Bikers go over the Hoan and directly to jail
For two bikers, a critical mass ride over the Hoan Bridge last week ended in the booking room of the Milwaukee County Jail.
Based on the sheriff's reports, anywhere from 50 to 150 bikers participated in the ride over the two-mile bridge, which is off limits to pedestrians and nonmotorized traffic. The outing was billed as a ride to protest "Gov. Scott Walker's Anti-Bicycling Agenda," and blocked traffic in both southbound lanes of I-794 about 6 p.m. on May 5.
Responding to a host of 9-1-1 calls, deputies caught and ticketed four of the participants. They booked one of them in the jail for resisting, and another to confirm his identity.
That was Juan Serrano, 23, from Covina Calif., who reportedly told the deputy: "I was supporting my friends who were protesting Luke Skywalker or something."
The others who were ticketed include: Samarah Hagagi, 19, of Kansas City, Mo., Caitlin Hamer, 21, of Milwaukee, and Donald Sanborn, 22, of Wauwatosa.
Their tickets carry fines of $178.
Hagagi also picked up the citation for resisting because she wouldn't stop for the deputy, according to the sheriff's report.
The ride was organized through the Milwaukee Bicycle Community, an informal advocacy group that shares information about group rides on the website www.mkebke.com.
Steve Roche helps run the site, and joined the group on the Hoan.
Their purpose was to generate attention and a spark a discussion about the merits of installing a lane for bicycles and pedestrians on the Hoan, he said.
In the decades since it opened, a number of cycling advocates and public officials have argued that the Hoan should be opened to non-motorists as a connection between Downtown Milwaukee and the south side neighborhoods and suburbs. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation rejected the idea, and proposed an alternate route using surface streets.

I'm always amazed at the number of anti-bike posters on these boards. I
bet the % of haters on here correlates well with the obesity numbers in

Live in a major urban area that is very bike friendly even for the HOGs. There are bicycle lanes throughout downtown, lots of trails and bus equipped with bike racks. There are even special crosswalks just for bicycles crossing major streets along the levees. Not a single bridge ever drove on banned bicycles.
For years Hoan sat unfinished as the bridge to nowhere. People use to bike around the barricades all the time. If memory serves when the Hoan opened people walked across. Maybe a compromise would work to allow bicycles on the weekends when car traffic is less. Also think the Hoan needs a reduced speed limit or a fixed speed trap. People driving way to fast on that bridge.notpaid2post May 12, 2011 2:22 PM
jimtherepublican proposes charging bicyclists $5,000/year to cross the Hoan Bridge.
How about charging drivers what the Hoan Bridge costs?
The $350 million redecking bonded at 4% over 30 years comes to over $20 million/year. There is no way the gas tax will ever generate that much money on the Hoan.
The highest Hoan traffic count I've ever seen is 43,000 daily crossings (about 21,500 each way) or at most 15.7 million crossings/year (assuming no drop off on weekends, holidays, or blizzards).
To cover just the cost of the deck (leaving nothing for any other work or upkeep for 30 years), each vehicle would have to pay $1.29 in fuel tax each time it crosses the Hoan, burning about 2.6 gallons each time it crosses the bridge.
I could work up similar numbers showing how the Zoo Interchange work will never be covered by gasoline taxes.
For all the screaming the Right does about transit subsidies, it has no problem subsidizing highways.TransitRider May 12, 2011 2:28 PM
I'm tired of they 'they don't obey the law' argument. Like any group, there are
going to be those that don't, but the majority do. So since there are cars that
roll through stop signs and fly through lights we should take cars off the road?
That's essentially your argument. The right-wing voice on these threads is so
predictable and childish. Do you guys all get your print-outs from Sykes and
Belling every morning so you can regurgitate the mindless arguments you
continue to follow day in and day out? The fact you would like to see people
KILLED for standing up for something is beyond me. Of course, none of you
would ever talk like this in person in public.......PharaohSpeaks May 12, 2011 2:33 PM

let me tell you a story of what happend on my lunch today for all you people like LGRepb.
I was driving down brady st, behind couple of men riding thier bicycles. they were having fun weaving around in the traffic lane... once decided to try to jump the sidewalk that juts out in front of the Up and Under. It looked pretty cool, Especially when he fell head over handlebars, right into the trunk of a parked car, denting it of course, and what did he do....he rode off. Now how about that. Now ask yourself, why do people always "hate" on bicycles...... for the numerous reasons such as this, I hope this guy has insurance on his parked car.mkemat May 12, 2011 2:47 PM
"Like any group, there are going to be those that don't, but the majority do. So since there are cars that roll through stop signs and fly through lights we should take cars off the road?"
What a load of crap. You might want to loosen up those bike shorts because it's cutting off circulation to your brain. I guarantee the VAST majority of you bike d-bags completely ignore the rules. My proof is observing the streets and roads in my community EVERY WEEKEND. If I'm in my car and run that red light, I'll probably getting a ticket. I have yet to see cops ticket a bike. If you want the same rights as a car, plunk down the $75 a year a car does for plates, if not, STFU.LGRepb May 12, 2011 2:49 PM
I have no problem with most cyclists, but there are enough of them out their that are so
damn pretentious. They think they are saving the environment, better then anyone who
burns gas, etc. They feel like it is their god given right to obstruct traffic and break numerous traffic laws because they are simply are higher then those who don't choose a
bike as a transportation mode.
If they acted like any other mode of transportation on the road it wouldn't be a problem.thebaron May 12, 2011 2:54 PM

