DO NOT use another institution's DS-2019 for entry to the U.S. Upon entry to the U.S. or upon a transfer, extension, or change of status, you should always be given an original DS2019.
You may remain in the U.S. for the duration of your status as an exchange visitor, which means until the end date shown in #3 of your DS-2019 PLUS a 30-day grace period during which you may prepare to leave or travel within the U.S. During the 30-day grace period, you are NOT allowed to work for wages, or leave and return to the U.S.
Dependent family members in J-2 status are each issued their own DS-2019 forms. Individuals should retain all original DS-2019 forms for travel purposes and for their own records.

Instead of receiving a paper I-94 record when you enter by air or sea, your I-94 information will now be made available online. It is important to note that USCIS and other government departments in the U.S. will continue to require students to submit a paper copy of Form I-94 when requesting certain benefits. Therefore, the OGS advises you to print and save a paper copy of the electronic I-94 soon after arrival.
As an exchange visitor, your visa classification should be notated as "J-1" ("J-2" for dependents) and your length of stay as "D/S" as described above.

Best Buy selling iPad 3 for $50 off, with $75 gift card, today only
Do you have any other way of purchasing it (Like, another credit card). If you are willing to go thru the hassle, return the iPad you purchase before in one Best Buy location and then repurchase it to get the deal. That is exactly what I'll be doing with the iPad mini if it gets a discount on Friday. I'll also be going going from 32GB to 16GB since I have like 13GB remaining on the one I have now.
lol this is not worth it just put the extra 50 bucks and get the 4th gen. This is more of a ripoff than a deal

2014 Big 12 Bowl Selection ProcessCollege Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Process
The CFP Selection Committee ranks the top 25 teams and selects the four teams to participate in the semifinal games. Then, after the contract bowls are filled based on conference agreements, the Committee will assign teams to fill the remaining New Year's bowls. Each conference champion from the contract bowls (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC & Pac 12) has a guaranteed spot in its contracted bowl or in another New Year's bowl (Cotton, Fiesta or Peach) if the contracted bowl is a semifinal game and the conference champion is not selected to participate in a semifinal game. The highest ranked champion from the Mountain West, American, Conference USA, Sun Belt or MAC is guaranteed a spot in a CFP bowl and the remaining spots are filled based on the rankings of teams after the contract bowls have been filled.
College Football Playoff Bowls
Sugar (semifinal)
Rose (semifinal)
CFP National Championship Game (Arlington, Texas)
New Year's Contract Bowls
Allstate Sugar - (Big 12 vs. SEC when Sugar is not a semifinal game)
Rose - (Pac 12 vs. Big Ten when Rose is not a semifinal game)
Capital One Orange - (ACC vs. highest ranked SEC/Big Ten non-champion or Notre Dame when Orange is not a semifinal game)
Other New Year's Bowls
Goodyear Cotton
Vizio Fiesta
Chick-fil-A Peach
Big 12 CFP Contract Bowl Qualifier
The Big 12 champion will earn the Conference's automatic berth for its CFP contract bowl slot. If one or more teams tie for the Big 12 championship, the Conference's tiebreaker procedure will be used to determine the Big 12 designated team.
Additional Big 12 Teams in the CFP
If a Big 12 team(s) is rated in the top four of the CFP, it will play in one of the semifinals. This does not aff ect the Big 12 designee being placed in a CFP New Year's Bowl if it is not one of the top four teams. There is not a limit on the number of teams from one conference that can be placed in CFP bowls. Additional Big 12 teams may be selected for other CFP New Year's bowls based on their ranking in the final CFP Poll.
Big 12 Bowl Partners
Once the CFP has filled its bowl slots, Big 12 bowl partners will make selections from the remaining bowl eligible teams. Following is the order of selection. A bowl may pick from any available teams when it reaches its spot in the selection order.

There will be no backlash. You will just have to find a small niche community somewhere else if you don't like where the mainstream is heading.

P2W doesn't really bother me tbh.....If players are dumb enough to pay money so they can be better than me then more power to them......
Originally posted by zekeofev
OK, let's take the Aika example, I have some experience in this game.
Yes, they have items that can help crafting go easier. but...each of those items that can be bought in the store can also drop in the world, are given away by the devs in many MANY rewards programs, and can also be sold to other players. And usually that is exactly what they are being done with from folks who buy them in the shop.
So Pay to Win? So guy who grinded tons of money in-game can buy the same items, isn't he pay to win as well?
I think the term P2W is mired in the wrong idea. Here's an example I look for...If you can Pay the devs for the best weapon/armor the game allows, and/or pay the company for a toon that is max in level and skills...that is P2W.
Everything else is pretty much ways to influence a game's economy and the devs' paycheck.
Personally I think buying gems in GW2 is one of the closest P2W schemes I have seeen in a long while, but that's just a personal opinion. It's innovative, but shady.

