A 50-year-old local man is accused of hitting his son and his son's friend while intoxicated on Tuesday night.
Naugatuck police went to 28 Beacon Wood Road at 8 p.m. for a call of an intoxicated man who had fallen. When police investigated, they discovered that Thomas Scianna, who lives at the address, had hit his son and his son's friend, police said.
Scianna was charged with risk of injury to a child and disorderly conduct. He was released on a $5,000 surety bond and was arraigned Wednesday at Waterbury Superior Court.
Scianna has one conviction on his record in Connecticut, according to the Connecticut Judicial Branch, which states he pleaded guilty in 2010 to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Portable Radio is back for its 6th season!
Here is our first "Portable Radio Point of View":
Who should decide where to sit in class: the student or the teacher?
I was listening to podcasts on my iPod today. Has it been 6 seasons already? How wonderful to hear new voices. This is a great start to the new year.
I could hear that you were working on speaking carefully and slowly so that your opinions are easily heard and understood by the listener. This is a tricky skill to master when someone has a microphone in your face.
I was wondering how many in the class were surprised at how they voices sounded on the podcast.
Everyone who participated had good points of view and a reason. I liked that. The reason gave your opinion some weight showed that you had given some thought to the opinion.
Keep your eyes open for issues that you can use in class for future "Points of View". I look forward to meeting your class soon.
For me it's good to let the teacher decide where the students should sits. Like for example arranging them alphabetically by their name. So no one will be outcast or complain. This can also avoid friends form chatting while teacher is teaching.
Hi my name is George from cloud 9 in Palmerston north New Zealand. I personally think that the students should choose were they want to sit because they would know who they would work well with but if you get seen mucking about you should get moved to a place that teacher wants them to be.
Hi its Flynn from cloud 9,Russell street,Palmerston north. I recon that you should choose were you want to sit but you can still talk to your friends while your working and if you chose you can sit were people wont disturb you.
Who should decide where to sit in class: the student or the teacher?
My Answer:
For me the student should decide where he/she wants to sit, because this will make the student feel comfortable while on class.

Bees are an economic engine. At least that's what I'd call something experts say is worth about $15 billion to our economy every year.
Last month at our annual convention, the California State Grange took a hard look at the issue of pollinators; their value, and the fact that today they are under threat. Last week, we followed up with a clear message for policymakers: Farm communities can't survive without bees. Let's protect our pollinators from pesticides. Today.
New science confirms that honey bees are at great risk when simultaneously exposed to parasites and pesticides.
Two pesticides of concern, fipronil and thiacloprid (a neonicotinoid), operate in combination with a common pathogen to dramatically increase bee death. And they do so at very low, sub-lethal levels.
This Sunday is World Food Day. It is a day to renew our commitment to ending the root causes of hunger.
It is also an opportunity to highlight the true costs of pesticide-dependent agriculture, and the corporate-controlled food system that goes with it. At PAN we're doing two things: celebrating bees and berating the Big 6. Join us!
Help start a national conversation on pesticides and bees by spreading the word about this hard-hitting, in-depth investigative report.
Dan Rather's investigative reporting team has produced a follow-up to their 2006 inquiry into Colony Collapse Disorder. Five years later, the situation remains substantively unaddressed by EPA.
Honey bees are still dying off at an average rate of 34% year, and the millions of dollars Congress set aside to investigate the issue has yielded no actionable findings for the federal agencies charged with stemming the tide of honey bee decline.
I have never been an organizer. Tell me where the march is, and I'll show up if I can.
But several months ago I got an e-mail forward from Graham White, a beekeeper in Scotland. It said something to the effect of: "Hey beekeepers, picture this: a flash mob for the bees!"

Indian Grand Prix: What you should know
2:00am Friday 26th October 2012 in Sport
Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso of Spain walks down the pit lane ahead of the Indian Formula One Grand Prix at the Buddh International Circuit in Noida, on the outskirts of New Delhi (AP/Das)
Formula One makes its second appearance at the Buddh International Circuit which very quickly on its debut last year established itself with the drivers as a track to be savoured.
It has drawn comparisons with Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, which has long been hailed as F1's best circuit given its fast, free-flowing, undulating nature.
Sebastian Vettel triumphed a year ago and a repeat for the 24-year-old German would make it four victories in a row this season, which would see him take a firm grip on the championship battle.
Here, Press Association Sport provides you with all the vital stats and facts for F1's return to India.
Venue: Buddh International Circuit.
Circuit length: 5.125km/3.324miles.
Laps: 60.
Race distance: 307.249km/190.161miles.
Lap record: Sebastian Vettel 1min 27.249secs (2011).
2011 pole position: Sebastian Vettel 1min 24.178secs.
2011 winner: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull).
* Three successive wins for Sebastian Vettel means he now has 25 career victories to his name, propelling him to joint sixth on the all-time list alongside Jim Clark and Niki Lauda.
* Vettel, however, has never won four races in a row in one F1 season. He did win the last two of 2010 and first two of 2011.
* Felipe Massa's 30-point haul in Japan and Korea means he has scored more points in the last two races than he managed in his first 11 this year.
* Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button are both tied on 48 podium finishes apiece at present. Vettel has 43, whilst Fernando Alonso has 82, placing him third on the all-time list behind Michael Schumacher (155) and Alain Prost (106).
* In setting the fastest lap in Korea, Mark Webber became the 11th different driver in 16 races this season to accomplish the feat.
* F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone celebrates his 82nd birthday on Sunday.
* Nine of the 10 corners between turns five and 14 are taken at between 200 and 250kph.
* The 230m run from pole to the apex of turn one is the third shortest of the year after Monaco and Valencia.
* The cars spend 8.2secs cornering in the double right-hander at turns 10 and 11
* In constructing the circuit four million cubic tons of earth were moved to achieve the rise and fall through the lap.

