As stunning fall colors settle into the leaves of Saratoga County, beer lovers gather at the Malta Drive-In to celebrate the changing of the season with 27 different German and seasonal fall craft beers. Traditional German food complements a wide selection of American seasonal favorites, such as the Fall Summit ale from Peak Organic Brewing Company and the traditional Oktoberfest beer produced yearly by the Spaten brewery. The organizers endeavor to entertain more than taste buds, arranging live musical performances throughout the day from German accordion player Herb Liebenhagen, Saratoga favorite Headband Jack, and the Bluz House Rockers. Visitors also partake in games and contests such as Best Brat Costume or Who Smells the Most Like Cabbage.
There's a fire in the field and only one way out. Unfortunately, that way is twisted and riddled with dead-ends. But at the end, past 5 acres of carved paths and corn-themed puzzles, past thousands of stalks of corn swaying in the wind, past delirious visions of poker-playing scarecrows, is a fire hose. Such is the theme of Ellms Family Farm's interactive Hero Rush Amazing Maize maze, an obstacle that carries on pastoral autumn traditions with roughly 90 minutes of music and fun. Yet this maze is just one way that the Ellms family celebrates the changing season—it also serves up crispy apple-cider donuts, lobs wee ones into the air on the farm-favorite Jumping Pillow, and treats guests to a number of other themed activities it has developed over the years.
The farm's history stretches back to 1984, when Chip and Sally Ellms planted their first batch of Christmas trees and began inviting visitors to stop by and admire the easy wind and downy flakes of winter. As the family grew, the farm kept pace, expanding to cover more than 200 acres and incorporate activities that help guests celebrate autumn as well. Throughout the harvest season, guests flock to the fields to play conductor or coal shoveler on the MooMooChooChoo train or pick out fresh pumpkins in the patch.
After navigating the puffed-up tubes and passageways of Bounce Around Indoor Family Fun Center's inflatable bounce houses, kids may never look at air the same way again. The stuff they breathe each day takes on new and exciting possibilities as they zip down huge, colorful slides and crawl through obstacle courses that emphasize fun over function. The play areas abound with whimsical decorations, from a barnyard filled with bouncy wooden barrels to a giant shark that scours the facility in search of tasty pufferfish. Not far from the bounce houses, arcade games subsist on their own diet of golden tokens, and tuckered-out kids replenish their energy with pizza, chicken wings, and soda from the concession stand.
Framed by the distant peaks of the Helderberg Mountains, Western Turnpike Golf Course's 27-hole layout blankets 250 acres of scenic terrain stitched by pine trees. Though the three nines connect to form three distinct 18-hole courses, the presence of multiple ponds, streams, and small, well-fortified greens act as a unifying feature across the entire grassy labyrinth. The horticultural haven is also peppered by a relatively sparse population of 37 sand bunkers, their scarcity due to the abundance of water hazards and previous issues with disoriented sunbathers. With three courses offering various levels of difficulty and five tee options on each course, Western Turnpike presents a sound golf challenge for bona fide aces, mid-handicappers, and those trying to play with a croquet mallet.
At Fort Ballocity, TreePaad Fun Center's centerpiece adventure, kids and adults fire soft balls at targets, load them into buckets, and disappear beneath a foam-ball shower. Within the same three-story structure, 30 feet of waterless slides send visitors racing through more colorful twists and turns than an Alfred Hitchcock comic strip. However, Fort Ballocity is only one of TreePaad's indoor attractions. Neon lights paint a laser-tag arena, rock-climbing walls stretch to the ceiling, and a video arcade creates an orchestra of electronic beeps. Kids younger than 4 can join the fun in the toddler play area, filled with soft surfaces on which to climb and slide.
This sprawling fun haven can set the stage for parties, office outings, or simply spontaneous visits. For kids' birthdays, an on-staff party coach organizes each moment of the festivities, from serving food to helping kids create stuffed animals at the Stuff-n-Fluff area.
