Most women (ourselves included) have a mental catalogue of those go-to resources that never disappoint. Whether itÂ's the secret local salon that gives transformative $20 blowouts or our favorite, always abundantly stocked newsstand, we depend on a few places to help us get through the day stylishly. As such, whenever itÂ's time to pick up some on-trend footwear and of-the-moment accessories, we visit the reliable refuge of Nine West. Since weÂ're such fans, we are delighted to hear from Fred Allard, Creative Director of Nine West, as he shares some of this seasonÂ's most standout items. Read on for his forecasts about the products youÂ'll surely want to incorporate into your outfits this fall.
1. Zayit Boot ($130)
Allard points out one of fallÂ's leading footwear trendsÂ--lace-up boots. The Zayit BootÂ's tough structure is offset by its soft suede finish. He suggests wearing them with bright colored tights to bring some femininity to your look.
2. Dasolina Pump ($99)
Lace-up, menswear-inspired touches are one of AllardÂ's favorite looks this season. He likes this rich purple suede pump for its deep hue and peep-toe detail.
3. Dakota Bag ($100) and Fringe Belt ($38)
According to Allard, fringe is the must-have accompaniment to fallÂ's bohemian styles. The large Dakota Tote and wide suede Fringe Belt allow you to incorporate this trend in a minimal, yet effective, way.
4. Iam Ankle Boot ($109)
For a romantic and edgy vibe, Allard loves lace-embellished footwear. The Iam Ankle Boot is open at the top of the foot to reveal a little skin, while the entire upper is covered in black lace.
5. Dyana Pump ($89)
Plaid is a fun and unexpected pattern for shoes. Allard likes the flirty statement made by the Dyana PumpÂ's plaid and leather combo. The stacked platform adds some sex-appeal to the pumpsÂ' school uniform vibe.
6. Laffitte Ankle Boot ($119)
One of AllardÂ's favorite finishes are chic animal prints. The Laffitte Bootie is an item that can be worn now with leg-baring summer styles and can carry you into fall paired with tights, leggings, and supersize sweaters.
7. Yung Boot ($119)
These strappy, fetish-style, open-toe boots are AllardÂ's faveÂ--weÂ're pretty obsessed too. Allard praises their versatility in style and function, and suggests wearing them with jeans, skirts, or a form-fitting dress for looks ranging from tough biker to modern and chic.

Psychoticism is an aspect of the personality, which is roughly defined as the predisposition of the person to psychotic-type behaviour (not actually having a full-blown psychotic episode yourself). It was popularised by Hans Eysenck as part of his personality questionnaire the P-E-N (Psychoticism, Extraversion (sic), Neuroticism). The questionnaire was later expanded to include Social Desirability, or if you prefer, Lying.Roland Deschain wrote:EDIT: Psychoticism?

WADDINGTON - From its walls peppered with paintings and watercolors by local artists to its black forest crepe topped with chocolate mousse and maraschino cherries, Artworks Creperie, 2 Main St., has grown to become a unique stop for travelers along Route 37.
Although owner Mark Scott may not be an artist, he does recognize the importance of investing in local talentbe it the three employees who craft his crepes or the dozens of artists whose works line the walls of his restaurant and gallery.
As far as I know, were the only creperie north of Lake Placid, Mr. Scott said. I wanted to create a destination that would bring people to Waddington. Not many people know about Waddington. I am noticing more and more that many people who stop here will often ask me where the local real estate office is.
Going into its fifth year in business, Artworks Creperie has expanded to include a space for live entertainment, Sunday morning breakfast buffets, a summer dinner menu, and more space for artists to display their work.
Employees continue to create new sweet and savory crepes, such as vegetable fete, ham and Swiss cheese, and apples and cinnamonMr. Scotts favorite.
Many times my staff will come to me with their own creations, he said. I always say its my idea, but its the people that work for me who make it happen. You have to have good people.
A Russell native, Mr. Scott said he moved to Waddington in 1997 after living in the Binghamton area for over 12 years.
