Oh summer, how I miss you! Especially after going through these pictures from a session on a beautiful warm sunny beach in California this summer. It seems like a really really long time ago that we were there, and I am thinking this family is thinking the same thing as they very patiently waited for me to edit these images! My family members always end up near the bottom of my editing list (I mean, they do make it before MY pictures, if that's any consolation!) so I am very thankful for their patience and the occasional nudge .
This year was a special (coughFORTIETHcough) birthday for my brother-in-law Bart (or as the singer at Disneyland who serenaded him for his birthday called him: Big Bad Buffalo Bart) and they celebrated with a family trip to the Grand Canyon and California! My sister-in-law Colleen asked us if we wanted to surprise Bart for a portion of the trip. So we decided to head south for an adventure of our own (if I ever get around to editing my images from this trip I will share here!) and we managed to see the Oregon coast and dunes, San Francisco, Yosemite, San Diego and Disneyland into an amazing 3.5 week trip. Definitely one that we will remember for a lifetime. The highlight of the trip was meeting up with this family in Anaheim and spending a few days visiting Disneyland/California Adventure, hitting the pool at the RV park, and a trip to Crystal Cove Beach. As far as the surprise aspect, we almost pulled it off. That is, until the staff member at the RV park spilled the beans when Bart & Colleen checked in 15 minutes before we did! Fortunately it didn't ruin the surprise, and we were glad that Bart was pretty thrilled to have us there to celebrate his special day!
During our trip to the beach we did a very quick family session….so glad I was able to capture some totally different images from our typical cold/fall/Calgary pictures that we do every year. Thanks for being in front of my family again, it's a treat every year to capture your beautiful family. I hope these pictures bring back memories from a wonderful trip, and help warm you up in your current winter wonderland.
Such a gorgeous beach, and beautiful light. Add in a gorgeous family and it is truly a photographer's dream!
Oh what I would give to live here…a girl can dream, right?
Love this family! I have loved seeing these kids grow up, so thrilled that even though we live far apart we have such a great connection!
I love that Bart is comfortable enough to pull out a bit of the crazies for my camera. He knows I will post them too!
Love that his kids aren't shy in front of my camera either!
Thanks for your patience guys! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek

Poland wins battle against Australia over top sport in Pool F
There was lots of support for both teams on court number two and they got to see high level beach volleyball with great digs, long rallies and multiple match points on each side. After Artacho and Ngauamo took the first set, the teams were close in the second with Australia getting their first match point at 20-19 and two more at 21-20 and 23-22.
Too save
It looked like Artacho and Ngauamo were too nervous to finish the game. "Yes, maybe it looked like we were playing too save", Artacho said. "We just could not get the set at the net, it was too far to get a good finish."
The Polish team took the second set at their second set point and started the tiebreak with a service ace. Again Australia had the opportunity to take the match at 16-15, but it was the Polish who finished it with a strong serve that bounced off Artacho's arms.
"I think we allowed them to much at the net so they could chip around us. We should have put more pressure on them", Artacho said. "Now we will just have to play three matches tomorrow." Kociolek and Gruszscynska earned a bye in the first round as pool winners.
A lottery
"This match was like a lottery", Kociolek said after the match. "It was a difficult match, they played really well. We made a lot of mistakes in the first set. That was not a good score. After that we had no choice. We just had to play and only winning was an option."
Eighteen-year old Kociolek, who won the Youth World Championships in 2011 with Baran, will get the opportunity to compete at the FIVB World Championships in her own country in two weeks. She will play with 21-year old Daria Paszek.
Artacho (19) and Ngauamo (17), who already have some World Tour experience, will also attend the World Championships at Stare Jablonki. "We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to play at the World Tour and the World Championships at our age. We have learned a lot this way."

It's something that's too familiar. And, sadly, too often are the outcomes. During any Major League baseball game, players can be seen with their cheeks extended and a dark fluid being spit out of their mouths. It's a common occurrence.
While many of us who have grown up with the game are used to seeing players chewing tobacco, a new generation of children watching in the stands and on television may be seeing smokeless tobacco used for the first time. They are the ones most influenced by what baseball players do both on and off the field.
And that behavior can be more powerful in generating sales than any advertising campaign by the tobacco industry.
The recent death of major league baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, which has been attributed to his longtime use of the product, is just one more sobering reminder of a life cut short. He was only 54.
Although cigarette smoking in the United States continues to decline, a recent report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that the use of smokeless tobacco has held steady over the past nine years. In 2013, according to the CDC, 14.7 percent of high-school boys, and 8.8 percent of all high-school students, reported using smokeless products.
The CDC further states that smokeless tobacco contains 28 carcinogens, which, according to the American Dental Association, can cause gum disease, stained teeth and tongue, a dulled sense of taste and smell, slow healing after a tooth extraction, and, worst of all, oral cancer.
For some, oral cancer can result in multiple surgical procedures and disfigurement. For Tony Gwynn, it apparently cost him his life.
Smokeless tobacco is not harmless. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, it delivers more nicotine than cigarettes and stays in the bloodstream longer. Clearly, tobacco use is both a serious medical problem, as well as an oral health problem.