On a given afternoon, Tiny Tots Tea Room buzzes with excitement while kids swoop down slides or tame a roller coaster designed for pint-sized thrills. Inside the playground and cafe, children ages nine months to six years old gleefully frolic amid one another while indulging in open play sessions held six days a week. The space features fun for both kids and adults, who unwind in Tiny Tots cafe while sipping signature drinks, such as espresso drinks or Tiny Tots tea, and noshing on snacks including wraps, housemade desserts, and plenty of gluten-, dairy-, and peanut-free dishes. In addition to promoting open play sessions, the space hosts birthday events with all-inclusive theme parties such as Princess, Rock-star Diva, Ohh La La Spa, and Playroom Parties on the weekends.

Violations En Vogue? Labor and Employment Laws Concerning Fashion Models and Interns
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
- Location - THIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUTProgram 5:30 - 8:30p.m.The event will address labor and employment law issues as they relate to fashion models and fashion design interns. Intern Panel The use of
unpaid interns is widespread in the fashion industry, as well as many
other industries. The U.S. Department of Labor has a set of
criteria that employers must meet for an internship to be legal.
Some argue that internships routinely fail to meet this criteria.
A number of lawsuits have been filed on behalf of interns. This
panel will discuss the use of unpaid interns, with particular emphasis
on its use in the fashion industry. It will explore ways in which
employers can ensure they are adhering to state and federal guidelines
governing the use of unpaid interns. Because models are typically considered independent
contractors (as opposed to employees), they do not benefit from the
protection afforded U.S. employees. Some argue that this leads to
poor working conditions that would be illegal in the traditional
workplace such as unpaid wages, sexual harassment and violations of
child labor laws. The panel will explore these issues and discuss
ways they can be addressed. This program is sponsored by the Fashion Law Committee of the Entertainment Arts & Sports Law Section of the New York State Bar Association. This year the Section celebrates its 25 Year Anniversary find out more about the celebration www.nysba.org/EASL25Anniversary The Section would like to thank the
following companies for Their Sponsorship: Under New York's MCLE rule, this program is approved for a total of 2.0 credit hours in Professional Practice. This program is transitional and will qualify for credit for newly-admitted attorneys. Program Fees:

Federal prosecutors could use the threat of a long sentence to pressure Mathew Martoma, who faces insider trading charges, to try to reel in his former boss, Steve Cohen of SAC Capital.
If convicted of insider trading, hedge fund manager Martoma could face up to 45 years in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. He could get up to five years for one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and an additional 20 years for each of the two counts of securities fraud.
Realistically, he probably won't get 45 years even if convicted, according to former federal prosecutor Richard Scheff, a lawyer with the firm Montgomery McCracken. Scheff said the sentence would be more like 10 to 15 years.
But even that would weigh heavily on a married 38-year-old man with three children. The possibility of a long sentence could give the feds ammunition in convincing Martoma to provide damaging testimony about Cohen, if such evidence exists.
"It is very common to build a prosecution case, including insider trading cases, by following the evidence, witness by witness, wherever it leads, and that trail can frequently be from employee to principal," said William M. Sullivan Jr., a former federal prosecutor and a partner at the firm Pillsbury Law.
Cohen has not been charged, but the feds have been circling his firm for years, and charged some of his colleagues with insider trading. Some of them pleaded guilty, while others became cooperating witnesses.
"This notion of squeezing Martoma to get to Cohen is standard operating procedure in this type of case," said Scheff. "It always has been more common in Mafia and drug dealing type of cases, but it is now standard operating procedure in white collar cases. Most people don't want to take the risk and face a significant jail sentence."
But Martoma's lawyer, Charles Stillman of the firm Stillman, Friedman & Shechtman, said that his client is "not cooperating."
A spokeswoman for SAC Capital, where Martoma worked until his termination in 2009, declined to comment.
Martoma was charged on Nov. 20 with selling and shorting shares of the drug companies Elan and Pfizer's Wyeth from 2006 to 2008, based on allegedly inside information. The scheme benefited Martoma's hedge fund by $276 million, according to court documents.

This story was originally posted on Students For Liberty's blog.
In "Atlas Shrugged," Ayn Rand forewarned that the ever-growing mindset placing society over the individual is destructive to economic creativity. Hank Rearden, one of Rand's central characters, is a self-made entrepreneur. He invents Rearden Metal, which is an alloy stronger, lighter, and cheaper than steel. Turns out, Rand's fiction was quite similar to reality. Gary Cola, a real-life Hank Rearden, is an amateur metallurgist and entrepreneur. Cola has developed a new form of steel called Bainite Steel. Like Rearden Metal, Bainite Steel has the potential to revolutionize the world; although this time, it's not fiction.
