If Samuel Berendsen's resolution was to win a race in 2014, he wasted little time in accomplishing that goal.
Four days into the new year, the 19-year-old runner placed first out of a field of 349 in the Yates-Astro Resolution 5K in a time of 17:00. That was 5 seconds ahead of second-place Drew Rabun, 33. Jonathan Fenske, 44, was third in 18:34.
It was all teens on the women's side with Grace Norman, 15, taking top honors in 20:26, followed by Sarah Glover, 15, in second (21:10) and 18-year-old Bethany Norman in third (21:14).
Tony Murphy, 42, won the men's masters title in 18:46, while 64-year-old Jenny Kyle continued to belie her age by topping the women's masters field in 23:26.

However, if the First Amendment has any meaning, it is that the government cannot suppress the free speech because it – or anyone else – disagrees with the speech. The arbitrary denial of one organization's message on an issue that affects citizens throughout the state puts at risk the right of all organizations to communicate their messages. When the government decides who may speak based on substantive criteria, it acts as a censor. To guard against the danger that the government will impermissibly use its power to censor disfavored speech, the First Amendment requires careful scrutiny of rules restricting speech. This is true even if the speech takes place on the government's own property. Although the level of scrutiny applied to restrictions on speech on government property varies depending on the nature of the property involved, in no event may the government grant the use of its property to people whose views it finds acceptable but deny use to those wishing to express less favored or more controversial views. If the State Building Commission1 intentionally opened the Herschler Gallery to nonprofit organizations' speech designed to influence legislators, including in the form of booths and displays, it is prohibited from excluding the WyFA's message, regardless of viewpoint. This Court should hold that the Herschler Gallery is a designated public forum and that the exclusion of WyFA's display was unreasonable, and infringed on WyFA's rights to freedom of expression guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. Only if this Court determines that the government did not designate the space as a forum 1 Hereinafter referred to as the government. Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 4 of 15 in which nonprofit organizations seek to influence legislators, is the viewpoint inquiry necessary. As WyFA has ably outlined how the government engaged in viewpoint discrimination, amicus will confine itself to arguing that the government's exclusion of WyFA's display violated the First and Fourteenth Amendment's because it was unreasonable and because the Herschler Gallery is a limited public forum. As these important constitutional concerns have not been adequately raised during the process of these proceedings, we feel it is crucial to provide the court with analysis. INTEREST OF AMICUS The interest of amicus curiae is set forth in the accompanying motion for leave to file this brief, and is not repeated here. ARGUMENT I. THE GOVERNMENT'S EXCLUSION OF WYFA'S DISPLAY WAS NOT REASONABLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE DISPLAY WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE HERSCHLER GALLERY. The government does not have to grant access to "all who wish to exercise their right to free speech on every type of [public] property without regard to the nature of the property or to the disruption that might be caused by the speaker's activities."2 The reasonableness of the government's exclusion of speech depends on the purpose of the space from which it is excluded.3 For the restriction to be reasonable, the excluded speech must actually interfere with the forum's stated purposes.4 What matters to the reasonableness inquiry is not whether the 2 Cornelius v. NAACP Legal Defense & Educ. Fund, Inc., 473 U.S. 788, 799–800 (1985). 3 Summum v. Ogden, 297 F.3d 995, 1003 (10th Cir. 2002). 4 Cornelius, 473 U.S. at 830. 2 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 5 of 15 excluded speech reasonably falls into a category of banned speech, or even whether the ban itself is reasonable, but whether the government's justification for banning the speech at issue is reasonable "'in light of the characteristic nature and function of the particular forum involved.'"5 To support a determination that a restriction on speech in a non-public forum is reasonable, "there must be evidence that the restriction reasonably fulfills a legitimate need." 6 It is not enough to determine that the government's policy banning a category of speech is reasonable;7 the court must also assess the reasonableness of the application of the policy to the excluded speech at issue. The burden is on the government to prove that its rules and its application of the rules in fact serve a legitimate interest of the state.8 The government here may assert that it has a legitimate interest in avoiding disruption. Members of the public expressed concern and made inflamed telephone calls to Cathcart's office. However, there is no evidence that these comments by more sensitive members of society interfered with the use of the forum's purpose. 5 Summum v. Callaghan, 130 F.3d 906, 915 n.13 (10th Cir. 1997), quoting Heffron v. International Soc'y for Krishna Consciousness, Inc., 452 U.S. 640, 650-51 (1981). 6 Sammartano v. First Judicial Circuit Court, 303 F.3d 959, 967 (9th Cir. 2002). 7 The ACLU does not believe that the SBC Display Policy is reasonable, as it is vague, contains virtually no guidance or standards to determine how to enforce the policy, and risks the exclusion of speech due to arbitrary discrimination. 8 United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Local 1099 v. Southwest Reg. Transit Auth., 163 F.3d 341, 357 (6th Cir. 1998) ("SORTA"). 3 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 6 of 15 The government may also state a desire to maintain neutrality on controversial issues9 as a legitimate interest, but permitting WyFA's display does not engage the government in controversial issues. Rather, it provides a forum in which an organization may educate legislators about its position on an issue. Nothing about WyFA's display would cause a legislator or citizen to believe that the government was endorsing the organization's message or taking sides on a controversial issue. Moreover, organizations who erect displays in the Herschler Gallery commonly seek to influence legislators on one side or the other of bills before the legislature. The similarity of the purpose of WyFA's speech (to influence legislators) and its display (posters), to that of other organizations, the lack of interference with the purpose of the forum, and the lack of risk that the government would be associated with a controversial issue, demonstrate that the advertisement is compatible with the purposes of the forum. II. THE GOVERNMENT'S CONTENT-BASED EXCLUSION OF WYFA'S DISPLAY IS SUBJECT TO HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY BECAUSE THE HERSCHLER GALLERY IS A DESIGNATED PUBLIC FORUM, AND THE DISPLAY WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE PURPOSE OF THE FORUM. A designated public forum is created because the government intentionally does so.10 Whether the government intended to designate the Herschler Gallery as a public forum is gauged 9 The State Building Commission Display Policy states that "Approval by SBC Secretary. SBC Advised of All Displays. Controversial Displays -Secretary Will Flag or Personally Discuss Requests with Governor's Office." Doc. 01-main, ¶ 31; Doc. 02-3 (emphasis added). 10 Cornelius, 473 U.S. at 802. 4 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 7 of 15 by its policies and practices in using the space and also the nature of the property and its compatibility with expressive activity.11 The imposition of some restrictions on the use of the forum does not preclude creation of a public forum, but may demonstrate that the government intends to create a limited public forum, open only to certain kinds of expression.12 But even in a limited public forum, the constitutionality of a restriction on expression that is consistent with the forum's purpose is determined using the more rigorous public forum standard.13 Exclusions of speech that otherwise comport with the purpose of the forum are subject to strict scrutiny while restrictions on speech that fall outside the general purpose for which the government opened the forum need only be reasonable and viewpoint-neutral.14 The 11 Hawkins v. City & County of Denver, 170 F.3d 1281, 1286-87 (10th Cir 1999). 12 Summum v. Callaghan, 130 F.3d 906, 916 (10th Cir.1997). 13 Pleasant Grove City, Utah v. Summum, 555 U.S. 460, 470 (2009); Cornelius, 473 U.S. at 800. 14 See Arkansas Educ. Television Comm'n v. Forbes, 523 U.S. 666, 677 (1998) ("If the government excludes a speaker who falls within the class to which a designated public forum is made generally available, its action is subject to strict scrutiny."); Cornelius, 473 U.S. at 806 (speaker may be excluded from limited public forum only "if he is not a member of the class for whose especial benefit the forum was created"); Perry Educ. Ass'n v. Perry Educators' Ass'n, 460 U.S. 37, 48 (1983) (once limited forum has been created, entities of "similar character" to those allowed access may not be excluded); Zalaski v. City of Bridgeport Police Dept., 613 F.3d 336, 342 (2d Cir. 2010) ("In a limited public forum, strict scrutiny does not apply to expressive activities outside the general purpose for which the government opened the forum. Restrictions 5 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 8 of 15 government has, in practice, opened up the Herschler Gallery to nonprofits and state organizations seeking to influence legislators on current legislation. There is no evidence in the record that WyFA's display has interfered with the ability of organizations to communicate their messages and to attempt to influence legislators. The nature of the Herschler Gallery, coupled with the government's practice of permitting organizations to set up displays, establishes that the government has dedicated the space to expressive activity similar to that of WyFA. Accordingly, the government's removal of the display violated the First Amendment rights of WyFA unless it was narrowly tailored to a compelling governmental interest. A. The Government's Past Practice Demonstrates that It Has Intentionally Opened the Forum to Displays Like WyFA's Posters. The government's statement of its intent alone does not resolve the public forum question.15 Instead, forum classification must be examined according to the circumstances of the on activities outside the established purpose of the forum need only be reasonable and viewpoint neutral."); ACLU v. Mote, 423 F.3d 438, 444 (4th Cir. 2005) ("Once a limited or designated public forum is established, the government cannot exclude entities of a similar character to those generally allowed."); United States v. Goldin, 311 F.3d 191, 196 (3d Cir. 2002) ("the constitutionality of a restriction on expressive activity that is consistent with a limited public forum's purpose is determined using the more rigorous public forum standard"); see generally Marc Rohr, The Ongoing Mystery of the Limited Public Forum, 33 Nova L. Rev. 299, 326-27 (2009) (explaining that two levels of scrutiny apply to speech excluded from limited public fora). 