LGRepb - "I'll probably getting a ticket" - slow down there professor.
Grammar first. As a biker, I follow the rules and I rant against those that
don't, simply because of safety and the matter of skewing these
'observations' of yours. So, because I bike (and drive for that matter) I'm
a d-bag. Sounds like you have some things to work out. Such anger.
STFU? Really?PharaohSpeaks May 12, 2011 2:57 PM
Clearly, many of you have no idea how a freeway bike lane operates. Nor do you understand that MANY major cities already have them in place. I biked frequently on the I-90 bridge in Seattle, and it's a great experience - with no danger of being run over/blown away/overturned/etc. because the lane is segregated from the roadway. Fancy that. Take a look at what safe cycling could look like before you post an ignorant comment: http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/bikemaps.htm

A lot of comments here about d-bag bikers and overweight suburbanites. Let's chill on both.
Lots of people like to bike. It's a quality of life issue not unlike many quality of life issues that are funded in part by fees, and in part by taxes. Bike racks on the buses I ride are utilized. Bike paths that I see are utilized. The interurban trail in Ozaukee County is a busy place in summer. Bottom line, people like to bike, and similar to other modes of transportation AND recreation, the users DO NOT and SHOULD NOT bear the entire burden of its costs.
Now, the HNTB reports discuss safety of biking the Hoan. It certainly it appears that it's a possibility, so let's stop with "it can't be done" rhetoric.
Yes, these protesters don't do themselves any favors. They just don't. And myopic people need to learn how the rest of the world views them and judges their actions.
To those that don't live and/or bike downtown, just take our word for it. It's more difficult than even a few miles out from downtown. The Oak Leaf is great, but the downtown to Bay View link is in need of improvement. The Hoan, especially with the current rehab, could have been a viable solution to this, that seems to be opposed mostly for political, not practical reasons.dk mke May 12, 2011 3:36 PM