What's so Rearden about Bainite Steel?
Bainite Steel is purportedly 7 percent stronger than regular steel. In fact, its strength-to-weight ratio is higher than titanium (of the 6Al-4V variety). Bainite requires only 56% the volume of this form of titanium to maintain the same strength. Also, the process to create Bainite Steel is much cheaper and faster. Typically, regular steel sheets are heat-treated at around 900 degrees Celsius – a process that can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Cola's entire process, on the other hand, uses rollers that carry the sheets through flames as hot as 1,100 degrees Celsius and then sends the sheets through a cooling liquid bath. The entire process takes less than 10 seconds and gives Bainite Steel its characteristic strength and ductile qualities. Given that Bainite's strength-by-volume is much higher – and its production costs much lower – the metal is useful for a large array of applications.
Many speculators are already pondering the applications and uses of the metal. Continue reading

The county is moving toward participation in a state program that will see full reimbursements for all local animal spay and neuter procedures, ultimately offering them at an extremely minimal cost to eligible pet owners.
The N.C. Spay/Neuter Program focuses on reducing the population of unwanted animals in the state by encouraging the spaying and neutering of dogs and cats. Under the program, cities and counties are eligible to apply for reimbursement of direct costs of spay and neuter procedures of cats and dogs owned by low-income persons.
Implementing such a program has received a great deal of discussion in recent months. Animal shelter director Alan Canady spoke to the issue earlier this month — and the Sampson Board of Commissioners gave its unanimous go-ahead.
During the first quarter of 2012, 22 North Carolina counties participated in the state's program, receiving reimbursements of $137,212.25 for a total of 2,477 operations.
"That is actually pretty good," Canady said.
He noted that the state has generous guidelines defining who is eligible for the low cost option. The guidelines for 2013, at 300 percent below poverty level, would allow for the majority of Sampson County residents to qualify for free spay/neuter services.
"If I'm a single person and I make less than $33,510, I qualify for this program," said Canady. "For a household of four, as long as you make a combined income of less than $69,150, you can get your pet spayed or neutered at a lower cost."
Residents interested in having their animal spayed or neutered would have to produce proof of income to be eligible for the program. A voucher would then be written for one of the local participating veterinarians. Those vets would have to produce itemized fees on a form to be turned in to the state, reflecting the actual costs of the spay/neuter process.
The county then pays the veterinarian after the invoice is submitted to the county.
"The county would have to approve up-front money to cover the initial cost for the program to start," said Canady. "Money would be reimbursed after each quarter. If the county spends $10,000, after the first quarter, the state would turn around and reimburse us that $10,000 as long as it meets the requirements set forth."
Quarterly, the county submits necessary paperwork to the N.C. Spay/Neuter Program for reimbursement. In most cases, the state reimburses the county 100 percent of the costs within 30-60 days of that submission.
"Every county I've talked to that has participated in this has never had a problem getting the money reimbursed," said Canady. "Yes, it would take some up-front money to get this started, but in all actuality it would actually pay for itself."
The Sampson County Animal Shelter would be responsible for accounting and issuing vouchers, but local rescue organizations, notably Sampson County Friends for Animals, would shoulder the responsibility for verifying income and submitting copies of that paperwork weekly.
Friends for Animals members Judy Shepherd and Lindsay Peterson spoke to the grant program at December's City Council meeting, singing the praises of a program they said would extend spay and neuter procedures at a lower cost. The city researched the matter and subsequently handed it off to the county, which has generally discussed the matter since last year.
Shepherd, immediate past president and current secretary for Sampson County Friends for Animals Inc., said it was vital, and one of the organization's goals, to provide low-cost spay and neuter procedures. She also previously noted the 300 percent below poverty level guideline. "When we did a little bit of calculation," Shepherd has said, "it ends up being that about 90 percent of Sampson County qualify."
There is a spay and neuter voucher program currently in place in Sampson, in which the cost for the procedure is included with the overall adoption fee. The cost is $40 for cats ($10 adoption fee, $30 spay and neuter fee); $80 for male dogs ($25 adoption fee, $55 for neutering); and $105 for female dogs ($25 adoption fee, $80 for spaying).