Logic, reason and fact do not supersede human nature. Ignorance reigns without justice.
It has pretty much always been a factor in online games. You will have a hard time trying to sell me on the UO crowd not partaking in "P2W' ethics with how many accounts were sold that had castles and houses with ideal real estate and 6x GMs and millions of gold on it. I know people who spent upwards of $20,000 just for an account with a couple castles, of which he sold for hundreds of millions of gold. Equally I know people who sold their accounts for about $5,000 to 10,000 every year or so with the same results. Indeed, there was a large crowd that considered MMOs to be an investment, especially with UO. Though I guess you could say that it is a peer to peer transaction and not corporate greed that encourages it.
When it comes right down to it you have people who have time to play games endlessly, and you have people who work multiple jobs and only have an hour or two a day (or week even) to play a game. I hear all the time "why should someone with $10 be given a disadvangate over one with $100" in terms of a monthly gaming budget, all the time. Though it creates a double standard and violates the economic (or business) principle of "Time is money". Why should people who have the money and or time have an advantage over those who don't and are out making money? Someone who plays a game 16 hours a day has a definitive advantage over one who does not -- and by the beforementioned saying, they are sacrificing time they could be making money for the power they get.
Now, I am not condoning P2W practices in any way, but simply pointing out that things just aren't black and white. It is one reason why some people consider items that are easily acquirable in game (with a little time played) okay to be in a cash shop and are dead set against unique items only being available in the cash shop. In both circumstances players are giving up money -- either through lack of working, or using the money they worked for and in the end they get equal benefits.
If you take a good look at Diablo III's action house (minus the cut Blizzard takes), it is quite literaly one person selling the time he worked on the game to another for the time they worked at a job. There are even a few who turned it into an actual job and have been making hundreds per day (not counting whatever they make if they stream). I'm all for peer to peer transactions, and less so when it comes to the company selling it regardless if it's easy to get in game or not. It comes down to games telling me what I can't or can't do with the items I spent time on getting. In truth, it's the same principle I have with being unable to sell used games (although I do support the industry in trying to find a solution so they make more money for their work). I should not be told by a game that fears "P2W" phobia people, or the people themselves that I cannot do what I want with the item I spent the time getting.
It's not even an issue of Rich vs. Poor: The rich will always find a way to get an advantage. Whether it is 40x multiboxing, hiring someone to play on their computer to do their dailies on multiboxing (undetectable as it's on their computer), or just buying a guild's time to carry them. This is flat out middle class vs. middle class and people dictating how others should spend their money and live their life just because they don't believe in spending money on virtual items. It's absolutely disgusting and appaling to some of those who experienced the Industry when the auction market in UO flourished between peers.
I'm all for a company outright banning something just because that's what they want to do, and it's their game. But when it's because they fear a certain crowd, it's just a darn shame in general, and these same people think their beliefs should be opposed on every one and every single game -- leaving nothing for those who are acclimated to such a gaming culture. I don't know about you, but if a large group of people said that violence is bad in video games, and that blood should outright be banned in every single game (which won't happen unless people stop buying them), then it would be a sad day for gaming in general. Games are supposed to be different, and have options.
When faced with strife or discontent, the true nature of a man is brought forth. It is then when we see the character of the individual. It is then we are able to tell if he is mature enough to grin and bare it, or subject his fellow man to his complaints and woes.

It does not change the fact that if I want to compete and have the best avaliable options to me I need to pay up.
In battle of the immortals you had a in game gold currency to in game premium curency exchange so you could buy premium money with gold thus making a time to premium conversion for everything. Does this make the game not pay to win because you could technically earn anything with enough grinding? IMO no. I believe I calced out 80 hours of grinding gold in order to buy what 5 bucks would get you. And there were a lot of things to buy to be competitive.
I am aware that some people will defend this style of system (you can buy anything with in game currency, np!). But realize this is pay to win in my book and I regret spending time on this type of game.

And why would the mmo ban these accounts? They made 4x subscription fees......

In Aika, they are not hand me downs, they are in fact a way to make in-game currency for real-world money, like any game.
In fact, I whole-heartedly support it, as it is a decent means for a F2P company to make money and keep the development of the game going. In no way do I feel it's P2W, because of the very political system of Aika allows for huge amounts of in-game money to be made by each of the 5 ruling alliances. Those alliances (if smart) spend their money to buy the cash shop items from their citizens, keeping everyone very profitable and geared. All you have to do is put in the effort, it's not an easy game to master even for a whale, and definitely not P2W as any alliance can keep up with any amount of whales purely by pvp.

I understand your idea that pay rate and character advancement should have some kind of common value because they are both dependent upon time, but I will tell you why your assumption is wrong. Those players that "sacraficed" their time gaining advancement through the game did so while interacting with other players. A players time spent in the game should not only be valued with their own advancement, but also include the value that they gained by interacting with other players.

I dont get this at all. You're saying that if you can buy weapon/amor or buy a toon max level for some real cash it is pay to win, but if you buy gems in GW2 that allows you to to buy some cosmetic stuff, its still pay to win? Sure you're going to say that you can trade gems for ingame gold, but that just plain stupid since getting gold ingame is really easy. Why would anyone pay like 1$ to get 1 gold?
P2W is when you can buy something from the cash shop that gives you more power than the ones who doesn't, in PvP. Like some HP potions, scrolls that gives you some increased stats for X amount of time, stuff like that. Anyone saying otherwise don't know that P2W means at all. Also, P2W in PvE doesn't exist. You know why? Because you can do just fine without having to spend a single dime in the cash shop. Sure some games will lock some content until you gives them money, but that's a complete different thing. P2W is a PvP thing, where you will absolutely need to spend some cash in the cash shop for those P2W items to stay competitive.

let's revist my statement: If you can buy the best weapon and armor with real money = pay to win
what part of that was so hard to get?
As far as gems went in GW2, the first 2 months, gems were insanely cheap and giving gold for ridiculous amounts. So much so, that the prices skyrocketed because so many folks spent real money to get that gold deal.
nowadays I assume there is more balance, but...the fact remains you can purchase gems from ANet to then trade with ANet for actual currency to spend in game. That is the very definition of pay to win. Like I said, it's shady, but it's what it is.
Originally posted by Rider071
There's nothing P2W in this at all. If you pay for something someone else can get ingame, its not P2W. P2W is when you bought something in the cash shop that will give you more power than someone else and that you can't get ingame. That is P2W. P2W = pay to be more powerful than the ones who can't spend money in the cash shop. That is the real definition of P2W.

