Rebecca (1940)
Manderlay's housekeeper Mrs. Danvers is 31st on AFI's Top Villain list, in this movie about expectations & disillusionment. It was the first film Alfred Hitchcock made in Hollywood, his only one to win Best Picture; he never won a Best Director Oscar! David O. Selznick's second straight BP Oscar and the first of only THREE Hitchcock films he produced after initially luring him to Hollywood with a FOUR picture, $800,000 contract. The other two were Spellbound (1945) and The Paradine Case (1947), which both starred recently deceased Gregory Peck. In case you care, Notorious (1946) (produced by Hitchcock himself) was counted as the fourth picture in the contract. The film also won for B&W Cinematography, and received nine more nominations including for leads Laurence Olivier & Joan Fontaine, Judith Anderson's Support as Mrs. Danvers, and Screenplay Writing. George Sanders, Gladys Cooper, Nigel Bruce, Reginald Denny, C. Aubrey Smith, and Leo G. Carroll round out the cast.
Widower Olivier brings his new wife (Fontaine) home to his mansion named Manderlay, "run" by Anderson, who isn't the only servant in the house who resents the intrusion on his former wife's memory. Her husband fails to adequately reassure her, and the tension builds throughout the film towards its tragic ending.

The New Orleans Saints were double digit favorites over the Detroit Lions yet the Saints enter halftime losing to Detroit, 14-10. The first half story lines include the Lions passing offense, which has been solid, and the Saints' turnovers, which they've done twice.
Matthew Stafford has completed 14-of-22 passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He hasn't turned it over and they've been picking up yards in big chunks. Calvin Johnson has five of those receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown. The Lions offense has been playing well enough to win, and maybe that could (as long as Stafford continues playing turnover-free football).
The Saints have turned it over twice in the first half -- a first quarter Marques Colston fumble and the Drew Brees fumble. The fumble by Brees was close but it appeared the officials got it right ruling it a fumble. The Saints offense has been moving the ball but they just can't punch it in.
The Saints haven't lost at home this season so the Lions are trying to do what no one else has done this season.

Simply beautiful, this solitaire engagement ring is crafted in 14k white gold with a design that rises to frame your centre diamond. The inside edges are rounded for comfort.
A very good looking ring, very delicate and gentle. An extremely good choice within the lower budget range.
Anonymous, Svishtov – August 2014
My fiancee and i had chosen a highstreet engagement ring but the diamond had a big inclusion,which the jeweller called natures footprint and refused to do anything about,as you can imagine i was very upset . I wanted a diamond that could become a family heirloom and that i was proud to wear. Bluenile gave me just that and at an amazing price, a brilliant fast service and free postage. Thankyou very much,x
teresa, Newton Abbot, Devon – January 2013
the ring was liked by all. it was well made with good design offsetting the lovely stone.

My interests can be best described as integrative and developmental-contextual-resiliency in emphasis. I am particularly intrigued by the ways in which development unfolds within the family and community contexts where transitions, risk, and resiliency can serve as catalysts for latter adjustments and/or maladjustments/psychopathology. A foundational aspect to these developmental processes rests upon a commitment to and an understanding of the expression of cultural variables and contributions to health and well-being from an indigenous-community and cross-cultural psychology perspective.
Teaching Interests:
My teaching interests include the following: Undergraduate: Psyc 258 Children & Trauma Psyc 321 Human Development: Lifesspan Psyc 492/592 Special Topics: Infant, Childhood, & Adolescent Mental Health Graduate: Psyc 751 Psychological Assessment I Psyc 752 Psychological Assessment II Psyc 722 Developmental Seminar Psyc 779 Child Psychopathology
Research Interests:
Accordingly, the Skillman Research Team focuses upon topics such as: the pathways of help-seeking in families and young adults; exploring cultural protective factors in the adjustment and well-being of Native American/Alaskan Native community members; and the development and/or use of culturally appropriate assessment tools with diverse populations. The research team uses both quantitative and qualitative methodologies in addressing these areas of inquiry. While my primary research interests continue to be in the above areas, a central point of emphasis has shifted to wellness, resiliency, and an integrative view of health and mental health within a developmental-positive psychology framework. I am particularly fascinated by the socialization and contextualization of wellness of emerging adults.

