list of demands Cut, Cap and Balance, and claim it is a necessary measure in order to keep the government debt from spiraling out of control, and thus keep the country functioning.
Yet the Cut, Cap and Balance Act scheduled to reach the House floor this week is anything but necessary to keep the country functioning. Rather, it is the crown jewel, the final step of conservatives' long-pursued "Starve the Beast" strategy to downsize government. It would radically limit the flexibility of the federal government to provide a social safety net, buttress the economy in tough times and respond to great national challenges, now and into the future.
But don't take my word for it. Check out this week's 90 Second Summary and decide for yourself:

Early-season losses to BYU and Ole Miss were starting to have a negative effect on recruiting for the Texas Longhorns, but a six-game winning streak that has the Horns right in the middle of the Big 12 title race has helped lure multiple five-star prospects to Austin for Saturday's crucial match up with the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
After visiting Texas A&M, Florida, and Ole Miss on official visits this fall, Lewisville (Texas) Hebron safety Jamal Adams, a five-star prospect, is finally set to take his fourth official visit to Texas. Once thought to be a Texas lean, the connection between Adams' father and Gator recruiting coordinator Joker Phillips propelled Florida to a big summer lead in the Crystal Ball projections for Adams, which now sit almost evenly split between the two schools.
Interested in early playing time, the depth chart at Florida is still more favorable than Texas, but the on-field struggles this season that have raised questions about the future of head coach Will Muschamp and the accompanying surge by the Longhorns have led many to believe that a shift in Adams' recruitment has taken place in favor of the Horns.
The other talented defensive back set to take an official visit is five-star cornerback Tony Brown of Beaumont (Texas) Ozen. Brown's sister is a track star headed to LSU, so the longtime perception has been that Brown will follow her, as the Tigers sit at a cool 98% of analyst predictions for his eventual destination. This fall, the 6'0, 190-pounder who is a track star in his own right has visited LSU, Texas A&M, Ohio State, and Alabama.
The most high-profile visitor, however, is probably New Orleans (La.) St. Augustine running back Leonard Fournette, the nation's No. 2 prospect in the 247Sports Composite rankings and a player so highly-considered that 247Sports rates him 101. A summer visitor to Austin as well, the Longhorns are still thought to be on the outside looking in on his recruitment, which is expected to end with a commitment to home-state LSU, with Alabama also in the mix, both schools the powerful 6'1, 225-pound back has already visited this fall.
Working in favor of the Longhorns is the fact that two teammates, cornerback Jermaine Roberts and defensive tackle Courtney Garnett, are currently committed to Texas in the 2014 class.
There will also be a number of committed prospects in both the 2014 and 2015 classes expected to be in attendance, as well as several top 2015 recruits.

Queen's researchers locate impulse control centre in the brain
Impulsive behaviour can be improved with training and the improvement is marked by specific brain changes, according to a new Queen's University study.
A research team led by neuroscience PhD student Scott Hayton has pinpointed the area of the brain that controls impulsive behavior and the mechanisms that affect how impulsive behavior is learned. The findings could have a significant impact on the diagnosis and treatment of several disorders and addictions, including ADHD and alcoholism.
"In the classroom, kids often blurt out answers before they raise their hand. With time, they learn to hold their tongue and put up their hand until the teacher calls them. We wanted to know how this type of learning occurs in the brain," says Mr. Hayton, a PhD student at the Centre for Neuroscience Studies at Queen's. "Our research basically told us where the memory for this type of inhibition is in the brain, and how it is encoded."
The team trained rats to control impulsive responses until a signal was presented. Electrical signals between cells in the brain's frontal lobe grew stronger as they learned to control their impulses. This showed that impulsivity is represented, in a specific brain region, by a change in communication between neurons.
Impulsivity is often thought of as a personality trait, something that makes one person different from another.
Children who have difficulty learning to control a response often have behavioral problems which continue into adulthood, says Professor Cella Olmstead, the principal investigator on the study. She notes that impulsivity is a primary feature of many disorders including addiction, ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder and gambling. Identifying the brain region and mechanism that controls impulsivity is a critical step in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
"In conditions where learning does not occur properly, it is possible that it is this mechanism that has been impaired," adds co-investigator neuroscience Professor Eric Dumont.
The findings were recently published in The Journal of Neuroscience.