Under the new program, those eligible can get low-cost spay and neuter procedures done for pets regardless of whether they were adopted from the local shelter or not.
Canady said he would be making a strict schedule for Friends for Animals representatives to follow, only allowing paperwork to be submitted, and vouchers issued, on a certain day of the week. He said the impact of the program would be felt soon after being implemented. He said a March timeline was the goal.
"The impact of establishing this program would affect change in Sampson County almost immediately," Canady said.
One female cat and her offspring can produce 400,000 cats in just seven years. One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in just six years. Not only would the program help tame the growing animal population locally, it would also reduce costs across the board.
"Over time, this will reduce costs to Sampson County by way of shelter staff, Animal Control staff, medical care, euthanasia and other costs associated with the pet overpopulation problem in Sampson County," Canady said. "This program will go a long way in eradicating the nickname of 'the killing place' for Sampson County Animal Shelter. Now is the time to put this program into place while there is so much interest in the public assisting SCAS in making a difference in our community and our local animal population."
Peterson has said that two local veterinarians are already on board, with participation open to others.
Finance officer David Clack said the spay/neuter procedures will not just be low cost, they will essentially be free of charge to those that qualify, allowing that all program rules and regulations are adhered to by all parties: veterinarians, Friends for Animals, county staff and everyone else included.
"The state will pay it as opposed to the person paying it," said Clack. "If I come in, whether I adopt an animal or not, and just wanted my animal spayed — I don't have to adopt the animal from (the shelter) — I just have to show I qualify. If I qualified for this program, I wouldn't have to pay."
As far as the county is concerned, there also is not a budget impact.
"It's not a budgetary cost to get started," Clack said. "It's basically a cash advance. We get the money back. If we get quarterly reimbursements, it's however many spays and neuters we do in that quarter."
County manager Ed Causey said the only downside would be expending shelter staff time with paperwork. That is where the Friends for Animals staff comes in. He recommended a partnership with the non-profit group, whose personnel would be trained in regard to collecting and submitting paperwork, likely with a designated person to handle certain duties.
"We have a reluctance to let anybody else be responsible for things that we ultimately could be liable for on a monetary basis, so we're going to have to have a hand in it in some fashion," Causey said. "The majority of these animals would never be coming through the shelter. This is good public relations and helps the county."
The county board authorized county staff to move forward with participating in the N.C. Spay/Neuter Program, approving a cash advance of $10,000 and directing the county attorney to draft a contract between the county and Friends for Animals for their services.
Commissioner Albert Kirby called the situation a "win-win." Assistant county manager Susan Holder agreed.
"The more animals throughout the whole county that we can spay and neuter," said Holder, "the fewer animals that will come into our shelter."

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in the case of Xavier Alvarez who was charged with a violation of the Stolen Valor Act for his fraudulent public claim of having received the Medal of Honor. The case reached the high court on appeal from the 9th circuit which held that the act, which outlaws fraudulent claims of having received military awards or honors, was an unconstitutional abridgment of free speech. The government appealed that decision and was joined by The American Legion and others in asking the court to uphold the constitutionality of the act.
Alvarez has never served a day in the military. However, after being elected to a local water board in California, he made the claim that he was a Medal of Honor recipient. While even his own defense attorney noted that Alvarez was an inveterate liar, Alvarez was nonetheless supported by various free-speech advocates who felt that the statute was too broad.
Although it is dangerous to read much into the questions posed by the justices during this hearing, most questions fell into two camps: 1. What is the nature of the harm, if any, caused by fraudulent claims of military heroism? 2. Would upholding the statute have a chilling effect on other forms of speech, such as claims made in political campaigns.
Justice Stephen Breyer, in particular, seemed unwilling to accept the argument that no harm occurs from these lies. "My theory is that it does hurt the medal, the purpose, the objective, the honor, for people falsely to go around saying that they have this medal when they don't."
Justice Antonin Scalia, another First Amendment stalwart, noted that perhaps deference should be made to the Congress. "When Congress passed this legislation, I assume it did so because it thought that the value of the awards that these courageous members of the armed forces were receiving was being demeaned and diminished."
