The Indian International Fair Association was organized in Muskogee, Indian Territory, in 1875. Mr. John A. Foreman, one of
the town's first citizens, was the first president and Mr. Joshua Ross, a prominent Indian merchant, was the first secretary.
These men felt that an enterprise of that kind would be of interest and great benefit to the people of the town and also to
those of the surrounding country.
The first fair was held that year under a large tent at the corner of what is now Cherokee and Cincinnati streets. The exhibits
consisted of all varieties of farm produce and livestock. In the woman's department could be found an exhibit of preserves,
jellies, pickles, cakes, and bread. Needlework of all kinds with a department for children was included.
At the time the association was organized the intentions of the officials was to make it an enterprise for the eastern part
of the territory only, but encouraged by the interest manifested in the new venture they decided to make it an international
affair and include the western tribes or "Plains Indians." It was then that the location was moved farther east to where the
Muskogee General Hospital now stands. A long barn like plank building was erected and the entire grounds, including the race
track, was enclosed with a high board fence.
As horse racing had always been a popular amusement among all Indians, that was one of the chief attractions. Race horses
were brought from adjoining states and competed with the race horses owned by the Indians. The mile race track located where
Spaulding Park now is was always put in perfect condition for the occasion.
The Western or "wild" tribes of Indians came bringing their herds of ponies with them. The tribes represented were: the Sac
and Fox, Comanches, Arapahoes, Cheyennes, Shawnees, Osages, and the Delawares. The first year they camped on the outside of
the enclosure but one night almost all of their ponies were stolen and had to be paid for by the association and that almost
bankrupted the treasury.
The Indians brought their own tents and tepees and set them up inside the enclosure as they refused to camp on the outside
again. They were a picturesque group with their gaily colored blankets they had woven and their imposing head-dress. The head-dress
of the chiefs was made of eagle feathers, but no one
Page 414
else could wear eagle feathers. Several beeves were always prepared for them, furnished by the association. One beef was slaughtered
each morning and divided among them and cooked over their own camp fire. As they all seemed to like their meat rare they never
waited until it was well cooked but would eat it with the blood still running out.
The Indians always welcomed visitors to their tepees and it was my delight as a small child in company with my little cousins,
the Ross children, to wander among their camps.
After a year or so, a larger, more convenient building was erected on the same location. It was a round two-story structure
with four entrances and was called the Dinner Bucket. Large posts supported the upper floor throughout the building. They
were always twined with cedar and the entire interior was decorated with red, white and blue bunting and evergreens.
The exhibits were tastefully arranged, the women's department occupying one-quarter of the space. Salesmen from all adjoining
states came and displayed their wares. A leading jewelry firm of Fort Smith always had an exhibit with a fine stock to select
I think my first great disappointment in life came when at the age of six on my first visit to the fair when I proudly went
on a purchasing tour with a whole "quarter" to squander. I selected a ladies' gold watch and went to ask my mother's approval.
On learning that the price was fifty dollars and it could not be bought for a quarter, my disappointment knew no bounds and
my pleasure for the day was ruined.
Along with the race horses came their trainers and riders and also the crowd that followed the racing. The men always slept
near their horses to guard them for fear something would be done to injure them. Often a faithful watch dog was tied in the
stall with the horse. The riders were a colorful group when they came out on the track with their brilliant satin shirts with
their number on the back in a contrasting color. Betting ran high and thousands of dollars changed hands. A prize was always
given to the best woman horseback rider. You could take your choice between the money and a fine side-saddle. Mr. Ross' two
daughters, Rosalie and Susie, each were awarded the prize. Mrs. Will Robinson, now living in Muskogee, and I were also winners.
I rode my own saddle horse that I had been carefully grooming for weeks past. As I was under the required age and do not know
how I came to be accepted in the contest, I tried to look as dignified and sedate as possible. The women of the wild tribes
were in a class by themselves as they rode barebacked and astride. On one occasion when a woman was awarded
Page 415
the prize she refused to accept a woman's saddle but took a man's saddle.
One of the most attractive things to me was the silver ornaments the men of the wild tribes wore, particularly the chiefs.
Crescents, stars, all kinds of emblems cut from pure silver as thin as a knife blade securely attached to a long cord that
fastened to their head-dress of eagle feathers and hung almost to the ground. I do not know where the silver came from, from
which their ornaments were made, but the paints they used on their faces and bodies came from the paint rocks in their own
They adopted the white men's clothes by degrees. I remember of meeting a big six foot Osage Chief after a hard rain one evening.
He was clad in a beaded shirt, black broadcloth trousers, a long linen duster, was barefooted, with a gorgeous string of ornaments
fastened to his eagle feather head-dress that nearly reached the ground; with his trousers rolled up he splashed through the
Another thing that thrilled me was the big dinner bell that always rang at Buzz Hawkins' eating tent. Buzz Hawkins and his
wife were well known prosperous negroes, living four miles west of town. Every year they opened an eating place under large
tents. Mrs. Hawkins was a famous cook and you were sure of a splendid turkey dinner every day for twenty-five cents. I always
got a good seat as I was a fast runner and wasted no time when the bell began to ring. There were numerous places to eat but
none enjoyed the popularity that the Hawkins did.
It was in the early eighties that the first merry-go-round made its appearance at the Fair. It was a funny thing, operated
by little mules that went round in a circle. At first the children were afraid to ride but after they found out they would
not be killed, it was hard to get them off.
All kinds of skin games and gambling devices were prohibited and the Indian police who were the only officers on duty were
constantly on the watch but even then some crept in. No drinking was allowed and the crowd was always peaceable and happy.
The gates were opneed at nine o'click in the morning and closed at six p. m. The admission was twenty-five cents for one person
and fifty cents for a single rig and one dollar for a double team.
I was always glad when my mother was appointed on the committee to judge an exhibit in the woman's department as we got in
The United States flag floated from atop of the main building and could be seen from across the prairie for several miles.
A stomp dance was held each night by the Indians, on the second floor of the main building.
Page 416
The M. K. & T. Railroad which was the only road through the territory gave reduced rates and visitors from other states were
numerous. Distinguished men from Washington, D. C., and officials from the Indian department always came.
There was plenty of music as bands from Denison, Texas; Parsons, Kansas; and several Arkansas towns were there and played
all day. The bandstand was near the race track and the horses seemed to be inspired by the music, as well as the people.
The noted Belle Starr and her beautiful young daughter, Pearl Reid, were regular visitors and attracted much attention, partly
because of their notoriety and also the way they dressed. Belle always wore a divided skirt, a man's shirt and cartridge belt,
and a white felt hat. They were quiet and well behaved and never seemed to make friends with anyone.
As the distance of what is now called five blocks from town to the Fairgrounds was too great to walk, everyone rode. The livery
barn operated regular taxi lines to the Fair grounds charging twenty-five cents a trip.
Muskogee had three good hotels: the Mitchell house located where the Katy Station now is; the Strokey Hotel across the street
from it; and the Green-house on the corner of Second and Court streets, gave splendid accommodations and were always crowded
during Fair week. The Green-house was a large, two-story frame building in a large yard. It was operated by Mrs. Laslie, a
shiny black little negro woman whose husband claimed to be part Creek Indian. They took only white guests and no negroes came
in sight except the waiters in the dining room.
Everyone living in town expected their relatives to visit them during the Fair and for it and they were never disappointed.
The Fair was held each year the latter part of September, lasting one week. It was the outstanding event of the year and was
looked forward to in pleasant anticipation for months. It was in fact, a reunion of friends and relatives that perhaps saw
each other at no other time.
As the M. K. & T. was the only railroad, much of the travel was overland driving with buggies and teams.
Mr. Ross gave much of his time and strength to the work of maintaining the association and making the fair a success in every
respect. He was deeply interested in every department of it but he particularly wanted the visitors to be pleasantly entertained
and given a cordial welcome.
With the passing of the Indian International Fair, one of the most outstanding and colorful features of Indian Territory life

