Silvio Mazzoni and Remonta Habano in the $25,000 SmartPak Grand Prix, presented by Pfizer Animal Health.
OCALA, FL (February 11, 2011)--After a successful two-week Pre-Circuit and a short break, show jumping resumed at HITS Post Time Farm in Ocala, Florida on Tuesday with the Ocala Winter Classic, the first of six AA-rated weeks of competition. Silvio Mazzoni of Leesburg, Virginia piloted his own Remonta Habano to a decisive win in Thursday afternoon's $25,000 SmartPak Grand Prix, presented by Pfizer Animal Health.
Mazzoni and Remonta Habano have been competing together for a year, and are one of several new horse-and-rider teams showing at HITS Ocala this season. Last year, the duo enjoyed six weeks at HITS Culpeper and finished the circuit with a win in the $15,000 Brook Ledge Open Jumper Prix at the Culpeper Finals.
On Thursday at HITS Ocala, 30 riders took the field to navigate the first-round course set by International Course Designer Bernardo Cabral of Lisbon, Portugal. The course featured 12 obstacles and 15 efforts. The last line was a liverpool to a triple combination to a wide oxer to finish the course, and proved to be the toughest part of the course as 15 of the 30 teams had faults in that line.
Three trips in, Hunter Holloway of Topeka, Kansas riding Hays Investment Corp.'s Argentina looked to be the first to go clear, but crossed the timers just a hair over the time allowed of 80 seconds. Holloway was one of three teams to rack up a single time fault in the class and, as a result, she finished in eighth place.
Mazzoni followed Holloway and produced the first clear effort of the class within the time allowed. Three trips later, David Tromp of North Salem, New York and Beyaert Farm Inc.'s Casey laid down the next clear ride, ensuring a jump-off. Six trips later, Germany's Andre Thieme joined the jump off list with Seth Vallhonrat's Coco 135. Four trips later Tromp returned to the ring on his second mount, Renoir du Buisson, and went clean, which gave him a two-horse advantage in the jump-off.

Jordan Coyne of New Port Richey, Florida and her own Lazaro were the last to go in the first round, and were the final pair to advance, setting the stage for an exciting jump-off.
Cabral adjusted the first-round course for the jump-off and kept seven of the original obstacles, including the B and C elements of the triple combination, and the final oxer.
Mazzoni and Remonta Habano, in their first Grand Prix outing of the season, set a strong pace for the rest of the field with a clear round in 37.414 seconds, the Great American Time to Beat, which earned them the win in their first Grand Prix outing of the season.
Tromp and Casey took the field next and had a heartbreaking rail down at the last fence for a total of four faults in 38.690 seconds, which ultimately placed them third.
Thieme and Coco 135 finished in second place with the only other double-clear effort of the day in 39.807 seconds.
Coyne and Lazaro moved up to show fourth and dropped two rails mid-way through the track to end up with eight faults in 40.655 seconds and a fourth-place finish.
As the last to go, Tromp and Renoir du Buisson looked to take the lead. The team pulled the same two rails as Coyne for eight jumping faults, and their time of 41.194 seconds was just a half-a-second behind, putting them in fifth place to end the class.
Wednesday's $2,500 Brook Ledge Open Welcome had 25 horse-and-rider combinations embark on Cabral's course, and the win went to Tracy Magness and Mr. and Mrs. John Bartko's Tarco Van Ter Moude. It was their second win of the season in this popular 1.40 meter class.