On the question of whether upholding the act would chill other protected speech, the public defender for Alvarez, Jonathan Libby, seemed to concede that no such chilling effect would take place. When asked by Justice Elena Kagan what truthful speech would be chilled by upholding the act, Libby said, "It's not that it may necessarily chill any truthful speech. I mean, it's — we certainly concede that one typically knows whether or not one has won a medal or not. We certainly — we concede that point."
Justice Kagan responded with surprise, noting "That's a big concession, Mr. Libby."
It may be months before the high court rules on the case.
If the Supreme allows individuals to lie about their military service why is against the Law to say "i'm a cop". If I can lie about my military service, which I won't, I joined in 1953 during the Korean conflict and served 23 years, 1 month, and 18 days, retiring in 1976, having served 2 tours in Viet Nam, then why could I not say I am the Commander in Chief and get away with it. The Supreme court listens to the minority and sets rules that the majority must abide by. 14 % are for removing God from what we do, but the 86% that believe that HE should stay must now bow down to the minority due to the misguide Supreme Court.
If the Supreme Court says it is permissible to use stolen valor, then let's all claim to be on the payroll of the Supreme Court Justices who allowed such hogwash - and do it publicly, citing their own ruling!
As a veteran, it is an abomination the the service persenell that served our Country with honor. for those that did not, they can go to hell for claiming something that is not true.
What a disgrace to the human race
Maybe the Stolen Valor act should raise the charge of Fraud. Wearing a decoration that is not earned is an act of Fraud. That is a charge lawyers understand. GBA!
As a combat veteran the notion of anyone even so much as saying they have earned, or achieved something they have not I personally find disturbing. I as well as many of my combat veteran buddies have heard all of the lies from fake vets, or peacetime vets that try to impress the ladies by telling stories that are known lies. I guess the deserved recognition for actual combat veterans that have served in theatre are not deserving of the honors they have been given. According to them anyone can just buy the awards in a store, online and put it on their chest and do as they please. We are the ones that sacrificed everything to go to war for the love of this great nation and would gladly do it again if asked. They really need to look at this issue more in depth. Me personally this boils my blood to hear that some are willing to cover this under the first amendment!!!
I have never served in the military but my father did and my grandson is now. My uncle made a carear out of the military. I am apalled that anyone would even consider saying they had served never mind having been awarded a medal. I agree that the minority gets the decision of what happens in this country. Why should the majority of us have to abide by things that the minority thinks is right? I thank all the men and women who have served this country in the past and are serving now. What you do is greatly appreciated. If it wasn't for you, the citizens of this country wouldn't have the freedoms that we do. Thank you again for your service to this country.
As a disabled vet, I find it hard to believe that this guy has the right to commit fraud and not have any jail time. He was never in the service and put his life on the line for the rights of our great nation. Then the Supreme Court will take it's time to deliver a verdict. They should be ashamed to called to advise on this matter. Throw the bum in jail and send him with the hard labor people. OH! I FORGOT, HE HAS RIGHTS. THE RIGHTS THAT ALL OUR FELLOW VETS GAVE HIM. Don't we have any say in this matter? Proud to be a Viet Nam era disabled vet!
a few years ago the small town in which i live was fortunate enough to host the traveling vietnam memorial wall. during the week it was there a local indivudal whom had his legs removed from complications with diabeties spent his days around the wall telling people and the local media he had lost his legs while in combat while he was in vietnam. his motivation was monatery. as the weekend approached it was planned saturday several american legion riders from around the state had planned a morning ride ending at the memorial for the main ceremony at noon. on that friday one of the true vietnam veterans that played a major role in organizing the event approached the indivudual, gave him one hundred dollars and advised him of the incoming folks that may not appriecate his false claim. grass roots. problem solved
The case reached the high court on appeal from the 9th circuit which held that the act, which outlaws fraudulent claims of having received military awards or honors, was an unconstitutional abridgment of free speech.
Show me where it says it is ok to make fraudulent claims and lie in the constitution?
Thou Shalt Not Lie. I hope they uphold it and nail this chicken*#@*lier, and give him some time to sit and think about it.
