We've got a Lakeville Pony Club page on Facebook with 206 fans (as of 6/23/2015). Check it out!
Our Region
United States Pony Clubs, Inc.
Founded in 1956 by the late Lucy Drummond, and now more than half a century old, Lakeville Pony Club is one of the oldest member clubs of the United States Pony Clubs. LPC serves the young people of northwest Litchfield County, as well as bordering areas of New York State and Massachusetts, and is one of the 17 clubs that constitute the USPC's New York/Upper Connecticut Region. During the more than half century that LPC has been in existence, hundreds of young people have been members.
Today, Lakeville Pony Club has around 20 members, ranging in age from 7 to 17, who live not only in Lakeville and Salisbury, but many other Northwest Corner towns as well as nearby locations in Massachusetts and New York State. Some live in New York City and are here weekends and during school vacations. Member interests and aspirations range from simply acquiring basic riding and horse care skills to participation in the equestrian community in a meaningful capacity.
The club provides mounted lessons -- generally emphasizing basic riding skills, and including Mounted Games and cross-country riding -- as well as an active program of dismounted activities, such as puppy walking with the Millbrook Hunt, competition in USPC Quiz, summer camp, and field trips with an equestrian theme.
During the summer, the club has a short day camp for its members. Each autumn, the club hosts the venerable Lakeville Open Horse Show, one of the oldest open horse shows in continuous existence in the United States. They also host clinics by recognized experts in the horse world on a variety of topics. The club competes at a regional level in Eventing, Dressage, Show Jumping, and Quiz, and has in the past sent a number of members to USPC National Championships in all of these disciplines, and a few to international Pony Club competitions and exchange programs.

Support Alert Newsletter Issue 157, Free Edition
"On April 24 the free version of AVG V8 was released, and was promptly met with howls of derision. The free version excluded the rootkit scanner, active protection against hostile websites and a number of the other goodies added to the commercial V8 product. It also was proving to be very buggy.
Worse still, AVG announced that they would discontinue (at the end of May) the virus updates for the current V7.5 free version as well as their free anti-spyware and rootkit detection products.
I can fully understand user's disappointment with these announcements, but this is a perfectly normal commercial decision. AVG is, after all, a commercial organization, not a charity.
Their move does, however, present users of AVG's free software with a problem. Before the release of the V8, many AVG users employed an excellent security setup that combined the free version of AVG AV 7.5 with AVG's free anti-spyware scanner. With both these products being phased out, users are faced with a dilemma."
I have used Freeware AVG 7.5 for sometime now. But looks like this happy relationship is gonna end soon !!
Any thoughts and ideas besides what Gizmo suggest.

Although Mali's African elephant population is relatively small (hundreds rather than thousands), the country's parched climate means its elephants must continually walk—in long queues, single file—search of new drinking water. It's striking to see scores of huge lumbering beasts marching trunk-to-tail across the Saharan landscapes south of Timbuktu (which are not preserves or parklands, but wild desert), or cooling themselves in the welcome waters of Lake Débo.
When to Go: Between February and May.
How to Get There: Explore Mali organizes custom multiday trips to see the elephants, with either camping or local-hotel stays in between. Because the elephants in Mali aren't accustomed to humans the way those in safari parks are, guides make sure to stay at a respectful, and safe, distance (from $402 per person).

IELTS Letter, topic: Complaint about a laptop
You have bought a new laptop computer and in a few days of purchase discovered a major flaw. Write a letter to the company. In your letter
- introduce yourself
- explain the situation
- say what action you would like to company to take.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing you to express my dissatisfaction with a laptop computer I bought in your store four days ago.
As soon as I turned on the computer, I realized that Windows operating system was not installed in it, the offer said it was included. In addition, I chose a gray laptop and the one I received black. Moreover, the default language of the laptop is and I haven't been able to change it to my native language, which is English. To make matters worse, the memory specifications of this laptop are not the same as the ones that I read in your catalog.
I definitely need this situation to be solved as soon as possible. I made the decision to buy the laptop at your store, because of previous good recommendations some friends of mine gave me about your store. However, after this experience, I feel deceived.
I would like you send me the laptop I first chose at your store, including all the specifications shown in the offer. If I don't get a quick response to my request, I a full refund of the payment I already made.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Yours faithfully,
This is a good letter, all it need is a little more attention as there are certain language inaccuracies (see comments underlined in blue). Overall, this looks like a Band 7 letter.