Here are some frequently asked questions. If your question isn't below, please feel free to get in touch and we will be happy to help.
DO YOU NEED A LICENSE TO FLY A UAV?
Yes! The CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) assess every commercial UAV drone operator through their BNUC-S license scheme, before issuing a license to conduct commercial aerial video & photography work. The BNUC-S training course provides the licensed UAV operator with the necessary skills to be able to conduct this type of work in a safe and controlled manner and safety is taken seriously. Operators have to submit an Operations Manual, which details how you will conduct your work. The Manual has to be approved by the CAA before a license is issued. Over and Above Media are covered by £5 million public liability insurance. UAV operators can only get insurance if they have a CAA license and BNUC-S certificate.
CAN YOU FLY IN RAIN AND WIND?
We can't fly in the rain as this affects the electronics in our equipment especially the camera; any water on the camera lens will ruin the media capture. We can fly safely in wind speeds up to 18mph. Anything more is beyond the UAV's safety working limits. The wind does not affect the footage captured due to the incredible stability of the camera gimbal.
WHAT FORMAT FILES CAN YOU SUPPLY?
Video is captured in AVCHD or MP4 format UP TO 4K.
No! The CAA issue rules to ensure safety to the public . We are bound by these rules as part of our license conditions. This Permission is granted subject to the following conditions, namely, that the said aircraft shall not be flown: Above a height of 400 ft. Over or within 150 metres of an open air assembly of more than 1000 persons. Over or within 50 metres of persons, structure or vessel not under our control. In a built up area, town or settlement. In a manner that could cause an accident.
It may also be that you are in a geographical area that we are unable to fly in, due to restrictions, please check with us first. Please give us as much detail as you can. Although these rules may seem restrictive, we can fly closer to people and property if they are under our control in accordance with our operating procedures.
Each flight lasts up to 18 minutes and we generally carry around ten batteries per aircraft and we bring chargers with us.
Yes we can though naturally we require a fairly spacious room to fly in. When we operate indoors we are not subject to the rules and regulations placed upon us by the C.A.A. however a discussion needs to be had regarding insurance.
WHAT ARE YOU COSTS AND TERMS?
Costs vary according to the nature and location of the job. We give some ballpark figures and our full T&Cs in our Rates + Terms PDF document.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation intervenes in CVS class-action
Get Designer Sex Toys for Men and Women at insane deep discounts!
A group of patients with HIV and AIDS gained another ally in their class-action against CVS Health's Caremark on Thursday, with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation telling the U.S. Supreme Court that the pharmacy benefit manager's patient steering practices violated federal disability law.
AHF's amicus brief supports a suit at least five patients brought against the retail health giant in 2018, claiming the company's blanket requirement that all customers receive prescriptions from a CVS mail-order pharmacy or retail pharmacist threatened their health and privacy. The patients receive their drug benefits through their employers, which have contracted with CVS to administer their benefits. They argue that they are being disproportionately impacted by a CVS requirement that applies to all plan participants.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments in December.
"For people living with HIV/AIDs, real specialty pharmacies and pharmacists that focus on HIV/AIDS and in-person treatment provide demonstrably superior care than do mail-order pharmacies and retail pharmacies," Jonathan Eisenberg, deputy general counsel for litigation at AHF, said in a news release. AHF is a not-for-profit provider that specializes in care for individuals with Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. "We believe that CVS' denial of choice in pharmacy services for HIV/AIDS patients is both wrong and discriminatory."
CVS forcing individuals to receive their medications through the mail or from a specific pharmacy is a "cruel and potentially deadline" cost-saving measure that results in inferior care and worse health outcomes, AIDS Healthcare Foundation wrote in a brief. The lifetime cost of treating the illness is $500,000 per person, according to the latest data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. The group pointed to a 2012 report by Walgreens Co. that studied 14,000 people living with HIV/AIDS across seven states to find that individuals who visited HIV-focused specialty pharmacies achieved the best outcomes.
In addition to lacking the specialization needed to manage the disease, AHF alleged that in at least one instance CVS ran out of medications, and referred the patient to visit the not-for-profit provider for a free short-term supply.
"AHF was able to provide that crucial care to the patient, but the incident exposes serious flaws in CVS's business model and how it discriminates against people with HIV/AIDS, abandoning these patients to fend for themselves and to rely on the kindness of strangers in moments of need created by CVS," the amicus brief says.
The case tests antidiscrimination protections offered under the Affordable Care Act, which expanded insurance access for many HIV/AIDS patients for the first time, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
CVS "abhors" discrimination on the basis of disability, a spokesperson wrote in an email. They noted that AHF owns a specialty pharmacy.
"Our PBM offers clients numerous clinical tools and pharmacy network options and each client selects the options that best meet its benefit plan objectives," the spokesperson said. "In this case, restriction on plaintiffs' specialty medications applied equally to more than 300 drugs on the specialty drug list and to all plan members, not just patients with HIV/AIDS."
AHF is not the first group to file an amicus brief on these patients' behalf. At least six other organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union, National Health Law Program and Disability Rights Advocates have also written to the Supreme Court about this case.

Stop Jerry Brown's Delta Tunnels
Take Action Now to Stop Jerry Brown's Delta Tunnels by Dan Bacher If you want to save the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, the largest estuary on the West Coast of the Americas, and Pacific Coast fisheries, it's time to take action against Governor Jerry Brown's Delta Tunnels Plan. The pork barrel project, if constructed, would hasten the extinction of Central Valley steelhead, Sacramento River Chinook salmon, Delta and longfin smelt, green sturgeon and other fish species, as well as imperil salmon and steelhead populations on the Trinity and Klamath rivers. The last round of public comments on the California Water Fix, formerly called the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP, ends in just 65 days, October 30. That's why it is essential that you submit a public comment to go on record opposing the Delta tunnels/CA WaterFix/BDCP. This will be your last chance to submit a public comment -- federal agencies may attempt to permit this plan as early as 2016! Go to the Restore the Delta website to submit a public comment, sign their petition to send an automatic letter or create your own using their letter template: http://restorethedelta.org/take-action-oppose-the-delta-tunnels/ "Let's get our neighbors, friends and family members to submit as many public comments as we can opposing the tunnels," according to an action alert from Restore the Delta (RTD). "Together, Californians can stop this insane project. We have done it before and we can do it again!" Caleen Sisk, Chief and Spiritual Leader of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, emphasized what is at stake if the tunnels are built. "I believe that the Delta should stay the same for future generations of salmon and people," said Chief Sisk. "The tunnels will kill the Delta by diverting all the Sacramento River, the tunnels are being build large enough to divert the entire river. This will be a irreversible water tragedy affecting our air and food sources and clean waters!" According to RTD, "The impact on wildlife and plant species in the Delta that depend on freshwater include the Delta smelt, chinook salmon, steelhead, San Joaquin kit fox, and tricolored blackbird, protected species already on the brink that will face decimation due to a diminishing food-web." On the ocean, the ESA-listed South Pacific Puget Sound Orca Whales depend on migrating Central Valley salmon that will be harmed by less water flowing through the Delta. The tunnels plan also appears to ignore Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which prohibits federal agency actions that are likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered species or that "result in the destruction or adverse modification of [critical] habitat of [listed] species." The problem is that the Brown administration refuses to consider any other options to the tunnels to solve our ecosystem and water supply problems, such as the Environmental Water Caucus' responsible exports plan that sets an annual cap on Delta water exports of 3 million acre-feet. RTD said our tax and ratepayer dollars would be much better spent on: • More aggressive water efficiency program statewide that would apply to both urban and agricultural users. • Funding water recycling and groundwater recharging projects statewide that would be billions of dollars less expensive for rate payers than constructing a new version of the Peripheral Canal or major new surface storage dams. Meanwhile, these projects move communities towards water sustainability. • Retiring thousands of acres of impaired and pollution generating farmlands in the southern San Joaquin Valley and using those lands for more sustainable and profitable uses, such as solar energy generation. • Improving Delta levees in order to address potential earthquake, flooding, and future sea level rise concerns at a cost between $2 to $4 billion and is orders of-magnitude less expensive than major conveyance projects that are currently being contemplated. • Increasing freshwater flows through the Delta to reduce pollutants so ecosystems and wildlife can be restored. • Installing modern, state-of-the-art fish screens at the south Delta pumps to reduce the "salvage" of Central Valley steelhead, Sacramento River Chinook salmon, Sacrament splittail, Delta and longfin smelt, striped bass, threadfin shad, American shad and a host of other fish species. The Delta smelt, an indicator species that demonstrates the health of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, reached a new record low population level in 2014, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's fall midwater trawl survey released this January. Department staff found a total of only eight smelt at a total of 100 sites sampled each month from September through December. Since then, the Delta surveys have revealed the continuing march of Delta fish species to the edge of extinction. (https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentId=92840) The surveys were initiated in 1967, the same year the State Water Project began exporting water from the Delta. The surveys show that population indices of Delta smelt, striped bass, longfin smelt, threadfin shad, American shad and Sacramento splittail have declined 97.80%, 99.70%, 99.98%, 97.80%, 91.90%, and 98.50%, respectively, between 1967 and 2014, according to Bill Jennings, Executive Director of the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance (CSPA). Fortunately, people throughout California strongly oppose Jerry Brown's salmon-killing tunnels. Outside the plush Los Angeles headquarters of agribusiness tycoon Stewart Resnick on August 19, 25 protesters chanted, "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Corporate Greed has got to go" and "Mayor Garcetti, have some will. Don't let Resnick raise our bills." The protesters, including Los Angeles ratepayers, community leaders and representatives of water watchdog groups, demanded that Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti protect LA water ratepayers from funding the massive Delta tunnels project promoted by Governor Jerry Brown to export more water to corporate agribusiness interests and oil companies on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley.