Tim Anderson went to work for Columbias FN Manufacturing, a Belgian firm that produces assault rifles and machine guns for the U.S. military, a decade ago.
Now, the 42-year-old husband and father of three from Cayce watches the news each night with an increasing sense of dread that automatic cuts to the nations defense budget, set to take hold Friday, will dry up FN Manufacturings orders and put him out of work.
This is my survival, Anderson said as he drilled rifle barrels last week at the Old Clemson Road plant in Northeast Richland. I have to take care of my family, put my kids through college. And this is jeopardizing my job.
The military faces $500 billion in across-the-board cuts over the next 10 years unless Congress and the president can find an alternative. Those cuts, called the sequester, are part of $1.2 trillion in cuts half to the military, half to domestic spending mandated after last Augusts debt-ceiling debacle. Those cuts come on top of $487 billion in reductions already targeted for the Pentagon together equaling about 18 percent of the 2012 defense budget.
Thats a scary figure in South Carolina, where eight bases and thousands of defense contractors pump $16 billion into the economy each year.
Although the exact fallout of the cuts is hard to pin down, they could cost the state more than 13,000 jobs and $807 million in annual payroll just from its nearly 4,000 defense contractors, according to a conservative, pro-military think tank. Those firms provide everything from toilet paper and salad greens for recruits at Fort Jackson and Parris Island, to armored vehicles built in Ladson to keep soldiers safe from roadside bombs in Afghanistan.
Already, FN Manufacturing has dropped to 500 workers from 785 in 2008, at the height of Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Many of its remaining jobs were saved because the company has transitioned to doing more non-military business, such as making pistols for law enforcement. Those lines make up 40 percent of the companys business today compared to 5 percent 10 years ago.
This business is cyclical, said Ralph Young, the companys vice president of human resources. You have to diversify.
Its going to be traumatic
More immediately, the cuts could trigger furloughs for the states 11,348 civilian workers who work for the military unpaid days off totaling about 20 percent of their salary that will have to be taken by the end of this year. Those workers serve in myriad positions from on-base schools and hospitals, to programs that help returning soldiers deal with post-traumatic stress disorder and find jobs.
Fort Jackson has 3,500 civilian workers, who are paid $51 million annually. The furlough represents $10.2 million that those workers wont spend this year on gas, food, entertainment and other commodities. Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter employs another 1,340 civilian workers with a payroll of $59 million. A furlough could cost its local economy nearly $12 million this year.
The cuts are going to affect the civilian workforce and that is going to affect the economy and the community, said George Goldsmith, a retired two-star general who is chairman of the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerces military affairs committee. Its going to be traumatic.
State officials, military leaders and defense experts say the numbers are a moving target. Beyond the furloughs, few know what the outcome for the local economy is going to be.
The estimates change from day to day, said Christine Brim, spokeswoman for the conservative think tank For The Common Defense, which made the job-loss predictions for South Carolina using defense contract data from 2011. Its all in flux.
While the S.C. Board of Economic Advisors said it cant provide or confirm any specific data about the cuts, it has lowered its estimate of how much personal income will grow in the state to 3 percent this year from 3.5 percent in anticipation of the sequester. Chief economist Frank Rainwater expressed frustration that is seemingly universal among military, economic, political and business leaders: No one seems to know exactly where the ax will fall hardest and how deep the blow.
Were just waiting, he said.
Leaving a hollow force
One thing is certain: If the sequester kicks in, the military will be shaken from the top brass to the lowliest grunt, leaving it, according to outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, a hollow force,
In a Defense Department memo to base commanders, Pentagon officials have laid out possible measures to save money. They include, among dozens of other suggestions:
• Laying off temporary and contract workers
• Cutting maintenance on ships and military hardware
• Delaying research and defense contracts
• Cutting flying hours for military pilots
• Cancelling air shows and military flyovers
• Reducing operating budgets for bases by 30 percent
• Removing nearly 10,000 military personnel over the next five years
• Slowing production of new weapons systems like the F-35 fighter jet.
For South Carolina, cancellation of the F-35 could have a big impact. Sumters Shaw and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort both are slated to receive the new planes. If they dont, that could impact the bases scoring in a new round of base closures and realignment, called BRAC, which some experts think could occur as soon as 2015.
That is a concern, said William Dutch Holland, a retired two-star Air Force general and former commander of the Shaw-based 9th Air Force, who now is executive coordinator of the S.C. Military Base Task Force, charged with protecting the states bases. I dont see how they can make these cuts and not call for another round of BRAC.
It scares me to death
Because Fort Jackson is the nations largest training base, turning out about 50,000 soldiers each year, base commander Brig. Gen. Bryan T. Roberts said the Columbia facility might be less affected than other installations. Current building projects, such as new barracks, classrooms and mess halls, should continue. But future building projects might be delayed, he said. Also, maintenance, operations and other on-base functions could be trimmed.
Were taking prudent measures, he said. Were conducting some what if drills.
But the full extent of the cuts hasnt yet been outlined by Fort Jacksons commanders at the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command in Virginia or the Pentagon.
There are a lot of rumors out there, Roberts said.
Paul Paterson, vice president of operations for the U.S. Patriot store outside the gates of Fort Jackson and eight other stores near East Coast military bases, has heard the rumors.
The store sells military-approved apparel like boots and uniforms, sunglasses and military insignia. The store was teeming with new soldiers and their families after Thursdays Fort Jackson graduation.
A retired command sergeant major, Paterson said the store is changing its stock somewhat to offset any drop in military business. It is marketing more to law enforcement, and has started carrying more dehydrated foods and survival gear for people preparing for disasters or the end of the world.
That Mayan calendar thing was great for us, he said. I have to flex.
But for FN Manufacturing employee Doug Fisher, 52, of Lugoff, the ability to flex is limited.
Fisher began working for the gun manufacturer at age 18, when the plant first opened, rising from basic machinist to setup specialist today. In that job, he makes sure all of the sophisticated weapons are working properly.
Fisher said he has never had another job. And if he was laid off, he isnt certain that he could get another one with the same good wages and benefits that he has now.
It scares me to death, he said.