Visiting Assistant Professor
of Conducting Mitchell Arnold was guest conductor for the Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra last fall, and this spring he led the first concert in Santa Fe's new Lensic Performing Arts Center. He served as cover conductor for the Cleveland Orchestra in October and December 2000, and led rehearsals of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra in October 2000 and January and February 2001.
Professor of Music Theory
Warren Darcy '68 co-authored
Elements of Sonata Theory: Norms, Types, and Deformations in the Late Eighteenth-Century Sonata,
which is to be published by Yale University Press. Darcy's co-author, former Oberlin professor of musicology James Hepokoski, is professor of music at Yale University. The book "reconceptualizes the 18th-century sonata paradigm in terms of a genre-based theory of musical composition and paves the way for an understanding of the 19th-century ëdeformations' of this paradigm," says Darcy. The coauthors developed their theory over six years and Darcy has taught it in his upper-level music theory courses at Oberlin.
In February, Darcy presented a paper titled "Rotational Form, Teleological Genesis, and Fantasy-Projection in the Slow Movement of Mahler's Sixth Symphony" at a colloquium for faculty and graduate students of the Yale University Department of Music. His paper outlines new principles of formal analysis that he developed in collaboration with Hepokoski and demonstrates how these principles are compatible with other modes of analysis, such as Schenkerian theory. Darcy delivered the paper again in March as keynote speaker at a symposium on musical scholarship at the University of Minnesota and in May at the University of Cincinnati. It will also be published in the journal,
19th Century Music.
Darcy held research status for the 2000-01 academic year, during which he examined Mahler's use of rotational form in his symphonies.
Peter Dominguez, professor
of jazz studies and double bass, received the 2000 Alumni Award from the University of Miami-Coral Gables for outstanding contribution and service in the double-bass profession. Dominguez toured Europe with the American Sinfonietta in March, performing in Berlin, Stuttgart, Salzburg, and Lucerne. Principal double bass with the sinfonietta since 1991, he was recently elected to its board of directors. In August, Dominguez performed with the group at the Bellingham Music Festival and was featured in a jazz concert with Mike Marshall and Andy Narell at Western Washington University. In November Dominguez adjudicated the Violin Society of America's double-bass instrument-makers competition in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky and performed Schubert's Octet for Woodwinds, Horn, and Strings in Finney Chapel with the St. Petersburg Quartet, Associate Professor of Bassoon George Sakakeeny, and members of the Cleveland Orchestra.
Kay Edwards, assistant professor
of music education, recently presented two sessions entitled "Don't Let the Snakes Hear You: American Indian Folktales in the Classroom" at the Arizona State Music Educators Association conference. It was her third invitation to present to the group. Edwards also coordinated a September workshop featuring Constance McKoy '78, a former doctoral student of Edwards' at UNC-Greensboro, and a December parent-child workshop that featured Oberlin students Laura Shepherd and Greg Ristow as clinicians. Edwards was recently elected to the Ohio University School of Music Alumni Board of Directors and was honored by her high school alma mater.
In January, Associate Professor
of Music Education Joanne Erwin conducted the Pennsylvania Honor Orchestra in Pittsburgh and the Northern Ohio Youth Orchestra Chamber Groups in Oberlin. In February Erwin conducted the Northern Ohio Youth Orchestra in Oberlin's Warner Concert Hall. In March Erwin adjudicated for the Ohio Music Educators Association in Lyndhurst and Louisville, Ohio.
During winter term,
Professor of Accompanying Philip Highfill led a group of nine Oberlin students to Panama where they taught for two and a half weeks in the annual Youth Music Camp sponsored by Panama's National Concert Association. This was the 11th consecutive year of Oberlin's participation in the camp. Highfill also conducted two concerts given by the camp orchestra, which featured music by Schubert, Bizet, and Johann Strauss.
Professor of Ethnomusicology
Roderic Knight was guest editor of the Fall/Winter 2000/2001 issue of Asian Music (vol. 32, no. 1). The issue is devoted entirely to the tribal music of India, featuring five articles and numerous photos and maps. Knight wrote the introduction and an article entitled "The Bana, Epic Fiddle of Central India," drawing on fieldwork conducted in 1982 among the Pardhan people in Madhya Pradesh. Richard Kent Wolf '84, assistant professor of ethnomusicology at Harvard University, also contributed two articles to the journal.
Tom Lopez, assistant professor
of computer music and new media, hosted
a four-concert festival of new electronic music at Oberlin last November. The presenters included two dozen faculty members and student composers from around Ohio. In December Lopez, with University of Texas at Austin choreographer Yacov Sharir and University of Utah architect Julio Bermudez, presented a new interactive performance at the International Monaco Dances Forum in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The three repeated the presentation in March at the Center for Arts and Technology in New London, Connecticut, and again in April in Austin, Texas.
The Oberlin Finney Ensemble premiered Lopez's work Fireplace in December and
a work for solo piano, was performed in February at the Society of Composers, Inc., conference at Ball State University and in April at Heidelberg College.
They Hearken to Echoes,
a piece for two flutes, was performed in March in Syracuse and in April at Heidelberg College. Lopez presented his lecture "CinÈma pour l'Oreille: Aural Imagery" at the Cleveland Institute of Art in early April.
Assistant Professor of Music Theory
Joseph Lubben returned to Oberlin last fall after spending two years as a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Venezuela where he taught theory and analysis at the Universidad of Simón Bolívar, the Universidad Central de Venezuela, and the Instituto Universitario de Estudios Musicales, all in Caracas. He also conducted a seminar in Schenkerian analysis for professors of theory and composition at the latter two institutions and led workshops in analysis and performance at music schools in Mérida and San Cristóbal.
In June 2000, Lubben presented a lecture, "Grupos Algebraicos y Trans-formaciones Musicales," as part of a symposium on music and mathematics at the Universidad Central. He was a guest on the Venezuelan national radio program "Composers of the Americas," which broadcast his
Cantata Harmonia Mundi.