Problem is, there are too many cheap players. If they only offer fluff stuff, the majority of gamers will say "sweet i can play for free and never pay a dime!" and then the company says "Well damn, we're not making enough on the fluff items, lets offer a minor boost in the cash shop" then they start hitting their mark but the free players say "this is bs! P2W! I quit!"
And they only really lose the free players.
So the truth is, it won't ever end. Because they don't care if the cheap/poor/free players don't like the p2w. They want to stay in business.

If you REALLY stretch this definition, this could also apply to paid expansions in general. If you don't pay for the expansion, your character is permalocked at a lower level, which means less stats, poorer gear, and no access to higher level raids.

To which I say, P2W games should just sell the best gear but make it a "new 20 second dungeon run that drops the best gear" lol. Its not P2W its a single dungeon expansion with the best gear.
Originally posted by Yakkin
Kinda yeah. But that pushing the thinking wayyy to far IMO. Because we're talking about F2P games here. F2P games doesn't make you pay for expansions. Games that have expansions that you need to pay usually don't have a cash shop.
edit : Also, bear in mind that with an expansion, usually the level cap increase, so in some games you can't even play against the people who have bought the expansion. Like I've said, P2W is something you can call out in PvP, not PvE. There's no such thing as P2W in PvE.

It is known how Free to play games work, I'm not sure if you are new or not to this, but this is how it has always worked. They don't hide behind a thing in the free to play model. Cash shops can and always will offer things that people want or think they have an advantage over having. Get to used to it, this model is not going anywhere.

You left out "My crazy idea of how the model works is..." because that's not at all how the F2P model has worked or ever will work.
1) Boosters sell well because people like them, not because people feel they need them. The typical talking point is that the 'grind' is made harder so that people buy boosters. This is often based on some fictious weak-willed persona. It's done from the stance that the author is smarter than the 'masses' and they are blind to the truth that the author sees. It's one of the most egotistical and least logical of the arguments against Free to Play.
2) The only reason that paying 10% is there is because the other 90% is there, so the devs definitely do care if they are there and do care that they are having fun.

Pipe Mount - Opium, Metal, circa 1905-1930 Reg. No: ST 044013
- Summary:
- One of a set of seven opium pipe mounts which are part of a group of opium related objects obtained in a raid on Chinese premises by investigating officers from the Victorian Customs Department circa 1905-1930. Opium use was widespread in China between the 17th and 19th Centuries with the British East India Company importing large quantities of the drug. Chinese attempts to ban the opium trade and resistance against the foreign intervention it represented culminated in the Opium Wars of the early to mid-19th Century when force of arms ensured that Chinese ports remained open to opium.
Opium smoking followed Chinese migrants overseas, with the activity providing a means of relaxation and social interaction for a largely male community, who were often ostracised from the wider community. In 1867, a census of Chinese settlements in regional Victoria recorded at least 80 opium shops in 9 centres across regional Victoria. Opium smoking was legal in Victoria until 1905, although prior to this those who failed to pay import duties risked having supplies of opium confiscated.
In the 1950s Victorian Customs Officers were still conducting opium raids with officer Fred Steed recalling a raid in Little Bourke Street, Melbourne: 'We would congregate up the top end of Little Bourke Street and walk slowly down...We knew they were smoking because you could smell it...You'd come up the alley and pull a string that opened the door...We went upstairs as fast as we could, forced open the door and saw these poor devils all smokin' in there. They're all huddled up, you know. They get very cold, very cold smokin'. And they stand on their heads, oh, it's marvellous the things they do...The manager...a fellow named Mahchow, was most surprised to see us. He said "oh well, oh well". That's all he said.'
- Description:
- Metal opium pipe mount. The main body of the mount is rounded to fit a pipe, and there is a circular hole at the top where the ceramic bowl of the pipe would be placed.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Victoria: Customs & Excise Department, 1939

Most recently Debbie worked in the deli department at Shaw's Supermarket in Waitsfield.
In her leisure time, she and Larry enjoyed stockcar racing at Thunder Road and camping on Silver Lake in Barnard and Little River State Park in Waterbury. Her family lovingly remembers Debbie for natural abilities as a chef, the joy she felt being around her large and loving family and especially being nana to her five wonderful grandchildren.
Debbie is survived by her mother, Betsy Dolloff of Waterbury; her husband of 35 years, Larry H. Pierce of Warren; their children, Eydye Pierce of Waitsfield and Nate Pierce and his wife Linda of Waitsfield; her grandchildren, Harley, Bailey, Devan, Nathan and Anthony Pierce; four sisters, Shelley Ploof and her husband Larry of Barre, Diane Farnham and her husband Paul of Knoxville, TN, Penny Persico and her husband, Frank of Bristol, NH, and Linda Stirewalt and her husband Mark of Waterbury Center; her beloved feline companion, "Evelyn"; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family.

