|September 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Participants in the intervention are African American parents or guardians who have children in the 4th or 5th grade that are 12 or younger. Recruitment was done through schools, housing authorities, community based organizations, and churches. Participants were randomly assigned to participate in one of three interventions delivered by community based interventionists. The enhanced sexuality communication intervention consists of five 2.5 hour sessions conducted over 5 weeks with booster sessions at 12 and 24 months post-intervention. The full sexual communication intervention focuses on general parenting skills and sexual communication skills using a variety of presentation modalities: group discussion, video, and role-plays. The brief sexual communication intervention consists of a single 2.5 hour session in which parents are provided with information on general parenting skills and sexual communication skills. Thus, this intervention seeks to provide the same information as the full sexual communication intervention but in a condensed format with little group participation. The control intervention is a single 2.5 hour session focusing on general child health issues such as diet and exercise rather than parenting and sexual communication.

A lot of you are missing the point of this car. It made car of the because it is radical in design, not because it can go fast or look cool. They're also missing the point that many foreign cars are "gov. sponsored". This car is very different than the prius lineup or anything else out there. The leaf was also on my list, but hard to get to vegas on "100 mile" range. The volt has it all. I've had it for over a month and have yet to fill the tank. Gets me to work 18 miles one way and back and then just plug it in and repeat. This is the future until hydrogen infrastructure is figured out. Just think, if we all had a car like this in the garage we could almost kiss opec goodbye!!!

Milwaukee, WI -- The Beloit College Volleyball team made their final road trip of the 2013 season a happy one with a 3-0 sweep of Mount Mary College on Tuesday night.
The Bucs won the match in dominating form, 25-14, 25-10, 25-12.
In the opening set Beloit won ten of the first 15 points and never looked back. Their lead hit 11 points at 24-13 before they closed it out. In set two another dominating start - scoring ten of the first 12 points - decided the match early. The final score was the largest advantage of the set. In the final set the Buccaneers turned an early 3-3 score into an 18-7 lead with a 15-4 burst before coasting in for the match victory.
Molly Schulting paced the attack with 15 kills and a .565 attack percentage, which paved the way for a .325 attack percentage as a team, a season high. Bethany Stavrakas added eight kills on ten attacks (.800) and Taylor Lewis had seven. Carolyn Stransky made 27 set assists while Cheyenne Moffatt contributed nine.
Beloit had 14 service aces, giving them 30 in two matches against MMC. Julianne Gruenhagen led the way with five while Stavrakas had three. Gruenhagen also had 11 digs and Stavrakas ten.
The Buccaneers close out their season this weekend with a pair of Midwest Conference matches in Flood Arena, hosting Ripon College for Senior Night at 7:00 p.m. Friday and Lake Forest College at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.

My Rating Guide, This is a personal rating and not necessarily a reflection of the tea's quality
100-Must have on hand, it is one of my favorite teas
85-99-Really good teas, like exquisitely good
65-84-Not bad, they can be good but generic, or just teas that I found enjoyably ok.
40-64-Not a favorite, but not terrible. I would drink it if it was in front of me but I doubt I would seek it out on my own.
20-40-Not the best tea ever, either it was not to my liking or it was really bland. Chances are I would turn this one down unless I was really thirsty.
0-19-No, just no. Either there was something wrong with this tea or it was utterly undrinkable by me.
I am a nerdy, obsessive, crafty, tea blogging, gaming nut. Yeah, that about sums me up! Ok, you want something more informative….
I am a Geek, hardcore fan-girl Geek. It shapes my life. I spend a large chunk of my life painting miniatures and contemplating my various army layouts. I hoard dice, get obsessed with games, and will talk about whatever fandom, game, etc that I am obsessed over until I am blue in the face. I am not just a gamer girl type Geek, I also fit in the collecting knowledge and spending way too much time reading and researching category of Geek.
But there is more to me than just being a giant nerd. I love tea, always have and have just gotten more and more obsessed as I get older. I love trying new teas and then writing lengthy descriptions about them on my blog, I love reading and researching the history and culture of tea, I love collecting tea pots and fancy tea tools.
When the weather allows it, I love to go mushroom hunting. I don't eat them, instead I use them for photography and spore prints. I love nature and worked as a Naturalist in the Northwoods one summer, it might have been the best job ever.
I have Fibromyalgia, it sucks, but I feel people who are going to interact with me should know since I tend to vanish because of it so fair warning! I do tend to not vanish very long though. Also I have some 'social disorders' which basically translates to I am really awkward and bad at socializing, so forgive any lack of social graces.
I also have cats, love the ocean and all aquatic life, love cheese, and collect hats.
My favorite tea is definitely Oolong, but I also love Japanese greens and…ok I just love tea actually :P I am not a huge fan of lemony black teas or tart fruit teas. I also loathe hibiscus (usually)
This is my actual tea wishlist, you know that I actually update and keep track of…I tend to forget Steepster's https://www.facebook.com/notes/amanda-wilson/tea-wishlishtshopping-list-perpetually-in-progress/10152336515414411 I use my steepster WL to keep track of teas I have had and really want more of :P