Marilyn McDonald, professor
of violin and teacher of baroque violin, recently performed with the Axelrod Quartet in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Little Washington, Virginia. In praising the Santa Fe concert, the
New Mexican
stated the performers approached the music with "sprightly reverence, and the result was excellent musically informed without being stuffy, ardent without being overbearing, and always elastic."
McDonald, along with Professor of Piano Monique Duphil and Associate Professor of Singing Lorraine Manz, performed in December at the Cleveland Museum of Art with the Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble, conducted by Associate Professor of Conducting Tim Weiss. McDonald also performed Bach solo violin sonatas at Grinnell College, as part of an ongoing project begun in the Bach anniversary year of 2000, and has performed in various venues since September as a member of the Smithsonian Institution's Castle Trio.
In a November concert
commemorating the Yamaha Corporation's centennial and the music of J.S. Bach, Maxim Mogilevsky, visiting assistant professor of piano, performed in concert with his wife, Svetlana Smolina, his parents, and his brother at the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music in Belgium.

Macworld.com –
Snow Leopard, the next major update to OS X, will be available in September, Apple announced during Monday's Worldwide Developer Conference keynote. However, OS X 10.6 will only work on Intel-based Macs, leaving the owners of aging PowerPC-based hardware without the ability to upgrade.
First announced at the 2008 WWDC, Snow Leopard doesn't offer the parade of new features Mac users might have come to expect from a major OS X update. Instead, much of the focus with Snow Leopard has been behind the scenes, with Apple looking to improve the performance and increase the power of its operating system.
During Monday's keynote, Apple senior vice president of software engineering Bertrand Serlet said the next major version of OS X would be characterized by powerful new technologies, refinements to existing features, and support for Microsoft Exchange.
Snow Leopard will cost $29 for Leopard users, with a family pack available for $49. That's a far cry from Apple's usual price on OS X updates--it costs $129 to purchase Leopard, for example.
"We want all users to upgrade to Snow Leopard, because Snow Leopard is a better Leopard," said Serlet of OS X 10.6's price."
Macworld will have more details on Snow Leopard's refinements and technologies shortly.

Symposium: Industrial Heritage in the Working Landscape
The BUFFALO GRAIN ELEVATORS are the largest extant collection of such grain elevators in the world. They reflect a very important part of our region's past, actively contribute to the current economic situation, and we propose, will play a very important part in the future of the region.
Heritage can be preserved and celebrated, older industries can be productive while new industries emerge, and landscapes can be used for recreation. This conference asked: how do we manage all three at once? Many communities face the challenge of how to tell the stories and preserve the legacies of industries whose time has passed while at the same time supporting the survival of the remnants of those very same industries and fostering the development of new ones. And all of this occurs on landscapes that offer unique opportunities for recreation such as the Buffalo River Urban Canoe Trail.
The conference looked at how other cities have managed their industrial heritage. An update was given on our current scholarship and on recent efforts to bring these artifacts and their social, cultural, architectural history into a public conversation about the past, present and future of industry and tourism in the region.

