Nike Air Max Origins
Nike's revolutionary Air-Sole unit made its way into Nike footwear in the late '70s. In 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 debuted with visible air in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air-Sole comfort—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Nike Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.
Nike Flyknit Origins
Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners seeking a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability—all in one layer—was refined. The result is a featherweight, form-fitting and virtually seamless upper.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake beat Brigham Young University 1-0 in an exhibition match Monday night, getting a late first half goal from rookie MF John Stertzer to defeat the Cougars in front of a great crowd of 6,335 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Real Salt Lake ran out a reserve-laden lineup, using just one player on Monday who featured in the Claret-and-Cobalt's 2-1 victory over Seattle on Saturday night. RSL regular DF Chris Wingert played the final 30 minutes of Monday's match, his first game action since suffering a fractured right metatarsal last December.
RSL controlled the entire match, dominating possession and creating plenty of chances throughout the 90 minutes. Stertzer broke through for the Claret-and-Cobalt in first half stoppage time. MF Khari Stephenson crossed from the right corner to FW Olmes Garcia at the back post, with the Colombian striker heading the ball across the face of goal for Stertzer to nod in from less than a yard out.
Real Salt Lake continued attacking in the second half, nearly doubling the lead on several occasions. Garcia was particularly dangerous, getting to the end line seemingly at will throughout the second 45.
RSL Goalkeeper Coach and Reserve League Head Coach Jeff Cassar thought Monday's match provided some valuable experience for some of the Claret-and-Cobalt's younger players.
"We just want to push them along as fast as we can," Cassar said of the Utah side's youngsters. "The faster we can push them along with the reserves, the more they can help us out with the first team, so we're just putting a lot of energy into these young players so they can contribute to the full squad."
The Claret-and-Cobalt will return to training on Tuesday morning ahead of this Saturday's MLS regular season match at Rocky Mountain Cup Presented by Mark Miller Subaru rivals the Colorado Rapids. Saturday's match will kickoff at 5:30 p.m. MT and will be broadcast nationally on the NBC Sports Network.

Found a new second home!
Hiii! Well, I am feeling much better today. After nine straight days of work, I finally had a whole day off to get my act together. I've been very productive so far!
- Picked up my new glasses and got my contacts checked and okay-ed
- Took a tour of a gym and signed up!!
- Set up my utilities and a new credit card
- Ordered a new adapter for my computer
- PACKED. A lot. Got a good chunk of my bedroom done.
What's left:
- Find out if I can actually move in on Saturday!
- Pack up the kitchen and living room
I'm happy with that for now :) I'm most excited for my new gym!!! I signed up with GoodLife Fitness, which is a Canadian chain. There are two locations in my city – a large co-ed one, and a smaller women's-only one. I went to the co-ed one. The real selling points for me were 1) no sign-up or time limits on cardio equipment, 2) opens early in the morning, 3) a variety of group fitness classes held throughout the day, 4) a feeling of community. A woman dropped off a box of fudge for everyone while I was there, love it!
Check out the classes (which should increase with their Fall schedule):
Most of the classes are Les Mills programs.They're pre-choreographed classes used across the globe. Being a music snob, this worries me a little, but I'm also excited to try something that's been so successful! You better believe I'll be aaalll over those morning RPM (spin) and evening Bodyflow (yoga) classes. The schedule is different at the women's only location, so I'll have that to choose from too!
I signed up for a year membership, and they'll take $23 out of my account bi-weekly. This is a new expense for me, because my campus gym was free. I got to thinking about it, and I spend around $10 a week on packaged bars. If I cut that expense out, then it will pay for my gym membership. So expect to see some homemade bar concoctions soon. Feel free to share your recipes!
Oh! And I got a free book :)
Written by the gym's founder. It actually looks pretty good!
Okay, that's enough "new gym" excitement. I'll become a regular fixture there as soon as this moving madness is over, so you'll hear all about it then ;)
Trying my best to eat up the odds and ends. Breakfast:
Laughing cow, egg, smoked salmon on an english muffin. Orange with some freshly opened chunky AB (as if I'm going a couple days without opening a new jar of nut butter. That's the one exception!)
Pita and a peach. Last peach in the basket. I totally showed that basket who's boss.
- cottage cheese
- chickpeas
- butternut squash
- green pepper
- onion
- caesar seasoning
Half-eaten butternut squash, onion, and one apple are now the only fresh produce I have left in my fridge.
Two wasas with almond butter, raisins and cinnamon. One of my faves.
Packing also means I have to take certain items from their hiding places…
Which led to a mandatory handful…
Although, I don't think this should count. This banana almond cereal was part of my national banana day celebration ;)
The contents of my closet…
…in garbage bags. It should be said some of those bags are blankets, pillows and coats! Only a few more days in a disaster zone, then hopefully there will be some order in my life. 'Bout time!
Veggie burger with swiss cheese and some frozen broccoli and brussel sprouts sprinkled with parmesan. I feel the need to get a little green in everyday.
Some fun links:
Mark Bittman's ode to peanut butter and tons of ideas on ways to use it.
Eating take-out for lunch also eats up a huge chunk of your daily calories (still waiting for homemade pitas for lunch to catch on…).
Drinking cold water can boost your metabolism, especially in the morning.
Well, I'm off to finish packing up my bedroom. Since my cable's been cut off, I've been listening to old Jillian Michaels podcasts. A little dated, but I'm still learning lots! She mentioned the cold water boosting your metabolism thing too.
While I traded in exercise for packing today, I'm reeeeally looking forward to my long run tomorrow. It will be the first time since I started running again that I won't have to rush off to work after. I won't even have to set an alarm! That my friends, is luxury :)
Question: Do you belong to a gym? What do you look for in one?
See ya tomorrow!