In a letter to baseball commissioner Bud Selig following the death of Tony Gwynn, nine leading health care organizations, including the American Medical Association and the American Dental Association, stated, "Use of smokeless tobacco endangers the health of major league ballplayers. It also sets a terrible example for the millions of young people who watch baseball at the ballpark or on TV and often see players and managers using tobacco."
Oral cancer continues to be a serious problem in the U.S. More than 30,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, and the five-year survival rate is only around 50 percent. While a batting average of .500 would be considered outstanding in baseball, 50/50 odds aren't very good in the game of life.
The connection between oral health and overall health is well documented. What happens in the mouth can affect the entire body. Physicians are now being trained to examine the mouth and to work with dentists to make patients more aware of the importance of oral health as it affects their overall health and well-being.
Programs such as the Massachusetts Dental Society's Connect the Dots, in which physicians and dentists work together in the community, and the Massachusetts Medical Society's establishment of a Committee on Oral Health mark the beginning of a growing relationship between physicians and dentists to promote oral health in the commonwealth.
But oral cancer isn't the only health risk from smokeless tobacco. Users have an increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes.
Many health issues are preventable, especially those related to tobacco use. The medical and dental professions can play a key role by providing education and screening for oral cancer.
Major League baseball players have an important opportunity to contribute to this educational process by aiding in prevention efforts, particularly aimed at impressionable young people. For the past four years, the Massachusetts Dental Society, in partnership with NESN and the Boston Red Sox, has produced TV campaigns on the dangers of smokeless tobacco.
The Massachusetts Medical Society and the Massachusetts Dental Society are committed to reducing tobacco use in all its forms and welcome the continued participation of the Red Sox and all of Major League baseball. In 2014, chewing tobacco continues to be as much a symbol of baseball as the actual action on the field.
The elimination of smokeless tobacco in the sport would be a grand slam. For the health of our children, shouldn't this image of our national pasttime now be considered past its time?
Anthony Giamberardino, D.M.D., a Wilmington resident who practices general dentistry in Medford, is president of the Massachusetts Dental Society. Richard Pieters, M.D., a Duxbury resident and radiation oncologist at the University of Massachusetts Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, is president of the Massachusetts Medical Society.

Tip: Multiple computers connecting to the modem through an AirPort base station would only count as one device to the modem. That's because the AirPort base station can give private IP addresses to the computers.
Provisioning in action
Suppose that you have one computer in your home, an iMac that successfully connects to the Internet through a cable modem. Subsequently you purchase an AirPort Extreme base station and a Macbook Pro.
To get all three devices on the Internet, you would disconnect the Ethernet cable from the iMac and plug it into the WAN port on the base station instead. Then you would get an additional Ethernet cable to run between the iMac and one of the AirPort base station's LAN ports. The Macbook Pro would connect to the base station wirelessly.
The setup would look like this:
You've done everything right, but still can't connect to the Internet. Why?
It is likely that the modem locked onto your iMac, and it will ignore anything else you plug into it until the modem has been reset. If you were to plug the iMac back into the modem, it would still connect to the Internet.
Fortunately, resetting a broadband modem is usually very easy -- just unplug its power supply, wait a moment, and plug it back in. After its indicator lights have gone through their startup routine, you should do the same to the AirPort base station.
Odds are that you can connect to the Internet now. If not, the more detailed information that follows can help you troubleshoot the situation further.
Provisioning in depth
What is a Hardware Address?
An Ethernet device, like your computer or base station, is exposed to all information transmitted over the network segment that it is on, but it only "listens" to specific pieces of information (called "packets") that contain the unique identifying number of your Ethernet device. This unique number is commonly referred to as either a "hardware address" or a "media access control (MAC) address." It is a 12-digit hexadecimal number. Every addressable hardware product used for networking is required to have a unique MAC address permanently embedded in it.
What is Hardware Address Provisioning?
Some Internet service providers only accept packets that contain your device's MAC address, thus controlling access to the network. This practice is called "hardware access provisioning."
For example: Suppose that you have a computer connected to a cable modem before purchasing an AirPort Base Station. Your Internet service provider might recognize your computer's MAC address as the correct one for your account. Your new base station then takes the position on your network that was formerly occupied by your computer, but you have not taken any action to let your Internet service provider (or its hardware) know the new address. The base station then sends packets to your Internet service provider that do not contain the required MAC address, and the packets are ignored.
How to resolve a provisioning issue
Methods used by service providers for determining what your MAC address should be varies, affecting how you must resolve the situation:
Reset network hardware
- A cable or DSL modem may simply record the address of the device that is connected to it when the modem is turned on or plugged in. Unplugging, turning off/on, or resetting your cable or DSL modem may be all that is required for some Internet service providers. Manual configuration
- Your Internet service provider may ask you for your device's hardware address and enter it into their system manually. A technician may have collected this information when your service was first set up. In this case, you would contact your Internet service provider's technical support to have your hardware address updated.
How to find the MAC address
On Macintosh hardware, the hardware address is usually found on a label affixed to back or bottom of the device. The number that you are looking for is typically labeled "Ethernet ID" and is 12 digits long. The number may be located next to a bar code.
