Madoff Feeder Funds - Unprecedented Recovery from Largest Investment Fraud in History
Representation of two Madoff feeder funds that had collectively lost over $160 million of principal and several hundred million dollars of phantom profit in the wake of the largest investment fraud in history.

Herrick partner Arthur Jakoby ultimately orchestrated two settlements that will result in each of the funds' over 500 investors eventually recovering 100 percent of their principal investment and what is estimated to be a more than 40 percent - possibly as high as 60 percent - profit on their Madoff investment - arguably the most favorable outcome in the world for any investor who invested with Madoff through an investment feeder fund.

First off, let me explain why I'm writing this. Philadelphia is close to a championship, again. We've been there before, the hype is incredible, the excitement and electricity is in the air...everybody is waiting, almost painfully waiting, for that first pitch...for that first hit. Time wears on, every second seemingly slower and slower. Why does it matter so much to us Philadelphia Phaithful? Well, it's a big sports town. All of Pennsylvania is that way. Passionate. Knowledgable. Loyal. And...on some levels, a bit crazy. It is what it is.
A good question was asked of me yesterday. "What type of sports town is Philadelphia?" Well, the answer to that is a bit tricky. Go back 30-40 years, the answer was a lot simplier. It's a baseball town. Today though, not so much. Through the late 70's, 80's, 90's and this decade, the town has really attached itself to it's football team. Not saying there wasn't loyalty or a rabid fanbase there already, it was. But baseball was more prominent. Today, the quick and easy answer is..."Whoever is playing". And really, it's the truth. If you're an all Philadelphia fan, whatever sport is on you'll follow. Baseball, football, basketball, hockey...doesn't matter. You love it. Each of the teams here has a lot of history, a lot of great players have passed through here, and a lot of great memories have passed through the walls of our stadiums and complexes. It doesn't stop there though. Soccer and lacrosse have established strong roots here, and in 2010, Philadelphia will gain yet another professional sports team in the MLS. Myself, I'm an all-around fan. I love sports, I played them throughout my childhood, and in such gained a lot of friends and experiences that I would not trade for anything in the world. (also, if you wanna find more out about that, I have another entry about how I'm a Pennsylvania fan, not just Philly, and why).
So why is gaining a championship for this city so important? Will it really improve anybody's life besides the players, coaches, staff and owners of the team that gets it? Will it earn you more money in your paycheck? Will it make your food taste sweeter? Will you suddenly drop that 20 lbs you been wanting to but never seem to be able to do (or in my case, I'm trying to put on 15 lbs since I left college)? Will she finally be able to say yes to the big question? Will your boss give you that promotion? Will crime drop in the city? Will your house look better? To all the things that really really really matter in life...will any of those really improve? Will all of a sudden the city as a whole be better off and shown in a better light because one of our big 4 teams finally win a championship? The answer is no. So again, why is it so important? For me, I'll tell you why....
Because we're diehard fans. We like winners in this city. Hard to believe since we've had so few of them. Maybe there is a bit of a syndrome, when you're one of the great cities in the united states, yet the championships...compared to New York, compared to Boston, compared to Pittsburgh or Chicago or St. Loius.......seem so miniscule. Doesn't make those cities better, it just feels that way. This city and it's surrounding area provide so much to the country, offer so much in terms of culture, economy, agriculture, politics, history....everything really needed to sustain a country, Philadelphia and the surrounding area provide it's share. So in essence, we also want our teams to represent that. Of course, they haven't and in reality, they wouldn't anyways because teams aren't the base of our economy or culture or politics or any of that. They just exist to play here. But we still love them. Because we embrace them as one of our own, as part of that culture, that history. And in that sense, that's why we want them to win.
So it won't change our lives, it won't improve them in a true sense. But it will make us happy. For at least a day, it will make it impossible for us to not smile, exchange happiness and good will. Is it wrong it means that much to us? No. It's a great thing that at some level, all the population in this area can have something in common and be prideful in. For at least a little while, we can rejoice in something like this happening. And we can do it together, as a city and a culture.
Go Phillies.

Anyone and everyone can post your runs, cross-training, abdominal work, rest days, race plans, training questions, etc. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. There's a great mix of beginners and veterans, runners and walkers, and maniacs and returners (from injury, to running, to RWOL). We're all a little crazy here too! While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you'll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences. So, come on in, put your feet up and stay awhile (not literally)! And whoever is up first is welcome to start the thread and we definitely keep some weird hours around here.