A pacy defender with excellent aerial ability and terrific ball control given his towering 6ft 4in frame, Gary Pallister formed half of arguably the greatest central defensive partnership the club has known.
With Steve Bruce by his side 'Dolly and Daisy', as they were affectionately dubbed, saw off all comers to United's 18-yard box in a glorious seven-season stint together.
Their rock-like presence yielded three Premiership titles (1993, 1994, 1996), two runners-up spots, the 1991 European Cup-Winner's Cup and Super Cup, three FA Cups (1990, 1994, 1996) and the League Cup of 1992.
Born on the Kent coast in Ramsgate in June 1965, Pallister started his career with non-league Billingham Town and joined the Reds from his boyhood heroes Middlesbrough for £2.3 million in August 1989 – then a record fee for a British defender.
Given a weight-training regime to bulk his skinny body up, the 13th-placed finish of his first season – virtually impossible to conceive of now – was followed by a remarkable run in which United finished outside the top two just once in the next eight campaigns.
An imposing backline, in which Pallister was a permanent

ESCR-Net Caselaw Database: A database of ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS related jurisprudence, cases and other decisions
WELCOME TO THE ESCR-NET CASELAW DATABASE, a collaborative project developed under the leadership of the Steering Committee Members, our Academic partners, and many groups and individuals working to advance economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) throughout the world. The Caselaw database makes ESCR-related pleadings, commentary and decisions available to a wide audience of ESCR activists and defenders from a range of countries, legal traditions and languages (Spanish and English). In doing so, it serves to facilitate the exchange of information and strategies, disseminate tools for a rights-based approach to social injustice, encourage discussion of crucial challenges for ESCR advocacy, and inspire joint projects.
Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, if you are interested in getting involved in this project. The database is a work in progress and we hope to develop it further with the involvement of interested ESCR advocates and organizations.
We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to all the advocates, researchers and rights claimants who contributed to the creation of this database.

Making Macaroons Recipes
Mulberry Pavlova with Black Corinth Grapes
Pavlova is an easy dessert that consists of a meringue base coated with whipped cream and topped with fresh fruit. I used what's in season and flavored the dessert with freshly-picked black mulberries from our garden and garnished it with black Corinth grapes. For a nice contrast in color and flavor, I decorated it with crushed pistachios and toasted coconut flakes.
You can prepare the meringue way in advance and assemble the dessert at the last minute. I prepared the base in the morning and later in the day, I sent the girls to get messy and pick the gorgeous mulberries. Once they were slightly crushed, a delightful, naturally slightly thick syrup oozed out. With just a little assembly, the dessert was ready to be served right away.
My second cookbook, Banh Mi, is officially out! You can find it on Amazon or in any Barnes and Noble store. Thanks so much for your support!

Coconut Macaroon Pie Recipe
This week has gone by so fast, I can't believe it's already Dessert Friday! To celebrate the end of school (and finals) and to reward the girls for their hard work, I decided to bake a pie.
The girls love coconut macaroons, so I decided to prepare a coconut macaroon pie. I made the filling with sweetened shredded coconut flakes and sweetened condensed milk. I served the pie with coconut flavored whipped cream, but I think coconut ice cream would have been even better!

Chocolate Coconut Macaroons (Rochers Coco Recipe)
Coconut macaroons (called "rochers coco" in French) are another dessert that I bake very often. When I have extra egg whites from pudding, custard, crème caramel or crème brulée, I always whip up a batch. The macaroons I've tasted in America are generally more crumbly and denser than the ones from France. I make mine with a coating of condensed milk, which enhances the flavor and alters the texture.
I also covered the coconut cookies with dark chocolate for a fancier look. Check back tomorrow to see how I used the cookies in a decadent dessert that is perfect for Mother's Day.

A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a cab driver just after midnight Saturday.
Police said they located Ricardo Ramirez a short distance away from the scene. Ramirez was arrested and booked into jail on one count of first-degree homicide.
The victim was identified as William Bishop, 57, of Tempe.
Bishop was waiting for fares at the park and ride station at Sycamore and Main in Mesa, officers said.
Bishop was using the restroom when he was stabbed multiple times in his back and face, police said. Bishop later died at the hospital.
Witnesses said before the stabbing occurred, they heard Ramirez saying we was working for Satan and was there to collect souls and people for his "team against Jesus," police investigators said.
After the stabbing, witnesses saw a man at 1919 W. Main St. taking off a blood stained shirt. The man was detained and two witnesses identified him as the suspect.
An officer on scene heard Ramirez make a statement that the victim's blood "tasted good, like gravy you humans put on stuff."
Police said Rodriguez admitted to drinking at a party and said he blacked out on the walk home. Ramirez claimed the next thing he remembered was being arrested.

Justin Bieber says his raucous house party was "some Great Gatsby s—"
Justin Bieber threw a rager on Friday night at his house, where such fun was had that guests had to sign a $3 million nondisclosure agreement before proceeding to party. It sounds like the red tape was wise: Neighbors called the cops on the party three times in the wee hours of the morning because of the noise, according to TMZ.
So does Justin feel bad about disturbing his neighbors' sleep to entertain Snoop Lion and his other guests? Hardly — in fact, he feels epic. "You should have been there," he told a TMZ reporter. "It was some Great Gatsby s—."
I am unexpectedly charmed by this image. Bieber, a pipe in his hand, his pants drooping around his butt, sighing into the night as his party rages on behind him. Yes, it's wonderful to smoke weed with Snoop Lion, but what does it mean if Daiselena Buchanan Gomez does not leave her industrialist husband and return to him? Somewhere off in the dark, he thinks he can see the light of her iPhone screen as she tweets.
Maybe I will start using literature to make my minor misbehaviors sound sophisticated. Melinda, were you rude to your school friends? "That was some Hamlet s—." Melinda, why are you grumpy around the holidays? "That's some Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol' s—." Melinda, did you shoot that guy in the head? "That's some 'Of Mice and Men' s—."

