Oneida County had been the birthplace or residence of a number of judges in the early years of the Court of Appeals, including Greene C. Bronson who served from 1847 to 1851, Alexander S. Johnson (1852-1859), Hiram Denio (1853-1865), George F. Comstock (1856-1861), Ward Hunt (1866-1868), and William C. Ruger (1882-1892).1 Indeed, from 1856 to 1859, three of the four regular Court of Appeals judges were born or had lived in Oneida County.
Although George Mason lived most of his life in Madison County, Oneida lays fair claim to him in that he spent the last 10 years of his life there "and perhaps no one who ever commenced practice in Utica in so short a time gained so prominent a position at our bar as he. His advice was highly valued among laymen, and also by the profession; and, as referee, in which position he frequently served, he was almost ideal."2
Charles Mason was born on July 18, 1810 in Plattsburgh, New York and in 1828 began reading law there. In about 1831, he moved to Watertown, Jefferson County, completing his law studies in the office of William Ruger.3 Mason was admitted to the bar in 1832 and five years later married Ann Cady of Hamilton (Madison County), New York.
In 1838, when Philo Gridley became a State Circuit Judge, Mason moved to Hamilton where he took over Gridley's practice and would spend most of his life. In 1841, Mason's wife died; their daughter died in infancy.
On May 13, 1842, the 32-year-old widowed George Mason married the 28-year-old Sophia Helen Osgood (1818-1896), with whom he would have two daughters and share the rest of his life. She was the daughter of Samuel Osgood, one of the 13 men who in 1817 founded the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York, from which Madison University (later renamed Colgate University) developed.
In 1845, Mason was appointed District Attorney of Madison County. The population of the County was about 40,000, and the appointment started him on his career as a public servant. As a Democrat, he was elected to the Supreme Court, Sixth Judicial District, in 1847 for a six-year term, and again in 1853 for an eight-year term.
By this time he had become active in the affairs of Madison University. In 1852 the University awarded him an LLD and from 1855 to 1879 he served on its Board of Trustees. The honorary degree may well have been awarded him in any event, but it seems likely to have been connected with Judge Mason's role in keeping Madison (Colgate) University in Hamilton, New York. In the late 1840's there was a movement to relocate the University to Rochester, believing that the University would do better in a large center than in the remote and less accessible town of Hamilton.4 The proposal touched off a heated controversy between the "Removalists" and the "Hamiltonians" who, stunned by the prospect, argued for the benefits of a quiet, rural, educational setting, reminding Removalists of the advantages of rural colleges like Williams and Dartmouth.
As the battle raged and the Hamiltonians were set back by a Trustees' resolution to relocate, they turned for help to Judge Mason and James W. Nye, a County Surrogate and Judge. Nye brought a proceeding in Supreme Court, where Judge Philo Gridley, in January 1849, granted Nye's application for a temporary injunction. The opposition was led by Ira Harris, and the injunction vacated by Judge William F. Allen, but on April 23, 1850 Judge Gridley granted a permanent injunction decreeing that Madison University should remain in Hamilton.5 Madison changed its name to Colgate in 1890. Interestingly, Mason, Gridley, Harris, and Allen served on the Court of Appeals at one time or another.6
In 1867 Judge Mason ran as the Republican candidate for the Court of Appeals but was defeated. Governor Reuben E. Fenton appointed him on January 20, 1868, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Chief Judge William B. Wright (1806-1868), as Ward Hunt (1810-1886) became Chief Judge. Judge Mason served for almost two years, until his term expired on December 31, 1869.
In the 1860s, as today, the Court enjoyed a diverse docket, and this is reflected in Judge Mason's 79 majority opinions. His writings covered a range of topics, from the lofty realm of constitutional law to the workaday concerns of tort. Thus, in Bird v. S.B. Josephine (39 NY 19 [1868]), Mason, writing for the Court, held that an in rem suit brought under an 1862 New York statute dealing with the collection of demands against ships and vessels for supplies provided could not be sustained because the State statute was preempted, and therefore unconstitutional. Mason reasoned that Article III, ' 2 of the United States Constitution states that the judicial power of the United States extends to all cases in admiralty and maritime jurisdiction. He also observed that the Judiciary Act of 1789 grants federal district courts "exclusive original cognizance of all civil causes of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, saving to suitors, in all cases, the right of a common law remedy where the common law is competent to give it" (id. at 21 22). The New York statute, the Court determined, impermissibly trenched on federal admiralty powers.
In Buffalo and New York City Railroad Co. v. Brainard, et al. (9 NY 100 [1853]), the Court upheld a legislative enactment authorizing private railroads to seize land through eminent domain for the construction of rail lines. Writing for the Court, Mason first noted that the Legislature may confer its eminent domain power "upon different officers, confining its exercise however to the appropriation of property required for public use." (id. at 109). He then rejected the claim that the railroad's use of eminent domain was not for a "public" use. The act in question, Mason noted, expressly declared the "public necessity and utility of the roads" (id. at 110).