15 Hopper v. City of Pasco, 241 F.3d 1067, 1075 (9th Cir. 2001) (in gauging whether government established designated public forum, "[w]hat matters is what the government actually does — 6 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 9 of 15 particular case and should be evaluated based on what the government does. When it comes to intent, the government's "actual practice speaks louder than words."16 This factual inquiry ensures that the state has not created a vague policy in order to justify suppression of a particular message. A written policy must be consistently enforced in practice if it is to have any weight in determining the government's intent to open a channel for expressive communication.17 Here, the government's policy merely says that "Posters, Banners, etc., are Not to be Attached to Buildings or Fixtures." The unprincipled application of its written policy and lack of clear standards for inclusion and exclusion in the forum make it impossible to glean any intent from the government's written policy. The government's intent to designate the Herschler Gallery as a forum for speech like that of WyFA must instead be judged by its past practice in accepting similar displays. 1. The Government's Practice Has Been to Permit Displays of Nonprofit and State Organizations like WyFA. specifically, whether it consistently enforces the restrictions on the use of the forum that it adopted"); SORTA, 163 F.3d at 352 ("[w]e do not believe [government]'s stated intent to operate its advertising space as a non-public forum, without more, is dispositive. 16 Grace Bible Fellowship, Inc. v. Maine Sch. Admin. Dist. No. 5, 941 F.2d 45, 47 (1st Cir. 1991). 17 See, e.g., Hopper, 241 F.3d at 1076 ("A policy purporting to keep a forum closed (or open to expression only on certain subjects) is no policy at all for purposes of public forum analysis if, in practice, it is not enforced or if exceptions are haphazardly permitted."). 7 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 10 of 15 Determining whether the government's past use of the Herschler Gallery demonstrates an intent to open the space as a forum for speech like the WyFA display is an inherently factual inquiry. The objective evidence in this case reveals that the government's past practice was to permit the erection of booths/displays by nonprofit and state organizations seeking to influence legislators and thus it intended to open up the space to displays like that of WyFA. As detailed in WyFA's brief, the government granted authorization to numerous displays sponsored by nonprofit and government groups. Because of the risk that government officials will use their discretion to interpret an ambiguous policy as a pretext for censorship, closer scrutiny is required when the government bans speech under such a protean standard.18 Accordingly, when the government follows "an ad hoc policy where the acceptability of an advertisement depends on the whim of the decisionmaker," as government has, there is a presumption that a public forum has been created.19 18 See Hopper, 241 F.3d at 1077-78 ("Absent objective standards, government officials may use their discretion to interpret the policy as a pretext for censorship. Therefore, 'the more subjective the standard used, the more likely that the category will not meet the requirements of the First Amendment.'") (quoting Cinevision Corp. v. City of Burbank, 745 F.2d 560, 575 (9th Cir. 1984)) (internal citations omitted); Hopper, 241 F.3d at 1080 (in absence of objective criteria set out in advance, "we must scrutinize [government's] actual practice all the more closely for apparent inconsistency or abuse in enforcing the policy"); SORTA, 163 F.3d at 352. 19 SORTA, 163 F.3d at 353 n.6 (evidence that governmental entity "has not consistently followed its written policy, but instead has maintained an ad hoc policy where the acceptability of an advertisement depends on the whim of the decision-maker... strongly suggest[s] that [entity] has 8 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 2. Filed 01/23/12 Page 11 of 15 The Government Cannot Distinguish WyFA's Display from Speech Permitted in the Forum by Labeling its Content "Controversial." The government has no guidelines for deciding what constitutes a controversial display, and the term "controversial" is not "immediately obvious" or "self-defining," so the court must look past labels and compare the excluded display with other displays that the government has permitted.20 The government has opened the forum to displays that, like WyFA's posters, are designed to persuade legislators on matters of current legislation, but purportedly rejected WyFA's display simply because it resulted in messages of concern and inflamed phone calls. The appearance of viewpoint discrimination is heightened by the government's lack of guidelines for determining what constitutes a controversial display. Given the lack of any definition of "controversial display" in the policy, and the similarity of WyFA's display to other displays approved for the Herschler Gallery, support the conclusion that the Herschler Gallery is a designated public forum for speech like WyFA's display. B. WYFA'S DISPLAY, WHICH WAS INTENDED TO INFLUENCE LEGISLATORS ABOUT MATTERS OF CURRENT LEGISLATION, WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE FORUM'S PURPOSE. created a public forum"). 20 Airline Pilots Ass'n Int'l, 45 F.3d 1144, 1154 n.7 (7th Cir. 1995)(instructing district court to compare excluded advertisement to ones previously displayed to determine if content is similar, rather than rely on government's assertion that advertisement violated policy barring "political" speech because "content of the word 'political' is not immediately obvious"). 9 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 12 of 15 "The decision of the Government to limit access to the [forum] is not dispositive in itself; instead, it is relevant for what it suggests about the Government's intent in creating the forum." 21 Equally important to the determination of the government's intent is the compatibility of the excluded speech with the purpose of the forum.22 Typically, no intent will be found if the principal function of the property would be disrupted by expressive activity. 23 On the other hand, "courts will infer an intent on the part of the government to create a public forum where the government's justification for the exclusion of certain expressive conduct is unrelated to the forum's purpose" because of the heightened potential for government censorship in those situations.24 As an initial matter, the government's use of the Herschler Gallery to permit organizations to attempt to influence legislators through expressive activity suggests that the government has dedicated the space to expression in the form of booths and displays. Clearly, this expressive use has not interfered with the government's provision of providing space to 21 Cornelius, 473 U.S. at 805. 22 See id. at 802-04 (court examines not only policy and practice of government but also nature of property and its compatibility with expressive activity to discern government's intent); SORTA, 163 F.3d at 350 ("Discerning whether the government permits general access to public property or limits access to a select few does not end our inquiry, however, for we must also assess the nature of the forum and whether the excluded speech is compatible with the forum's multiple purposes). 23 Cornelius, 473 U.S. at 804. 24 SORTA, 163 F.3d at 341, 351-52. 10 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 13 of 15 organizations, as the government would not have opened the space to organizations' speech in the first place, or would have discontinued its practice. The relevant question, then, is whether WyFA's display is compatible with the purpose of the Herschler Gallery, as judged by the government's previous approval of similar displays and the relationship between the forum's purpose and the government's justification for excluding WyFA's display. If it is, then that suggests that the government intended to open the space to speech like that of WyFA's display. The government's practice has been to accept displays like WyFA's posters. Most importantly, however, the government cannot that mere concern and inflamed phone calls make WyFA's display any less compatible with the purpose of the forum than any of the posters that have been displayed. In Cornelius, for example, the Supreme Court held that the exclusion of advocacy groups from a federal workplace charitable solicitation campaign was reasonable because it was adopted to avoid interruptions to the performance of the duties of employees.25 And in Arkansas Educational Television Commission, the Court held that limits on the number of candidates allowed to participate in a televised political debate were reasonable due to the logistical impossibility of accommodating everyone.26 By contrast, there is no evidence that "the principal function of the property would be disrupted by expressive activity" of the sort that WyFA wishes to engage in.27 25 Cornelius, 473 U.S. at 806. 26 Arkansas Educ. Television Com'n v. Forbes, 523 U.S. 666, 680-81 (1998). 27 Cornelius, 473 U.S. at 804. 11 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 14 of 15 The government's sole basis for removing WyFA's display – expressions of concern and phone calls, in response to what the government might subjectively deem a controversial display – amounts to viewpoint discrimination, which is not a legally permissible basis for deeming a display incompatible with the forum's purpose. C. THE GOVERNMENT'S REMOVAL OF WYFA'S DISPLAY WAS NOT NARROWLY TAILORED TO A COMPELLING GOVERNMENTAL INTEREST. Because the government has designated the Herschler Gallery as a public forum for speech similar to WyFA's display, content-based restrictions on speech in the forum must pass strict scrutiny consistent with the First Amendment.28 The government may not grant the use of a forum to speech it finds acceptable, but deny use for less favored or more controversial speech. Accordingly, the government's removal of the WyFA display violated WyFA's constitutional rights unless the government can show that it had a compelling interest in removing the display and that its decision was narrowly tailored to that interest. Given the lack of any evidence that the public's expressions of concern and phone calls would interfere with the government's provision of public space for organizations seeking to influence legislators, the only justification the government has for excluding the display is what the government might assert is a controversial message. Because excluding the display "based on ... the limited possibility of 28 Perry Education Assn. v. Perry Local Educators' Assn., 460 U.S. 37, 45-46 (1983); International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Inc. v. Lee, 505 U.S. 672, 678, 112 S.Ct. 2701, 120 L.Ed.2d 541 (1992). 12 Case 2:12-cv-00001-NDF Document 24 Filed 01/23/12 Page 15 of 15 controversy fails this historically stringent test," the government's removal of the display violates the First Amendment.29 CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Amicus urges this court to hold that the Herschler Gallery has been opened as a designated public forum and that the exclusion of WyFA's display was unreasonable, and infringed on WyFA's rights to freedom of expression guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. In the alternative, this Court should find that the government engaged in impermissible viewpoint discrimination in excluding WyFA's display. Dated this 17th day of January, 2012.