Emergency Department Management of Acute Heart Failure: Research Challenges and Opportunities
Executive Summary
This working group was organized by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to address the challenges of managing acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) in the emergency department (ED). The purpose of the meeting was to provide an interdisciplinary forum on promising and novel life saving AHFS therapies in the ED and to provide clinical research recommendations to the NHLBI regarding research directions that will best address the most critical areas in ED AHFS management. The working group provided the unique opportunity to bring together experts from both cardiology and emergency medicine. The workshop was held at the Cloister Conference Center, NIH, Bethesda, MD, on August 20-21, 2009.
Management of AHF in ED Setting: A Unique Opportunity to Improve Care and Survival
The participants agreed that there is a critical need for evidence-based management of AHFS in the ED setting. Most of the existing therapies for AHFS have not been tested rigorously or prospectively and most current therapies are used based on the experience and the opinions of experts (Level of Evidence C). In addition, most new therapies and technologies have not fulfilled the expectations to significantly improve either acute or long-term survival.
Two major management concepts were discussed: 1) the need for the early identification of patients who are at low vs. higher risk, allowing direct discharge from the ED for those at low risk and direct admission from the ED for those at high risk who do not respond to therapy; and, 2) the need for better understanding of early injury to both the heart and other organs, the contribution of this injury to the pathophysiology of AHFS, and the impact it may have on potential response to therapy in the ED setting.
Future therapeutic interventions are likely to come from the frontiers of molecular medicine, basic cardiovascular sciences, pharmacology, epidemiology, new diagnostic techniques, and technological advances. However, these therapies need to be tested using appropriate study designs with a special focus on timing, route of administration and co-administration of other drugs. The new approach to AHFS management will require integration and close collaboration among diverse clinical disciplines, including emergency medicine, cardiology, and critical care, as well as basic sciences and biotechnology. The working group believed that close multi-disciplinary collaboration would improve the understanding of early AHFS physiology and facilitate research that would lead to more evidence-based practices in the ED.
To advance AHFS management and improve morbidity and mortality the group recommended the following specific actions:
Publication Plans
The proceedings of the workshop will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

The Alabama game against Missouri found a sudden delay when the weather turned sour on Saturday. With around 8 minutes left in the second quarter, officials decided that the weather had become too dangerous at Faurot Field and delayed the game.Many fans were seen leaving the stadium due to the weather and possibly the score. At that point in the game, Alabama had just scored a touchdown to set the score at 27-0. The delay lasted for 38 minutes before gameplay resumed. Upon returning to the field, Alabama's Jeremy Shelley kicked the extra point.Copyright 2012 WBRC. All rights reserved.

If you're a baseball fan looking to add a new pastime to your vacation itinerary, consider setting a goal to visit all 30 of the sport's major league stadiums.
I began my crusade about five years ago, joining a growing number of other zealots making the pilgrimage to baseball's cathedrals.
It has become such a popular pursuit that you can buy baseball-stadium maps to document where you have been and plot where you still need to go. The one decorating my den shows I'm halfway through my odyssey, with 14 more fields of dreams still to be seen. If you need more memorabilia, there's also a book called The Major League Baseball BallPark Pass-Port that provides tips about each stadium, with slots to file ticket stubs and a place to "validate" each visit with a rubber stamp.
But all you really need is a love of baseball and a passion for exploring new places to relish this journey.
All the baseball teams are based in cities with engrossing things to do and savory places to eat when you aren't attending a game. These attractions should help the cause of fans trying to recruit a spouse or other traveling teammates who may not appreciate the pleasures of the game.
My tour already has introduced me to things that wouldn't have been on my radar if I hadn't booked a trip to see a stadium.
When I went to St. Louis to visit Busch Stadium in 2010, I rented a car one day and made the two-hour drive to Samuel Clemens' childhood home in Hannibal, the Mississippi River village that inspired Mark Twain's best-known booksabout the childhood adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The Hannibal visit had a ripple effect when I went to Boston to see Fenway Park, prompting me to rent another car to drive to Hartford, Conn., to visit the custom-built home where he spent the happiest and most productive years of his adult life.
When I went to Baltimore to see a game at Camden Yards, I took a water taxi out to Fort McHenry in the Chesapeake Bay to tour the site where Francis Scott Key watched American troops in 1814 thwart an all-night fusillade by English ships.
Many of the stadiums are landmarks in their own right. My favorite stops so far have been baseball's oldest stadiums, Fenway Park (opened in 1912), and Wrigley Field (originally known as Weeghman Park when it opened in 1914) in Chicago. Both are located in wonderful neighborhoods that turn into street festivals during the three or four hours leading up to the game.
The stadiums of more recent vintage all have their merits too, largely because so many were built to evoke a sense of nostalgia. This retro movement started in 1992 when Baltimore's Camden Yards opened.
When drawing up your travel plans, strive to arrange your stadium visits so they coincide with your favorite team's trips to the same destinations.
My favorite stadium sojourns so far have included my favorite team, the Oakland Athletics. Those trips gave me a chance to wear my green-and-gold Athletics' gear in hostile territory, which has led to lively repartee with the fans of the local team. Try to get tickets behind your team's dugout on the road.When I finally cross the final big-stadium off my list in a few years, I am going to have to find a new quest. Well, I hear there are lots of quaint minor-league baseball stadiums located in rustic towns all across America…

Horrible histories are history
The best-selling children's series Horrible Histories is no more as Sunderland author Terry Deary said it had "naturally come to an end."
The books, which have sold more than 25m copies and inspired a hit television show, mix catchy comedy songs with some of the most gruesome stories from history.
Deary has written around 60 books in the series including Ruthless Romans, Cut-Throat Celts and Terrifying Tudors.
– Terry Deary, speaking to The Times newspaper
It has naturally come to an end, the way things do.
It has had a good run - it's had a better run than most children's series.Things do have a saturation point after which they become taken for granted.
It would be a shame if that happened.