Though the forecast is calling for gray skies on Saturday, there will be a burst of bright colors at the Spring Steeplechase.
Both men and women seem to be picking up the brightest and craziest mix of hues hoping to stand out among the thousands of people planning to attend one of Aiken's biggest events of the year.
Local downtown businesses have seen an influx in customers in the past couple of days because they're doing a little last-minute shopping to complete their Steeplechase look.
According to Amanda Thornton, owner of Threads, the ladies are looking for sundresses with bold patterns and vivid colors. She said she's noticed that the solid-colored dresses are not big sellers this year.
Thornton said customers are looking for anything that's a little different.
"A lot of gals like to stand out," Thornton said. "That's kind of the nature of the event."
Boots accompanying a sundress are in fashion this year.
As for the men, they're also looking for outfits splashed with color. Kraig Holdman, sales associate for Lionel Smith Ltd., said the guys are striving to outdo each other this year with intensely chromatic outfits.
Madras plaid, seersucker, pincord and four-paneled pants worn with a linen shirt are all popular this year. A bow tie can be added to give the outfit a little bit more flair.
The men will wear loafers without socks or saddle bucks with colored soles and shoelaces to match.
"It's more vibrant than in the past," Holdman said.
And of course, don't forget the hat. A variety of headwear, from leather cowboy hats to fancy embellished hats, is a Steeplechase fashion staple.
The weather may be a little chilly Saturday, with highs only reaching the mid- to high 50s, so plan on bringing along a jacket.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Pac Mentality: What to look for in Week 12
By Saturday night, we could know the participants for the second Pac-12 Championship Game. Oregon hosts Stanford and could clinch the North with a win, while the South will be decided by the USC-UCLA game in Pasadena.
Arizona State is fighting for bowl eligibility for the second straight season, and Utah needs a win over Arizona to keep hopes of extending their decade-long bowl appearance streak alive.
It should be a great week of football. Let's dive in...
Ranking the Week 12 games:
6. Washington State at Arizona State - We're still not sure why Connor Halliday will be on the bench and Jeff Tuel will start for the Cougars at quarterback. It was Halliday who threw five touchdown passes against UCLA last week. And it was Halliday who riddled ASU's secondary for 494 yards and four TDs last year. But who are we to question Mike Leach?
5. #25 Washington at Colorado - Since getting torched by Arizona in Tucson last month, Washington's defense has shown up big-time. During their three-game winning streak, the Huskies have allowed an average of just 15 points per game. Colorado will be hard-pressed to score that many Saturday.
4. California at #16 Oregon State - The Beavers have come crashing down to Earth, having lost two of their last three. But Mike Riley's team should get back in the win column this week against a Cal team that's circling the drain.
3. Arizona at Utah - The Utes are 8-1 in bowl games during their current nine-year postseason run...but if they don't beat the Wildcats in SLC, that streak will come to an end.
2. #18 USC at #17 UCLA - It's the battle for the Pac-12 South. USC has been a huge disappointment after being picked by many to play in the BCS Championship Game, and turnovers have been a giant reason for it. The Trojans have turned the ball over 13 times in their last three games. They won't get away with that against UCLA, who has forced 25 turnovers this season.
1. #13 Stanford at #2 Oregon - The Ducks can win the North for the second straight season with a win. This matchup is a beautiful contrast of styles, with Oregon's flashy non-stop offense and Stanford's grind-it-out workmanlike approach.
Here's what to watch for in Week 12:
� The November blues - The only group that's had it worse in the month of November than Arizona State and Washington State is the world's turkey population. Since 2009, Arizona State is a woeful 1-12 in the month of November while the Cougars are just 2-10, including a 37-27 win over the Sun Devils in Pullman last season.
� Will Matt Scott play, Part II - The mystery surrounding Scott's condition continues. Arizona is bowl eligible already, so technically their game against Utah is meaningless to them. It might make more sense to allow the senior another week of rest to get ready for the annual Territorial Cup game the following week against Arizona State. B.J. Denker was adequate in his start against Colorado, but was bolstered by Ka'Deem Carey's record-setting rushing day. Utah's defense is just a little bit better than CU's. Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez did tell Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf that Scott is "looking better every day." Scott's presence could be the difference in the game.
� Oh no, not again! - Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey ran around, through, over and by Colorado's defense last week on the way to a Pac-12 record 366 yards rushing. Could that record be in jeopardy this week? Probably not, but Washington's Bishop Sankey has been one of the big reasons the Huskies have turned it around. The sophomore has run for 351 yards and four touchdowns in the last two weeks, and easily could top the 200-yard mark against the hapless Buffs.
� Oregon's injuries - There are many that believe the only team that can beat Oregon is Oregon. Considering that they've won 13 in a row and have outscored opponents by an average of four touchdowns during that streak, it appears that they are unlikely to harm themselves with turnovers, mistakes and shoddy play. But Oregon is really banged up heading into this Stanford game. Running back Kenjon Barner and quarterback Marcus Mariota both played through injuries last week against Cal, while safety Avery Patterson will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Defensive linemen Wade Keliikipi , Taylor Hart, Dion Jordan, Isaac Remington and Ricky Heimuli are all banged up to various degrees. Maybe the multitude of injuries will slow down Oregon? It's something to keep an eye on but I wouldn't bet on it.

