A Long Island man was arrested Wednesday on felony grand larceny charges after authorities said he stole more than $172,000 from a Great Neck business where he worked as a salesman, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said March 12.
Thomas Holt, 65, of Nesconset, is awaiting arraignment Wednesday afternoon at First District Court in Hempstead after being charged with second-degree grand larceny. If convicted of the felony offense, he could face up to 15 years in prison.
Prosecutors said Holt, who worked at the interior design and supply business for 20 years, was responsible for taking orders and payments from walk-in customers. For nearly four years –from 2008 to 2012 – he allegedly told dozens of customers that he would give them a discount if they paid him with a check written out to cash, the district attorney's office said in a news release.
Authorities said Holt would then allegedly deliver the merchandise ordered using the store's inventory, but never passed along the payments to his employers. Instead, prosecutors allege, he would deposit them into his personal checking account.
Officials said the company uncovered the alleged scheme while conducting a routine review of financial records. Holt was fired in October 2012 and the company refereed the case to the district attorney's office for investigation.
"Businesses often rely on employees to be the trustworthy face of their operations. When that trust is violated, everyone – including customers, fellow employees and management – is hurt by their misconduct," Rice said.

Season 5 of "Pretty Little Liars" is off to an interesting start. Next Tuesday, episode 4 of the hit drama will air and fans are looking forward to seeing what is coming next. On June 26, a sneak peek of the next episode was uploaded to YouTube.
The clip starts off with Ali texting Emily asking her to call her back. She starts to sign "A" at the end of the message, but hesitates, then writes Alison. Could this be a hint that Ali is responsible for all of the turmoil or is it simply her reacting to seeing the "A" at the beginning of her name?
Ali's father walks into her room just as she finishes sending her text to Emily. He tells her that Detective Holbrook has called again about her needing to come in for the medical exam. He was able to postpone it once because of her mother, but he tells Ali that they can't hold them off forever. Alison becomes distraught and emotional at the mention of a medical exam. She begs her father not to make her do it. The clip ends with her father telling her that if she was hurt, then she needs to talk to someone.
Another sneak peek of the episode titled "Thrown from the Ride" reveals that Mona is paying special attention to the girls during lunch. This shouldn't come as a surprise, but will she find out anything or perhaps she is waiting for something? She also meets with Lucas in a dimly lit room.
The Liars know that Mona is watching them and Aria tells Spencer that Mona is freaking her out. Then there are several flashes of Aria literally freaking out. Is this all because of Mona, are there other reasons for the continuous shots or was it added just for a visual effect? The shots show Aria wearing different outfits and she seems to be in different locations.
Also, Spencer grabs a computer out of Alison's hands, Emily is outside her house looking worried and Spencer says that the police need to find out what caused the death of Mrs. DiLaurentis. Perhaps the most interesting thing is what Alison says,
"Once you know something, you can't un-know it."
She appears to be in a doctor's office and it is quite possible that she is there for the medical exam. What exactly does she mean by that? What exactly is the reason she is so hesitant to do the exam? Did something happen to her while she was hiding or is it just a reminder of "A?"
What do you think of the two sneak peeks of "Pretty Little Liars" season 5, episode 4? Do you have any theories on what is going to happen next?