It took Dominique Williams the better portion of the first quarter to shake her nerves, but when she did, she looked unstoppable.
The 6-foot Centennial High sophomore is already being courted by Division I programs, and she showed why Saturday night in a tight contest against Mountain View.
Williams scored a game-leading 19 points as the Patriots held off the Mavericks 54-52 in a matchup between the No. 2 and No. 3 girls basketball teams in the 5A Southern Idaho Conference.
It was high adrenaline because I was supposed to go (to Mountain View), Williams said. Its kind of like a little rivalry. I just had to slow down and relax, and I got it together.
After missing her inside looks early, Williams moved out to 3-point range, nailing the shot on her first look to get the Patriots on the scoreboard following a nine-point run by Mountain View to start the game.
Dominique really is unstoppable. She is a key factor for us, Centennial coach Cassie Bro said. She can score outside. She can score inside. Weve just been really working on her with going up strong and going straight to the basket, and she did it tonight.
Mountain View (12-5, 10-5) finished the first quarter with an 11-9 advantage, but the lead changed hands 11 times including nine times in the second half as the Mavericks and Patriots (15-2, 13-2) combined for 15 3-pointers.
We all knew this was going to be a really high-intensity game, Centennial freshman point guard Ayana Amaechi said. We knew we were going to have to give it our all, because when it comes to Mountain View, its always down to the wire.
Centennial made six 3-pointers in the third quarter two apiece from Tori Williams and Katie Atkinson, and one each from Robyn Koetter and Dominique Williams to put the Patriots ahead 41-40 heading into the final frame.
The teams exchanged the lead four more times in the fourth quarter, and Mountain View had a chance to tie it in the final seconds, but just missed on a pair of inside shots.
One loss doesnt define a team, and picking each other up after losses is whats going to define us and make us better, said Mountain View sophomore Destiny Slocum, who had 14 points, five rebounds and four assists. Getting so close to districts and state, I think growing is going to be the biggest thing.

By Polya Lesova, MarketWatch
LONDON (MarketWatch) — European equity markets dropped on Thursday after the Italian government's borrowing costs surged in a bond auction, rekindling worries about the spread of the euro-zone debt crisis.
The losses also came after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that now is not the time to launch a new round of stimulus measures. His comments overshadowed data showing that U.S. weekly jobless claims fell to the lowest level in three months.
Euro stares $1.20 in the face
Continuing problems in the peripheral sovereign debt markets threaten to spiral out of control. And increasing talk of a default being an acceptable solution for Greece spells danger for the euro.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 index /quotes/zigman/2380150/delayed XX:SXXP -1.31% slipped 0.8% to end at 267.68.
Software AG /quotes/zigman/326672/delayed DE:SOW -2.66% was the biggest loser on the index. Its shares slumped more than 16% after the firm said late Wednesday that its fiscal second-quarter revenue has declined from the year-earlier period due to the strong euro. It also said that weakness in software-license sales continued.
Also in the sector, shares of business-software firm SAP AG /quotes/zigman/126928/delayed/quotes/nls/sap SAP -2.23% /quotes/zigman/149049/delayed DE:SAP -1.27% dropped 2.8%. That weighed on the German DAX 30 index /quotes/zigman/2380246/delayed DX:DAX -1.94% , which slipped 0.7% to 7,214.74.
"I think the potential for further increases [in equity markets] are very, very limited," said Christian Stocker, equity strategist at UniCredit in Germany.
"We are quite cautious for the rest of the quarter," he said. "We concentrate on defensive sectors."
The Stoxx 600 index has declined 3% so far this year.
Italy's borrowing costs rise
Italy was once again in the spotlight. The Italian government successfully sold nearly 5 billion euros of long-term bonds, but its borrowing costs rose sharply. Meanwhile, the Senate approved an austerity package, which will now go to the lower house of parliament for a vote, according to reports.
"The Italian auction today was relatively successful if you look at it from the angle if they were able to access the market," said Steen Jakobsen, chief economist at Saxo Bank. "But if you look at the yield ... we saw a new high in terms of the funding rate for Italy. It only reinforces the need for Italy to move forward on austerity plans."
Italy's FTSE MIB index slipped 1.1% to 18,640.35. Shares of insurer Assicurazioni Generali SpA /quotes/zigman/171445/delayed IT:G +2.02% fell 2.4% and those of Intesa Sanpaolo SpA /quotes/zigman/172768/delayed IT:ISP -2.53% slipped 2.1%.
Shares of Luxottica Group SpA /quotes/zigman/139872/delayed IT:LUX -1.34% /quotes/zigman/172523/delayed/quotes/nls/lux LUX -2.22% rose 0.9%, buoyed by an upgrade to buy from neutral at UBS, which cited in part the eyewear firm's track record in delivering organic growth.
Fiat Industrial SpA climbed 0.8%, as Goldman Sachs started coverage of the stock with a buy rating.
The Italian auction reinforced sovereign-debt worries and weighed on financial stocks in Europe. Commerzbank AG /quotes/zigman/15637094/delayed DE:CBK -2.92% slumped 4.4% in Frankfurt.