Mason also authored two decisions in tort that, no doubt, promoted the safety of transportation. In Wolfkiel v. Sixth Avenue Railroad Co. (38 NY 49 [1868]), the Court held that a driver of a one horse coach was negligent when he failed to check whether a passenger had gotten into the vehicle before starting it, thereby injuring the passenger's foot. In Hutston v. Mayor, et al. (9 NY 163 [1853]), the plaintiff was injured when, as a result of the poor repair of a city street, her carriage plummeted into a 35-foot deep chasm left by a railroad company excavation. Judge Mason wrote that the City of New York could be held liable for her injuries because it had a duty "to see that the public streets of this densely crowded city are kept in repair; for where a public body is clothed by statute with power to do an act which concerns the public interests, the execution of the power may be insisted on as a duty, though the statute conferring it be only permissive in terms" (id. at 168).
In 1870, under the amended judiciary article, Judge Mason was defeated as one of the Republican candidates for Judge of the Court of Appeals. Later that year he was named Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals and moved to Utica to take up the duties of that office. There, he lived out the last decade of his life, passing away on May 31, 1879, at the residence of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Thorn, 119 State Street, in Utica. His remains were taken on a special train to Hamilton, New York, for burial.
In his obituary, the Hamilton Democratic-Republican7 called Judge Mason a man of sterling excellence, rich in saving common sense, modest in his estimate of himself, not demonstrative in any sphere, but fulfilling his obligations in every relation manfully, cheerfully, and with exemplary fidelity.
Judge Mason was twice married. His first wife was Ann Cady of Hamilton, New York, who died in 1841. Their daughter died in infancy. In 1842 he married Sophia H. Osgood (1818-1896), who survived him. Sophia Osgood Mason died in Utica and is buried in the family plot in the Madison Street Cemetery in Hamilton, New York. They had two daughters, Mrs. Charles H. Thorn of Utica and Mrs. Ira E. Chapin of Oneida. Judge Mason was also survived by three sisters and three brothers, one of whom, Joseph Mason, served as a Madison County Judge and as representative in Congress from the Madison and Oswego Districts.

BY: BEL DENG, South Sudan, DEC/29/2014, SSN;
As long as the current leadership in Juba exists, with foreign backing intact, the citizenry (NUER) need to know that enduring more devastation in the next coming few months is imminent. The politicians and generals in Juba see that there is a window of opportunity to crash the Nuer rebels by military means and compel them to submission.
The rebels though having a weak leadership and disorganized military operations against the Juba regime won't yield to Juba regime and hence continuation of war without clear attainable cause.
Nuer as community will continue to carry a load heavier than its weight. Nuer cannot sacrifice heavily as such in the name of change triggered by revenge ambition meanwhile others are watching at the sideline. The Nuer cannot face the rest of tribes in South Sudan with foreign mercenaries backing in the name of democratic change.
This community is not a sacrificial lamb. It must fight for a better cause. Nuer should only focus on how its members must survive among the predators in the region by demanding the self-rule for Nuer-land.
The following points are reasons why Nuer should demand self-determination as the objective for the war:
– foreign interference in the conflict,
– the desire by the Juba group to subdue the rebels,
– acquisition of advance weaponry by Juba group,
– symptoms of weaknesses in the rebels camp,
– the power of money and other myths.
Foreign intervention particularly Uganda has significantly transformed the conflict and increased the duration of fighting for the unforeseeable future. This war would have been short and decisive if it was left in the hands of the two warring parties. The fact that Ugandan Peoples Defence Force (UPDF) threw their weight on Kiir's side remains an igniting factor among many in the rebels camp.
The use of cluster bombs by these foreign troops against the citizenry by the order of someone once they called their leader will always have a lasting effect among rebels and the Nuer community in particular. This in addition to door to door killing of unarmed Nuer women, children, pastors, elderly and unarmed men which became the cause of eternal distrust between the Nuer and Dinka communities.
Many in Nuer community have no other option but to choose death over humiliation. And the insistence of Juba group to keep foreign troops in the fighting is a slap in the face.
To avoid the cycle of violence between the Nuer and Dinka, separation between the two communities should be the objective. Better be good neighbours than hateful citizens of the same country.
Among the politicians in Kiir regime and generals in the South Sudan Army, there is a strong desire for military solution to this conflict. They are determined to subdue the rebels as well as the Nuer civilians in their villages.
Today, as we speak South Sudan Army is on the move. They are preparing to launch the mother of all battles yet in this civil war against Greater Lou counties of Akobo, Nyirol and Uror. They are assembling in Gadiang, Twi East, Duk and possibly through Pibor and Pochala corridors.
The battle for control over Greater Akobo counties will definitely occur between January and April 2015 depending on dryness of the area that may allow the passage of tanks, personnel carriers and vehicles mounted with artilleries, rocket launchers and logistics supplies.
Imagine a Dinka leadership inserting its control over Nuer people with a long history of harsh rivalry and hatred, what would be the consequences?
Nuer should only give lives in that battle in the name of Nuer-land self-rule from the rest of South Sudan otherwise it would be a waste of precious lives without a cause. Riek Machar and his group should not continue to fight for meaningless reasons such as revenging the massacre of Juba 2013 and democratic change within the same country.
Many South Sudanese have hidden their tails between their legs, while others suffering under the same regime are singing side by side with the evils in killing the Nuer. Nuer cannot afford to carry this huge load.