Prosecutors say a Montgomery County grand jury has indicted a Gaithersburg woman who is charged with prostituting her daughter to a Gaithersburg man.
Charging documents state that Bejarni Rivas, 44, paid the mother $100 each time to have sex with the victim.
The alleged incidents occurred from December 2012 through March 2013 at the Georgian Colonies Club House in Siver Spring.
Court records say Rivas raped the girl, now 15, in the men's changing room, then gave her $100.
Two weeks later, the victim's mother told her she had to meet Rivas again, according to the documents.
After meeting at a gas station, Rivas took the girl to the clubhouse, where he tried to perform another sex act on her. She refused, and went into the parking lot, begging her mother not to make her have sex with Rivas, according to the documents.
The mother responded, "I've done a lot of bad things to make you have a good life. Go with him," according to the charging documents
Afte raping the girl again, Rivas took the mother and the victim to a 7-Eleven in Rockville and gave the victim $100, according to the documents. At that point, the mother told the victim she would not have to have sex with Rivas again.
Police discovered the abuse on March 23, documents say. The victim learned that her mother was again going to make her have sex with Rivas and refused to let him into the house when he arrived.
Instead, she ran to a relative's apartment. Police later learned from relatives of the victim that Rivas had tried to have relationships with other younger family members, according to charging documents.
When the victim's mother was arrested, she told police she had left the girl alone with Rivas for only about 10 minutes. She said the money Rivas withdrew at the 7-Eleven was for her, not her daughter, the documents stated. During the course of her arrest, she admitted to owing a $5,000 debt to Rivas.
The Gazette generally does not identify people who say they have been victims of a sex crime and is not identifying the girl or her mother.
Rivas is charged with 13 counts of rape, sexual abuse, and other charges.
The mother is charged with 11 similar counts, and was being held in jail on $275,000 bond. Rivas is out on bail and will have a chance to refute charges against him, according to Montgomery County State's Attorney spokesman Ramon Korionoff.
The Gazette was unable to reach Rivas at his home or the relative at the house where the victim ultimately fled to.

I have been a Zen practitioner since the 1980s and received lay ordination in 1999. Since then I have had the opportunity to participate in a number of practice periods at City Center, Linda Ruth Cutts' DEPP program as well as two practice events in Japan and a study trip to China. I am very grateful for this practice which has so helped me to wake up to my relationships, work and whole life. I served on the Zen Center board from 2004-2010. During these years I served as chair of the board's development committee. I am honored to stand once again as a candidate for the board in order to continue to be of service to Zen Center.
I work as a Senior Fellow in Public Health at NORC at the University of Chicago where I lead NORC's San Francisco office and direct health marketing/communication and policy studies. Prior to this I served as Vice President/Senior Research Director at Field Research Corporation, a San Francisco-based marketing/opinion research company (2001-2012), and as founder/CEO of Communication Sciences Group and Survey Methods Group (1985-2000), two related San Francisco-based companies specializing in health research and program development.
I serve on the board of the Kevin J. Mossier Foundation, a national philanthropy focused on the needs of the LGBT community. I also recently serviced on the board of the Movement Advancement Project, a national funder's collaborative working to advance the cause of LGBT civil rights. I am interested in comparative religion, politics, international travel and the performing arts. I live in San Francisco with my partner of more than 30 years, Edward Kerry.


