"I thought that this was a very thought provoking program. Since my primary practice is family law, I have experienced the types of clients and experiences portrayed in the vignettes. The discussion was quite helpful in defining what and why the clients and experiences were as they were. I truly appreciated Dr. Cohen's comment that self care is important and that life is short. All in all an excellent program."
Laurel (Indiana, PA)
"I felt the vignettes and discussion in this program were extremely helpful and enlightening. This program dealt with what are the more complicated aspects of practice which are not taught in law school -- the human aspect. The different scenarios were very well done and also very relevant. I would like to to see more of this type of CLE offered in the future."

New owners will convert A&P store
By Brian Sweeney
The changeover from the Margaretville A&P to a Freshtown Supermarket is set to begin in September, it was revealed at public meeting last Tuesday. Noah Katz, a partner in PSK Supermarkets, gave a presentation about what customers can expect when the transformation to the new store is complete. He indicated that the supermarket will remain open during renovations, with most of the work taking place at night. The changeover into a state-of-the-art supermarket is expected to be complete by Christmas.
Animal rights activists work to rescue calf
By Julia Green
The great Margaretville area buffalo hunt continued this week as local animal rights representatives and law enforcement officials attempt to corral an orphaned buffalo calf that has been roaming alone since its mother was shot last Monday in the Bull Run Valley area.
The calf is reportedly one of a number of the animals that escaped from a farm in the Bloomville area in late April.
Aide is hired to assist girl who was target
By Matthew J. Perry
The administration at Margaretville Central School has brought in a conflict resolution specialist and an extra aide to help restore calm in the second-grade classroom after a plot allegedly hatched by several students against a girl in the class. For the remainder of the school year, the aide will assist in the class and provide "an extra set of eyes," said Superintendent John Riedl.
Margaretville Hospital received a Special Recognition Award from the New York State Police on May 28 in honor of the facility's work during the April 2007 shootings involving three police officers. Chief Executive Officer Ed Morache accepted the award on behalf of the hospital in a ceremony in Albany. The certificate was presented "In recognition and acknowledgement of outstanding service to the division of state police."
Company has several cell sites in town
By Jay Braman Jr.
First, Shandaken couldn't get a cell tower in town if it tried. Now it appears towers might be popping up in unexpected places. It was announced last week that Verizon has asked for permission to build its own 130-foot tall tower, called a monopole, near the town hall in Allaben.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The Town of Shandaken has found itself named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court by an electrical contractor seeking to collect $136,255 for work done at the Emerson Resort and Spa last year.
Whitman Electric, Inc. filed the suit on April 24 naming several people and entities including local businessman Dean Gitter, who spearheads the Emerson and the planned Crossroads Ventures Resort /Spa, and other companies with which he is involved. The suit also names other contractors who appear to have liens against the Emerson.
Two 50-pound bags of birdseed in the trunk of a Town of Andes man's car was more temptation than a hungry bear could stand Sunday night.
Arthur Antonison, who lives on Finkle Road off Route 28 at the top of Palmer Hill, told the News Monday morning that a bear ripped the rear bumper off his 2004 Nissan Sentra in an attempt to get at the birdseed.
Vacation Bible School will be held in the Carriage House of the Gould Memorial Church in Roxbury beginning June 17.
All children and youth aged preschool through grade six are invited to participate in the 9 a.m. to noon sessions. This year's theme is "God's Big Backyard," which teaches us to "Serve Family, Serve Friends, Serve Neighbors, Serve Community, and Serve Jesus."
An exhibit of paintings by two outstanding colorists will open at The Roxbury Arts Group's Walt Meade Gallery on Vega Mountain Road on June 20. An opening reception will take place on June 21 from 4 to 6 p.m.

(CNN/KTVT) - It's painful to see, and horrifying to think about. A dog found starving to death in Dallas, with a rusted metal can wrapped around her neck. Luckily for "Olivia", a Good Samaritan spotted her and brought her in for treatment.
A rusted can wrapped around her throat, this dog named Olivia was slowly starving, when she arrived at the Dallas Animal Shelter. Rescuers peeled apart the metal slicing deep into her skin to find her battling infection, too. "All of this was completely cut into, into the flesh over an inch deep, because the can had likely been over her neck for over a month," says Melody Hamilton, Animal Allies of Texas.
Melody Hamilton is with Animal Allies of Texas, the group now overseeing Olivia's care. She's not sure how the can got around the dog's neck, but she has her suspicions. "I don't think she just slipped this on. This wasn't her looking for a meal. I think someone put it on her. And I can't even imagine why, other than to be sadistic and cruel," says Melody Hamilton, Animal Allies of Texas.
Olivia wasn't alone, though, when an animal advocate found her in South Dallas. Standing guard was Joshua. "He was standing right by her side as she was laying on the ground," says Jody Jones, Dallas Animal Services.
Healthy and well-nourished, he doesn't appear to have come from the same home. But somehow along the way, he became Olivia's friend... Maybe even her protector. "When the rescuers took the dog into the vehicle, Josh was more than happy to go along for the ride," says Jody Jones, Dallas Animal Services.
With Olivia still struggling, it's hard to tell how this story will end. "My hope and my prayers is that she survives," says Melody Hamilton, Animal Allies of Texas.