20 books of interest from the 'second season' of this year's Civil War publishing (Part Two)
11. Baring the Iron Hand: Discipline in the Union Army by Steven J. Ramold (N. Illinois, October).
Sure, the subject's been covered in scattered places, but an up-to-date book length synthesis should be well received. Excerpt from the publisher's description: "Unable to prosecute the vast number of soldiers who committed offenses, professional officers reached a form of populist accommodation with their volunteer soldiers. Unable to eradicate or prevent certain offenses, the army tried simply to manage them or to just ignore them. Instead of applying traditionally harsh punishments for specific crimes as they had done in the antebellum period, the army instead mollified its men by extending amnesty, modifying sentences, and granting liberal leniency to many soldiers who otherwise deserved the harshest of penalties." In my view, enthusiasts and scholars continually misinterpret the policy vs. practice aspects of The Hard Hand of War, taking from it a much too broad interpretation of the degree of restraint among Union soldiers.
12. U. S. Grant: American Hero, American Myth by Joan Waugh (UNC, October).
13. Army Life: From a Soldier's Journal by A. O. Marshall, ed. Robert G. Schultz (Arkansas, November).
Looks like Schultz will have two books out this year. The journal of Marshall, a private in the 33rd Illinois, should prove useful for students of the Trans-Mississippi theater and the Vicksburg Campaign.
14. Portraits of Conflict: A Photographic History of Missouri in the Civil War eds. William Garrett Piston and Thomas P. Sweeney (Arkansas, November).
I reviewed the Tennessee volume from the Portraits of Conflict series a while back. The Missouri entry has apparently been in the works for a long time, and I am glad to finally see it scheduled for later this year.
15. Missouri's War: The Civil War in Documents ed. Silvana R. Siddali (Ohio, November).
I haven't examined any of the other books in this series from Univ. of Ohio Press, but my interest in this one should be obvious to any frequent reader of this blog.
16. Cavalry of the Heartland: The Mounted Forces of the Army of Tennessee by Edward Longacre (Westholme, November).
17. Blue and Gray Diplomacy: A History of Union and Confederate Foreign Relations by Howard Jones (UNC, December).
I'm not sure when the last complete scholarly overview of Civil War foreign relations, as seen from both sides, was published, but these types of books are always useful.
18. Isham G. Harris of Tennessee: Confederate Governor and United States Senator by Sam Davis Elliott (LSU, January '10).
20. Justice in Blue and Gray: A Legal History of the Civil War by Stephen C. Neff (Harvard, February '10).
Like the diplomacy study above, this one looks comprehensive. From the publisher: "Neff examines the lawfulness of secession, executive and legislative governmental powers, and laws governing the conduct of war. Whether the United States acted as a sovereign or a belligerent had legal consequences, including treating Confederates as rebellious citizens or foreign nationals in war. Property questions played a key role, especially when it came to the process of emancipation. Executive detentions and trials by military commissions tested civil liberties, and the end of the war produced a raft of issues on the status of the Southern states, the legality of Confederate acts, clemency, and compensation. A compelling aspect of the book is the inclusion of international law, as Neff situates the conflict within the general laws of war and details neutrality issues, where the Civil War broke important new legal ground."
Paperback Reprints:
* Red River Campaign of 1864 and the Loss by the Confederacy of the Civil War by Michael J. Forsyth (McFarland, July?).
* Civil War Macon: The History of a Confederate City by Richard William Iobst (Mercer, September).
* Mr. Lincoln's Forts: A Guide to the Civil War Defenses of Washington by B.F. Cooling (Scarecrow, October). There will also be a new hardcover edition from this publisher [both priced at a premium - $75 list vs. $50 for the paperback].
[Back to Part One]
3 comments:
Glad to see Cooling's book again. I've been trying for a good, cheap copy for a long time.ReplyDelete
Same here, Harry. If you've been checking over the past year, the three-figure prices on the earlier editions have come down significantly since the announcement of this new one (which has been considerably delayed). Nevertheless, I'd rather have the shiny new one.ReplyDelete
- Chris EvansJuly 18, 2009 at 11:14 AM
Interesting to see what Waugh will bring to the table about Grant. He is one of my favorite Civil War personalities to study so I know about the ups and downs that his reputation has taken. It will be interesting to see what new things she has to say. Grant has had some excellent work done on him by Lewis, Catton, and Simpson. And some very controversial work done by McFeeley, Perret, and Smith.ReplyDelete

Denver Post editorial: Signs of hope on the federal budget
Two hopeful signs on the federal budget occurred on Wednesday.
First, House Republicans voted to extend the debt ceiling until May 18. Democratic leaders in the Senate, meanwhile, said they expected to vote on and pass the House measure as early as next week.
Now, we'd have preferred Republicans push for a far longer extension of the debt ceiling that minimized the political wrangling. But their move at least recognizes that brinkmanship over the debt ceiling in 2011 had hurt the party and that in any faceoff with the president on the debt ceiling, they were likely to lose.
In another welcome development, Republican leaders also backed off their insistence that every dollar of additional debt ceiling be matched by a dollar in spending cuts.
It's not as if Republicans have given up their goal of restraining federal spending. Nor should they. Indeed, the House Republican proposal also ramps up pressure on the Senate to pass a budget by April 15, which that chamber hasn't done since 2009, by trying to cut off senators' pay if they refuse.
On that score there is also reason for optimism as the Senate's No. 3 ranking Democrat, New York Sen. Charles Schumer, declared Sunday: "We're going to do a budget this year."
In normal times, his pledge would be no more surprising than an association of bakers announcing they were going to sell bread. But these are not normal times. They're dysfunctional times in which the major governing institutions simply haven't been up to the job -- which is why Schumer's comment was so welcome.
It's high time senators approved a budget so Americans can see what their priorities are and how serious they are about reducing the deficit.
Schumer warned Republicans that a Senate budget is "going to have revenues in it. And our Republican colleagues better get used to that fact."
He means new revenues, of course, and he's right that some Republicans have drawn the line against any new taxes beyond those approved in the deal to avoid the fiscal cliff. But the way to find out if they're serious is for the Senate to pass a responsible budget that includes not just additional taxes but meaningful spending cuts and then let the two chambers try to work out their differences.
That's how Congress used to approach budgeting -- before the era of dysfunction set in.

NEA Announces Second Round of FY12 Grants (April 26, 2012)
Washington, D.C. – Orchestras will serve communities through a variety of educational programs for children and adults, free concerts, tours to underserved regions and populations, radio broadcasts, residencies, youth mentorships, and community engagement activities thanks to 40 grants totaling $1,035,500 in essential Art Works support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). NEA funding encourages and increases access to music in communities nationwide. In addition to providing direct support for local projects, NEA funding also spurs critical giving from other sources like private foundations, corporations, and individual contributors. The NEA requires at least a one-to-one match of federal funds from all grant recipients and on average, each NEA grant generates at least eight dollars from other state, local, and private sources, magnifying the impact of the federal investment.

Woman Who Asked Twitter For A Wedding Date Got MUCH More Than Just A Date
By Dave Basner
June 16, 2019
Two years ago, Maddie O'Neill reached out to the Twitterverse to try and find a date to a wedding she was going to the next day. What happened next is the stuff that fairy tales are made of.
Among the many responses she got was one from Chuck Dohrmann, a guy who was a year ahead of her when she was in high school but she wasn't friends with because she always thought he was obnoxious.
She gave him a shot and Chuck took the day off work to go to the wedding. It seems like things went well because two years later, Maddie just posted this on Twitter:
Yup - the pair will be having a wedding of their own now!
No word yet on if the wedding will be streamed on Twitter.