There is going to be no peace so long as Juba regime has acquired the newest advanced technology of weaponry; it's hope is to use them fully to subdue the rebels to submission. Today, they have amphibian tanks which they have used against the rebels in Fangak, they have several BM/system rocket launchers, ZUK (6 barrels) and many others.
However, the regime and their allies need to be reminded that war is not won by technology but the will of those using the technology. The willingness to die for what a person believes in delivering South Sudan out from the bondage of Khartoum.
Based on what I know, willingness to stand up against the odds determines the end point as young Nuer are currently showing, but the community needs to have a political and survivability strategies otherwise Nuer will be wiped out on the face of the earth.
Nuer must lobby for either joining Khartoum or Addis Ababa so that we have a full backing of anyone of the two countries we may think would offer us better protection. I believe survivability of Nuer as a community is in question.
Nuer is no longer facing only Dinka and her South Sudanese allies but East African troops and Sudanese rebels. This is a big load for Nuer to withstand without political strategy. Political partnership with a foreign country would safeguard the survival of the remaining Nuer instead of relying only on Nuer power as the solution.
Nuer can live without Dinka or Shilluk, so there is no reason to stick on maintaining South Sudan as one country. Split it up into tribal kingdoms so that this cycle of violence is curbed.
Also, Juba leadership is successfully employing its economic power in subduing it enemies to submission. People who once rebelled against the regime are now returning to Juba because of money.
In addition, the regime has a comfortable diplomatic superiority over the rebels in East Africa and around the world whilst there is a weak leadership displayed by rebels. Riek Machar leadership style remains the biggest issue that will cause the extinction of Nuer.
He has a huge ambition for leadership but he does not know how he can achieve it. I advise Riek to rectify his political objective for Nuer-land and lobby either Khartoum or Addis Ababa for political and military protection for the Nuer-land and its people.
Failure for Riek and his group to commit to this cause will mean the doomsday for Nuer people will be unavoidable. Nuer must not be misled by voices that do not have soldiers on the ground. Lip service is not worth it.
Meanwhile, militarily, the regime is continuously gaining ground from the rebels. The capture of Phom, Ayod, Nasir and Mathiang by Dinka regime demonstrates the weaknesses of Riek Machar's fighting strategy. As a resistance movement the first that should have been in place was the military command for the direction of military operations across the country.
Riek is also failing to transport the war to Bharel Ghazal and Equatoria regions. Concentrating the war in Nuer-land is stupidity and lack of knowledge about war strategies.
Riek and his team are demanding blindly when they have no military achievements to back them up. Kiir and his co. will not give a damn about powerless demands. Failure by Riek and his co. to poise a formidable threat encourages the regime in Juba to pursue military solutions to the conflict..
The economic power, military, and diplomatic success for the regime means peace won't come to South Sudan unless rebels do something extraordinary or else surrender. Nuer should know that surrendering to Dinka leadership in Juba would mean total destruction of Nuer people once and for all.
Separation tendency where Nuer should opt for outside powers for political and military sanctuary would be better choice rather than accept the Dinka hegemony with devastating consequences.
The surrendering of some Nuer to Juba regime is a lack of far-sightedness among those elements and would surely enforce the myth in Dinka community that Nuer are food lovers and that they do not resist tough situations. This is painful smear for those of us that have endured suffering as children at the age of 12-13 years in the Sudan People Liberation Army (SPLA) in 1980s.
My fellow Nuer, this war is not about individuals such as Riek Machar but the whole Nuer society is in trouble. Personally, I would have lived and continue working in Juba/Bhar el Ghazale then but the situation was not conducive for me just because of my being who I am.
I wonder how some Nuer who support the regime handle this! I have witnessed how hard it was in early days of the conflict in 2013-2014 and in 1991 where I remained a dedicated member of SPLM/SPLA mainstream but nearly faced death for being a Nuer.
Finally, I believe true reconciliation and forgiveness between the Nuer and South Sudanese communities particularly Dinka and to some extent Shilluk and Maban will only prevail when Nuer-land goes its way from South Sudan.
I do not see a fruitful future for Nuer so long as Dinka with foreign backing and remaining dominant in South Sudan's affairs.
Demand for self-determination for Nuer-land with serious lobbying for political and military protection from either Khartoum or Addis Ababa would ensure the survivability of Nuer in the midst of predators.

Here's your first look at Nintendo's eShop. Or at least, the Japanese version.
You might think it looks a little bulky, but remember, this console has a touch-screen controller, meaning the whole thing is going to be about a million times faster to get around than Microsoft or Sony's offerings.

New London entrepreneurs focus on websites for mobile phones
New London - For Michael Fagan, it all started with the frustration of trying to order a pizza using his cell phone.
The Niantic pizza place's website was not optimized for mobile devices, and Fagan quickly gave up finding a menu.
"The website didn't work on my phone," Fagan said. "So I built one for me."
The process of building a website for his mobile phone got Fagan thinking about how many people must be having similar difficulties with sites intended for personal-computer users in an era where smaller mobile devices are quickly taking the spotlight.