The Noble Writ: Organic Wine and the Sustainable Secret
Categories: Drink Drank Drunk, The Noble Writ
I like to think of myself as a relatively environmentally-aware guy. My family of four downsized to one car a year ago. We compost and recycle, pay a bit extra for wind power, buy a lot of our food from local, sustainable producers (including splitting a share in Fair Shares) and generate less than one kitchen trash bag of garbage a week.
Surprisingly, though, I'm not fixated on whether any particular wine has the official government "Organic" designation or not.
Earning the right to put the word "Organic" on a bottle of wine is difficult, and I applaud the producers who have the dedication to bear the burdens required to use "Organic" on their labels. But the simple fact is that many growers of high-quality wine grapes have adopted many, if not all, of the tenets of organic farming whether they put an "Organic" label on the wine or not.
|Andrew Dunn, Wikimedia Commons
|A compost heap.
So why don't most producers go all the way and earn "Organic" labels? One of the most common arguments is a practical one: Farmers want the right to use a treatment not permitted by organic agriculture. For some, this is an emergency safety net. If some pest or disease strikes their vineyard, they aren't willing to take a severe loss of their crop (and therefore income) because there isn't an effective organic treatment available. For others, especially those in humid or rainy regions, it's a dislike for copper sulfate (read more about copper sulfate here), which is the main organic fungicide.
However, the main reasons are financial and regulatory. Acquiring organic certification is not cheap, both in terms of the certification and inspection fees involved -- and especially in the value of the grower's time that will be spent dealing with the record-keeping requirements of both an approved certifying agency and the United States Department of Agriculture. If you'd like to torture yourself, read the UDSA regulations covering organics and labeling.
|Wikimedia Commons
So how do you find those producers who are working organically but not seeking certification, or working in a non-organic but largely sustainable fashion? First, there are several organizations to which some of these producers belong and their websites list participating vineyards and producers. For starters, you can check out the California Sustainable Winegrowing Program and Oregon-based LIVE.
Reading producer websites and even wine labels can also be a useful source of information, subject to the important caveat that once you get outside of the USDA-defined terms, you're operating in the realm of unregulated consumer terminology that is amenable to creative interpretation, if not outright abuse, every bit as much as terms like "Giant Size" or "New and Improved."
At the end of the day, I admire the producers who manage to meet the "Organic" or even the "Made with Organic Grapes" standard. They've definitely earned it, and I give full credit to their dedication. But I'm quite comfortable with my environmentally-conscious side when I support producers who don't bother pursuing certification or are employing less comprehensive sustainable measures. I see the good in this and am happy to support it, too. Truthfully, if you're concerned about the environmental impact of wine, you should look first at how the wine makes its way from the producer to your cellar, starting with the way you get to the wine store and back.

What You Should Know About Welfare's Work Requirements
Welfare recipients are required to do "work activities" for a certain number of hours per week to receive benefits.
What Are Work Activities and How Many Hours Must I Work?
Most people will be required to work 35 hours a week. However, no one can be assigned more than 40 hours a week.
Single parents must work at least 30 hours per week, with the first 20 hours from any of the following activities:
- Employment
- Work experience program (WEP)
- Job placement by the Human Resources Administration (HRA)
- On-the-job training
- Job search (for up to 6 weeks)
- Community service
- Vocational educational training (for up to 12 months)
- Providing child care to someone doing community service.
Additional hours of work can be other assigned activities.
For 2-parent families, one or both parents must do at least 35 hours per week of work activities. If the family receives child care benefits, the family must do at least 55 hours of work activities. Parents may divide these hours as they wish.
Adults in families with no dependent children must work 35 hours per week, with the first 30 hours from the following activities:
- Employment
- Work experience program (WEP)
- On-the-job training
Do I Get To Choose the Kind of Work I Am Assigned to Do?
If you have dependent children, HRA is required to assess your education, skills, work experience, training and vocational interests. HRA is required to write up an "employability plan" indicating your assigned work activities and an employment goal that reflects your preferences if possible. If your preferences cannot be met, the plan should say why. The work you are assigned to should be consistent with your employment goal and preferences, if such work is available.
HRA may assign you to work activities even before it completes the assessment. The assessment must be completed within 90 days of the date you were found eligible for welfare.
If you do not have dependent children, HRA must complete an assessment and employment plan within 1 year of your application for welfare.
What Rights Do I Haveat My Work Assignment?
You have the same right to workplace protections that are guaranteed to all workers on the job.
- You are covered by many safety and health laws.
- You are covered by some form of workers' compensation.
- You are protected against discrimination based on race, gender, national origin or disability.
Who Is Exempt from the Work Requirements?
All welfare recipients are required to work unless you are:
- Ill or injured and unable to work for up to 3 months
- Incapacitated or disabled
- 60 or older
- Under 16
- Under 19 and in secondary or vocational school full time
- The parent or caretaker relative of a child under 1 (for 3 months per child up to a total of 12 months)
- The caretaker of a disabled household member
- Pregnant and 30 days from due date.
What Is the Disability Exemption?
HRA has a process to decide if you cannot work or are "work-limited" due to a disability.
HRA must give you an opportunity to submit medical documentation showing you have a disability. You should get letters from your doctors with a specific diagnosis, explaining your symptoms and whether or not you can work.
HRA will usually send you to one of its doctors who will decide if you are disabled and unable to work or "work-limited" (assigned only to work activities consistent with your physical and mental limitations) or neither.
You cannot be assigned to work activities before HRA decides that you are disabled unless you agree to be assigned. To assign you, HRA must give you a "Notice of Work Required and Right to Contest."
If you disagree with HRA's decision on whether you are disabled, you can ask for a fair hearing. You must request a hearing within 10 days of the date of the Notice of Work Required.
What About My Children?
There is no exemption from the work requirements for parents who need child care, but you should not be sanctioned if you cannot find child care or your child care falls through.
Welfare must pay for child care for children under age 13.
Parents are responsible for arranging for child care. But if you can show that you cannot find care, HRA must provide 2 child care options in your area.
You should not be sanctioned if you cannot find child care. You can be sanctioned if you stop looking for child care or if you cannot explain to welfare in detail about where you have looked.
What About Transportation?
There is no exemption if you do not have transportation to your work activity. If you must take public transportation to your assignment, welfare will give you subway or bus fare.
What If I Am In School?
Those with dependent children are eligible for up to 12 months of vocational training. For adults without children, educational activities will not count toward most of your required work hours.
HRA does not have to schedule your work activities around your school.
What If I Can't Comply with the Work Requirements?
You should not be sanctioned if you had "good cause" for failing to comply with your assignment.
Some examples of good cause are: circumstances beyond your control such as your own or your child's illness, a household emergency, or lack of child care for your children under age 13.
To show good cause for illness, get a signed, dated letter from your doctor on the day you were sick. To show lack of child care, get a dated letter from your child care provider when she cancels or your child care falls through.
If HRA decides that your failure to comply with the work requirements was without good cause, HRA can reduce your welfare budget or close your case.
Parents with dependent children will be sanctioned by losing their share of the welfare grant:
- 1st sanction: until willing to comply
- 2nd sanction: 3 months and until willing to comply
- 3rd or more sanction: 6 months and until willing to comply.
Parents should inform HRA immediately when they are willing to comply.
Adults with no dependent children will be sanctioned by having their case closed:
- 1st sanction: 90 days and until willing to comply
- 2nd sanction: 150 days, and until willing to comply
- 3rd or more sanction: 180 days, and until willing to comply.
Adults with no dependent children should reapply for welfare 45 days before the sanction ends to reopen their case.
Food stamps sanction periods are two, four, and six months.
You should not lose Medicaid because of a work sanction, but you will be required to recertify for Medicaid.