Rich Lowry: Sharpton Will 'Never Be President Because He Can't Read a Teleprompter'
National Review's Rich Lowry took a couple of shots at new MSNBC host Al Sharpton Saturday.
As the panel of "Fox News Watch" discussed the controversial Reverend's new show, Lowry quipped, "We know he'll never be President of the United States because he can't read a teleprompter" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
Of course, that was also a rib at Barack Obama,
But Lowry wasn't done, for he followed it up by saying, "This is a guy, he makes Ed Schultz look like an elder statesman."
Indeed, and the folks at MSNBC including Schultz and Sharpton should all be deeply embarrassed.

I just happened to watch some of that today after many blow outs in football. I can't under stand for the like of me why they keep asking the opinion of that dumbass Alan Colmes. Only thing I can figure is that the signed one hell of contract with Fox years ago so they have to use him on occasion. The man is an idiot.

Sharpton is a farce.
Submitted by BoilerFan on Sat, 09/03/2011 - 5:19pm.
I realize that the executives at MSNBC were increasingly feeling the heat from their fellow liberals (white and black, alike) for their "lack of diversity" (in terms of the race/ethnicity of the cable network's featured hosts in or near primetime), but hiring Sharpton was/is a farce. There were plenty of liberal black talking heads that would have been far more viable for that position. Five minutes is about all I can take watching any show on that joke-of-a-network. Two or three minutes seems to be my limit when Reverand Al's ugly, arrogant, race-baiting mug is looking back at me.
Nice subtle two-fer by Rich Lowry, hitting Sharpton and President Zero with one quick, broad-fisted jab. Couldn't help but smile when I learned about Rich's comment. That was just the sort of sharp comment his old boss, the late WFB, Jr., would have made. I'm sure Buckley, from somewhere just beyond the Pearly Gates, is enjoying some fine wine and grinning from ear to ear this afternoon.

As an SEC alumni and fan for 35+ years, I (almost) always cheer for the SEC. However, since my son just graduated from USF, I have been a fan of theirs for a few years . . . victories over Miami, Auburn, FL State and numerous other "name" teams have been the norm for the past five years or so. All of these wins came on-the-road! A real up-and-coming team to watch . . .

I tried to get my son in law, he's from Mt. Vernon. IN, to give up on ND. I wanted him to pull for Indiana. Kevin Wilson, the new head coach there, is a former Tarheel. We both grew in the same town and played for the mighty Maiden (NC) HS Blue Devils. He also is a first cousin to my bother in law. Sorry Boiler fan I'll have to pull for the Hoosiers this season against all opponents.

Hey, no hard feelings, Rick. I respect your personal ties in that situation. And to tell you the truth, unlike some of my fellow Boiler fans (who never pull for IU in ANY sport), I almost always root for IU, except when they're playing the Boilermakers or if a game they're playing has some sort of bowl implications for Purdue (which we probably aren't going to have to worry about this year).

I survived a nasty storm in Notre Dame stadium.
Submitted by BoilerFan on Sat, 09/03/2011 - 7:05pm.
The most miserable weather conditions I ever experienced in a football game was a Purdue game against Notre Dame (I think it was back in 2006). Brady Quinn and Jeff Samardzija pretty much played "pitch and catch" for the early part of the game, building a three touchdown lead. And then the skies opened up, dumping the hardest rain I've ever sat through. While there was some lightening off in the distance and the rain was truly pouring down, the stadium officials didn't order anybody to leave the stands. But several people (the cowards) gave up and went down into the concourse until it let up. Between the soggy field and large deficit, Purdue never really had a chance to mount a serious comeback; they lost by 14.
To top it off, the car we took to South Bend (belonging to a good friend of mine, an engineer) wouldn't start. Took several hours to get the bloody thing repaired and make it back to Lafayette. A miserable day in many respects. But, hey, I have to admit the Notre Dame campus is extremely impressive. And the setting, stadium, pre- and post-game traditions are truly a sight to see and experience. All true college football fans need to make the journey to ND, if for no other reason than to cross if off of their "bucket list."

Misc. Thoughts...
Submitted by BoilerFan on Sat, 09/03/2011 - 6:27pm.
Thirty seconds of the Rev. Al? Is that all? Good Lord, man, you need to toughen up a bit. :)
To tell you the truth, I'm not surprised at all with the events in South Bend. I'm sure the Fighting Irish probably took South Florida too lightly. The bottom line is that today's Notre Dame isn't the same powerhouse university that used to put the "fear of God" into teams that made the journey to South Bend. There's simply too much parity in college football in the modern era for anybody to take another team lightly, home or away. Speaking of the "fear of God," I have to wonder if Notre Dame fans weren't tickled to death with the arrival of the severe thunderstorm, which might give the Irish a chance to get their act together during the delay. Answered prayers???
Speaking of which, my Boilers barely slipped by that college football powerhouse, Middle Tennessee State earlier this afternoon. Trailed for most of the game, but came back to win it on a touchdown with less than a minute to play...and preserved the win by blocking a MTS field goal attempt on the final play.
BTW...I really like the Thomas Sowell quote. He's definitely my favorite author. I've devoured more than a dozen of Sowell's books. He's a true genius. I still believe "A Conflict of Visions" is the most original book on political philosophy that I've read in decades, with Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" a close second.