LINCOLN — There's no room for confusion or interpretation when you're that sure about something. Make no mistake: Nick Zammarelli's mind is already made up regarding where he wants to play college baseball.
A junior at Lincoln High, Zammarelli recently announced his intention to attend Division I Elon University, located in North Carolina. To issue a verbal that signifies the acceptance of an athletic scholarship package long before Zammarelli is even eligible to sign a national letter of intent speaks volumes of just how comfortable the player is with the school and vice versa.
When you're sure about something, you're sure about something. Clearly Zammarelli is.
"I never expected that I would be committing to a college before starting my junior season. I was fortunate that of the offers I had, every school was a good academic school," Zammarelli stated. "In the end I wanted to go to a place where I could get a good education and become the best possible baseball player. I definitely feel Elon is that place."
Other colleges that approached Zammarelli with scholarship offers include Marist, Northeastern, Bryant University and URI, the latter a spot where Lincoln High has sent many a graduated player over the past decade. The list includes past notables Dan Rhault and Tom Coulombe to present day Rhody players Chris Pickering and Ryan O'Dell.
Thanks to a strong 2011 sophomore season that saw Zammarelli earn first team all-division honors and second team all-state distinction, he was able to get the ball rolling with recruiters, who took even more notice of him following a strong showing at this past fall's World Wood Bat Championships in Jupiter, Fla.
In 18 games with the Lions, Zammarelli batted .433 with an on-base percentage of .500 while slugging at a .600 clip. Generally he was slotted in the heart of Lincoln's batting order, driving in 13 runs while amassing seven extra base hits (five doubles, one triple, one home run).
Ed Hunt, who coaches the 6-foot-1 Zammarelli at Lincoln, noted that he plans to utilize his cornerstone at shortstop (succeeding O'Dell) and on the mound as the No. 2 starter. Down the road, Elon could look to make Zammarelli a corner infielder depending on how much more growing he does.
Zammarelli, in addition to playing hockey at Lincoln, has been a staple of the local baseball scene for quite some time. Formally with the Blackstone Valley Spinners of AAU fame, Zammarelli spent last summer playing on a prospects travel team organized by Rhault, presently a part owner of Extra Innings, an indoor baseball facility located in Warwick. Zammarelli was also a key figure on the Cumberland Post 14 squad that advanced to the final game of the R.I. American Legion Senior Division playoffs.
Naturally it was a team effort in helping Zammarelli sift through the recruiting waters.
"I especially want to thank Coach Hunt and Coach Rhault who have given me great advice and guidance during this recruiting process," Zammarelli stated. "Of course I couldn't have accomplished any of this without the constant support of my parents (Nick Sr. and Lisa)."
Come this November, Zammarelli will officially become a member of the Elon baseball community when he signs on the dotted line. He is heading to a Phoenix program that has not won fewer than 36 games over the past four seasons.
"As a coach, it is very rewarding to learn that one of your players is going on to play at a higher level. We have had many players graduate from Lincoln High School to pursue their dream of playing at various levels in college, but Nick's early verbal commitment to play for an elite academic, Division I baseball program at Elon University is unprecedented," Hunt remarked. "He's one of the best pure hitters that I have had the pleasure of coaching in my entire career. His hard work, passion for the game and mature outlook has gotten him to this point and will aid in his continued success in Lincoln and at Elon. I'm extremely happy for Nick and his family on their decision."