text: Hemlock is described as a "pale opal green iridescent." It's a pale, neutral beige with iridescent green threads of metallic shimmer. It's semi-sheer–noticeable color but there is also visible nail line. The consistency was slightly thicker, and while I tried to layer it over Facet to see how the two would pair together, it did look somewhat thick. I reviewed this earlier in the year, and Illamasqua's brought it back for fall, but the newer bottle definitely had a slightly thicker consistency compared to my original bottle. NARS Disco Inferno is cooler-toned, less green. Color Club Kismet is a full-on green with a holographic finish. See comparison swatches.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
By Sue Duprat, athletic director, Harwood Union Middle/High School
To the Harwood Community:
Like most athletic directors, most days I just love my job. I love the daily interaction with students, families, teachers, coaches and community members. I love working in an environment where kids truly want to be, where they learn and grow. I love the excitement, the joy and disappointment that comes with competing, and watching students develop positive self-image and core values through their experiences in interscholastic athletics. That's most days. Some days, we have to deal with stuff that just really doesn't seem to make sense, and today is one of those days.
On Tuesday, September 18, The Times Argus, for a reason know only to the editor, chose to reprint, in its entirety and in a shadow box, a letter to the editor decrying "HS Coaches failing in Sportsmanship" that they had previously run (on Saturday). Perhaps there weren't enough contentious responses the first time? Trying to stir up a little community drama? Or just plain careless editorial procedures?
But while I find it more than a little annoying that the letter was reprinted, I really do welcome this opportunity. You see, I had no intention of responding to that first letter.
I, as is my community, am appalled that such inflammatory, unfair and wholly inaccurate comments were printed a second time. It is a slap in the face of all schools, programs coaches, and most importantly student-athletes to make the leap from a red card infraction to "giving the kids bats and let that last one standing" claim victory. At every level in Vermont, schools, teams, administrators and the VPA, we address sportsmanship, fair play and positive competition daily. And we do a heck of a job. The incidents that concern us most very rarely include deliberate unsporting actions by coaches, teams or schools, or celebrating egregious actions by players or coaches. Dealing with issues of sportsmanship with our teams is relatively easy; we have a captive audience. It is a far greater challenge to deal with rude, vulgar and inappropriate actions by spectators.
As for the letter(s), let me give you a little background: The letter to the editor was first sent as a letter to the principal at Harwood two weeks ago, with copies to me, the VPA, and the Washington West Superintendent. We thought the writer was looking for an answer to her questions about a situation at a soccer match. Apparently, that wasn't the case. I responded to her inquiry and we exchanged another set of emails as we each clarified our positions. When another local newspaper called the following Tuesday, about receiving the email letter to the editor, I forwarded a copy of my original response to the writer. What they chose to do with it is out of my hands, but at least I had the chance to offer an alternative interpretation. I'm sorry that The Times Argus didn't do that, but that really is up to their editors, and they chose to print it on Saturday. And Tuesday.
Because team sports are what we are discussing, I want to invite you, any and all parents, fans and curious onlookers to go out to a soccer match or field hockey game; watch our kids and our coaches. Watch how hard they work at their craft. The majority, the VAST majority, at all levels at ALL schools, do an incredible job. I am fortunate to be able to say that Harwood has on staff some of the best. I am proud to work with them, and proud that they are working with our incredible students. Do some students celebrate the "big hit," the hard slide? Yes. Do some adults? Yes. Do some folks go to Thunder Road hoping as much to see the big crash as a great race? Certainly, we as educators take very seriously our role to model appropriate responses and actions. And I can assure you; no one at Harwood condones, celebrates, or tolerates that response from our athletes. One of our tasks is to use co-curricular participation as a means to help teach these lessons. Not celebrate any short-term failure to have done so.
I have the following quote posted on my wall which reminds me when things get heated that:
"Neither the intensity of your feelings, nor the certainty of your convictions is any assurance that you are right."
We should all keep that in mind.
For further clarification, I am attaching my response to the emails, as well as the writer's email for your information.
Dear Ms. Blanco,
Although the email was not addressed directly to me, please allow me to respond. First, let me introduce myself: My name is Sue Duprat and I am the athletic and activity director at Harwood Union Middle/High School. Secondly, I, too, was at that game.
No one involved with scholastic-based sports can or will ever argue with you that the seeming last bastion of fair play and sportsmanship may well be at the high school level. Athletic directors across the state, in concert with the VPA, are constantly vigilant to the erosion of good sportsmanship at our level that is accelerated by media examples of poor behavior at the professional and, alas, even the college level on an almost daily basis. I doubt that there is an administrator anywhere in the state that would condone any celebration of a gross violation of the spirit and letter of the rules of fair play.
As I mentioned, I was at the match, and did indeed witness the jersey-grab from behind that warranted, as you said, expulsion from the game and a two-game suspension on top of that, for the offender. But I respectfully disagree with you about what happened next. No one associated with Harwood was proud of that moment. While you saw coaches' high-fives and congratulations, what I witnessed was much different: Our head coach hugged the ejected boy, who was crying, told him that his actions were clearly unacceptable, and that they would talk about it later. Our bench players did congratulate the player, but on his performance for the previous 70 minutes of outstanding play.
Part of the beauty of interscholastic sports is that boys and girls, young men and women can learn some of life's hard lessons in a safe environment.
Our player made a bad choice -- a choice that is unacceptable to the coach, the team and our school. It really isn't enough to say that he neither intended to harm his opponent, nor actually did harm him. But our response has to be to teach, not terrorize.
Had my coach gone on a tirade, verbally berating a student in public, you may have felt better, but I would have been very concerned, and that coach would have had to answer to me as to why he thought that was acceptable. We, as adults, are rightfully held to a higher standard of conduct than the students we teach. We need to model appropriate behavior, reward good choices, and help kids learn from poor choices. Adults (coaches or fans) who berate students in public have learned the wrong lesson somewhere. I would hope that if you have a son or daughter who makes a similar error in judgment, that they are fortunate enough to have a coach like ours who will help the student learn the lesson while respecting the dignity of that student.
Any student who is ejected from a game must meet with me to determine if the penalty required by rule is sufficient. And part of my conversation with this young man was about public perception, and what he had done to his and the schools reputation. We at Harwood are proud of our student-athletes; we are proud of our coaches and the great work that they do with our students. We certainly have never been, nor are we now, a "win at all cost" school. And honestly, there really aren't schools like that in Vermont.
I understand that you have your own perspective on the game and this situation; and as an athletic administrator, I can assure you that we deal with any such incident as it happens, and not just when someone calls us on it. Our coach had discussed and dealt with this incident the day after the game, at a time that was appropriate, and in an environment that would lead to learning, recognition of a bad choice and change of behavior, and not just punishment. I hope that you can understand our approach.
Thank you for your email
Sue Duprat
In response to her reply:
Thanks again for your email. I actually do not think that we disagree about the facts.
I remember watching "Superman" shows when I was a kid, and his "slogan" was something like "fighting for Truth, Justice and the American way"! Not fighting for the facts but the truth. And there's the rub.
We saw exactly the same actions; we understand them differently. We "know" the facts; we understand different truths. Watch any of our games. Our players always are greeted by our coach with a hand slap, and often a hug and a hair tussle. I heard what the coach said. Again: "That was unacceptable. You'll be fine, go sit with your teammates."
Did our player show deep remorse for the entire world to see? No, I don't think so either. Was he crying, confused and uncertain. Yes. Sit up straight, take your punishment like a man, and learn that this action is not to be repeated, ever.
Just as I can alter neither your perceptions, nor you mine, neither can we know how another feels in his heart, or what his intentions are.
The truth. It will be ever that elusive. It is just unfortunate that you would be willing to allow your judgment of a team, a coach and a school by actions that, if unseen but with an identical outcome, did the game, our students and our sports world proud. I am proud not of the actions of the student but of the response that our coaches and players did have to that action. Even though you can and have interpreted these actions differently.
Sue Duprat