At the DNC conventions Al was giving his sermon/speech and the reporter who has a rope line interview after he was done asked how he could continue with no notes for 20 minutes after the teleprompter broke and never came back on. Can't remember the answer but that was just what Al does. He can talk for hours on everything as long as there is not one specific topic and well researched focused grouped talking points that he has to hit every few minutes. Which are feed into the Teleprompter right from Center for American progress, the DNC, and the WH.
Most people who talk in public with monologues for a living such as Rush, Glenn, Levin and Al don't need a well prepare script. When they are on scripts and try hard to stay to them "resist we much" is the outcome. When they do have a script most just get tossed and the whole thing is ad libbed but then they might miss the required talking points with are a requirement at MSNBC so resist we much.

Black leaders want to sound intelligent but not actually have intelligence. I dealt with that crapola every day of my life and still do. Because of moronic black leaders like Sharpton I have to carry the burden of being an idiot too! Thank God for people like Alan West and Condi Rice who actually ARE intelligent.

I Live in Cambridge Now
After travelling solo and living out of suitcases for a week through London and Oxford, I finally have my clothing on hangers here in Cambridge. After visiting some friends at English universities, I can finally call one of them my home.
So far, I love it. I could live here forever, biking along these narrow streets on sunny days such as today (though I'm told the sunny is a fluke— whatever, losers.)
But I've been listening to the songs Some Constellation and HEERS (by the one and only hometown sensation makin' it big around the world Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin) on repeat. I wonder if my subconscious is trying to tell me something.
Stories to come on InTransit, too, friends. I'll try to tone down the cursing, as apparently it makes my mother sad. And after moving thousands of miles away, that's the last thing I want to do.

PEPPERELL -- "All gave some, some gave all." This was the prevailing theme of much of the discussion at the Global War on Terrorism Monument Committee's monthly meeting on Saturday. The committee voted to solidify their mission statement, incorporating the phrase that has come to represent military service nationwide.
Army Sgt. First Class Mike Levesque submitted the statement for approval after Lee Rich of Dario Designs suggested at last month's meeting that the statement should incorporate a personal point of view of the committee members who served in the military.
The finalized mission statement reads "GWOT (Global War on Terrorism) is an organization of Pepperell-area veterans dedicated to the construction and preservation of a public monument honoring those veterans who have served in Theater Post 9/11 and were awarded a campaign medal. GWOT recognizes the invaluable support given and sacrifices made by the families and the communities of those who have served, as well as the premise that 'all gave some, some gave all.'"
The fundraising subcommittee is beginning the process of organizing a banquet at the VFW. Member Jean Connolly suggested the venue, which is free for members. She booked the hall for the tentative date of April 6, but is waiting to hear back from Post Commander Bob Hill on the tentative date of March 16. Lorri and Chapel Guarnieri of Pepperell also volunteered a barn on their property for a Memorial Day fundraising event.
During design brainstorming, the committee also discussed incorporating the concept of "All gave some, some gave all" into the monument itself, including potentially engraving the words on the monument. As part of a brainstorming session, Chairman Bobby Connolly mentioned that, although he's not sold on the idea for the design, a particularly powerful image of his time overseas is of a comrade hanging dog tags on a field cross. The idea of a field cross was discussed at last month's meeting, but several members were hesitant about the concept. The committee plans for the memorial to represent all veterans, living and deceased, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan; field crosses represent lives lost in action.
"I'm for and against a field cross. It does make more people think of the deceased than it does of the living," said Connolly.
However, the inclusion of the military member standing in remembrance may be a way to incorporate the living.
"It's a field cross, but it's not at the same time," said Marine Cpl. Kevin Hayes.
Hayes said the emotion he hoped to evoke with the monument was partly in memory of those who lost their lives overseas, but also a message of carrying on.
"I want to stop and reflect and remember everything that happened, and the fallen. But I want to remember when I'm leaving. I want to live my life to the fullest. It's good to remember you've also got to live for them at end of the day," said Hayes.
Marine Sgt. Adam Taylor said although he didn't feel strongly one way or the other, field crosses can generally be associated with any war.
Other ideas included incorporating five paths to the monument, one representing each branch of the military, and adding ghost images of Iraq and Afghanistan to the background of the monument. Rich suggested incorporating geography.
"I like the idea of being able to visit the monument and ask a soldier who's there, 'Where were you?'"
The committee agreed to take a field trip to the tentative site adjacent to the rotary at next month's meeting for inspiration. Prior to that, the committee is planning to contact the Board of Selectmen to be put on its Jan. 14 meeting agenda to ask for approval to use the location.
The committee is also moving forward with becoming a 501c3 nonprofit organization, currently waiting on its attorney.