Local sculptor Cliff Green shows several of his creations including the head of an 11-foot-tall prehistoric short-faced bear that will soon be placed in the Eccles Dinosaur park. Green has been sculpting for more than two decades and has won multiple awards, including Best in Show, Professional in the creative arts category at the Utah State Fair for four years running and won the award for the fifth time in 2006.
The texture, detail and anatomical correctness of Green's work is something that can only be experienced to the fullest in person.
Only the detail painting remains before the bear is assembled and shipped to Eccles in one piece. The head alone weighs over 60 pounds.
Local sculptor Cliff Green will showcase another nationally known project later this month as he unveils his life size replica of an 11 foot tall prehistoric short-faced bear at the Eccles Dinosaur Park.
The conclusion of this project marks a turning point in the artist's life as he looks toward a difficult economic climate for most in the fine arts world.
Green, who has been sculpting since he was was a child, has recently returned to college in order to finish obtaining his teaching degree. Not only because he is anxious to share his knowledge and experience with others but because of the need for a steady paycheck.
"Me going back to school should tell you something about the economy," said Green during a Tuesday interview at the Sun Advocate. "When you can make more as a teacher than as a successful fine artist you can tell times have gotten tough."
Green's life as a professional sculptor started in 1999 when his studio designed and sculpted original bas reliefs of a tyrannosaurus and camerasaurus on the east and south side of the North American Museum of Ancient Life in Lehi, at Thanksgiving Point. His studio also has 25 full sized 18 to six foot Triassic and Jurassic pterosaurs for the same museum. They were cast by the dozen and now adorn the museum's ceiling.
Around the same time Green's bronzes were included in the palaeontological art volume; "Dinosaur Imagery, The Lanzendorf Collection." The bronzes are now on permanent display with the rest of the collection at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis, Ind.
Green's art continued to become incredibly popular and in the winter of 2001, he completed a large seven sculpture assignment from the Discovery Channel for their "When Dinosaurs Roamed America," documentary.
The seven prehistoric animals sculpted include a triceratops, torosaurus, einosaurus, centrosaurus, pachyrhinosaurus, zuniceratops and the gigantic pterosaur quetzalcoatlus. All were rendered from a one-fifth to 1/10th scale.
Green then returned to Carbon County to produce local works for the College of Eastern Utah's Prehistoric Museum. He sculpted and painted nine 1/10th scale dinosaurs which are still on display within the local facility. All sculptures were rendered to the specific instructions of the paleontologists who discovered and named them.
"These sculptures are being used for educational purposes also," said Green in a statement concerning his career. "Copies of the nine dinosaurs have traveled extensively in a lecture circuit to public schools in Utah and Colorado to teach children about natural history."
Green continued to work on commissioned projects throughout the decade until funding sources began to dry up, at times in the middle of large scale projects.
"I have had several projects default, leaving me holding the bag on thousands of dollars worth of work and materials," explained Green. "When private grant funding for national parks was re-allocated it hung me out to dry. Things really just fell in place for awhile and I've never wanted to be anything but a full time artist but the current economy has made things tough on all fine artists."
On a more upbeat note, his current work toward his teaching degree is going well and the Eccles bear project's completion will free up time for him to look for new commissions.
"The bear has taken more than four months to construct, it ended up being a much larger project than I had originally thought," he said. "But I think it's going to be a very accurate representation of the species."
According to Green, the bear which will take more than 20 hours to paint, was modeled after remains found in the same area as the Huntington mammoth. And it the largest ever discovered of the short-faced bear species.
To construct this particular type of sculpture, Green starts with a steel skeleton or armature and then roughs out the animal's muscle mass with foam pads to produce the general shape. The mass is then cast in clay and rubber molds are produced. When the molds are removed they are filled with a layer of fiberglass and resin and allowed to harden.
The dried resin and fiberglass is then formed around the original armature at which time the sculpting is finished and the animal is painted.
Green says that he likes this form of sculpture because it holds a particular muse for him.
The local artist is looking to expand his artistic abilities by starting production of one ups, (a single piece sculpture) made of cement that are not meant to be re-cast.
"You make one sculpture and then don't replicate it," he explained.
Green sees the future as wide open and is excited to be working in Utah as it is seen as one of the hottest spots in the world for new animal discovery.

Sometimes the final foe can make or break an otherwise good game. These are some examples of when the final boss definitely is NOT fun to fight. Why developers do this is anyone's guess, but I'm sure we can all agree that these fights SUCK! Thanks for the feature, GT!

Josh Henderson stars as Kratos, an orphan teen who just transfered to Spartan Academy. There he meets Athena (Zane Bauer), an alluring rebel with parental issues herself. The two hit it off almost immediately, and find they share much more in common than they originally thought when Kratos is introduced to Athena's father Zeus (Michael Sadorf), the same father who abandoned Kratos at an early age. Determined to reconnect with his son after more than a decade of absence, Zeus forbids Kratos from seeing Athena, yet the star-crossed lovers find themselves inexplicably attracted to one another, despite the newfound revelation of their relation.