Q. I'm wondering why my cat might take up residence in the litterbox for short periods of time.
If your cat is spending extra time in the litterbox this could be a sign of either urinary tract problems (infections, stones, inflammatory disorders, kidney disease) or lower gastrointestinal problems (colitis, megacolon). Please see you veterinarian as soon as possible to have a thorough physical examination, blood work and a urinalysis performed. Often this is the only way cats can tell us that something is wrong with them. Please listen!
Lisa Ludlow, MA
My cat Rocky used to take naps in the litter box all the time when he was a baby. I would take him out of the litter box, when I caught him napping in there. He would just jump right back in and curl up for another nap. My vet examined him, and said he was fine. He said my cat probably liked to nap in the litter box because he felt safe there with the 4 walls of the box. It took Rocky a couple of years to realize the litter box wasn't the best place to take a nap.
Noel Sydney, NS
mine like them as beds, gives them their own bed choice, so I just give them an extra box so they can have a clean bed. I use wood chips, which makes them warm to sleep in, just like small animals do .
CatChannelEditor Irvine, CA
To be safe, take your cat to the vet to find out whether this is due to a medical problem. Then you can uncover any behavior reasons for this. Good luck
anonomous clinton township, MI
I thought my cat just did it for fun because he would just roll around in it. IS that a sign that he might be sick?

Grease is the word for theatre star Alex
12:00pm Saturday 27th April 2013 in News
TALENTED Alex Herriman is one step closer to his dream job after bagging a role in Grease The Musical at the Palace Theatre in Manchester.
The 14-year-old from Woolston will star in the 70s musical on August 8, 9 and 10 where he will dance and sing along to some of Grease's biggest hits.
Alex's mum, Caroyn Herriman, is not surprised her son wants to pursue a career in musical theatre as he has never stopped dancing since he could stand on his own two feet.
Caroyn said: "I always knew he was going to do something theatrical. When he's not at school he is always singing and dancing."
The Birchwood Community High School pupil attends StagePro Academy in Warrington where he has dance classes every night of the week.
Caroyn said: "He loves to dance - always has. I can't wait to see him on stage in the summer."
This is not Alex's first time on the stage. In 2010 he performed in the hit musical Guys and Doll as well as starring in Annie in 2012.
Grease The Musical is organised by The Stage Experience Outreach programme which is specifically designed to get young people on the stage and give them the chance to perform in a professional environment.
Alex, who distributes the Warrington Guardian every Thursday, is estatic about the opportunity.
Caroyn said: "He can't wait to get on stage. Rehearsals start on July 29 so he is looking forward to learning the routines."

The Spot - October 13, 2010
The Spot discusses What is USG?, Fine Arts and Crafts Fair, Common Theme: No Impact Week and more
October 15, 2010 — Duration: 5:12
[M. Mosbey] Hi, I�m Mitch Mosbey, your host for the October 13th edition of IUPUI�s The Spot. IUPUI students and staff deliver more than 90,000 hours of service to different community agencies and schools. Be a part of this impact by registering for Make a Difference Day. The event takes place Saturday, October 23rd from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For registration and more information, visit csl.iupui.edu/ocs.
USG Senators were interested in finding out from the student body if they know what USG is and what they do for students. The Spot stepped in to help; here�s what we discovered.
[C. Jordan] Over 30,000 students and 21 schools in the academic units on this campus, we wondered how many of them would know what USG was and that USG stood for the Undergraduate Student Government and the things that it accomplished.
[T. Greco] One morning, Chelle and I polled students, who were willing to participate. Of the 25 students that were willing to participate, we asked them if they knew what USG was and what it stood for.
[C. Jordan] Of the 25, 18 said �no� and seven said �yes.� After a few people, we became aware that maybe they didn�t understand what the acronym stood for, so we asked a few if they could guess what the acronym stood for.
[J. Voivodas] Maybe, United States Government.
[K. Lipking] The University Student Government.
[C. Jordan] Do you know what USG is?
[D. Roembke] Undergraduate Student Government.
[C .Jordan] Give me a high five.
[T. Greco] The seven students that responded that they knew what USG was, we asked them if they actually knew what USG did here on campus.
[J. Fuller] I am unsure what the undergraduate student council does; I don�t know.
[S. Lee] I know that they are working to get the fall break.
[T. Greco] USG has helped lower prices with Chartwell�s for student organizations. USG also helped with amplified sound in the atrium which is in the campus center from 12 � 1. Also USG helped to steady library hours during the weekend finals.
[C. Jordan] And several years ago they supported the building of the campus center and here it is for students to enjoy. And if it wasn�t for USG home coming wouldn�t be here
[T. Greco] If you�re interested in learning more about Undergraduate Student Government or an organization that would like to get involved in USG you can go to our website at usg.iupui.edu or send us an email at email@example.com.
[C. Jordan] Make an impact here at IUPUI and make sure that your voice is heard
[M. Mosbey] Mark your calendars on Saturday, October 30th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the 2nd Annual IUPUI Fine Arts and Crafts Fair held at the IUPUI Campus Center. Admission is free, and over 50 venders will be showcasing a wide variety of items.
As you may recall, the IUPUI Common Theme recently held No Impact Week, an entire week filled with Common Theme activities, designed to explore the impact of your daily actions on the environment.
[L. Brothers] The Dark Green team are those that have made a commitment to maybe go a little bit beyond what was required for No Impact Week, so in addition to going to the various events on campus; the swap market, the videos that were happening throughout the week, we also committed ourselves to eating locally; we also committed to trying to reduce our carbon footprint the best we could as well and consuming less energy and different initiatives like that.
The biggest role for the Dark Green team, in my perspective, is creating an educational environment for the campus and for our departments in general. I know that University College had their own team, and we did a couple of our own little activities here and there, but it was creating that environment, getting awareness out about the impact that we actually make on our environment.
I think the week went very well. I met all the goals that I had set out for myself, and the thing that I really liked about it is it�s a more conscious way of living. You kind of think about where things come from.
[M. Mosbey] Are you still looking for a student organization to be involved in? A new student organization, Bridge, focuses on important social issues. On Friday, October 8th, you may have noticed several pairs of military boots covering the ground by Democracy Plaza. The travelling exhibition, Eyes Wide Open, was sponsored by four student organizations, including the new student org, Bridge. Visit www.bridgegeneration.org for the details.
Open registration for spring 2011 courses is quickly approaching. Check your registration date on your Onestart account in the Student Center under the Student Self-Service tab. Don\'t know which courses to take in order to fulfill graduation requirements? Make an appointment with your advisor ahead of time to plan your spring 2011 semester.
That�s it for The Spot this week. Be sure to tune in on October 27th for the latest campus news and student activities at jagtv.iupui.edu.
I�m Mitch Mosbey, and thanks for Spotting us!