New Veri-Site™ program offers proactive way to combat online ad piracy
AUSTIN, Texas, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Veri-Site™ today announced the launch of its new Veri-Site Certification™ program for ad networks and publishers seeking to mitigate risk of doing business with rogue websites. Tremor Video, an advertising technology company elevating brand performance across all screens for the world's leading brands and publishers, is the first to have its network Veri-Site Certified™.
The Veri-Site Certification program offers a proprietary solution for uncovering and profiling rogue websites to prevent ad dollars from flowing improperly to the wrong sites. Designed for companies like Tremor Video that distribute a high volume of online ads for clients, Veri-Site Certification covers a wide spectrum of risk including intellectual property (IP) infringement and pirated content. By using Veri-Site's data, advertisers can add these known sites to "do not advertise" lists in order to limit potential for ad dollars to flow improperly to rogue sites.
"By 2016, more than 50 percent of ad buys will be programmatic, meaning advertisers will have less control over which ads appear on which sites and making Veri-Site Certification even more necessary," said Gianpaolo Sinicropi, head of business development for the Americas at Veri-Site. "By becoming Veri-Site Certified, Tremor Video is proactively working to protect their clients' brands while taking a stand against ad-supported piracy, and we're thrilled they have signed on to our program."
Tremor Video will now have access to Veri-Site's full database of known rogue websites, complete with daily updates and the ability to create block lists, vet websites and request further research on questionable sites not yet profiled by the Veri-Site team.
"At Tremor Video we aim to provide the safest experiences for our advertising and publishing partners," said Katie Seitz Evans, VP of Strategy and Operations. "Being Veri-Site Certified gives us the data to further ensure the high standards of quality that our company and our clients require, are maintained. We feel this type of certification and access to data will become an industry standard, and we are pleased to be at the forefront of its implementation."
While shutting down rogue websites oftentimes is not possible due to the complexity of the networks, Veri-Site's research has proven that a "follow-the-money" approach is the best way of combatting these types of sites.
"Until recently, there hasn't been a product that offered a comprehensive list of rogue websites that engage in high-risk online activity," Sinicropi said. "What we're offering through Veri-Site Certification is a way for ad networks to cut off revenue for these sites by controlling where their ads are placed and how they monitor campaigns to prevent potentially image-tarnishing ad placements from taking place."
The Veri-Site Certified seal will be prominently displayed on partner company websites and other material to further reinforce commitment to combatting online advertising piracy. The subscription-based program includes access to a continually updated database of rogue websites and unlimited access to Veri-Site researchers and experts.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Ever heard the saying that a woman's place is in the house...and the Senate, too? Sure you have. It's been around since the '70s -- so long that now it's just a corny feminist joke instead of a rousing slogan. But maybe it's time to start the fist pump again, because when it comes to public life, we women are still tragically underrepresented. Upset? Don't call your local Congressperson about it -- there's an 83 percent chance your rep is a man, even though more than half this country's population is female. And your governor? Nah. He's almost certainly a he as well.
Call on yourself instead. It's time for you -- for all of us -- to get off the sidelines and into public life. There's no better time than in an election year, but really, making your community and country a better place is worth attempting on an everyday basis. The happy news is it's easier than you might think. Even the President of the United States has some ideas for you. In an exclusive interview, Ladies' Home Journal Editor-in-Chief Sally Lee sat down with President and Mrs. Obama to talk about how women can step up and take charge. Here's a sneak peek:
How can we get more women to be leaders, whether in Washington or on their home turf?
Michelle Obama: We have to start with them while they're young and instill in girls a sense of confidence. That's why sports are so important. They teach you how to compete -- how to fall down and get back up. And there are organizations like the Girl Scouts: They nurture self-confidence and give girls the chance to practice being in charge. We've got to give young women the opportunities to be leaders.
President Obama: It's easier for boys to imagine themselves being President. They see themselves as being in charge. Girls are socialized to think about other people more. I want Malia and Sasha to feel confident about expressing their opinions. And if they're good at something I want them to have the confidence to step up and shine. I don't want them to lose their empathy and stop thinking about other people, because that's an important part of leadership, too. But I don't want them to be wallflowers.
Michelle Obama: We talk about this a lot, obviously. But it's not just about what we want for our girls...we also think about the girls who grew up like we grew up: in working-class neighborhoods where they didn't have sports programs. Or in a single-parent home. They need to be encouraged, too. Choices and options shouldn't be limited to...
President Obama: ...folks of a certain income bracket.
Do you think we are missing out by not having more women in office?
President Obama: I think voters are hungry for women's leadership. I think they recognize that women oftentimes have a more well rounded view of what American families are going through. I think they trust women candidates, and women leaders, to do the right thing, as opposed to being in it because of blind ambition. My hope is that each successive generation sees more and more women taking the risk.
Mr. President, what is it about your wife that makes people sit up and listen to her?
President Obama: Well, she's very smart. She's a wonderful speaker. She's very cute.
Michelle Obama: Thanks for this question. I wanted to see what he had to say [laughs].
President Obama: Having said all those things, the quality I love most about her is, she's honest and genuine. I think that comes across to people. They get a sense that they can trust her. You know, the word "authenticity" is overused these days. But I do think it captures what folks are looking for -- not just in leaders, but also in friends and in coworkers -- and that is, folks who are on the level. People like that tell you what they think and don't have a bunch of hidden motives. That's who Michelle is. She's also funny. She's the funniest person in our family.