MULTl-WAVELENGTH PHOTOMETER EMPLOYING A ROTATING VARIABLE WAVELENGTH FILTER This invention relates to multi-wavelength photometers, and more particularly to a multi-wavelength photometer of the type employing a rotating filter wheel for selecting the various working wavelengths to be employed in the photometer.
A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved mutli-wavelength photometer wherein absorbances at a plurality of externally selectable wavelengths can be measured in rapid succession or absorbance differences can be measured using a wavelength pair wherein the wavelength components can be selected over a wide continuous range, independently of each other.
A further object of the invention is to provide the improved multi-wavelength photometer apparatus wherein the working wavelengths can be readily and accurately selected independently of each other and in a reliable manner, the apparatus involving relatively simple and inexpensive components, being easy to operate, having relatively few parts,'being stable in operation, and wherein theoptical system of the apparatus is inherently synchronized with the electrical readout system of the apparatus.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims, and from the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing the components of a typical multi-wavelength photometer constructed in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged vertical cross-sectional view I taken substantially on the line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged vertical cross-sectional view taken substantially on the line 33 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a graph showing the sequences in the development of the gating signals employed in the apparatus of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings, 11 generally designates a typical multi-wavelength photometer according to the present invention, arranged as a dual'wavelength photometer to measure difference of absorption at two wavelengths A and A passing through a sample contained in a cuvette 12. In the illustrative example diagrammatically shown in FIG. 1, a wide-range light source 13 is provided, for example, a source of white light. The output of source 13 is directed by a lens 14 through rotating circular filter disc 15, presently to be described, and through a slit plate 16 and a focussing lens 17 to provide a beam 18, which is time-shared to alternately comprise the two wavelengths A and A as will be explained. The time-shared beam passes through the sample cuvette l2 and impinges on a photomultiplier tube 19.
The photomultiplier tube 19 forms part of a response circuit 20 generally similar to that disclosed in the patent application of George W. Lowy et al., Ser. No. 291,046, filed Sept. 21, 1972, entitled Dual Wavelength Photometer for Absorbance Difference Measurements. In the circuit 20, the time-spaced signals generated in the photomultiplier tube 19 are delivered through a current-to-voltage amplifier 21 to a wire 22. Wire 22 is connected through a first electronic switch device 23 to a conductor 24, and is likewise connected through a second electronic switch device 25 and a variable attenuator 26 to conductor 24. Conductor 24 is connected through a 2-position selector switch 27 either to the input of a logarithmic amplifier 28 or a linear amplifier 29. The outputs of amplifiers 28 and 29 are connected to a conductor 30. Conductor 30 is connected through appropriately triggered electronic switch devices 31 and 32 to track and hold integrating circuits 33 and 34, which respectively generate steady d.c. output voltages representing the timespaced signal pulses furnished to the conductor 30. These two steady d.c. output voltages, applied respectively to output conductors 35 and 36, are applied simultaneously to the two inputs of a differential amplifier 37. The output of amplifier 37, which substantially comprises the difference between the steady 'd.c. input signals from conductors 35 and 36, is delivered through a variable attenuator 38, employed for calibration, to a meter 39 and a recorder 40.
The electronic switch devices 23, 25, 31 and 32 may comprise field effect transistors. In orderto compensate for the nonlinearity of the response characteristic of the photomultiplier tube 19, the dynode voltage thereof is regulated in accordance with the steady dc. voltage derived at the output of the integrating circuit 33. Thus, the output voltage of circuit 33 is compared with a reference voltage in a differential amplifier 42 and the output signal of amplifier 42 is utilized in a conventional manner to adjust the voltage output value of a high voltage power supply device 43 furnishing the photomultiplier dynode voltage. This comparison is obtained by connecting the output conductor 35 to one of the input terminals of the differential amplifier 42, as shown.
The filter disc 15 comprises two identical variable filter segments 44,44 cemented together at their diametral edges to form a full circular disc. The segments 44,44 are similar to Visual Circular Variable Filter (VCVF), 180 Segment, manufactured by Optical Coating Laboratory,.lnc., Santa Rosa, California, each segment having a spectral range of from 400 to 700 nm.