Where To Find Help With Personal Bankrupcy
Bankruptcy can be stressful and it can also bring relief. You do have to sort through all of your finances and interact with a lot of people in the financial part of your life. Yet, once this process is done, you can breathe again because debt collectors will stop calling you. Keep reading for a few smart suggestions for making bankruptcy a smoother process.
Be prepared for the possibility that your bankruptcy filing could be denied by the court. If you are prepared for everything beforehand, then you will be ready for anything that comes your way, even if your car or home is taken away from you.
You can stop unwanted calls from creditors in debt collectors by filing for personal bankruptcy. Debt that you can no longer control can be overwhelming. Bankruptcy protection may be a good way to keep things under control while you sort out your financial difficulties.
Make sure you monitor the activities of your lawyer while your bankruptcy case is pending. It is important to know the status of your case and you should not be hesitant to ask questions. It is not impossible for a busy firm to make mistakes occasionally. No matter what you hear, lawyers are just as human as you.
Don't avoid telling your lawyer specific details with your case. Do not assume that if you've already told him or her something important once, that they will remember it later without a reminder. All information submitted to the court with your signature needs to be double checked.
Think through your decision to file for bankruptcy carefully before going ahead with it. Debt advisors are one of the many other avenues you can consider. Your credit score will be forever effected by bankruptcy, which is why you should do everything else in your power to resolve matters first.
If you are in a position where you are unable to pay your debts, bankruptcy may be the only option for you. If you find yourself going through this, you should know all about the laws that are in your state. Bankruptcy laws vary from state to state. For example, the personal home is exempt from being touched in some states, but not in others. Know what the laws are in your state before filing.
Secured Cards
Be aware that getting unsecured credit is going to be tough once you've gone through bankruptcy. If that's the case, it is beneficial to apply for one or even two secured cards. This will prove that you want to improve your credit score. When you have done well with secured cards for a while, you should be able to obtain an unsecured credit card.
Don't let shame consume you during the bankruptcy process. Going through bankruptcy can cause you to lose a lot of self-esteem. Although dealing with a bankruptcy is stressful, try to focus on the positive. Try to keep a positive attitude during this tough time and you will be able to better cope with bankruptcy.
Make sure your home is safe. Filing for bankruptcy will not always result in losing your home. Depending on whether the value of your home has decreased or if you have a second mortgage on the home, you may end up keeping it. There are also homestead exemptions which, depending on your other finances, may allow to remain in your home.
If you are going to declare bankruptcy, hire a lawyer first. A good lawyer can properly advise you about the necessity of following through, simply a complicated process for you, and represent you when you need to go to court. Your attorney may also help you with any questions you may have, as well as assist you in completing the paperwork you need to complete.
Realize that bankruptcy may be better for you when it comes to your credit. Continuing to miss your payments can be really bad on your debt. Your credit report will show your bankruptcy for the next ten years, but it will also allow you to start working towards repairing your credit immediately. A great feature of bankruptcy is its ability to provide consumers with a clean financial slate.
Bankruptcy is a process that has both benefits and drawbacks. Doing some research is the best way to choose the most adapted solution. Apply the tips from this article to help make your bankruptcy an easier process. Utilize these tips and let them guide you towards a stress-free financial future.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
DeMicco, Mike
DeMicco, Mike, guitarist, composer; b. 21 May 1957. He began his music studies on clarinet in the elementary school band and switched to guitar at age 11. Although neither of Mike1s parents played music professionally, there was always enough music going on in the house for him to be positively influenced while growing up. His mother, Barbara, was an only child whose parents emigrated from Russia and traded horses. She studied piano as a child, preferring the great American songbook to her early classical studies, and later taught elementary school. Mike's father, Tony, was a first-generation Italian-American whose father emigrated from Naples to work in the brickyards along the Hudson River near Kingston, NY. Tony was a truck driver who enjoyed strumming the guitar. Mike's aunt and uncle played guitars and sang on a local country and western radio show in the 1950s.
Mike DeMicco's expansive embrace of music has led him to work with prominent artists in many genres. He has toured the world extensively since 1980, performing and recording with a diverse cross-section of jazz, blues and popular artists, including Dave Brubeck, The Brubeck Brothers Quartet, Jack DeJohnette, Nick Brignola, Warren Bernhardt, Lee Shaw, Rory Block, James & Livingston Taylor, Professor "Louie" and The Crowmatix, and many others. Mike's selected performance highlights include appearances on PBS and NPR; at the major European and North American jazz festivals; and at prestigious clubs and venues such as The Kennedy Center, Ronnie Scott1s, LA's Jazz Bakery, The Blue Note, Birdland, The Five Spot, The Bottom Line, Wolf Trap, Great American Music Hall, and BB King's.
Besides being an in-demand sideman, Mike has led his own jazz group since 1987, and also co-leads an organ trio with Hammond B-3 player Pete Levin.
When he's not working with his own group, Mike is guitarist and composer with the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, led by Chris and Dan Brubeck. Mike co-produced the BBQ's new release, Intuition (Blue Forest), which includes two of his compositions, "West of One" and "Open Door." He has toured the U.S. with the BBQ since 1997, offering concerts and clinics from The National Gallery of Art in DC to the famed San Francisco jazz club, Yoshi1s. The BBQ's first CD, Second Nature, features Mike's insinuating ballad, "Lydian Grin." He also records and tours with The Crowmatix (featuring Garth Hudson and the late Rick Danko from The Band), which provides an excellent showcase for his talents on slide guitar and mandolin.
Mike grew up in the arts colony of Woodstock, NY, immersed in the groundbreaking music of the 60s and 70s. He played clarinet in the high school band, then switched to guitar. Early influences-Wes Montgomery, Johnny Smith, Chick Corea, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Johnny Winter-helped shape Mike1s sound. At age 18, he gave his first demo tape to blues legend Paul Butterfield. Impressed, Butterfield recommended Mike to Ron Merians, owner of The Joyous Lake, a club renowned for presenting an eclectic mix of cutting edge artists. Merians immediately hired Mike for a steady gig leading his own band.
"If you were cool about it, you could sneak upstairs and hang with the musicians," Mike says of the famed Woodstock club. "One night, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry played there and I was telling Brownie I wanted to study at Berklee College of Music. Brownie had heard of the school. I wanted to sell my 1972 Ford station wagon. He offered me $250 and I used the money to move to Boston." He studied music theory and harmony at Berklee before leaving to tour the U.S. in pop and R&B bands. Mike returned to the Hudson Valley for a valuable four-year stint in the Catskill Hotels, where he got his education in the music of the 30s and 40s. "I learned from many seasoned musicians who all had, at one time or another, impressive jazz gigs. Most of them had passed through well-known big bands."
In 1983, Mike started a long working relationship with jazz pianist Chuck Lamb, playing challenging electric jazz at clubs and festivals throughout the U.S. in the fusion band, Dry Jack. Mike's playing attracted the attention of drummer Jack DeJohnette who encouraged him to develop his own voice. He also played a weekly jam session hosted by drummer Jimmy Cobb, where he played with guest artists such as J.R. Montrose, Arne Lawrence and Jeremy Steig. Another great opportunity to learn, this time Mike honed his distinctive chord melody approach. "I would show up each week, never assuming I would be asked to play . . . . after all, it was Jimmy Cobb. I was the only chord player so it was really challenging."
Mike met drummer Dan Brubeck in 1986 and, with keyboardist and composer Vinnie Martucci and bassist Scott Petito, formed The Dolphins, a high-energy fusion band. (Bassist Rob Leon joined the band when Petito1s career as a recording engineer and producer took precedence.) Three critically acclaimed Dolphins albums, extensive international touring, and U.S. and European concerts with the Dave Brubeck Quartet provided another important springboard for Mike's musical growth. He started his own jazz trio in 1987 with drummer Peter O'Brien and, a year later, began his continuing association with pianist Warren Bernhardt.
Three highly acclaimed instructional videos ("You Can Play Jazz Guitar, Volumes 1-3," Homespun Tapes) and guest appearances on Homespun videos by Warren Bernhardt and Gary Peacock, as well as numerous university clinics (University of North Florida, University of the Pacific, Pennsylvania State Universities, Bard and Skidmore) highlight Mike1s teaching prowess. He received a certificate for outstanding service to jazz education from the International Association of Jazz Educators, and has been awarded two Meet The Composer grants. Mike has also appeared twice on PBS' internationally syndicated Jazz in America series.