We decided to move back to the north country because, in my mind, there is no better place to raise children, he said. Its a quiet, safe and rural environment with good schools, clean air and fresh water. When you first drive down Main Street in Waddington and see the St. Lawrence River, its an incredible sight. You cant beat it.
It was the river that provided inspiration for Mr. Scotts first business venture, St. Lawrence Boat Tours.
The boat tour company began as a way to invest in the area, he said. I wanted the building fixed up. I wanted to see something good happen and jobs created. Eventually, it became too difficult to keep up. I began searching for business that was year-round, and thats when I came up with the idea for a creperie.
While working on Main Street, Mr. Scott joined a committee comprised of a dozen other residents called the Waddington Redevelopment Association.
The group aimed to revitalize Main Street through private investment and public outreach.
The groups efforts spawned the Clark House project, Waddington Recorder, Waddington Concert Series, and gazebo project.
We were trying to engage our elected officials at the time, he said. Thats how I became involved in local government. I started going to all the town board meetings. Eventually, once you start getting that involved, you become part of the process.
After serving on the Town Council for two years, Mr. Scott decided to run for Town Supervisor. Since he was elected, Mr. Scott said his main goal as Town Supervisor has been to bring economic development to the area.
In 2011, Mr. Scott and the Town Council worked with residents to conduct a strategic economic development study that eventually became the towns community plan. The community plan, which took almost a year and half to complete, outlined potential plans to develop over 200 acres of land returned by the New York Power Authority in 2005 as part of the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project Relicensing Settlement Agreement.
Development of our former NYPA surplus lands is critical to the future of Waddington, he said. At times the debates can become contentious, but I am confident were getting closer to finding agreeable solutions that will benefit the community as a whole.
The future, he says, will rely on balancing the preservation of Waddingtons idyllic, small town charm with new development.
The future of Waddington is a combination of things that are compatible to the tourism component and outdoor recreation, Mr. Scott said. Waddington could be an outdoor recreational destination. It could also be a place for art and culture. Many people have asked me why not build a creperie in Potsdam or Canton, but I say why not Waddington? This is where we live and raise our families. Why shouldnt we invest in our community? I hope that by joining other businesses here, I can encourage other potential business owners to invest here as well.

Mr. Scott is this years recipient of the Clarkson University Reh Center for Entrepreneurships Entrepreneur of the Year Award, which recognizes a practicing entrepreneur who demonstrates an unwavering commitment to building their small business and supporting their community.
He will be honored at the Reh Center for Entrepreneurship at Clarkson Universitys third annual Entrepreneur Recognition Dinner beginning at 5 p.m. April 19, at Clarksons Cheel Campus Center.
Marc Compeau, instructor for Clarkson Universitys School of Business, will receive the Entrepreneurs Hero Award at the dinner.
Jeff Taylor, director of the Career Center at Clarkson, will receive the Spirit of Entrepreneurship Award. Alumni Randy Rothe, chief executive officer of ViTEX, Mooresville, N.C., will be inducted into the Clarkson Alumni Entrepreneur Hall of Fame.

PORTVILLE, NY--- Although WNY is rich with unique habitat, there are few places as diverse as the Pfeiffer Nature Center in Portville.
From old growth forest to reclaimed farmland, the center has the region's natural history written in every step. The center is actually made up of two tracts of land that could not be more distinct.
The Lillibridge property spans 188 acres of mostly forest that provides visitors with a glimpse of the procession of the ecology.
The Eshelman land is over 400 acres of fields and creeks that once was thriving farmland. The land is hidden with the Enchanted Mountains of the Southern Tier, a place one the edge of the glacial history of the region. Now lush with growth, the area was once plundered by the lumber industry, providing wood that contributed to the history of the nation. Susan Avery is the center's Naturalist." The lumber was used to build Pittsburgh, build St. Louis, places as far south as New Orleans, so as we progressed past the Mississippi River, a lot of that building is a result of the fact that the lumber was available in Western New York."
It's ironic then that the Lillibridge property was donated to the community by Wendy Pfeiffer Lawrence, the daughter of a former lumbering magnate, and the nature center was established in 1998.