The defense attorney for a 17-year-old St. Clair Shores teen charged with stabbing his friend argued Tuesday to have his client's bond reduced.
David Pietroski was able to have the bond for Shane Spatafore reduced from $200,000 to $75,000, or 10 percent. While the bond was reduced, 40th District Court Judge Joseph Oster attached a number of requirements.
Spatafore will be placed on a tether and will be on house arrest, submit to drug tests and have no contact with the victim or anyone else in the case directly or indirectly through family, friends or supporters. If that is violated, Oster said there will be serious consequences.
"I hope you take the bond conditions seriously," Oster added. "If something gets out, if something gets back to any of the witnesses, the complaining witness or any of the police, or any of the administrators, and it is brought to the court's attention, he is going to be right back in the county jail."
Spatafore, who is charged with stabbing his friend with a kitchen knife Sept. 3, has been held in Macomb County Jail since he was charged with assault with intent to murder.
Pietroski previously asked for a reduction, which was denied by the judge and opposed by Macomb County assistant prosecuting attorney Steve Fox. Following that hearing, prosecutors were able to interview witnesses and agreed to the terms.
Fox did address those in court, which included more than a dozen friends and classmates of Spatafore, and reminded them to not have contact with witnesses in the case, nor should they try to influence them by conversation, social media or other avenues.
"Influencing the witness is a very significant problem in some cases. In a case like this it could result in a 15-year felony," Fox said to those in court. "Everybody should be very much aware that a simple conversation with a witness or a victim could result in significant charges from our office."
Following the bond hearing, Spatafore waived his right to a preliminary exam in 40th District Court and was bound over to Macomb Circuit Court to stand trial on one count of assault with intent to murder, two counts of resisting arrest and one count of malicious destruction of property. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.
Spatafore will be arraigned in Macomb Circuit Court on Oct. 22.

Have you ever tried driving your car down your very own street either blind folded or with your eyes closed? Oh yeah, and 3 screaming kids in the backseat and a cup of hot coffee between your legs while holding a chili cheese dog?
THAT's how it feels to watch these Dallas Cowboys these days. I sat watching this last game with the Vikings literally with one eye closed. I chose to watch from the office so that if it turned sour I could at least shut it off and get some work done and not feel like my whole day was wasted on this team. I must admit, I did walk away at the start of the 3rd quarter and did other things only to return a few minutes later to see replays of Jason Witten catching a history making touchdown. I calmly took another sip of my fresh coffee and decided to watch a little more only to watch AP carry what looked like 20 people on his back 5 whole yards into the end-zone while 3 Cowboys defenders were scratching and clawing at the ball INSTEAD of the runner!! Oy. Thank goodness the kicker missed the extra point (!) or I swear the game would have gone into over time. And then who knows what we'd have witnessed. All of these fireworks against a team that has all of one - ONE - win all season. Against a team that supposedly has one of the all time worst defensive backfields in the league. Against a 5th string QB.
I'm a little worn out. I'm gun shy. I'm twitchy when I speak about the Cowboys to co-workers (which I now refrain from as if the mere words out of my mouth will give me the Asian flu). Sort of like driving in that car down my own street with the five kids (I started with 3, right?) and on and on with my eyes closed. I know deep in my heart where the turns are, I just don't quite remember the exact distance to that first stop sign. If I make it around that first corner, I know it's approximately a third of a mile before I need to veer to the left a bit and then another 3rd of a mile till my driveway. And then IF I make it to the driveway, I still have to miss the trash bins and the mailbox and not run the car through the garage door. I already have half of the hot dog on my lap and I've accidentally yelled an obscenity at the 2 year old in the car seat. The one who is NOT screaming. The good one.
I dont have a good feeling about this season. I don't have a good feeling about Tony Romo anymore. I don't trust the running back - I never have. I don't trust the playcalling. I don't trust the defensive line or the backs anymore. I don't trust that DeMarcus Ware will not jump offsides in a crucial must stop moment anymore. I mean WARE of all people - the good kid!! I don't trust Jason or Jerry or Stephen. I don't trust this scalding hot cup of coffee between my legs!! I may need some therapy at some point very soon.
All of that said, maybe this is just a team going through some insane growing pains. With the new defensive scheme and the new offensive play caller, etc etc. Maybe we are just watching this team figure itself out. Gosh, it's just too much to think about. We have the Saints next week. We have single handedly helped the Eagles feel as if they have a fighting chance of winning the division, you know the team with the rookie college coach. I don't trust that they won't! I mean the last game of the season is against those dang Eagles!! Time for a nap. Time for the bye-week. Time to get some players healthy. Time for Romo to get his act together. Time for Dez to be Dez and catch the balls thrown to him. Time for Jason Garrett to peek into Callahan's office and check up. Time for this team to find itself.
Time for me to open my eyes. Make it home safely and start to realize nothing great is likely to happen to this team this year. Dallas isn't going to any Superbowl's anytime soon. I could be wrong, though. (sigh).
Can't wait for a week off after this next game. Now where did I set my coffee?
Go Cowboys!

SB Nation's Ohio State blog, Around The Olentangy, is trying to make sense of what we all know now about Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel, and his upcoming five-game suspension. ATO now thinks he looks a bit like the other thing most Americans associate with politicians: Someone faced with a career-altering scandal.
Tuesday evening, for arguably the first time in his tenure as head coach, Tressel looked uncomfortable. He was struggling to formulate responses to the question-answer portion of the press conference. There were times, honestly, where his words were hesitant, slurred and bordering on contradictory. For one night, politics were not his strong suit. ...
Bottom line: exit polls are unkind to Tressel right now. Even among loyal party-line followers, Tressel must somehow restore his credibility. To do so will be a long and arduous process and may not be possible.
In the end, ATO still says that Tressel should remain as Ohio State head coach. But even they seem to acknowledge that he has little room for error.