The filter disc 15 is mounted on an axial shaft 45 which is driven by a suitable motor 46 Also mounted on shaft 45 is an opaque timing disc 47 having an aperture 48. Mounted on one side of timing disc 47 at diametrically opposed locations relative to disc 47 and at the same radial distances from its axis as the aperture 48 are respective stationary lamps 49 and S0, and mounted on the other side of disc 47 in longitudinal alignment with the lamps are respective stationary photo diodes 51 and 52. I
The slit in slit plate 16' is preferably radially divergent relative to the axis of the disc 15, namely, is substantially wedge-shaped, so as to maximize spectral purity.
V preset time delay after a light pulse 56 from lamp generates an electrical pulse 57 in photo diode 52. This delay is determined by the width of the pulse 58 generated in monostable oscillator. 1A, which is in accordance with the setting of an adjustable impedance 59 provided in oscillator 1A. The trailing edge of pulse 58 triggers monostable oscillator 1B, to thereby generate the narrow output pulse 53.
Similarly, a light pulse 60 from lamp 49 180 later causes photo diode 51 to generate an electrical pulse 61 in its output conductor 62 which is connected to the input of a second variable delay pulse forming system comprising a variable delay monostable oscillator 2A drivingly connected to a monostable oscillator 2B. The pulse 61 generates a variable width pulse 63 in monostable oscillator 2A whose trailing edge triggers monostable oscillator 2B to thereby generate a narrow output pulse 64, which is supplied to its output conductor 65. The width of pulse 63, and hence the time delay, is determined by the setting of an adjustable impedance 66 provided in oscillator 2A.
The range of adjustment of the impedances 59 and 66 corresponds to the time period required for an 180 segment 44 to pass the slit of the slit plate 16, whereby the triggering pulses 53 and 64 may occur at moments when selected wavelengths are provided in the beam 18, said wavelengths being thus individually timeselected from the 400 to 700 nm wavelength range provided by each of the continuous-wavelength filter segments 44, 44.
The monostable oscillators 1A, 1B, 2A and 28 may be similar to Model No. MC667 manufactured by Motorola Semiconductor Products, Inc., Phoenix, Ariz.
The output conductor 54 of monostable oscillator 1B is connected to the triggering electrodes of the electronic switch devices 23 and 31, whereby said switch devices are simultaneously closed by the pulses 53. Similarly, the output conductor 65 of monostable oscillator 2B is connected to the triggering electrodes of electronic switch devices 25 and 32, whereby these switch devices are simultaneously closed by the pulses 64.
In operation, with a sample to be tested placed in the cuvette 12, the reference wavelength A is selected by the adjustment of the variable impedance 59 and the measure wavelength 1,, is selected by the adjustment of the variable impedance 66. This establishes the appropriate pulse delay time for each filter segment 44, in the manner above described.
Thus, with motor 46 energized, when the electronic switch devices 23 and 31 close, the signal from photomultiplier tube'19 will be its response to the selected reference wavelength A and the steady dc. voltage applied to the conductor 35 will correspond to this response. Similarly, when the electronic switch devices 25 and 32 close, the signal from photomultiplier tube 19 will be its response to the selected measure wavelength X and the steady dc. voltage applied to conductor 36 will correspond to this response.
The variable attenuator device 26 employed with the A gated circuit branch between conductors 22 and 24 is employed for suitably balancing the signals furnished to either amplifier 28 or 29 at the beginning of a test.
While the typical instrument above described utilizes only two selected working wavelengths A and A in accordance with the present invention, any desired number of working wavelengths or wavelength pairs may be utilized by providing the required additional photo diodes, associated variable delay pulse forming systems, and gated photomultiplier response circuits, similar to those above described. In each case, any particular wavelength contained in the available range can be selected by appropriately adjusting the pulse width of the associated first variable delay monostable oscillator, thereby establishing the cyclic time at which its associated photomultiplier response circuit is gated.
While a specific embodiment of an improved multiwavelength photometer has been disclosed in the foregoing description, it will be understood that various modifications within the spirit of the present invention may occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore it is intended that no limitations be placed on the invention except as defined by the scope of the appended claims.