EUGENE – After having a week off, the Oregon women's lacrosse team is anxious and ready to host its 10th home-opener when Connecticut comes to town on Friday, March 14. The Huskies and Ducks are set to faceoff at 4 p.m. at Papé Field before UO hosts Fresno State on Saturday, March 15, at 2 p.m.
Live stats and live streams will be available for both home games this week for all fans that can't be in attendance. Links for both can be found on GoDucks.com.
For all days when both women's lacrosse and baseball are playing at home, any fans that show their baseball ticket will get free admission to the lacrosse match.
Friday: Bi-Mart 2-for-1 – Any fans purchasing tickets on game day at the ticket window that show their Bi-Mart card can get two tickets for the price of one.
Saturday: St. Patrick's Day GREEN OUT – Any fans in attendance wearing GREEN can purchase tickets for $2. Fans can also use their baseball tickets from the previous day, March 14, to gain free admission into Saturday's game as well. Oregon will also be doing a raffle to support Camp Kesem.
The Oregon women's lacrosse team will raise money for Camp Kesem on Saturday, March 15, against Fresno State. Four items will be raffled off during the game Saturday and will also be auctioning off a game-used Oregon football helmet on OregonAuthentic.com with all proceeds going towards Camp Kesem.
For more information about Camp Kesem and how you can help, visit www.campkesem.org.
Oregon fans will get their first chance to see the women's lacrosse team this season when the Ducks host the Huskies of Connecticut at 4 p.m. on Friday, March 14, at Papé Field. UConn comes into Friday's matchup with a 2-4 mark and a 0-2 road record. Connecticut also received votes in the most recent IWLCA poll released on March 10.
The Huskies were on a three-game losing streak before they won their last match against James Madison, 14-13, in overtime on March 9. Connecticut leads the all-time series 1-0 with the lone win coming in last March in Hartford, Conn.
The Huskies are coming off a program-best 13-win season that led to their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Connecticut was also picked to finish second in the Big East Conference this year in the Big East Preseason Coaches' poll.
Connecticut is led by Lauren Kahn and Katherine Finkelston with 13 and 12 goals, respectively. On top of leading the team in goals, Kahn has dished out a team-high 10 assists for a total of 23 points and also leads the team in ground balls (15) and draw controls (19). Her 2.83 average in caused turnovers is good for fourth in the nation. Kahn also leads UConn with 17 caused turnovers.
Kahn was UConn's leading scorer last year with 42 goals as a junior. Heading into her senior season, Kahn was named the 2014 Preseason Big East Offensive Player of Year as well as earning Preseason All-Big East Team honors.
Finkleston is second on the team with 16 points thanks to a .522 shooting percent with 21-of-23 shots on target.
On the defensive end, Shannon Nee leads the Huskies with 37 saves and allowed 53 goals in 284:35 minutes. Nee was also selected to the Preseason All-Big East team along with Kacey Pippitt, who is third on the team with seven goals.
A day after playing in its home-opener, the Oregon women's lacrosse team will also play in its conference opener against Fresno State at 2 p.m. on March 15. The Ducks lead the all-time series 6-0 over the Bulldogs heading into Saturday's matchup.
Fresno State is 1-5 on the year and 0-3 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. The Bulldogs opened the season with an 8-6 victory over Monmouth before dropping their next five matches. Fresno State is averaging 6.17 goals per game compared to Oregon's 15.85 goals per game.
Kara Concheck is the only Bulldog to have scored 10-plus goals, 11, and have a total of 12 points while Anjelica Fuccillo is second on the team with six goals.
Defensively, Fresno State has a pair of players in Holly Cisneros and Lisa Barnaba who have scooped up 12 groundballs each while Kyleigh Westgarth has collected 10. Carol Dineen-Carlson is the only Bulldog to have double-digits in draw controls while no one on the team has double-digit caused turnovers.
The Ducks were narrowly edged by both of their opponents when they were on the road last, falling to Temple 10-8 and then to Robert Morris 15-14 in overtime. Oregon moves to 2-2 on the year heading into its two-game home stand.
Olivia Pyne scored a late goal with 2:41 remaining in the game to start the Oregon rally, as Shannon Propst and Courtney Valdez went back-to-back after Pyne to bring Oregon within one, 9-8. However, a late goal by Temple with 24 seconds left on the clocked sealed the 10-8 win for the Owls. Valdez led the team with four goals while Propst chipped in with three.
A late goal by Propst to start the overtime period wasn't enough against Robert Morris as the Colonials reeled off two-straight goals to narrowly edge the Ducks, 15-14. The last minute change of venue and date of competition was made to play at the Cost Center on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh was due to the pending snow storm on the east coast. Propst led the Ducks with four goals while Nikki Puszcz found the back of the net three times.
Heading into this week's competition, senior Shannon Propst is tied for third in the nation with UC Davis' Elizabeth Landry with 3.50 assists per game. Sophomore Carly O'Connell is right behind with a 3.25 average, good for fifth in the nation. Through four games, Propst is in a tie for second with 6.50 points per game while O'Connell is in seventh with a 5.50 average. O'Connell is also tied for 12th in draw controls with a 5.50 average.
Through last week's games, Oregon and many of its players still hold top spots in multiple statistical categories in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. Shannon Propst still holds the top spot with 6.50 points per game while teammate Carly O'Connell is right behind – in second – with 5.50 points per game.
Propst (3.50) and O'Connell (3.25) also stand in second and third, respectively, in assists per game with just a quarter of a point difference between the two. O'Connell leads the conference in draw controls with a 5.50 average with a total of 22 on the year. The Southborough, Mass., native is also second in the MPSF with a 2.50 average in caused turnovers.
In the crease, Caroline Federighi is third in the goals against average category with 7.89 in 228:03 minutes of action.
As a team the Ducks are tops in goals per game (16.25), ground balls per game (20.50), assists per game (10.00), points per game (26.25) and shot percentage (.533)
The senior eclipsed the Oregon all-time career assist record of 78 in the season opener, dishing out nine assists in the 20-3 win over Stetson. Propst tacked on two more assists in the Ducks' win over Coastal Carolina to finish with 11 assists through two games, and 81 in her career at Oregon. The fallen record of 78 was held by Kristina Barrett who played from 2009-12.
Propst's nine assists also broke the eight-year old single-game assist record for Oregon (6) set by Alison Leiner in 2006 and tied the MPSF single-game assist record set by Jill Remenapp of Denver last season. Propst's 10 points against Stetson also broke the single-game record at Oregon while tying her for sixth all-time on the MPSF all-time single-game points list.
The following day against Coastal Carolina, the senior attack also displayed her offensive capabilities, tying the game-high with four goals in Oregon's 23-3 victory over the Chants.
Oregon senior attacker Shannon Propst earned the first Offensive Player of the Week honors of the 2014 season as announced by the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation office Monday, Feb. 17. This is the third player of the week award for Propst, who earned it twice before, once during her junior campaign and once during her sophomore year.
Propst was tabbed the MPSF Offensive Player of Week after she scored five goals with 11 assists and 16 points her first two games. The Bel Air, Md., native was also 5-of-6 shooting from the field (.833), including a perfect shots on goal percentage and went 2-for-2 in free position opportunities to go along with her 3 ground balls.
The preseason coaches' poll released by the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation had Oregon slated to finish fourth in league play receiving 53 points. Stanford was picked to finish first, garnering 78 points and seven first-place votes, with Denver right behind the Cardinal with 74 points and a pair of first-place votes. USC finished ahead of Oregon with 66 points while garnering one first-place vote.
Oregon will have a pair of its games broadcasted on the Pac-12 Networks this season. The first of which will be the Ducks' first road conference match in Berkeley, Calif., against the California Golden Bears on Apr. 3 at 7 p.m. Eight days later, UO will have its match against Stanford, last year's conference tournament champions, televised from Papé Field on Friday, Apr. 11, at 5 p.m.
Having lost six seniors to graduation, two of which were starters, head coach Jen Beck reloaded the Ducks' roster with eight standouts from across the United States. Three hailed from the state of Maryland, two from Colorado, and one each from Massachusetts, Oregon and California.
Beck signed a pair of goalies in Jan Parker and Becca Katzen. Parker hails from Danvers, Mass., where she led The Williston Northampton School to three Northeastern Conference championships earning NEC MVP honors her sophomore and junior seasons. Katzen prepped at Dulaney High School where she split time with two other goalies.
The remaining six signees come to Oregon at the midfield position. Annie Longtain, the lone Oregon signee, led West Linn High School to a runner-up finish in 2012 and a third third-place finish in 2011 at the state tournament.
Bella Pyne joined older sister Olivia at Oregon boasting a resume that includes South River High School's first state championship in 2010. Pyne also earned multiple all-county and all-league honors during her prep career.
Rachel Steinberg was an Under Armour All-American and Maximum Exposure All-Star. Steinberg led the Severn School in ground balls, draw controls and caused turnovers her season year.
Kathryn Blumhardt, a Regis Jesuit High School grad, earned all-state honorable mention as well as second-team all-league honors to go along with her academic All-America honors and first-team all-academic selections.
Erin Schilmoeller joins fellow prep teammate Blumhardt at Oregon for the 2014 season. Schilmoeller earned multiple all-league honors as well as back-to-back academic All-America honors.
Rounding out the list of new Ducks is KiKi Gibson, a Carlsbad, Calif., native that played at La Costa Canyon. Gibson led LCCHS to the California Interscholastic Federation championships in 2012 and was awarded U.S. Lacrosse High School America honors for her efforts. She also earned first-team All-CIF honors her freshman and sophomore years.