- Posted on Tuesday 17 July 2012 - 09:30Joyce J Wangui, AfricaNews reporter in Nairobi, Kenya'Sex workers rights are human rights' - this is the house hold slogan that Kenyan prostitutes are arming themselves with as they demand for their rights. In the recent past, sex workers have borne the wrath of police and city council officials who harass them and interfere with their work. Ironically, only women are arrested whenever they are found plying the age-old trade while their male clients go scot free.The marking of the International Sex Workers Rights Day on 3rd March was meant to be a wakeup call for various stakeholders who perceive sex work as criminal, including government officials. But this has not seen the light of day as human rights violations perpetrated against sex workers continues.
Daughty Ogutu has seen it all. The former sex worker narrated to this reporter how she was a victim of police brutalization in her 'active' days. "They often beat me up, hurled insults at me and arrested me." The 28 year old, a founding member of the Kenya Sex Workers Alliance (KESWA), decries the double standards applied by most people, when dealing with prostitutes.
"The trade involves two parties but often times, only the prostitute and not her/his client is harassed," she says. The Kenyan society at large, Daughty says, is hypocritical. People are quick to point fingers at prostitutes but fail to see other grave ills committed in the society. Quoting her organisation's slogan, she says that 'Violence against us is not only tolerated, but even expected by society. It is clear that labelling sex workers as criminals puts us at odds with law enforcement authorities who should be protecting us and it sends a message to society that sex workers are expendable. Sex workers are not criminals and violence against us must be classified as crime.'
The sex workers umbrella body, KESWA has been instrumental in documenting human rights abuses on sex workers. This has spurred debate and action among civil society groups, lawyers, medics, academicians who have jointly vowed to stop the criminalization of sex workers. Among other things, the organization builds capacity among sex workers by training them on their rights.
"We train them on how they can document any violations using their mobile phones, which they can use as evidence in court." This is very pivotal as many young prostitutes suffer in the confines of their work. Some undergo serious bodily harms perpetrated by their male clients; others are forced to render free services against their will but they keep quiet as they don't know where to report such abuses.
Ironically, when human rights abuses are reported to the police, they (police) turn a blind eye and fail to act. In worst case scenarios, the same police even rape young girls who report such cases to them. Thus, the criminalization of sex work forces sex workers to live in fear of police who harass and abuse them with impunity. The society has failed to realize that majority of sex workers engage in the act as a means to an end. They are being arrested and their rights are being violated for doing work that supports their families.
"A sex worker is your every day person; he or she does not come from planet mars," says Daughty, adding that anyone is a potential sex worker. In Kenya, just like everywhere else, a sex worker could be a young girl, a career woman, a house wife, a gardener, taxi driver among others. When police harass such people on the basis of engaging in criminal work, they are denying them a chance to make a living. "A sex worker could even be a sister to a police, a politician or any member of the society; so authorities should be very careful when dealing with them."
In Nairobi as in other big cities in Kenya, the police and city council officers often conduct swoops on the streets where they arrest commercial sex workers, mostly female. As they drag them into police cells, they tell them that they arrest them for loitering, a claim that most sex workers find laughable.
"We need proper charges and not mere claims. We are ready to defend ourselves in a court of law," says John Mathenge, the national coordinator of KESWA.
Though prostitution is illegal in Kenya, Mathenge feels that the government should legalize as this would pave way for a safe environment in which sex workers enjoy the full scale of their rights. In the same breathe; Mathenge implores on the policy makers to create provisions that would allow sex workers to pay taxes. "This is an industry like any other and could generate money from which the government can raise revenue.
Repealing of sex work laws
Sex work in Kenya is currently regulated by a combination of colonial criminal law, recent laws including the 2006 Sexual Offences Act and municipal council bylaws. The legal code neither defines prostitution, directly criminalizes it nor forbids it.
Many feel it is illegal to live off the earnings of prostitution but are blind to the fact that this is the current situation. While the national law criminalises the involvement of third parties e.g. pimps, brothel owners or traffickers— the municipal bylaws outlaw 'loitering and importuning for the purpose of prostitution and 'indecent exposure" which are aimed at criminalising sex work itself.
The City Council of Nairobi is considering relaxing its bylaws to allow commercial sex workers work freely in the city. In effect, the move will allow a conducive environment for a trade widely shunned by the society.
Nairobi City Mayor George Aladwa has been on record advocating for the rights of sex workers, noting that the council would harmonize its by-laws with the new constitution to allow sex workers carry out their work freely. Though he doesn't talk of legalizing the age old trade, the Mayor says that the council would consult with different arms of government so as to complement the current by-laws in line with the new constitution and help the sex workers.
KESWA and other like minded organizations that protect the rights of sex workers have been trying to lobby policy makers to change laws that would regulate sex work. Sex workers argue that there should be a dialogue between the government and themselves, to try and unravel the issue of de-criminalizing the trade.
"We are ready to come into a negotiating table with government," says Mathenge who says that both parties should at least compromise.
Once the by-laws are harmonized, sex workers will operate in designated areas, set aside by the city council.
"We will certainly find places to have them operate freely without any harassment. These are people who have dedicated themselves to do their work, there is no need to continue harassing them," said an official from the council.
KESWA is in consultation with the police department to conduct awareness trainings for law enforcement officers. The training will focus on a change of attitude among the police, de-stereotyping sex trade, curbing police harassment, human rights among others. The umbrella body will also conduct media trainings that would help journalists report objectively on the issue of sex work and sexuality.
Access to health rights
The criminalization of sex work hampers the health rights of prostitutes. Due to negative stereotypes, most sex workers are not able to access basic health facilities. For the most part, they are shunned by doctors and not treated for even minor ailments.
Those who are HIV positive bear the heaviest brunt as they cannot access proper medication, including the access to ARV drugs. Unknown to many, sex workers have been very instrumental in the fight against HIV as they are part of the solution to preventing the spread of the scourge.
"Due to the nature of their work, majority of prostitutes use protection, contrary to what the society thinks," says Daughty. But some clients come with coercion, often using big moneys to sleep with them without protection.
According to *Mwikali, a veteran sex worker in Koinange street (Nairobi's famous sex spot), most prostitutes want to use condoms but often times are blinded by the money. "Sometimes a client can offer me Ksh10, 000($120) in exchange of unprotected sex." She will often take the money at the expense of the health risks associated with the trade.
Some clients adamantly refuse to use condoms with prostitutes thus endangering their health. The fact that the trade is criminalized and viewed as dirty has made it hard for prostitutes to defend their health rights. "Some clients are very violent and often threaten to harm you when you mention the use of condoms." After all, you are a prostitute, is what they say to us.
Sex work manifests in many forms. There are those who practice the trade in open streets, often skimpily dressed. Others prefer brothels, mainly operated by pimps.
According to Daughty, 60% of sex workers are career women who often supplement their income with sex work. "It is wrong to suggest that only half naked women who loiter the streets at night are prostitutes; a prostitute is your everyday woman or man." In Nairobi, some up-market residential has been turned into brothels where affluent men and women engage in illicit sex, even during day time.
"But police have turned a blind eye to this. Some highly placed personalities in the country have gone scot free because money changes hands between them and police. Is this not double standards? asks Daughty.
She adds that the society thinks that prostitutes are uneducated people and hence fall prey to police brutality. "You will be shocked that majority of sex workers are University students or career women. Some are CEO's of major corporations; but the society has failed to see this.
Daughty argues that the use of the word 'commercial' while referring to sex workers is stereotypical and prejudicial. "Not all prostitutes engage in sex for money. Some do it in exchange for gifts, food, school fees and other basic needs." Some women even exchange sex for tomatoes; that's how dire the situation can be.
There is nothing like a commercial sex worker. Why don't we refer to bankers as commercial bankers or lawyers as commercial lawyers? Do you see the double standards?