Duxbury, Vermont - March 29, 2011
Chad Barrett's truck is loaded up with his snowmobile and his snow shoes, but he isn't heading out to enjoy the last days of winter. He's heading off to work.
"My office most of the time is my truck," he says while driving to Duxbury.
Barrett is a state game warden, one of only 34 in Vermont. They're police officers that specialize in fish and wildlife enforcement and have the same training as all other cops.
Thirty-nine wardens is considered full staff, but because of budget constraints that number is smaller. With two people still in the 2-year-long training process, including Vermont's only female game warden, 32 officers are currently patrolling the entire state. Less staff means more responsibilities for everyone.
"Normally if we were up to staff, each warden would be covering probably six to eight towns, but right now we're covering between 11 and 15," Barrett says.
While the job comes with perks like a truck, a lot of gear and a lot of freedom, Barrett says it also has its dangers and downfalls.
"You're called out at 2 o'clock in the morning," he says. "You're trying to be as safe as possible knowing there's probably no other officers out at this time, so if you need someone else they're going to be who knows how far away."
Game wardens work alone in remote areas, have odd hours and often have to kill wounded animals. Plus they typically deal with situations that would give most police officers pause.
"If you talk to most other police officers they'll say wardens are crazy in the respect that most of the people we deal with every day, especially in the fall of the year, are carrying firearms. We know it," says Col. David LeCours.
LeCours oversees Vermont's game wardens. The Fish and Wildlife Department is currently taking applications for new wardens, but LeCours warns people that the job isn't all about dealing with cute fuzzy animals.
"Just yesterday Chad had a seven-foot Burmese python snake here that we obtained from one of the local residences," he says. Before a person can get the job, there's an intensive application process that begins with a general fish and wildlife knowledge test and an application to the Vermont Police Academy.
"If you can't get into the police academy we can't hire you," LeCours says. Those hired as game wardens make about $40,000 a year while they're training and about $50,000 once they're on patrol.
Becoming a game warden is extremely competitive. In 2010, the pool started with 300 applicants. By the third round of interviews that was narrowed down to 40. Out of those 40, ten were ultimately chosen to serve as game wardens. However, due to funding only one person was able to get the job.
Despite the competition and some mocking misnomers like "fish cops," Barrett says it's all worth it because Vermont's changing seasons means the job never stays the same.
"Just about at the end of those four months when you're like, 'Oh I wish something else would happen,' it does," he says.
And for avid outdoorsmen like Vermont's state game wardens, that's what makes this unpredictable job worth doing.
If you're interested in applying or finding out more about what it takes to be a game warden visit the Fish and Wildlife Department's website here and look at the document here.

Luckily, the color gods, aka Pantone, have spoken: emerald green is the color of the year for 2013. The lush jewel tone is most closely associated with sophistication and luxury, and according to its official color definition, it "enhances our sense of well-being by promoting balance and harmony." What's more, Pantone Color Institute Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman says it's "the most abundant hue in nature; the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum." Aren't you the slightest bit impressed now? Pantone isn't the only source currently endorsing this stylish shade of green. Designers like Zac Posen, Christopher Bailey for Burberry Prorsum, and Nanette Lepore all sent emerald-hued wares down their respective Spring '13 runways. And, only adding to its colorful conviction, starlets and royalty alike have been donning the jewel tone on the red carpet and in their off-duty affairs. Kate Middleton was most recently spotted out in London wearing a playful printed emerald Mulberry dress. Need we say more? To herald in another year of color, we're celebrating with our favorite emerald-colored pieces. Click on to shop our picks now. Source: IMAXTREE, Getty What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Spring '13 runways were an early indication that dressing in shades of green was as chic as ever.

Retiring Avon and Somerset Police Chief Constable Colin Port bids farewell to staff and colleagues
3:36pm Friday 25th January 2013 in News By Marion Sauvebois
ROUNDS of applause and tearful goodbyes marked the outgoing chief constable's final hours as head of Avon and Somerset Police.
Emotional staff bid their leader farewell today as he left the force's headquarters in Portishead for the last time, one day before officially retiring.
Tears were shed by some as Mr Port closed the door on his eight-year stewardship, during which the number of victims of crime dropped by 46,000.
Preceded by the ceremonial mace team, he was escorted by two police motorcycle outriders and officers from the mounted section while staff of all ranks lined the route.
The outgoing chief said he was touched by the spontaneous applause and tears as he left the headquarters.
"I was very moved by the kindness shown by my colleagues who said goodbye to me today," he said. "I am enormously grateful to those officers and staff from Avon and Somerset Police for the fantastic support shown to me, and for the great job everyone is doing to keep the people of Avon and Somerset safe."

A Pensacola woman faces child abuse and other charges after she threw a three month old infant towards an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Deputy who was trying to stop her for suspected shoplifting.
Luckily the baby, who was still in her infant carrier, was not injured.
It took place Monday evening around 7 p.m. in a parking lot at the Santa Rosa Mall in Mary Esther. Investigators say 23-year old Ashley Taylor Wright of 1216 Wilson Avenue went into a fitting room at Dillards with clothing items. She came out without the merchandise and the items were not in the fitting room. She had hidden the two pairs of Miss Me Jeans and a pink Hurley shirt, valued at $261.00, in a baby stroller.
As a deputy approached near her car in the parking lot, she began yelling at her husband to leave. Two small children were also in the car. When the deputy tried to get Wright out of the vehicle, she put the baby carrier in front of her saying "You will have to shoot through the baby to get me." Wright ran from the vehicle, then threw the 14 pound infant, still in the carrier, towards the deputy.
Wright fell and began fighting the deputy as he tried to take her into custody. She was transported to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center for treatment of a laceration to her head.
She has been charged with petty theft, child abuse without great bodily harm, and resisting an officer without violence.