Clarkson Potter, a division of Penguin Random House, and Endemol Shine North America have partnered on a second cookbook based on the "MasterChef Junior" TV series.
The "MasterChef Junior Bakes" title will feature more than 100 recipes from alumni of the series and include a foreword from celebrity chef Christina Tosi. Young bakers who read the book will discover how to make treats such as vanilla bean sugar cookies, glazed jelly doughnuts with powdered sugar and German chocolate cupcakes with ganache filling.
Endemol Shine's deal marks another play at the do-it-yourself market for the "MasterChef Junior" brand. Last year, the agency brokered an agreement with Craftsy for a series of cooking courses inspired by the show.

UPDATED with Fox Business News ratings: Fox News Channel celebrates its 15 consecutive years as the country's most watched cable news network.
The news network founded during Bill Clinton's presidency that climbed to No. 1 during Bush's administration, in January, FNC clocked 2.9 million primetime viewers and 1.8 million in total day. In the news demo, FNC in primetime logged 574K 25-54 year-old viewers and 375K in total day.
CNN, meanwhile, averaged 1.172M primetime total viewers and 795K total day overall, as well as 388K primetime news-demo viewers and 246K news demo viewers in total day.
MSNBC's primetime overall audience of 1.174M in primetime edged past CNN's, though MSNBC trailed CNN in the news demo (278K). In total day, MSNBC delivered 650K overall viewers and 156K news demo viewers.
FNC had 14 of the top 15 programs in cable news for the month, topped by The O'Reilly Factor, which logged 4 million viewers. Tucker Carlson, who on January 9 took over for Megyn Kelly when she bowed out of FNC's primetime to join NBC News, was not far behind with 3.7M viewers. The First 100 Days, hosted by Martha MacCarllum, clocked 3.5M viewers in its two weeks on FNC's schedule, and Sean Hannity's show averaged 3.1M.
All three networks enjoyed big Donald Trump-Inauguration-related ratings boosts compared to January 2016.
FNC, for instance, jumped 34% in primetime total viewers and 44% in the news demo. Total day, FNC spiked 44% in overall audience and 59% in the news demo.
CNN's hikes included year to year increases of 37% in primetime total viewers, 40% in the news demo, 37% in total day total viewers and 46% in the key age bracket.
While the channel was founded halfway through Bill Clinton's presidency, it came into its own after 9/11, and has led its cable news competition for the remainder of the Bush years, and the entirety of President Obama's tenure.
Meanwhile, FNC sister channel Fox Business Network said today that January was its second-highest rated month ever in the business day demo and that it beat rival CNBC in that demo for the fourth consecutive month, per Nielsen. FBN also noted that its Lou Dobbs Tonight, Varney & Co and Cavuto: Coast to Coast finished the month as top three business programs on cable.