Blood pressure is a heritable trait influenced by several biological pathways and responsive to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (≥140 mm Hg systolic blood pressure or ≥90 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure). Even small increments in blood pressure are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. This genome-wide association study of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which used a multi-stage design in 200,000 individuals of European descent, identified sixteen novel loci: six of these loci contain genes previously known or suspected to regulate blood pressure (GUCY1A3-GUCY1B3, NPR3-C5orf23, ADM, FURIN-FES, GOSR2, GNAS-EDN3); the other ten provide new clues to blood pressure physiology. A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function. We also observed associations with blood pressure in East Asian, South Asian and African ancestry individuals. Our findings provide new insights into the genetics and biology of blood pressure, and suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Oracle GoldenGate: Knowledge Document Series Post #1
By Doug Reid on Nov 23, 2011
Over the course of the next several weeks, the Oracle GoldenGate team will be posting highlights from the knowledge base on My Oracle Support. The intent is to bring greater awareness to our user community of some fantastic best practices documents that are available to anyone with a valid CSI. These documents were originally created for our internal teams, but the content was so good and useful that we have made them available externally for our user community.
The first in our series is the Oracle GoldenGate database Schema Profile check script (Doc ID 1296168.1).
"This script is intended to query the database by schema to identify current configuration and identify any unsupported data types or types that may need special considerations for Oracle GoldenGate in an Oracle environment. This is the Oracle database profile script. Added check for deferred constraints. Deferred constraints may cause ADD TRANDATA to select the wrong column for logging. Use KEYCOLS for tables with deferred constraints."