Czerwinski on fishing: Chasing pike in the Passaic River
Many North Jersey anglers are always anxious for information about the state's trout-stocking program, but the Division of Fish and Wildlife does stock other fish.
Did you know the state has a program that stocks northern pike in the Passaic River? The Passaic receives 2,200 6-inch fingerling pike each year from the Hackettstown hatchery, in addition to more pike ranging from 2 to 4 inches.
There's a very interesting article on the pike-stocking program at the Department of Environmental Protection website.
Log on to read more at state.nj.us/dep/fgw/artpassaicpike13.htm, and be sure to check out the photo of the 45-inch, 20-pound pike one young man caught in the Passaic River.
Now that's something that will warm your heart on the coldest day.
I confess I've only fished the Passaic a couple of times over the years, catching a few carp. But this article is a real attention grabber and has me thinking about a return trip to the Passaic in the spring.
Pike are now stocked at more than 25 locations, from the Lower Chatham Bridge at the Morris-Essex County line to Pennington Park in Paterson. Locations from Hawthorne to Garfield, above the Dundee Dam on the Bergen County side of the river, also are stocked.
Riverside fishing and boat launching is permitted off River Road in Elmwood Park near the high school. This is the spot I've fished in the past.
Although not stocked upriver of the Lower Chatham Bridge or below the Dundee Dam, which spans the Passaic between Clifton and Garfield, northern pike have been caught at numerous locations outside of that range.
The website features links to information on northern pike and stocking maps that guide you to where the fish have been released over the years. You can keep two pike per day, providing they measure at least 24 inches.
If you decide to chase a Passaic River pike, you can help the state monitor the progress of the program by emailing reports of your catches, including location, size and weight, to Mark Boriek at email@example.com.
If you've caught pike on the Passaic and would like to share the spot or some tips, let me know via email at email@example.com so we can do another column on pike down the line.
A DAY FOR FISHING: Ramsey Outdoor store on Route 17 north in Paramus will host its annual Cabin Fever Day at 10 a.m. Saturday. The event features representatives from major tackle companies, fly-tiers, guides, conservation organizations and fishing clubs.
Rich Stolis, a Connecticut guide and fly-tier, will speak at 10 a.m. about streamer tactics for trophy trout. Author George Daniel, the 2009 U.S. fly-fishing champion, will give lessons at 11, and Capt. Colin Archer will speak at noon about fly-fishing the Jersey Shore.
For more information, call 201-261-5000.
HELP WANTED: Is your town or club hosting an event that would interest the North Jersey outdoor community? We would like to publish it in this column. The best way to contact me is by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I say it's better than I expected, however, that isn't entirely true. Victory Songs was the first Ensiferum album I've purchased, and I've heard a lot of their previous stuff off the web. So, I expected an average folk/viking metal album. After one listen, this CD met my expectations. After a few listens, it exceeded my expectations. This album follows themes of anything you would expect from any viking/folk metal band: battle, dubious pleasures, and victory. I must say that I love both Jari and Petri, and I do believe that Petri does a great job in Ensiferum.
The disc starts out with a nice, short instrumental entitled "Ad Victorium". Crashing waves, thundering skys, and a running horse are just a few features of this song. It starts slow with a steady (steel?) drum beat and light instruments which make you really feel like you're forming a line before a great battle. The perfect precursor to the second song on the album..
"Blood is the Price of Honor" really delivers in my eyes (ears?). Not many people talk about this song but I have to say I really enjoy it. It's played at a furious speed as Petri belts out the story of a great battle in which the victors absolutely crushed their opponents.
"Deathbringer from the Sky" is an interesting song. Musically I think it falls a bit short, however, the subject matter and lyrics are quite nice. It tells the story of a Dragon whom, I believe, is being hunted and must defend itself against his mortal enemy, man.
"Ahti" is a God of the seas who watches over sailors apparently. This is quite a good song, very singable and will be great Live. Probably one of those "it's better live songs than it is on the album" type of songs. This song doesn't seem to be about anything but Ahti and how he governs his world. Based on Finnish folklore.
"One More Magic Potion" is possibly the greatest song on this CD. I love drinking songs, and this doesn't disappoint! It has quite the fun story to it too. It's about some soldiers who got lost in the woods and found a house. The resident let them come inside her house to rest and she was making some alcohol (presumably some sort of moonshine), the soldiers liked the smell. She served some of it to them and it made them feel good and seemed to make their wounds hurt less, therefore they dubbed it a "magic potion". HAH! It goes on about how they keep drinking and have a good old time. Everything about this song screams sing-along!
"Wanderer" is a close second as favorite on this disc. When I listen to this song I can picture sitting around a campfire hearing a great tale of the Wanderer being told. He is a well known old man who grew tired of fighting wars, so he picked a direction and started to ride. He rode away from the cares of his world, and while he misses them, he welcomes new adventures.
"Raised by the Swords" is a song simply about men who were raised as warriors from birth. Kind of reminiscent of Ancient Roman soldiers. Another really good song, man those drums!
"The New Dawn" is another battle song in which warriors are riding into a final battle against their opponent. This song goes by pretty quickly, and isn't one that really stands out.
"Victory Songs" is amazing. Clocking in at just over ten minutes this song starts slowly and really kicks it up by the end. From what I can gather this song is about an invading army who sneak attacks our heroes in the middle of night. However, a guard manages to blow a horn before he is killed which wakes the inhabitants of the village. Our heroes manage to fight off these barbarians at a great loss of life. The village remained safe for their children to live and prosper. Beautiful song, a top one on this album.