Lid sinds June 2012Very interesting.I have never looked at it that way-that there's nothing like commercial sex worker.But come to think of it,whats the line between a man complimenting a lady friend with a gift after a night of passion and prostitution? This is an age -old moral debate that has remained un-answered for ages.
Thanks for highlighting the plight of the voiceless,those that society treats like trash,but in away or the other needs. - Posted on Wednesday 31 October 2012 17:08

Product DescriptionDrawing candidly on the origins and experiences of North Point Community Church, Andy Stanley's Deep & Wide explains how to create a vibrant, sustained, and growing community that strongly appeals to people with little or no church background.
Deep & Wide shows how North Point wishes created a weekend experience where even those most skeptical unbelievers wanted to return simply because the message they heard was so compelling, and the people they met so authentic. At the center of this effort, according to Stanley, is his appeal to "dual audiences" in his sermons that draws in listeners but never "dumbs down" content. This approach also led North Point to create a dynamic spiritual formation program which emphasized teaching, community, and environment. Here, Stanley explains that teaching is made accessible in the church, but it is also a part of a larger church culture into which anyone may step. The emphasis is on creating a community of depth and openness which make everyone feel welcome within the church-even the first time they visit. Finally, for those willing to take their church through the process of growing Deep & Wide, Stanley includes a chapter on how to transformation your church, while emphasizing the importance of nurturing current believers and bringing new people into the church. This book is an ideal resource for a church staff to read together. It is equally valuable for individual leaders, program directors, and all leaders in the church to consider for their own ministries. Stanley brings together effectively two approaches that are often considered irreconcilable and has given leaders a road map wherein any church can be Deep & Wide. Product Information

Cinco E Triste Da Manha
CD (Item 61171) Tapecar/Amazon (Brazil), Early 70s — Condition: New Copy
Moody female vocals from Brazil – a great early 70s album with a dreamy feel and a nice electric touch! In a way, the album's a fair bit like the Ana Mazzotti album from the same period, with a mix of some funky scatting vocal numbers, and other tunes that are more laidback, but which fit very nicely next to the uptempo cuts. Arrangements on some of the best numbers are by Meirelles, with a sweetly groovy electric feel that's similar to some of his own albums from the early 70s. Titles include "Foi Assim", "Como Posso Saber", "Sinal De Solidao", "Teia De Aranha", "Po", "Serrado", "Sonhos", and "Ronda Tristeza". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

GRAND FORKS, N.D. - The University of North Dakota Athletics Department has emerged from its final year of NCAA Division I transition stronger than ever academically.
UND's 377 student-athletes combined to achieve a 3.173 grade point average during the 2011-12 academic year, the highest in UND Athletics history. More than 65 percent (246 of 377) of the student-athletes achieved a 3.0 GPA during the Spring 2012 semester, while more than half (199 of 377) boasted a cumulative 3.0 GPA. An additional 48 student-athletes recorded perfect 4.0 GPAs during Spring 2012, including 13 who own cumulative 4.0 GPAs.
"Our student-athletes and our coaches have once again demonstrated their dedication to academic excellence," said UND Athletics Director Brian Faison. "Given the challenges of Division I transition, particularly those posed by the tremendous travel, this is a great testament to their commitment to putting academics first."
Thirteen of UND's 18 teams, including all 10 women's teams, achieved a 3.0 during the 2011-12 academic year. The top team grade point average belonged to the Great West Conference champion women's basketball team, which recorded a 3.507 GPA. Men's cross country (3.50), women's cross country (3.442), women's track and field (3.404) and women's swimming and diving (3.351) rounded out the top five team GPAs.
UND's 10 women's teams combined for a 3.30 GPA, while the eight men's teams had a combined 3.01 GPA.
The record-setting GPA performance punctuated another tremendous year in the classroom for the Fighting Sioux. Among the other academic highlights in 2011-12:
- UND's women's golf team earned NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) Public Recognition for the second straight year
- UND claimed both the WCHA Male (Brad Eidsness) and Female (Jocelyne Lamoureux) Most Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year awards
- Eidsness received postgraduate scholarships from both the NCAA and the WCHA
- Lamoureux was named the first Academic All-American in the history of UND women's hockey
- Lamoureux, junior football player Emmett Lynch, junior swimmer Veronica Medon, junior hurdler Kirsten Haas and senior distance runner Lindsay Anderson each earned Academic All-District honors
- Medon and her teammates earned Fall 2011 College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCSAA) Scholar All-America Team honors
- Seventy-two Sioux have earned academic all-conference honors, with spring honorees yet to be named
- Senior football player Catlin Solum was named to the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society
In competition, UND earned six Great West Conference and Western Collegiate Hockey Association team championships in 2011-12.