So he drove out to the pizza restaurant, showed the owner the benefits of building a website for mobile devices, and quickly had his first sale. Within a month, he had sold a handful of other businesses on the same idea.
"It's silly how easy it is to sell this," Fagan said. "There was a need for it, and not a lot of people doing it."
Fagan, 27, celebrated the one-year anniversary of his SeaSites website-design and video-production business in April, and has recently settled into new headquarters at 300 State St. with his partners, brother Brian Fagan and John Spinnato of Waterford.
It was the third move in the past year for the company, reflecting the growth in business it has seen, especially since January.
The new office, with a 54-inch computer screen in one room, is the former space of Killer Minnow Studios, a well-known game design and animation business that moved upstairs in the same building.
"There's a lot of good energy here," Spinnato said.
The trio, all in their 20s and each an Eastern Connecticut State University graduate, said SeaSite's strategy is to get its foot in the door by proposing to design reasonably priced mobile sites for small- to medium-sized local businesses.
"Everything we've done came out of mobile," Michael Fagan said.
Fagan said doing a mobile website for last year's Sailfest celebration got the company a good deal of notice, as did a similar job at Norwich Inn & Spa. But much of the buzz about SeaSites has been "old-school referrals," he said, through the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut and Business Network International, among other organizations.
Brian Fagan and Spinnato, who both serve on the sales side of SeaSites, said the company can show customers almost instant results using Google analytics and other means demonstrating positive trends for businesses that invest in their mobile sites. The best thing about mobile sites, they said, is the ability to connect quickly with customers, whether through Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram or directly through the website.
"If a customer can't call you within five seconds, it's not working the way it should," Michael Fagan said.
But the company has begun to develop other niches as well, especially in the production of videos for local companies ranging from the city's Suisman Shapiro law firm to Essence hair salon in Old Saybrook to the Fields of Fire paintball park in Mystic.
The company is reinvesting a lot of its earnings into new technology, including a jib that gives videos a cinematic feel. And it is looking at buying a "drone" camera that can perch high up in the air for special effects.
The idea is to add a new dimension to locally produced videos, the partners said.
"You never look at a local commercial and say, 'That's really good,'" Brian Fagan said.
"We've been able to make something look really cool and professional and not be at such a high price," Michael Fagan said.
The next step, he added, is to develop a niche in making sure those videos are seen as well as in identifying demographic information about those who are interacting with the content provided. This way, he said, clients can quantify how much they are spending on marketing on a cost-per-view basis.
"Nobody is going out and doing this out there locally," he said.
Fagan, who previously worked as an interactive account executive for The Day, said branding and testimonial videos are two key niches for his business. The company is finding videos to be so powerful - aiding, for instance, in search-engine optimization that places certain sites at the top of Google searches - that it is setting up websites so videos are the first thing people see.
"We really try to base the video around the website," Spinnato said.
Michael Fagan, who worked for several months with a recording company in New York City before a random encounter with a line from a Billy Joel song that went "Man, what are you doing here?" prompted him to relocate back to southeastern Connecticut, said he is happy to help old-school business people connect with the new-media world of today.
"That's where everyone is," he said. "As a business, you want to be where people are."

milford — Parkland won the District 2-4-11 Class AAAA sub-regional football title with a 49-41 victory over Delaware Valley on Saturday.
milford — Parkland won the District 2-4-11 Class AAAA sub-regional football title with a 49-41 victory over Delaware Valley on Saturday.
It was a game of constant big plays with the feeling that almost every play had game-changing implications.
Though Parkland came away with the victory, the Warriors put up an incredible fight that almost sent the game into overtime.
The Trojans, who lost their season opener to Del Val, began the game pretty poorly.
Less than two minutes into the game, Parkland quarterback Tim Baranek threw an interception to Warrior defender Cory Savarese, who returned it 88 yards for the touchdown.
On Del Val's first offensive possession the Warriors were set to punt from their own 48-yard line, but an offsides penalty on Parkland, gave Delaware Valley the first down and led to a score.
Parkland didn't let the game get away, though.
The Trojans started the second quarter by marching down the field on a 60-yard drive capped by a 5-yard TD run from senior running back Jarel Elder. On the next drive, Eli Redmond scored from 7 yards out.
With just over three minutes remaining in the half, Warrior quarterback Bryan Schor connected with senior wide-receiver Lucas Markowitz for a 53-yard touchdown pass.
Less than a minute later, Parkland answered right back as Elder ran for another 39 yards en route to a game-tying touchdown to knot the score at 21-21.
The Warriors got the ball first in the second half and scored just two minutes in, but a missed extra point set up what was a dismal third quarter for Delaware Valley.
On the ensuing kickoff, Matt Costello picked up the ball at his own 35-yard line and broke through the first wave of blockersen route to a 65-yard kickoff return. After the extra point, Parkland took a 28-27 lead and never gave it back.
Including that touchdown, the Trojans went on a 28-0 run in the third quarter, highlighted by a 17-yard keep by Baranek, a 38-yard interception TD return by Redmond, and a 91-yard rush by Elder at the end of the quarter.
The 49-27 lead Parkland had would put most Trojan supporters at ease, but against the Warriors, nobody from Parkland was at ease.