The Don Bluth Collection of Animation
The Don Bluth Collection of Animation came to the Savannah College of Art and Design as a donation from Don Bluth and Gary Goldman in fall of 2005. The collection consists of cels, animation drawings, storyboards, color models, and other materials created by Don Bluth Productions and later incarnations of this company in the creation of animated features and video games between 1979 and 2000. Also included in the collection are administrative, legal, and other documents, as well as scripts, concepts, and publicity related materials. The studio operated in both the United States and Ireland, and was, at various times, affiliated with other production companies. A preliminary inventory was completed by summer of 2006 and processing began in fall of that same year. Though the processing of the collection will continue for many years, materials already processed are available to researchers now. Presented here are selections from various animated features, concepts, and video games in the collection. The materials are divided by feature titles.
Robert Welsh e-mailed me about this incredible find. He's even started creating pencil tests from the PDFs:

Plans for a proposed Sam's Club near Spectrum Mall are dead.
The Tucson City Council nixed a deal with Irvington Interstate Partners LLC on a 6-0 vote Tuesday and put the property at Interstate 19 and West Irvington Road back out to public bid after the developer couldn't agree to build a store smaller than 100,000 square feet.
"I'm disappointed," said Larry Hecker, attorney for Irvington Interstate Partners. "My client worked very hard on this."
The vote offers a potential end to a project that has been tumultuous from the beginning, when the city awarded the 22-acre property to Irvington Interstate Partners in the summer of 2011.
Shortly after the city accepted that deal, Spectrum's then-owner, Scottsdale-based Barclay Group, filed a $112 million claim against the city for breach of contract. One city incentive to get Barclay to build the Spectrum at that location was to prohibit retail development on the adjacent city property until 2017.
In September 2011, the council voted to scrap the Irvington partnership deal, prompting that developer to file its own claim against the city for approximately $13 million, said City Attorney Mike Rankin.
Last October, the council re-entered discussions with the Sam's Club developer, but added some stipulations, including that the developer had to find a way to get the proposed building under 100,000 square feet in order to comply with the city's "big box" ordinance - or the council would reject the proposal outright.
Rankin said the developers couldn't find a way to reconcile the size of the building. "They couldn't proceed at less than 100,000 square feet," Rankin said. "They analyzed it, but they couldn't meet that requirement."
The Sam's Club deal would have brought in $4 million to help the city balance its books. In addition, the city would also have received an estimated $1.5 million to $2 million in sales taxes generated from the property for years.
Barclay's claim against the city has expired.
The Irvington partnership still has time to move on its claims against the city if it chooses.
Hecker said he wasn't certain if his clients will sue. He said since the Sam's Club was never a part of the original proposal, his clients may argue they should maintain the rights to the property and be allowed to come forward with a new plan for the site.
"When a contract was awarded, it wasn't designated for (a Sam's Club)," Hecker said. "I believe there are other potential users out there."
Councilman Steve Kozachik said that according to the original agreement, the city retained the right to reject any offer for any reason. He said since the deal was initially made, things have changed in the real estate market.
"It's been two years since the property was appraised, and the market has improved," Kozachik said. "We owe it to the taxpayers to see if putting it back out yields better offers. … This is a prudent fiscal decision."

October 7, 2003
Albany- The Spruill brood is training for a little round ball competition.
But basketball may be just one of the sports they enter in the Winter Games of the Special Olympics. Mimi Spruill has involved her two autistic children, Harry and Ian, in Special Olympics for years. Focusing on sports helps build their self-esteem.
"Especially for Harry," Spruill said. "He's in middle school now and even for normal kids that's a difficult time period."
Now Harry, Ian and other athletes wanting to compete, have a place to train together.
"If you train them by themselves it's kind of like they're not like everybody else," said Geneva Green, one of the local coordinators. "And we don't want them to not feel like everybody else."
The management team for Special Olympics in Dougherty County is designating Tuesday evenings as the time to dribble, shoot and practice any other sport they're interested in. Giving these kids a chance to mix with other athletes builds confidence and skill.
"It's not about their disability," Green said. "It's about their ability."
The time together, though, is about more than just training. It can be an outlet for entire families.
"When you have a special needs family, fun isn't always there, and this gives us an opportunity to let loose and be like regular people," Spruill said.
While at the same time, training to be superior Special Olympians.

Chinese connection 'could boost business' in Hyndburn
10:20am Tuesday 10th June 2014 in News By Michael Morrison, Hyndburn reporter
BUSINESSES in Hyndburn could benefit from signing up to Chinese social media networks.
That was the message from Labour MP Graham Jones, who said that firms in the borough could use Weibo to connect directly with consumers in the region.
Weibo is a microblogging site similar to Twitter.
Mr Jones said: "Export companies in the region could benefit enormously from access to Chinese markets, and Weibo offers an example for Hyndburn-based business to connect directly with consumers in China.
"It is my firm belief that the future prosperity of the area rests in part on how well, and how early we begin to access the growing demand that comes from China.
"The UK has a very good reputation for quality amongst Chinese consumers, who are hungry for new products produced here.
The North West must capitalise on this fact."
Mr Jones urged local companies looking for more information to get in touch with him.
He added: "I have met with many local companies in recent months.
"And I am proud of the manufacturing quality and expertise we have in this part of Lancashire."