Get Started|Teaching Method|The Curriculum|Competitions
Our dance curriculum covers the full range of American, Latin-American, International and Exhibition/Theater Arts style of dancing.
The Fred Astaire curriculum is the most fully documented bank of dancing knowledge available in the world.
Originally inspired by Mr. Astaire's superb style of dancing, current world famous dance champions and registered judges on the Fred Astaire Dance Board constantly study and review our curriculum to make sure that only the finest, up-to-date programs are offered to our students.
We offer 3 dance programs including, Basic, Social Foundation and Trophy. To learn about each program, please scroll down or jump into any section from the links below.
Basic|Social Foundation|Trophy |Awards|Dance Styles
All beginner students start their lessons with a basic package designed for the novice dancer.
Basic elements in the common, popular social dances are introduced in order to determine a student's learning rate and style, retention level, interests and goals.
Students generally try to get through this initial awkward level as quickly as possible and at least into the Social Foundation level where they will begin to feel more comfortable.
A socially comfortable level, the Social Foundation Program is an individually planned and personalized dance program.
The student is introduced to a handful of step patterns and basic techniques of lead and follow, musical timing and blending, which allow them to have fun and hold their own in many social dance situations.
The Fred Astaire Trophy Programs is a unique method of dance and teaching instruction. It's an easy way for our students to track their progress while they enjoy dancing! Our Social and Advanced Foundation Programs teach beginner students the step patterns and techniques to move comfortably on the dance floor with any partner.
Providing structure while allowing for individual goals and interests, the Fred Astaire Trophy System is an exciting way for our students to gauge their progress in receiving the benefits from the investment they have made.
Depending upon the particular program and the progress to various levels of accomplishment, our students earn a coveted Fred Astaire Dance Studio Trophy, awarded at a Trophy Ball held semi-annually.
From there, a student can progress through our Bronze and Silver levels – all the way to the Gold and Supreme Gold!
To learn more about our Trophy Programs scroll down or jump into any section from the links below.
Bronze Trophy|Silver Trophy|Gold Trophy|Supreme Gold Trophy
The Bronze Trophy level is for you if you want to become a confident, master social dancer. It is the most popular standard for our students, and the first Trophy Program available to new students.
As a Bronze dancer you are considered fun to dance with because you know enough different dances and patterns to be able to cope with almost any dance situation.
At the Bronze level you are introduced to and eventually master the technique and style that makes each dance look and feel the way it should on the dance floor.
The Silver Program is for the person who wishes to become an expressive, polished dancer distinguished by versatility and style in all the popular social dances.
Silver dancers stand out on the floor but not just because of the intricate steps they can do. It's their confidence and poise, the way they carry themselves, their ability to maneuver in a crowd and the fact that they don't appear to be thinking, but can laugh and talk while they dance!
The Gold Program is for the person who wishes to become an excellent ballroom dancer. Gold dancers have the ability to convey emotion through dance, not only to their partners but to others who are watching them.
The Gold level dancer is an outstanding ballroom dancer. It is the highest level an amateur dancer can achieve. To a non-dancer, the Gold dancer may be mistaken for a professional because they have developed the poise and polish that comes with a complete and thorough knowledge of all the major ballroom dances.
Advanced style and poise in all of the ballroom dances sets the Gold dancer apart from all others.
The Supreme Gold Trophy Program is a further extension of the Gold Trophy Program, and is designed for the person who wishes to become an outstanding ballroom dancer.
As its name implies, the Supreme Gold standard is the ultimate in dance movement.
Once student becomes a part of our Trophy Program they qualify for our unique awards in 4 categories: Qualification, Standard, Honors, and Double Honors.
To learn more about our Trophy Programs scroll down or jump into any section from the links below.
Qualification|Standard|Honors|Double Honors
The "Qualification Award" is presented to students with a minimum amount of time/interest. This award requires no solo technical knowledge (4 to 9 dances of choice performed at a competent level)
The "Standard Award" is presented to students who want to become good dancers. This award requires a partial solo technical knowledge of most of the popular dances (6 to 9 dances of choice performed at a competent level)
The "Honors Award" is presented to students who want to have a thorough technical knowledge of all the popular dances. This award requires a complete understanding of all the material and solo demonstration of all the steps in each dance (10 dances in the Social Bronze and 13 dances in Advanced Bronze).
The "Double Honors Award" is presented to students who want to be trained to teach and develop their own dancing to the highest degree possible.
The counterpart of all dances in each standard must be studied. The Double Honor Program is presented in the Bronze, Silver and Gold standard.
Students select from one of 4 Main Dance Styles to develop their mastery of dance. You can learn about each dance style by reading about it below to help you choose your area of interest.
Please scroll down or jump into any section from the links below.
American|International|Exhibition|Theater Arts/Cabaret
From the time of the Castle Walk and the Charleston, through the jazz era with the Boogie Woogie and Swing, and by the adoption of Latin rhythms, such as the Rumba and Cha Cha, the United States has developed a style of social dancing unique in the world today.
The American Style of dancing, as adapted and refined by the Fred Astaire Dance Studios, enables its adherents to dance comfortably at any social function, on every dance floor, to the greatest variety of rhythms, with any partner.
The American Style syllabus of the Fred Astaire Dance Studios offers a variety of social dance programs from beginner to professional levels and includes the Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba, Mambo/Salsa, Merengue, Eastern Swing, Western Swing, Bolero and Paso Doble.
Although it is a more standardized form of dancing, International Style shares similar dances and techniques with American style. It is becoming more popular in this country but is used in the US primarily in competitions.
The dances include the Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Quickstep, Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba, Paso Doble and Jive.
Exhibition dancing is an exciting form of choreographed ballroom dancing, where movements and lines of a theatrical nature are used to enhance the atmosphere of a dance.
Students who undertake the study of Exhibition Ballroom dancing derive much pleasure from the preparation of specialized dance material used to choreograph routines in the dances of their choice.
This exciting course was developed by the Fred Astaire Dance Studios many years ago to offer the creative dancer an opportunity to express individual choreography in conjunction with the standardized ballroom dances, thus ever insuring fresh and innovative interpretations of the common dances.
The dramatic movements of lifts and drops and techniques drawn largely from Ballet, Modern Dance and Jazz were carefully selected for appropriate adaption to ballroom dancing. The elements taught are used within the framework of any dance to bring a new dimension to the art of ballroom dancing.