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 16: A subway station attendant sits in a booth of the Kingston-Throop Ave. station, where MTA worker Harry Kaufman was killed November 26, 1995, after being attacked with gasoline and fire in a botched robbery at the token booth in Bedford-Stuyvesant on May 16, 2013 in Brooklyn borough of New York City. While two teenagers were charged in the case, the defense had accused New York Police Detective Louis Scarcella of beating one of the suspects. Following the recent clearing of David Ranta of murder after serving a 23-year prison sentence, the Brooklyn, N.Y. District Attorney is reviewing 50 murder cases investigated by celebrated Detective Louis Scarcella. The review of cases will give special scrutiny to those cases which appear weakest. Scarcella, 61 and now retired, denies ever having used unethical tactics to secure a conviction. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

A judge has ordered that the beard of Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of fatally shooting 13 people at Fort Hood, be forcibly shaved ahead of his upcoming military trial, base spokesman Tyler Broadway said Thursday.
Col. Gregory Gross issued the order, which will likely trigger an appeal that would further delay a case that has dragged on since the 2009 mass shooting.
Hasan's attorney had filed an appeal when Gross threatened to order the shaving, but the appeals court said it wouldn't issue a decision until the shaving was actually ordered. Thursday's order by Gross opens the door for that appeal.
The last time he was in court, Hasan told the judge, "Your honor, in the name of almighty Allah, I am a Muslim. I believe that my religion requires me to wear a beard."
His defense team argued Hasan should be able to keep his beard under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, contending that shaving it would leave him in a "perilous religious state," according to a news release from Fort Hood.
The defense contends Hasan's faith is genuine and has gotten stronger in the past year.
But government prosecutors argued he should have to shave his beard, saying having it long would make it harder for witnesses to identify him as the shooter in court.
They also said that Hasan, by keeping his beard long, is trying to associate himself with radical Islamic fighters known as mujahedeen, the Fort Hood press release said.
In his ruling, Gross determined that Hasan cannot keep the beard because it violates Army regulations. Even as he awaits trial for murder, Hasan is still an officer in the U.S. Army and subject to regulations.
Hasan's court-martial had been scheduled to start last month at Fort Hood, in Killeen, Texas, where he is accused of wounding 32 in addition to killing 13 people.

On Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 9 am, the Rocky Mountain Horse Association will be holding their 24th annual International Horse Show at the Kentucky Horse Park, Covered Arena.
The RMHA's 24th International Horse Show will run until September 15th and culminate with Grand Championship classes in the Saturday evening performance.
Admission to this event will be included with park admission. Several local vendors will be set up around the show ring concourse daily. Events for the whole family are planned throughout the week.
Please join us anytime during the week of September 11-15th for family fun and entertainment at the Kentucky Horse Park to celebrate the Rocky Mountain Horse Association's International Horse Show. More information available on RMHA website: www.rmhorse.com.
In 1986, the Rocky Mountain Horse Association was founded as a non-profit organization in Kentucky. The Association is dedicated to the preservation, promotion and breeding of the Rocky Mountain Horse. Even though the Rocky Mountain Horse as a recognized breed is relatively new, the horses go back more than 70 years to a small farm owned by Sam Tuttle, in Estill County Kentucky. Mr. Tuttle developed these horses which had a natural single foot (4-beat gait) for riding at the Natural Bridge State Park. The name "Rocky Mountain Horse" is derived from the fact that Mr. Tuttle's line of horse is descendant from a stallion originally from the Rocky Mountains. This stallion bred to Kentucky mares and was the beginnings of the Rocky Mountain Horse. There are over 19,000 registered Rocky Mountain Horses in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia, and are also found in several countries throughout Europe.