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Springfield's chief economic development official says city officials plan to ask Columbia Gas for about $1 million for property damage and other costs tied to the Nov. 23 natural gas blast downtown.
A Columbia Gas employee accidentally punctured a gas line while probing a leak. It leveled a gentlemen's club and damaged many other businesses and residences.
Nearly two dozen emergency personnel, civilians and utility employees were injured. Businesses owners also complained that revenue fell sharply due to the destruction.
The Republican reports (http://bit.ly/WW80hO ) that Kevin E. Kennedy, the city's chief development officer, said the proposed settlement will account for property damage, personal injury, reconstruction and other costs.
A Columbia gas spokeswoman says more than half of 800 claims have been paid, but did not say how much.

heartbeat project
This photo is an out take from my newest post on my heartbeat project today. As I've said before, it's always hard for me to pick the photo to use because there are so many beautiful ones. In this case, the images I took of her were so totally different, to pick one over the other was near to impossible. Thanks so Alan for making the decision for me...this model, Jennifer, is just a dream to work with. Naturally stunning and a heart of gold. Go to her post to see the photo I decided to go with and her beautiful quote (kindly translated to English by Max) regarding her heart.
it's people like Samantha and her constant kindness that keep my heart happy and believing that the world is truly still full of goodness. In a sea of selfishness, Sam is a life saver. A really, really well dressed life saver.
the moon
image from here.
I've always had a fascination with the moon. When I was little I would pray to it, ask it to guide me and show me the way through a situation. Now, I'm even more intrigued albeit a wee less spiritual regarding it. It makes me instantly happy to spot it in the sky and more often than not will stop me in my tracks and leave me wide eyed for a precious moment. To see it linger in the New York City sky or come over the horizon at the beach by my parents house, well those two things are like giving a child a lollipop. I salivate for it.
Last night, when I once again spotted it in an incredibly low position in the city sky, I decided what my next photo project will be after I finish my 365 heartbeat project. And I'm fully looking forward to it.
I love when passions turn into projects that bring joy to the world.
mom, don't you think we should make this?
I have a major crush on this necklace. I think it would be perfection with all things summer - bikinis, dresses, sheer tops and my new favorite sunglasses. Don't think I should be spending a fortune on jewelry, especially since Bear loves to yank my hair and accessories as he feeds. So instead I'm considering making this beauty. mom, care to join my do-it-yourself insanity?

The little things
I am sitting in the quiet darkness feeding Luca as he dozes in and out
of sleep. By the faint light of the city outside my window I keep
catching him letting go of me for a brief moment and giving giant
smiles. Peaceful, innocent, meaningful, honest smiles.
It's moments like this where I feel my life is perfect. No matter
whatever else is going on. This makes it all right.
Thank you. Whomever, whatever, I thank you.

"There's someone in her past that she hasn't gotten over yet. Each day is like the last and she misses what she can't forget. It's just an empty space where something used to be. Now she guards the gate, but she's lost the key. No one enters, but no one leaves." - That's not what good girls do
The one thing I'm really learning from my Heartbeat Project is everyone has a story about love. Everyone has a heart that loves, that's been hurt, that's trying for more, wishing for less, thinking about the past, eager for the future. The stories I hear each day lift me up and knock me down. I recently talked to a man that cried on my shoulder about losing the love of his life. They were married at a very young age, had a child and then she up and left him. She liked girls she suddenly decided. That was nearly 30 years ago. She passed away a few weeks ago and as he cried, in public, to me, a stranger, he explained that he never gave up hope that they'd be together again one day. That she would regret leaving him and she'd be back. But she never returned. She's gone now and he's left with a broken heart forever.
His story shattered me that day. Especially since he told me not to print the story with his photo and name. Instead he told me something else. Something less powerful. Which is why I'm telling the original story here.
My heart feels for him. More than I could ever let even myself know. But at the end of our conversation I asked him "if you could take it all back, never to have met and married her, never to have known that type of love, would you take that option now?" and without a second thought he answered, "never. cause who would I be today had I not loved and then lost? I can never be friends with people that don't understand the power of both of those things. Without them we are naive and boring."
Amen, sir.

Kinda nice to have a rainy Sunday in NYC. Gives me a reason to stay
home and cuddle with the baby bear.
We did decide to go for a mid-morning stroll though - after some
technical difficulties, as strapping him into the baby carrier is a
production in itself.
But we had a blast skipping around singing under the umbrella in the
drizzly rain.
What are you doing today? How do you spend a rainy Sunday?

A man injured in a rollover crash in New Glarus Township was arrested on suspicion of operating while under the influence, according to Green County sheriff's deputies.
Investigators said Kelly J. Hisel, 42, of New Glarus, was heading east on Airport Road when his vehicle rolled over in the W4900 block of Airport Road early Monday morning. They said he failed to negotiate a curve and traveled down an embankment causing the vehicle to overturn.
The vehicle landed on its roof and was severely damaged, according to deputies.
Hisel was taken to University of Wisconsin Hospital for treatment of his injuries.
He was arrested on suspicion of first offense operating while under the influence.