Forty years ago, I awoke to the news that during the night one of the most brutal murder rampages in the history of California had taken place just six miles from my house.
In the early hours of August 9th l969, Sharon Tate, a devastatingly beautiful, 26-year-old actress, eight and a half months pregnant with her first child, a son, had been savagely slaughtered in a house she was renting in the Benedict Canyon area of Beverly Hills.
As the world quickly learned, the victims of a night of wholesale carnage included a group of her friends: Hollywood celebrity hair stylist Jay Sebring, coffee heiress Abigail Folger and her boyfriend Voityck Frokowsky who was an old pal of Tate's Polish, film-director husband Roman Polanski, and a young man named Steven Parent. The l8-year-old Parent, who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, was a friend of the estate's caretaker.At the time, I was the West Coast correspondent for one of Britain's largest circulation newspapers and my editors immediately assigned me to find out everything I could about this senseless massacre that was instant front page news around the world. What happened that balmy Summer's night became one of the most infamous chapters in the history of brutal murder in America.Eventually Charles Manson and his band of pitiful souls were arrested not only for the Tate murders but also for those of Los Angeles businessman Leno LaBianca, 44, and his 38-year-old wife Rosemary, whose bodies were found one day after the Beverly Hills killings in a house in Silver Lake some 13 miles from the first murder scene.I and a colleague Jerry LeBlanc wrote a fast book about the Manson murders called "Five to Die. We had an early start on the case. As soon as the story broke that Manson, who had been taken into custody at the remote Barker Ranch in Death Valley on October 12, l969 more than two months after the murders, was a key suspect in the case, we began to dig into his background and that of his 'family.'
Several years later, long after I had covered the trials which resulted in first degree murder convictions for Manson and four of his acolytes-- Charles "Tex" Watson, Susan Atkins, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel, I met former Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Aaron Stovitz. He had been head of the DA's trial division and the lead prosecutor in the case before he was removed by the District Attorney for contravening the Judge's gag order. Much to my astonishment Stovitz dropped a bombshell. "Your book was the blueprint for our prosecution," he said. "It was all there for us to follow."
I also revisited conversations I had had over the years with Roman Polanski, record producer Terry Melcher, his mother Doris Day and Beatle Paul McCartney as well as key figures in the trial. And I examined how I too had been personally affected by my proximity to the case, not least by the menacing death threats to myself and my family from Charlie's 'family.'