On a fourth-and-2 from Parkland's 33, Schor connected with Markowitz once again for a 33 yard touchdown reception to start the fourth.
Following a successful onside kick, Schor connected with tight end Connor Decker for an 8-yard reception, bringing Del Val within one possession of tying the game.
As time expired, Bryan Schor launched a Hail Mary to the left corner of the end zone toward junior Nick McIntyre, but the ball grazed off the fingertips of the wide receiver.
Parkland moves on to meet La Salle in the opening round of the PIAA playoffs at 1 p.m. at Northeast High School in Philadelphia next Saturday.

A E Mark, Inc needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 35 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
"Poor man's food with a taste of upper crust" is the theme of this interactive website. I'm looking for a simple logo that will create an immediate impression of that.
I'm in the process of setting up a recipe website. The idea is to feature down-home, inexpensive fare that has just a touch of something gourmet, hence the name, "Truck Stop Gourmet". Site users will be able to add their own recipes as well as rate and review others. I'm open to just about anything that tells the tale, though emphasis should be on food rather than truck stops.
- Clean look that includes the name - Truck Stop Gourmet - and an image that captures the essence of the site. (I like the little guy on corkd.com, if that helps)
- Incorporate the colors #FF6600 and #FFCC00
- Something that can also be used in print
- Nothing fussy or esoteric but it can certainly be fun or goofy

The Louisiana Division's photograph collections include one large group of photographs called the General Interest Collection. This artifical grouping contains photographs that have made their way into the collection over the years from disparate sources. Many of the photographs have lost their "provenance," the original source of the donation or deposit, and many of them are unidentified. Since precise information about how the photographs first came into the collection is unusally unclear, these photographs were simply arranged into general subject headings and categorized as "General Interest."

The Higher Educational Aids Board (HEAB) finds that an emergency exists and that the attached rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety or welfare. A statement of the facts constituting the emergency is:
The 1989 Wisconsin Act 31 created s. 39.40, Stats., which provides for loans to minority students enrolled in programs of study leading to licensure as a teacher. The Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board (HEAB) administers this loan program under s. 39.40 and under ch. HEA 11. Current rules require that a student be enrolled full time and show financial need to be considered for participation in the Minority Teacher Loan Program. Students who did not enroll full time and did not show financial need were allowed to participate in the program in the past when part of the program was administered by another administrative body. These students are enrolled in teacher education programs that train teachers specifically for the school districts named in the statutes that outline the intent of the Minority Teacher Loan Program. Unless the Board changes its rules, many participating students will lose their eligibility in the program. This will cause a hardship to those students who relied on the interpretation of the prior system administration. Revising the rules would allow students who participated in the program in the past to continue to participate. The proposed revision will not affect expenditures of State funds for the Minority Teacher Loan Program.
When the Minority Teacher Loan Program was first established in 1989 HEAB administered the program for students who enrolled at private Wisconsin colleges and universities in programs of study leading to licensure as a teacher. The University of Wisconsin System Administration administered the program for students who attended schools within the University of Wisconsin System. In 1996 the University of Wisconsin program was merged with HEAB's and from that point on HEAB administered the combined program for students attending either private Wisconsin colleges and universities or University of Wisconsin schools.
Prior to the merging of the two programs HEAB developed administrative rules which incorporated requirements that the student must be enrolled full-time and that the student must show financial need. During the time the University of Wisconsin System Administration administered their portion of the program, rules further defining the program were not developed by System Administration.
During the 1998-99 academic year it came to HEAB's attention that one of the University of Wisconsin schools that participates in the program, was not under the understanding that HEAB's administrative rules applied to their program participants. Specifically, there are two education programs at this university in which students either do not enroll full-time or they do not necessarily show financial need who are not currently eligible for program participation per administrative rules. This university thought that these students were eligible. These same students would have been eligible prior to the 1996 merging when the University of Wisconsin System Administration administered the program for University of Wisconsin schools. This, again, is due to the fact that System Administration had not yet developed administrative rules to further define the program where HEAB had.
Unless the Board changes its rules, many participating students will lose their eligibility in the program. This will cause a hardship to those students who relied on the interpretation of the prior system administration.
The statute indicates that the loan is to be awarded to students who agree to teach in school districts like the one these two education programs serve. The primary focus of the two education programs offered by this university is to provide qualified teachers specifically for one of the school districts identified in the statute, which outlines the Minority Teacher Loan Program. The recently established Teacher Education Loan Program, which HEAB also administers, does not require full time status or that the student show financial need. The Teacher Education Loan is very similar to the Minority Teacher Loan in that its primary focus is to provide qualified teachers for a similar school district.
Statutory Authority: Section 39.28 (1), Stat., as created by 1971 c. 125, and section 227.11 (2), Stats.
Section HEA 11.03 is amended to read:
Section 1. Section HEA 11.03 (3) is amended to read:
(3) The borrower shall be enrolled
full time at least half time in an
eligible institution in the junior or senior year of a bachelor degree program majoring in
Section 2. Section HEA 11.03 (5) is created to read:
(5) The borrower shall not be required to show financial need.