by the way-Morning Moth
Good morning runners! Sunday: 4 miles 38:00 - 9:30 avg. pace - easy. It's a start. My shake out run was successful except I ran too fast but to be expected having chilled out all week. Some great games over the weekend, unfortunately most of my team's season came to an end. Run inspired!
Good morning Moth and IMP!
Cross training with P90X this afternoon.
Have a great Monday All
I burp in parking garages to assert my dominance
Good morning Moth, IMP, SC and all to follow.
The hills are alive with eau d' skunk this morning. Didn't see the little villain, but wow! Never did completely leave the critter's sphere of influence.
In addition to the olfactory challenge, it was another 30* morning. Can't wait to be able to complain of the heat and humidity.
7.23 easy miles to start the week.
Enjoy the day!

and here's a lovely WABBAJACK so that you can have as MANY as you want of WHATEVER you want!
i even had it wrapped. in, um, christmas paper as that's all there is in the house.
i feel like someone just gave me a brand new 10 speed bike — and it's just my feet!
I had a low mileage week myself. Actually the 2nd one in a row, but this was my lowest in months, maybe ever . But the fact that I got myself to get active Saturday and Sunday is encouraging. Saturday was a 5 miler on the treadmill at the gym and yesterday was 6.13 outside.
Today is my schedule weight lifting day, but I want to try and put some miles in before the workout too, if they weather is okay. 13 days until my Spartan Super event/race.
Personal Best:
2015 JW Corbett 18 Mile: 1st Place Overall
Mile: 7:03
13.1: 1:41:24
26.2: 3:44:21
morning, dailies! "-) feeeeling good. tops of my feet feeling a little funky...achy, but not awful but the corners of my mouth are all raw and chapped. i think that was drinking too much water, that fell from the sky? maybe.
easy-peasy-mac n cheesy p90xyoga today. give my joints a nice stretch.
ack. i have questions about yesterday, mr. moth...about form and endurance and stuff. but i'll think about what i wanna ask, and ask later today...instead of just spew it outta my head with a lot o weird tangients that don't make sense to anyone but me. :-)
imp - here's to your GREAT start up week. :-)
poppy - omg...30 and skunky. THAT is some forecast! bwahahahahahah!
LOL. Thanks, but I'll be sure to wait to open it until tomorrow Although I will say that a wabbajack is probably gonna take the cake as greatest gift ever lol
Funny that I use left over x-mas paper the rest of the year too. You should have seen my friends this weekend at the baby shower when they were unwrapping gifts with Santa and the gang on the paper.
Good morning all.
SRD for me today.
It's always fun to open up the forum and see what MPJ's outlook is. Always makes me smile.
Happy running!
5k: 20:43 (Mar-15) 10k: 43:16 (Apr-14) HM: 1:35:28 (May-15) M: 3:22:53 (Oct-15)
Good morning, all you running rays of sunshine!
No sunshine here - it's warm (49*!), but with high winds and rain expected by midday. I'll run after dropping DS at school - probably 6-8 miles. And we have martial arts class tonight.
14,000+ miles and still running rebounding from knee surgery!
Morning gang! SRD for me today. I figured I'd be relieved to have the day off after yesterday's fast-paced 16 miles, but here I am wishing I was out on the ol' blacktop getting some miles in. Hopefully I will feel this way tomorrow when I actually will be running. Conference week at my school, so I am about as unthrilled about that as possible. I know communication with parents is vital, but there are some parents that would probably file a complaint if I "communicated" what I really want to. There are one or two every year. Happy running!
PR: 5k- 18:46 (09/2015), 12k- 49:25 (05/2015), 13.1- 1:29 (04/2015), 26.2- 3:22 (10/2015)
Good morning!
I feel like I had one of the best weekends of running in a while Saturday: 5.25 mile progression run (15 min @ 9:50 pace, 15 @ 9:31, 15 @ 9:20, 2 @ 9:13, 2 @ 9:03, last minute at 8:34 pace) felt really good. Then Sunday I did 7 miles @ 10:00 pace outside. 38* but still got sweat in my eyeballs...awesome! It felt amazing to be off the 'mill.
This morning, back to the usual 5.1 miles @ 9:50 pace to finish out March. Wow...that flew by! SRD tomorrow...