Re: "Military to spend $1 billion on armed drones for Arctic patrols," Aug. 7.
During a financial downturn, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is committing Canadians to paying $1 billion for armed drones.
It doesn't matter that Canadians were not consulted on this and likely would not approve such a move, but Harper goes ahead anyway.
Armed drones are being used to kill people daily in the Middle East and now we will be paying for drones in our own skies. That sure sounds like democracy in action.

CSUSM Compass Card
CSUSM is one of the first campuses in San Diego County to convert from paper passes to the compass card.
The CSUSM compass card is available only to CSUSM students, staff and faculty through the Parking and Commuter Services office (PACS) with valid CSUSM id and enrollment /employment verification. It is $40.00, a savings of $19.00 off the regular price of $59.00.
The monthly fare can be purchased at the PACS office from the 25th of the previous month through the 15th of the current month (i.e. for a September monthly transit pass, the fare would be purchased August 25th through September 15th)
This is a reusable, reloadable card. Use the same card over and over.
For first time compass card users there is a $5.00 fee for the card.
Just Tap & Ride using your CSUSM compass Card
Before boarding the SPRINTER train, find the validator and tap your compass card flat on the compass card symbol. Tapping your card on the validator verifies that you have a valid transit pass loaded. For the BREEZE bus, the validator is on the bus.
Tapping activates an automatic reload on your compass card – tap after the 25th of the prior month for the next months reload and tap before the 15th of the current month to keep active.
For information on how to register your compass card to protect it if lost, stolen, or damaged go to www.511sd.com/compass or by phone at 511.

On Christmas day, the log will poop presents for the little children. To assist the process, children hit the log with a walking stick while singing "Caga tió, tió de Nadal. No caguis arengades, que són salades. Caga torrons, que són més bons." (Poop, log, log of Christmas. Don't poop herrings, which are too salty. Poop turróns, which are much better.) After hitting it softly during the song, the strikes get harder on the words "Caga tió"
The form of the Tió de Nadal found in many Catalan homes is a hollow log of about 30 cm long. Most Catalan children get the bulk of their presents on the Epiphany, the 12th day after Christmas, but the Caga tió is a good opportunity for children to receive some sweets and small presents to enjoy during the long Christmas vacation.
Caga tió is another scatological Catalan tradition similar to the Caganer, the small pooping figures that Catalans place at the back of their Nativity scenes.