Why designer labels are dumping top names like it's going out of fashion
IT WAS a suitably minimalist departure for one of the best-known names but least-known faces in fashion.
Helmut Lang parted company yesterday with Prada, the Italian fashion conglomerate to which he had sold his name and, some feared, his soul, without a word.
Staff at the Austrian-born designer's flagship store in Greene Street, New York, had guessed there was a storm coming last week when he had several large artworks removed from the sales floor, along with other personal possessions.
Lang's departure as creative director of his eponymous company is the latest in a series of recent fashion casualties including the German designer Jil Sander who quit Prada for the second time last November.
The creative team that Lang put together will continue to produce…

Vietnam vet found passion for clowning
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, July 17, 2014
After retiring to San Antonio after a career in the U.S. Army that included service in Vietnam, Edwardo Arispe found his true calling as "Wero," a clown with a big red nose, curly wig, baggy pants and oversize shoes.
"I think the clown was in there long before he became a clown," said Diana McCurtain, president of the Jolly Joeys Clown Alley, the local group to which Arispe belonged for more than a decade.
"Whether he was in makeup or not, the clown was who he was. He always had a joke and he liked to play," she added.
Arispe, 66, died Saturday in San Antonio after an extended illness.
News Channel
Born and raised in San Antonio, he attended Fox Tech High School before joining the service.
During his 22 years in the Army, he received numerous decorations, including the Gallantry Cross and Palms. After his retirement, he met Mildred "Tootsie" Hepworth, who became his wife and supported his passion for clowning.
"He always participated in everything we did, from nursing homes to the children's shelter. He did the Battle of the Flowers Parade I don't know how many times. He always performed at the Witte Museum during National Clown week," McCurtain said.
Among his favorite roles was playing the "good fairy" in a regular skit.
"He'd do a routine for the kids. And to see him with fairy wings and a fairy wand was hilarious," she said.
Inez Esquivel, who appears as "Pandorfus," said Arispe was a true inspiration,
"The minute he walked into a room as a clown, he was like a bright light. He'd yell out loud, 'Is everybody happy?'" she recalled.
"He was amazing. He gave everything from the heart, and you don't find that much now days," she added.
Another member of Jolly Joeys, Donna Manna, often appeared with Arispe in her character "Donnabelle." As he was being slowed by age, she said, he began riding an electric scooter during parades and made it part of his act.
"Someone gave him a cardboard car, and it fit right over his scooter. He put music pipes on the back and he played clown music through them," she said.

Services: Visitation is 5-9 p.m. Thursday, with a 7 p.m. prayer service at Brookehill Funeral Home, 711 S.E. Military Drive. Funeral service at 11:30 a.m. Friday at the funeral home.
At the next meeting of the Jolly Joeys, Manna said, the clowns who knew and loved "Wero" will pay their last respects.
"We'll go outside and have a balloon release and say a clown prayer for him. We'll talk about him being up in heaven twisting balloons. And then we'll say, 'Bump a nose,' which for clowns means good luck," she said.

I know smooth, flat, tan colored spots are caused by a buildup of pigmentation so I assume white spots are casued by a lack of pigmentation...? Anyway, dd has 2 of these in addition to her tan colored birthmark and I'm unable to find any info about them.
It isn't usually that visible on white children until the summer. The fungus bleaches the pigmentation, and the sun further darkens the skin, but not the fungally-affected spots.
DS is mixed white and AA, which makes the tinea versicolor even all that much more visible. In addition, he possibly has ring-worm - ugh - he's a walking fungus factory, and his belly and calves are covered in white spots. We recently added "spots" to his growing vocabulary, as in, "It's time to put lotion on your spots!"
ETS - none of the first 4 pages of images of ringworm or tinea versicolor in Google images look anything like what my son has. They all are the most gory, worst-case images I have seen. I hope someone here can perhaps post a picture.
DS, 10/07. Allergies: peanut, egg, wheat. We've added dairy back in. And taken it back out again. It causes sandpaper skin with itchy patches and thrashing during sleep. Due w/ #2 late April, 2012.
If it makes a difference dd is 1/4 mexican, 1/8 native american, and the rest is white (mostly english). She isn't overly dark without a tan (pretty much looks like a white kid 3/4 of the year) but her spots were white enough to be visible before her summer tan.
ETA: just did a search and the first 182 pics that came up did not look like what dd has. So I don't think thats probable at this point.
I've noticed that eczema patches don't tan, either. My friend's kid would have huge white patches on his legs from eczema even though the acutal eczema didn't show.
Mom to three
My sister's is probably the most noticable, she has a large one on her back.
She has had people try to tell her it is dry skin but it doesn't go away with regular moisturizing.
I'll have to do a search on that. Her white spots (she has 2 of them) feel just the same as the rest of her skin, smooth and flat with no dryness or redness. One appeared sometime in the first year and is the same size now (a bit smaller than a dime) and the other just recently appeared on her upper thigh (same size and general shape). Neither are perfectly round, but circular-ish. The edge are a bit jagged and the shape slightly elongated however. There is no variation of color or tone within them, bumps, roughness, or ickiness of any kind within them either.
If it makes a difference dd is 1/4 mexican, 1/8 native american, and the rest is white (mostly english). She isn't overly dark without a tan (pretty much looks like a white kid 3/4 of the year) but her spots were white enough to be visible before her summer tan.
ETA: just did a search and the first 182 pics that came up did not look like what dd has. So I don't think thats probable at this point.
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.
dh (1/2 mexican) has one also. Maybe it is a birthmark and there is just no information out there about negative pigmented birthmarks. If it's a typical thing for certain races I do wonder how there is no such mention of them in any serach I've done online reguarding birthmarks. ??
Wait, the only thing I can find is that it is possibly 'nevus depigmentosus' which basically just means a spot with no pigment! It is more common in people of Hispanic and Mediterranean descent.
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.
Hi! I know this is very old, but just in case anyone was still wondering, this is what i know. I have one of these birthmarks on the top of my left breast, it is almost a perfect circle and has no pigment. i went to a dermatologist about it about a year ago, and he told me it was the strangest thing he had ever seen. I have wanted it gone my whole life because 1. it's ugly, and 2. if i wear anything with a low neckline it gets burnt. even in the winter, because it has no pigment it will just turn bright read and sting and peel! it's awful in the summer, because i am constantly slathering it with spf 50 but it doesn't help. the dermatologist told me there is nothing they can really do about it other than a skin graft. Honestly, i am considering it because of the two things i listed above, mostly the later. however he told me that in the mean time i can cover it with a couple band aids if i wear something low cut, and i can use self tanner to cover it a little, however that won't help the burning problem. He also said birthmarks like this are very rare, so feel lucky you have one! haha