The second edition of the Alltech National Horse Show in Lexington, KY, is set for October 30 through November 4, 2012. The show will once again be held at the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park.
In addition to world-class show jumping and the country's best and most competitive hunter divisions, the show will also feature one of the nation's longest running and most coveted national championships, the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) Maclay National Championship.
Over the years the ASPCA Maclay Finals have been termed the "proving ground of champions" and the ultimate test for America's young riders. And in the case of this classic test of horsemanship skills, that's certainly more fact than hype.
During last year's ASPCA Maclay Finals, it was 17-year-old Sarah Milliren of Sapulpa, Okla., who took top honors. "It's so exciting, I'm so happy," beamed Milliren after leading the victory gallop. "For the second round I had moved down, so I knew I had to give it my all. I feel so honored to win this prestigious national championship."
"It's the culmination of a long year of competition, it's the final national championship, and with all of the history behind it, it's just a great event to be a part of," said top trainer Missy Clark, who, during the course of her stellar career as one of the nation's very best teachers, has sent nine different ASPCA Maclay National Champions to the ring. "If you look back at the names on the Maclay trophy, you see so many names of riders that have gone on to do great things in their careers. If you can get through the Maclay Finals, you can go on and do anything. If you win that class, you've got the goods; you've got the ingredients to do great things."
"Since its beginning in 1933, the ASPCA Maclay has been the most prestigious and coveted award for junior riders, and the ultimate test of horsemanship and partnership between horse and rider," said Valerie Angeli, senior director of equine and special projects for the ASPCA. "To ride in the Maclay is a huge accomplishment on its own, but-to win a Maclay class is truly exceptional, and to win or place in the championship finals elevates a young rider to celebrity rider status."
The ASPCA Maclay Horsemanship Trophy contains the names of some of America's great riders. Previous winners include United States Equestrian Team superstar William Steinkraus in 1941 and his teammate and long time Chef D'Equipe of the U.S. team, Frank Chapot in 1948. World Cup Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Conrad Homfeld won the championship in 1967 and fellow Olympians Leslie Burr Howard (1972), Peter Wylde (1982) and Katharine Burdsall (1975) all got their start with a victory in the ASPCA Maclay Finals. The ASPCA's own Equine Welfare Ambassador, Brianne Goutal took home the coveted title during the 2005 show season, and Hayley Barnhill, also an ASPCA Equine Welfare Ambassador, won the championship in 2010.
Probably, the most impressive name of all on the trophy is that of the legendary George Morris who led the victory gallop at Madison Square Garden in 1952. And this year, for the ASPCA Maclay National Championship, George Morris, along with California's legendary Hap Hansen will be the judges for this prestigious event. "It's an American heritage, a real tradition in our sport," Morris noted last year. "The purpose of this wonderful discipline of equitation is to encourage good horsemanship. Horsemanship is caring for your horse, whether you have a pony or an Olympic jumper."
"It is important to remember that in this competition, just like in any other, true champions are not only the best at what they do, their hearts are in the right place and they truly care," said Angeli. "The ASPCA Maclay is, and always has been about, not just mastering the finest skills in hunt seat equitation; it is about compassion, consideration and responsibility to the horses. Now more than ever we ask our ASPCA Maclay riders to put the welfare of their horses first and think about the many thousands of horses in this country who are not lucky enough to be properly loved and cared for," she noted. "After all, the ASPCA's history is about more than 145 years of protecting the horses who have served man so well throughout time."
And as Clark points out, the ASPCA Maclay Finals have always been an important stepping stone to future equestrian endeavors and success.
"It's a great developmental area for so many of our riders. If you use it as a tool as you move forward in your career, to perfect your riding, to learn about proper position, proper function, that enables you to go on and do so many other things," Clark went on to say. "I think it's an important event in our American system, and if you look back in history at some of the winners, and even the great riders that maybe didn't win, but competed well, you see that verified time and time again."
"The Alltech National Horse Show made an all-out effort to make sure that Maclay Sunday was an extraordinary day," said Mason Phelps, the President of the National Horse Show Association of America. "We were very happy with last year's event, but we're even more excited for 2012 as we make the small, but necessary changes to make Sunday even more exciting. Once again, we will be pulling out all of the stops to make sure this event is superb at every level."
Phelps also noted, "On Sunday at the Alltech National Horse Show, there is no charge at all for General Admission. So, with that in mind, we encourage everyone to come out the show. We hope, that in lieu of the free admission, that anyone visiting us on Sunday will take some time to stop by the ASPCA booth and find out about this great organization and make a contribution to their worthwhile efforts."
"Maclay Day" at the National has always been a pressure packed day of equestrian excellence.
"Maclay day is simply intense," Clark affirmed. "You've prepared harder, and in a more concentrated manner than you have for any other championship. Just like when you're preparing for the Super Bowl, you train harder, right?" she asked. "You're pretty much up all night in preparation, and then competition day is a full day of just intense concentration, with plenty of highs and some lows too. With the Maclay, there's really nothing like it. It's a year's worth of work all boiled down to one intense day of competition."
This year's highly competitive event, pitting America's top juniors in a head to head battle for horsemanship supremacy, takes place on the final Sunday of the Alltech National Horse Show on November 4th.
No matter the winner, that Sunday in November promises to be a very special day, as it has been every year since the inception in 1933.
"I have a friend who is in her 80's and has lived an amazingly adventurous and rich life, having traveled all around the world and done just about everything," Angeli said. "But when asked, she will tell you that one of her proudest accomplishments was riding in the Maclay at Madison Square Garden and competing against Jacqueline Bouvier (Kennedy) in the 1940's. The Maclay program is framed on her piano as you walk in the door and it states that "the purpose of the ASPCA Maclay competition is to reward young riders, through a serious of tests, for excellence in horsemanship and thoughtfulness to their mounts."