Nov. 6, 2011
PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State posted a 59-53 exhibition victory over Lewis-Clark State at Beasley Coliseum Sunday afternoon.
Senior guard Jazmine Perkins scored a team-high 12 points for the Cougars who received 32 points from their bench while forcing 25 LCSC turnovers. Sophomore Brandi Thomas paced the WSU bench with nine points while redshirt-sophomore Ireti Amojo added seven points and sophomore Sage Romberg grabbed a team-high seven rebounds, both playing reserve roles.
The Warriors opened the game with a pair of three's before Perkins posted back-to-back layins and later added a three to spark the Cougs early on. Midway through the first half, the WSU bench made their presence felt, keying an 11-0 run and later extending the spurt to 20-6 to open up a 29-21 advantage. Freshman guard Tia Presley, out of Spokane, Romberg, sophomore Hana Potter and Thomas all contributed to the run before junior Carly Noyes capped the run with a layin.
The Warriors hit a couple shots late in the half to cut the Cougars lead to 30-27 at the break.
Perkins again sparked the Cougs, opening the second half with a steal and layup while Thomas and Potter added buckets to push the WSU lead to 41-32. Amojo gave the Cougs a 10-point advantage, 44-34, with a three at the 11:45 mark but the Warriors answered minutes later with three's on three straight trips down the floor to make it a 51-46 with 6:29 remaining.
The Cougars held on though, getting a couple stops on the defensive end following a timeout as Noyes had a layin, Thomas hit a baseline jumper and Amojo later knocked down a three to seal things up.
WSU scored 21 points of the LCSC miscues and held the Warriors to 31.4 percent shooting. LCSC received 14 points from Brittaney Niebergall and 12 from Jasmine Stohr.
The Cougars open the regular season next weekend at the Lady Lion Classic hosted by Penn State University. WSU faces Penn State 3 p.m. (PST) Friday before playing the winner/loser of UNC Wilmington/Middle Tennessee State Sunday.

Introduction: Around the country, there are walking clubs who map out walks, write up directions, and have them available in most major cities. This is a great way to become acquainted with a city, and mostly, avoid the not-so-nice areas while enjoying the better and historical places of an area. It is even better when the directions include the historical trivia within the notes. All you need is to register at the starting point, take the directions, and enjoy the walk. What follows is a 'shout-out' for one of these walks.
Once called Smelter in the late 1800s, this company town was renamed Ruston after its founder, W. R. Rust, when incorporated in 1906. Smelter was an apt name for this small town as this was the location of the copper smelter, the primary industry of this area
Except for the portion that borders Commencement Bay (Puget Sound), Ruston is surrounded by Tacoma (the 3rd largest city in the state). In 2010, the population was 759, according to the US Census Bureau. Once the location of the ASARCO copper smelting plant along the waterfront, the area continues to build, a large residential and commercial area renamed Point Ruston, which could increase the population by 1,000 residents. Interestingly, the project is bisected with Ruston on one side and Tacoma on the other.
The local volkssport club, Evergreen Wanderers, will sponsor a walk event this Saturday, March 22, starting at the VFW Hall at 4741 N. Baltimore Street, Tacoma. A portion of the walk is along Commencement Bay on the Point Ruston Waterwalk that connects the Ruston Way Promenade and Point Defiance Park. The highlights along this walk, besides the water view, are the wonderful tiled sea life scenes designed into the walkway.
You may start the walk any time between 9 AM and 1 PM and need to be finished no later than 4 PM. A great way for some exercise, fresh air, and spending time with family and/or friends. When finished, you may want to return to the waterfront for lunch at Anthony's.
Happy Trails.

This just in: Norwegian Cruise Line announces it will resume cruises to Bermuda this weekend though one itinerary has been altered. Norwegian Majesty, which sails from Boston and usually docks for three days in St. George, will instead overnight in King's Wharf and Hamilton (though it will spend a day in St. George). According to an NCL statement, the shift is due to damage to the causeway that connects St. George to Hamilton. Norwegian Sky, which cruises to Bermuda from New York, will maintain its scheduled itinerary.
Royal Caribbean already reported that Nordic Empress will resume its regularly-scheduled itinerary to Bermuda. As will Celebrity Cruises' Horizon and Zenith.

"A square with a perimeter of 20 cm is inscribed in a square with a perimeter of 28 cm. What is the greatest distance between a vertex of the inner square and a vertex of the outer square, in centimeters?"
I worked out the area of the individual sides- 5 for for the small square and 7 for the big one. I also noticed side $a^2+b^2=25$ (see picture) due to Pythagoraean theorem and that $a+b$ is 7, but I don't know if this helps me at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

That's a great question...I don't think I use more packaged and processed foods now that I've gotten the hang of the gluten-free diet, but I did use more in the first month (partly because I wanted to try out what was available). The only exception would be dessert foods, because I haven't spent a lot of time working on my GF baking. I also haven't even tried to make or buy breads. I think the main things that I buy pre-packaged now are pasta/noodles (which I did before) and baking mixes (which I don't buy often, anyway). The rest of the processed foods that we still buy are versions of things we used to buy (like instant and canned soups).