National politics dominated much of 2012, but state-level issues still merit examination. Yahoo News asked voters to pinpoint issues within their own states that they'd like to see tackled in 2013. Here's one perspective.
COMMENTARY | While the nation faces looming tax hikes, a fiscal cliff, and other popular catastrophes, Connecticut has its own unique problems causing the public to wonder what the heck is going on. Here are the top three for me, heading into 2013:
Medical marijuanais now approved in the state of Connecticut. This means that not only are the people of the state divided on the issue, but now more problems arise. One is the over-reaching power of the federal government and will they use that power to shut down dispensaries. Then the even larger problem for the state of Connecticut is how to get the ball properly rolling in a heavily regulated industry. Right now, prospective patients can register with the state, as reported by Anthony Karge. But that is about it. No doubt it will need massive oversight and regulation. All in all, it should generate a fair amount of revenue for the state, but it cannot generate a single dime in taxes until the regulations are written
Calls to step down to state Rep. Christina Ayala have gradually increased since her first arrest. Now there is a second arrest and the two charges come just two months apart. In August 2012 Ayala was involved in a hit and run where she was the driver a day after winning the Democratic primary. Since Connecticut is so heavily Democratic, Ayala was able to still get elected with that hit and run being at the end of her campaign. Any other candidate in another state would have most likely lost the election. The latest charge is a breach of peace involving Ayala and her boyfriend. She even allegedly tried to use her status as an elected representative to her advantage and coerce the police into leaving without arresting her. The Connecticut Democrat party really needs to lead by example by requesting Ayala resign or face the consequences in the upcoming election. With two arrests now under her belt a Republican challenger might actually have a shot in the next election. If she resigns now, they are more likely to hold that seat.
Racism seen in an anti-gang initiative? Only in a leftwing state like Connecticut will the do-gooders have do-gooder enemies. Critics are complaining that the New Haven-based project is too heavily focused on black residents. According to the New Haven Register, "An aggressive attempt to end gang and gun violence on the city's streets, the new antiviolence initiative 'Project Longevity' has drawn a racially charged reaction from some residents" but has also drawn some praise.
Have those making the charges of racism seen the demographic of New Haven? More importantly, the targeted gang members? It is impossible to have such an initiative without it having the majority of individuals targeted be African-American. Let's hope they are successful with whomever they reach and hope the complainers find something else to focus on tomorrow.

RENO, NV - We will see a few clouds today with more sunshine helping our afternoon high back up to the lower 60°s. Tomorrow is the warmest day of the week. With the warmth comes some wind. Reno can expect gusts up to about 30mph Tuesday afternoon.
A strong cold front comes through early Wednesday morning. There doesn't look like there is much moisture so western Nevada looks dry. But much colder temperatures will be sweeping through.

I have written about Katie Holme and her amazing work rescuing horses. She has now branched out to heal humans with her rescued horses.
As a British nurse, she trained for six years, including two years of psychiatry. She has been a lifelong student of horses and started riding when she was 10 years old. Her nursing skills enabled her to travel around the world to places like Africa, Israel and Germany, where she gained incredible experience and expertise.
Her nursing career ended abruptly in the United States following an attack that left her with severe post traumatic stress disorder. Her journey through the horror of this disorder was made with her rescued horse "Chief," which she rescued 20 years ago. She has since made a complete recovery.
Holme decided to make her life's mission "to pay it forward" and help others suffering. She has 15 horses that she rescued and rehabilitated. They now help her with her work.
A 93-year-old gentleman, a veteran of World War II suffering with some unresolved emotional issues from being a prisoner of war, was helped by a horse named Mr. Snuggles. The gentleman is now writing his autobiography. Another veteran recently back from Afghanistan with PTSD has found peace and balance through the horses. He has now started his own Healing Horses therapy center near his naval base for his Navy buddies.
A beautiful young lady who recently joined the group following the death of her baby girl has adopted three horses and is looking forward to a much brighter future.
Healing Horses therapy sessions are tailored to meet the needs of each individual and they welcome all ages. This therapy helps people heal from many emotional and physical traumas such as post traumatic stress, anxiety and depression, grief, eating disorders and addiction. All therapy sessions are tailored to meet the needs of the individual. There is no riding of the horses; Instead it is about connection on the ground and working in a beautiful peaceful environment with Mother Nature and the horses. All therapy sessions are conducted by one skilled equine facilitator and are private and confidential.
Holme's desire is to spread the word to everyone about the incredible healing potential of the horses and to help alleviate the suffering of humans through Healing Horses.
For more information call Holme at 803-804-0544 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