I do, in fact, believe in the First Amendment and hold it sacred to the American way of life. But this is not Freedom Of Speech. This is a lie. A blatant misrepresentation of the truth. And it is wrong. Totally and completely wrong. It is deceiving and malicious. And only serves to give someone without galantry that galantry they crave. Let them go out and earn it. Like the real, true and honest heroes did. If you protect a liar so that they may tell these lies. You have not protected free speech. Screw the two-bit, sissy punk liars and their lies. And if the Supreme Court can't see the difference between Free Speech and the lies that these people tell, then perhaps the Supreeme Court needs to re-evaluate itself.
I can not believe the Supreme Court is even considering this case. Lies and Fraudulent actions have nothing to do with the first ammendment. Take this clown to Disney Land and let Goofy whack him around a little. Duhh! THIS is as insulting and lame as it gets.

Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton (180 gram mono version)
LP (Item 579905) Deram/Sundazed, 1966 — Condition: New Copy
Possibly one of the best-remembered albums by John Mayall's legendary Blues Breakers combo – thanks to vocals and guitar from a young Eric Clapton! Clapton at this point is way fresher than in later years – not prone to cliches, and still coming across with a raw, edgey power that is drenched in American blues tradition. Mayall's great too – wailing on harmonica, organ, and piano – and other members of the core group include John McVie on bass and Hughie Flint on drums – augmented by contributions from UK jazzers John Almond on baritone sax and Alan Skidmore on tenor. Titles include "All Your Love", "Little Girl", "Key To Love", "Parchman Farm", "Have You Heard", "It Ain't Right", and "Steppin Out". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Mator Dal or Yellow Split Peas when cooked with vegetables like sweet red radish, yellow pumpkin and baby potatoes takes on a whole new avtaar. This recipe is from a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed this heart warming dal
Mator Dal with Sabji/Split YellowPeas with Vegetables
Wash and cook 1 & 1/4 cup of Yellow Split Peas in the pressure cooker with a little turmeric. You can also cook in a pot, only it will take some time.
In microwave cook 1/2 cup of chopped red radish, 1/2 cup of cubed pumpkin, 1/2 cup of tender-green cauliflower stalks. The stalks are optional, I did because I had some and my friend suggested I put them
In a deep bottomed pan heat 3 tsp of Oil + 1/2 tsp of Ghee
Temper with 1 tsp of Whole Cumin Seeds/Jeera, 2 cracked Dry Red Chilli and 10-12 methi seeds
When the spices splutter add the veggies and 3-4 slit green chillies
Fry for 3-4 minutes till you get a nice aroma of the veggies
Add the cooked Dal and mix well
Add salt and add water to get the desired consistency. Let the dal come to a boil
Just before taking off the heat add a little ghee. I did not add any this week but a little boosts the flavor
Garnish with lots of chopped coriander leaves

Men who were diagnosed with ADHD in childhood are twice as likely to be obese adults as men who did not have an ADHD diagnosis, according to a study from the Child Study Center at New York University's Langone Medical Center. Researchers believe that the lack of impulse control and poor planning skills –common symptoms of ADHD – may be key factors leading to higher BMI and obesity rates.
While many sunscreens claim to offer protection from UV rays, only one out of four of these products actually delivers on these promises. In a new Environmental Working Group analysis of more than 1,400 sunscreens, lotions, lip products and makeups that claim to have UV protection, researchers found that relatively few provided strong and broad protection from the sun.
The heart-healthy benefits of the Mediterranean diet – rich in fruits, nuts, vegetables, seafood, pasta, olive oil and red wine – have already been documented. Now, researchers from the University of Navarra (Spain) say that this type of diet could also be beneficial for your brain, particularly as you age.
THE DAYIf you're going through hell, keep going.
—Winston Churchill
According to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in five American children suffers from a mental disorder. This number has been rising over the past decade. Males are more likely to have ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, Tourette syndrome, cigarette dependence, behavioral or conduct problems, and anxiety. Girls are more likely to have depression or an alcohol misuse disorder.
Yuck! Public swimming pools apparently are a breeding ground for bacteria, according to new research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The federal agency found that E. coli bacteria, associated with feces, were found in 58 percent of public pool samples.
Dental health takes a big leap forward when a Connecticut dentist named Washington Sheffield comes up with the idea of putting toothpaste in a collapsible metal tube. While daily tooth brushing was not common—particularly in the U.S.—those who did often shared a jar of toothpaste into which family members all dipped their brushes. Sheffield had always thought this was both wasteful and unhygienic and had followed up on a suggestion from his son, who, while studying in Paris, had watched artists squeezing paint from tubes.