- MAC addresses of a Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme Base Station:
- MAC addresses of an older AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet):
- MAC addresses of an AirPort Base Station (Graphite):
Choosing the correct address
Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme Base Station
- Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme Base Stations have several MAC addresses, one for its Ethernet port and one or two for its wireless cards. Choose the number labeled "Ethernet ID". AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet)
- The white AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) actually has three hardware addresses, one for a local wired network (the LAN port), one for uplinking to your Internet service provider (the WAN port), and a third for its wireless card. Connect your modem to the WAN port then choose the address labeled "Ethernet ID#1". AirPort Base Station (Graphite)
- The original AirPort Base Station (Graphite) has two MAC addresses, one for its Ethernet port and another for its wireless card. Choose the number labeled "Ethernet ID".

Committee Opinion Number 668, August 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 448, December 2009) (Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: For an adolescent with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, or both, and for her caregivers, menstruation can present significant challenges. If, after an evaluation, the adolescent, her family, and the obstetrician–gynecologist have decided that menstrual intervention is warranted, advantages and disadvantages of hormonal methods should be reviewed and individualized to each patient's specific needs. Complete amenorrhea may be difficult to achieve, and realistic expectations should be addressed with the patient and her caregivers. The goal in menstrual manipulation sho...

(Replaces No. 121, April 1993, Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Effective rehabilitation and modern reproductive technology may increase the number of women considering pregnancy who have spinal cord injuries (SCIs). It is important that obstetricians caring for these patients are aware of the specific problems related to SCIs. Autonomic dysreflexia is the most significant medical complication seen in women with SCIs, and precautions should be taken to avoid stimuli that can lead to this potentially fatal syndrome. Women with SCIs may give birth vaginally, but when cesarean delivery is indicated, adequate anesthesia (spinal or epidural if possib...

Tenacity and commitment the hallmarks of this SEOM's work
Valerie Wilson
Valerie Wilson's energy and talents are "directed squarely on the achievements of others on the Columbus State campus," says Susan Norris-Berry, director of Regional Learning Centers. "Her tenacity and commitment to the college are unmatched."
Norris-Berry nominated her partner on the Switch2Semesters Communication Team for the Staff Employee of the Month, "because she embodies the spirit of Columbus State."
"This college-wide effort was a three-year commitment with very few lulls in the committee work," says Norris-Berry. "Each quarter brought its own sense of urgency with events and activities planned such as Welcome Back Day, Spring Fling, targeted emails and website pop-up videos. The whole committee admired Valerie's industrious efforts and unflappable resolve to get it right!"
Wilson is Coordinator of Enrollment Publications in the Marketing and Communications Department. She was given the January 2013 SEOM award in a ceremony held Jan. 9 and attended by all the members of the Switch2Semesters Communication Team as well as her department colleagues.
"It's important to note that while Valerie led the communication efforts for S2S, she also continued to perform her important work as the college's coordinator for publications," says supervisor Will Kopp. "She oversaw production of the college's first semester-based Catalog, coordinated production of the Student Handbook, serves as editor of the college's award-winning UpNext newsletter for high school students, and she wrote and produced many brochures and publications to promote enrollment at Columbus State."
The Purchasing office has created a form to ask for assistance in writing a Request for Proposal (RFP) and Request for Quote (RFQ) for goods and services. The new form was created in order to help eliminate confusion in the bid process and improve communication flow with the Purchasing office. The form will allow all parties to be more efficient and consistent while expediting the bidding process. The form is located on the intranet under "purchasing forms."
Please email completed RFP and RFQ Request Forms to Darrin Albaugh, supervisor of Accounts Payable, Purchasing and Travel. Questions regarding the RFP and RFQ Request Form should be addressed to Albaugh or Cindy Klimek.
Take time to get a flu shot!
The best way to protect against influenza is to get a flu vaccine every flu season.
Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory disease that can lead to serious complications, hospitalization, or even death. Anyone can get the flu, and vaccination is the single best way to protect against influenza. Even healthy children and adults can get very sick from the flu and spread it to family and friends.
There are two reasons for getting a yearly flu vaccine.
1) The first reason is that because flu viruses are constantly changing, flu vaccines may be updated from one season to the next to protect against the most recent and most commonly circulating viruses.
2) The second reason that annual vaccination is recommended is that a person's immune protection from vaccination declines over time and annual vaccination is needed for optimal protection.
Everyone is at risk for seasonal influenza. Health experts now recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older get vaccinated against influenza. While everyone should get a flu vaccine each flu season, it's especially important that the following groups get vaccinated:
Pregnant women
Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old
People 50 years of age and older
People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions
People who live in nursing homes and other long–term care facilities
People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu.
For a complete list, see "Who Should Get Vaccinated against Influenza" at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/whoshouldvax.htm.
Influenza vaccine is not approved for use in children younger than six months so they should not be vaccinated, but their caregivers should be vaccinated instead. And people who are sick with fever should wait until their symptoms pass to get vaccinated. Some people should not be vaccinated before talking to their doctor.
If you have questions about whether you should get a flu vaccine, consult your health care provider.