well I just learned about podcasts today :-[ but I was wondering what are some good shows. Right now all I have is TWiT, LQ Radio, Daily Source Code, Linux Tech Show.
CBC Radio is offering its fledgeling Radio 3 in podcast form. It's a weekly show focusing on Canadian youth. Up and coming entertainers geared towards youth, pertinent issues, interesting views. I'd recommend checking it out.
amarok crashes alot on podcasts, what apps do you guys use?
bashpodder right now, but as soon as Rhythmbox adds functionality (patches are on the mailinglist) I'll use that.
I have been listening for about 12 years now. They have some really kick ass guests, such as Michio Kaku and the late Ftr Malachai Martin. It costs to get the stream, but well worth it.
[quote author=coltrane link=board=14;threadid=10492;start=0#msg95664 date=1125067144]
coast2coast is hilarious!
Did you hear the ep last week with JC? Email me if you want it. 40 minutes of insanity == 40 minutes of me on myy ass in tears laughing. the rest of the show was good, new space tech and bit of interesting tidbits on mars.
[quote author=Lovechild link=board=14;threadid=10492;start=0#msg94399 date=1117784426]
kudos for suggestion. I just got around to listen to it. its great!

How Drupal 7 Manages Linked Data for Smart Web Experiences [September 10, 2013]
Want to learn more about Acquia's products, services, and happenings in the Drupal Community? Visit our site: http://bit.ly/yLaHO5.
Drupal 7 makes it easy to create great digital experiences by managing the semantics for enterprise applications within a content management system. Drupal 7 provides the essential resources for defining Linked Data elements as content types with native support for RDFa built into its core.
As a result, Drupal easily maintains semantically aware content within an enterprise application environment. Extensions developed by the Drupal community provide direct support for such varied applications as the extensible schema defined by Schema.org, SPARQL endpoints for remote queries, and WebID for online identity authentication and management.
In this webinar, we will:
• Explain how this semantic spicing make a difference for the flexibility of web experiences
• Describe the results from several Drupal-powered projects that are now managing their content as Linked Data
• Identify how these projects add new dimensions to web solutions by exposing third party datasets
• Highlight promising use cases for embedding semantics into enterprise applications

Willamette Week's Eat Moble 2010: The Highlight Reel from wweek.vimeo on Vimeo.
Willamette Week's Eat Moble 2010: The Highlight Reel from wweek.vimeo on Vimeo.
Willamette Week's third annual Eat Mobile food cart festival finally arrived Saturday afternoon, and it was huge. How huge? We squeezed 30 carts under two and a half blocks of the Morrison bridge and packed in some 1,900 hungry Portlanders (check out the line!), who between them drank 150 gallons of Pabst Blue Ribbon and ate every last bite of food. (Check out the big Eat Mobile photo slideshow by Roger Bong, too.)
The winners of the sorta-prestigious Carty Awards, chosen by a panel of foodie luminaries, were Garden State for overall tastiness and Moxie RX for style. The People's Choice award, to no one's surprise, went to Whiffies Fried Pies. The surest way to a Portlander's heart is, apparently, a deep fryer. Flavorspot, who brought their ever-popular maple-sausage waffle taco, came in a close second.

RIO DE JANEIRO — After three extravagant and costly days of trying to "save the world" at the United Nations Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development, the final outcomes were announced to the world. More than $500 billion was pledged to the so-called "sustainability" cause by governments, Big Business, and multilateral development banks. Also, a 50-page agreement bizarrely dubbed "The Future We Want" was adopted by virtually every national government on Earth. It was hardly everything UN supporters had sought, but progress was certainly made on moving their vision forward.
The agenda, of course, had been laid out in detail in UN documents and pre-conference gatherings long before the official summit even began. It was on full display throughout the confab, too. Essentially, the controversial global institution and its supporters hoped to concentrate even more power at the international level in a bid to re-shape human civilization from the top down. The justifications: environmental issues, poverty, gender inequality, and countless other real and perceived ills — though alleged concern for the poor officially became the primary excuse, displacing supposed fears over the environment that had long been the focal point.
On the UN wish list were planetary taxes and regulations; less prosperity and consumption; new educational paradigms to indoctrinate future generations; a shift in values, opinions, and lifestyles; population reduction; and much more. The creation of global currency was even considered to pay for it all. Of course, all of the goals would have necessarily come at the expense of national sovereignty, economic freedom, prosperity, individual liberty, private-property rights, and other cherished notions.
In the end, however, the grandiose vision of an all-powerful UN enforcing its controversial notions of "sustainability" did not come to fruition — at least not completely. Supporters of the agenda were largely disappointed, though some remained hopeful. Critics, on the other hand, celebrated the news, saying the UN and its dangerous scheming were now on the defensive. But there is more to the outcome than meets the eye.