Fourth-round pick McKnight signs with Jets

Jets CB Darrelle Revis, who skipped a voluntary OTA session last week, said he will attend the team's mandatory minicamp June 14-16.
Jets sign rookie FB Conner
The Jets signed fifth-round pick FB John Conner to a four-year deal, according to a New York Daily News report.
Report: Jets CB Revis skips OTAs
CB Darrelle Revis is said to be in negotiations with the Jets about a new contract, and he's apparently staying away from voluntary OTAs to show how unhappy he is with his contract situation.
Jets could look to add competition for PK Folk
The Jets' roster is short on glaring holes, but placekicker could turn out to be a major headache for the club if Nick Folk can't regain the form that led him to the Pro Bowl after the 2007 season.
'Hard Knocks' effect: Will Jets be distracted?
As some of you know, I have gone a bit against the tide on the Jets this offseason. And I am wondering if they need the distraction of "Hard Knocks" heading into the season.
Recovering Jets NT Jenkins working on dropping weight
Just six months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL, Jets NT Kris Jenkins is hoping to return the field for a mandatory June minicamp, which would be a surprisingly quick recovery.

Ducasse a value, need-based pick for Jets
The Jets found a luxury in the first round when they added CB Kyle Wilson to an already talented CB corps. They opted to fill a need with their second choice.
Jets bolster an already top-notch CB corps with Wilson
A rich defensive backfield went to the bank again on Thursday, as the Jets deposited Boise State CB Kyle Wilson with the 29th overall pick.
Wilkerson suffered a concussion and injured a knee during the team's loss to San Diego on Sunday, and his status for the season finale at Buffalo is uncertain.||||||| Wilkerson played every defensive snap against the Chargers, and the team says he showed no symptoms of a concussion until after the game, and was tested. He'll continue to undergo tests this week.
Wilkerson and Giants running back Brandon Jacobs were ejected from the teams' preseason game Monday night - a 17-3 win by the Jets - after taking swings at each other.||||||| After Mario Manningham's 7-yard catch with 8:37 left in the third quarter, Wilkerson and Jacobs shoved each other. The two yelled at each other several yards away from where Manningham caught the pass as players from both teams rushed over to separate Jacobs and Wilkerson before things escalated.
The Jets selected Temple defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson with the 30th overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday night, giving New York the big-time pass rusher they coveted.||||||| The 6-foot-4 1/2, 305-pound Wilkerson had 9 1/2 sacks last year for the Owls, and should immediately help the Jets, who have made it to the AFC championship game the last two seasons. "I don't see him as a nose tackle, but this young man can play defensive end in our system and (defensive) tackle as well," said coach Rex Ryan, who recently authored a book about himself. "I see him as a possible three-down contributor for us. We'll see."

A new garden on Chilmark School grounds will honor a late Island educator and leader in the public schools.
The small native plant garden being built behind the school will honor the memory of Susan Parker, who died in June.
Connected. Privileged. Honored. Thankful. Full.
Those were a few of the words the Chilmark School fourth and fifth grade class used in their class blessing at the school's community lunch Friday afternoon. The lunch was the last of the school year in a series of gatherings organized by Island Grown Schools and volunteers.
On Monday kindergarten and first grade students at the Chilmark School took their youthful expertise to the air. As part of a STEM project, standing for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the children collaborated on kite making. They were given 25 pennies to spend on materials for each kite and the designs were all their own.
Save the date for next Saturday, Feb. 9, when the Chilmark School holds its annual winter fundraiser. The party will be held at the Chilmark Community Center. Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish provide the backbeat.
The fundraiser is from 7 to 11:30 p.m. That's way past Chilmark midnight (8 p.m.) but, hey, time to step up and stay up for a good cause.
The cost is $15 at the door or online at ticketsmv.com/chilmark.
Repair Bills Passed for Chilmark School
But There Is a Hang-up: No Contractor Submitted Bid to Do the Work;
Aim Is for Summer Fixes
A bare quorum of Chilmark voters agreed without dissent this week to
borrow another $200,000 to pay for a mounting list of problems in the
physical plant at the Chilmark School.
"We are a little embarrassed but we are trying to put our best
foot forward and fix the problems," said selectman Frank Fenner at
a special town meeting held Wednesday night in the Chilmark Community
Chilmark School Work Nears Completion, But First Days' Classes
Will Be Elsewhere
JULIA WELLS Gazette Senior Writer
Repairs at the Chilmark School will not be completed in time for
opening day, and yesterday school and town leaders were busy with
last-minute arrangements for an alternative site for the children to
attend school.
Opening day is Thursday for all five elementary schools on the
Vineyard schools superintendent Dr. James H. Weiss announced on Friday the appointment of Susan Stevens as the new Chilmark head of school.
Currently a guidance counselor and special education coordinator at the Bak Middle School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Fla., a public magnet school, Mrs. Stevens has been a summer resident of Edgartown for 27 years. Her career in education began in 1976 and includes a wide array of teaching, from gifted to special needs, guidance and some administrative work. She has a sub-specialty in teaching children with autism.