Columbus State ranks third in Ohio for safety
StateUniversity.com, the leading website for college information, has released its 2nd annual list of the safest colleges and universities in the U.S. The Safest Schools findings are based on incidents of campus crime as reported by campus safety officials. The 2012 rankings are available online at http://www.stateuniversity.com/rank/safety_ score_rank.html.
As part of the Safest Schools ranking, StateUniversity.com analyzed crime statistics for 450 colleges and universities, and assigned a safety rating to each school. Safety ratings are determined based on the number of occurrences of aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, theft/larceny, motor vehicle theft, forcible rape, and murder on campus, and then are weighed based on the probability of each incident happening to each student since naturally larger campuses would be expected to have a higher number of total incidents. Violent crime is given more weight in the ranking system, and has a greater effect on the safety rating than non-violent crime such as theft.
In Ohio, only Sinclair Community College in Dayton and Lakeland Community College in Kirtland ranked higher than Columbus State, which was given a 97.08 % safety rating out of a perfect 100. You can see the complete Ohio campus safety rankings here.

Groton certifies petition opposing council vote to sell cable company
Groton - The impact of a petition calling for a repeal of a City Council vote authorizing the sale of Thames Valley Communications remains an unknown.
The petition was filed Wednesday and certified by City Clerk Debbie Patrick on Thursday. She said the petition contained the necessary 20 signatures, as mandated by City Charter.
City Mayor Marian Galbraith said the petition is in the hands of the city's attorney for interpretation of the City Charter and what should be done next. The City Charter does allow for a referendum vote in certain matters, but Galbraith declined to speculate on that possibility.
"We want to make sure we are doing everything correctly," she said.
Petitioners have called for a repeal of a Nov. 19 vote by the City Council that authorized sale of the municipally owned cable, phone and Internet provider, a subsidiary of Groton Utilities, for $150,000. A final vote on the sale to CTP Investors LLC, a private investment management firm, is still scheduled for Dec. 17.
The petition was filed on the day before new charter revisions, approved by voters at referendum in November, took effect. Under the newly implemented revisions, a petition would have needed 5 percent of the registered voters from the last election, substantially more than the 35 signatures that were verified on the petition.
Residents called for a repeal of the vote in light of what resident Jay Dempsey said was revelations about TVC's $27.5 million debt and operating losses of more than $2 million a year since 2004.
Dempsey said not enough about the sale, negotiated behind closed doors, or the operation of the company was known to residents who are now second-guessing the council's decision.
"We need a cooling-off period - more time to make an informed decision," Dempsey said.
Dempsey said he would prefer to have TVC's financial records and assets made public and allow time for the possibility of a better deal for the city. Residents voted in favor of the city bonding money to establish the company, but he said frustration has arisen because of the lack of general information about the operation of TVC.
Galbraith said she is concerned delays will jeopardize the sale. Transfer of ownership is scheduled for Jan. 1.
"The longer we delay, the more money we are putting into it," Galbraith said.
She said that she is also concerned about the nearly two dozen TVC employees, who would have likely lost their jobs had the council decided to liquidate TVC instead of selling it.
"It's not in the best interests of the city, the employees or the company to prolong this," she said. "We don't want to be forced into liquidation. It is the least desirable thing that could happen."
She said the labor costs alone to tear down miles of cable are likely to offset any salvage value. In addition, Galbraith said liquidation would cost jobs and a chance for the new company to continue the service.

Secrets of a Pentagon think tank
From Vladimir Putin's body language to the histories of religious warfare, from the development of new technologies to accounts of ancient empires, there isn't much the Pentagon's internal think tank won't pursue.
The Office of Net Assessment, which is headed by a seldom-seen, 92-year-old Nixon-era defense analyst named Andrew Marshall, is just a tiny compartment in the labyrinthine Defense Department, but its interests are vast. In a recent solicitation, the ONA said it's seeking research about nuclear proliferation, future naval warfare and the use of space, among other topics.
Story Continued Below
Usually this kind of work, which costs around $10 million per year, flies well under the radar in a defense budget of roughly half a trillion dollars. Every once in a while, however, the public catches a glimpse of something Marshall and his office are pursuing — most recently, when the Pentagon confirmed it has been spending $300,000 per year to study the body language of Putin and other world leaders.
( Also on POLITICO: Pentagon studies Putin body language)
The ONA's wide reach makes the office an asset for DOD leaders, advocates say, despite the Pentagon's acknowledgement that body language analysis of Putin and others hasn't helped with decision making during the international standoff with Russia over Ukraine.
Indeed, a lot of the ONA's work never makes it outside the office, said Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby. Supporters argue that it's still worth doing.
"One of the things that has made ONA so valuable to DOD senior leadership in the past is that it is the one place where 'orthogonal' issues — issues that may not obviously appear to affect the department, but that may indeed turn out to have important implications for the future security environment and future warfare that DOD will need to take into account — may be examined," said Jan van Tol, a retired Navy captain and former military assistant to the ONA.