Update October 10: CBS has pulled Made in Jersey off the Friday schedule effectively cancelling the show.
Normally this time of year I'd be checking my e-mail and Twitter religiously until at least 9pm PT just to make sure Fox didn't wait for New York to fall asleep before announcing they'd canceled Mob Doctor. I'm not so sure this year. With Mob Doctor on break for the next few weeks while the MLB playoffs and World Series take place, it looks to me like Fox is trying to buy some time to dodge the bad PR of being the first network to cancel one of its new shows. That's the only reason I can think of the cancellation hasn't already been announced, and I can't help but wonder if that's a good reason.
Perhaps there are other reasons, but... The show obviously debuted badly (a 1.5 live+SD adults 18-49 rating) only to slip another 40% to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating in its third episode. It will definitely be canceled, and it's hard to imagine repeats performing much worse.
We frequently poo poo network PR, but if Fox is just waiting to not have the first cancellation, they're putting a price tag on avoiding that negative PR that is at least in the 7 figure range. Just how expensive it winds up is a function of whether/when one of the other networks blinks first and cancels one of its shows.

For WCS to be successful in its mission to save wildlife and wild places, our conservation work must benefit people as well as animals. Directly or indirectly, we all depend on Earth's resources for our livelihoods and our survival. People around the world fish, farm, log, and hunt for food, shelter, and other necessities for their families and communities. However, these resources are finite. If we harvest and use them in unsustainable ways, the resources we need will eventually run out. WCS conservationists work with community leaders and members to develop ways people can use their land and water to generate income while promoting natural resource conservation. We help local people create new agricultural products and practices, modify fishing techniques, generate ecotourism revenue, and provide recovery aid to areas devastated by violence and natural disasters. Investing in the current and future quality of life is the key to sound conservation practice.
Despite three decades of warfare, Afghanistan gazetted its first national park on Earth Day 2009. WCS field scientists conducted wildlife surveys, delineated the park's boundaries, and helped the government develop Band-e-Amir's management plan, hire and train its rangers, and design new laws for the national park's creation.
A 12-year study off the coast of
Kenya deconstructs old notions of how fishery closures affect local economies. Hint: They help them.
African giant snails are giving local villagers big options when it comes to food and livelihoods, and gorilla poaching is not one of them.
A new study says that banning certain types of fishing gear can help save coral reefs from the damaging effects of climate change, by protecting key fish populations that help stressed reefs recover.
For the world's poor who live outside the borders of cities and towns, help is often scarce. A new WCS-led study identifies some 16 million impoverished people who make their homes in remote corners of the globe, out of reach of major development assistance programs.
"Conservation cotton" from Africa is making its way onto the backs of U2 fans across the world, thanks to a partnership between Hard Rock International, T-shirt company edun LIVE, and WCS.

The Associated Press (AP), quoting Yemeni security officials, reports that a drone believed to be American fired missiles at two cars late Thursday morning, October 4, in Yemen. The officials quoted in the AP story report that "at least five" people were killed, all of whom were traveling in one of the two cars targeted by the drone.
Other accounts of the attack say four people were killed. Apparently, no tally of the casualties from the other vehicle was taken.
Shabwa province, the site of the attack, is described by the AP as "one of several Yemeni provinces were al-Qaida has concentrated."
Agence France-Press (AFP), quoting local tribal chief Abdulmajid al-Awlaqi, reports that the five men killed by the missile strike were "militants," members of a group called Ansar Al-Sharia (Partisans of Islamic Law).
This pretext for the killings brings up the question: When did militancy become a crime? If it is a crime, moreover, where is it defined? How can anyone know if he is guilty of militancy if such a crime is not defined? Could one hypothetically be a militant without knowing it, given that the crime is nowhere defined?
Furthermore, is the suspicion that one is associated with a group believed to be capable of planning attacks on American allies sufficient justification for the immediate execution of that person?