I'd love to talk more with you about this, and also hear how your month off of gluten and dairy went!Amy @ Anktanglehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371386314838781559.post-42030679853559668472011-02-04T08:39:26.287-08:002011-02-04T08:39:26.287-08:00The cheeseburger and sweet potato fries look delic...The cheeseburger and sweet potato fries look delicious!

I just finished a month of wheat (and dairy) free eating. One of the reasons that I'm not continuing the diet is that I found myself buying and eating MORE packaged and processed foods by trying to use the wheat free alternatives. Do you do this, too?amydellehttp://email@example.com

In 2013, there was a lot of fan hype surrounding speedy running back Lance Dunbar. A big thought was that he could really compliment DeMarco Murray and give Dallas a speedy running back out of the backfield, someone who could maybe be Dallas' version of Darren Sproles, a multifaceted threat. ESPN reported on Wednesday that the Dallas Cowboys have another comparison for Dunbar this year, and that is to be the team's Reggie Bush.
The difference is that DeMarco Murray is the unquestioned started on the offense while Reggie Bush was the starter for the Detroit Lions when Scott Lineman was there. With Lineman now calling plays with the Cowboys, there is hope that he can use some of the special plays that highlighted Bush's tenure in Detroit with Lance Dunbar in Dallas. As a change-of-pace back, Dallas has a lot of special plays to use the special skills of Dunbar.
The big question here is whether or not Dunbar can stay healthy. In 2013, the fan excitement was there because Dallas had a lot of special plays for Dunbar as well. However, he injured his foot in preseason and then finally got a chance to prove himself on Thanksgiving Day. Sadly, he injured his knee in that game and missed the rest of the season. Yes, Lance Dunbar is fast and exciting, but he is also small and has proven to be injury prone.
The Dallas Cowboys need Dunbar to remain healthy in order to trust him with the ball. While they drafted Joseph Randle last year with the expectations that he would be the primary backup to DeMarco Murray, and maybe push him for the starting job, Randle was a huge bust, only gaining 164 rushing yards for the year with a 3.0 yard-per-carry average. Lance Dunbar is now the man and the Dallas Cowboys have a lot of expectations for him in 2014.
The Dallas Cowboys open their preseason against the San Diego Chargers in San Diego. The game kicks off at 9:00 p.m. CST and will air nationwide on the NFL Network and locally on CBS 11.

Handlebar mounted video camera
By user12625760 on Mar 27, 2007
I bought an Oregan Scientific 2K Helmet Camera for use on my bike. I was sold on it by the demonstration on The Gadget Show where they threw one out of the window into a pond while it was recording and it survived and recorded it all.
To start with I have mounted it on my handlebars for two reasons:
I don't usually wear a helmet.
It would be impossible to control the camera while on my head.
The second reason is the real reason my journey is only less than an hour when I come home, am fit, have a tail wind and the traffic is good. So most of the time I would need more than 1 hour of "film" but the camera with a 2GB SD card will only record 1 hour 2 minutes at the highest quality. So I either have to reduce the quality, something I will investigate, or stop the camera on the most boring bits. Since the whole journey is pretty boring and I aim to keep it this way as any excitement probably involves me being in collision with a motor vehicle.
Here is quick clip:
If you can't resist the temptation to watch, then turn the volume down as the audio is rubbish.
This is the decent from the roundabout on the Ridgeway and the Red Road in Camberley. This is fastest part of my journey so potentially the most difficult for a helmet cam on handlebars. However I am still disappointed about the quality due to the vibration. The only solution I can see is to mount it on my head. The content is terminally dull.
The other thing is the number of cars that overtake, one crossing the white line to do so. Since I topped out at only 33mph and would have hit that speed just as the car that crosses the white line passes. Since this is something that happens every day it did not really bother me at the time.

For this project I got in contact with many places which could not live in time or at least, survive the process of endless changes. Madrid in Spain, Maracaibo, Tabay, Bailadores in Venezuela, London in England or Slane in Ireland, are some of the many lands that showed me a part of those forgotten spaces.
I wonder if those rusted and neglected walls, if those places of carelessness, if those spaces of apathy, belong to us ¿Are those walls, those places or those spaces our own reflection? We are witnessing the walls falling down but we do not want to see.
We have allowed so much of our past to fall into decay - but do not attempt to hide the dereliction. We are prepared to live with devastation.

Fen Soundscapes
Britten Sinfonia is delighted to be involved in The Great Fen Project which aims to create a 3,700 hectare wetland between Woodwalton and Holme Fen. In May 2009 we held two fundraising concerts for the project, and alongside these we have been running a major Creative Learning project, Fen Soundscapes.
Children and young people in Ramsey and Yaxley (the two villages at either end of the Great Fen area) had the fantastic opportunity to work with professional composers (Jane Wells and Mike Challis) and Britten Sinfonia musicians. The project encouraged them to explore composition based on the natural world and the landscape of the Great Fen area.
In March, we accompanied children from Ramsey Spinning Infants School on a visit to the Ramsey Heights Countryside Classroom where Year 2 classes spent the day with Mike recording the sounds they could hear around them in the Fen. This was an interactive day where the children were asked to be as quiet as possible (no mean feat!) and encouraged to listen out for sounds including birds, leaves crunching, reeds rustling and any other wildlife. They even got to make their own sounds using what was around them and particularly enjoyed squelching in the mud! You can listen to some of the sounds they recorded here.
The children continued working with Jane and Britten Sinfonia musicians in a series of after-school and holiday workshops where they composed their own Great Fen-inspired music. They also got to meet composer John Woolrich when they attended a rehearsal for the Great Fen Concert in Peterborough Cathedral. You can see and hear some of the results of the children's work below.
Meanwhile, Mike, along with colleauges from the Jam Van, was working with teenagers in Yaxley, who learned to use professional-standard equipment to record and edit natural sounds and instrumental music. The teenagers then organised all of these sounds into a "Fen Soundscape" which evoked both the natural landscape and their and the younger children's responses to it.
We launched Fen Soundscapes on Tuesday 21 July 2009 at St Thomas a Becket church, Ramsey, and the exhibition continued from Wednesday 22 to Sunday 26 July. If you missed the exhibition, you can still experience the installation:

The Fen Soundscapes project was a partnership between Huntingdonshire District Council, Cambridgeshire Young Lives and Britten Sinfonia. It was funded by Youth Music.
Last Chance and the Ely PRU Crew
We worked with two Pupil Referral Units during 2008-09: Chance in Cambridge and Ely PRU. Both projects were led by Simon Gunton and both, in their own way, introduced pupils to a Baroque composer.
The Ely project began with a visit to the city's magnificent cathedral to watch Britten Sinfonia and Polyphony rehearsing Handel's Messiah. For many of the pupils it was their first visit to the cathedral, and for all it was the first time watching a choir and orchestra. Back at the PRU, the pupils and Simon talked about the story told in the Messiah, and compared it to a contemporary film, The Matrix. The pupils then set about writing their own "Messiah" stories and setting them to music. Guest appearances by violinist Lizzie Ball, percussionist Owen Gunnell and trumpeter Alex Cromwell added to their soundtracks, and the star of the show was rapper Tor Cesay, who helped the pupils write and record their own lyrics to accompany their music. The project culminated in a performance at Ely's Babylon gallery, in front of an audience of proud parents, teachers and friends.
At Chance PRU, we took the theme of "remixing Bach". The pupils listened to Bach Two-Part Inventions, played by Owen on the marimba, and chose their favourites. Inspired by Jem's song They (based on Bach's Prelude in F minor), they then recorded extracts from the Inventions, played by violinist Nicky Goldscheider and cellist Joy Hawley, and remixed them using Garageband. Tor joined us again for a lyric writing masterclass, and the highlight of the project was a trip to The Junction in Cambridge, where the pupils heard their finished tracks played over the club's huge PA - and a passing drum and bass producer dropped in to congratulate them on their fantastically professional sounding work!

Composers' Workshop
For this year's Cambridge University Composers' Workshop we were delighted to welcome Oliver Knussen, one of the UK's greatest composers, to comment and advise the students on their work. An ensemble of nine Britten Sinfonia musicians, conducted by Ryan Wigglesworth and fresh from a series of performances of works by both Knussen and Wigglesworth, performed pieces by Kate Whitley, Jonathan Coffer, Tom Kimber, Joel Rust and Frances Balmer.
General consensus amongst Britten Sinfonia staff and musicians was that this year's Workshop showcased some of the most talented young composers we've heard in a long while - all names to watch out for in the coming years!
"Amazing - [Knussen's] incredibly sharp ears picked out several details that greatly improved my piece."
"A really invigorating experience - thank you!"
Listen to extracts from the pieces
Composer and workshop leader John Webb and a team of Britten Sinfonia musicians spent two busy days at the Perse Pelican School in Cambridge, introducing the whole school to Britten's Nocturne. The theme of night obviously captured the young children's imaginations, because when we arrived they had already written a collection of beautiful poems about night creatures, lullabies and the sky at night. John and the musicians helped the children to set these to music, and at the end of the two days, they performed their very own Nocturne Song Cycle to a packed hall of parents. See the school's report and pictures of the project here.
"Everyone has learnt so much, and we have a unique and very special piece of music to boot! Brilliant!"
A couple of weeks later, our Cambridge audience enjoyed a concert performance of Britten's Nocturne, sung by Mark Padmore, and before that a fascinating insight into the poetry on which the piece is based, presented by Kate Kennedy. To read more about these poems and music, in Mark Padmore's own words, click here.
Horne in Handsworth
Britten Sinfonia loved working with composer David Horne as part of the Soundjunction project, so we were delighted when the opportunity came up to work with him again, this time as part of a Creative Learning project in Birmingham.
David, along with a team comprising Joy Farrall (clarinet), Juliet Welchman (cello) and flautists Christine Messiter and Anna Noakes, spent two days at Handsworth Grammar School, helping the year 10-13s to write striking, contemporary music for the Britten Sinfonia ensemble. Having learned about the instruments' ranges and capabilities, the pupils set about composing new pieces for between one and three instruments, which were then performed and recorded by the group. The project really pushed the pupils out of their comfort zones and into writing challenging and original music: as their teacher said, "a fantastic opportunity, which was greatly enjoyed and appreciated."
Sinfonia At Work
We enjoyed two great days with the Judge Business School (JBS). The first involved around 35 managers from Essex County Council, who were staying in Cambridge as part of the JBS's Executive Education programme. Fraser Trainer joined Britten Sinfonia and JBS facilitator Allegre Hadida to lead a Creativity Masterclass, in which the managers composed and performed their own music, all within the space of a couple of hours! Though the session was fun, the message they took home was serious: how can we best use the skills of our team in order to work creatively? Musicians, of course, do this all the time, as our team brilliantly demonstrated at the end of the workshop when, without warning, the unusual ensemble of violin, viola, clarinet and tuba had to improvise a piece based on words suggested by the audience.
In June we held another Masterclass with the JBS MBA students, who were fascinated to watch our string trio as they rehearsed and then performed a piece by Dohnanyi. Watching the rehearsal process up close really highlighted the way in which leadership is shared amongst the members of a chamber ensemble, and the complete trust and respect which they have for their colleagues' feedback. We presented the MBA students with their own Creativity Challenge at the end of the session, when they had to recreate the sounds of a rainforest, a restaurant kitchen and a train station, using only their voices and bodies. The results showed that quick-thinking creativity and teamwork aren't just the preserve of Britten Sinfonia musicians - Bravo to all involved!