MILLEDGEVILLE — The Milledgeville-Baldwin County Development Authority began its industry thank you month Tuesday, serving lunch to 300 Mohawk Industries employees.
"Times are tough. The fact is we have these existing industries that are doing well, we need to say thank you. Obviously, losing Shaw and Rheem was a huge detriment, but we still have these other companies here employing people," Development Authority Executive Director Matt Poyner said.
For the next three Tuesdays, Existing Industry Appreciation Month luncheons will finish serving 2,000 total employees at the Industrial Park, Triumph Aerostructures and Blandy Corners.
Sponsors like Georgia Power, Windstream, Green Acres Health and Rehabilitation, the Milledgeville Water and Sewer Department, Tim Ingram from Ingram and Associates on behalf of the county, Century Bank & Trust and Bug House Pest Control help make the appreciation events possible. Tent-Sational Events, the Goodie Gallery and Coca-Cola jumped on board also.
Hormel contributed food donations, while Performance Food Group discounted supplies.
"It's been great to get buy-in from the community and support to do this," Poyner said.
City of Milledgeville and Baldwin County elected officials and staff pitched in alongside Development Authority board members Tuesday.
"It's exciting to see. They stepped up to the plate," Poyner said. "We need these bodies here with happy faces saying thanks for what you are doing."
Milledgeville Mayor Richard Bentley said the appreciation day was a small way to show industries "we know you are here and we support you here."
"Our existing industries are just as important as recruiting new industries. We've been victims of closures over the last several years. It was nothing that we didn't do," the mayor said. "It makes it more important to include existing industries because they will actually employ those people in many cases. We want to make sure we keep them here."

Re: Game-Mode Idea Compilationiloveshotguns May 6, 2012 5:56 PM (in response to Grayewsable)
I really like reinforcements, everything else kind of sounds like HQ or domination. They really need to add a gamemode like spy hunt from combat arms, a good mixture of ffa and team work objective play.
Re: Game-Mode Idea Compilationquickscooper90 May 6, 2012 7:10 PM (in response to iloveshotguns)
I agree Reinforments does sound fun to play and the other ones do resemble Domination and HQ
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationMrNoNam3 May 6, 2012 7:18 PM (in response to iloveshotguns)
I love spy hunt. That would be awesome if they incorporated it into COD. Maybe they could also add the infected mode from combat arms. it's definetly better than the infected mode MW3 currently has...
Re: Game-Mode Idea Compilationjlpayne111 May 10, 2012 8:34 AM (in response to Grayewsable)
ManHunt (Infected Reversed) on Large Maps Only
1 player is the Hunter and 15 other players are Prey
The Hunter have a pistol with one shot kill and motion sensor
The Prey only have thier knifes. with ghost and marathon
The Objective of the games is for the Prey to suvive as long as possible.
Hunter and Prey obbjects changes with each kill. Meaning the when the hunters kills the role of hunter changes to the prey.
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationGrayewsable May 10, 2012 12:49 PM (in response to jlpayne111)
Too slow paced and too adventageous for the Huntsmen as soon as even a small group has formed. This isn't a thread for the submission of other players ideas anyway, just a compilation of my own - not to sound too rude.
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationLivinwinin May 12, 2012 7:42 AM (in response to Grayewsable)
I really like reinforcements
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationBruisedBananas May 13, 2012 5:32 PM (in response to Grayewsable)
Game mode name: Tug of War
Rules and Info: This could only be played on large maps. The map is split up into 4 seperate checkpoints. Two belong to you, two belong to the enemy team. The rules are simple, your entire team must make it past an enemy checkpoint to gain points without any enemies being behind you on your territory at the time.
So say your entire enemy team owns checkpoints 1 and 2. Your team captures 3, so your enemy team has only checkpoint 4. If you were to take checkpoint 4, you would win the round. However, if your entire team advances to check point 3, but even just one enemy is in checkpoint 1 or 2, you will be unable to capture checkpoint 3 until he is killed. If your team is pushed back to check point 1, you must fight the team back to checkpoint 2 to gain some breathing space.
This might be better if there were 6 checkpoints, divided evenly to the two teams. this would only work on large maps.
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationNickNack101 May 13, 2012 5:56 PM (in response to Grayewsable)
Game Mode: Troop Leech
General Premise: The objective is kind of like infected and kill confirmed from mw3 where u have to get dog tags and get everyone on your team. The catch is that in order for the player to spawn on the other team, the dog tag has to be collected. Also, both teams try to steal players from the other team, unlike infected where it was just one team stealing from survivors. Basicly its Kill Confirmed + Infected where both teams are infected. It takes 10 seconds to respawn and it takes 10 seconds until the dog tag dissappears and can no longer be obtained.
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationNickNack101 May 13, 2012 5:58 PM (in response to Grayewsable)
Game Mode: Quickscoping
Do I really need to say anything else
Re: Game-Mode Idea Compilationmrbrightside711 May 30, 2012 6:49 PM (in response to Grayewsable)
The first one sounds like dodgeball.......
Re: Game-Mode Idea Compilationdastealth May 30, 2012 9:37 PM (in response to Grayewsable)
Reinforcements sounds like a really good idea. The only thing I can think of to make it better is the removal of killstreaks from the game unless they were only specialist killstreaks.
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationGrayewsable May 30, 2012 10:15 PM (in response to dastealth)
If Treyarch balance the killstreaks (something that IW seems to have a hard-time accomplishing) then I see no problem. Because of the decrease in recklessness of players due to the respawn mechanic, I'd say less kills are going to be garnered in the same space of time that they normally would in a more hectic Domination or Demolition game, meaning the killstreaks people acquire are going to be of a lower tier - say UAV's, Airstrikes and such.
But hey, if someone gets a 10 killstreak with UAV radar sweeps every 20 seconds, then I think they deserve a decent killstreak.
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationMBLPayne420 Jun 3, 2012 10:21 PM (in response to Grayewsable)

Ill give ya damn playmode. How about a team deathmatch where I don't spawn directly in front of the enemy 4 times a match. How about a team deathmatch where my K/D ratio doesn't get completely ****** because of the spawning. Thats all I want...
Re: Game-Mode Idea Compilationinfineon Jun 4, 2012 11:52 PM (in response to Grayewsable)
I just want Ground war demolition,or atleast more Ground war modes(Ground war moshpit perhaps?)
Re: Game-Mode Idea CompilationSwIpEsTaR Aug 2, 2012 1:42 PM (in response to Grayewsable)
Sleeper Cell. A variation of Hardcore TDM where 1-3 players are secretly on the other team. The goal is to achieve the kill limit for the other team OR find and eliminate the imposter(s) on your team. Sleeper players cannot just turn around and kill everybody when the match starts because they would blow their cover, they would have to methodically pick off their "team". Friendly fire (as this is Hardcore) and the disabling of Killcams equates to trusting nobody, not even your squad. Obviously Mercenary rules would have to apply where clans can't form their own teams, but I think that's a viable mode that should be looked into. Thoughts?