If an offender lodges an application for parole, victims registered against the offender will immediately be notified by mail. This correspondence will advise eligible persons that they may make a written submission to the Parole Board about their concerns should be offender be released to parole. A Parole Submission Form will be included with this correspondence.
In this submission, the registered victim has the opportunity to express their concerns in relation to whether an offender should be released from custody and also to ask for certain conditions to be placed on the offender's parole order should it be granted. All parole orders have general conditions placed on them but where there are victim concerns raised, a Parole Board may include additional conditions at the victim's request such as:
A Parole Board may also place conditions on a parole order arising out of the factors which it is believed led to or contributed to their offending behavior such as the consumption of alcohol and drugs, directions relating to attending places where children congregate such as schools and shopping centres, not accepting employment which will bring them into contact with children. These are generally imposed by the board with no input from victims.
Registered victims will have a 21-day period, commencing from the date on the Victims Register correspondence, to make a submission to the Parole Board. The Victims Register will provide the registered victims with the relevant Parole Board contact details as well as sufficient details about the offender so that the submission can be attached to the correct offender application.
If an offender's parole application is refused, they may make another application generally after six months or after another condition such as the completion of a program targeted at reducing offending has been completed. The Victims Register will again provide the paperwork necessary to make a further submission to the Parole Board in the event that your wishes or your place of residence has changed.
Where the Attorney-General has requested that the Supreme Court make an order under the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2003 or the prisoner who has offended against you has contravened the conditions of the supervision order already imposed by the Supreme Court, victims of crime who are registered with the Victims Register are entitled under the law to make a submission to the Court prior to it making a decision. As an eligible victim registered with the Victims Register, the law requires that you be informed of both of these scenarios.
To make a submission, you MUST be the actual victim or the parent or guardian of a victim who is under 18 years old or who has a legal incapacity. However, making a submission is optional.
In relation to making an order, the court must decide to either:
Where the offender who has offended against you has contravened the conditions of an existing supervision order imposed by the Court, the Supreme Court will determine whether to:
The Submission form does not require you name or contact details. The offender may be provided with a copy of your submission. However prior to this occurring, all features contained within your submission which may identify you, such as your signature, will be concealed.
The Victims Register will provide your submission to the legal representatives of the Attorney-General. A copy will be provided to the Judge and again with any identifying features concealed, to the offender's legal representatives. Your submissions will be placed before the court and if the Judge needs clarification you may be subpoenaed to attend the Supreme Court (your contact details will have to be given to the Attorney-General's representative for this to occur). You should be aware that the offender may be in attendance in person. You should take this into consideration before you decide whether to make a submission. You do not have to make a submission and you will be informed of the Court's decision by the Victims Register.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Winning the Big East basketball tournament does not guarantee NCAA tournament success. Just ask Pitt, which had excellent basketball teams in 2008 (lost in the second round to Michigan State) and in 2003 (lost to Marquette in the regional semifinals) and didn't stick around that long in the national tournament.
|Da'Sean Butler watches the NCAA tournament selection show on Sunday afternoon at the Waterfront Place Hotel.
All-Pro Photography/Dale Sparks photo
Da'Sean Butler knows all about that.
"(Former WVU player) Mike Gansey used to say to me, 'Yeah we didn't win the Big East but Pitt will lose in the second round of the NCAA tournament and we'll go deep,'" said Butler.
Pitt is not the only Big East tournament winner to stumble early in the NCAA tournament. Syracuse won back-to-back Big East tournament championships in 2005 and 2006 only to get knocked out in the first round of the NCAA tournament. In 2005, Vermont stunned Syracuse and in 2006 Texas A&M squeezed the Orange.
Big East tournament winners Boston College (2001) and St. John's (2000) were second-round victims.
West Virginia, too, has tasted NCAA tournament disappointment, losing to Dayton in the first round last year. Butler remembers that game well.
"I know last year everybody was in a hurry to talk about Kansas and we never got to focus on Dayton. We paid attention to it in practice, but outside everybody was like, 'Oh, I can't wait to see you play Kansas,'" Butler said.
Obviously that never materialized. Butler said his sole focus is on a Morgan State team that won 27 games that included a non-conference win over Arkansas.
"We need to focus on Morgan State," Butler said. "That's my main objective right now."
"I thought statistically we were a No. 1 seed," said Huggins. "The disappointing this is, when they sit up there and say 'Let's look at the full body of work.' If you look at the full body of work, we were probably a No. 1, but I didn't think we would be a one – I thought we'd be a two. To be a third two is what I don't understand."
Huggins said using that to motivate his players is pointless.
"They're smarter than that," he said.
"The biggest challenge we have had is making an open shot," he said. "We just haven't shot the ball very well. We're going to guard and we're going to rebound, I think that is obvious. When you beat Georgetown on the glass by 14 with the talent they have, we are making a great effort to rebound the ball. We just haven't made a lot of open shots."
The last time West Virginia made more than 50 percent of its field goal attempts in a game was against Marquette on Dec. 29 at the WVU Coliseum. In fact, the Mountaineers have only shot better than 50 percent four times this year against Marquette, Cleveland State, Texas A&M and Long Beach State.
Eight times West Virginia has won games this year when shooting below 40 percent from the field, including three of its last four.
Da'Sean Butler believes some of West Virginia's bad shooting is the result of the other teams' familiarity with the Mountaineers, particularly in Big East play.
"It's the worst when you're like, 'Alright, they know I'm going to make this cut' and I can't really cut hard because it's pointless to make this cut," said Butler. "it's good to see teams that really haven't seen us play and aren't familiar with us."
"Everyone who doesn't play well says that," said Huggins. "I think he will refocus. I don't know about starting over because we're 31 games into the season, but I think he will refocus. He didn't play very well (in the Big East tournament) and he knows that and it's not a big secret. When you don't play very well you say I am going to refocus myself, which you should do."
In one appearance against the Mountaineers in Providence, R.I., on Feb. 5, 1983, Bozeman came off the bench to score 19 points for URI in a narrow 73-72 defeat.
Morgan State's top scorer is 6-foot-4 senior guard Reggie Holmes with an average of 21.8 points per game.
The Mountaineers' highest-ever finish in that poll was 12th five years ago in 2005 following West Virginia's Elite Eight run under former coach John Beilein. West Virginia's other season-ending appearances in that poll came in 2008 (17th), 2006 (15th) and 1998 (18th).
When UPI had the coaches' poll up through the 1980s, West Virginia made several appearances, including a No. 1 final ranking in 1958.
The Associated Press does not release a final poll after the national championship game. West Virginia finished the season sixth in that poll.