Effective Date: These rules shall take effect upon publication as provided in s. 227.24 (d) Stats.

Head in the Clouds needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 93 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
My business is ungoing an overhaul ... from cutzie children's photography, to sassy and classy boutiuque maternity, newborn, baby, families and, eventually, wedding photography.
I need to keep the name 'head in the clouds photography', but want EVERYTHING else to change, and it will be hinged on a great unique and classy logo.
**** EDITED TO ADD: I've worked out the name of the 'patterny' think that I like "baroque" inspired patterns, so that I can follow the design through to packaging ... simular to the bag here: http://prolenswear.com/ and the wonderful stark black and white that you see here http://www.scrapbookersclubhouse.co…leaves.jpg ... kind of artneuvoe and being able to drag the design through to packing my images simular to this type of thing ... http://images.google.com.au/imgres?…n%26sa%3DN ... *****
edited again to add: here is the link to the blog and I want something to match the damask pattern ... thanks. http://www.headinthecloudsphotograp…m.au/blog/
Head in the Clouds Photography
I would like a logo to compliement a new era for my photography business.
I am going from cutzie family portraiture to more upmarket boutique style photographic portraiture.
- I want it to be fairly simple.
- I would like it to include a 'symbol' or something that can be used alone without the writing
- I want to stick with black and white and greys, but it could have an accent colour if it is appropriate (something in the skungy greens or autumn colours)
- I like swirls, spots, stripes and funky patterns
- I would like something to tie into 'head in the clouds' but don't want anything cutzie like a smiling cloud or anything a bit cheezy ..
- it could include things like a bird, star, cloud, sun, butterfly ... as long as they are stylish ...
- I will need it in a layered Photoshop format.
cheezy, sickly cutzie ... just stylish and simple ...

Hernandez has pled not guilty to the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd.
If convicted ... Hernandez faces life in prison. When asked if he understood the gravity of the situation, Hernandez told the judge he got it.

Barbie has a lot of competition these days, but perhaps none more than that from her much younger sister: Monster High.
Barbie's parent company Mattel Inc. /quotes/zigman/75129 /quotes/nls/mat MAT slumped 6.6% to $43.24 a share Wednesday, making it the biggest decliner on the S&P 500, after reporting its second-quarter profit fell 24%. The results were 11 cents a share short of Wall Street expectations.
Increased expenses and charges hurt results, as did the declines in demand for Fisher-Price toys and Hot Wheels. But the drop in Barbie sales, Mattel's biggest brand, is perhaps the biggest shocker.
Worldwide Barbie sales fell 12%, leading to a decline so far this year after a drop last year. In comparison, Barbie's 3-year-old sister Monster High, a line of dolls which Mattel created in 2010, led a 23% sales growth in the company's other girls brands segment.
Barbie's share of the $9.6 billion global doll and accessories market fell to 22.8% from 23.6% in 2010, data compiled by Euromonitor for MarketWatch showed. In contrast, Monster High's share of the market jumped to 5.2% from 1.5% in 2010, making it the second largest doll line, above other popular doll lines including Bratz, Disney Princess and American Girl, the latter two Mattel also makes, Euromonitor data showed.
While Barbie sales were hurt partly by the company's decision to shift some of its promotional programs that were traditionally slated in the first half of the year to the second half, Mattel also blamed "increased competition" from its "own growing portfolio" as the other big culprit.
"It's highly likely that (brand cannibalization) is going on," said Chief Executive Bryan Stockton. He added, however, that the company is "not troubled" by the impact, and noted Barbie sales are still higher than 2010 at the introduction of Monster High.
Monster High, with characters based on monster movies and sci-fi horror shows, has now grown to a portfolio of 40 characters exceeding over $1 billion in retail sales, the company said.
Mattel is also introducing another doll line called Ever After High targeting older girls, and said these new brands only cost as much as $20 million to unveil.
"The payback has been extraordinary," said Chief Financial Officer Kevin Farr.

NEW YORK — Tom Watson, one of America's greatest performers and the winner of eight major championships, has been selected by The Professional Golfers' Association of America to captain the 2014 United States Ryder Cup Team. Watson becomes the seventh U.S. golfer to serve more than one term as Ryder Cup Captain, returning to duty after guiding a U.S. Team in 1993 to its last victory overseas.
Watson will lead a 12-member team in the 40th Ryder Cup, Sept. 26-28, 2014, at Gleneagles' PGA Centenary Course in Perthshire, Scotland. At age 63, Watson is the oldest to be named a Ryder Cup Captain for either an American or European Team, surpassing British legend J.H. Taylor, who was 62, when he guided Great Britain to victory in 1933.
Watson will be 65 when the 40th Ryder Cup convenes in Scotland, a country where he won four of his five Open Championships between 1975 and 1983. In 2014, Watson also will share the longest period between Captain roles with another legend, Ben Hogan, who served in 1947, '49 and '67.
"Tom Watson is one of the most respected players and ambassadors in the game of golf, and The PGA of America is excited that he has accepted the task of once again guiding a United States Ryder Cup Team," said PGA of America President Ted Bishop. "The 40th Ryder Cup at Gleneagles will mark 21 years since the U.S. has won a Ryder Cup on foreign soil. Tom was the last American Captain to accomplish this feat and we hope that he can do it again."