Protecting horses means saving money
If your equine clients are hesitant to spend much on veterinary care for their horses because they're short of cash, here's a few facts you can emphasize to illustrate the importance of preventive care, provided by Merial.
The American Association of Equine Practitioners recommends that all horses be protected from the diseases listed above as part of its core vaccination program. Vaccination against the equine influenza virus, a leading cause of equine respiratory disease, and Potomac horse fever, a potentially fatal disease, may be warranted as well, depending on whether a horse lives in, or has traveled to, an area known to be at an increased risk for these diseases.
So if your equine clients balk about vaccinating their horses because of tight finances, ask them how they can afford not to vaccinate, considering the high risk of contracting a disease and the expensive or even life-threatening result.

|Ezron Bryson Joins Manhattan Sports Medicine Staff
RIVERDALE, N.Y. - Ezron Bryson has been appointed Assistant Director of Sports Medicine at Manhattan College. Bryson comes to Riverdale after two years as a graduate assistant at the University of Michigan.
"I am excited to be part of the Manhattan College community. I look forward to helping Manhattan College reach greater heights and continue its winning tradition," said Bryson.
While at Michigan, Bryson provided care, prevention and rehabilitation of athletes in a number of sports, including football. He was responsible for the maintenance of custom equipment and traveled with the Wolverines to a pair of bowl games. Bryson coordinated the training room at the practice site and team hotel for both the 2011 Gator Bowl and 2012 Sugar Bowl. In addition, he managed the team's drug testing program.
From 2009-10, Bryson worked for the New York Jets, where he helped develop training and rehabilitation programs. He was also responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of the Jets' training room and equipment. Bryson assisted with practice preparation and post-practice recovery, as well.
A 2009 graduate of Hofstra University with a degree in athletic training and minor in physical education and sports sciences, Bryson received a master's degree in sports management from Michigan in April 2012. He is a certified member of the National Athletic Trainers Association, as well as the Michigan Athletic Trainers Society and National Strength and Conditioning Association.
"We are excited about Ezron joining our staff. I am confident that his educational background and experience will make a positive impact on our sports medicine program," said Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine Doug Straley. "We are fortunate to have an athletic trainer of Ezron's caliber join our staff."
He replaces Andrew Cornicello, who left Manhattan to become the Director of Sports Medicine at St. Francis (NY).

I am always on a quest to improve my parenting style and techniques. Recently I was at MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers) meeting and we had a speaker who is professor of child psychology, Dr. Robert Currie. He spoke about children's behavior and how it is all emotionally driven. For instance, when I child is playing and you tell him it's time to go to bed and he says "but why do I have to go to bed?"! The professor was very funny in his acting out of this – and said, now look at my face. Little Johnny is not looking for a logical answer like, well it's late and you need your sleep or any of the other dozen answers any parent would throw at him. He is looking for empathy and validation.
So, one of the things he went over was rewarding good behavior. Now I know this is something we should do, but it seems when they are all behaving and playing nicely…I don't want interrupt and ruin it! Then, of course, after the good behavior time they are into the fighting and my acknowledging the good behavior is out the door. A lot of people at some really cute ideas on how they reward good behavior, dance, high fives, knuckle bump but at the time of the knuckle bump you say out a character name like "bugs bunny" and then after the knuckle bump act out the character.
Another suggestion that some one uses is using marbles. On good behavior days the child can earn 2 marbles a day, for bad behavior a marble is taken away and on Fridays, if their chores are kept up with all week long, they get an extra marble. When they fill up their marble jar they can then chose a prize. The child writes a list of "want" items – could be toys, board games, electronic games, a dinner of their choice, going out to eat, a playdate…whatever, within reason, is on their list. I actually did try this years ago with my oldest daughter Megan, and I don't remember it working very well, but I figured we would give it another try. The twins are 4 so they may be on the young end, but I think they are old enough to know when they are following the rules and not following them.
Today, the kids made out their lists and then we went to the hobby store for beads and containers. It just so happens that today all of the kids, especially my dear little Anna, had really bad behavior – lot of arguing, sassyness, not listening…etc. So this evening, on the way home from "pizza night" at my sister and brother in laws, Megan asked about doing the marbles tonight – I told her that we should probably wait until tomorrow since no one would be earning a marble today.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better "first" day for the marbles!

I couldn't say enough to encourage other potential clients to engage David for your real estate needs.