Deborah K. Alderson 1957-2012
Funeral service for Deborah K. Alderson was held Monday, Dec. 31, at Martin-Mattice Funeral Home in Emmetsburg. John Tomkins officiated.
Burial was in Rush Lake Cemetery, Curlew. The Martin-Mattice Funeral Home in Emmetsburg was in charge of arrangements.
Deborah Kay Alderson, daughter of Robert "Bob" and Ruth (Wood) Wermersen, was born Nov. 13, 1957 in Emmetsburg. She received her education in Emmetsburg, graduating in 1975. Following high school, Deb was employed at McNally's Bakeshop for several years.
On Nov. 29, 1979 Deb was united in marriage to William "Bill" Alderson in Emmetsburg. To this union a son, Bradley, was born.
Deb worked at Quality Caf in Emmetsburg and later was bartender at the Shamrock in Emmetsburg and Painted Pony in West Bend. In 2002 Deb began working for McNally Abstract Company where she was employed until her illness forced her to quit working.
Deb enjoyed spending weekends at her cabin on Lost Island Lake, where she would go fishing, swimming, or just sitting outside by the lake. Deb's family was very important to her. She had a very soft spot in her heart for animals, especially her dogs, Polly and Gunner, who always seemed to be at her side. Her parrot, Benji, often made her laugh at his antics and vocabulary.
Deb passed away Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2012, at Mercy Hospital in Sioux City, at the age of 55.
She was preceded in death by her parents; an infant daughter and an infant son; her husband, Bill, on Dec. 5, 1985; her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Harold and Naomi Alderson; and a sister, Tina Wermersen.
Surviving are her son, Bradley Alderson of Emmetsburg; her brother and sisters, Sheila (Gary) Anderson, Vickie (Robert) Schneider, Roberta (Paul) Colsrud, and Rick Wermersen, all of Mallard; several nieces and nephews; her aunt, Betty Johnson of Curlew; as well as many other relatives and friends.

An unusually small kindergarten class will likely lead to a drop in enrollment this year in the Fayette school district.
As of Monday only 20 students were enrolled for kindergarten, principal Dr. LuAnn Boyer said, so only one teacher will be needed unless an influx of students arrive.
Dr. Boyer said that at this point it's the smallest class she's seen in her 11 years with the district.
The average elementary school grade size last year was 36, which was also the size of last year's kindergarten class.
Secondary enrollment was near last year's level at 212.
FOOD SERVICE—Marilyn Kinsman was hired to serve as food service director for the district. Her one-year contract with a salary of $22,000 ends June 30, 2011.
Superintendent Russ Griggs told school board members Aug. 16 that Kinsman has already made some changes.
Griggs expects to see the cafeteria offering more food made from scratch and fewer processed items, along with other positive changes.
WATER—A water softening system will be installed to better protect equipment and to prolong replacement needs, Griggs said. A softener was used at the old school but was not part of the new school construction plan.
The system will be purchased through the school's maintenance fund—money that can't be spent for general education purposes.
FAST—Dr. Boyer said she has talked with Boy Scout and Girl Scout leaders about providing some enrichment activities for the after-school program so it isn't strictly remedial.
The program is now called Fayette After School Time (FAST).
TESTING—Secondary principal Dan Feasel told board members that junior high students retained an "excellent" rating for the third consecutive year.
SURVEY—The board accepted a donation of $568.80 from Garcia Surveyors to cover the cost of a topographical survey of the future athletic field site and other areas of school property.
BMI—The board joined many others in the state in a decision to ask for a one-year waiver before giving BMI (body mass index) assessments to students.
Griggs would like to obtain more information about the assessments before beginning the program. He's wondering if the district will have to pay additional money to the school nurse.
"We need more information before we start measuring people," he said.
PERSONNEL—The board approved several staff positions for the 2010-11 school year.
Bus driver, Carolee Hartman; van driver, Wendy Wyatt; substitute teacher, Cinda Metcalf; substitute bus drivers, Russ Griggs, Steve Hartman, LaWonda Keefer, Dan Seiler, Rodney Kessler, Jon Rupp and Rod Sommers; substitute custodians, Wendy Wyatt, Ryan Eberly and Gary Rice;
Cafeteria substitutes, Lynette Smith, Kelly Willeman, Diane Reinking, Ryan Eberly, Eloise Wyse, Lisa Rodriguez, Michelle Pilbeam and Doris Cuff;
Study hall monitor substitutes, Paula Ferguson and Eloise Wyatt; secretarial substitutes, Paula Ferguson, Chris Hylander, Lynette Smith, Michelle Pilbeam and Eloise Wyse.

How social sculptures are changing the cities
Artists (or at least some of them) are leaving the realm of autonomous art where they may be able to achieve radical self-expression, but cannot engage directly with reality in its extremes. For the interventionists, this isn't enough. They are out to improve the world: accomplices of the good life orchestrating unbidden moments in urban spaces.

Follitropin beta injection is used to treat infertility in both men and women. This medicine is a man-made hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is produced in the body by the pituitary gland. FSH helps to develop eggs in the ovaries of women and sperm in the testes of men. Follitropin beta replaces natural FSH in the body.
Follitropin beta will help develop eggs in women who have not been able to become pregnant because of problems with ovulation. Some women will use this medicine while enrolled in a fertility program called Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). ART uses procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or embryo transfer (ET). Follitropin beta is used together with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in these procedures.
Follistim® AQ Cartridge is also used in women with healthy ovaries who are undergoing reproductive procedures such as IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle. This medicine is used together with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in these procedures.
Follitropin beta is used together with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to increase sperm production in men.

This year's shark week just ended, but why not dredge up another cool shark story? Marine biologists from Stanford University found an unlikely surfer to help them track the migration routes of Great White Sharks: the Wave Glider robot. What will those brainy Stanford Trees think of next?!
The Stanford team had been tracking Great Whites for 12 years, and had tagged a number of the big fish to map their migratory routes between Northern California, Hawaii, and Northern Mexico. They recently integrated the latest communication technology into their study to provide realtime data updates.
The Wave Gliders are like other shark tag receivers in that they pick up and record signals from the tags when they come within 1,500 feet. But that's where the similarities end. The sleek robot-mariner can also follow the sharks somewhat more stealthily than a boat full of babbling humans.
To reach out to the shark fearing non-academic population, Stanford's marine biologists have created an iPhone app that will tell users where Great Whites are most likely hanging out. This sounds great for swimmers and surfers, but hopefully this won't fan people's natural terror of the ocean's greatest predator into hysteria. Shark numbers are dropping off worldwide, mostly because of the increasingly illegal practice of finning.
Having been a beach guy all of my life (except for the current Colorado bit), I always figured they're out there, swimming around in their ocean. I'd rather not know where they are, but am glad scientists do.

Re: Made fun of for liking Twilight?