Week Fifteen Analysis:
Last week I promised you Joe Flacco's first game of the year with more than two touchdowns. It took 59 minutes and 56 seconds, but I made good on that promise. And this week he faces a similarly yielding secondary, Detroit. And he won't have to battle his way through a blizzard to get to three touchdowns. Of the last eight quarterbacks to face the Lions, only Matt Flynn hasn't scored multiple touchdowns. Three of them scored three times or more. The Ravens running game is hopelessly broken, and Detroit's run defense is usually very stout. Flacco has his arsenal of receivers fully intact, with Dennis Pitta returning. So the gameplan should go through Flacco's arm.
Week Fourteen Analysis:
Joe Flacco hasn't topped one touchdown in three games, and he hasn't topped two touchdowns all year. But, dust him off as he faces the bottom-tier Vikings secondary. They've allowed the most passing touchdowns, 25, and they've allowed the fourth-most passing yards 300 per game. Every opposing quarterback has thrown touchdowns against Minnesota, and 10 of 12 have thrown multiple touchdown. Last week Josh McCown uncorked a deep passing attack against Minnesota to the tune of 355 yards and two scores. Flacco can easily do the same.
Week Twelve Analysis:
Another week, another easy matchup for Eli Manning, this time against his perennial whipping boys, Dallas. When Manning saw Dallas in the season opener, he threw for 450 yards and four touchdowns. And, he's thrown multiple touchdowns in seven of his last nine meeting with his division rival. And Dallas just got embarrassed by Drew Brees in their last game, giving up nearly 400 yards and four touchdowns. All that sounds great, until you remember that Eli simply doesn't capitalize on these matchups any more. Since that week one explosion against Dallas, he's averaging less than one touchdown per game. And, he's topped 300 yards one time since week two. I love the matchup, but Eli has let us down repeatedly in these same situations all year.
Week Eleven Analysis:
Quietly, Joe Flacco is putting up good numbers. He's thrown multiple touchdowns in three of the past four games and four of the past six games. Torrey Smith has emerged as one of the league's elite downfield receivers, and Marlon Brown and Jacoby Jones are decent role players. He faces an inconsistent Bears defense that just put Charles Tillman on injured reserve. The only quarterback who has failed to score against Chicago is Seneca Wallace, and Matthew Stafford just picked 'em apart for three scores.
Week Six Analysis:
This is a tricky matchup for Joe Flacco with plenty of danger. He's posted two really strong fantasy games, and three bad ones this year. In his two good games, he's thrown the ball 50 and 62 times. And, they lost both games. In his three bad games, he's thrown the ball 33, 24, and 32 times. And, sure enough, they won both games. The Ravens win when they run the ball. Period. Sure, fantasy owners want Joe Flacco to throw his arm out of socket, but John Harbaugh must view that as a worst case scenario. The obvious—and probably singular—recipe for fantasy success for Flacco is for his own defense to yield a lot of points to Green Bay, forcing Flacco to throw often against the NFL's 7th-worst pass defense.
Week Five Analysis:
For some reason, the Ravens are trying wrench Joe Flacco's shoulder out of socket. His attempts are waaaay up, with his two biggest attempt days of his entire career happening already this year. Those reps have allowed him to throw for over 340 yards twice this season. If he keeps these reps going, he's got a great chance to do that again this weekend against the Dolphins. Miami is allowing over 300 passing yards per game this season and allowed the sixth-most passing yards last season.
Week Four Analysis:
We all expected Joe Flacco to struggle last week against a very good Houston defense. This week, he has a much more forgiving test as he goes up against the battered Buffalo secondary. They've allowed multiple passing touchdowns in every game this year, and last week Geno Smith threw two, ran one, and passed for 331 yards in just his third career game. So, it's a very good opportunity for Flacco to return to the form we saw in the playoffs last year, when he threw for multiple touchdowns in seven of his last eight games.
Week One Analysis:
Champ Bailey is still using walking boot on his sprained foot, which opens up a huge opportunity for Joe Flacco. Chris Harris may be forced to take Champ's place. Opposite him, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie starts after his ignominious ejection from Philadelphia, where he was among the worst starting CBs last year. This secondary is a mess without Bailey, and it opens the door to another game of pitch and catch for Joe Flacco and his receivers. In his two meetings with Denver last year, he threw five touchdowns, and another multiple touchdown game seems likely.
Mobile Video--> http://bit.ly/1ebTDAQ
The NFL's highest paid player is barely on the fantasy radar, and little more than a bye week fill-in for your fantasy team. Over the past four seasons, he's thrown 21, 25, 20, and 22 touchdowns. That's barely functional for a starting quarterback. Granted, his playoff run last year, was impressive as he connected on all those deep balls. The loss of Anquan Boldin will be felt, but hopefully the development of Torry Smith and Dennis Pitta will make up for it. Still, I'm not ready to jump on board with Flacco suddenly looking dramatically different/better from the guy we've seen for five years.

|This paper emerges from a 3-year ESRC-funded TLRP project. It argues that employees in manufacturing industry need to interpret and communicate statistical information to improve and monitor the production processes. The study investigated how numerical measures, 'process capability indices', were used in a car assembly factory and how employees were trained to use them. These measures routinely failed as the boundary objects they were intended to be. The study describes and evaluates an intervention based on a new class of software objects that re-present relevant workplace relationships.