Listed and sold a home
We have bought and sold several houses over the past ten years and always made money on the transactions. This last one was different. We had listed with another agency and had been unable to sell. After 6 months of lots of showings but no offers, when the listing expired, we called David Z. We were in a state of denial with respect to our perceived value of our home. David Z sat down with us, reviewed several comps and gave us a more realistic idea of our home's worth in the present market. He proposed a marketing plan and we decided to list with him. We sold the house in a little over two months. We are very thankful we chose David Z to list our home. Thankyou David Z. Dave & Glenda Freeman Less ... More

With upwards of 5 million human lives lost worldwide to tobacco use each and every year, it is clear that nicotine addiction is a powerful opponent. It alters brain chemistry, and manufacturers manipulate nicotine in tobacco products to increase its addictive properties in an effort to hold on to their customer base.
To make matters worse, most of us have spent decades building up associations with tobacco use as well, making the task of breaking our ties to nicotine even more formidable.
So, Why Use Nicotine to Get Off of Nicotine?
On the surface, it might seem like a bad idea to use nicotine replacement therapy (NRTs), which contain nicotine, to help us recover from nicotine addiction. However, while they are risky if used inappropriately, NRTs can work well when manufacturer's directions are followed carefully.
Nicotine replacement therapy offers some important benefits as a quit aid:
- NRTs reduce nicotine dependence gradually.
Nicotine withdrawal is not a pleasant state for anyone, regardless of how much we might want to quit smoking. NRTs allow us to wean ourselves off of nicotine in a controlled way, thereby easing the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. By the time the course of nicotine replacement therapy is complete, the amount of nicotine taken in on a daily basis is so small that stopping the NRT causes little, if any discomfort.
- NRTs help us focus attention on the habits associated with smoking.
Apart from physical recovery from nicotine addiction, we must also begin the work of dealing with the feelings associated with our cigarettes -- the habit side of smoking. For most of us, this is where the real "work" of smoking cessation lies. NRTs let us turn our attention more fully on healing the habits we've built up around nicotine addiction by easing the physical discomforts we feel early on.
- NRTs are medically-endorsed.
Because nicotine replacement therapy was developed as a smoking cessation aid, it comes with a medically endorsed treatment plan that recommends support in addition to drug therapy.
Numerous national and global health organizations, including the American Lung Association, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society and the World Health Organization support the use of NRTs to stop smoking.
If you follow the manufacturer's directions carefully and wean yourself off of the NRT used in the time recommended, your risk of addiction is small.
Regardless of what we do in life, most things carry some level of risk. NRTs are no different. Understand the potential for misuse; follow the treatment plan exactly, fortify your quit program with plenty of support, including the advice and help of your doctor, and you'll do just fine.

How to Dry Your Hands in a Public Bathroom
Edited by Fisherx12, Wrwtte, BriDGeT, Teresa and 6 others
It might seem simple, but drying your hands in a public restroom can be a hard task for some people.
1When done washing your hands, make sure they don't have any soap left.Ad
2Go to the paper towel dispenser or dryer.
3If the bathroom has a dryer, then dry your hands and leave. It's better to use the dryer then the paper towel dispenser because it doesn't waste trees. Simple.
- But...If there's only paper towel dispensers, you use them.
- BUT if there is no more paper towels in the dispenser, you have 4 options:
- It might seem gross, but most people don't use much of the paper towel when drying. Go into the garbage and quickly find a dry, unused paper towel. Do not take a wet or crumpled up one.
- Go into one of the stalls and use the toilet paper to dry your hands.
- Shake out your hands in the air.
- Dry your hands on your clothes, do not attempt if you're wearing something that the water will show on.
- Whether you are in a public or private bathroom, don't overlook the benefit of using the clothes on your body as a towel. Not only is it quicker and more sanitary (assuming your clothes are clean), it's also greener as you are not throwing towels into a landfill.
- When trying B, people might get freaked out when they see you leaning over, getting toilet paper with the door wide open.
- Make sure no one is looking when you try A, B, or D, especially your mom, sibling, or relative.

Free and Reduced Meals
Applications for Free and Reduced priced meals can be obtained at your child's school. Parents are responsible for the full price of all meals until their application has been processed and a determination has been made. We do our best to process the applications as timely as possible; usually in a couple of days however, the beginning of the school year can take as long as 10 business days from the time the Food and Nutrition office receives the application. A determination letter will be mailed to everyone who applies to inform them of the determination.
Please note that a new application must be completed for every new school year.
Food Safety
The kitchen staff takes food safety very seriously. We have monthly training on both food and physical safety for our staff. We do this because we want to serve food that is safe in a kitchen that is safe for our staff and our students.
To support the training and keep safety in our daily habits, we perform Food Safety and Physical Safety audits in every kitchen every month. In addition to those internal audits, the El Paso County Health Department performs annual audits in the schools in Fountain and the US Army performs multiple audits in the schools on Fort Carson.

Hello everyone, and thank you for stopping by to check out my profile. My name is Patrick O, and I am a senior undergrad student at California State University, Long Beach. Right now I am one semester away from graduating with a B.A. in American Studies. I plan on continuing my education at CSULB as I will be pursuing a single subject teaching credential to teach US History at the high school level. Since 8th grade, I have taken a great interest in United States History having performed very well in relevant courses in high school and college. As an American Studies student, I have the opportunity to look at various elements of the American lifestyle (history, music, art, literature, and politics) and how they have helped to shape what it means to be American. Having completed a majority of my college education, I have developed proficient writing and research skills, which I can use to assist students who are struggling with writing historical research papers. Having passed my US History, World History, and Government classes with a B or Higher, I am able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in those given subject areas. To assist students, I am willing to use some of the resources I have gathered throughout my college tenure including class notes, PowerPoint presentations, and textbooks.