There has never been a point were I am ashamed to be a fan. I can take all the ribbing that comes with it, and when people ask me whats my dream, I tell them: I want to be a vampire.

I wear my Team Edward jumper to school too so people think i'm totally sad. Some of my friends love twilight as well but not really as much as me. This is the only place where you can share your interest with people.
If anyone gives you any slack just say

Or just feel really sad for them because they are missing out on so much.

Still from Art21 Telethon, May 2012
There's performance: immediate, rehearsed and present; then there's television: distant, canned, and broadcast. One offspring of their coupling is the telethon. 'Telethon' became a recognized portmanteau of 'television' and 'marathon' with Jerry Lewis' aid in the 1950s. His telethons for the Muscular Dystrophy Association ran and ran: there'd be a song, a celebrity, a mail carrier, a joke, banter and filler. The marathon viewing sessions kept attention on the cause at hand by providing various entertainment in service of one goal: to raise awareness and funds for the organization. The camera was always on: in order to look away, the viewer had to hit the clicker to change the view (or turn off the box). Inside, the telethon continued.
Recently, Art21 held their own artist-led telethon. Hosted by Ronnie Bass, who had explored the format in 2007 in order to raise funds for his Performa TV piece, the event came to be after the NEA cut funding to the PBS art documentary program. Artists replaced entertainers to create some nine hours of durational broadcast performance streaming from Algus Greenspon Gallery to the Art21 site. It was telethon to its core, making up what it lacked in big-production finesse with performative sincerity, intimacy, and palpable camaraderie.
The telethon as a fundraiser makes less viable sense today: crowd-funding options are less time-consuming and presentation-intensive. What remains is its value as a style: the telethon as an experience that fills time with performance, and an endurance event in service of an objective.

Elderly woman in Southfield gets a warm home, free-of-charge
Emma Carter, a retired Southfield resident who owns the home she shares with her sister, can expect to be a lot warmer this winter thanks to Go Green Energy Consulting.
Co-founder Adam Duke is donating energy efficient upgrades to Carter's home, an effort that should cut annual energy costs 30 percent.
The upgrades were installed on Nov. 13 at Carter's home located on Fontana Avenue in Southfield.
Earlier this year, Carter contacted Go Green Energy of Southfield to tell them about her increasing frustration at her high energy bills. She has been paying $2,800 a year to heat her home, and noticed the furnace always seemed to be running -- a sure sign that heat is leaking out of the house. Duke performed a blower door test and discovered the amount of energy leaving her home was equal to a 3-foot gaping hole in the side of her house.
Living on a fixed income means Carter couldn't afford the improvements that would seal up her house and make it warmer and more energy efficient. Duke had been looking for a house to improve pro-bono, as a way to celebrate 100 houses served this year and to show the community appreciation for his growing business success. He offered Carter the improvements for free and she gratefully accepted.
"When people ask what I do for a living I tell them I keep families warm and happy," said Duke. "I've been fortunate to launch and grow a fulfilling business doing just that. But sometimes that's not enough -- sometimes giving back by donating to those who greatly deserve it is just the right thing to do."
Improvements that will be made to Carter's home include insulating the attic, rim joists and existing recessed lights throughout the home (a common but little-known source of energy loss), and air sealing done throughout. Go Green will also help Carter apply for rebates through Consumers Energy's Home Performance Program.
Go Green Energy Consulting was founded in 2009 by Duke, a Michigan State graduate who lives in Detroit. To get an energy test of your house, contact Go Green Energy at 248-233-7933 or email@example.com.

I have a love for theatricality;
art that captures a well-crafted truth;
and images that evoke the contrast and dynamics of a black and white photography in vibrant color.
Growing up in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan a career in professional theatre was never really a thought and New York seemed like such a far-off place. Fast-forward a few decades, and after almost 10 years touring the world with 8 different productions, I have fostered a unique blend of photographic knowledge and theatrical lighting design that allows me to truly understand the nuances present on the theatrical stage. My theatrical background sets me apart from others and allows me to better navigate the technical environment of the rehearsal process.
I have had the distinct privilege of photographing some excellent touring Broadway productions; with cast and creative teams that are some of the biggest talents in the industry. Productions photographed include The Wizard of Oz, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat starring Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young, and the first national tour of the TONY™ award winning musical, MEMPHIS starring Bryan Fenkart and Felicia Boswell. Imagery of these productions and more are located in the Production Photography gallery below.
I have had the honor of working with some incredibly talented people over the last decade, and was able to spend some time capturing images of them fully immersed in their characters. Imagery of the First National Tour of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, photographed for the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas; photographs of the First National Tour of MEMPHIS created for use on their digital properties; and portraiture of the cast of SHREK the Musical, captured for the cast members themselves are highlights. Additional Imagery located in the Character Portraiture gallery below.
I have a love for art and photography that captures a well-crafted truth; and for colorful images that evoke the contrast and dynamics of a black and white photograph in bright and vibrant color. With a background in professional world class production, I thrive at capturing moments that astound an audience in the highest caliber of production environments. I am an Upstate, New York based photographer specializing in location portraiture, theatrical portraiture, and production photography. I began my photographic career while on tour with Broadway shows and cannot wait to see where it goes next.
Lighting Design, both collegiate and professional, was the focus of my time in East Lansing, Michigan while studying theatrical design and production at Michigan State University. I consider myself fortunate to have this theatrical education to draw photographic inspiration from. Lighting a dancer on a stage has influenced how my photography is lit; frequently using strobe or flash to illuminate the subject in ways not even visible to the eye of the dancer until after the image is created.
I began my career in professional entertainment while studying at Michigan State University as a camera operator at the Breslin Student Events Center. Since then, I have worked in countless arenas and theatres around the globe and have been privileged to add quite a few concert performances to my photographic portfolio. I have found that my knowledge of lighting and understanding of the Lighting Director's mentality continuously helps me to ask the correct questions and capture the perfect moments.
I find it most rewarding to collaborate with other artists on an image. This is taken to the extreme with a musician solely because they are unable to include so much of their artistry directly into the visuals of a still image. I have been extremely fortunate to work with such incredible musicians on so many projects, and would love to collaborate with more artists on how best to showcase their artistry in an entirely new light.