continued Thurman's white-space broadband project has been recognized nationally, as it is a pilot project for a very promising technology that is expected to change a lot of lives in rural areas of our nation.
The Thurman white-space project, spearheaded by Evelyn Wood at the initial suggestion of Ava Ashendorff of Chestertown, has been described on National Public Radio, written up in the Senate Rural Resources magazine, and described on PBS television.
Supervisor Wood, who applied for and obtained a $200,000 grant for the white space broadband access project, was interviewed recently for the Capitol Press Room radio show, broadcast statewide.

Metro to shut down Smithsonian, Federal Triangle stations Presidents Day Weekend
A major service disruption looms for Metro's Orange and Blue Lines. As we've mentioned here before, the transit agency will be shutting down the Smithsonian and Federal Triangle stations from 10 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 18, through the Monday holiday. There will be no service between Metro Center and L'Enfant Plaza, two of the system's most important transfer stations.
At the Smithsonian station this morning, Metro planning director Jim Hughes explained what the work will involve and why Metro decided to do it on that particular weekend. As we all know, any holiday weekend is going to bring a crush of tourists to the Smithsonian. But there are vastly fewer people going through that Blue/Orange stretch compared to a weekday, and the 3-day weekend gives them an extra day to bang out the necessary work. Metro is doing major overhauls like this one at a number of stations, and they wanted to get the Smithsonian station done before spring and summer tourist season.
As for the work itself, the agency will have people working around the clock to replace track switches, rehab escalators and elevators, iron out some insulator problems that have led to track fires, and improve the station lighting, among other things. Between the Smithsonian and Federal Triangle stations are what's known as crossover tracks -- basically the tracks form an X, allowing the trains to pass to either side in the event of a closure or emergency -- and the agency will essentially be ripping out all that track and replacing it.
"Instead of having eight single-track weekends, we'll do it in a 3-day weekend," Hughes said. "Strategically, it's very involved... It's a fairly intensive work effort."
Metro will be running free shuttle buses around the closure, but your other option will be a double transfer, going through Gallery Place-Chinatown between L'Enfant Plaza and Metro Center. Hughes said taking the bus or the double transfer will take about the same amount of time, so you may want to consider the weather a bit. (If it's cold and miserable out, it might be better to stay below ground.)
Hughes urged us to remind people heading out late Friday night that Smithsonian and Federal Triangle will be closing at 10 p.m. Also, because of the attendant delays at Metro Center and L'Enfant Plaza, you'll need to move up your late-night departure times throughout the weekend. The last trains will be pulling out about twenty minutes earlier than usual for each station.

Voice of the People
Having faith in the Word of God
I am writing in response to the article in your newspaper entitled, "Some Bible stories simply are not true." The Bible, God's Holy Word, has been assaulted for centuries. The atheist telling people there is no God. The evolutionist telling man two rocks came together and formed this world and man came from the sea. We now have a retired minister telling us he thinks that parts of the Word of God are not true.
He states in his article the Bible stories are false, funny, ludicrous, preposterous, inappropriate and myths. I would ask him, what parts are we to believe? I would like to reply to these claims.
I am a Christian and I believe all the Bible. I believe the Word of God, the Old Testament and the New Testament is true and it will judge us. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; scriptures given by God. Proverbs 3:7; Don't be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord. 1 Corinthians 3:19; "for the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. For it is written, He catches the wise in their own craftiness." James 1:5; If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, it will be given him. Revelation 22:18-20; Don't add to the Book and don't take away.
What else do we have to trust in except our faith and God the creator of this world? Sometimes those who believe in God's word and are willing to stand firm on it, not willing to compromise the word, are accused of using cudgels to assault others.
Yes, I must be a fundamentalist because I believe the Bible is infallible and is the complete Word of God and will stand through all ages.

Welcome to Rise of the Originals!! Rise of the Originals (ROTO) is my quest for the grandfathers of a new genre, the next musical blueprint. It is my call for the birth of a new movement in music. Maybe a new spin on the return of "real musicians" or people who can sing without auto tune. People who can perform on stage without a back up track and mix that with a finesse the world has never seen before. I am looking for what Madonna was to Pop. What NWA was to Rap. What Little Richard was to Rock. What Michael Jackson was to an Era.
While listening to all submitted material, we will be frequenting all the open mic nights and showcases we can find searching for talent to be featured on this site. We will be hitting up different open mic nights and showcases anywhere we can find them. MySpace, Facebook, Vimeo you name it, we are looking for talent. If you or someone you know would like to be considered for the website send an invite to your next performance or a link to your page to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will check it out. If you aren't performing any where you can submit music along with any video footage of a past performance. All music submitted must be copyrighted. No exceptions. All showcase participants must sign a release allowing Rise of the Originals to use their image and likeness.
If you are selected, you will have to be in NYC to particitpate in the showcases. You our loyal readers, will vote for the weekly winners. Once we have 4 winners they will perform in the Rise of the Originals Showcase. We invite music industry
So lets us know where you'll be and we could be your last stop before stardom.