Have a good one, everybody. The sun is shining!!
ack. i have questions about yesterday, mr. moth...about form and endurance and stuff. but i'll think about what i wanna ask, and ask later today...instead of just spew it outta my head with a lot o weird tangients that don't make sense to anyone but me. :-)
Quick question for you. Are you hinting at stride degradation? Where the issue isn't your form but your ability to maintain that form over distance / time?
oh no. it really IS tomorrow! ON april fools day. i thought you were psyching me out that it was really today and NOT tomorrow. oh no. i am a march 31st fool. fooled by a magic cat. wow.
ok. let's just pretend this never happened. that wasn't me singing up there. that was um, someone else. my um, bopplehead ganger me. yeah. her.
woah. yes! exactly. mr moth! how come i can hold that for almost 7 miles and then go all wimpy noodle in 8,9,10,11...oh-god-please-let-me-get-this-back 12? in the 10k race on saturday, i'm dying to see if i can hang on that long AND keep a good speedy pace. and that's what it's called? stride degradation?
Morning everyone.
USRD for me. A high fever and chills all day yesterday finally convinced me that maybe my body wants me to let it rest and fight off whatever I've got… Guess my first 200-mile month will need to be April...
So, all jacked up on cold meds and working away….
Have a great day everyone!
Nothing witty or clever to put here….
Probably upper body strength training today and no aerobic activity. Last week started Wednesday after vacation and I still managed 25.63 miles running and 103 miles biking.
Moth: I see where you were sick last week--glad you're feeling better.
We've had some much needed rain this weekend, that and DH and I doing some last minute fixings to our house, make for a busy weekend. That and I saw Noah--great movie, IMHO.
Today my RP and I are headed out to a trail where the 3 of us (my dog too) will head out for a 3 mile run
have a great day, all!!
7.57 miles done - 234.3 miles for the month. About 50 miles more than any month in the last year.
Got a short, slow slog-jog in this morning just to warm and stretch the quads. I have the Cooper Rive Bridge 10k this weekend so most of my miles for this week will come M-W. I think 3 miles on Thursday and nothing Friday is all the taper I need for a 10K. Plus, this race is notoriously crowded and as much a sight-seeing mission as a race.....well, except for the Kenyans.
The race organizers cap the registration at 40,000 people (38,500 regular and 1,500 charity) and it has sold out the last four years....so it should be interesting and fun!
Go the extra mile....it's never crowded
Good luck at Cooper River Ronda! I almost signed up for that one, maybe next year.
wow. is that what we look like, in a race? like sprinkles on a cookie. so many colors...so tiny!
where is cooper river bridge? :-)
Where all the runners live, apparently...
Well, it's Monday. Which means tomorrow is NOT Monday, so in the spirit of better days to come, happy Monday dailies!
3 on Sat, 12 on Sunday, and scheduled for 3 tonight. I was going to go before work this morning, but my legs were just too tight. Finished out last week with 31.55 miles overall, which is big for me. On track for 113 mile month Trickhog, hopefully you now feel REALLY accomplished, despite your setback with the fever. I'm impressed, if that counts for anything.
Good running the rest of you, get well to those who are still fighting spring bugs, and may our pavement get dry and all our injuries get better stat!
Ronda: OMG!! what a huge race!! Good luck on your 10K this weekend
Lawyersmom: great mileage!!
StepbyStep I haven't even run that far this year!!
Smokey (dog), RP and I made it through this perfect trail just in time for our 'heavy rain and wind' to hit--I love that--the nice feeling of just making it! The dog decided to bring some of the trail with him--on his paws, he rolled in a puddle, and them tried to give me and my friend 'thank you kisses' while in the car....totally funny, then totally filthy car....I love days like these.
The Cooper River Bridge is in Charleston SC. We have rented a place down there and brought family and friends to run with us. It should be a great weekend. SuperCrazy you can get there as quick as I can from Greenville. If you decide to run it next year be sure to book your house, condo, hotel early. Also, plan on cooking your own pasta Friday night......I have heard that all 40,000 runners plus their entourage will pack out any place that serves pasta
I heard of this race long before I was a runner and used to be shocked that anyone dare run over six miles and some of it up onto that big ol' bridge. Now, I can't wait to tackle it.
P90X Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper
7 miles 1:06:44 - 9:32 avg. pace - easy. I have no wind :<
Good running everyone!