The walled industry that is TV is about to be disrupted in a serious way.
On September 9, 2015, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the dawn of a new era in television when he launched the latest version of Apple TV, stating that: "the future of television is apps." With the new version of Apple TV, you'll be able to customize your Apple TV homescreen with the apps that you use most, adding new ones from an Apple TV app store will offer thousands of apps. Reviews from around the world, including Bloomberg Business, are already calling Apple TV a "game-changer," saying it will change the way people discover and consume entertainment.
Available now: the Ustream Software Development Kit (SDK) for tvOS
With the new Ustream SDK for Apple tvOS, Ustream customers can develop apps for Apple TV that can play live and on-demand video content inside the beautiful Apple TV interface. Now, any content can be available on the TV inside people's living rooms.
Business Blueprint focuses on Apple TV
Business Blueprint is Australia's leading business education company. In early August of 2015, they launched "The World's First 24 Hour Small Business Channel", using Ustream's player to expand beyond Australia and reach a global audience with their educational programs. Dale Beaumont, CEO of Business Blueprint, describes their results: "Currently we have been broadcasting 24 hours a day for 6 weeks. We've learned a lot about how to run a 24/7 channel and we are pleased with the results. We now have clicked over 18,000 subscribers."
Available via their web app, businessblueprint.com, Business Blueprint's content can be accessed on any smartphone, tablet, or computer. Beaumont and his team recognized the enormous opportunity presented by Apple TV and began working with Ustream to make their service available on the new platform. "Ustream was the obvious choice for us. We knew that they would be the first to respond to the new opportunities offered by the Apple TV." said Beaumont. "Our development team has worked really hard to reformat our web app so that it works on tvOS. Thanks to the support of Ustream, we are now ready to begin our submission to the new App store."
"We are extremely pleased with the result. It looks beautiful and most importantly it works! Our hope is that thousands of new people will get to see and experience our Business Blueprint channel and we can continue help more entrepreneurs around the world."

The number of Americans who volunteer their services to nonprofit organizations has barely moved over the past decade, and hit a new low in 2013, according to an analysis of federal statistics by The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Federal statistics that measure unpaid work for nonprofits and other groups show that the volunteerism stayed around 26% to 27% in the decade before 2013 — though it spiked to 29% from 2003 to 2005 in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The numbers remained relatively static despite efforts by various groups and community-services pitches by President Barack Obama and his family, The Chronicle said. A survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of 60,000 households about civilians who were at least 16 and did not live in institutions showed these trends in volunteerism:
- 2003: 63.8 million or 28.8%
- 2004: 64.5 million or 28.8%
- 2005: 65.4 million or 28.8%
- 2006: 61.2 million or 26.7%
- 2007: 60.8 million or 26.2%
- 2008: 61.8 million or 26.4%
- 2009: 63.4 million or 26.8%
- 2010: 62.8 million or 26.3%
- 2011: 64.3 million or 26.8%
- 2012: 64.5 million or 26.5%
- 2013: 62.6 million or 25.4%
Volunteers were defined as people who had done unpaid work (except for expenses) through or for an organization at least once in the previous year.
Cash Needed
Greg Baldwin, president of the online listings group VolunteerMatch, suggested to The Chronicle that the numbers of volunteers had dipped because nonprofits were still recovering from the recession.
On a hopeful note, he expected them to rise in 2014 because VolunteerMatch listings in early March were up 11% over the previous year.
"The reality is, volunteer engagement is a reflection of nonprofit capacity, its leadership, its resources and ability to engage them," he said.
The Chronicle cited studies showing that many nonprofits lacked the resources, such as paid coordinators, to manage volunteers well, and even those that did a good job did not necessarily want more bodies.
It said more than half of 21 organizations with high-quality volunteer programs that were surveyed in 2003 said they did not have the capacity to add more volunteers.
The respondents in another survey also cited challenges like finding volunteers who could work during business hours, and handling requests from schools and religious groups to do one-time group projects.
The report noted that some nonprofits limited the number of volunteers they took on because working with them was a significant commitment. For example, in fiscal year 2013, more than 350 people inquired about volunteering at the Boston rape center, but only 80 spots were available.
Situations like that leave a big gap between supply and demand, the report said. Some 11.6 million people visited VolunteerMatch in 2013, but they found fewer than 140,000 opportunities listed on the site over the year.
Foundations Could Help
The Chronicle reported that some volunteerism advocates were trying to persuade foundations to provide more money to help nonprofits manage volunteers, but with little effect.
"It's going to take energy and a lot of understanding to shift philanthropy in this direction," said Kaira Esgate, manager of Reimagining Service, a group that works to increase the impact of volunteers.
Still, some foundation efforts stand out, The Chronicle noted. The UPS Foundation in December awarded $2.4 million to nine nonprofits for volunteer efforts, with an emphasis on those responding to disasters.
In January, just as he was stepping down as New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg spun off one of his foundation's programs as a standalone nonprofit to help mayors put volunteers to work on specific challenges, such as fighting obesity or beautifying neighborhoods.
Budget Constraints
Washington's budget battles have taken their toll on the federal government's efforts to promote volunteerism, according to the report. The Corporation for National and Community Service has in recent years increasingly concentrated its resources on AmeriCorps, the national-service program that offers stipends for people who spend up to a year helping nonprofits tackle social problems. As part of its 2006–10 strategic plan, the agency set annual goals for increasing volunteers, but stopped doing it after failing to ever meet the goals. The 2009 Serve America Act created a program to help nonprofits train and manage volunteers, but Congress provided only $3.8 million for it in 2014.
Susan Ellis, president of Energize, a consulting company that helps nonprofits train volunteer managers, told The Chronicle that the U.S. should emulate other countries by creating a "national volunteer center" to stimulate research, collect information, hold conferences, represent the volunteer perspective in legislative debates, and strengthen local and state volunteering offices.
Really So Bad?
The Chronicle said some experts wondered whether federal statistics were as worrisome as they appeared. They pointed out that many people volunteer in new ways, especially online, that may not be reflected in the statistics.
Ellis said more research was needed to supplement the Bureau of Labor Statistics data, which are collected by the Census Bureau in its monthly surveys of 60,000 households.
She said the current survey questioned only individuals. It did not ask nonprofits how many volunteers they were using. Annual fluctuations in federal statistics should not cause alarm, she said.