Eagles Destroy the Dolphins, 98-47
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Four Eagles scored in double figures and every FGCU player that saw playing time scored at least three points as the FGCU women's basketball team dominated Jacksonville en route to a convincing 98-47 win at Veterans Memorial Arena on Saturday afternoon.
With the win, the Eagles improve their record to 6-0 overall and 2-0 A-Sun, while the loss snaps JU's five-game winning streak and drops the Dolphins to 5-2 overall and 1-1 in conference.
"We really executed at a high level in the first half," said head coach Karl Smesko. "We really worked to get good shots. We did a good job defensively and on the boards. It was also good to see our bench make positive contributions."
In their first A-Sun roadtrip of the 2010-11 campaign (at UNF and at JU), FGCU was extremely efficient shooting the ball and played lock down defense. The Eagles averaged 85.5 points and shot 60-of-106 (56.6-percent) from the floor and 23-of-46 (50-percent) from behind the three-point line, while limiting their opponents to just 31.3-percent (35-of-112) shooting from the field and 24.3-percent (9-of-37) from long distance. FGCU also outrebounded the opposition 75-66 and forced 41 turnovers.
Freshman Sarah Hansen (Edinboro, Pa./General McLane HS), in just her sixth collegiate game, put a stamp on her nomination for next week's A-Sun Player of the Week award as she led the Blue and Green in scoring for the third time this season with a team-high 15 points. The Edinboro, Pa. native, shot 7-of-10 from the field and registered six rebounds and three assists. Senior Shannon Murphy (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) also poured in a team-high 15 points. Murphy hit 6-of-12 shots from the floor to go with a team-high four assists and three steals. Junior Nicoya Jackson (Houston Texas/Cypress Springs HS/Southwestern Christian College) scored a season-high 14 points in 23 minutes off the bench. Junior Kelsey Jacobson (Barnesville, Minn./Moorhead HS) finished with 12 points and four assists. Junior Sarah Whitfield (Eugene, Ore./South Eugene HS/Lane CC) picked up her first points in the FGCU Blue and Green, registering nine points on 3-of-3 shooting from three-point range.
The Eagles opened the game on an 11-5 run, capped by a layup from Jacobson, forcing JU to call for a 30-second timeout (16:05). The Blue and Green burned the net in the beginning of the half, making their first six shots and not missing a field goal until the 14:59 mark.
After a three-point play from JU's Taneskei Richardson made the score 13-10 in favor of the visitors, the Eagles caught fire and cranked up their defensive pressure. FGCU used a 37-8 run, including scoring 14 consecutive points at one point, over the final 14:36 of the opening stanza to take a commanding 50-18 lead heading into the locker room at halftime. The Blue and Green shot 9-of-13 from the field (69.2-percent) and 5-of-11 (45.5-percent) from three-point range during the run. Murphy, Jacobson and Hansen all scored double figure points in the first half with 13, 12 and 10 points, respectively.
FGCU's 50 first half points are the most the team has scored in the opening 20 minutes of a game this season. The Blue and Green shot 20-of-31 (64.5-percent) from the floor and 5-of-11 (45.5-percent) from long distance, while limiting the Dolphins to just 33.3-percent (8-of-24) from the floor and 12.5-percent (1-of-8) from behind the arc. FGCU scored 30 points in the paint and forced JU into 17 first half turnovers, while just committing seven miscues of their own.
In the second half, the Eagles continued their solid overall play. The Blue and Green extended their lead to as many as 52 points and closed out the final 5:16 of the game on a 20-9 run to defeat the Ospreys by the final score of 98-47.
The Eagles shot 60.7-percent (34-of-56) from the floor and 57.9-percent (11-of-19) from beyond the arc, while limiting JU to a dismal 17-of-50 (34-percent) from the field and 4-of-15 (26.7-percent) from three-point range.

Hey, John. My name is Abe and I'm having a hard time finding ways of contacting you. I am a huge fan of your monsters. I was wondering if you do any commission work. My music project To Give You The Stars will be putting together a new album in the near future. I had an idea for that album cover and would love you to draw. Do you take custom requests and how much do you charge? My email is email@example.com.
Thank you for your time.

The Quartet watched Toby through the window. They spent many hours silently watching many different children through countless windows. Hours spent watching and observing in many nations, waiting for the watched child to catch a glimpse of them out the corner of their eye. When the group found a suitable candidate they would become a Quintet and the process of judging would start again. The progress would continue until they had grown enough in number to implement their unique and special plan. Toby looked in their direction, but he did not see them, so they moved to another house.

It was about a year and a half ago that an LSU cheerleading coach became a quadriplegic.
Chico Garcia, who was 29-years-old at the time, was in a boating accident on the Diversion Canal near the Amite River.
Chico had spent most of his life as an athlete. He was an LSU cheerleader himself. But, the accident left him unable to walk or even move his arms.
He hasn't let that stop him from motivating others.
Even in his wheelchair, he continues to coach at LSU and it's amazing to see how the community has gathered in support of Chico.
Chico joined us over the phone.
The Cheering for Chico golf tournament is Monday morning in Baton Rouge.
Registration starts at 7 a.m. with the shotgun start at 8 a.m., followed by lunch, lots of prizes, giveaways and fun.
You can also make a donation to help Chico with all of his health care expenses that are not covered by insurance by visiting cheeringforchico.com.