In a capital that can be preoccupied with winning the day or kicking the can, the Pentagon needs an office pursuing many areas of interest with a long-range view, said van Tol, now a senior fellow with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
( Also on POLITICO: Full defense policy coverage)
"Some of these may turn out to be 'dry holes,' but others may alert senior leadership to some kinds of future concerns that they might never have learned about otherwise via normal organizational and bureaucratic processes," he said.
Much of the ONA's work is handled by contractors, including big players such as Booz Allen Hamilton and Washington think tanks like CSBA, which can include alumni such as van Tol.
Many of the priorities described in the ONA's recent solicitation are becoming recurring themes for Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and the Joint Chiefs. For example, Hagel and other top officials have warned that other military powers could target the constellation of American satellites that supports the services' ability to communicate, operate drones or target their weapons.
( Sign up for POLITICO's Morning Defense tip sheet)
Other ONA-backed studies seem to go much further afield. According to an index of its reports obtained in 2009 by TPMmuckraker, the ONA has commissioned reports with titles that include "The Changing Images of Human Nature" and "Biometaphor for The Body Politic," as well as more standard-sounding fare such as the "Role of High Power Microwave Weapons In Future Intercontinental Conventional War."

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Salisbury University junior defensive lineman Joey Buckley blocked a Joe Going punt on Buffalo State College's 3-yard line and returned it for the game-winning touchdown in the second quarter as the No. 11 Sea Gulls topped the Bengals, 20-7, in SU's Empire 8 Athletic Conference opener Saturday at Coyer Field.
Leading, 7-0, after a 4-yard rushing touchdown by senior quarterback Dan Griffin on the its first drive of the game, Salisbury (3-1, 1-0 Empire 8) added its second defensive or special teams score in as many games to go up, 13-0, after a missed extra point with 3:58 remaining before halftime.
Freshman backup quarterback John Dunbar, who came in for Griffin in the second quarter, hooked up with junior slot Michael Copenhaver on a 59-yard touchdown on a post pattern, finishing off a 72-yard dive in 1:13 for a 20-0 advantage with 5:53 left in the third.
Buffalo State (2-3, 0-2) got on the scoreboard after Jeffrey Moore blocked a 42-yard Jack Molloy field goal. Jordan Bosser recovered the ball on the SU 10-yard line and Bengals quarterback Casey Kacz scampered to the end zone on the next play to cut the lead to 20-7 with 11:16 to play.
Senior superback Joe Benedetti led Salisbury with 114 yards and 22 carries and Dunbar chipped in with 51 on 19 attempts and was 2-for-3 passing for 69 yards and a touchdown. Griffin ran nine times for 30 yards and the touchdown.
Salisbury held Buffalo State to just 158 yards of offense, including 16 yards rushing, marking the first time since a 69-0 win at Alfred University on Oct. 15, 2011 that SU limited the opposition to less than 200 yards.
Senior cornerback Andre Carter paced the Gulls' defense with eight tackles (five solo) and five passes broken up. Carter's cornerback classmate Paul Moore tallied three solo stops with a team-high-tying two for loss and one pass broken up. Sophomore defensive lineman Nick Ochoa picked up two of the other three tackles for loss.
Senior linebacker Kevin Costello picked off Kacz (13-for-30, 142 yards, one interception) on the Bengals' final drive to seal the victory with just over three minutes remaining.
Caesarae Lewis, John Beers and Dave Jacobs made three catches apiece with Lewis collecting a team-high 54 yards receiving. Kacz led the team with 30 yards rushing on four carries.
Salisbury travels to face undefeated and eighth-ranked St. John Fisher College next Saturday in Pittsford, N.Y. Kickoff at Growney Stadium is slated for noon.

Anatomy of a scam
The invoice, in a white business envelope with a window on the front, looks legitimate. The first indication something is not quite right it is the postage mark indicating it is pre-sorted bulk mail – unusual for an invoice. The document itself, purporting to be from US-Telecom, looks like a standard invoice with your firm's name and address, a reference number and a notation that you owe $425 for a Telecom Maintenance Agreement with the terms listed as "Net 30 Days."
All very proper and above board, right? Wrong! These phony invoices are part of a mass-mailing, multi-state fraud being worked by convicted California con man David William Bell. Although law enforcement agencies around the nation are starting to get wise to this scam, thousands of these things are presumably being delivered each week. We got one at The Examiner last week and decided to check it out.
What Bell is hoping is that some recipients of these phony invoices will pass it on to the bookkeeping department, who will send him a check. Since most companies don't have a team of investigators on the payroll, that probably happens more often than people would care to admit. In Los Angeles alone, the Better Business Bureau received 462 complaints on the US-Telecom invoice scam in 2011.
Bell ignored most of the complaints but weakly asserted that what they mailed were not invoices but a solicitation for new business. Nowhere on the solicitation does UST disclose that the invoice is actually a solicitation.
Title 39, United States Code, Section 3001, makes it illegal to mail a solicitation in the form of an invoice, bill or statement of account due unless it conspicuously bears a notice on its face that it is, in fact, merely a solicitation. This disclaimer must be in very large (at least 30-point) type and must be in boldface capital letters in a color that contrasts prominently with the background against which it appears.