Points in high demand
By contracostatimesprepsportsstaff
Thursday, February 2nd, 2006 at 7:51 pm in Uncategorized.
The top two girls basketball players in Northern California will share the same court this weekend.
After spending the summer wreaking havoc together, Carondelet's Jayne Appel and St. Mary's-Stockton Jacki Gemelos will get to beat up on each other on Saturday.
Carondelet travels to Stockton to face St. Mary's in the fourth edition of the annual meeting between the two teams at 4 p.m.
Appel and Gemelos both toured the country together on the East Bay Xplosion and competing at various camps, including the Nike and the USA development camp.
Saturday the two Pac-10 bound players will put their scoring talents on display. Appel, who will play at Stanford, has hit her high-school career high of 39 points twice this season. Gemelos, who will play at USC, scored 52 points back on Jan. 12. So expect a lot of scoring from the two. It is too bad that they won't be guarding each other time with Gemelos being a guard and Appel playing in the post.
It should also be a big test for Carondelet's defense, which hasn't allowed an opponent to score more than 61 points this season. St. Mary's has topped the century mark three times in its last eight games.

The Junior Hawks entertained the league leaders with a short bench having lost the services of 4 players on the morning of the game. Beth wright is taking a break for hockey, Luke Erswell suffered a late reaction to a back injury he received in training, and u16s players Tom Hoyle and Joe Murphy reported ill and were unable to dress for the game. The Hawks did welcome back Lee Bentham who had missed the past 3 games so this left the home team with just 11 fit players facing a team which had brought 21 players meaning the home team would play with just 2 lines against the visitors 4 lines.
In the reverse fixture the Hawks had lost a very close game 3-2 with a very controversial late winner depriving them of a very well deserved draw, so the home youngsters were looking for revenge to maintain their position as number 3 in the division.
The game opened with the home team pressing for an early advantage and from the opening face-off Kyle Haslam burst free to send in a shot which the visiting keeper collected with a neat glove save. From the resultant face-off, and with just 37 secs. on the game clock, Lee Bentham clashed with Chadburn, the visiting captain and both players were given an early rest, with both sitting a 2 min. penalty for roughing. The game settled down and both teams were quickly into their rhythm. Home keeper Dom Jolly was soon showing why he is considered to be such a bright prospect with a stunning 'double' save as the visitors started to show why they top the table, and on 08-07 they eventually opened the scoring with a tip in by Joe Colton. In spite of the player disadvantage the home team were more than matching the Sheffield team but they suffered another penalty when the busy Abbie Rawcliffe received 2 mins. for tripping but the penalty kill unit of George Vose, Kieron Hardman, Dalton Mullin and Harry Bolton restricted the visitors to long-range shots which the home keeper easily covered. As the opening period drew to an end a neat move came so close to a deserved equaliser. David Kovacs won the puck deep in the defensive zone and his pass found Callum Strong who stormed forward and passed to Lee Bentham and he instantly passed to Josh Robinson who sent a shot just wide of the post.
The second period continued to be end-to-end with both teams determined to register the next score. On 29-14 Kyle Haslam received a 2 min.penalty for hooking but again the well drilled penalty kill unit proved too strong to breach. Slowly the momentum of the game was switching in favour of the home team. On 36-23 Sheffield player Lee received a 2 min.penalty for interference and the home team piled forward in search of a goal. The Hawks could not find a way through the solid Sheffield defence but within a minute of the teams returning to parity they scored a richly deserved equalizer. George Vose and Kieron Hardman exchanged passes in their defensive zone and George spotted Harry Bolton in space. His long pass gave Harry enough space to get in a shot which the keeper blocked – Harry was quickly onto the rebound and his wrap-round shot put the teams level on 39-10. There was just enough time for another home penalty when Lee Bentham received 2 mins for tripping.
The final period had all to play for. As the intensity of the game increased both defences were being tested but both keepers were showing why they top the league in save percentages with a series a saves. On 43-33 Sheffield's Whitehouse knocked Callum Strong's stick away as it fell to the ice and he received a 10 min. penalty for unsporting behaviour – this was not a team penalty so the sides remained at 5 skaters each. On 49-19 both teams lost the services of a player when Lee Bentham and Sheffield player Baggaley received 2 mins. for 'delaying the game' . As the game entered its final 10 mins it looked like the junior Hawks were about to break the deadlock. Some fine defensive play by David Kovaks and Callum Strong saw the puck arrive at Harry Bolton in the clear on the blue line – this is normally bread and butter for the high scoring forward but his fierce shot produced an outstanding save by the visiting keeper. The puck was quickly down to other end and on 55-12 a stunning 3 man move was finished by Peter Toth with a stunning wrist shot into the top corner to give the visitors the lead. With less than 5 mins remaining the home team stormed forward and their cause was helped when on 56-53 Sheffield's Collinson received a 2 min. penalty for interference. In quick sucession chances fell to Abbie Rawcliffe , Lee Bentham, Kieron Hardman and Josh Robinson but in spite of their very best efforts the visitors held out to claim the 2 points.
In spite of the loss, the home team can take great pride from a wonderful team performance in which all 11 players had worked their socks off to match a Sheffield team which now looks odds on to claim the league championship this season.
MVP went to George Vose.