In addition to hosting the ASPCA Alfred B. Maclay Finals, the show will feature a complete schedule of 'AA'-rated hunter divisions, a big money Open Jumper division with a major Grand Prix, and as always, the signature event of the National Horse Show, the ASPCA Alfred B. Maclay Finals.
Founded in 1883 at the original Madison Square Garden, the National Horse Show is America's oldest indoor horse show, firmly established as a major fixture on the national and international sports and social event calendars. The National Horse Show Association's primary activity is the annual production of the National Horse Show and all ancillary events. Over the years, the National Horse Show has provided financial aid to many worthwhile charities.

Horse Park regularly hosts Olympic-caliber athletes
FRANKFORT, Ky. (Aug. 13, 2012) – As the 2012 Olympic Games in London close, Gov. Beshear today recognized the Kentucky Horse Park as an elite international equestrian facility for consistently hosting world-class and Olympic-caliber athletes.
The Horse Park is also a significant economic contributor to the Commonwealth, with an estimated economic impact of approximately $180 million each year.
"The Kentucky Horse Park is the only place in our state—and one of the few places in the world—where visitors can see world-class equestrian competitions on a regular basis," said Gov. Beshear. "We are not only the Horse Capital of the World, but Kentucky is also one of the premier homes for high-level equestrian sports. I encourage Kentuckians and visitors to attend one of the many top-rated shows held at the Kentucky Horse Park and witness elite competition firsthand."
More than 115 athletes who participated in equestrian events in the 2012 Olympics have competed at the Kentucky Horse Park. Seventeen of those athletes earned a medal in the London Olympics.
Athletes frequently travel from Australia, France, Great Britain and many other countries to the Lexington facility to contend for top honors in equestrian sports such as dressage, jumping and eventing.
The Horse Park also hosted the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, which marked the first time the elite competition was held outside of Europe. That event placed Kentucky in the international spotlight and generated more than $200 million in economic impact, and also built on the park's international reputation as a signature event site. The new facilities added to the Horse Park for WEG continue to attract competitors and tourists to Kentucky from across the country and around the world.
"We appreciate the continued support from the Governor and First Lady. We are exceedingly proud of our facility and the competitions that bring in visitors and athletes from around the globe," said John Nicholson, executive director of the Kentucky Horse Park. "The Kentucky Horse Park is clearly one of the leading equestrian competition facilities not just in North America, but anywhere in the world. We expect the tremendous growth of the sport horse industry in Kentucky will accelerate in the years ahead."
The Kentucky Horse Park is a 1,200 acre competition facility and tourist attraction recognized as the epicenter of equestrian life, sports and business. Most notably, the park annually hosts the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event. The event is ranked at four stars, which is the highest level in international competition.
The Horse Park hosts a number of other award-winning shows as well. The Alltech National Horse Show won the National Show Hunter Hall of Fame's Show of the year. They were also named the top U.S. show by the North American Riders Group. North American Junior and Young Rider Championships and the two weeks of Kentucky Spring Hunter Jumper were named among the top 25 events in North America.
This year, the facility will host 21 grand prix jumper classes as well as seven national or international hunter derbies, with more than $1 million offered in prize money.
The Park will host three upper-level dressage events in 2013, including the U.S. Dressage Finals.