I did a 5 mile run today with my brother. Finished up at 7:27/mile and felt good at the end. The last mile was mostly uphill and I ran it well.
"In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory there is a glory to be found if one has done his best." ― Eric Liddell
Hello dearest runners,
First of all, sorry about last night. I meant to respond to all the congrats around 8pm last night. The next thing I knew it was 3am, and I was laying on the sofa with the laptop still on my lap. My body just totally crushed, and collapsed. Friday and Saturday night I have slept about 5 hours all together. Last nights sleep was the best in a long time. Anyways, thanks again for the kind words.
Moth - Don't think I receive anything for being 3rd in my AG. Wish I would. Another great quote last night.
trick - I noticed you're having trouble with cold, or cold symptoms. Are you supplying your body with vitamin C? I eat like 1-2 oranges, 3-4 mandarins, an apple, a pear, and kiwis almost every single day, + a mixed berry fruit bowl every other day. I haven't had a cold in the last 2-3 years, and we have 2 small children, and they bring home all kinds of diseases from daycare/school. It might not going to work for you, but worth to give it a shot. Running, and a good load of v. C should strengthen your immune system very well. IMO. GET WELL REGARDLESS, and get your lazy butt out there!!!
mudpud - Try a half around July/August. The temperature might be in the upper 30's. Oh my, it's nice to be funny today.
Ronda - 40K people on a 10K race?! WOW!
Step - Beautiful mileage! What are you shooting for this year?
I'm a bachelor here till Saturday. My son is up in Indy with relatives, my DW and my princess are down in Clearwater, FL. So darn quiet around here. Really weird. Did 5 easy miles today, to see what's up with the legs. Not too bad. Quads are still killers right now, but the run eased them up a bit. Have a great week everybody!
Current PR's : Could be better.
"I used to be very conceited, but today I'm perfect."
setz, you just raced a marathon. REST! You earned it.
I was thinking the same thing! Those are pretty good splits for one day after 26.2!
One more thing. I'm about to surprise my 2 years old when he gets back from Indy.I think he's going to love it." WE'RE GONNA ROCK THIS TOWN, ROCK IT INSIDE OUT!"
Also, my beautiful little princess turned 6 years old a few days ago.
I know! You're absolutely right! But Moth, it was 65 out there, birds, and green grass. It's been a while. I did not mean to run today cross my heart, but it felt great though, and I cross my heart again.
Moth - When you did your marathons, did you race them all or some of them was just for fun?
The only marathons I didn't race were my debut, my "dress rehearsal" and the three Boston races.
Brandon - I saw your thread up there. With a sub 20 5K you shouldn't have any issues with a sub 45 10K. I'd love to hit a 10K real hard, but can't find any around here. 5 K's, 8 K's, 15 K's, but no 10k's. WTF?! I was also wondering if you do any longer distances?
I ran 2 days after my first marathon, big mistake I needed more rest so shame on you Setz, although you are probably stronger than me.
Thinking I'll do a 50k trail race, the same one Step is registered for. I'm not copying you honest, I just want the finisher's medal and cap, and it's training for Pikes Peak in August.
Said by someone who runs in the deep snow on the daily basis, and finishing a mountain half in 1:43, with a halfway healed Achilles. YOU ARE THE MAN JAY!
Go for the 50K! Train hard, and enjoy! I don't think you'd ever regret.

The one where Alice says thank you and goodbye...
Posted: September 29, 2012|
If this were the last episode of Friends, there would be a funny and touching retrospective now of all the best bits. We could laugh at how young they all looked at the beginning, different hair styles, dubious fashions, friendships and love affairs made and lost. Jobs and promotions won; others, like love affairs, lost too. Children born and grown; festivities planned and celebrated.
We got to love them, Joey, Rachel and Ross, Monica and Chandler. Like anything that runs for a long time, they become part of our lives and when the series ended, we all felt bereft for a while. What would we watch now? What would we talk about? Would Chandler and Monica live happily ever after?
So, you'll forgive me for being a little misty-eyed and allow me please, a smidgen of self indulgence when I try, similarly, in this the last episode of Alice Band, to recall the highlights of the last 11 years and say a few thank-yous.
Not one, but two surprise pregnancies; dirty weekends; balls, cocktail parties and fancy dinners; parades and passing outs; deployments and tours of duty; weekending it and living at home. It has been action packed and there have been significant people who have played a starring role and who must be acknowledged.