The acreage we see today was cherished by the family and remained intact despite being surrounded by timber that was being taken down in the name of progress. Part of the forest on this land is old growth, a rare and dwindling habitat, Avery explains." Old growth forests are very rare, in NY State they define old growth as over 150, we have trees that are over 250 years old in the stand, it's not virgin, obviously it's been touched by man at some point, but an old growth forest gives people an opportunity to see what a forest would look like when it matures." Margaret Cherre is Pfeiffer's Executive Director.
" We know, across the country, most people will not travel more than about fifty to a hundred feet from their car, from the parking lot, and here you can be in an old growth forest in that amount of time."
Moving out of the old growth, hikers pass into a younger forest and open fields sprouting brand new growth. It's a diversity seldom seen in one area,says Avery." It's like being able to see China and England and Morocco all in the same location, you have three very distinct ecosystems right next to one another and those transition zones provide a wealth of opportunities to explore."
The Pfeiffer family's summer cabin, built in the thirties, is still standing strong on the land.
The log cabin is built of American Chestnut, a once thriving tree devastated by disease, that is now all but extinct in Eastern North America. Avery says the cabin and a few surviving trees are a testament to a species that once numbered over 3 billion. " Today we have the cabin as a remnant and that's one of the reasons why it's on the National Historic Registry because of the materials that it's built of and it's construction style, but our forest has remnants as well."
The center could not flourish without it's dedicated volunteers who are carrying the center's philosophy like seeds in the wind.
Michael Grosso has been associated with Pfeiffer since a very young age." I got acquainted very early with Pfeiffer Nature Center with some of the programs they've had up here and eventually figured out this is what I like, and got the opportunity to sort of return the favor a little bit, helping other kids learn about this great preserve." Rebekah Schimp is also a volunteer at the center." I get to think about how this can be fun for kids, how this can be educational for kids,I get to think about how can they get outside and learn something and have fun at the same time, how can I get other kids involved so that they learn about this and hopefully get the kind of same experience that I did, and hopefully get the same desire and respect to protect what we have."
Cherre explains that as the center celebrates it's fifteenth year of education and preservation, it draws from it's history to look into the future. " Everything is connected to everything else,and one small piece goes, we just don't know the massive repercussions of that, so helping to look both back and forward at the same time is important."

They are all over your camp site. They are in your camper cabins and assembly areas. In fact, you probably have them delivered to camp with every order you place with camp vendors. Educate yourself. Find out about inhalants before your campers do.
Many adults are in the dark concerning the popularity and danger of inhalant use. But youth are quickly discovering that common household products are inexpensive to obtain, easy to hide, easily available, and are an easy way to get "high."
Inhalant Abuse Can Kill
It can kill suddenly, and it can kill those who sniff for the first time.
Every year, young people in this country die of inhalant abuse. Hundreds also suffer severe consequences, including permanent brain damage, loss of muscle control, and destruction of the heart, blood, kidney, liver, and bone marrow.
Today more than 1,000 different products are commonly abused. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported in 1996 that one in five American teenagers have used inhalants to get high.
Many youngsters say they begin sniffing when they are in grade school. They start because they feel these substances can't hurt them, because of peer pressure, or because of low self-esteem. Once hooked, these victims find it tough to break the habit.
What is inhalant abuse?
Inhalant abuse is the deliberate inhalation or sniffing of common products found in homes, camps, and schools to obtain a "high." You are familiar with many of these substances — paint, glue, aerosols, typewriter correction fluid, air-conditioning refrigerant, felt tip markers, spray paint, air fresheners, and even cooking spray.
Who is at risk?
Inhalants are an equal-opportunity method of substance abuse. Statistics show that young, white males have the highest usage rates. Hispanic and American Indian populations also show high rates of use.
What do inhalants do to the body?
Nearly all abuse products produce effects similar to anesthetics which slow down the body's function. The user may experience slight stimulation, feeling of less inhibition, or loss of consciousness. The user can also suffer from Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome. This means the user can die the first, tenth, or hundredth time he or she uses an inhalant. Inhalants are physically and psychologically addicting and users suffer withdrawal symptoms.