Media » The Medicines Patent Pool on Janssen's Extension of its Access Policy for Paediatric Medicine Darunavir
The Medicines Patent Pool on Janssen's Extension of its Access Policy for Paediatric Medicine Darunavir
11 May 2015 / Statement
The MPP welcomes Janssen's announcement today extending its access policy for paediatric formulations of darunavir in support of the Paediatric HIV Treatment Initiative (PHTI). The company's new policy to waive enforcement of any patent rights for paediatric formulations of darunavir in additional countries, along with its commitment to providing technical expertise to the PHTI, complements the actions of other companies that have signed MPP licence agreements to improve HIV paediatric care.
The PHTI, a collaboration among MPP, UNITAID, the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) was launched last May to speed the development of better-adapted HIV medicines for children living in resource-limited countries. PHTI partners are currently working with industry, pharmacokinetic experts, regulators, the WHO and others on projects for the development of WHO "missing formulations" to meet new treatment guidelines for children and have kicked off development plans for both abacavir/lamivudine/efavirenz (ABC/3TC/EFV) and for darunavir boosted with ritonavir (DRV/r).
The WHO has identified DRV/r as an urgently needed combination for "robust second-line alternatives"[1]and thus the MPP has been working with Janssen to facilitate DRV/r development by the PHTI. AbbVie has granted the MPP a licence for ritonavir allowing generic manufacturers to reformulate and combine the antiretroviral with other paediatric medicines, for example, darunavir, for developing optimized paediatric formulations. Janssen's participation on the PHTI DRV/r project team is crucial to the success of DRV/r development and distribution.
Developing high-priority fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) for children with HIV is a public health priority. While the world has made significant progress in scaling up HIV treatment programmes for adults, only a quarter of children living with the virus receive therapy. A lack of child-friendly treatments appropriate across all ages and weight-bands contributes to low coverage rates. To date, MPP has signed paediatric licences with AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Gilead, MSD and ViiV Healthcare to narrow the treatment gap for the 3.2 million children now living with HIV globally.

The domestic gas price is notified at USD 3.69/mmbtu (GCV basis) for H1 FY2020, an increase of 9.8 percent from the price of USD 3.36/mmbtu (GCV basis) applicable for H2 FY19, the rating agency Icra said in its report.
Mumbai: Even as the increase in domestic gas prices is in line with the rise in global gas indices, the price notified at USD 3.69/mmbtu is expected to provide only a partial relief to the gas producers, the report said.
"Moreover, shale gas production continues to be robust in USA. Accordingly, Asian spot LNG prices which remained USD 10 11/mmbtu during the summers of CY18 have already declined to well below USD 5/mmbtu mark," it said.
Commenting on the findings, Icra's senior vice-president K Ravichandran said, "the gas price for H1 FY20, though higher than H2 FY19, continues to remain low at an absolute level.
Additionally, the ceiling on price for gas produced from deep water, ultra deepwater, high temperature and high-pressure fields has also been announced at USD 9.32/mmbtu for the period H1 FY20 which is 21.5 percent higher than the price ceiling of USD 7.67/mmbtu for the period H2 FY19 which could incentivise development of such projects.

His records for career wins and career strikeouts are NCAA All-Division records.[citation needed] DeSalvo was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in July 2016, becoming the first Division III pitcher inducted.
DeSalvo was an All-League player for the Delaware Cows of the Great Lakes League, He also played for the Danbury Westerners of the New England Collegiate Baseball League.
DeSalvo was signed as an undrafted free agent by the New York Yankees in 2003. In 2005, he posted a 9-5 record and a 3.02 earned run average (ERA) in 24 starts with the Trenton Thunder. In 2006, his control deserted him, as he averaged 15 and 7.9 walks per 9 innings in, respectively, 78 innings at Trenton and 38+2⁄3 innings at Triple-A Columbus Clippers. In the minor leagues from 2003–06, he averaged 7 hits, 5 walks, and 8 strikeouts per 9 innings.

He went 6+2⁄3 innings with 2 strikeouts, while only giving up 7 hits and 2 runs.
On January 5, 2008, he signed a minor league deal with the Atlanta Braves. On August 15, he was called up from the Richmond Braves to replace Tom Glavine on the Braves roster, and was briefly used in the bullpen before being sent back down on August 23. DeSalvo was released on September 4 after refusing an outright assignment to the minors.

He pitched 5 innings, striking out 7 and giving up 6 earned runs. He was the winning pitcher thanks to an 18 run outburst by the York team.[citation needed] On February 10, 2011, he signed a contract with the York Revolution.[5] Despite being injured for much of the second half, he finished the season third in the Atlantic League in strikeouts with 108 and fourth in ERA at 3.89. He returned to pitch an inning in the final regular season game. He then pitched in both the divisional series win against Lancaster and the championship series win vs. Long Island. He was on the mound when the final out was recorded.[citation needed]
Lamigo Monkeys
DeSalvo signed with the Lamigo Monkeys of the Chinese Professional Baseball League for the 2012 season.

Contrived and torturously convoluted writing of a TV show's characters' relationships, done simply for the sake of interjecting more 'drama' into the series.
Shipper angst typically includes elements of lose, conflict, jealousy, and both real and perceived infidelities, that adversely affect and influence the thoughts and actions the show's characters. While these elements are standard ingredients of good drama, their overuse is unmistakable evidence of the kind of hack writing that reduces TV series drama to mere melodrama.
I stopped watching 'Battlestar Galactica' in the middle of the third season. I just couldn't stand watching any more of that silly shipper angst.