JJ Abrams releases first footage from Star Wars 7, introduces a Tatooine alien and makes an offer no fan can refuse
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- May 22, 2014
FIRST footage from the set of the new Star Wars movie — AND a chance to appear in it.
Seriously, what more could a Force nerd want? (Actually, don't answer that).
Filming on the much-anticipated seventh episode in the blockbuster series started in Abu Dhabi five days ago.
Overnight, director JJ Abrams posted a video message in which he gives us a glimpse of the set, a fleeting introduction to a couple of characters and makes an offer that will have the fancore salivating.
"We want to put you in the movie, in Star Wars ," he says, before being interrupted by an alien.
The creature appears to be a resident of Tatooine, the desert home planet of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.
Alien invasion over, Abrams then tells how hopefuls can enter in a competition to be flown to London, meet the stellar cast — including SW old hands such as Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford plus new members of the team like Andy Serkis and Daisy Ridley — and win a role alongside them.
The stunt is part of a charity initiative called Star Wars: Force For Change, a project to help children in need with UNICEF.

College Hockey:Nelson scores two goals and assist, including game-winner, as North Dakota edges Colorado College
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — The only thing more explosive than the fireworks that followed each North Dakota goal Friday night at Ralph Engelstad Arena, was the scoring itself.
The Fighting Sioux and No. 4 Colorado College combined for 13 goals in a 7-6 Sioux win.
"We knew Colorado College is a tough team, so we had to come out on all eight cylinders, and I thought we did that tonight," said Sioux forward Danny Kristo. "Scoring seven goals is big for our team, and I think it's going to give our forwards some confidence."
Kristo and Brock Nelson each scored two goals and an assist, and Corban Knight had three assists to lead the Sioux. Rylan Schwartz recorded his second hat trick of the season for the Tigers.
Nelson scored the game-winner with 8:06 left in the game.
The teams wrap up the series at 7:07 p.m. Saturday at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
"We had chances on a couple goals to tie it late, but it was just one of those nights," said CC coach Scott Owens.
It took half of the game for both starting goaltenders to get yanked, each near the midpoint of the second period. UND's Aaron Dell had 16 saves on 22 shots when he was pulled for Brad Eidsness. CC goalie Joe Howe replaced Josh Thorimbert, who finished with 14 saves on 19 shots.
Perhaps Thorimbert wasn't fully to blame for the goals he allowed in the first period.
Kristo carried the puck from the corner to the crease, untouched, and backhanded it between Thorimbert's left arm and the post 26 seconds into the game. Knight made an excellent no-look, behind-the-back pass to Carter Rowney, left alone in front of Thorimbert, for a power-play goal at the 7:08 mark.
The CC defense forgot about Michael Parks, also left alone in front of Thorimbert, with 5:20 left in the period for another Sioux goal.
"I was disappointed with the way we reacted defensively down low," Owens said. "We got walked out of the corner, and I was disappointed with that, initially."
A Mike Boivan shot from the point hit bodies in front and Rylan Schwartz got the puck and turned around to put into an open net at 12:04.
The Tigers tied it 29 seconds into the second period when Gabe Guentzel ripped a shot from the point that hit double iron and popped back to the ice in front of Dell. The immediate response from both teams was to continue play, but the play was called a goal. It was not reviewed.
UND grabbed another two-goal lead when Nick Mattson and Nelson scored 1:10 apart, but CC came storming back to take the lead on a goal by Nick Dineen and two more by Schwartz in a span of 3:13.
However, Kristo, the guy that started this scoring frenzy in the game's first minute, came through on an unassisted goal when he blocked a CC outlet pass and shot the puck past Howe's glove side.
"I thought that was the most important part of the game for our team," said UND coach Dave Hakstol.
Eidsness shut the Tigers out on 13 shots in the game's final 29 minutes. Howe allowed two goals on 13 shots.
"I don't think Aaron Dell allowed a bad goal until the fifth goal, but we needed to make a change for our team," Hakstol said. "Brad did a great job going in and gave us a chance to win."

Beware of Saliva Testing
Some compounders test saliva to measure hormone levels and to document the need for bioidenticals, as well as to track how they're working, so they can tweak the formula every few months. Saliva tests are said to measure the level of "free" hormone, the active form that's not bound to a carrier protein. "It's being promoted as more accurate than blood tests but is very unreliable," says endocrinologist Neil Goodman, MD. Even if saliva tests accurately reflected hormone levels, body levels fluctuate so much during the day that it would be hard to know what to make of a single sample. (To compensate, some high-end kits contain enough supplies for four tests during the day.) But here's the kicker: Even though hormone levels fluctuate, they're meaningless when considering menopausal symptoms. "Menopausal women with symptoms don't have different levels than menopausal women without symptoms," Adriane Fugh-Berman says. "You can't give a doctor the results of lab tests and ask her to tell you which women are having hot flashes. Some people with virtually undetectable estrogen levels sail through menopause with no symptoms. And other women who don't have low estrogen levels have terrible hot flashes. So there's no correlation and no ideal level." Not all bioidentical prescribers or makers endorse the saliva tests.
Allergist Steven Hotze agrees that menopausal symptoms, rather than lab tests, are the key to prescribing estrogens: "You don't get blood tests when you give Premarin — you just give a dose close to what the body produces and see what happens. If you're thirsty, then we would bring you a drink of water. If you're still thirsty, we bring another glass — until you are no longer thirsty. In the same way, we replenish the hormones until you feel well," he explains.
What's Right for You?
Commercial or Compounded?
Taking hormones — from whatever source and in whatever form — is a choice. Some factors to consider:
Try lifestyle changes first. "Low-risk things, such as exercise, may help you get a good night's sleep and have an easier time with menopausal symptoms. I recommend them way before I consider hormones, whether bioidentical or not," Nananda Col says. Go low. "Whether you try a commercial or a bioidentical compounded hormone, seek the lowest effective dose for the shortest time," says endocrinologist Neil Goodman. How to find it? Col suggests trying the lowest dose for four to six weeks, then moving gradually higher if needed. After a year, try tapering off the hormones and see what happens. Take it for the right reasons. No matter what the type, rely on hormone therapy only for symptom relief, not to achieve vague goals, such as hormone balance or enhanced well-being. Encouraged to try compounded hormones? "Ask if there's a therapeutically similar commercial product that can deliver the same active ingredient," says pharmacist and internist Bruce Bouts. "If the answer isn't clear, get a second opinion from an independent pharmacist." If you opt for compounded hormones, "Ask to see the compounding pharmacy's quality control reports, showing how close its products are to what's on the label," suggests Jane Murray, MD, a family physician with an integrative medicine practice in Mission, Kansas. Do a reality check. Assume that the safety concerns with compounded hormones are the same as commercial ones until proven otherwise.
Comparing Hormone Costs
Here's what you can expect to pay if you opt for conventional hormone therapy, notes ob-gyn Wulf Utian.
Initial visit: $200 to $375
Follow-up appointments: None; an annual exam is adequate
Lab tests: None
Hormone prescription: $35 to $75 per month
BodyLogicMD, a physician network specializing in bioidentical hormones, quotes these estimates.
Initial visit: $250 to $375
Follow-up appointments: About every six months, $125 to $250 per visit
Lab tests: $200 to $400 per visit
Hormone prescription: $25 to $75 per month