You probably have to set the right refresh rate on your configuration file. Get the information from the monitor manufacturer, and edit it on your /etc/X11/XF86Config file or /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
The screen on my laptop is b0rked, so I'm wanting to plug a monitor inot the video out thing at the back and use it with a crt. It works, but for some reason the bottom.. maybe 20% of the screen is blank. The image isn't distorted or anything, it's like it just decides it can't be bothered drawing any further down.
I've tried messing around with the video setup, changing the monitor to a standard 1024x768 crt, but it just does exactly the same thing. It will draw the full screen if I'm in command line mode.
If I can't fix this I'm gonna have to put windows xp or something one it.. and you don't want that , do you? ;-)
FWIW I'm using kde 3, fedora core 2, gdm , the laptop, I guarentee you never heard of, but it has an sis650 graphics card and the monitor is a crappy old ibm g74.
I'm guessing there's an x config file somewhere that I need to monkey around with. I'm not bothered if it screws up the display on the laptop screen because it has a tasty looking crack in it anyway.
You probably have to set the right refresh rate on your configuration file. Get the information from the monitor manufacturer, and edit it on your /etc/X11/XF86Config file or /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Thanks, I'll have a look when I get home
Hmmm, the settings for the monitor all appear to be corrrect, and it did the same thing on my housemates monitor as well.
Did you googled or checked the manual for the horizontal and vertical refresh rate for your monitor, and put it in?
I did indeed;
is the data sheet for the monitor, the important bits are,
Max Viewable Area (mm) 323 x 242
Horizontal Frequency (kHz) 30 - 69
Vertical Frequency (Hz) 50 - 120
I've tried the display size one at 323 - 242, and commented out. it didn't seem to affect it in any way.Code:Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "IBM 6447 G72" # DisplaySize 323 - 242 HorizSync 30.0 - 69.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 Option "dpms" EndSection
What video output driver are you using?
Show us the SubSection "Device"
Code:Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "sis" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "SiS 650" EndSection
Try just using the standard vesa driver, see if that works. All you'll need to do is replace "sis" with "vesa"
Also what video modes are you trying to run this at, and what colour depth?
It was trying to do 1024x768 24 bit, I've since reduced the colour depth to 16 bit.
I've tried using the vesa driver and that seems to have done the trick! I wasn't exactly planning on using this thing for anything graphics intensive, but will i notice a performance hit from doing that?
Thanks though, that seems to be working

MADRID – There is nothing like the feeling of grass between your bare toes during a north country summer.
That is the lesson that Fresh Air Fund St. Lawrence County Representative Gail M. Bice instills in children ages 6 to 12 who visit the north country from the five New York City boroughs via the Fresh Air Fund summer program for the first time.
Mrs. Bice and her husband, Scott, have hosted two children in their Madrid home in the last four years. Her first visitor, Joe Mansam, 10, loved it so much he came back for a second time.
We call him Joe Weed the Garden because he loves spending time in our garden, she said. When he went home to the Bronx, he brought two recyclable bags filled with vegetables from the garden, and introduced his mother to zucchini.
Mrs. Bices family purchased a bicycle so that Joe could ride to and from the garden along with their son Owen, 8.
I think it is a great eye-opener for them when they hang out together, she said. Even though they live in the same state, they have different cultures and different ways of living. Joe loves that he can ride his bike to the park and know he is safe.
A third-generation Fresh Air Fund host along with her sisters Earline A. LaFleur and Melody Rishe, Mrs. Bices involvement in the Fresh Air Fund stems from a long-standing family tradition.
My grandparents in Lawrenceville hosted children while my mother was growing up, she said. My uncle, Danni Wilson, was named after their first Fresh Air child.
Her daughter, Brandy L. Bradish, hopes to continue that tradition.
Last weekend, Mrs. Bice was named Fresh Air Fund Representative of the Year at a special ceremony with over 400 attendees at the Marriot Marquis in New Yorks Times Square.
It was a blast, she said.
Mrs. Bice has been instrumental in extending the reach of the Fresh Air Fund in St. Lawrence County. There are currently over 50 volunteer families in the north country who help introduce urban children to rural life.
I think its just the comparison of how we live and how they live, she said. They only see the big city and the hustle and bustle, but we have so much to offer here still in New York. It is so relaxing to get out of the hustle and bustle.
This years program will run from July 15 to 25 and Aug. 9 to 20.
We are looking for host families, she said. We want to make our area grow because we have so much to offer. These kids are just happy to be in your backyard, having a picnic or having glass of lemonade on your front porch.
She said that the organization is also looking for families to serve as substitute host families in the event of an emergency or death in the family.
We accept everyone, she said. Same-sex partners, and open or empty nests. Grandparents also make wonderful hosts.
For more information, contact Mrs. Bice at firstname.lastname@example.com or 323-0120.

The Weeknd Debuts 'Devil May Cry' Off 'Catching Fire' Soundtrack
One of the most anticipated movies of the year's is 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' the sequel to last year's popular theatrical adaptation of the novel. If it's anything like the first installment, it's going to be a pretty emotional flick. So it's understandable that moody R&B crooner The Weeknd is a contributor for the film's soundtrack.
'Devil May Cry' finds The Weeknd singing over an acoustic guitar before backing vocals join him for the chorus. The sound gives way to a more epic, grander atmosphere that mixes in what sounds like an electric guitar, thumping percussion and a heavy, underlying synth.
The new Weeknd cut is also the longest on the 'Catching Fire' soundtrack at over five minutes. It's clear he's not really aiming for the radio with this track. "It won't be in vain / To swallow all your pain / And learn to love what burns / And gather courage to return," he sings.
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' soundtrack will also feature contributions from 17-year-old pop wunderkund Lorde, Christina Aguilera, Santigold and plenty others.
The star-studded soundtrack officially hits stores Nov. 19, while the movie hits theaters Nov. 22.