Stacia Crane, public information representative for the Los Angeles division of the U. S. Postal Inspection Service, would not confirm that an official investigation of Bell was underway but said her agency was aware of his actions. Crane referred The Examiner to a USPA notice that said, "A solicitation whose appearance does not conform to the requirements of Title 39, United States Code, Section 3001, constitutes prima facie evidence of violation of the federal False Representation Statute."
Another problem with a mass-mailing fraud scheme occurs when you lose control of who gets the scam invoices. New York Assistant Attorney General Judith Malkin became aware of the scam when one of the phony invoices showed up in the AG's office in Syracuse where she works. Malkin quickly took action to prevent any state agencies from sending payments in response and issues a strongly worded cease and desist letter to Bell demanding an accounting of any funds he had received from New York entities.
In an interview this week, Malkin told The Examiner Bell had not responded to her letter but indicated he is in trouble elsewhere. The North Dakota Attorney General's Office filed a cease and desist order against U.S. Telecom and its principal, David Bell, for "engaging in unlawful acts or practices" by mailing businesses solicitations that could "reasonably be interpreted" as a bill or invoice.
Malkin also alerted us to the efforts of Kenneth White, a partner a Los Angeles law firm that received one of the phony invoices. White, a former federal prosecutor, launched his own investigation. He quickly learned that Bell is a convicted felon who an 11-count complaint accused of grand theft by embezzlement or $227,226.99 from the estate of William S. Bell and Sharon Rae Bell, of check endorsement forgery, and of fraudulently using credit cards to get cash advances and balance transfers. In May 2004, David Bell entered a no contest plea to embezzlement in exchange for two years in state prison and restitution.
If the name US-Telecom sounds vaguely familiar, that is because there are two legitimate entities with almost identical names. US Telecom is the nation's premier trade association representing service providers and suppliers for the telecom industry – not to be confused with U.S. Telecom, located in the heart of New York City's Financial District where they specialize in designing and implementing robust data and voice networks. Neither have anything to do with David Bell.
There is a link, however, since two federal trademark actions from the 1990s saw the holders of trademarks for legitimate telecommunications companies successfully sue David Bell for using confusingly similar business names.
In 1995, a company called Tie/Communications sued David Bell and Branden Bell, asserting that they were doing business as "Tie Communications" and "Inter-State Communications." The court entered judgment against David Bell and Branden Bell, ordering them not to use the Tie Communications name or any other name with "tie" in it, and imposing more than $166,000 in fines, sanctions and costs, which was never paid.
In 1999, Alltel Corporation sued "David Bell" for using the name "All Tell Communications." The docket shows that David Bell defaulted, and the court ordered David Bell to cease using the Alltell mark or any mark confusingly similar.

Alligator is the third release from Brooklyn based five-piece The National, and their first for venerable UK label Beggars Banquet. The move to an English label and extensive European touring, along with a better European reception for their sophomore effort Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers seems to have further distanced The Nationals sound from their Americana-tinged self-titled debut. The slight electronic touches that graced Sad Songs are gone, replaced by a more straightforward guitar-driven post-punk sound, with bigger choruses and flashier production courtesy of longtime collaborator Peter Katis, who also produced Interpols two full-lengths.
To write The National off as trying to cash in on the success of Interpol may be tempting, and the leanness and catchiness of many of Alligators tracks seem to be an attempt to reach a larger audience. The band, however, still maintains the self-awareness that informed the naming of Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers: for every gothic, morose sentiment theres an equal amount of tongue-in-cheek self-deprecation. Singer Matt Berninger has gained a reputation as a miserablist, and the lyrical bulk of Alligator is still women (Karen), booze (All the Wine), and the trials and tribulations of mixing the two (Baby, Well Be Fine). Berninger, using a narrative voice that helps create a distance between the singer and the subject, seems equally aware of the pathetic nature of his lyrics: (I put on an Argyle sweater and put on a smile / and try to be brave on Baby, Well Be Fine) and Im a perfect piece of ass / all the wine is all for me on All the Wine). The words revel in their lameness, more a case study of middle-class angst than a product of it.
Alligators biggest missteps are the moments when the music joins in the apprehension, rendering the coyness in Berningers lyrics unreadable. Album opener Secret Making and first single Abel both feature unwelcome Modest Mouse-style screaming. Mid-tempo numbers such as Geese of Beverly Road and City Middle, with its name dropping of alcohol-obsessed playwright Tennessee Williams, fair better and give Berningers rich baritone a chance to stand out. Val Jester is the only track on Alligator to feature a string arrangement, in contrast to the numerous tracks that helped define the sound of Sad Songs, and remains one of the albums best. Of the rock songs here, only finale Mr. November stands up to the best of The Nationals work, exuding a ferocity that ends the album on a surprising climax.

FIVB makes first inspection visit to Rio 2016
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, September 11, 2013 – The first FIVB visit of the volleyball and beach volleyball sites of the Olympic Games to be hosted in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 was held on Tuesday.