Very good points. I know one thing I did was take all the information I
have on my son's biological family and create a family tree for him. Right
now he is too young, but it may be important to him later. Also, he is
included in our family tree as well. Right where he belongs! I know some
purists feel that genealogy trees are for blood lines. Not in my book.
They are for my family lines. Heck...there are some blood relatives

Residential Rate Changes
Rate Changes: What You Need to Know
Rate Changes: What You Need to Know
You have the right to know how your energy bill may be affected. That's why we're letting you know about rate changes up front, so you can prepare and take control of your energy use.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted on July 3rd, 2015 to adopt a new residential rate structure. The new structure is more closely aligned with the actual costs of providing electric service and provides many customers living in high-temperature areas long-overdue relief from high electric rates. Under the current tier based pricing structure adopted in 2001 as a result of the energy crisis, 25% of residential customers, often those with larger families or who live in areas with high summer temperatures, have paid the vast majority of all rate increases.
More information about the CPUC rate reform decision and on our online newsroom.
Some highlights of the decision that will impact electricity rates:

This pattern is available from truebritknits.com for £2.50.
Headbanger. No place, the name just amused us. The pattern is called a 'drunken' cable as the cables are worked on different rows, so this could also be a headbanger of a hangover headband.
A monster headband, thick and squooshy and warm. Perfect for wearing on the slopes or for apres-ski or anywhere where it's rather nippy. Not much else to say, really, super-easy and fast to knit if you can do a basic cable.
2 x 100g balls, shown in Charcoal, col. 800.
Actual amount used: 135g/108m/117yds. (this includes 10% 'wastage' and is rounded up to the nearest g/m/yd.)
A better idea of the tension might be:
Tension: 20 sts and 10 rows of cable pattern measure 10cm wide and 5.5cm (2⅓") deep on 8mm nds.
The cable pattern is both written out AND charted.

Miley Cyrus Gets Her Birthday Wish: A Handful of Booty!
She's just being Miley! A brand new photo of Miley Cyrus surfaced this afternoon (December 19), showing the singer grabbing a stripper's bare behind.
TMZ published the photo, which was reportedly taken at the 20-year-old's Birthday bash back in November.
According to an inside source, one of the former Disney star's friends ordered a few strippers. One of the entertainers gave the birthday girl a special lap dance.
Everyone should have expected this because hours before her celebration, Miss Cyrus tweeted, "if I don't get at least one big booty hoe my friends are officially not my friends anymore," referring to 2 Chainz hit "Birthday Song."

The Central Coast Mariners' solidarity will propel a rapid recovery from a rare A-League lean stretch, coach Phil Moss says.
The Mariners' title defence appears in tatters, with three losses in a row coming amid a forced rebuild of the club.
Coaches and players have departed for various reasons during a bumpy season which took another bad turn on Friday night when beaten 2-0 by Adelaide United.
Central Coast have just one win from their past six games but still hold fourth spot with eight matches remaining.
"It's not something we're used to," Moss said of the bleak period.
"But as I have said all along, it's a rebuilding at the club. And we have to accept that we're going to go through a tough spell.
"We have bought some quality in the transfer window but we have lost a lot of quality as well."
Moss said the instability "rocks your consistency".
"We have to fight. And myself and my staff will work ... to turn this around," he said.
"I know I have got a bunch on players with a lot of pride in their performance, both individually and collectively.
"We're all on the same page.
"The one thing we do have at the club despite players and coaches coming and going this season is solidarity.
"And while you have got that, and you have got players that are prepared to run through brick walls for each other, then you have got a hope."
The Mariners were never in the hunt against an impressive Adelaide United, who surged to third spot with only one defeat from their past 10 matches.
"They (Adelaide) are playing a great brand of football ... they're a great side; they really are," Moss said.
"You would have to say they're real contenders now.
"They have got experience at the back. They have got a fantastic goalkeeper. And they have got players in the frontline who can hurt you in the blink of an eye.
"And if you look at the depth they have got coming off the bench as well, they have got real danger."