Abajo and Blue Mountains. DWR Conservation officer Randall Scheetz reports that there is no safe ice in San Juan County.
Cleveland Reservoir. The reservoir is frozen but has not been used by ice anglers.
Huntington Creek. The creek is frozen, except where the current is strong. The first mile below Electric Lake dam is probably the best place to fish. From Flood and Engineer's Canyon upstream to the dam, only artificial flies may be used. The limit is two fish.
Huntington North Reservoir. The reservoir is frozen. Anglers have been out on the ice, although the thickness and quality of ice is questionable.
Huntington Reservoir (near the top of Huntington Canyon). The reservoir is frozen with 15 or more inches of ice. Wind and cold have reduced angler pressure.
Joes Valley Reservoir. The reservoir has recently frozen. Most anglers are having success south of the marina on the west side, where the ice is six to eight inches.
Conservation officer Kip Draper described fishing as good. He recommends chartreuse jigs and worms.
The limit is two trout. No more than one trout may be over 22 inches. All trout 15 to 22 inches must be immediately released.
Scofield Reservoir. The reservoir continues to offer good fishing, especially before 10 a.m. The wind whips up by noon.
Now that the reservoir has frozen, ice anglers have been drilling holes almost everywhere. Small white, chartreuse and silver jigs, tipped with bait, have performed well.
Many of the trout are eight to 10 inches, although a fair number range from 18 to 22 inches.
Straight Canyon. For the most part, the creek is covered with ice. No recent report.

Comments about Cerwin-Vega CVP-1152 1000W 15" 2-Way PA Speaker:
I bought a pair of the CVP-1152 and the CV-2800 power amp based on hearing them at a tradeshow. The things that attracted me to these speakers:Really clear soundCool looksAbility to be a floor monitor or a main cabinetSolid buildCan play REALLY loudThings I don't likeSomewhat heavyThis is a passive 2 way 15" speaker. I've used the basic Yamahas (4115), Mackie (SRM), JBLs and Peavey cabinets, some which cost less than this Cerwin-Vega, but those cabinets don't play loud and are not really in the same league. This Cerwin-Vega is head and shoulders above those cabs in that they handle lots of power, play loud and clear, and have so much more detail than the cheaper cabinets. Also the low end KICKS! Because of this, I find I don't need so much EQ on the main outputs. I use them without a sub, but for bigger gigs I may be getting a powered sub.

Annual Dinner Honors Ethics Essay Award Winners
Posted on: September 16, 2013 08:00 EDT by Midshipman 2nd Class Elizabeth Shields
More than 50 second class Naval Academy Midshipmen joined Superintendent Vice Adm. Michael H. Miller for a special meal honoring the midshipmen who participated in the semiannual Vice Admiral William P. Lawrence Ethics Essay Competition.
Midshipman 2nd Class Brian Mihaljevich won the fall semester competition with his essay "Cyberspace and Civilians: How are the two interconnected?" The winner for the spring semester was Midshipman 2nd Andrew Sullivan for his essay "Extending the Arm of War: An Ethical Examination of Targeted Killing."
Both Midshipmen received a copy of Admiral Lawrence's biography "Tennessee Patriot," a plaque commemorating the achievement, and a small stipend.
The essay finalists include: Midshipmen 2nd Class Andrew Jones, Joshua Babb, Ashton McCombs, Kyle Waldorf, John McAuliffe, Ian Eversman, and Michael Segalla.
Each semester, the Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership organizes a competition to select the outstanding ethics essay written in the academy's core ethics course for third class midshipmen, "Ethics and Moral Reasoning for the Naval Leader." Members of the Ethics, Leadership and Law faculty choose 4-6 finalists per semester and send those essays to readers at outside institutions to review and rank. The rankings determine a winner for each academic term.
Among the topics midshipmen wrote about were the ethics of war in cyber space, the obligations of military service, targeted killing, and Syrian intervention.
Retired Vice Adm. William R. Burke (USNA 1978), former deputy chief of naval operations for warfare systems and guest speaker at the awards dinner, spoke about the ethical dilemmas junior officers face every day in the fleet and encouraged careful thought and rehearsal of similar scenarios.
He said the hardest choices involve conflicts in things that are "rooted in our core values."
We are not always confronted with an easy choice between right and wrong. The hardest challenge comes when the choice at hand is a "Right vs. Right" dilemma, said Burke.