As a guitar player who is constantly chasing new gear and a new sound, sometimes it can be hard to just be content with what you have. Sometimes you just want to try new things, or get different sounds, but your budget just won't allow it. We believe that doesn't exclude you from trying new things and continuing to be inspired by playing. Let's talk about how you can get more out of your current setup.
The first thing we need to look at is pretty obvious, what do you already have? When we are talking about your rig, we are talking about your guitar, pedals and amp(s). So, what do you have and what is the style you are trying to go for? This is the most important piece, what do you want to sound like. Once you understand your genre, we believe any rig can get you there. Begin to learn and understand the limits of what each pedal can do, or what your pickups sound like when you crank the volume louder than you should. You need to understand what you are working with. A lot of this will come with experimentation and playing, but the goal is to be aware of what your gear can really do without changing things too drastically. Once you are there, let the manipulation begin!
If you have never tried stacking pedals, we would highly recommend it! Stacking is essentially where you turn on two pedals at the same time, usually drive pedals. Pretty simple right? So, from here we need you to begin to try different things. Something to be aware of, the order in which you stack makes a huge difference. For example, if you place an overdrive before a distortion, when you play them both the overdrive will tend to act more as a boost to it because of the generally lower gain, while the opposite way will hit the overdrive with gain and saturation. Both are correct and sound great, but it just depends on what sound you may be looking for.
In our eyes, the amp is the most important piece in your rig. It is where the base of your sound will come from. This being said, there is no right way or wrong way to set up your amp. Its all about experimenting and playing around with the knobs. Make full use of all the extra knobs that you never touch, such as reverb, vibrato, and even tremolo. All these effects are great for finding new sounds, but require you to get out of your comfort zone. We also think that when creating your setting, try to find that "one size fits all sound." What that means is a setting that sounds good with multiple genres you'll be playing, and even multiple guitars you'll be playing on. The key here is finding reliable tone to build off of. If your amp is the foundation of your tone, make sure it is solid on its own. If you aren't happy playing directly into your amp, you wont be fully happy adding to it.
This may seem obvious, but listen to us, this works! Most of us now tend to just set our volume knob to 10 and never touch it, but you are missing out on a ton of potential thats built right into your guitar. Back in the 70s before pedals became a big deal, most guitar players would leave their volume at about 7, and set the amp to that as their normal sound. When their big solo came, instead of hitting a boost pedal, players would just slam the knob up to 10. This push the amp harder and not only gave them more volume, but thicker gain and sustain. Right here, you essentially have 2 "gain settings" built right into your guitar. Using the tone knob can also create a bit more warm or lush sounds just by rolling it back a bit. Make sure to fool around with these, as it will really broaden the scope on what sounds you have at your disposal, and right at your fingertips.
There you have it! You don't have to spend more money to get the sound you want, you just have to have patience, think outside the box and have fun! Try out some of these tips and you can fall in love with your rig all over again.

The National Education Association couldn't have asked for better coverage of the Tiverton School Committee meeting on Tuesday from the Providence Journal's Gina Macris if the union had paid for it:
Amid the continuing rancor over an unsettled teachers' contract, School Committee member Leonard Wright injected a conciliatory tone.
The town has high-performing schools and high-performing teachers, he said,
"I don't think we should put them in the position of putting them behind" financially, Wright said.
"We should find another way to balance the budget," he said.
In the end, the rest of the committee took his advice — to the extent that it put off making any decisions that would ask teachers to take a cut in pay during the next school year.
After the meeting, Amy Mullen, president of the teachers' union, said she applauded Wright for quickly realizing that teachers would end up with a pay cut and "stating that it wasn't fair." …
Schools Supt. William J. Rearick presented the committee with three scenarios for next year's budget that pit salaries against rising out-of-pocket premiums for health care, with teachers ending up in the red. …
Wright said one of Rearick's options would give teachers an added $1,300 in salary — a raise of about 2 percent for those with the most experience — but make them pay $3,500 toward the cost of a family health insurance plan.
That figure, more than triple the $1,100 teachers now pay for family health care, represents about 25 percent of the total cost of a family premium.
The tell-tale phrase is "those with the most experience" — as opposed to, for example, "those who have been with the district longest." "Experience" makes it sound almost like a gauge of merit. More significant, though, is that the phrase allows Macris to avoid entirely her responsibility to explain the step system to her readers. Note that she actually flips the calculation so that the raise is $1,300, or "about 2 percent," when in fact it is the two percent that is given.
The math that Macris lays out is for teachers at step 10, which is the top step, relying entirely on the percent salary adjustments with each contract for raises. Teachers at every other step would receive the two percent on top of whatever percentage increase the step calls for. So, for Rearick's "Option 3," which is the one on which Wright and Macris focused, and his "Option 1," for which there is no salary increase, but only a 15% co-pay, the numbers would fall out as follows for teachers who take the family plan health insurance (with the "net change" as the dollar amount for teachers entering that step, including healthcare copay adjustment):
In summary, it is not at all accurate for Macris to offer her numbers as if they apply to teachers as a whole. Indeed, under no scenario do any teachers who do not take the health insurance suffer a "pay cut," and the fact that Option 1 is better for teachers across the board, if they take health insurance, indicates that a not-insignificant number must not take it. (Otherwise, the options wouldn't be interchangeable from the administration's point of view.)
To be honest, it strikes me as indicative of the intellectual habits of those who are used to the bottomless pit of public revenue to calculate healthcare as part of the salary in this way, because it assumes that teachers oughtn't bear some burden of increasing costs, leaving it all to the taxpayers to eat the increase. That aside, it's quite a negotiating scam to position the "most experienced" teachers such that, for them to get raises, everybody else must, as well.
It's a Good Gig if You Know the Right People
Tom W
Gina Macris has a track record of being, shall we say, sympathetic to the teachers unions.
For a number of years take yearly totals of the town's net expenditures for teacher payroll, pension system contributions, health care and other benefits – and then divide by the number of full time teachers.
That'll provide a close estimate of what the average teacher really makes, and of their raises from year to year.
I should add that the town pension contribution is an overlooked, but increasingly costly, element of teacher compensation.
The unions and sycophant school committees have become real artistes when it comes to hiding the true extent of compensation via steps; professional development days; lowered class sizes; sick time (and the accrual thereof); pensions; etc.
Donald B. Hawthorne
Justin:
I don't have all the Tiverton particulars but I am extremely familiar with how the NEA tried the pay cut argument in East Greenwich several months ago and we showed it was false. See here and here.
The key point to remember is this: Whatever step a teacher is at in one year, they go up to the next step in the subsequent year. So a step 1 teacher becomes a step 2 teacher the next year. I wrote about this in the ProJo in 2004. The NEA conveniently forgets to talk about the step change.
In addition, after years of getting mostly 8-12% annual salary increases and paying almost nothing for health insurance co-pays, going to a higher co-pay percentage in one year may result in a one-time reduction in pay for some school districts – but even that is only a one-time event. So be it. In a era of large budget deficits across the state, welcome to the real world where the taxpayers who pay their salaries have been paying higher co-pays for years.