On June 6, the Tampa Bay Times reported this story regarding the matter of Agbebaku vs. Agbebaku. You can take a look at the article and more importantly the comments to the story. This is my rebuttal to what, in my opinion, is the belief that is somehow a result of the domestic violence injunction not being entered.
Let me start off by saying that my heart goes out to Ingrid Agbebaku's family, the minor children, and even to Eugene Agbebaku's family. There is no doubt in my mind that Eugene suffered from some serious mental issues and needed serious assistance in overcoming whatever demons he was living with. Additionally, under no circumstance would I suggest anything but sorrow for Ingrid Agbebaku as she was only 33 when she was murdered and she had young children. When Eugene Agbebaku broke into her house in the first week of June at 3:45 a.m., the result probably destroyed three generations of family members.
However, what I take exception to is that the judiciary in this case acted wrongly by denying Ingrid's Petition for Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence filed on March 19, 2012. Second, even if the injunction had been entered, the carbon copy piece of paper it was written on would not have stopped the bullets at 3:45 a.m.
Before we dive into the actual facts of the Agbebaku injunction proceeding, it is critical to understand what Ingrid's burden of proof was when she filed her Petition for Protection and what she needed to prove at trial.
The domestic violence statute is located in Chapter 741, Florida Statutes. Section 741.30, Florida Statutes, states clearly that one can obtain a domestic violence injunction when the person "is either the victim of domestic violence as defined in s. 741.28 or has reasonable cause to believe he or she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of any act of domestic violence, has standing in the circuit court to file a sworn petition for an injunction for protection against domestic violence."
The Court can enter a temporary injunction immediately without notice to the other party if the facts demonstrate that there is an act of violence or imminent danger of becoming the victim of domestic violence. Entering a temporary injunction without notice and an opportunity to be heard denies the respondent the right to respond.
That is why, unless extended by the court for good cause, the return hearing must be held within 15 days and before the temporary injunction expires. Not to overly simplify, but the temporary injunction issued without notice expires under operation of law in 15 days.
The Tampa Bay Times, in its opening paragraph, states that a Pasco County Judge entered a temporary injunction and then "a judge" dissolved that injunction for lack of evidence. I have obtained a copy of Ingrid's Petition for Injunction and I have also obtained a copy of the audio tape from the actual trial, which is generally known as a return hearing.
First, Ingrid's Petition for Injunction is, in my mind, questionable as to whether it supported a temporary injunction without notice. I could see judges ruling differently on the petition itself. The Tampa Bay Times is correct that the Petition alleges that Eugene was a sex addict, tried to commit suicide, was Baker Acted, threatened to leave the country, and destroyed personal property in the home.
Let's be clear, committing suicide is not always an act of violence towards the other party and especially in this case. Being a sex addict is not an act of violence. Being Baker Acted for mental instability is not a crime. Leaving the country and suggesting that Eugene's children should not know him is not an act of violence either. These facts are highly, highly disturbing, but the Statute written by the Legislature that the judges are required to enforce require acts of violence, not incredibly disturbing acts of mental instability.
Ingrid did allege that Eugene broke into the home, cut the security system, destroyed a television, and took almost all of the belongings out of the home. Destruction of property can be used as a basis for obtaining a temporary injunction and perhaps this is why the duty judge entered the temporary injunction.
From a practical perspective, the judges get a stack of domestic violence petitions on their desk at various points in the day. They read through injunctions to determine if there are any allegations of violence and/or legitimate fear of imminent danger, and then will enter a temporary injunction and set a return hearing, deny the temporary injunction and set a return hearing, or deny the petition in its entirety.
Second, a temporary injunction is designed to be temporary. The victim still has an affirmative obligation at the return hearing to prove their case.
The Agbebaku trial lasted from 9:26 a.m. until 9:45 a.m. on May 7, 2012, because of one extension. Both parties were represented by attorneys. What the Tampa Bay Times article did not report was that the evidence at trial presented only three allegations from the Petition for Injunction. First, Ingrid testified in passing that Eugene had been arrested for soliciting prostitution. Second, Ingrid testified that Eugene had been Baker Acted on Feb. 25, 2012. Most importantly, Ingrid testified in great detail about Eugene's attempted suicide on Feb. 25, 2012.
According to the testimony, Eugene drank a whole bottle of Nyquil, took a huge quantity of aspirin, and took a huge quantity of sleeping pills. He then locked himself in the garage for the night. She was uncertain at the trial whether the vehicle was actually running. What was clear from the testimony was that Eugene's attempt at suicide, while incredibly scary, did not place any other member of the family in danger.
Ingrid then testified that when she found Eugene, she helped him into the house, fed him soup, and called the ambulance. She testified on cross-examination that Eugene did not threaten her, hit her, or touch her inappropriately. She further testified that after Eugene was released from the hospital, she is the one that took him to a friend's house and stayed with him, alone, until the friend arrived. The two actually had several phone conversations between the suicide attempt and when Ingrid filed her Petition.
What was notably missing from her testimony was anything regarding damage to property or anything related to cutting the security system.
I think any judge worth his or her robe would recognize that Eugene had severe mental instability. However, the evidence at the trial, which is the only time evidence matters, did not show that Eugene's mental instability had manifested itself into any acts of violence and that Ingrid had not shown any actions consistent with being in imminent fear. A judge worth his or her robe would be required to deny the injunction based on the statute the judge is sworn to follow.
Let us assume that Ingrid did prove her case. At the conclusion of the hearing she would have been handed a carbon-copy of a court order that defines what Eugene could and could not do. A domestic violence injunction is a civil proceeding and only the violation of an injunction can lead to criminal sanctions.
In other words, if an injunction is entered, and Eugene was seen following Ingrid, going onto the property, or was contacting Ingrid (the most common violation), Ingrid could call the police, the police would then be dispatched, and then the police could arrest Eugene.
What the Order cannot do is stop a bullet or transport the police to Ingrid's house immediately. On that tragic morning, if Ingrid had seen Eugene at her house at 3:45 a.m. with a gun (or even without), my suspicion is that she would have called 911 and the officers would have responded just as quickly regardless of whether she had a court order or not.
My heart goes out to Ingrid and especially her family. Listening to her testify, I thought she had an intelligent and confident approach to how she spoke. I imagine if I knew her personally, I would have the same belief. This is not an article about anything Ingrid did wrong or should have done.
My point is that before we carelessly infer or directly state that such a tragic event could have been prevented if a domestic violence injunction was entered, we need to understand most judges want to reach the right result. This is absolutely true in domestic violence cases. However, the courts would cease to exist if judges could blatantly ignore the statutes they are sworn to follow. Additionally, in this case, even an injunction would not have stopped Eugene.
The moral of the story is that even victims who obtain an injunction must take additional steps to physically protect themselves. They need new or better alarm systems, changed locks or even guard dogs, for example. Additional things victims can do is hire a company to determine what areas of the home are most likely vulnerable in keeping someone from breaking in. There are also domestic violence shelters and ways to keep your address confidential. Sometimes, unfortunately, even the most carefully thought-out safety plans will not help when someone is set on getting to you.