My beloved mother of course, who was so excited when I got this 'gig' and who religiously, every week, cut out my column from the WMN and stuck it in a scrap book and who passed the baton to my dear old dad, who has continued her efforts. The same beloved mother who travelled alone to America to help me when our fourth baby was due and who cooked and cleaned and looked after Hubby and the other three. The same beloved mother, who unbeknownst to us all only had weeks to live, and to my eternal regret for whom I was not there when she needed me most.
To Hubby, of course, without whom this way of life and therefore this diary, would not exist. A Navy wife or indeed a military wife is not the same as being a bog standard spouse. Our men go away for long periods and as soon as they do our children get bugs, our houses get leaks, white goods break down, cars blow up, we get ill, our loved ones die, pets become pests, money runs short. Sometimes simultaneously. Christmas must be planned though and nativities must be attended, ditto sports days, swimming galas and concerts. In short it is a never-ending catalogue of disasters and delight. A pendulum swing of ups and downs, which we must, generally speaking, face alone with fortitude and grit and failing that, the very best of friends and a monthly prescription of the best anti-depressants the NHS can buy. From the responses I received, I have not been alone in feeling like I have and I am very proud to have been given the voice for many other enduring women.
To my four fabulous children who have given me thousands of column inches and who, especially the first two, have borne with great resilience and good humour an unflinching exposé of their adolescence. Their education, friendships, welfare and well being have been my raison d'etre and yet, when I started this column back in 2000, I had only two young children. We lived in a modest bungalow and Hubby had got his first real promotion as a Naval Officer at the grand old age of 39. I wanted to mark the occasion. I thought it would mean first class travel and a lifestyle of perks. How innocent we all were then and how cut back and redundant we all are now.
To Mags who has been my staff and stay all these years and, when Hubby hasn't been here, she has. We have drunk inappropriate amounts of tea, coffee and wine together; eaten out when our bank accounts suggested we really shouldn't, laughed until we were dribbling and cried until we were ugly. She has advised, listened, harassed and banged on. She has child-minded when my marriage was in need of a life support system, has agreed with Hubby when I wouldn't but has always, always been unwavering in fighting my corner.
To my other friends too who have all played their part in supporting the family Band, feeding us, entertaining us, caring for us and rooting for us and who, at various times were privy to the heinously embarrassing scrapes that I've got into over the years and who are still happy to call themselves our friends.
To the Royal Navy for providing us with an excellent standard of living, adventures abroad and at home; for providing Hubby with a career that he was immensely proud to be part of and me, with an endless supply of stories and characters who I plundered, mercilessly.
We'll get over not being with each other every Saturday. Like 'Friends', something else will take its place. You may wonder did the Rock Star ever get into the Navy? Did the brainy one get into Oxford? Did the ten year old pass her 11+? Did the Red-Head ever toe the party line? And more pressingly, did Commander Band find another career that he loved as much as he did his beloved Royal Navy?
The adventure is far from over, but for now, in the words of Porky Pig – which is a rather unflattering final portrait of me – 'That's all Folks'.

The spring sunshine is not set to break through in the south-east for quite some time and the view from my desk at work is rather dull. So to cheer up a grey Friday and bank holiday weekend, which I would have liked to have spent in a sunny Cambridge with a delicious picnic, but the weather looks set to ruin that plan. Instead I have used my nails as a canvas to paint a little Spring picnic.
It's a little fiddly to create but I love the finished outcome. I'll be spending the summer perfecting this. I got the idea and technique from Pinterest. This is how I did it;
The key items you will need are, a base coat, a colour for the gingham pattern, scotch tape (or similar, selotape will not work) and a clear top coat to hold the design in place.
Before you start painting your nails paint a length of tape with the colour you would like your gingham pattern. This takes quite a while to dry.
While the tape is drying, paint your nails with your base colour. Once dry, take sharp nail scissors and cut small strips of the painted tape. Dab with your finger at the edge to check the paint on the tape is dry before cutting. If it is still tacky wait a little longer. Cut horizontally across the tape.
Using tweezers place the strip on the nail you would like to create the pattern.
I used 7 strips on each nail. Depending on how thick you cut the strips and the size of your nails you may need to alter the number of strips you use. The strip are likely to be a little longer that your nails.