How can you tell if a young person is an inhalant abuser?
If someone is an abuser, some or all of these symptoms may be evident:
What could be other telltale behaviors of inhalant abuse?
Inhalant abusers may also exhibit the following signs:
What steps should camps take to prevent inhalant abuse?
Be aware that only 4 percent of parents believe their child has abused inhalants. However, self-reporting statistics from teens indicate that at least 20 percent have abused inhalants by the time they finish high school.
Originally published in the 1999 Winter issue of The CampLine.

"A frightful imposition," Dewey called the proposal for a special session of Congress, indicating his appraisal of both the sincerity of the Republican Party platform and the urgency of the problems which Americans face. In such a spirit Dewey can lose the 1948 elections. Tor Truman's call for a special session is a stroke of bold and liberal leadership and a confident reassertion of the Validity of American democracy. On three key issues, housing, inflation and civil rights, the 80th Congress so far failed utterly.
Policy, Not Tactics, Needed in Berlin The real issue of the Berlin crisis has now become clear.
Harry Truman may not have given his party victory at Philadelphia, but he gave it self-respect. It was fun to see the scrappy little cuss come out of his corner fighting at two in the morning, not trying to use big words any longer, but being himself and saying a lot of honest things that needed to be said. Unaccountably, we found ourself on top of a pine bench cheering. We have always thought of Truman as Mr. Average Man himself, nice and likable and commonplace and mediocre. These attributes make something of a problem when one is President.
There can be no doubt that the Russians deliberately created the Berlin crisis. Every step they have taken in recent months has been designed to cause a chaotic situation which, they hoped, would drive the Western Allies out of the German capital.
THE LIBERALS who choose not to support Henry Wallace and the New Party are still far from clear about whom they are for or what they should be doing about it. Some have buried themselves in their gardens and their books until a better day. Some, with government jobs or patronage to protect, are feebly trying to justify going along with another term for Truman. Most of them talk wistfully over their dinner tables about how nice it would be . . . "if we had a candidate." They mean on the Democratic ticket. The most active among them are either talking for Supreme Court Justice William O.
Banneker's life is an American Story, and his origins fit the pattern.
Bend Sinister By Vladimir Nabokov Henry Holt and Company; $2.75. The story of the free man under the totalitarian state is still the classic tragedy of our age, and in Bend Sinister it is given striking and original treatment, at once impressive, powerful and oddly exasperating. This second novel in English by Vladimir Nabokov, an American citizen of Russian birth, a sardonic tale of an intellectual who scorned his nation's tyrant, has an eerie, nightmare quality and savage humor.
Your radio reporter was having a tough time. The weekly sermon, its text presumably based on what's new, fresh or vigorous in radio, threatened to turn into a dull, depressing dissertation. But along came Old Gold cigarettes, Ballantine's ale and Pabst's Blue Ribbon beer. The day, the preachment, the season were saved. For those ate the generous firms which, in my listening area, bring me respectively Red Barber, Mel Allen and Frankie Frisch.It was exactly 1:55 p.m.
Laurence Olivier's spectacle-film, Henry V, is a sparkling armor-and-woolen-goods movie about a glorious English leader (Olivier), his smashing, upset victory over the French (who had too much armor, too few archers) in 1415, and his lightning courtship—made up of tricky, beautiful talk and vaudeville—of the French princess Katherine (Renée Asherson). Henry V is a great deal more than almost any other hell-bent-for-armor movie that you've seen.

PROVIDENCE — Ed Cooley came to Providence College armed with the reputation of being a defensive, get-after-it coach. The five years he spent at Fairfield's helm suggested that after a seemingly endless run of witnessing the Friars languish in the bottom tier in Big East team defense, more than lip service would finally be paid to an area that statistically speaking has been a major deficiency.
In the six PC seasons that preceded Cooley's arrival, the Friars in the 16-team Big East finished dead last in defense an unsightly three times (2006, 2009, 2010). Taking into account both non-conference and conference games, the highest finish a Friar team managed was 13th in 2008.