Subject: Observation From Harwood/BHS Boys Soccer game, Thursday,
Sept. 6
Dear Mr. Pierson,
I am writing you with concerns over the behavior of the coaching staff from your boys' varsity soccer team. The game itself was a good one, played with lots of passion. With my heart in my mouth, I watched Harwood score on a fast breakaway after an unsuccessful attack and a flurry of shots from BHS. Though I am a fan of BHS and was disappointed that Harwood scored, it was fun to watch such a fast transition. The goal was clean and well won.
My concern comes from actions as the game progressed. Emotions became heated and this was to be expected. At one moment in the game, however, there was a breakaway from a BHS striker that looked to be a strong attempt on goal, much in the same way Harwood scored. However, a Harwood player took the BHS player down from behind, hard and illegally, just outside of the penalty box, preventing the shot and preventing the penalty kick. (Had it been three more feet in, a penalty kick would have been awarded where a player has a much greater chance of scoring than a direct kick. Instead, a direct kick was awarded which allowed for defense from Harwood, and the scoring opportunity ended.) The Harwood player paid for his transgression by being expelled from the game and receiving a red card which prevents him from playing for two games. I have no problem with that.
My issue comes with the behavior of the coaches. Upon ejection, the Harwood player received high fives from all his teammates and a hug from both coaches on the bench, congratulations all around. To prevent BHS from scoring, this kid threw out all values of sportsmanship and put great risk of permanent injury to the BHS player by taking him out from behind, and the Harwood coaching staff was elated. Had the BHS team stooped to such lows, Harwood never would have scored the first goal and never would have won the game.
Sportsmanship is a dying ethic in this country. It won't be improved much at the professional level as long as the salaries are so high and the stakes are so crucial. With so much money and prestige on the line, players and coaches play to win at all costs. The only way we can even try to resurrect it is by teaching it and enforcing it at the youth level, where money and prestige are not factors. There were no college scouts at this game, no money was on the line, no contracts were at stake. The support that boy got by getting red carded for a violent foul tells me that the Harwood philosophy of athletics is to win at all costs, and that turns my stomach. It is a huge reflection on your school, because varsity athletes are the school's representatives with the highest profile.
I'd like to know if this incident was brought to your attention. I'd like to know if the atmosphere that encouraged this level of play will be continued. Without some sort of interdiction, nothing will be done. On the scoreboard, Harwood won that game. We'll never know whether BHS could have tied it or not, whether BHS could have then rallied to score another. The dirty tactics worked. Harwood won. If nothing is done, the win-at-all-costs philosophy will continue to spread like rock snot in the Battenkill.
I'm a soccer fan, Mr. Pierson. I want to see good, technical soccer. It's a beauty to behold. Taking a player out from behind to prevent a goal, risking permanent knee and ankle injury to do so is mean and low and should never be tolerated (much less encouraged) at the high school level. If the spirit of the game and principles of sportsmanship aren't upheld by players, coaches and communities, we may as well just arm these kids with bats and the last one standing can beat their chests and call themselves winners.

- A fundamental value in the scientific outlook is concern with the best available map of reality.

If moralities are systems of preferences, here is at least one point at which science cannot be said to be completely without preferences. Science prefers good maps.

- The jnani, following the path of knowledge, always reason about the Reality saying, "not this, not this." Brahman is neither "this" nor "that"; It is neither the universe nor its living beings. Reasoning in this way, the mind becomes steady. Finally it disappears and the aspirant goes into samadhi. This is the Knowledge of Brahman. It is the unwavering conviction of the jnani that Brahman alone is real and the world is illusory. All these names and forms are illusory, like a dream. What Brahman is cannot be described. One cannot even say that Brahman is a Person. This is the opinion of the jnanis, the followers of Vedanta. But the bhaktas accept all the states of consciousness. They take the waking state to be real also. They don't think the world to be illusory, like a dream. They say that the universe is a manifestation of the God's power and glory. God has created all these — sky, stars, moon, sun, mountains, ocean, men, animals. They constitute His glory. He is within us, in our hearts. Again, He is outside. The most advanced devotees say that He Himself has become all this — the 24 cosmic principles, the universe, and all living beings. The devotee of God wants to eat sugar, and not become sugar. (All laugh.) Do you know how a lover of God feels? His attitude is: "O God, Thou art the Master, and I am Thy servant. Thou art the Mother, and I Thy child." Or again: "Thou art my Father and Mother. Thou art the Whole, and I am a part." He does not like to say, "I am Brahman." They yogi seeks to realize the Paramatman, the Supreme Soul. His ideal is the union of the embodied soul and the Supreme Soul. He withdraws his mind from sense objects and tries to concentrate on the Paramatman. Therefore, during the first stage of his spiritual discipline, he retires into solitude and with undivided attention practices meditation in a fixed posture.
But the reality is one and the same; the difference is only in name. He who is Brahman is verily Atman, and again, He is the Bhagavan. He is Brahman to the followers of the path of knowledge, Paramatman to the yogis, and Bhagavan to the lovers of God.
- Ramakrishna, in The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (1942), p. 132
- Some people think that we are stuck in physical reality like flies in flypaper or victims in quicksand, so that each motion we make only worsens our predicament and hastens our extinction. Others see the universe as a sort of theater into which we are thrust at birth and from which we depart forever at death. In the backs of their minds people with either attitude will see a built-in threat in each new day; even joy will be suspect because it, too, must end in the body's eventual death. I used to feel this way. When I fell in love with Rob, my joy served to double the underlying sense of tragedy I felt, as if death mocked me all the more by making life twice as precious. I saw each day bringing me closer to a total extinction that I could hardly imagine, but which I resented with growing vehemence.
- Jane Roberts in The Seth Material, p. 123
- There is no reality but God,
says the completely surrendered sheik, who is an ocean for all beings.