AMERICAN John Isner became the second international to quit the Hopman Cup with a knee injury on Thursday, casting doubt on his Australian Open prospects.
World No. 14 Isner's withdrawal ended the US team's bid for a final berth in the mixed teams event in Perth - and teammate Venus Williams' hopes of joining her sister Serena as a cup winner - while handing Spain a spot in Saturday's decider.
Germany's world No. 9 Andrea Petkovic ruptured the meniscus in her right knee on Sunday, which ended her hopes of playing in the Australian Open.
Isner remained confident he would be fit for the Open starting on January 14 and still planned to play next week's Sydney International.
He played with strapping on his knee when he lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France on Tuesday and later said he was suffering from ''a little tendinitis''.
But Isner said after withdrawing that he was not sure if that was the problem.
''I don't necessarily know if it's tendinitis,'' he said.
''It's sore and it's caused me a little bit of trouble and from that I'm not able to really load the right way and I'm not really going for my shots like I should.
''My plan now is just to treat it as best I can and see how it reacts.
''I do know I've always been a fast healer when I've had little injuries pop up here and there, so I'm confident I'm going to be fine for the Australian Open.
''It's not a great way to start the year but I'd rather it happen this week than in two weeks [at the Australian Open].''
Spain and the US were each 2-0 in round-robin play heading into Thursday's deciding match-up.
Spain was awarded a walkover and advanced to Saturday's final against the winner from group A, likely to be Serbia.

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
One of the joys of this job�in fact, of the imaging industry�is the diversity of the people. That really became clear to me during last month�s European Machine Vision Association Business Conference in Dublin, Ireland.
One bus ride was spent chatting with a distributor from The Netherlands, another with a French camera manufacturer. During one dinner I sat with a Chinese vision expert discussing the market in his country; during another, a representative of a Japanese camera company tried to recreate my name in Japanese. A networking break found me sipping coffee with a Brazilian, a Turkish woman and, of course, a German. Conversations were fascinating, informative and friendly.
There was, of course, the conference. The sessions were divided into machine vision markets, technology trends and business trends. The markets covered were those of the host country, along with Brazil, Russia, India and China. Technology trends included digital interfaces and machine vision in precision farming; and business trends covered key challenges for growing industrial imaging companies and the need for redesigning human resources policies and company structures based on the game-based communications habits of today�s youth.
The EMVA, along with the Automated Imaging Association (AIA) in the United States and the Japanese Industrial Imaging Association (JIIA) in Japan, are heavily involved in standardization. The organizations are working on a defined cooperative framework to smooth out the process and avoid duplication.
An update was provided on three standardization efforts, GenICam, EMVA 1288 and Lens Mount. GenICam is a generic interface that that will make cameras, transport layers (drivers) and libraries interchangeable. The working group has 60 members and is defining 200 camera features. Version 2.0 is expected to be released in the third quarter. Some new features will include Camera Link support, an extended transport interface and more camera features.

I too am looking to find a solution for HtDig on the hardware
side -- particularly from anyone who is running a large site.
However, I've been told that a lot of RAM ( >256MB) is not
necessarily a solution. Many motherboards, so an engineer told
me, cannot properly handle large amounts of RAM -- even though
they may have slots to allow for it. He said too much RAM on
these boards can actually slow the system down. I don't know if
the engineer was right or not.
My web server that htdig runs on (a P150 with 96MB of RAM) has
little traffic (22MB a day/ 2800 hits). HtDig has it's own 2GB
partition, but with 400MB in the DB directory, it takes 1-1/2
minutes for some searches.
While a separate server might be nice, and a separate, high-speed
SCSI drive dedicated to HtDig very helpful, it seems in my case
that a proper motherboard with 500MB or more of RAM on it would
be the most important. However, I'm still looking to verify this.
Thanks for any responses.

Other Pokemon who are evolved forms that are listed as Basic have Baby pre-evolutions, like Elektabuzz for example: Also, in the games, you can actually hatch a Snorlax without ever evolving it so it is basic in that way. answered Jun 7, 2014 by melcakes selected Jun 7, 2014 by Torterra02 Thanks, this helped a lot!! :D commented Jun 7, 2014 by Torterra02 Yeah, you're welcome. :) commented Jun 7, 2014 by melcakes Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Snorlax came quite a while before Munchlax was created, so it is considered a no evolution Pokemon sometimes. answered Jun 7, 2014 by Victini Victory Please log in or register to add a comment.