Basketball ready for Great South Tournament
February 19, 2013
Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College basketball team is entering this weekend's Great South Tournament with their highest seeding ever. The Spirits will be the 2nd seeded team and will play Wesleyan on Friday at noon in the 1st quarterfinal game of the tournament hosted by Huntingdon. The Spirits are 2-0 against the Pioneers this season, with an 81-32 home win and a 79-24 road win.
The team tied with Agnes Scott as regular season runners-up, but they won a coin flip to earn the 2nd seed over the Scotties. Huntingdon will be the 1st seed and Spelman is the 4th seed. If the Spirits get by the Pioneers in the quarterfinals, they will take on the winner of the Agnes Scott versus Trinity game on Saturday.
The Spirits, currently 15-10, are only one win short of equaling the most wins in school history for the basketball program. Satavia Taylor (Chicago, IL) leads Salem into the tournament averaging 17.5 points, 6 rebounds, 3.8 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game. Salem will also rely on Jasmine Shabazz (Buffalo, NY) who is averaging 10.8 points and a team-leading 8.1 rebounds. Shamaz Denerson (Atlanta, GA) and Amber Miller (Mebane, NC) will be playing in their last GSAC Tournament as the only seniors on the squad.
Salem split with the number one-seeded Hawks of Huntingdon in the regular season. Spelman and Pine Manor will be on the Hawks side of the bracket. The full bracket and links to the GSAC Tournament website and video portal are below:

Here is a crop at 100% I recently posted in another thread, taken via the 400 f/5.6, and my crop camera. Whether this is "tack sharp" or not, is subjective. I have others that might illustrate it better, but I haven't gone through them all. The subject itself doesn't really lend to tack sharpness...and I realize compositionally it's not remotely a good picture.
Is this a 1057x701 crop? What was the size before cropping?

With its whimsical mix of handmade artisan products, clothing and jewelry Whyevernot is an icon of downtown Mystic.
For decades the store has drawn people to downtown, but this month after 31 years in business, 22 of them at the 17 West Main Street location, the shop is closing.
It all happened what seemed like rather suddenly. One day a sign appeared in the store window announcing a retirement sale and the closing of the store. Owner Martha Hug by nature a very private person declined to comment for this article.
But almost as soon as the news spread goodbye messages began appearing on social media sites and locals were stopping in the store to say farewell, buy one more treasure or write one last Valentine to hang in the store window.
"Whyevernot has been an anchor store in downtown Mystic and will be truly missed by both visitors and locals alike," Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce outgoing president Tricia Cunningham and incoming president Tricia Walsh said a statement.
"They have offered the community of Mystic a wonderful place to go for gifts, jewelry, clothing and excellent customer service along with a dose of creativity. We are happy for Martha and wish her well on her retirement and thank her for the many years she has called Mystic her home, we will be forever grateful to her for her commitment to Mystic!"
When I stopped in the store last week much of the merchandise was gone and some of the few items left had sold signs. The other shoppers kept telling the staff how much the store would be missed.
"We're very sad that they are leaving, but they've been in business for 31 years and here for 22 years," Steamboat Wharf LLC Owner Paul Connor and Property Manager Kate Rampellini said.
Steamboat Wharf LLC owns the building that houses Whyevernot.
Other local business owners, like Michael Walsh who owns Mine in Stonington took to Facebook to say goodbye:
"As the owner of another store in Mystic I am happy for you and sad for us. Your store was a destination and one of those truly classic local stores that left me feeling good whenever I went in there. Good luck in your retirement. I wish you much happiness after many years of hard hard work," Walsh wrote on Whyevernot's Facebook page.
Others said goodbye on the Stonington-Mystic Patch Facebook page:
"Great store. Thanks for the years of great gifts and fun browsing. You will be missed!" Kate Perch wrote.
It's too early to know what will take Whyevernot's place, but Steamboat Wharf LLC hopes they will be able to find another tenant to fill the spot that will become as beloved as Whyevernot. "We are looking for a unique store, something that is going to draw people to the area the why Whyevernot did," Connor and Rampellini said.
It won't be an easy task.