Q: Any tutorials on creating an MVC3 login system without the default ASP.Net membership providers? I'm looking for a tutorial or small introductory guide on creating a login system for ASP.Net MVC3 without using the default ASP.Net membership provider.
I've created a new MVC3 project with the Internet Application template, and here is the contents of _LogOnPartial.cshtml:
@if(Request.IsAuthenticated) {
    <text>Welcome <strong>@User.Identity.Name</strong>!
    [ @Html.ActionLink("Log Off", "LogOff", "Account") ]</text>
}
else {
    @:[ @Html.ActionLink("Log On", "LogOn", "Account") ]
}

Is @User.Identity.Name part of the membership provider? I'd like to read some more on membership on ASP.Net MVC3, since I already have a database in place with user credentials, I do not need the prapackaged one.
Thank you!

A: Its actually fairly easy to implement custom authentication code in ASP.NET MVC.
In the LogOn method of your controller you'll need to call the FormsAuthentication provider after you have authenticated the user's credentials.
public ActionResult LogOn(LogOnModel model)
{
   //Handle custom authorization then call the FormsAuthentication provider

   FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(/*user name*/, true);

   //Return view
}

After this method call, The User.Identity.Name will be populated, and you can utilize the AuthorizeAttribute on your controllers or controller methods.
In the LogOff method of your controller you'll call the FormsAuthentication provider again
public ActionResult LogOff()
{
   FormsAuthentication.SignOut();

   //Return view
}

In honor of National Bundt Cake Day, I have a recipe to share for a Double Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake.
Last week I watched a documentary about the sugar that is found in our food, particularly the food that kids eat. You can watch the documentary here, in French only. Thus, our family has decided to stop buying junk food and start making our own cookies, cakes and snack food. Here are the reasons why..Firstly, we can control the amount of sugar and salt going into the finished product. Secondly, we only put in what we would like and we don't need all those extra preservatives and additives.
There was one zucchini left over from the pick your own ; and we've eaten enough zoodles this week. Therefore, I searched online for a chocolate muffin with zucchini so that the kids could get a good dose of chocolate with a side of hidden veggies (shhh don't tell them there are good things for them in it). I found this recipe for Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. I got the muffin pans out and was getting ready to put the liners in when I stumbled upon it being National Bundt Cake Day. Also since we don't get out the bundt cake very often, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to talk about a bundt pan.
We doubled the original recipe and made quite a few substitutions. This cake is also egg and dairy-free!
Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C. Spray the bundt pan with coconut oil and dust lightly with flour.
Combine the flax/chia seeds with water and set aside. Stir the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice with the almond milk and set aside as well.
Add each wet ingredient to the dry ingredient bowl and mix together. But do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and zucchini one by one.
Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 40-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let it cool and then remove from the pan with a plate on top. Let it cool and then enjoy with a glass of cool milk!
Yes, there are a few pieces of visible zucchini.

A repeated game is an effective tool to model interactions and conflicts for players aiming to achieve their objectives in a long-term basis. Contrary to static noncooperative games that model interactions among players in only one period, in repeated games, interactions of players repeat for multiple periods. Thus, the players become aware of other players' past behaviors and their future benefits, so as to adapt their strategies accordingly. In wireless networks, conflicts among wireless nodes can lead to selfish behaviors, resulting in poor network performances and detrimental individual payoffs.
In this paper, we survey applications of repeated games in different wireless networks. The main goal is to demonstrate the use of repeated games in encouraging wireless nodes into cooperations, thereby improving network performances and avoiding network disruption due to selfish behaviors. Furthermore, various problems in wireless networks and variations of repeated game models together with the corresponding solutions are discussed in this survey. Finally, we outline some open issues and future research directions.

Skadden hires private equity partner from Winston & Strawn in Paris
Nicola Di Giovanni joins amid European PE push by US firms

Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom has hired private equity lawyer Nicola Di Giovanni as a partner in Paris, as US firms continue to push their private equity benches in Europe.
Di Giovanni joins the New York firm from Winston & Strawn, where he was a corporate partner. His practice focuses on domestic and cross-border private equity matters, including acquisitions, buyouts and joint ventures on behalf of private clients.
Armand Grumberg, head of Skadden's Paris office and the firm's European M&A practice, said the hire reflected the firm's "strategic objective" of growing its private equity practice in the French capital.
Di Giovanni's recent work includes advising Transition Evergreen in its acquisition of German energy company C4 back in November 2021.
Upon arrival, Di Giovanni will be Skadden's fifth partner based in Paris. The wider team includes 13 associates and eight counsel, as listed on the firm's website.
Richard Youle, co-head of Skadden's private equity group, commented: "We have one of a small number of leading private equity practices in the UK and Germany, and Nicola's arrival in Paris is a strategic next step in the expansion of our pan-European offerings. I know that he will be a fantastic fit for both our clients and the firm."
US rival Squire Patton Boggs added two private equity partners in Paris in May – Maxime Dequesne and Anthony Guillame, who arrived from local PE boutique Lamartine Conseil and DLA Piper respectively. The same month it also added leveraged finance partner Benjamin Marché in the city from from Shearman & Sterling.
Elsewhere, Boston-based Goodwin Procter opened an office in Munich in April as it looked to continue its private equity-focused growth in Europe. The office is chaired by PE partner Jan Schinköth, who arrived from the local office of US rival Sidley Austin in May 2021 along with an associate.
His hire followed Goodwin securing a highly-regarded five partner PE team in London from Sidley the previous September led by Erik Dahl, formerly Munich managing partner and co-leader of Sidley's global private equity practice, and Christian Iwasko.