STANFORD, Calif. - Last year's Washington matchup: Total domination.
This year: Don't expect the same.
Stanford's 65-21 victory over the Huskies last season set the standard for the type of game Stanford aspires to play - a down-and-dirty power-running carnival.
Besides the fact that Stanford rushed for a school single-game record 446 yards - and had three rushers (Stepfan Taylor, Tyler Gaffney, and Anthony Wilkerson) over 90 yards - the game was notable because All-America quarterback Andrew Luck described it as his proudest performance.
Luck passed for only 169 yards - a figure that may have damaged his Heisman Trophy chances - while completing 16 of 21 passes for two touchdowns without an interception. But it wasn't his passing that defined his performance. Rather, it was his play-calling. Luck came to the line of scrimmage with several options, and made the calls that could best exploit the defensive scheme.
"We put a lot on him," said David Shaw, Stanford's Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football. "We were changing plays, checking plays, putting three different front plays in the huddle, and he could throw all that out and change to a fourth play."
Judging from the results, Stanford rarely took a snap against a bad look.
"He did not make a single mistake in that game," Shaw said. "That is phenomenal."
Stanford's rushing success was largely a reflection of Luck's ability to put the offense in the best position possible.
"Whenever we feel like we're running the ball really well, we stay with it," Shaw said. "We had a really good passing gameplan for that game, but we just put it in our back pocket."
Washington, under new defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox, switched to a 3-4 scheme this season that seems to better fit their personnel, Shaw said. Plus, the Huskies play a more physical style. Shaw is doubtful the Stanford will even attempt the volume of running plays featured in the 2011 rout.
"We don't anticipate that happening again," Shaw said. "We expect more of a balanced attack from us."
* * *
Washington quarterback Keith Price is dangerous not just because he's mobile, but because he also has a strong arm. The combination of the two adds to the demands facing the Stanford secondary on Thursday for their Pac-12 North showdown in Seattle.
"The big thing is the defensive backs realizing that the average play is five or six seconds, but with this guy it might be seven or eight," Shaw said. "He's the X-factor, and when a quarterback can make the defensive backs cover for three more seconds, that's tough."
* * *
With school having begun Monday, demands on players have grown. The team had spent eight weeks on campus before the beginning of the fall quarter.
What is the key to handling the vast responsibilities of being a Stanford student-athlete?
"Time management," Shaw said. "I've been harping on it for a week now. Guys make sure they get their sleep. Guys make sure they eat enough and eat properly. Make sure they communicate with us when they have time constraints or time conflicts.
"Bottom line, when it's time for academics, there should be nothing else in the world that matters. And when it's time for football, there should be nothing else in the world that matters."
* * *
Outside linebacker Trent Murphy is 6-foot-5 and 260 pounds and finally coming into his own as a redshirt junior.
Murphy arrived from Brophy Prep in Phoenix at 217 pounds. He sat out his first two years due to injuries and rehab. Last year, he established himself as a starter despite missing nearly two full seasons.
Going into the Fiesta Bowl, Shaw said "Trent has the ability to be one scary football player. It's scary to think how good he's going to be when he has an off-season to not just rehab, but truly train and continue to get more explosive. We're really excited about his future."
Well, Murphy finally got a full off-season to prepare. He had six tackles, forced a fumble, had two tackles for loss, and one sack against Matt Barkley and USC in the Cardinal's 21-14 victory.
"He's been trying to gain weight for two years," Shaw said. "He's finally gotten there. He's becoming a force and he's going to continue to improve."
Murphy will be one of those players who bears watching after the season. He could be tempting pick in the NFL Draft, but also has up to two years of eligibility remaining.
"He's one of those guys who we've seen mature on our defense," Shaw. "He's a valuable part of that group, of tough physical guys who have a lot of experience."
* * *
Stanford has made it a priority to use the screen pass more often this season, Shaw said. It would accomplish two things, to get Taylor out in space, and slow down the pass rush by giving the rushers something else to think about.
* * *
Jordan Williamson will be on the spot after missing three field-goal tries against USC, including one that was blocked. But Shaw reports his kicker has looked good since.
"The field goal is all about timing and technique," Shaw said. "When he's on, he's as good as anybody in the country. When he's not, then he's not. He knows that. It's all about consistency.
"He's coming off a great week of practice. We've just got to make sure it transfers to the game."
The team can't fully simulate a game situation in practice, but it can try. Williamson has kicked against a live rush and with a play clock running down. In addition, coaches have simulated timeouts, so that Williamson repeatedly had to leave the field and return, and recalibrate his step pattern.
* * *
Remound Wright and Ricky Seale have combined for only nine carries and 24 yards rushing this season, but with Taylor's backup, Wilkerson, out for this game, Shaw promises that the two will receive much more playing time.
Against USC, neither player had received enough practice reps for the coaching staff to feel comfortable giving them a lot of responsibility. Plus, Taylor was in the midst of a 213-yard all-purpose performance, which kept them largely off the field. Now, with greater practice time, the opportunities for Wright and Seale are here.
"We only recruit complete backs," Shaw said. "And those guys are complete backs. They're very good at everything. They're very good at pass protection, they can catch the ball. For those guys, it's just about opportunities."
* * *
The play call on the go-ahead touchdown in Stanford's 21-14 victory over USC, on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Josh Nunes to tight end Zach Ertz with 10:20 left, was aptly called "Trojan."
However, that call was not presented for the USC game. It had been in the playbook for a couple of years, and was used by Griff Whalen to score against Oregon last year.
* * *
Ertz paid special attention to improving his pass-catching ability during the off-season, going out to the field with assistant equipment manager Ted Hanson to use the Jugs machine.
Ertz made an effort to catch 100 balls a day, including a number of one-handed catches each session.
While fellow tight end Coby Fleener took advantage of his speed to get open last year, Ertz uses strong breaks and cuts in his pass patterns.
* * *
Sophomore strong safety Jordan Richards has formed a strong partnership with free safety Ed Reynolds in the secondary. The two have combined for five interceptions this season.
Richards said it's only fair.
"With the front seven that we have, we know we have to uphold our end of the bargain as a defense," he said.
The Folsom, Calif., native said he was influenced by the big hitting of former teammate Delano Howell, now with the Buffalo Bills.
"Watching him, I said, `That's how I want to play,'" Richards said. "I pride myself on being in the right spot to make big hits."
* * *
Stanford right tackle Cameron Fleming was disappointed to miss the Space Shuttle Endeavour's ceremonial flight over the Bay Area last week.
"I didn't know about it," he said. "I just saw the pictures in the paper."
Fleming has an interest in the space industry. His father was an Air Defense Officer and the family lived in Houston, NASA's home base.
Fleming is majoring in aeronautics and astronautics. He once considered the possibility of being an astronaut.
"But I'm too big," said the 6-6, 314-pounder.
* * *
Murphy's defensive line at Brophy Prep was nicknamed the "Junkyard Dogs." All of them shaved their heads before the season. It's a tradition Murphy thinks Stanford should consider.
"When you see a group of guys with shaved heads, it's kind of intimidating," Murphy said. "I'd like to see it here, too."