No sips: Jazz? Funk-grass? Beats me
Peyton Tochterman
at the Shebeen
September 24
"This next one is a song I wrote in the shower about peanut butter and jelly," explains singer and guitarist Peyton Tochterman as a chuckle ripples across Friday's packed house at The Shebeen. I take a sip of my drink, not realizing that I will probably forget to swallow it for two or three minutes, instead focusing my attention on trying to decipher the display that's about to unfold on stage.
The band tenses slightly as it readies itself at the starting block, fingertips jumping to frets and keys. Then, all of a sudden, out comes...
...well, I don't exactly know. Peyton is sporting his twang with pride, but there's no country in sight here. At first I'm inclined to liken it to a funk repertoire from a bluegrass ensemble– perhaps because Andy Thacker has found the sweet spot on his mandolin's volume control, jumping out of the mix for leads and settling right back in for accompaniment.
Then they start trading solos like a jazz combo, and once again I find that I don't know what to make of this.
Ordinarily, bassist Pete Spaar and drummer James McLaughlin would make for a fairly traditional lineup. The moment you throw a trumpet into the equation, though, you're no longer formulaic. Thacker and John D'earth weave around one another in a careful balancing act that prevents either instrument from emerging as the primary melodic force.
Even Tochterman comes out to play every once in a while, occasionally trading in his vigorous strums for percussive single-note snaps– and, in the process, banishing polyphony from his band entirely. Somehow, the P.A. still seems to be packed to the brim, and I can't figure out how they're pulling it off.
Tochterman and D'earth are equally unconventional: They defy pigeonholing. The unexpectedly grating timbre of the trumpet stands out as glaringly as the often jagged vocals, which provide a curious aggression in contrast to the saccharine cooperation offered up by everyone else.
Occasionally, one of the two romps through a chorus with reckless abandon, and my skepticism about halfway through always seems to fade into appreciation by the end. Every third or fourth line or so is an argument between my expectations and the performance. I usually lose.
"You're sweet and tasty, and I'm nuttier'n hell, but we go together so right" sends another laugh through the crowd as Peyton makes good on his implicit promise of cultivated absurdity. For all I know, he could be talking to his band.
I still haven't swallowed.

Twitter sent its digital street cred tumbling on Thursday night when it announced that it would being selectively censoring content as a way to enter countries with "different ideas" about freedom of expression. Though Twitter has never made promises along the lines of Google's "Don't Be Evil," the move nevertheless comes as a surprise for a company that took pride in helping grease the wheels of last year's Arab Spring uprisings.
In China, where Twitter is blocked but still accessible to those with the technical know-how to skirt the country's Web filters, the revelation seems to have hit particularly hard.
Among the first to comment on the announcement was Wen Yunchao, one of many Chinese dissidents who've embraced Twitter as an uncensored alternative to China's own heavily managed microblogging services:
Oh no! @twitter says going to start censoring tweets in certain countries. Pls RT! act.demandprogress.org/act/
twitter_ce… 通过@demandprogress
It didn't take long for speculation to spread that Twitter had announced the change because it planned to make a play for the China market. A number of Chinese users promptly declared their intention boycott the service. Among those leveling the boycott threat was activist artist Ai Weiwei, who wrote in a characteristically pithy post, "If Twitter starts censoring, I'll stop tweeting":
推若审查,我即停推。 RT @wenyunchao: @aiww 商人在商言商,道这东东,能像谷歌那样最好,不能也不能强求。
But how likely is it that Twitter's proposed changes are aimed at earning access to the world's largest population of Internet users?
"Unlikely" says the answer from Beijing- based investor and Internet watcher Bill Bishop.
As Mr. Bishop notes, a large part of the speculation that Twitter might be getting ready to kow-tow to China's censors stems from Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's visit to Shanghai earlier this month, during which he complained about not being able to read his tweets. That trip came almost exactly a year after the founder of another social-media site banned in China, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, visited Beijing amid talk of trying to tap the Chinese market.
But for all the salivating over China's potential in board rooms across Silicon Valley, Mr. Bishop says Twitter would have to be "incredibly naive" to think they could wedge their way into the country.
"It would be stupidity," he says. "One, I don't think the government would go for it. And two, the market is already saturated."
Twitter did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The key issue, Mr. Bishop says, is whether or not the government would be able to trust Twitter. One sign that Twitter isn't likely to do what it takes to earn that trust is its plan to partner with Chilling Effects, an Internet freedom advocacy website, to publish government take-down notices — a problematic strategy in a country where banned keywords are treated like state secrets.
Even if Twitter were somehow able to get in Beijing's good graces, Mr. Bishop says, it would have almost no shot at competing with home-grown "weibo" microblogging products from Sina and Tencent that are already well-established and offer more features. "Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo are better products," he says. "Twitter's only competitive advantage here is freedom of speech. Once you start censoring, what do you have left to offer?"
Indeed, Mr. Dorsey himself quashed the idea of Twitter being able to break into China in an interview in Hong Kong in October in which he said his company "just can't compete" in China "and that's not up to us to change."
In developing the ability to censor tweets by region, Twitter more likely has different markets in mind. The only countries mentioned by name in the blog post announcing the new policy were France and Germany, both of which, the post notes, ban pro-Nazi content. How to handle that ban is a dilemma that Yahoo, Google and Facebook have all struggled with in Germany.
Mr. Dorsey visited Germany earlier this week to announce his desire to hire a team there.
Twitter's announcement also acknowledges there are some countries with severe restrictions on speech where the company simply cannot exist.
That's not to say Twitter's latest move won't have an impact on China. Implausible as it may be for the company to establish itself in the country, Mr. Bishop notes, its embrace of content filtering could aid Beijing in making the argument that the Internet is a space in need of censorship.

Two old ladies, Sunny and Tina, were outside their nursing home having a smoke, when it started to rain.
Tina pulled out a condom, cut off the end, put it over her cigarette, and continued smoking.
Sunny: "What's that?"
Tina: "A condom."
Sunny: "Where'd you get it?"
Tina: "You can get them at any chemist"
The next day, Sunny hobbled into the local chemist and announced to the pharmacist that she wanted to buy a pack of condoms.
The guy looked at her strangely (she was, after all, in her eighties), but politely asked what brand she preferred.
"Doesn't matter," she replied, "as long as it fits on a Camel."
The pharmacist fainted.

We had a totally different experience pitching Genesis. Gil joined in to a meeting with Eyal Kishon. He championed the due diligence in a professional manner and was enthusiastic about the company. During the DD he had put us in contact with potential customers and provided valuable information and shared his findings. Although Genesis investment did not materialized from other reasons, his involvement was positive, professional and respectful. I can not support those claims altogether, it sounds to me like a different person.PRIVATE: Members Only

In the meantime though, I have some questions!
First, do I have to use custom weapons in the Misc and Custom Fig catagory? It just said,"you may", so I'm guessing I don't have to! I just want to be sure though.
Second, is it possible to win at the Custom Fig category if I use NO custom parts? Sounds impossible, but I think I may do it just for fun!