MADISON – Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and the Wisconsin Department of Justice hosted a 2010 Open Meetings and Public Records Seminar via videoconferencing today. Video conference sites included Green Bay, Racine, Rice Lake and La Crosse. The seminar began at 1:00 p.m. and is schedule to conclude at 4:00 p.m. Ninety-six people attended today's training session.
In his remarks, Van Hollen emphasized the importance of these seminars in promoting a better understanding of the open meetings and public records laws; laws that Van Hollen described as "an essential component of effective citizen oversight of the workings of our democratic government."
"I believe very strongly in my office's role to help government officials and the public better understand their responsibilities and rights under the law," said Van Hollen. "We offer seminars such as these free of charge because we want to maximize compliance. I truly believe that preventing mistakes is preferable to prosecuting mistakes."
The free seminars are only a part of the Wisconsin Department of Justice's campaign to promote compliance with public records and open meetings laws. In addition to the seminars, the Department of Justice recently published updated versions of the Open Meetings Compliance Guide and the Public Records Compliance Outline.
In addition, the Department of Justice has created a new online public records resource guide, which is available at
Van Hollen was followed by Assistant Attorneys General Tom Bellavia and Mary Burke. AAG Bellavia specializes in open meetings law, and AAG Burke specializes in public records law.

2014 ACC Tournament Teleconference: Coach Moore
March 3, 2014
RALEIGH, N.C. – Just a few days prior to the 2014 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, NC State head coach Wes Moore answered questions from the media in the pre-tournament teleconference.
NC State (24-6, 11-5 ACC) secured a No. 4 seed at the tournament and will open play in Greensboro on Friday, March 7 at 11 a.m. The Wolfpack will play either Virginia Tech, Clemson, or Syracuse.
Opening statement
I'm proud of their consistency. We've had to battle and scratch for every win but we've won the games that we needed to win to stay in that top four spot. We've obviously suffered some tough injuries here in the last week or two, but the kids have held it together.
We come into the tournament still searching a little bit as to how we want to adjust due to the injuries but at the same time excited about the opportunity.
Again, I'm pleased that we were able to get the double bye and hopefully we can go into the tournament rested and ready to play.
On how the injuries late in the season are affecting the team
Miah Spencer is a freshman that's doing an outstanding job and putting up great numbers, but it was nice having her come off the bench. Now she's thrown into a starting role and it hurts us in terms of depth. Miah would do a great job of giving us a lift either with a defensive steal or knocking down a big three when she would come into the game. You miss that; you miss that extra lift or plug of momentum.
About Kiki (Lakeesa) Daniel, her playing time may not have been as much as it should have been because it's hard to take Markeisha Gatling off the court, but Kiki played extremely well when she went in there. She gave us a lot of length off the bench. Her ability to score and rebound on the offensive end and then also to contest the shot on the defensive end (was important).
Now, again, we have a freshman in Jenn (Jennifer) Mathurin who has to kind of fill that role.
It's taken a little bit of time but we were able to come up with some good wins right after the injuries. The loss to Notre Dame, that's happened to everyone that's played Notre Dame. This is what it is and we've just got to keep adjusting and hopefully these kids can all step up in their new roles and we can keep rolling.
On if the team's incredible success has been a surprise
I've been blessed. These kids have given me everything they've got. They've had great attitudes. Again, I hate it for Myisha and Kiki; I hate it for them individually. The ACL is a dreadful thing in women's basketball. Unfortunately, that's the way life is. When you get knocked down, you've got to get back up. These kids have done that all year long, so I don't expect anything differently.
I'm extremely proud of being in that top four and receiving the double bye. The kids deserve a lot of accolades for that.
On what his team "bought into" this season
I think that was the big thing. Believing that they could win and being willing to work for it and not point fingers or get down on one another, but stick with it and keep grinding.
There's been so many times this season in some of these big wins—in particular over ranked opponents—when we've been down double digits and they could have very easily just said "hey, this isn't going to happen today," but they kept battling back.
Like I said, that's what I hope will carry through this weekend. They're a close group: you've got the six seniors who see two of their teammates go down and it's been an emotional week or two. I hope we can regroup like they have all year and come back up off the mat and give it a shot in Greensboro.

Badgetec's round Visitor Badges can be identified quickly and easily at distances because of their distinctive round shape. The human eye distinguishes shape more easily than colors or text and hence, round Visitor Badges perform their function better, even more than large rectangular badges. Visitor badges serve two security purposes in schools: to identify non-employees in order to control their entry into restricted areas and secondly, to prove their authorization to be in a specific area of the facility.
Issuing visitor passes that are not clearly displayed or in ones' pocket defeats the security purpose of temporary passes. Badgetec's new clothing-safe Contour Clip® enables visitors to wear the passes high on the front of their garment so that staff members can clearly see them. For attachment, the Contour Clip® does not require a plastic holder, instead it attaches directly thru a slot in the badge and slides onto the edge of a garment (pocket, lapel, collar) like a "paperclip". In addition, these low-cost clip-on badges are preferred over adhesive stickers because of the clothing and housekeeping issues. Round Visitor Badges can also self-expire by changing color by the next day.
As the primary function of a Visitor Badge is to visually communicate the individual's status, wearing the Visitor Badge near eye-level is important. Recognizing that the nametag is very lightweight and the Contour Clip® is safe (no pins-no holes), visitors will tend to attach it to their pocket, collar or lapel without hesitation. Businesswomen state that they appreciate the new round featherweight design. With the 'paperclip' attachment concept, the Contour Clip® slides on easily by tactile-feel.
These new Visitor Badges are made of durable cardstock sheets that can be laser or inkjet printed. The standard 8.5x11" diecut sheets have slots punched at the top of each tag for attaching the clip and can be hand-written or printed using Microsoft Word (AVERY®) templates. One then simply separates the round tags from the sheet and issues them.
BADGETEC was established in 2010. Headquartered in New York, Badgetec is a socially and environmentally responsible developer and manufacturer of eco-friendly products, providing recyclable and/or reusable cost-effective products, appropriate for their purpose while maintaining professional quality. All products are made in the USA. For more information and samples, visit:

We wrote some Routines for working with adabasd database. It seems that between two routine-calls the connection gets lost.
The most amazing thing is that the same routines (compiled with VC++) under Windows NT runs ok.
Additionaly we found out that starting the application with "java -classic ...." works fine.
Thanks a lot

Tipping the scales:
• Landon Donovan asks Los Angeles Galaxy to let him to continue have fun with Tim Howard at Goodison.
• Meanwhile, Bruce Arena invokes Dumb & Dumber's now soccer-cliched quote that the chances are likely near one in a million. (Wish we had that one before the odds piece.)
TSG Archives:
Here's what TSG had to say about the move back on February 11th. We'll weigh in again when we compose research and full thoughts. It seems signing the contract might have played directly into MLS hands?
• More on Lanverton. Fox Soccer has an opinion that it was a gamble by Landon to sign a deal to secure a loan to Everton this year. I fail to see the logic behind this being a huge gamble for LD10.
Both MLS and Landon stand to benefit from a loan stint overseas. The contract that Donovan signed will only seek to enhance a potential transfer fee. Odd logic, but maybe I'm missing something here. In two years, Donovan will effectively be 30 so his marketability was now….not in two years.

In recent months, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced and implemented policy shifts that could compromise the availability of directors' and officers' (D&O) insurance coverage for entities and individuals.
In two high-profile cases, the SEC has required admissions of wrongdoing as a condition of settling enforcement actions. In both cases, the defendants included provisions that appear to mitigate the impact of the admissions on insurance coverage.
"London Whale" Enforcement Actions. In its $900 million settlement of several "London Whale" enforcement actions, JPMorgan admitted wrongdoing in connection with its SEC settlement. But the admissions were not made on behalf of any single individual, and court approval was not needed because the settlement negotiations took place in an administrative proceeding. Therefore, JPMorgan was allowed to avoid the specific and direct admissions of wrongdoing that are more likely to trigger D&O coverage exclusions regarding conduct.
Philip Falcone and Harbinger Capital Partners Enforcement Actions. The other noteworthy settlement with the SEC involved two enforcement actions against billionaire Philip Falcone and his hedge fund, Harbinger Capital Partners. The SEC alleged that Falcone improperly used $113.2 million of investors' funds to pay his own taxes, favored some investors' redemption requests over those of others and improperly traded in bonds. The SEC required Falcone to admit wrongdoing in addition to paying an $18 million penalty after the SEC commissioners rejected an earlier settlement that did not contain an admission of wrongdoing. But the settlement does not prohibit Falcone and Harbinger from taking legal and factual positions in subsequent cases not involving the SEC, which will allow them room to maneuver in related civil suits.
Enforcement Actions Not Involving "Widespread Investor Harm." While the SEC has demonstrated its policy shift in these two recent cases, enforcement actions that do not appear on their face to involve "widespread investor harm" continue to be resolved without an admission of wrongdoing. As SEC enforcement co-directors Andrew Ceresney and George Canellos have recently clarified, admissions will be considered in the public interest:
The full effect of the SEC's policy shift remains to be seen, but thus far it implicates several different provisions in D&O insurance policies:
Conduct Exclusions
All D&O insurance policies contain what are referred to as "conduct exclusions." These exclusions are meant to carve out from coverage those claims that involve deliberate fraudulent or criminal conduct or the gaining of profit or advantage that is illegal. Under some policies, insurers might argue that admissions in an SEC settlement are sufficient to trigger the conduct exclusion and thus bar coverage in a civil lawsuit arising out of the same set of facts.
Severability Provisions
D&O insurance policies also often contain what are referred to as "severability provisions," which prevent one individual insured's knowledge or wrongful acts to be imputed to another, or a director's or officer's knowledge or acts to be imputed to the entity itself, which would eviscerate coverage for that individual or entity. Generally, these provisions come into play only when specific individuals are established to have facts or knowledge that would trigger one of the conduct exclusions discussed above.
Repayment of Previously Advanced Defense Costs
Finally, insurers may argue that they are entitled to repayment of previously advanced defense costs if a settlement with the SEC contains specific allegations sufficient to trigger one or more conduct exclusions. Insurers have met with mixed success on this issue, but they were often denied an opportunity to establish a lack of coverage where insureds settle civil cases and regulatory actions without admissions of wrongdoing. While the likelihood that insurers will pursue previously advanced defense costs remains low, the risk increases in larger cases where millions of dollars have been spent. Insureds should pay careful attention to
Although the SEC's policy shift has just begun, and has so far been limited to headline-grabbing cases, policyholders should keep in mind its potential impact on the above provisions when negotiating D&O insurance policies and before beginning serious settlement discussions in regulatory enforcement actions.