The white noise behind my poetry
A pair of blue jays appear deep in conversation, at rest atop our backyard fence. They're eyeing our fat orange tabby cat; perhaps discussing if he's any real threat (he's not). Their chatter, my cat's haughty meows back to them, a crow's call, the wind rustling through the leaves of these old oak trees —this is the white noise behind my poetry.
I've always written outdoors, surrounded by nature. At 10, I'd scribble ideas on loose leaf paper up in the tree house I built with my Dad. Looking out over the lake where I'd spent my summers since I was a baby seemed to evoke emotion in my writing.
Later, while studying Canadian Studies at Queen's University, I'd spend any spare hours I had on campus writing on flat rocks alongside Lake Ontario, or under the shade of a row of beautiful oak trees near Summerhill.
Queen's campus has always inspired me because of the authors who came there before me, and because my grandparents met at a skating party at the outdoor rink on Union street some 60 years before my first year at Queen's (the little rink would later become Jock Harty arena).
Montreal winters for writers who love the outdoors require one item: gloves with removable fingers (I could really use a warmer set). If I'm struck by an idea on a winter walk, I'll usually avoid freezing my fingers and instead memorize the phrase until I can get home to my laptop. I'll write while I warm up in my favorite easy chair by the fire, which allows me to look out at our great white ash tree, blanketed in snow.
Over the years, I've learned to write ideas down in any place, to tend to at a later date. I'll scribble titles, words and phrases in the many notepads I stash around the house, in my purse, in the car, and more recently, using Notes on my ipad; but the finishing touches of my poems always need to be written with the white noise of this beautiful country I live in set to ON —and if I'm lucky, SHUFFLE.

A petition on Change.org demanding that Adobe back away from its subscription-only model for its creativity software, including PhotoShop, has collected over 4,400 signatures by late Thursday.
And those thousands of customers were unhappy at Adobe for pushing them toward subscriptions. Very unhappy.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
"Paying Adobe rent for the rest of my life is absurd," said Nick Scott, who left a comment on the petition's page. "I'll definitely be looking elsewhere next time I need to upgrade."
Derek Schoffstall of Harrisburg, Penn., a photographer and college student, kicked off the petition Monday after Adobe announced it was halting development on the Creative Suite (CS) applications sold as "perpetual" licenses -- traditional licenses that are paid for once, then used as long as the user wants -- and would only upgrade its well-known PhotoShop, Illustrator, and other creativity software when it was licensed via subscription.
The new name for the rent-not-own suite: Creative Cloud (CC).
CS6, the current version of the boxed software, will be maintained with bug fixes and will continue to be sold at retail and by Adobe directly. But there will be no CS7 or feature additions to those versions.
Schoffstall's petition asked Adobe to reconsider its subscription-only plans, restart development on CS6, and continue to offer perpetual licenses alongside subscriptions.
"It seems that you have decided to forsake everyone but big business. Well, you've made a mistake," the petition read. "We are in a corner because although we may have the option to use CS6 now, in the future, we will be forced to subscribe to your CC subscription in order to stay relevant with updated software."
In the preface to the petition, Schoffstall argued that consumers and independent freelancers would end up paying more in subscription fees than they had buying a one-time-charge license. "In the short term, the subscription model looks to be okay, but over time the only entity that is benefiting from this is Adobe," he said. "The (no longer) current model -- paying a one time fee for infinite access -- is a much better business model and is better for the consumer."
Software-by-subscription can cost more than a perpetual license that's used for a relatively long time. The perpetual license of CS6 Design and Web Premium Student and Teacher Edition, for example, lists for $599. At the standard $30 per month for Creative Cloud, a student would end up paying more for a subscription after 20 months, or about two years in college.
In other words, if a student buys the perpetual license and uses it for more than 20 months, he or she comes out ahead of a friend who went the subscription route.
The tipping point for what Adobe calls an "individual" subscription to Creative Cloud is different: The $50 monthly subscription fee adds up to more than a perpetual license for C6 Design Standard, which lists for $1,299, after 26 months.
It takes longer for Creative Cloud to exceed the price of CS6 Design and Web Premium, Adobe's most expensive and most full-featured bundle. At the same $50 monthly fee, an individual could pay Adobe for 38 months -- three years and two months -- before spending more than the $1,899 list price for the perpetual license.