Anyone collect speakers?
Thread starter lazzer408
Start date 2010-09-29 6:44 am
lazzer408
I've gathered an assortment of drivers over the years. Some are unique or "vintage". Like some old Wharfedale dome tweeters. I have a pair of B&W (or was it B&O?) 8" woofers. Also some Philips dome tweeters. Some other smaller bookshelf woofers. Altec maybe.
If anyone likes to get their hands on this sort of thing let me know. I know it's hard to find replacement drivers but there's so many speakers out there it's hard to put a value on any of it.
I'd ebay them but I've been screwed over so many times I'd rather just find someone on the forum with an interest.
Pics if you need them.
Joao@AltheaMusica

I own following drivers:
1. Jensen H222 12" coaxial
2. RCA MI9449CX 15" coaxial
Like to sell them, interested then please contact me.

I've got a pair of Wolverine LS-12 drivers that were given to me new in the box. I'd like to sell them.
Who opened up my feeler to a forsale topic?

Oooooooo, what a topic. I fall into the category of Pak-Rat, extraordinaire. In my stash, there are six W15-FS, two Super 12 RS, two Coaxial 12's, three W10/FSB (bronze speech coils), two Super 8 FS/AL, five Super 3 tweets. All Wharfedales dating to the 50's and all work with exception of a few that need new foam, now in the process. Also, there are three cone & coiul assemblies for the W15FS that I imported from Wharfedale of England in the '72. There are also three Wharfedale crossovers, HS CR3/2 and a pair of alnico 5 inchers. Oh, four Wharfedale purple tweeters. I bought then just cuz they're purple. And two Wharfedale W12RS with ceramic magnets.
There's a University C15HC woofer, a University Diffusicone 8 and a University UL-HC horn tweeter, all dating to the 50's/60's. From the 70's/80's, there's two University midrange horn drivers, 16 ohm.
There's a half dozen or so Japanese 12's, Sansui, Pioneer and the like from the 70's.
Four Electro-Voice T-25 midrange drivers, two EV 1824M midrange horn drivers, two Electro-Voice T350 tweeters (the larger ones; . The smaller was the T-35) There's also replacement diaphragms for the T25's and T-350's and 1824M's.
A pair of JBL 2205's, now in use in a pair of Klipsch type corner horns that dwarf a Klipschorn.
Last, but hardly least, a pair of Jensen midrange horn/driver units, no model number, just labelled as a High Frequency Unit.
There are many newer drivers, mostly woofers that were purchased recently just because their Theile/Small parameters were good for Butterworth loading and they were on sale at a savings of about 25%. Several Focals, tweeters and mids, kevlar & titanium.
Parting with any of these would be like parting with a pet one has had for years.
We don't want to get into reel to reel recorders.


Here are some great lesson we can learn from the bible about building high self esteem and loving yourself as an individual.
In Matthew 22:39, Jesus instructs his followers to "love your neighbour as yourself" what this implies is that you need a healthy self esteem and you need to learn how to love yourself before you can be successful at loving others. In fact it will be very difficult for you to love others if you dont love yourself.
Usually when people have a low self esteem, it usually manifests itself in the way they treat others, they'll be rude, jealous, envious, and always looking for ways to put other people down and this is usually because such people are not happy with who they are, they dont love themselves and therefore have a hard time trying to love and appreciate others.
if you are envious or jealous of someone for example, it's because you see them better than you see yourself, you are not happy with who you are and what you have and therefore you find yourself being jealous of those who you feel have your ideal life - this is evidence of low self esteem.
Building high self esteem will, like Jesus Instructed his fellowers, require you to begin to love and accept yourself, be comfortable in your own skin, be happy with who you are and what you have on the way to where you want to be.
When you don't love yourself, it will be difficult to love your neighbour (other people), and when Jesus is talking about loving yourself, he is really referring to having a positive and good self esteem. Loving yourself is an issue of self-esteem, it is about building high self esteem so that you wont be threatened or intimidated by the success of others.
Self esteem is not about believing that you are better than everybody - in fact that is evidence of low self-esteem because you derive significance from putting other people down.
As a plant needs water and light to grow, so too humans need a healthy self-esteem to grow in life. if you walk around believing that other people are better and more capable than you then you will never fulfil your potential. A healthy self-esteem is built on believing that you are lovable and capable. A healthy self-esteem is built on believing what Gods word (the bible) says about you. It is not just knowing what God's word says about you but believing it. Some people know what the word of God says about them but don't believe it.
If what God and the bible says about you is important in building high self esteem, then it's important to know what God says about you in his words to you as documented in the bible.
Here are just a few things from the bible that God says about you, that will help you to begin to build your self esteem and love yourself.
Psalm 139:13-14 - You are wonderfully made, you are beautiful, stop allowing the media to tell you otherwise.
Philippians 4:13 - You can do all things through Christ, never tell yourself you can't achieve, never tell yourself you can't succeed.
Jer 1:5 - Before you were formed in your mother's womb God knew you, this means that your life is purposeful, your life is meaningful, God put you here for a reason, you are not useless.
John 3:16 - God loved you so much that he sent his only son to die for you, you are deserving of love, if God loves you this much it means that you deserve to be loved.
One of the books in the bible (1 Corinthians 13:4) talks about the attributes of love. If you want to know how to love yourself then you must apply these attributes of love in the way you treat yourself.
Love is patient - be patient with yourself, you might not yet be where you want to be but you will get there.
Love is Kind - be kind to yourself, think well of yourself, be positive towards yourself, treat yourself, don't harm yourself.
Dont envy others - when you envy others you are indirectly saying you are not good enough.
When you envy others you are not loving yourself.
Look good (present yourself well, make an effort, take pride in your appearance, when you look good you feel good).
Work hard to achieve your goals.
Think of past victories - you have won before, you can win again.
Give - giving makes you feel good, when you have done something for someone else with no strings attached.
Build positive relationships with others.
It's interesting that God made us to be a masterpiece, unique, one of a kind - Did you realise that out of almost 7 billion people in the planet no one has your fingerprint. Yet because we don't recognise our uniqueness and value we spend our lives trying to be a copy of someone else.
Yet the Lion is the king of the jungle. You too might not be the biggest, the best, the strongest, the smartest, the prettiest, the most qualified but you can still be the king, you can still be the leader, you can still make it, you can still succeed, you can still find the man or woman of your dreams.
What makes the Lion the king is it's attitude, the lion is not intimidated by any other animal, you too must not be intimidated by people who you feel are more beautiful or more educated or more accomplished or more wealthy - you can take them!
I recommend The Ultimate Self Esteem Formula for more great tips and advice on building a high self esteem.