Using nail scissors cut the overhanging pieces of tape once you have stuck all the strips down. Then finish off your spring picnic nails with a clear top coat and there you have it...a design that will put Spring in your step.
What do you think? Will you be trying this, this Spring?

Spanish photographer recognized winner of International awards: "I was hooked on black and white photography years ago, the first time I saw some Cartier Bresson photographs . I couldn't believe the subtlety possible in a monochrome medium. Robbed of distracting colours, the composer is force to create a focus point from texture, shadow and form. Suddenly less becomes more, and what you leave out of the frame can be as important as what you include. Often what makes a good photograph is more about what comes out of your head than what is in front of your eyes."

Advocating for equal opportunity for and with the 20% of Minnesotans who are deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing
How MNCDHH Makes a Difference
MNCDHH makes influencing public policy and technology access and service delivery to children and adults who are deaf, deafblind or hard of hearing a priority. We work to make sure the state's online services are accessible to all.
MNCDHH and the state's Office of Enterprise Technology (OET) have co-produced accessible video-based training resources to help State of Minnesota employees, vendors, and customers learn about the state's information technology (IT) accessibility standards and how to meet them.
Get started now to learn how to make your online information, websites, and applications accessible.
These resources are made accessible through open captions, voiceovers, and Microsoft Word transcripts of audio content with video descriptions included.
MCDHH led, along with the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities and State Services for the Blind, in passing legislation that created Level AA Web Content Access Guideline Standards and 508 standards for all state websites, hardware and software. In other words, the legislation, the strongest in the U.S. currently, requires full accessibility for all people.
The Minnesota Disabilities Agencies Forum set the goal of having accessible state websites and hardware.
Colleen Wieck of the Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities brought together a group that tried to convince the Office of Enterprise Technology to voluntarily adopt Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1978 and the Web Content Access Guidelines 2.0 as standards for the state.
In September Commissioner Gopal Khanna officially adopted Section 508 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA as the standard with Level AAA as preferred. This is one of the highest accessibility standards in the country.
A link with more information about standards will be posted here when it becomes available.
The legislation was funded by a Telecommunications Access Fund and America Recovery and Reinvestment Act appropriation without raising the TAM phone tax. The funds allocated for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 were:
The Technology Accessibility Advisory Committee was extended to 2013 and $800,000 was allocated from the TAM fund for the biennium (less than .1% of the $361 million that the Executive Branch spends annually on IT needs). The funds will be used for the following:
Having accessibility or usability problems with any Minnesota state government website or software? Or have you used a state Web site or software that works especially well for people with disabilities? We want to hear about your experiences. Visit the Minnesota E-Government Accessibility/Usability Compliments and Concerns Line
MCDHH organized presentations on Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 at the 2009 Minnesota Government Information Technology Symposium and the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Technology Conference in 2010. Currently MCDHH is getting ready to present a workshop on video captioning at the 2010 Minnesota Government Information Technology Sympossium
MCDHH participated in the Department of Public Safety's (DPS) NEXT GEN 911 Advisory Committee and convinced the department to make the transition from analog to digital service for 911 accessible to deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing people. MCDHH coordinated meetings between DPS and community members to ensure that DPS understood the importance of accessibility. For more information, please visit Minnesota's 911 website
MCDHH has worked with the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Department of Human Services in creating a pilot program that provides Deaf Mentors services through the Web in Greater Minnesota and the Metro area to increase service provision to families who are learning sign language. The Great Plains Telehealth Resource and Assistance Center assisted in developing the plan and an evaluation of the pilot program. A small-scale pilot program is underway in Duluth. The results will be evaluated and apply the lessons learned from the pilot to the development of a statewide plan. We hope this pilot will lead to the full array of services that families need for their child to succeed being offered in their own home.
Tom Lehman, Commission member, participated in the Blandin Foundation conference, Broadband 2010, held in the Brainerd area in mid-October. He was part of a panel focused on underserved populations for broadband, speaking on the opportunities broadband use holds for people with disabilities and the unique challenges to realizing those opportunities.
Tom reports that access to broadband services is quickly becoming a baseline infrastructure element alongside others such as dependable power and effective transportation systems. As such, Minnesota has set a goal of reaching all residents and business with broadband access as soon as possible but no later than 2015 with service that provides a minimum of 10 megabits download and 5 megabits upload capacity. These are minimum requirements and are likely to be considered barely adequate within a few years. Hopefully most areas will have higher speed services available. Outstate deployment of broadband is taking advantage of fiber optic technologies to deliver high speed service options to businesses and residents that often surpass that which is available in urban areas.