Lifetime Television Outranks All Cable and Broadcast Networks as Top Women's Television Brand in Major National Survey
Leading Women's Destination Named 'Favorite' and 'Most Trusted' Channel Among Women for Ninth Consecutive Year; Lifetime Voted Most 'Empowering' Women's Network for Seventh Straight Year
LOS ANGELES, May 11 -- Lifetime Television, the highest-rated women's network, has once again ranked as the leading television brand in an annual national survey measuring women's perceptions of cable and broadcast networks. The Network beat all other networks in three key categories of the study, including "Favorite," "Most Trusted" and "Most Empowering" network for women. Lifetime also ranked number one in the survey's category assessing the three cable or broadcast networks women "most want to spend time with."
The study was conducted by leading market research firm International Communications Research (ICR). Among its key findings are the following:
Lifetime has maintained its leadership as the "favorite" women's network among W18-49 and W18+ for nine consecutive years. 33% of W18-49 polled ranked the Network as their favorite channel, more than three times greater than second place finishers CBS and TLC (both 9%), and five times the level of all women-targeted networks, including Oxygen (6%), Food Network (3%) and WE (3%). 26% of W18+ voted Lifetime as their "favorite television network for women," three times higher than CBS (8%), which ranked second in the category.
In networks "most trusted" by women, Lifetime remained well ahead of other channels for the ninth straight year in the two key demographics measured in the survey. 29% of W18-49 trusted Lifetime more than the second and third ranking networks, ABC (6%) and NBC (6%). In W18+, 19% of the respondents claimed to have more trust in Lifetime than any other network, including ABC (8%).
In naming their "top three networks that make them feel empowered as women when they watch them," participants cited Lifetime as the number one outlet for the seventh consecutive year. Among W18-49, 29% are most empowered by Lifetime, outranking ABC and Fox (both 20%), NBC (14%) and Oxygen (13%). Among W18+, 21% selected Lifetime as the most "empowering network," beating the four major broadcast networks: ABC (20%), Fox (17%), NBC (14%) and CBS (11%), as well as Oxygen (9%) and HGTV (4%).
The survey also asked women what three cable or broadcast networks they would "most want to spend time with" (assuming the networks were people). Lifetime claimed the top spot among W18-49 in the measurement with 22%, outranking ABC (16%), NBC (15%), CBS (14%), Fox (13%), Oxygen (11%), Discovery (8%) and Food Network (8%). Lifetime earned 17% among W18+, tied with ABC and Fox.
Information measured in the study was collected by ICR through a telephone survey from January 29 to February 2, 2009, and included a nationally representative sample of more than 500 women (at least 18 years of age) in the U.S.
The survey's findings reaffirm Lifetime's leading position in celebrating, entertaining and supporting women with content that spans its linear channels and digital platforms. In providing viewers with an engaging, entertaining escape, the Network was recently named the number one cable channel mentioned by women as a channel they "must keep" in a market study conducted by Solutions Research Group. Lifetime is the number one women's network on all of basic cable in both Total Day and Primetime among W18-49, W25-54 and W18+. Its sister network, Lifetime Movie Network, is the number two-rated female network in both Total Day and Primetime among Total Viewers, Households, W18-49 and W25-54.
Lifetime is the leader in women's television and one of the top-rated basic cable television networks. A diverse, multi-media company, Lifetime is committed to offering the highest quality entertainment and information programming, and advocating a wide range of issues affecting women and their families. Lifetime Television, Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime Real Women and Lifetime Digital (which includes myLifetime.com, Mothersclick.com, Lifetime Games, Roiworld.com and DressupChallenge.com) are part of Lifetime Entertainment Services, a 50/50 joint venture of Hearst Corporation and The Walt Disney Company.

MONTREAL - After three weeks of midwinter training indoors, coach Marco Schallibaum said the Montreal Impact are ready for Florida.
The Major League Soccer club leaves Thursday for Orlando for an 18-day stay that will include five pre-season matches.
"With the cold and snow, we're very happy to be here where we have good facilities," Schallibaum said Tuesday at the indoor field at Marie Victorin college. "Now, we'll be moving outdoors onto grass fields, and I saw today that it's 28 C (in Florida) and that's good because I haven't seen much sun in Montreal.
"We'll play some games, and we'll have lots of time together to discuss things and get to know each other even better."
It will also be where Schallibaum, who replaced Jesse Marsch after the Impact's inaugural MLS campaign, can implement his system of play and make decisions on who will be in the starting 11 when the regular season begins March 2 against the Sounders in Seattle.
The 50-year-old former Swiss international defender had previously coached two Impact players, midfielder Felipe Martins and defender Dennis Iapichino, in the Swiss league. The rest were new to him.
They will play four games at the Disney Classic pre-season tournament, beginning Saturday against Sporting Kansas City. They also face the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the NASL on Feb. 13, DC United on Feb. 16 and a fourth game that will be determined by how they finish in the tournament. There is also a non-tournament game Feb. 15 in Jacksonville, Fla., against the Philadelphia Union.
Already, the pace and intensity in training has picked up.
"Every day has been competitive," said Schallibaum. "There are positions to be had in the starting 11.
"It's physical. They're a little tired after three weeks here but I think they will be refreshed when we get to Orlando."
There may be hints to how he's leaning thus far from the scrimmages.
On Tuesday, he rested older veterans Alessandro Nesta, Marco Di Vaio and Patrice Bernier from a scrimmage but put most of last year's first 11 on one side against young players and reserves, except for midfielder Justin Mapp and defender Jeb Brovsky, who were starters last season.
Their usual spots were taken by Zarek Valentin and Iapichino, while Andrew Wenger, newcomer Andrea Pisanu and Sanna Nyassi filled in for the older players.
What the final first 11 looks like will be determined from pre-season matches.
"It's definitely the most important part for us because it's where we're going to get our games," said midfielder Davy Arnaud. "As the start of the season approaches we're going to see more of the tactical side of things and exactly the way we want to do things."
Felipe, who has been in his usual spot just behind the striker, said the team has also worked on boosting offence by playing Bernier farther up and using only one defensive midfielder, usually Collen Warner.
But it has not all been grunt work through the first three weeks. Schallibaum had them play basketball one day and team handball on another. On Saturday, he had them in snowshoes at a local park for what they called the Impact Amazing Race.
"When you go five days of hard work on the field, it's good to break it up a bit," Arnaud said. "You're getting a workout doing something different, but it's also good for the team morale you build.
"I always thought that's just as important. You need good players, but without chemistry and a good team spirit you're going to have a hard time."
It has helped that the team has 20 returning players and that some who joined in mid-season, like Nesta, Di Vaio, Iapichino and goalkeeper Troy Perkins, are together from the start of camp.
The Impact finished seventh in the Eastern Conference and out of the playoffs in 2012 and hope to be contenders this season.
There will likely be some players added before the season starts or in mid-season. Team president Joey Saputo has hinted at a South American player joining the squad, without giving details.
Only two of the 29 players in camp will not go to Orlando, goalie Maxime Crepeau and midfielder Zakaria Messoudi, but only because they were called away to the Canadian under-20 team camp Feb. 11-16 in Mexico. Both are part of the Impact academy.
Three other academy players, defender Maxim Tissot, midfielder Wandrille Lefebvre and forward Mircea Ilcu, will be in Florida.