You got that right. Humans are grouped into the "animals" category too. I believe that humans are more unpredictable and dangerous than dogs, sharks, snakes, or whatever else you want to throw out there...combined.

If I consider equations of motion derived from the pinciple of least action for an explicilty time dependend Lagrangian
$$\delta S[L[q(\text{t}),q'(\text{t}),{\bf t}]]=0,$$
under what circumstances (i.e. which explicit functional $t$-dependence) is the force conservative?
By force I understand here the term on the right hand side of the equation, if I shove everything to the right except the expression $mq''(t)$.
As a sidenote, besides the technical answer I'd be interested here in some words about the physical motivations involved. I'm somewhat unhappy with a formal $\text{curl}[F]=0$ condition, since it seems to be to easy to fulfill (namely we have to consider closed circles only at single points in time, respecively). The physical motivation behind conservative forces is the conservation of energy on closed paths, where any parametrization $q(s)$ of curves can be considered. But practically, only loops tracked in finite time are physically realizable, i.e. we would move in a circle while t changes.
I guess as soon as one computes the r.h.s. for the equations of motion, one would also be able to define a more physical alternaltive to the above stated idea of conservative forces in this case. I.e. a ask-if-the-forces-integrate-to-zero-on-a-closed-loop functional for a rout between two points in time $t_1$ and $t_2$. This would be an integral where the momentarily force along the point in the path I'm taking would be taken into account. It wouldn't be path independend of course. (We could then even construct another optimization problem on its own, by asking for path with the smallest energy difference, which really would be a sensible question if friction is involved.)

Last Thursday evening, PBS featured a student discipline program to curb conflict on campus called "restorative justice", based upon the experience of Hinkley High School in Aurora, Colorado. The premise is that suspending students for fighting is not effective discipline. This new approach features gathering the students involved in an altercation with their parents and administrators to resolve the conflict with open communication leading each party to take responsibility for their own part.
According to the report this type of conflict resolution has resulted in a more peaceful campus community with fewer suspensions.
On the surface this looks like a good development.
Lisa Berry, founder of BRAVE Society in Carmichael, concurs that helping students to resolve conflict in ways that restore a relationships as fellow students on campus is a good thing. However, she also expresses concern that a hyper focus on going through the motions of making peace is one piece of the puzzle.
What happens when conflict and abuse is not on the radar of adults? The cyber communications makes it easy to conceal and elude accountability.
In the end, without individual accountability on the part of parents to socialize their own children with citizenship skills that inspire empathy, all children remain at risk of cyberbullying .
According to Berry, her son Michael took his own life on his 17th birthday in 2008 because the individual who started a rumor about her son's sexuality and then nurtured it into a murderous harassment campaign that robbed her son of all affiliation and affection of friends and fellow classmates, was an example of a child who was never truly expected to be accountable for how his actions impacted others.
No empathy.
"I think if most parents are brutally truthful they know if their kids are bullies," she said. "I also think if parents refuse to deal with their kids then they need to be held accountable."
According to Berry, in Michael's case the bully attack was not known by adults because the cyber communications enabled all of the kids to keep it hidden; and her son tried to get help from administration who did not grant him an audience because he was not perceived as a child "at risk". Berry explains that the letter her son left revealed that the shame of being degraded so badly was too much humiliation to share with his parents and then when attempts to get help from administration failed, he concluded there was only one way out.
Berry encourages all parents to monitor mobile phone communications and hold their own children accountable for what they say and how they say it. "Parents should put themselves in the shoes of the child impacted by your own child's communications," she said. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We all need to be accountable for how our own actions impact others."

A Washington woman was accidentally delivered a package containing nearly 10 pounds of marijuana.
According to the Associated Press, the marijuana was sent from Fresno, California by express mail, and was worth approximately $40,000.
The former Postal Service worker said she mistakenly thought it is for her and didn't check to see if it was addressed to her before opening it. As soon as she discovered the packages of cannabis she called the U.S. Postal Inspector and police.
D.C. Police have arrested her neighbor, 24-year-old Delmario Henry in connection to the case. Henry is now facing two drug charges. Police are still investigating the package and its origins.