Watson is one of 27 individuals to guide a U.S. Team in one of the world's most compelling sports events. Inducted in 1988 into the World Golf Hall of Fame, Watson owns 70 worldwide professional championships since becoming a Tour professional in 1971. His eight major titles include five Open Championships (1975, '77, '80, '82, '83), two Masters (1977, '81), and the 1982 U.S. Open. He shared runner-up honors in the 1978 PGA Championship.
"In 2014 in Perthshire, Gleneagles will host the Ryder Cup for only the second time in golf's birthplace – Scotland – a place that has been very special to me during my career," said Watson. "It's hard to believe that it was nearly 20 years ago that I enjoyed one of the most thrilling experiences in my career in being Captain of the winning 1993 Ryder Cup Team. The memories I take from there are forever imprinted, especially Davis Love's winning putt to seal the victory for our team late in the singles matches.
"As the 2014 Captain, it is my task to add a sense of calm and organization to the boiling pot of nerves and emotions the players experience in playing for our country and their fellow teammates. I will do all I can possibly do to see that the outcome of these 2014 Matches will be the same as in 1993."
Since joining the Champions Tour in 1999, Watson has won 14 times, including the 2001 and 2011 Senior PGA Championships among six senior major titles. In 2009, at age 59, Watson became the oldest player to hold a 54-hole lead in a major championship. He is the only golfer to post a round of 67 or lower in all four majors at least once in four different decades.
A native of Kansas City, Mo., Watson is a 1971 graduate in psychology from Stanford University, where he was a three-time All-American (1969-71) selection. He went on to become a six-time PGA Player of the Year (1977-80, '82, '84), and was a three-time Vardon Trophy winner (1977-80).
Watson competed on four U.S. Ryder Cup Teams (1977, '81, '83 and '89), compiling a 10-4-1 overall record. In 1993, he was Captain of the American Team that defeated Europe, 15-13, at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England.
In September 2014, Gleneagles joins Muirfield (1973) as the only Scottish venues to host golf's most compelling event. The PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles, a Jack Nicklaus design, has served as host to the Johnnie Walker Championship, and is set in the heart of Scotland.
The Ryder Cup began in 1927 when enterprising English seed merchant Samuel Ryder commissioned the casting of a gold chalice that bears his name. The U.S. Team defeated Great Britain, 9½ to 2½, in the inaugural matches in Worcester, Mass.
Since then, except for a span (1939-45) during World War II and following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks upon America, the Ryder Cup has been held biennially with the U.S. and Europe alternating as host. Since 1985, Europe owns a 9-4-1 advantage in golf's pre-eminent event.

FBI Director Robert Mueller's top aide was told former CIA chief David Petraeus was having an extramarital affair that might have compromised national security a week before the Nov. 6 elections, a congressional official said Monday.
The disclosure raises fresh questions about why the FBI leadership withheld the information from the nation's top intelligence official and the congressional committees that oversee the U.S. intelligence community until after President Barack Obama won re-election.
Had the affair that forced Petraeus' startling resignation on Friday become public earlier, it might have stoked a political outcry already flaring over the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, two CIA contractors and a State Department staffer in a Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, by suspected Islamist extremists.
New details emerged Monday of the affair between Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell, whose allegedly threatening emails to another of the former four-star Army general's friends triggered the FBI investigation that uncovered their relationship.
Petraeus, 60, and Broadwell, 40, began their affair about two months after he became CIA director in September 2011, and they had agreed to end it about four months ago, said retired Army Col. Steve Boylan, a former Petraeus aide who is acting as his unofficial spokesman.
"There weren't a lot of meetings," Boylan told McClatchy. "Based on what I understand, it was a mutually agreed upon realization that this was something they shouldn't be doing."
Petraeus was informed of the FBI investigation at, or just before, the beginning of November, and told his wife of 38 years, Holly, just before he sent a statement to the CIA workforce on Friday, admitting to adultery and announcing that he was resigning, said Boylan.
"They are a very strong family. He has done a pretty bad thing and hurt them deeply," he said. "But given time and space, they can get through it."
Boylan denied that Petraeus ever passed classified information to Broadwell.
"The two were separate," he said. "One was his private life. One was his professional career, which came to an end on Friday, at least for now."
Broadwell, a West Point graduate and Army reservist who lives in Charlotte, N.C., is married with two children.
The FBI investigation that uncovered the affair started during the summer after a woman identified as Jill Kelley, of Tampa, Fla., complained to an FBI agent, who also is a personal friend, about what she considered threatening emails from an anonymous sender. The emails reportedly accused Kelley, who became friends with Petraeus and his wife while the general served as head of the Tampa-based U.S. Central Command, of improper behavior with Petraeus.
The sender was eventually identified as Broadwell by FBI investigators, who found emails in her inbox that led them to conclude that she was having an affair with Petraeus. An FBI spokesman on Friday emphasized that Petraeus is not the target of any criminal probe or charges.
It remained unclear on Monday at what point Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Mueller were officially notified by their subordinates of the investigation's findings.