Life timeline of Harvey U Austin
Harvey U Austin was born in 1891
Harvey U Austin was 14 years old when Albert Einstein publishes his first paper on the special theory of relativity. Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.
Harvey U Austin was 23 years old when Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, were assassinated by a Yugoslav nationalist named Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo, sparking the outbreak of World War I. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria-Este was a member of the imperial Habsburg dynasty, and from 1896 until his death the heir presumptive (Thronfolger) to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His assassination in Sarajevo precipitated Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Serbia, which in turn triggered a series of events that resulted in Austria-Hungary's allies and Serbia's declaring war on each other, starting World War I.
Harvey U Austin was 29 years old when The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, guaranteeing women's suffrage in America. The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex. It was adopted on August 18, 1920.
Harvey U Austin was 48 years old when Adolf Hitler signs an order to begin the systematic euthanasia of mentally ill and disabled people. Adolf Hitler was a German politician, demagogue, and Pan-German revolutionary, who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and Führer ("Leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator, Hitler initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and was central to the Holocaust.
Harvey U Austin was 54 years old when World War II: Hiroshima, Japan is devastated when the atomic bomb "Little Boy" is dropped by the United States B-29 Enola Gay. Around 70,000 people are killed instantly, and some tens of thousands die in subsequent years from burns and radiation poisoning. World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although conflicts reflecting the ideological clash between what would become the Allied and Axis blocs began earlier. The vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—eventually formed two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most global war in history; it directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of total war, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 50 to 85 million fatalities, most of whom were civilians in the Soviet Union and China. It included massacres, the genocide of the Holocaust, strategic bombing, premeditated death from starvation and disease and the only use of nuclear weapons in war.
Harvey U Austin was 66 years old when Space Race: Launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth. The Space Race refers to the 20th-century competition between two Cold War rivals, the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (US), for dominance in spaceflight capability. It had its origins in the missile-based nuclear arms race between the two nations that occurred following World War II, aided by captured German missile technology and personnel from the Aggregat program. The technological superiority required for such dominance was seen as necessary for national security, and symbolic of ideological superiority. The Space Race spawned pioneering efforts to launch artificial satellites, uncrewed space probes of the Moon, Venus, and Mars, and human spaceflight in low Earth orbit and to the Moon.
Harvey U Austin was 78 years old when During the Apollo 11 mission, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon. Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two people on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin, both American, landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC. Armstrong became the first person to step onto the lunar surface six hours after landing on July 21 at 02:56:15 UTC; Aldrin joined him about 20 minutes later. They spent about two and a quarter hours together outside the spacecraft, and collected 47.5 pounds (21.5 kg) of lunar material to bring back to Earth. Michael Collins piloted the command module Columbia alone in lunar orbit while they were on the Moon's surface. Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21.5 hours on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia in lunar orbit.
Harvey U Austin died on 2 Feb 1974 at the age of 83

Corpus Domini procession through Barga in spite of the rain
religious events ON 06/11/2012 BY: keane
Every year, sixty days after Easter, the Church celebrates "Corpus Domini": a religious solemnity in honour of the Eucharist (the 'body' – corpus – of Christ in the sacramental sign of bread): an observance that first developed in Italy the thirteenth century and in 1263 was extended by Pope Urban IV to all of Christian Europe.
In Barga as elsewhere, from that period the feast has been celebrated in solemn fashion, with a majestic candlelit procession in which the Eucharistic bread is borne through the city streets in a glass container know as a 'monstrance', which allows people to see the consecrated bread wafer.
Petals are arranged in patterns, quite often featuring hearts, on the streets the procession will pass through on its way up to the Duomo.
For the past two years that has been a small "revolution" in the way these images are created. Last year the inclusion of white flour in some of the designs added another dimension to some of the designs which became almost painterly in execution.
This year the inclusion of coloured sawdust has added to the possibilities making the designs even more adventurous.
As can be seen in the images below, in what was almost a nod in the direction of street graffiti, there was even a image made using templates and coloured sawdust in place of spray paint.
The unfortunate arrival of the rain just after the road had been closed and work had started on the petal designs made it look at one point as though all their hard work was to be in vain but in the end, a slightly smaller procession did leave Sacro Cuore but instead of making their way to the Duomo, they only went as far as San Rocco in Barga Giardino.