Luis Cruz and Edgar Huerta updates from the Mexican League, including Tye
Waller on both prospects.
Mexican League play
Luis Cruz and Edgar Huerta have been on loan to the Mexican League - and the Padres can pull the player at any time if they feel it is necessary.
"We have a working agreement with Mexico City," Tye Waller, the Padres Director of Player Development, explained. "We help each other out and that is how we got Miguel Ojeda."
Talk about a turnaround for Cruz. Since joining Red Devils in the Mexican League, Luis Cruz has been on fire. In 31 games with Mobile, the shortstop had 16 hits, six runs scored and one extra base hit. With Mexico, Cruz has 15 hits in 11 games with nine runs scored and six extra base hits. Through Sunday, Cruz has a ten-game hitting streak.
"He is a prospect and still is," said Waller. "He struggled in Mobile but that wasn't the reason we sent him down there. They lost (Los Angeles prospect Oscar) Robles and they asked if we could spare him. After the season we will bring him back and if there is a need prior to that we can bring him back."
Turnaround part II. Edgar Huerta has appeared in six games for the Angelopolis Tigers, going 2-1 with a save. He has allowed one run and holds an ERA of 1.69. With Lake Elsinore, Huerta allowed 15 runs in 12.1 innings of work.
"Huerta has had some struggles," Waller admitted. "He had a hip injury and some nagging injuries that have held him back. We thought that he could get more use and play against decent competition."
"Playing well down there can boost their confidence."
Portland won 10-5
J.J. Furmaniak tallied nearly half of Portland's 12 hits on the night. He went 5-for-5, recording his first five hit night since May 5, 2003. He has reached base in 15 of the last 16 games and raised his batting average by 25 points in one night, from .233 to .258. He also added two RBI's, giving him nine over his last eight games after recording four over his first 32 contests. Furmaniak is hitting .417 when he plays third base but just .202 when he plays shortstop.
Bobby Scales homered for the third time in two days, giving him a new career high in dingers with six. Scales had his third straight multi-hit game and third consecutive multi-RBI game. He is 6-for-9 with seven RBI's over the last three games with two walks. He has an on base percentage of .456, placing him fifth in the Pacific Coast League in that category, pending the outcome of
Monday's games.
Marty McLeary had allowed two runs through six innings of work but was tagged for three more in the seventh. He ended his night after 6.2 innings of work having yielded five runs on eight hits and a walk. He gave up two homers to Prince Fielder. McLeary has been boom or bust on the mound this season. He has given up four or more runs in four starts and two or less in his other five starts. The opposition is hitting .270 off him.
Mobile lost 1-0 in ten
Despite getting an extra frame, the BayBears managed just two hits. Nick Trzesniak and Ronnie Merrill recorded the only hits of the night for Mobile.
Kennard Jones struck out three times - the first time he has whiffed that
many times in a game this season. Greg Sain pinch hit in the ninth - in his
only at bat - and flied out, ending his ten game hitting streak.
Jack Cassel had gone ten outings without allowing an earned run, a span of 11.2 innings. He allowed the game winner - a solo home run. It was the first jack he has surrendered all year. Cassel, you may recall, had a span of 182 innings between 2001 and 2003 where he did not surrender a home run. Away from the Hank, hitters are batting .339 off Cassel, as opposed to .159 at home.
We are in every game," outfielder Paul McAnulty said. "I mean, there is over 90 games to go this season. We are a good team."
Jose Oyervidez' gem was lost in the scoreless game. He pitched 6.1 innings, scattering three hits and three walks while striking out four. It is the third time this year he has gone six plus innings and allowed three or fewer hits. Oyervidez has walked three or more in six of his nine starts. He has limited the opposition to a .176 average with runners in scoring position.
Lake Elsinore won 11-7
Fernando Valenzuela added another three-plus hit night to his resume, pushing the total to nine for the year while giving him 20 multi-hit games in 42 contests. He also added his second three RBI night of the season. Despite hitting .319 in May coming into the game, Valenzuela had knocked in just four runs during the month. He had been hitting .234 with runners in scoring position (RISP) on the year. He went 3-for-3 with RISP on Monday. Valenzuela did get charged with his first error of the season.
Steve Baker had a base clearing double in the fifth inning and knocked in four on the day. Lancaster actually walked Valenzuela to pitch to the hottest Storm hitter. It was his first four RBI game since April 21, 2004. He has 12 RBI's over his last nine games and has nine multi-RBI games on the year. Adding to the miracles, Baker also drew his third walk of the year - coming in his 31st game.
Brian Burgamy went 3-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and four runs scored. The last time he scored four runs in a game was August 11, 2002. The outfielder has 16 runs scored in his last 13 games and is in the midst of a six game hitting streak. He is 9-for-24 over the streak with five RBI's.
Clark Girardeau struggled through five innings, allowing five runs, four earned, on eight hits and two walks but managed to get the win behind Storm hitting. There was a baserunner in every inning off the right-hander. In nine starts between Fort Wayne and Lake Elsinore, Girardeau has made it through the sixth just once and is credited with just two quality starts.
Fort Wayne won 1-0
Clayton Hamilton won his seventh game of the year and seventh straight winning decision behind a seven inning, two hit masterpiece. He is now second in the Midwest League in wins, pending the outcome of Monday's games. He walked just
one and struck out a season-high nine. Over his last seven starts, Hamilton has allowed six earned runs. He has limited the opposition to a .159 batting average in May. His 2.11 ERA is seventh best in the league and he beat the pitcher with the sixth best ERA in the league.
"Clay has been consistent from day one," Waller said of the Fort Wayne hurler.
Matt Varner picked up his Midwest League leading 13th save of the year, striking out the side in order. The Wizards closer has allowed one run over his last 12 outings and has struck out 19 in 15 innings of work. In May, he is holding the opposition to a .185 batting average and he has gotten the leadoff man out in 12 of his 15 appearances.
Peter Ciofrone's double in the first inning plated the only run of the game and extended his hitting streak to seven games, a season-high. Ciofrone is 11-for-29 during the streak with four RBI's and five runs scored and is hitting .316 during the month of May. He has struck out just once over the last 13 games. He did ground into a double play for the second time in as many games.

McKayla Maroney & President Obama are "Not Impressed"
Still getting their well-deserved recognition, the U.S. women's olympic gymnastics team paid a visit to the White House on Thursday (November 15).
Known affectionately as the Fierce Five, the excited winners were treated to a meet-and-greet with another recent winner, President Barack Obama.
Gold medalist McKayla Maroney, perhaps the best known of the group (for her apathetic scowl while on the medal stand at the London Games), struck a trademark "Not Impressed" face alongside the Commander-in-Chief.
After the visit, the excited 16-year-old tweeted: "Did I just do the Not Impressed face with the president?"