Other than the single player campaign, isn't all Call of Duty online? Well, yes. But in China, it's Call of Duty Online. Announced today, the game is published by Chinese gaming giant Tencent. Activision first mentioned the free-to-play, microtransaction-based game back in February 2011.
While consoles are banned in China, the microtransaction-based model on PC is widespread throughout Mainland China. The country's gray market also makes consoles and console games readily available.
Late last month, Activision snatched up a slew of Call of Duty related web addresses—17 in total. The websites are probably protecting the Call of Duty online presence in China from internet bad guys.

MALONE A LifeNet helicopter now will be available for skiers who suffer a life-threatening injury while at Titus Mountain Family Ski Center, 215 Johnson Road.
The helicopter will be manned with a paramedic, a nurse and a pilot, said Doug Yando, coordinator of the ski patrol program at Titus Mountain. Its basically an (Intensive Care Unit) in the air.
Mr. Yando said that once the patient is in the helicopter, the crew will decide which hospital to fly to be it Fletcher Allen Health Care, Burlington, Vt., or a different facility. LifeNet will operate from its base in Potsdam and can respond in 15 minutes, Mr. Yando said.
Zach White, general manager of Titus Mountain, is working with his crew to build a helicopter pad as part of the new parking lot expansion at the base of the lower mountain, Mr. Yando said.
LifeNet of New York offers an onboard formulary of almost 80 different medications, invasive monitoring, critical care mechanical ventilation, equipment to perform definitive airway management, surgical procedures, obstetrical dopplers, therapeutic hypothermia supplies and the cyanide toxicity antidote, according to a LifeNet news release.
Mr. Yando said that ski patrol still will be around and will have a fully equipped medical center with beds at both the top and bottom of the mountain. There will be six or seven ski patrol members at the mountain per day, he said.
One helicopter will be in place, parallel to the ski patrol building, for Oktoberfest on Saturday, Mr. Yando said. The flight crew also will be on hand.
Mr. Yando said that every year, there are a few life-threatening situations on the mountain, such as heart attacks.
Patients flown by LifeNet will have their insurance billed, Mr. Yando said, but those who dont have insurance still will be served. No ones turned down, he said.
Mr. Yando said ski patrol employees will be trained on what is expected of us when LifeNet is called into play.
Ski Patrol Director Gordon Halley said a protocol will be established between the ski patrol and the mountain management team before implementing the service.
Mr. Yando said the helicopter service was looked into last year, but because the ski area was unable to place a helicopter pad across from the ski patrol lodge, the move was postponed.

Some pumpkin growers in St. Lawrence County are picking and displaying the largest pumpkins theyve seen in years.
Following an abundant apple harvest in the area, pumpkins are making their way to stores and roadside stands.
Suzanne M. Nobles roadside stand is selling pumpkins, with more in the patch to be picked.
Were open and ready for business and we look forward to seeing lots of kids picking out their biggest pumpkins ever, she said.
Mrs. Nobles family has had a pumpkin patch at Old State Road and Lincoln Road in Canton for 18 years.
She said that although a rainy spring forced them to replant parts of their crop, slowing the pumpkins down by about two weeks, theyve been picking the largest pumpkins theyve ever had.
We had such torrential downpours in the spring that we had to replant, which were not used to, she said. They got a later start than we typically have, but the pumpkins got extremely large this year.
Mrs. Nobles 4-acre patch produced thousands of pumpkins this year, but not as many as last year, she said.
The family also has a roadside stand on Route 11 between Canton and DeKalb where it sells a variety of squash, pumpkins and specialty pumpkins.
The buttercup squash are smaller this year and the butternuts are bigger, Mrs. Noble said. Its hard dealing with Mother Nature because you just never know what youre going to get.
Michael B. Livingston, a pumpkin harvester of nine years, said he had similar experiences this year with his patch.
He, too, had to replant some of his specialty pumpkins, and most of them are about two weeks late.
The first bunch we planted was a complete wipeout and nothing came up, he said. That wet, cold spat in early June rotted the seeds.
Mr. Livingston, 3967 Route 11, DeKalb Junction, said ideal weather for pumpkins is warm and dry in May and June so the seeds will sprout, followed by rain to help them grow and night temperatures below 70 degrees. Thats why they cant grow pumpkins in the South, because its too warm at night, he said.
Despite the trouble early on, Mr. Livingston said, the regular jack-o-lantern pumpkins were not affected by the early wet spell. Overall, he said, the crop is one of the best hes seen in awhile.
The pumpkins are a good size, he said. The best weve had in years.
Mr. Livingston said he harvests about 10 kinds of pumpkins and 10 varieties of squash every year.
Everything is late, but theyre coming in looking really good, he said.
Mr. Livingston said he will be putting up his full pumpkin display this weekend, preparing for business to pick up as October approaches.