Man Arrested with Nunchucks
Posted on 01/09/2013 12:39 pm
- 900 block of West 3rd Street, Wilmington, Delaware
Date of Occurrence:
- Friday, January 4, 2012, at 8:31 a.m.
Andre Walker, 38 year old black male, of the 900 block of North Harrison Street, Wilmington, Delaware
- Possession of a Weapon in a Safe School Zone
- Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Person Prohibited
- Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon
- Resisting/Hindering a Police Officer
- Disorderly Conduct
- Society/ Public
Police arrested Andre Walker for carrying a concealed deadly weapon in a school zone.
Neighborhood Police Officer Master Corporal George Collins was proactively patrolling the 900 block of West 3rd Street when he observed Walker walking east bound on the same block. As Master Corporal Collins continued past Walker, he was observed reaching into his coat and removing what appeared to be nunchucks. Walker began swinging the nunchucks around as if preparing for combat. Walker was then observed walking toward the basketball courts, under the Interstate 95 overpass, and resumed swinging the nunchucks in combative fashion causing pedestrians to become alarmed and change their direction of travel.
Master Corporal Donald Cramer arrived on scene to assist Master Corporal Collins. Walker stood in the middle of the basketball courts facing the officers as they approached. After several commands for Walker to drop his weapon, he reached into his jacket dropping the nunchucks to the ground while placing an unlit cigarette into his mouth. While Walker focused his attention on Master Corporal Collins, Master Corporal Cramer engaged Walker taking him into custody without further incident.
Walker was charged with Possession of a Deadly Weapon in a Safe School Zone, Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Person Prohibited, Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon, Resisting/Hindering a Police Officer, and Disorderly Conduct.
Walker, who is a person prohibited, was committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Facility in lieu of a $1,000 secured bond.

Evolution of Vacancy Supersaturations in MeV Si Implanted Silicon
Date: May 1999
Creator: Venezia, Vincent C.
Description: High-energy Si implantation into silicon creates a net defect distribution that is characterized by an excess of interstitials near the projected range and a simultaneous excess of vacancies closer to the surface. This defect distribution is due to the spatial separation between the distributions of interstitials and vacancies created by the forward momentum transferred from the implanted ion to the lattice atom. This dissertation investigates the evolution of the near-surface vacancy excess in MeV Si-implanted silicon both during implantation and post-implant annealing. Although previous investigations have identified a vacancy excess in MeV-implanted silicon, the investigations presented in this dissertation are unique in that they are designed to correlate the free-vacancy supersaturation with the vacancies in clusters. Free-vacancy (and interstitial) supersaturations were measured with Sb (B) dopant diffusion markers. Vacancies in clusters were profiled by Au labeling; a new technique based on the observation that Au atoms trap in the presence of open-volume defects. The experiments described in this dissertation are also unique in that they were designed to isolate the deep interstitial excess from interacting with the much shallower vacancy excess during post-implant thermal processing.

Quantum-Confined CdS Nanoparticles on DNA Templates
Date: May 1998
Creator: Rho, Young Gyu
Description: As electronic devices became smaller, interest in quantum-confined semiconductor nanostructures increased. Self-assembled mesoscale semiconductor structures of II-VI nanocrystals are an especially exciting subject because of their controllable band gap and unique photophysical properties. Several preparative methods to synthesize and control the sizes of the individual nanocrystallites and the electronic and optical properties have been intensively studied. Fabrication of patterned nanostructures composed of quantum-confined nanoparticles is the next step toward practical applications. We have developed an innovative method to fabricate diverse nanostructures which relies on the size and a shape of a chosen deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) template.

Fluorine Adsorption and Diffusion in Polycrystalline Silica
Date: December 1998
Creator: Jin, Jian-Yue
Description: The measurement of fluorine penetration into archeological flint artifacts using Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) has been reported to be a potential dating method. However, the mechanism of how fluorine is incorporated into the flint surface, and finally transported into the bulk is not well understood. This research focuses on the study of the fluorine uptake phenomenon of flint mineral in aqueous fluoride solutions. Both theoretical and experimental approaches have been carried out. In a theoretical approach, a pipe-diffusion model was used to simulate the complicated fluorine transportation problem in flint, in which several diffusion mechanisms may be involved.

Synthesis and Study of Engineered Heterogenous Polymer Gels
Date: August 1998
Creator: Chen, Yuanye
Description: This dissertation studies physical properties and technological applications of engineered heterogenous polymer gels. Such gels are synthesized based on modulation of gel chemical nature in space. The shape memory gels have been developed in this study by using the modulated gel technology. At room temperature, they form a straight line. As the temperature is increased, they spontaneously bend or curl into a predetermined shape such as a letter of the alphabet, a numerical number, a spiral, a square, or a fish. The shape changes are reversible. The heterogenous structures have been also obtained on the gel surface. The central idea is to cover a dehydrated gel surface with a patterned mask, then to sputter-deposit a gold film onto it. After removing the mask, a gold pattern is left on the gel surface. Periodical surface array can serve as gratings to diffract light. The grating constant can be continuously changed by the external environmental stimuli such as temperature and electric field. Several applications of gels with periodic surface arrays as sensors for measuring gel swelling ratio, internal strain under an uniaxial stress, and shear modulus have been demonstrated. The porous NIPA gels have been synthesized by suspension technique. Microstructures of newly ...

Structural and Photoelectron Emission Properties of Chemical Vapor Deposition Grown Diamond Films
Date: August 1998
Creator: Akwani, Ikerionwu Asiegbu
Description: The effects of methane (CH4), diborone (B2H6) and nitrogen (N2) concentrations on the structure and photoelectron emission properties of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polycrystalline diamond films were studied. The diamond films were grown on single-crystal Si substrates using the hot-tungsten filament CVD technique. Raman spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the different forms of carbon in the films, and the fraction of sp3 carbon to sp3 plus sp2 carbon at the surface of the films, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the surface morphology of the films. The photoelectron emission properties were determined by measuring the energy distributions of photoemitted electrons using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), and by measuring the photoelectric current as a function of incident photon energy.