The inspection team, composed of FIVB 1st Executive Vice-President Cristóbal Marte Hoffiz and FIVB Sports Events Director Gabrielle van Zweiten first visited the Maracanãzinho gymnasium and then the Organising Committee headquarters. The Rio 2016 party included Sports and Paralympic Integration Executive Director Agberto Guimarães, Sports Competitions Manager Rodrigo Garcia and Sports Competitions Coordinator Guilherme Marques.
"I'm really satisfied with what I've seen here," said Marte Hoffiz. "The Organising Committee is really well structured and defined, with professionals that understand what they have in their hands. It will allow the event to be organised in the best possible way."
He was also enthusiastic about the beach volleyball venue at the world-famous Copacabana beach and expressed his hopes that the event would have even greater success than it had seen at the 2012 London Olympics.
"We'll have a splendorous scenario at the beautiful Copacabana beach. This is a beach volleyball site for excellence. There is no place in the world like this one," he enthused.
Marte Hoffiz is also confident that Maracanãzinho gymnasium will draw huge crowds for the volleyball matches in Rio. Plans are currently underway to build warm up courts in accordance with the FIVB's requirements.
"The Maracanãzinho is the home of Brazilian and world volleyball. The gymnasium is ready to host the world-class players in 2016," said Marte Hoffiz.

New Year's Eve Paris
Contact Us
Version Française
Questions for the event NO DIGGITY ALL STAR 2020 au WANDERLUST + NF34 @ Wanderlust
Frequently Ask Questions
How can I purchase entrance tickets ?
Over the internet through our 100% secure online ticket office.
To buy tickets simply click on the "buy online" button on the web page of your chosen event. We recommend buying tickets online as the quickest and easiest method. We work with one of France's leading online ticket office companies,
« Weezevent »
, and there is a minor commission charge for the processing of each ticket purchase (usually around 1.99 euro per ticket).
- At the "Reveillon Paris" ticket office situated : Les Etoiles - 61 rue du Chateau d'Eau, Paris, 75010
(metro station 4 : Chateau d'Eau // metro station 4 or 8 or 9 : Strasbourg Saint Denis). The ticket office is open
from the 30th of December onwards
, from 12.30pm until 8pm. The physical ticket office does not charge any commission on ticket sales.
How does the online ticket office work ?
Tickets are paid for online using a credit card, and once payment has been accepted you will be able to print out your tickets (the tickets can be printed in color or black and white, either are valid). There is a unique barcode at the bottom of each ticket which will be scanned at the entrance with a special machine that checks the validity of the ticket, just like the barcodes on boarding passes which are scanned at the airport. If you are unable to print your tickets, it is possible to present the barcode on the screen of your smartphone at the event entrance. You can print out as many copies of your ticket as you like, but each ticket/unique barcode can only be used once to enter the event. After your unique barcode has been scanned and validated, and you have been granted entry to the event, your entry will be recorded by the system and your unique barcode becomes invalid, so another person cannot re use your ticket to gain entry. The website which handles and processes our online ticket sales does charge a small commission (usually varying between 1.99 and 2.99 euros per ticket).
Are tickets nominative ?
No, they are not. It is possible to buy numerous tickets all in the same name and to then pass them on to others. But each ticket will still have a unique, different barcode and can only be used once, by one person, to gain initial entry to the event. However, groups are to maintain a mixture of men and women according to the terms and conditions of the event.
Does buying an advance ticket guarantee entrance to the event ?
Yes, provided that the ticketholder (the person using the ticket to enter the event) meets certain terms and conditions :
- He or she must be of legal drinking age (18 years of age)
- He or she must be in respect of the formal dress code applicable for each event
- He or she must respect the codes of behavior expected from event attendees (rudeness, aggression, or violence towards event staff or other attendees will result in being denied entry or being forcibly removed from the event)
- He or she must not have already consumed or be in possession of drugs
- He or she must not be visibly under the influence of alcohol upon entry to the event. Anyone visibly inebriated will be refused entry, and can be removed forcibly from the event if they are visibly inebriated to excess.
If I have an advance ticket does this mean I will not have to wait in line to enter the event ?
An advance ticket gives priority entrance over those arriving without tickets and wishing to purchase tickets upon arrival. However, those arriving with advance tickets will be granted access to the event by order of arrival at the entrance. So, yes, if a lot of people with advance tickets arrive before you do, a short wait is possible whilst they pass through security and ticket scanning. We therefore advise advance ticketholders to arrive 30 minutes before doors open, or after half past midnight to avoid waiting too long in line.
If I have an advance ticket can I enter at any time ?
Yes, within the event open hours. However, it is advised to arrive before 11pm or after half past midnight to avoid the busiest times at the entrance and cloakrooms.
I can no longer attend, is it possible to have a refund ?
We apologize but no refunds will be given. Advance tickets are sold at a reduced promotional price, and are therefore neither exchangeable nor refundable. However, as tickets are not nominative, you can pass your ticket on to someone else if you are unable to attend.
I don't have an advance ticket, is it possible to buy tickets on the door ?
We do not recommend that you attempt to buy tickets at the door. Our New Years Eve events are usually fully booked, and it is rare that any tickets remain for sale at the door. What's more, buying an advance ticket is considerably cheaper than an on the door ticket, so we invite you to take advantage of the good deals…. If you decide nonetheless to try to attend without an advance ticket, an information hotline is open on the 31st of December to provide information about remaining ticket availabilities.