Please note that this qualification is only available until 31 December 2014. In order to claim this qualification you must have completed the required 180 credits by this time. This qualification is not available to new students. If you have any questions about your eligibility for this qualification please contact the Qualifications and Ceremonies Centre on +44 (0)1908 653003 or by email.
A specialist masters degree course, designed for accountants in industry and commerce who want to broaden their perspectives by adding international accounting and finance knowledge and wider management skills.
The MSc course starts with a one-year module on management that reflects a wide range of contemporary practices and challenges. Then there are two modules, one developing the management theme with a module on strategy, and the other the finance theme with a module on financial strategy. The programme culminates with studies of financial and investment decision-making in an international context, and of international financial reporting and international capital markets. Its approach is analytical rather than computational.
The programme is intended to build competencies to equip people working in the finance and financial reporting functions of companies to perform senior management roles in an international context. The degree course assumes basic accounting and financial reporting knowledge and its unique selling points are management, strategic finance and reporting to the international capital markets.
The Open University Business School is accredited internationally by the EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) and by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
All entrants to this MSc in International Finance and Management must have a minimum of three years' experience in a managerial, professional or technical role. Usually this means that they are at least 25 years old.
They are normally expected to have some experience of working in the accounting or finance functions of an entity. If you need advice about entry to the programme, please ask our Student Registration & Enquiry Service.
The MSc in International Finance and Management is in two stages. You must expect to successfully complete Stage 1 before you enrol on Stage 2.
Stage 1
There are four routes through Stage 1.
Route 1 – if you already have a bachelors level qualification
To follow this route, you must have at least a bachelors level qualification from a recognised university in Europe, the Commonwealth or rest of the world or the equivalent. If you are eligible for this route, you can complete Stage 1 with either the discontinued module B713 or, if your qualification is in the business studies area, you can study the discontinued Professional Diploma in Management module B700. Both B713 and B700 involve 600 hours of study over 12 months.
Route 2 – if you already hold the Professional Diploma in Management or a postgraduate qualification; or have partly completed some postgraduate study
If you have our Professional Diploma in Management (D64) you can count this as Stage 1 of the MSc.
If you have already passed any of the constituent modules of this MSc degree, probably taken as part of an MBA or MPA degree, they can also be counted towards this qualification. The minimum amount of new study required for this MSc is 60 credits.
Alternatively, if you have a postgraduate certificate or postgraduate diploma in accounting, finance, management or business administration, or a masters degree in a related area from elsewhere, or have partly completed such a degree, you can apply to transfer credit. You should do this urgently because, if your application is successful, it may mean that you can count the credit you are awarded at the MSc Stage 1 – permitting you to continue to Stage 2. Alternatively, or even in addition, it may result in some credit for Stage 2, reducing the amount of study needed at that stage. Not applying promptly may mean that you end up studying a module unnecessarily. You are advised to look at our Credit Transfer website.
Route 3 – if you are experienced in managerial work
If you are experienced in managerial work but not eligible for Route 1 or 2, you can take our #Professional Certificate in Management [C31]# prior to entering Stage 1. When you complete that Certificate, you are then eligible to study our Professional Diploma in Management (D64) as Stage 1 of the MSc. The Certificate followed by the Diploma will take two years.
Route 4 – if you took the Professional Certificate in Accounting
If you do not qualify under the three routes above, but have passed the discontinued B680, you are then eligible to study our Professional Diploma in Management (D64) as Stage 1 of the MSc. The Certificate followed by the Diploma will take two years.
If you need advice about entry to the programme, please ask our Student Registration & Enquiry Service.
Stage 2
There are four compulsory Stage 2 modules. You must have passed the modules required for the qualification during a period not exceeding ten years. You must complete all the required modules to gain your MSc, passing at least one module every two years. If you fail or withdraw from a module you are allowed to retake it only once. We cannot guarantee that the same programme of modules will continue to be available throughout your study period but we are committed to providing suitable equivalent modules at all times.
You should note that the University's unique study rule applies to this qualification. This means that you must include at least 60 credits from OU modules that have not been counted in any other OU qualification that has previously been awarded to you.
There is more information about how OU study can improve your employability in the OU's Employability Statement from our Careers Advisory Service. You can also read or download our publication OU study and your career and look at our subject pages to find out about career opportunities.
For this 180-credit masters degree you require:
Subject to the rules about excluded combinations, the discontinued modules B700, B713, BZX700, BZX713
The learning outcomes of this qualification are described in four areas:
If you have already completed some successful study at postgraduate level at another institution you may be able to transfer credit for this study and count it towards this Open University qualification. If you wish to apply to transfer credit you must do so as soon as possible as it may affect your choice of OU modules. If you are awarded credit for study completed elsewhere, you may find that you need to study fewer OU modules to complete your qualification with us.
Visit our Credit Transfer site for more information and details of how to apply for credit transfer.
On successful completion of the required modules you can be awarded an MSc in International Finance and Management, entitling you to use the letters MSc Int Fin Mgmt (Open) after your name. You will have the opportunity of being presented at a degree ceremony.