A change could come to Berkeley Countys enforcement of political signs in public right of ways this month.
During Mondays regular meeting of the Justice and Public Safety Committee, council heard from the countys planning director, the Berkeley County GOP chair, and a citizen, who questioned the constitutionality of the countys ordinance regulating erection of political signs in public space.
The county does not allow signs in the public right of ways but, in 2005, created an exemption that said political signs can be placed along roadways within 45 days of an election and would not be subject to setback requirements if it pertained to a candidate or ballot measure. The county does not regulate signs on private property.
No action was taken during the meeting. However, council talked about convening a special meeting April 28 to pass a resolution to halt enforcement of what defines a political sign.
County GOP Chair Terry Hardesty said there is legal precedent for action if county staff removed noncompliant signs. Another citizen commenter said she would file a suit if her signs were removed. Under the current ordinance, an example includes the RINO (Republican in Name Only) signs that are placed in the public right-of-way next to a Republican candidates sign.
Planning Director Eric Greenway also questioned the legality of the countys ordinance.
Im not sure if much of this ordinance would stand up in court, he said. Greenway said hes particularly concerned over the 45-day restriction. He added that his staff would have to enforce whatever ordinance is on the books so it cant be accused of selective enforcement.
In other Berkeley County committee news, the Justice and Public Safety Committee of council approved a budget request seeking an additional 16 corrections officers at Hill-Finklea Detention Center. The request will continue into budget talks in the county.
Last month, Sheriff Wayne DeWitt made the request for the extra staff. He said his employees are working mandatory overtime and safety is a concern. The increased staff would allow more space to open up at the center. The additional officers would be a $775,000 recurring expense.

Just wanted to show you my newly painted vanity. Yes, I actually do sit here and put on my make up. It really is rather fun!
This piece of furniture was left in a house that my sisters lived in in college. Somehow I inherited it, and it sat in our basement for years. I finally realized that I had the perfect spot in our bedroom for it. That was three years ago! It took me three years to decide on a color! Can you believe that! The lamp on the left was given to me by the previous owners of our home. My husband doesn't like it, however, it is one of my favorites! I think it is pretty funky. I do wish it was something rather than gold, and started to paint it also. I quickly realized that was a terrible idea and tried to remove the paint, but could not get it all off. It will probably stay like this until I can figure out how to remove it.

(November 15, 2012) -- The McLennan Highlanders fell to the Angelina Roadrunners 73-68 in double overtime tonight at the Lewis Orr Classic in Corsicana.
The game started extremely slow with both teams struggling to find a rhythm. The Highlanders built a seven-point lead, but the Roadrunners fought back tying the game at 18 with 6:29 to play in the half. MCC responded with a 12-2 run to take the first double-digit lead of the game and held the 32-24 advantage at the break.
The Highlanders extended the lead to 12 early in the second half but Angelina began to chip away. MCC led 49-44 with 3:35 on the clock. The Roadrunners used a 7-0 run in the next two minutes to take the 51-49 lead. The Highlanders went 4-4 from the free throw line to regain the lead but LeMon Gregory's bucket with 5.2 seconds to go tied the game, forcing overtime.
The teams remained tied at 60 following the first extra period. Angelina opened the second overtime on a 4-0 run and drained 9-10 free throws to seal the win.
Tevin Hanner led the Highlanders with 19 points and Devonse Reed scored 13.
MCC will face Jacksonville at 3 p.m. Friday in Corsicana.
Temple College fell to Jacksonville tonight 85-80. Jordan Roach led the Leopards with 23 points and Terry Johnson chipped in 20 points.

Snowshoeing in
the Adirondacks
Snowshoeing has become quite popular in recent years, owing to
exciting equipment advances, new trails, and a renewed spirit to get out and discover the
outdoors in winter. Snowshoeing has been around for eons, and we have rented
snowshoes here at Garnet Hill Ski Center for over 20 years.
The newest equipment advances give snowshoers a great advantage over the old
"woodies". Most new style snowshoes are constructed with a very light
weight aluminum or plastic frame with a light weight decking. In addition these
newer shoes have a snow and ice "claw" that grips into the snow creating a no
slip traction system that's great for mountain ascents. Improved bindings round
out the advances creating a very light easy to use snowshoe. Try 'em out! The
Garnet Hill Ski Center rents and sells Atlas Snowshoes.
Snowshoers will also find a great new network of trails. Intertwined
among our groomed ski trails are snowshoe and mountain bike trails. Combining with
the wilderness trails in the area, snowshoers can enjoy a day or a week of winter
adventure. Picture at right is Balm of Gilead Summit View - a must do for
any snowshoer at Garnet Hill!