State Partnership Grant Program DescriptionBy supporting the state arts agencies (SAAs) through Partnership Agreements, the National Endowment for the Arts makes the arts available in more communities than it could through direct grants. The SAAs greatly extend the federal reach and impact, translating national leadership into local benefit. Most of the fifty state and six jurisdictional arts agencies were created in response to the national example and financial incentive provided by the Arts Endowment. For more than 45 years the Arts Endowment's support for SAAs has helped to attract state funding that on a nationwide basis far exceeds the federal support. State government support is vital to the arts in America. At the core of this federal-state partnership is the planning process that each SAA engages in to identify and examine state priorities. Planning is inclusive and responsive, reflecting the goals and activities determined to be most important to that state. While providing leadership for their states, the SAAs also work cooperatively with the Arts Endowment to achieve common goals and outcomes. With the Arts Endowment's grant making organized around the outcomes below, Partnership Agreement funding enables the SAAs to address priorities identified at the state level as well as the NEA outcomes:
To support elements of a state arts plan that provide Americans of all ages with arts learning opportunities across a diverse spectrum of artistic disciplines and geographic locations. These activities should focus on the acquisition of knowledge or skills in the arts, thereby building public capacity for lifelong participation in the arts. The NEA anticipates that the SAAs will be able to address this outcome through: Deadline DatesAll applicants must submit their applications electronically through Grants.gov, the federal government's online application system. The Grants.gov system must receive your validated and accepted application no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 1, 2012. The Grants.gov Contact Center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Awards will support activities that are scheduled to begin on July 1, 2013, or any time thereafter. Award InformationPartnership Award AmountsFunds will be allotted in accordance with the NEA's legislative mandate, and based on the strength of plans and accomplishments in relation to the review criteria. Funds for activities that strengthen state support of the folk & traditional arts are awarded competitively and generally range from $20,000 to $45,000. Matching RequirementAll awards must be matched at least 1 to 1.

Using your mobile phone as a wireless modem
Bluetooth with GPRS
If your mobile phone contract includes GPRS mobile Internet service,
you can use a Bluetooth phone as a wireless modem for your Linux
portable computer.
If you remember the days when com-
puters connected to the Internet
through telephone lines, you might
be wondering whether it is possible to
use an Internet-enabled cellphone or
PDA as a wireless Internet connection
for a roaming laptop computer. This arti-
cle describes a technique for connecting
a Linux portable computer to the Inter-
net through a Bluetooth connection to a
mobile phone. Of course, this procedure requires a mobile phone service plan
that comes with some form of Internet
The example configuration described
in this article assumes Internet access
through General Packet Radio Service
(GPRS), a mobile networking architec-
ture supported by many wireless provid-
ers. A similar approach may also work
for other service types. If your service
plan provides Internet access through
an alternative method, consult your
provider for details and adapt the proce-
dures described in this article for your
own environment.

2013 America's Cup
Sail-World.com : O'Pen World Cup - A great 4 days on the Bay
O'Pen World Cup - A great 4 days on the Bay
'2012 O'Pen Bic World Cup Championship'
Tamme Flood
The official end of the O'Pen Bic World Cup Championship in Miami contained some surprises and a lot of smiles! It was a great four days on the Bay, and many new international friendships were formed. There were some lovely moments...at the end of the last race, the entire spectator boat cheered for each one of the last four sailors crossing the finish line - in addition to the sailors from their home countries. Wonderful!
There were the teams that came from halfway around the world, the mom who drove for seven days to deliver her daughter's boat, and the 44 year old mom who sailed in the O'Pen Bic open alongside her daughter! We were sad for the sailor from Bermuda who broke his foot on the first day - playing football! It was amazing to have such good camaraderie among competitors - and good manners all around.
2012 O'Pen Bic World Cup Championship -

A huge thank you to all of the volunteers, parents, sponsors and organizers who made this event such an international success. Much of the work happened behind the scenes before the 2012 World Open Bic races even began. It was truly amazing to watch everyone involved work so hard so that these sailors could do what they love to do - Sail! Thanks again...
Bon Voyage to all of our international visitors...see you in Italy!