Even the prices of hidden cameras and surveillance cameras have become more affordable. Of course when purchasing a hidden or security camera-do not go by price alone. A wired black and white hidden camera may be very affordable, but may not have the features you need to accomplish what you plan for your camera security. Rather look at the features of the camera-if to be outside, choose a model that is designed to withstand changes in weather and temperature. If inside, be sure the model you choose can operate in both high and low light especially if using for security purposes as vandalism rarely occurs in broad daylight. The best course of action is to speak with a security specialist as to the best camera and best price available so you are happy with your purchase and not disappointed if you choose a camera that does not live up to your expectations due to price alone.
Hidden cameras can be set up strategically in a place which you feel is the most advantageous spot for surveillance security. Hidden cameras can be used for a variety of reasons-of course security. They also can tell you how your child's nanny cares for your child. If you suspect any untoward behavior-don't wait-get a camera set up now to protect your child from being harmed or improperly cared for. The same goes for the elderly as elderly caregivers also can be monitored. Many elderly are incapable of expressing themselves and cannot tell you if they are being mistreated but a video can.
Perhaps you have teenagers in the home and want to see what is going on when you can't be there. Again, a hidden camera is ideal for "getting the picture" when you can't be right there and for seeing what really goes on when you aren't home. Teenagers may not appreciate the video, but moms and dads will be all the wiser for this video.
Maybe you have pets at home and just want to see what they are doing when you are not there or maybe you suspect they are chewing things up and doing what dogs and cats can do when they are left alone. Many animals when left alone feel the need to "get even" with the owner and you can catch this behavior on video then consult a vet or animal specialist to see about how to stop these behaviors from reoccuring.
I'm sure by now you get the picture-there are many and varied uses for hidden cameras and surveillance cameras and I'm sure there is a camera that can meet your special needs. We at Best Protection are always available to answer any questions you may have- we can be reached at 863-514-3708. If you just want to browse our camera selection, that is fine too-we can be found at Best Protection: http://www.personalsecuritycompany.com and Best Protection/Surveillance: http://www.electronicsurveillancecompany.com. Once you look our cameras over, don't hesitate to call if you now have questions. We hope this information helps you with your decision to purchase a hidden camera or surveillance camera and wish you the best with your endeavor.

Better late than never, right? As I post this, Monday is almost over. At least I have a plan for food the rest of the week. While GigglyGirl was doing her ballet this afternoon, BusyBoy became ill in the car. He has had a cold and it seems his coughing made him sick to his stomach. Ugh! Cleaning him, his soiled clothes, and his car seat kind of put a crimp in our evening plans. He was feeling much better before bed and wanted to stall bedtime by doing his homework, which is not due until Friday.
My dad is having MAJOR foot surgery tomorrow (Tuesday morning). They are moving the tendon from his big toe to his heel. I had ankle surgery several years ago and it the pain from it was 100 times worse than the c-section from the twins. His surgery is much more involved than mine was so I know he is going to be in a great deal of pain. Please keep him, his surgery, and his recovery in your prayers.
Alas, here is this week's menu plan!
Monday: BusyBoy was feeling a bit under the weather this afternoon so he and GigglyGirl just had pasta. Mr. Right and I had takeout.
Tuesday: Taco Salad made with Turkey Chili (This has been on the menu twice recently and I have not made it. This time I am bound and determined to make it and have enough leftover to freeze!)
Wednesday: Cubed Steak, Mr. Right's Signature Potato Casserole, and broccoli
Thursday: Chicken and Squash Bake (I just saw this recipe today. Man does it look good or what! I hope it is half as delicious and it looks!!)
Friday: Breakfast for Dinner – French Toast
Saturday: Leftover Buffet

While many have fretted over the potential absences of Ramon Foster and LaMarr Woodley for this Sunday's game, the Steelers could be without another one of their starters according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Three starters — Woodley, Keisel, Foster — not expected to play against Lions. Keisel's foot got worse as week wore on.His return is iffy.
— Gerry Dulac (@gerrydulac) November 15, 2013
Keisel has plantar fasciitis, of which there's no sure-fire, quick remedy. Pain is in the heel. Anyone who's had it knows the discomfort.
— Gerry Dulac (@gerrydulac) November 15, 2013
The loss of Brett Keisel would definitely be a blow to Pittsburgh's front-seven on the defensive side of the ball. "The Beard" has started all nine of Pittsburgh's games at the right defensive end position, and he has racked up 25 tackles, 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery during the team's 3-6 start.
Even if Keisel does suit up for this weekend's game, the fact that he is suffering from the nagging foot injury which Dulac alluded to will probably force the coaching staff to hand extended playing time to Ziggy Hood and Al Woods.
Hood, who lost his starting job to Cameron Heyward earlier this year will probably receive a bulk of the projected reps due to his experience. The former first round pick has yet to live up to his billing since he entered the league in 2009, and he will need to capitalize on all of the playing time he receives down the stretch in what is currently the final season of his rookie contract.
Thoughts on his replacements aside, Pittsburgh will probably still be at a disadvantage in the trenches with Keisel limited by his foot injury. The Steelers' run defense is still ranked 28th (average yards per game allowed) and the pocket collapse from the entire defense has been inconsistent at best this year to boot (16.0 sacks, 28th).

The international summer festival circuit is full of contenders, celebrating cultures and subcultures while hustling for global vacation dollars. For musicians, festivals mean exposure, a paycheck and a rolling party of peers. For communities, they're a revenue engine and self-promotion platform. For music-hungry fans, they're vacation anchors, or vacations unto themselves.

There is no one definition of a summer book. It can be a 1,000-page biography, a critically acclaimed literary novel, a memoir everyone is talking about — or it might be your favorite guilty pleasure: romance, crime, science fiction. Whatever you choose, it should be able to sweep you away to another world, because there is nothing like getting totally lost in a book on summer day. Here are a few books that swept away some of our favorite critics.
These days, it's often noted that food has displaced art, sport and even sex as the literary mind's propulsive muse. The single cookie that launched poor Proust on his interior odyssey feels shockingly modest compared with the vast smorgasbord today's writers seem almost compelled to revel in.