A spokesman for the majority leader of the House of Representatives, Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., said that an FBI whistleblower informed the lawmaker by telephone on Oct. 27 of an affair involving Petraeus.
The whistleblower "warned that national security or classified information may be compromised as a result of an extramarital affair on behalf of David Petraeus," Cantor's spokesman, Rory Cooper, told McClatchy.
Cantor and his chief of staff, Steve Stombres, decided the following day to contact Mueller's office. Hurricane Sandy, however, struck that evening, shutting down Washington and forcing them to delay the call until Oct. 31, when Stombres spoke to Mueller's chief of staff, Aaron Zebley, and "gives everything he's got," Cooper said.
The FBI called back the following day and told Stombres that it couldn't confirm or deny the investigation that uncovered the affair, but emphasized that national security and classified information were top priorities for the bureau.
It was "a very formulaic answer," said Cooper.
FBI spokesmen didn't immediately respond to emailed questions about whether Zebley informed Mueller of Stombres' call, or when Mueller first learned of Petraeus' affair or the investigation that uncovered it.
The New York Times on Monday reported that the FBI didn't conclude that Petraeus hadn't committed a crime until after interviewing Broadwell for a second time on Nov. 2. Bureau officials then informed Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who oversees the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, of the affair about 5 p.m. on Election Day.
Clapper asked Petraeus on the following day to resign. The former general submitted his resignation on Thursday to Obama, who took until the following day to accept it.
The federal government was closed Monday for Veterans Day, but the White House, the Justice Department and the FBI were expected to come under intense pressure from Congress, the news media and the public on Tuesday about when they first learned of the affair.
Some senior lawmakers want to know why they weren't told about the matter until Friday. Legal requirements mandate that congressional oversight committees be kept informed of all intelligence activities, including possible compromises of national security and classified information.
"This is something . . . that could have had an effect on national security. I think we should have been told," Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, told Fox News on Sunday. "There is a way to do it."
The FBI and the Justice Department, however, also are subject to privacy considerations and rules protecting people involved in investigations who have been found not to have violated any laws.
Senior CIA and FBI officials were expected to meet with Feinstein and other lawmakers on Wednesday to discuss Petraeus' affair.
Kelley, the woman to whom Broadwell sent emails, and her husband are "big supporters of the military" and became friends with Petraeus and his wife when Petraeus served as CENTCOM commander from October 2008 until June 2010, Boylan said.
Asked why Petraeus resigned when the FBI probe found no evidence that he had broken the law, Boylan replied, "He felt that based on his personal beliefs and his own ethics and values, he could not lead an organization with this having occurred. He felt the right thing was to step down."
Numerous questions, however, remained unanswered. They included whether CIA staff working close to Petraeus were aware of the affair.
As the nation's top spy, Petraeus was one of the most closely protected senior U.S. officials. A security team guards him around the clock, manning a command center at his home, said a former senior intelligence official, who requested anonymity in order to speak freely. On overseas trips, the team stays in the rooms on either side of the director's room and keeps his door under constant surveillance.
"They'd know who was going into the room, but they wouldn't know what was going on behind the closed door," he said.

Note: Membership is through a Society (Genealogical Societies, Family Associations, and Historical Societies), not individual memberships)Registration can be done online or mailed in. A FGS Conference Blog has been set ups for any questions and comments you may have. One blogger wrote:
"While the main aim of the FGS Conferences is education that does come in many forms. Lectures, workshops, vendor demos, Q&A time, networking, and mealtime discussions are just some of those forms. Four days of time. What will you gain? Energy, enlightenment, invigoration, excellence, electricity, exploration, enjoyment, edification, entertainment, ethics, and do you need more reasons to add next September 2-5 to your 2009 genealogy events calendar?
Shop in the Exhibit Hall, enjoy good food and speakers at the luncheons and the banquet, have fun talking with others, and leave with renewed energy to work on your family history. Take back great knowledge to your genealogical society, become a better researcher, writer, or editor, learn about archives, libraries, federal records, state records for Arkansas and many other states, and get updated on technology and software. Over the next eleven months this blog and the FGS Website will share extensive details on all these aspects of a genealogical conference."
Paula Stuart-Warren has set up a Facebook page as another resource to keep you up to date on FGS conference news. Do you want to advertise a product or your services? One blogger wrote:
"The conference syllabus carries advertisements on a variety of genealogical and historical services, products, and organizations. The syllabus is seen by all the conference registrants, speakers, vendors, and post conference at libraries. Do you need a place to tell about publications, software, maps, genealogical services or your organization? Will your business be debuting something spectacular at the conference? The ad might be for an upcoming event, seminar, institute, or to tell genealogists, librarians, archivists, editors, and others about your institution and its publications. Do you want to advertise some special research services? Whatever your need, the syllabus is a sensible location to place your ad at a reasonable cost."
Do you still need convincing to attend? The keynote speaker for Thursday morning will be Tim Sullivan, CEO of the Generations Network, Inc. This will be one night you will not want to miss. The food will be wonderful, visiting with friends, making new contacts, networking, attending informative lectures will make Little Rock, AR the place to be the first week in September 2009! Hope to see you there….