Is there an age limit to attend the event ?
Our events are aimed at different age ranges according to the event. The average age range of attendees is given on the page of each event. However as the law stipulates that alcohol must not be served to persons under the age of 18,
, even if you are joined by an accompanying adult, friend, parent, or other responsible person.
. Proof of age photo ID will be requested, and no refunds will be granted for non compliance with age regulations or for failure to provide proof of age.
What is the formal dress code required to be granted access to the event ?
Though not overly strict, we do require a certain minimum for the New Years Eve celebrations. Though suits for men and evening gowns for women are welcome, but not obligatory, attendees must be clean and smartly attired. "Streetwear" is not acceptable (for example, t-shirts, trainers, baggy or loose clothes, baseball caps, are all unacceptable dress).
Some examples of acceptable dress
are jeans or trousers with a smart shirt and smart shoes, even better with a jacket, and dresses or smart skirts and tops.
Will there be a cloakroom facility at the event ?
Yes, however, the cloakroom service is not included in the ticket price. A small charge will be required to use the cloakrooms, usually around
3euros per smaller item
(coat, small evening bag, motorcycle helmet), and around
4euros for larger bags.
This is the safest place to leave anything valuable, and we request that you do not leave anything lying around at the venue. The event organizers cannot be held responsible for any items lost or missing (except those entrusted to their care in the cloakroom in exchange for the aforementioned fee). It is advised to keep all items on your person or in the cloakroom, especially valuables such as money, mobile phones and cameras. Be also advised that items can be reclaimed from the cloakroom only once, after you reclaim an item, in order to return it to the cloakroom, you will be required to recheck the item and repay the fee, so make sure you have taken out everything you will need before leaving items at the cloakroom (for example money, cigarettes, lipstick).
What am I entitled to in exchange for my multiple drink token card ?
1 token/ticket =
small beer (25cl), or
1 glass of non alcoholic beverage (e.g. coca cola, apple juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, tonic water), or one glass of spirit and mixer (not including energy drink), or one shot of spirit.
2 tokens/tickets =
1 glass of spirit with energy drink
3 tokens/tickets =
1 glass of champagne or 1 large beer (33cl - corona - desperados) or 1 whole can of energy drink
I have not used all of my drink tokens (3 to 5 token offer), can I have a refund ?
No, the 3 to 5 multiple drink tokens allow you access to the bar and to be served between 3 and 5drinks, during the open hours of the bar on the day of the event. You are not obliged to consume all 5 drinks or all your tokens, and we would advise against overly consuming alcoholic beverages, so as to enjoy New Years Day in Paris! However, any drinks tokens or tickets unused or only partly used will absolutely not be refunded.
Is it possible to book a table for the duration of the event ?
The tables and seating are reserved in priority to those attendees having purchased one or more bottles of alcohol from the event, on a first come first served basis. The tables not attributed to bottle customers function on a free seating basis. Bottles of alcohol at the event may be purchased in advance on our website (at a promotional price), or at the event itself.
How many people does one table accommodate ?
One table generally accommodates 4 to 5 people.
If I purchase a bottle, do I still have to pay the entry fee ?
Yes, the bottles are very reasonably priced, especially for a New Years Eve event, and so all attendees must pay the entry fee, regardless of whether they buy a bottle or not. The "bottle option" covers a group. It is not necessary for every person in the group to pay the "bottle option", but every person must pay the entry fee. The bottle option gives priority for a table on a first come first served basis the night of the event. Tables generally accommodate around 4 people.
I want to take a Bottle Option. How much is the entrance fee ?
The bottle option does not include admission to the party. You must first take one of the formulas proposed for each participant and then add a "Bottle Option". This will allow you to have a table (for 4-5 people) + a bottle of your choice.
The Bottle Option is fairly inexpensive for a December 31st because there are already drinks included in the formulas.
Example: You are 4 people and you want to have a bottle. You must take:
4 Formulas
1 Bottle option
Can I leave the event for a moment and later return to the event ?
No, once you exit the venue to leave the event you will not be permitted to return to the event.
Is there a smoking area within the venue ?
Yes, there is a smoking area provided at the event venue.
Is it easy to park near to the venue ?
The events are in Paris and parking in Paris can be difficult at the best of times. We would advise that instead you use public transport to travel to and from the event, moreover, public transport is free and certain lines run all night on New Years Eve.
It's my birthday, or other special occasion, would it be possible to make an announcement ?
We are sorry, but unfortunately we do not make announcements. Everyone has lots to celebrate on December 31st and repeated announcements would make interruptions on the night, possibly diminishing some other attendees' enjoyment of the event. For this reason we have decided on a general rule of no announcements of this kind. But we do wish you a Happy Birthday or special occasion and hope you enjoy celebrating at the event.
Is it possible to play country music at the event ?
The musical genres played at each event are clearly indicated on the page of the event. The DJ is obliged to adhere to the musical theme of the event as laid out in the description. Which in this case, we apologize, does not include country music ;-)