Lexington, KY - More than 500 of the very best ponies in the U.S. are in Lexington, Kentucky right now to compete at the 2012 US Pony Finals. Starting Tuesday they will be ridden into competition at the Kentucky Horse Park by youth riders from around the country.
Over the next six days riders will take aim at the US Hunter Pony Championships presented by Sallee Horse Vans in Small, Medium, and Large Regular Hunter and Green Hunter sections and at an overall Regular and Green Hunter championship. Starting Wednesday and continuing through Friday pony jumpers will go after Team and Individual jumping championships. On Sunday, August 12th the week will end with the awarding of the Equisport Insurance/US Pony Medal Championship.
The full 2012 U.S. Pony Finals schedule is available here.
Though a National Pony Championship has been held in the U.S. since 1967 the popular and cherished Pony Medal has only been awarded since 1984. Since then the equitation competition that determines the medal winner has been a highlight of the week. Riders qualify by earning a blue ribbon or by earning 30 points in any U.S. Pony Medal Qualifying class. During the championship they will be judged head-to-head over a demanding course of fences.
2012 is the 11th year that the National Pony Jumper Championships are being held as part of the US Pony Finals. To qualify rider/pony combinations need to be one of their zone's top four. Zone 7 won last year's team championship and last year's individual winner Julia Curtis is back with her winning mount, The Waterboy.
The Hunter Pony competitions are held in three phases in which a pony's conformation, movement under saddle, and jumping ability are judged. The first Hunter Pony classes begin Tuesday in the Walnut Ring at the Kentucky Horse Park.
USEF Network will post results and videos from the US Pony Finals daily at http://usefnetwork.com/featured/2012USEFPonyFinals/

School safety top of mind for state leaders: Attorney general calls out districts failing to meet safety requirements
By Chris Beattie, email@example.com
In light of the Newtown, Conn. tragedy, schools nationwide are double-checking their security parameters. Some in Texas, according to the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC), should have done so before the shooting.
The TxSSC, a central location for safety and security pertaining to all independent school districts and junior college districts in Texas, reports that 38 of the 1,025 public school districts required by law to submit safety audits have not done so, and that another 40 reported but did not meet full compliance.
�Proper preparedness and safety in our schools is not just an exercise; it will save lives when seconds count,� said Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a TxSSC board member, in a release Monday. �While we are saddened by the tragedy in Newtown, we can�t let another second tick by without getting school districts prepared to encounter the same type of situation in our state. My office will continue working with the Texas School Safety Center to ensure that every school district across this state has an effective school safety plan in place.�
As the state�s chief law enforcement official, Abbott says he remains fully committed to ensuring students are protected. Such assurance, he says, comes from preparation encouraged by TxSSC and consistent campus security evaluations.
�Having a plan is important, but executing that plan under stress � when seconds count � is critical to saving lives,� he stated in the release. �Texas schoolchildren must be safe and secure. The difference between life and death frequently hinges upon how educators and law enforcement respond in the seconds before and after a violent incident. Campus security audits provide crucial information about the proper response during disaster situations.�
McKinney ISD also released a statement in reaction to the Dec. 14 events at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, insisting the children�s safety and security are top priorities and emphasizing that it works in close partnership with the McKinney police and fire departments in developing security plans and preventive measures.
�Anytime a situation like this happens, you always reevaluate your response plans and security measures at each campus,� said Cody Cunningham, MISD chief communications officer. �But it�s something we work on, on a continuous basis. We�ve had ongoing meetings with the police and fire departments every month for the last several years, and we have safety audits throughout the school year.�
Campus safety measures include building-access security, controlled visitor access and identification requirements, staff and student lockdown drills each semester, district and local law enforcement agency response plans. Such measures are under constant review, MISD officials said.
In its statement, released Friday evening after the Newtown shooting, MISD officials stated that the school district performs �extensive security audits at each campus� and that the �campuses and district employ a comprehensive crisis response plan�to provide an inviting school atmosphere, while at the same time maintain the highest security possible.�
Greg Hill, currently the school district�s security director, visits campuses to make sure their enforcing proper security measures, including those related to locking systems, the facility and even lighting, Cunningham said.
Additional measures such as metal detectors and increased police presence at schools are sometimes up for discussion after events like Friday�s, but they�re not likely to be implemented in many Texas public schools given statewide budget cuts to education.
�Most districts have determined that metal detectors are ineffective; it wouldn�t have prevented what happened at Sandy Hook,� Cunningham said. �Of course if we had unlimited resources, we�d want to employ all of those things, but we don�t.�
McKinney ISD shares with the city the cost of providing on-campus school resource officers, funding half of the positions. Until recent cutbacks in the city budget, there was an officer at each of the five middle schools and at each high school. The McKinney Police Department chose to put the middle school officers back on patrol, thus leaving two officers at McKinney Boyd and one each at McKinney North and McKinney High School.
After this week�s reevaluation of campus policies and procedures, Cunningham said, the MPD has decided it will again assign five additional officers to serve each middle school beginning next month.
But, like the TxSSC which was created in the aftermath of the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, MISD and other school districts will also focus on other, more personal ways to reduce youth violence and promote school safety.
�We�re still looking at other things to try to make our schools safer; it�s always a work in progress,� Cunningham said. �We continue educating students and promoting the idea of reporting rumors and suspicious behaviors, things of that nature. Students can be our biggest assets in preventing these kinds of tragedies.�

He was almost defeated, but he eventually destroyed the Animator with the help of another creation, "The Dark Lord". He now wanders the Land of Stick, searching for the meaning of his existence.