Winston Churchill once said "Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions."
North Korea, it seems, only took part of the lesson.
During a debate at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament North Korea threatened to annihilate South Korea – something it now has the means to do.
North Korea threatened South Korea with "final destruction" during a debate at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament on Tuesday, saying it could take further steps after a nuclear test last week.
"As the saying goes, a new-born puppy knows no fear of a tiger. South Korea's erratic behavior would only herald its final destruction," North Korean diplomat Jon Yong Ryong told the meeting.
It is bad enough to threaten to destroy your neighbor at a disarmament conference, but to do it the same month you tested your third nuclear weapon is something else.
North Korea could, with only momentary preparation needed, give South Korea its "final destruction." Some analysts believe North Korea's artillery alone could level Seoul – a city with a population of roughly 10 million people – in two hours. With the use of nuclear weapons the entire country is under threat and the U.S, still technically at war with North Korea, would have to take a major role in responding to any aggression.

Bay Area reaction to "Should Be Made in America" campaign
Reaction to the Alliance for American Manufacturing's (AAM) Should Be Made in America campaign continues to come in from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Responding to AAM's new billboard campaign, the San Francisco Weekly commented:
...a group of American manufacturers are calling it an embarrassment. The Alliance for American Manufacturing launched a new campaign, dubbed "Should Be Made in America," pointing out all the ways in which the U.S. government is outsourcing infrastructure jobs that could go to the American people. The group's first stop: San Francisco Bay Bridge.
The San Francisco Business Times observed that AAM had called the bridge a "failure," and quoted AAM Executive Director Scott Paul on the reasoning behind the billboards:
"The decision to outsource steel in China is having consequences" for the U.S. economy, said Scott Paul, executive director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing. "We think it was the wrong call."
The Business Times thought the campaign had picked a "curious time to protest," with the bridge almost "90 percent complete." But Paul explained the reasoning behind the effort:
"This is a forward looking campaign," said Paul. "We are using the Bay Bridge as a learning moment. California is contemplating $500 billion in infrastructure over the next decade or two. There are future decisions to be made. We want to influence those decisions. We don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past."

BELTON (September 20, 2013) == The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team waited 15 seasons to play its first on-campus home game, now the Cru finally gets that chance when Crusader Stadium opens with Saturday's non-conference showdown with Wesley College. The state-of-the-art facility was designed by nationally-renowned architectural firm Populous and has a seating capacity of 8,766 with overflow capability of holding 10,266 spectators. UMHB played its home games at nearby Tiger Field on the campus of Belton High School and the Cru posted a 78-12 record on its home field through the first 15 years of the program. Now UMHB has a stadium of its own to call home, creating an unprecedented buzz on campus and in the community.
"There is a real pressure to be successful and perform well," Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said. "The reality is that it's early in the year, but we want to establish a real home tradition. A lot of people are coming to see the new stadium, but they are going to see a heck of a football game, too."
The game itself will be a top five battle with UMHB coming in 2-0 overall and ranked fourth in the country by D3football.com. Wesley College is also 2-0 on the year and ranked fifth nationally by D3football.com. The two teams will be meeting for the ninth time overall with the all-time series tied 4-4. The Cru swept two meetings from the Wolverines last season, including a 32-20 home win in the Quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III National Championships. The two teams have met in the postseason seven times and Saturday's 6:00 PM kickoff should have a playoff feel to it, as well.
"I expect our guys to play at a fever pitch," Fredenburg said. "We have to get a good plan and go out and execute it because they are very well coached and extremely talented. Both of these programs also know each other very well."
Pre-game will feature a special stadium dedication ceremony and ribbon-cutting. There are also several other special events planned, including a post-game fireworks display. For more information on parking, traffic flow and game day events, please visit the following link: http://news.umhb.edu/article/game-day-instructions.
Saturday's game will also be broadcast live on K101.7 FM and through the station's web site with the pre-game show starting at 5:30 PM. UMHB will provide live video streaming and live statistics for the game with links to both available by clicking here: http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/umhb.portal. Saturday's game also kicks off a stretch that will see UMHB play its next four games at home after opening the season with road trips to California and New Jersey.

We describe the reversible self-folding of polymeric films into intricate three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic networks and investigate their utility as bio-inspired synthetic vasculature for in vitro tissue culture models. Our fabrication methodology relies on patterning of channels inside the films at the planar microfabrication stage followed by programmable self-folding of the two-dimensional patterned structures. Here self-folding action is enabled by stress gradients which develop in the films due to differential ultraviolet cross-linking and subsequent solvent conditioning. We achieved wafer-scale assembly of micropatterned geometries including helices, polyhedra and corrugated sheets. To demonstrate utility of such self-folded microfluidic devices we present localized chemical delivery of biochemicals in 3D to discrete regions of cells cultured on the curved self-assembled surfaces and in a thick, surrounding hydrogel. We believe that the devices can be used to mimic such natural self-assembled systems as leaves and tissues. Reference: M. Jamal et al., Nature Communications (2011; in press).