It's Time for Teaching!
A Beginning Reading Lesson
By Kelsey Fourroux
Rationale: This lesson teaches children about the /t/ sound, the phoneme that is represented by T. Students need to learn about the letters of the alphabet in order for them to decode and blend and be successful readers. Students will learn how to recognize /t/ in spoken words and the symbol T in written words. We will use the /t/ sound has the ticking sound on a clock along with the hand motion of moving your arm like the second hand on the clock to help students learn about the letter T.
Materials: Primary paper, pencil, Chart with "Tommy took away Tim's tiny train," book Tilly Turtle Came to Tea, Assessment worksheet (linked in Resources)
1. Say: Our written language may look scary, but we are going to learn one letter at a time so we can learn how to read. The tricky part is learning what letters stand for and how our mouth moves in different ways to make different words. Today we are going to look at the letter T. This letter makes the /t/ sound. It sounds like the ticking sound the hands on the clock make. Also you can hear the /t/ sound in the word time, which can help you remember the /t/ sound in time and on the clock.
2. Say: Let's pretend to be the hands on the clock and do this motion with me (moving forearm like a hand on the clock) and let's make the /t/ sound as we do it to represent the sound the clock makes. When we say /t/, our tongue touches the top of mouth right behind our teeth. Remember touch, top, teeth.
3. Say: Now we are going to stretch out the word time. Did you notice where we made the /t/ sound? It was at the beginning of the word time where our tongue touched the top of our mouth.
4. Say: Now let's do a tongue twister! "Tommy took away Tim's tiny train." Now let's say it together (make sure to enunciate the /t/ sound). Okay, now we are going to separate the /t/ sound from the words in the tongue twister. "TTTTTommy ttttook away TTTTTim's tttttiny tttttrain."
5. Say: Now I am going to say two words at a time and I want you to tell me in which word do you hear the /t/ sound. Remember it is the sound a clock makes. Do you hear /t/ in cat or dog? I hear the /t/ sound at the end of cat. Do you hear /t/ in chair or table? I hear the /t/ sound at the beginning of the word table. Do you hear /t/ in foot or hand? I hear the /t/ sound at the end of the word foot. Etc. Make your hand tick like a clock if you hear the /t/ sound in the words I call out. Fog, time, sing, hat, box, top, pot, etc.
6. Say: Now we are going to write the letter capital and lowercase letter t on your primary paper. The uppercase T is a straight line from the roof to the sidewalk with a short little line along the roof. The lowercase t is also a line straight down from the roof to the sidewalk with a little line crossing it, but this time the little line is on the fence. Let's try it a couple of times and I will check your work.
7. Say: Now we are going to look at a book together called "Tilly Turtle Came to Tea." This book is about a turtle named Tilly you has a tea party with her friends Tiger and Toad. Tilly is having such a good time laughing that she accidently knocks over the table spilling the tea! Now we will have to read it to find out what happens.
8. Say: Now let's look at some of the words from the book. How do we know these words have the /t/ sound. The letter "t" is a straight line, with another line crossing through the center of it. (Draw a picture of "t" on the board for students to see) Let's look at the word tea and glee. How do we know which one has the letter "t"? Hold up one finger for the word tea and two fingers for the word glee to tell me which one has the letter "t". Can you hear the ticking of the clock in that sound?
Assessment: Worksheet identifying pictures that have the /t/ sound in them.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. - NEWS10 spoke with some area cab drivers about an alleged brutal attack on a cab driver in Schenectady and what they had to say was alarming.
John Nolan, President of ACME Taxi, gave insight into the risk drivers say they take every day.
"It's unfortunate. Driving taxi is a very dangerous job," said Nolan.
Derek Leach, 28, a cab driver with Glove City Taxi in Gloversville found out just how dangerous driving cab can be.
Police say Leach was brutally stabbed by 18-year-old Desere Shaw of Gloversville when Leach dropped her off near an apartment building in Schenectady Thursday night. Leach suffered stab wounds to the face arm and back. He was airlifted to Albany Medical Center in critical condition.
When a local cab driver with ACME Taxi of Albany heard about the attack he was concerned but not surprised. Nolan says there is little protection for cab drivers.
"A lot of times people will ride in the front seat with you and you really have no protection. Even in the back seat of a taxi you have very limited protection," said Nolan.
Doug Draiss with Advantage Transit says his company has cameras in every vehicle, and although it may not stop a crime, it could help with response to one.
"They can see where the cabs going, where the cab came from. They can see the interior of the cab. If the cab driver calls the dispatcher and says there's a problem with another driver or a customer the dispatcher can zero in on the location," said Draiss.
Nolan says saying 'no' to certain clients is also good safety protocol.
"I've had situations where people have approached me for a ride and I've turned them down. I'm not afraid to turn people down. I only let people in that I feel comfortable with," said Nolan.
Desere Shaw was arraigned in Schenectady City Court Sunday morning. Shaw faces charges of assault, grand larceny, and attempted murder.

This coming Father's Day will be a special one for a Madison woman. She has come up with a way to feel closer to the father she never knew. He died in France in 1944 during World War II.
Betty Stevens came up with idea of having her father's medals made into a bracelet, for the Silver Star, and a necklace for the Purple Heart, so she could wear them this Father's Day and be able to pass them on to her daughters and granddaughters.
Stevens' strongest memory of her father is a picture of the two of them, taken in 1944. She was just two years old.
Then 25-year-old Joseph Jefferson Dear died in July of 1944 when he was hit by a German sniper near St. Lo, France. He was a , rifleman, a tech sergeant, with the 79th division that landed at Utah Beach a week after the initial Normandy invasion of June 6th, 1944.
He was from Mississippi, near Harrisville.
"You know, when I was at church or school, and we were making Father's Day cards, you know I didn't have a father, and so I always just kept quiet, because I didn't want to tell about my father" said Stevens. "I knew I would cry, but this father's day will be quiet different."
She is aware some veterans and others might not approve of her having the medals made into a necklace and bracelet, but it has made her very happy and the jeweler who did it justifies it this way.
"People get these medals and they put them in their drawer and it's never looked at again" said jeweler Ann Brunson. "The children have no history of it, to be able to show the love that she has for her father, every time she wears them."
Stevens has become friends with a Frenchman in Paris, Bernard Duval, who puts flowers on her father's grave and says a prayer each year on the anniversary of the invasion.
Stevens says she will feel closer to her father than ever, this Fathers Day, because she will be wearing his medals.
She plans to visit his grave next year.