On Delocalization Effects in Multidimensional Lattices
Date: May 1998
Creator: Bystrik, Anna
Description: A cubic lattice with random parameters is reduced to a linear chain by the means of the projection technique. The continued fraction expansion (c.f.e.) approach is herein applied to the density of states. Coefficients of the c.f.e. are obtained numerically by the recursion procedure. Properties of the non-stationary second moments (correlations and dispersions) of their distribution are studied in a connection with the other evidences of transport in a one-dimensional Mori chain. The second moments and the spectral density are computed for the various degrees of disorder in the prototype lattice. The possible directions of the further development are outlined. The physical problem that is addressed in the dissertation is the possibility of the existence of a non-Anderson disorder of a specific type. More precisely, this type of a disorder in the one-dimensional case would result in a positive localization threshold. A specific type of such non-Anderson disorder was obtained by adopting a transformation procedure which assigns to the matrix expressing the physics of the multidimensional crystal a tridiagonal Hamiltonian. This Hamiltonian is then assigned to an equivalent one-dimensional tight-binding model. One of the benefits of this approach is that we are guaranteed to obtain a linear crystal with a ...

Education is expensive, as any college grad or parent will tell you.
There are many college graduates who are carrying a huge burden of student loans and are looking for answers to get free of this financial weight.
According to www.edustudentloans.com, "The average undergraduate student has between $20,000 to $42,00 in student loans at the time of graduation." For the past decade, college tuition has dramatically increased, forcing students to borrow money to pay for college. "An estimated 70% of students leave college with loans and there is close to $600 Billion of student loan debt that is outstanding."
All of that debt places an early obstacle for our young population as well as the economic factors as a nation.
Here are a couple of ways to get past this financial obligation by considering alternatives to repayment.
One method is the public service loan forgiveness program (PSLF).
You may be able to eliminate your student loan by working for a not-for-profit and government agency.
There are programs for those who have a career in public service, so consider the types of jobs that fall into the category of state and federal government, school districts, hospitals and non-profit organizations.
To get more details, see the link below and find out if you and your loan are eligible. Qualification for the program is not income based.
The other program you may want to know about is called "SponsorChange".
In this arrangement, college grads who have loans, agree to volunteer at organizations that need their skills. The grads benefit their local community by putting in time toward that organization's goals. Donors who have also signed up at "SponsorChange" reimburse volunteers by paying down their student loans. Donors help the nonprofit get free manpower rather than making a traditional donation.
The motto of the program is "You Serve. They Sponsor. Change Happens."
So the grads get help reducing their student loan plus they gain some work experience along the way.
The founders of "SponsorChange" are brothers, Raymar Hampshire Ph.D and Robert Hampshire Ph.D and explain the program in the attached video interview.
Sounds like a smart idea for many reasons.

As reported here, an elite group of young performers from the Central Arkansas Performing Arts Academy (CAPAA) in Cabot will entertain at the Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Studios in Florida during spring break.
This article is the second of a series that will spotlight each of the performers in the group, which is known as the CAPAA Players. If you missed the first article in this series, click here.
This profile is of Gabi Batlzley, 21, who serves as the vocal instructor of CAPAA. Gabi is a graduate of Parkview Arts/Science Magnet School in Little Rock and studied musical theatre at Ouachita Baptist University.
Q: How did you get interested in performing arts?
A: I got interested in the performing arts my freshman year of high school on the day of auditions for the spring musical, High School Musical. I told my mom about the auditions as she was driving me home from school, and she turned the car around and said, "You're going to audition for this musical." So I auditioned, was cast in the ensemble, and from then on was hooked.
Q: What was your first role?
A: My first role ever was a nerd in High School Musical. Impressive, I know.
Q: What other roles have you played?
A: My favorite roles I've played have been Hope Harcourt in Anything Goes, Pickles in The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Kitty in The Drowsy Chaperone, and Margot in Legally Blonde the Musical.
Q: What role(s) do you hope to someday play?
A: Roles I hope to have are Natalie in Next to Normal, Galinda in Wicked, Maria in The Sound of Music, and Cathy in The Last Five Years.
Q: If you had to choose one--acting, singing, or dancing--which would it be and why?
A: I would choose acting over singing or dancing because although I would consider singing to be my strong suit, I would love to be on TV or in movies.
Q: What (Who) is your favorite . . .
. . . Broadway musical?
A: Although it's difficult to choose a favorite musical, I would have to say mine is probably The Last Five Years, written by Jason Robert Brown.
. . . actor?
My favorite Broadway actor is Aaron Tveit.
. . . actress?
My favorite Broadway actress Annaleigh Ashford.
Q: What is the best thing about performing arts?
A: The best thing about performing arts is the bond that you create with your cast mates.
Q: What is the single best memory you have related to performing arts?
The best memory I have of the performing arts is when I was playing Pickles in The Great American Trailer Park Musical. The cast was so small, and we were literally like a family. It was also the most fun I've had onstage since I started performing.
Q: What advice do you have for those interested in performing arts?
My advice for people interested in the performing arts is to please not let anyone discourage you from pursuing what you love. If theatre is your passion, there are so many opportunities for you. Just work hard, and be confident in yourself.
Q: Can you sum up your life with one Broadway song title?
A: If I had to sum up my life with one Broadway song title, it would be "Climbing Uphill" from The Last Five Years.