High speed access would meet the video and audio requirements of many assistive technologies used by deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing individuals. Many of these technologies are expensive to acquire and complex to set up and use. Beyond the higher speed networks, there needs to be educational and financial resources to enable people to take advantage of these capabilities.

Are you a glitter fan? I love it seeing it in use, but I have problems working it into my own designs so I don't use it often. But Stampin' Up! came out with great Black & Orange Stampin' Glitter and Gold & Silver Stampin' Glitter in the new Holiday Catalog. It's irresistible, so I had to challenge myself to use it.
Here is the first result – a very simple Halloween card. Instead of going with the traditional "scary" images, I thought I'd just use a simple geometric design and add glitter to the greeting for my first attempt. It's a very popular card at my house, I hope you like it too.
Wondering how to stamp an image with glitter? You'll love it – all you need is your Versamark ink pad, heat tool and Heat & Stick Powder. Stamp your image with the versamark, sprinkle with Heat & Stick Powder (make sure you remove the excess so you don't end up with glitter in places you don't want it) and heat it, when it is shiny the glitter will stick. Sprinkle the glitter over it, remove the excess and give it a little more heat to set it. You can add glitter to any stamped image in just seconds!
Another easy way to add glitter to your projects is with the Two-Way Glue Pen. Add highlights to a stamped image, draw in snow drifts on white cardstock or snowflake dots in the sky. If you want a solid stripe of glitter, adhere Sticky Strip to your project and sprinkle glitter on it.
Try some glitter today, you and your friends will love it!
Card ingredients: Stamps: Tags 4 You (wood, clear). Ink: Versamark, Basic Black. Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black. Ingredients: Black & Orange Stampin' Glitter, Heat & Stick Powder, Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Hexagon and Label Bracket Punches, Heat Tool, Big Shot.

The Wentworth Group invests in building the capacity of our next generation of natural resource scientists, economists, lawyers and business people, to shape policy for Australia's land, water and marine resources.
For more information on our science program.
Wentworth Group Science Program Scholarships
The Wentworth Group has established a science leaders program to enhance the ability of post-graduate students, scientists, lawyers and economists to engage in public policy on the future of our land, water, coasts and biodiversity.
Participants in the program are given the opportunity to work one-on-one with members of the Wentworth Group in order to apply their knowledge to public policy outcomes. It is a two-way process, where Wentworth Group members have the chance to learn from participants about the latest cutting edge research and on-the-ground issues. Run by Professor Bruce Thom and Dr Ronnie Harding, the science program has two core components: the Mentoring Program; and the annual Master Class.
Since its inception in 2002, the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists has been active in advancing solutions to secure the long term health of Australia's environment.
Comprised of eminent scientists and thinkers, the Group has three core objectives:
- Driving innovation in the management of Australia's land, water, coasts and biodiversity;
- Engaging business, community and political leaders in a dialogue to find and implement solutions to the challenge of environmental stewardship facing the future of Australian society; and
- Building capacity by mentoring and supporting young natural resources scientists and resource economists to develop their skills and understanding of public policy.
The Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists is offering scholarships to participate in the 2016 Wentworth Group science program. This is an opportunity for Australian postgraduate students to assist them in bridging the gap between science and public policy
These scholarships are intended to inspire and motivate. Students studying science, economics, geography, philosophy, law and/or engineering (especially those majoring in environmental science/studies/management/law or ecology) are encouraged to apply.
The scholarship funds are used for:
- Direct mentoring with Wentworth Group Members; and
- Expenses to cover participation at the 2016 Wentworth Group Master Class.
Note – the scholarship cannot be used as a stipend
We are seeking students committed to advancing solutions that will secure the long term health of Australia's land, water, coasts and biodiversity.
Applications will open early 2016.
For further details, please email email@example.com.
The science program is made possible by the generous support of the Purves Environmental Fund.

text: Δv/v = Δr/r what is the v and r denominator? I know they both refers to velocity and acceleration respectively but exactly which vector? Base on geometric interpretation, →vector 1 + Δv = →vector 2. v is a magnitude but exactly which magnitude are we referring to? Also it states that the limit Δt→0,Δv and the acceleration Δv/Δt becomes exactly perpendicular, how so?