Domestic Violence is the result of one person using violence or the threat of violence to get control and keep control over another person. Battering occurs in marriages, dating relationships and between couples living together. Just as there are not typical battered women, there is no typical batterer. Batterers come in every race, sex, religion, age, profession and social and economic class.
80% of Young men between the ages of 11-20 who are doing time for homicide- Killed their Mother's batterers.
While there is no definitive way to identify a potential batterer, there are some signs to watch for:
Once a pattern of abuse has been established, the assaults often become more frequent and more violent over time. Domestic Violence can be an overwhelming experience for everyone in the household. Concerned people are available to help. The first step means having the courage to reach out for help.
You are not alone!!

"Details of investigation being done by the Income Tax department cannot be divulged as this would hamper the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders," it said in reply to an RTI query seeking details of probe against the bourse.
Replying to the RTI application, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) said the complaints related to alleged financial irregularities, as and when received, are forwarded to Forward Markets Commission (FMC).
The DEA also said that no investigation is being made by it against the NSEL, its supported or associated companies, their promoters and government officials for their alleged involvement in payment default case in the exchange.
"Complaints related to alleged financial irregularities, as and when received against the NSEL and its promoters, are forwarded to the FMC, Mumbai for action as appropriate," it said adding that the application was being forwarded to the commission for giving further information.
The FMC, in its reply to the application, said the information sought against NSEL "is not specified and is likely to pertain to third parties also".
"In case copy of any specific complaint is to be sought by the applicant then the same may be communicated to the Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) in the form of fresh RTI query on the same which can then be considered. The reference to financial irregularities "is not specific/clear", the FMC said in its reply.
Commodity exchange NSEL, promoted by Jignesh Shah-led Financial Technologies, is facing multi-agency probe for the payment crisis. Commodity trade in NSEL has been suspended following the issue.
The NSEL has been actively pursuing recovery of outstanding dues from the 24 members with a total pay-in obligation of around Rs 5,600 crore, as per the information put on its website.
"While 3 members, with total liability of Rs 254.6 crore have reached a settlement with the Exchange and cleared are clearing their outstanding dues, NSEL has declared 21 members as 'Defaulter' as per the Rule 41 of the Exchange Bye laws on 22 August, 2013, 28 August, 2013 and 22 October, 2013.
"The total outstanding from these defaulting members on July 31, 2013 stood at Rs 5435.35 crore," its website reads. So far, properties worth Rs 3,790.03 crore have been attached of the defaulters and the three former employees of NSEL, who have been named as "main accused" by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police in its charge-sheet on January 6, 2014, according to information put on NSEL's site.

| 7.9°C Belfast
Former X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has been found guilty of assaulting a celebrity blogger at a music festival.
The 26-year-old singer was convicted of hitting Savvas Morgan during an altercation at V-Festival in Chelmsford.
The ruling was made by a judge at Stratford Magistrates' Court in east London today.
Earlier this week, a separate drugs trial against Contostavlos collapsed after the judge said there were "strong grounds" to believe that undercover reporter Mazher Mahmood - known as the Fake Sheikh - had lied in the witness box.
Contostavlos, who wore a blue suit, white shirt and nude stilettos, shook her head and smiled in disbelief as today's guilty verdict for assault was read out.
Standing on the steps of the court building, she d eclared that she was "outraged" at the conviction and vowed to clear her name in an appeal.
Mr Morgan, who suffered swelling to his eye, said in a statement that he felt "vindicated" by the verdict.
Contostavlos was ordered by the court to pay a total of £3,020. This consisted of a £2,700 contribution towards the cost of the prosecution, a £200 fine, £100 compensation to Mr Morgan and a £20 victim surcharge.
Her assistant, Gareth Varey, 28, was cleared of using threatening behaviour during the incident, which occurred at the V Festival in Chelmsford in the early hours of August 18 last year.
Contostavlos, of Royal Drive, Friern Barnet, north London, claimed during the trial that Mr Morgan had a ''strange obsession'' with her.
She told the court that he had conducted a ''vendetta'' against her since an incident in which she asked security to remove him from a VIP area at the Whisky Mist nightclub in London's Mayfair.
The former N-Dubz singer also outlined her suspicions that he was involved in the release of a sex tape of her online.
The prosecution case was that, when Mr Morgan was leaving the festival site, he found himself to be following Contostavlos and her friends, including Mr Varey.
It was suggested that former Sugababes star Mutya Buena was with the group and called back to Mr Morgan to ask him to join them.
But Contostavlos angrily told him to stop following her. She then raised her fists in the air and hit him in the face.
District Judge Angus Hamilton said: ''I am quite sure to the requisite standard of proof, based on my analysis of the evidence that I have heard, that Ms Contostavlos did strike Mr Morgan in the face during an argument and that that blow caused minor bruising and swelling.''
The trial, which previously took place at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court, heard that Buena, rapper Misha B, singer Alexandra Burke and rapper Wretch 32, all witnessed the incident but have not given evidence.
In a defiant statement after today's guilty verdict, Contostavlos said: "This has been a rollercoaster week for me. I never wanted any of this.
"I did not assault Vas J Morgan and I am outraged at this decision. I will be appealing it.
"There are a number of high-profile witnesses who were there and know what happened. I urge them to come forward and tell the truth at the appeal.
"I am determined to clear my name as I have already done once this week.
"I repeat - I did not assault Vas J Morgan. I am innocent."
Mr Morgan - who has joined the cast of ITV2 series The Only Way Is Essex - said after the conclusion of the case: "I'm pleased we can finally put an end to this and move on.
"It's been a difficult time for everyone involved and I'd just like to put it behind me. I've had my character questioned and now feel vindicated by the verdict."
Jeremy Dein QC, barrister for Contostavlos, said in mitigation that his client was provoked by the actions of her victim in relation to the sex tape.
He told the court: ''Mr Morgan played a significant part in humiliating and debasing M s Contostavlos's reputation, clearly for financial gain.''
Sarah Asbrey, senior district crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in the East of England, said after the hearing: ''It was clear from the evidence that Ms Contostavlos held a grudge against Mr Morgan for previous comments he had made about her on his blog including a link to her sex tape.
''When she saw him at the festival there was an argument between them, which resulted in her assaulting Mr Morgan.
''The outcome of this case shows that no-one is above the law and each case will be dealt with on its own merits.''
On Monday Contostavlos's trial over drugs allegations collapsed at Southwark Crown Court.
The singer was accused of boasting that she could ''sort out'' cocaine for Mr Mahmood and put him in touch with her rapper friend Mike GLC, who supplied the Class A drug.
She vehemently denied brokering the deal, which was exposed in the Sun on Sunday newspaper last June.
Mahmood was suspended by the paper after the trial was halted because of his evidence.