Expanding further, not a single one of those six aforementioned Providence squads managed to hold opponents to less than 70 points.
For the curious, the era under the microscope includes the last three years of Tim Welsh's reign and all three of the seasons that made up Keno Davis' unforgettable PC stint. For comparison's sake, here are the defensive points per game Fairfield surrendered during Cooley's tenure:
2006-07 – 64.7 ppg
2007-08 – 68.9 ppg
2008-09 – 67.2 ppg
2009-10 – 67.3 ppg
2010-11 – 58.3 ppg
Granted, we're comparing apples and oranges when referencing a Big East institution with one that plays its games in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Still, the emphasis Cooley placed on getting stops suggested that the 42-year-old could take those same principles that allowed him to taste success at Fairfield and apply them at his new address.
As last season got under way, Cooley quickly realized that his Friar personnel did not meet the criteria to play the type of harassing, man-to-man defense that suits him. As much as it probably pained him, the coach had to gear his scheme around zone principles that would place the players in a more comfortable position. The result: Cooley's first PC squad gave up 69.2 points, which is a victory unto itself considering just about all the players were in place for the 2010-11 season, when the Friars under Davis surrendered 75.3 ppg.
Fast forward to the just-completed preseason camp, where Cooley and his assistants spent much of the time stressing how to construct a zone that protects the limited numbers the Friars will have available when the program's 86th season tips off Saturday afternoon. All told, Cooley will have seven scholarship players at his disposal against the New Jersey Institute of Technology, meaning playing zone defense is born out of necessity more than anything else.
"We'll give teams multiple looks, but on our depth alone, we need to be wary of foul trouble and injuries," Cooley stated. "We need to be a chameleon and be able to adjust to everything."
(As an aside, the 2010-11 Fairfield team that rewrote the book on stinginess featured nine regulars who averaged more than 10 minutes, meaning Cooley had a few more fouls to play with as opposed to his current arrangement at Providence, where keeping Vincent Council, Bryce Cotton and LaDontae Henton on the floor is vital to any chance the Friars have in making noise this season.)
While Cooley quickly brushed aside the idea that playing zone can protect a team foul-wise, he did note that zone defenses have a way of making opposing teams run through their checklist of potential options before executing. "It definitely slows the pace down and makes people think a little bit more. Plus, they aren't able to go right at the guys who are in foul trouble."
In zone, you're only as effective as the ball pressure applied by the guards, i.e. clogging up the passing and driving lanes. Such a mandate is one Council took a step further, when the senior talked about the other defensive areas where PC's backcourt is expected to chip in.
"Coach has put a lot on Cotton and myself to stop guards from (penetrating)," Council shared. "It would be better if the two of us can get four rebounds per game so we can push the break. We need to help out the bigs."
Should the Friars' first line of defense be subjected to breakdowns, the onus will fall on a backline that will see the spotlight shine on red-shirt sophomore Brice Kofane, a 6-foot-8 forward who possesses the necessary long arms that a shot blocker needs. Kofane registered a team-best 42 blocks a season ago, a sum that figures to only grow now that he along with the rest of the Friars have spent extended time in Cooley's system.
"He definitely has to play the role (of eradicator) for our team," noted Council about Kofane. "He has to be our anchor and best communicator."
Added Cooley, "Brice has to be that interior presence for us, but Kadeem (Batts, a junior) has to be a force. They're two different athletes, but we need both of them to play at a high level in order for us to compete."
Cooley understands that a small roster in terms of actual numbers will not always handicap him. The second semester addition of Arizona transfer Sidiki Johnson will bolster the frontcourt, and if freshman prospect Kris Dunn is fully recovered from shoulder surgery, PC's scholarship body count would grow to nine.
Until the cavalry comes, the mission when digging in defensively is simple.
"It all starts with ball pressure with help defense and rebounding also serving as the keys," summarized Cooley about the high notes his zone-adhering Friars must hit. "If we do all those things, we'll have success as far as our transition offense."
Saturday's PC opener at The Dunk had all the trappings of a hometown boy playing before the hometown crowd. Instead, Ricky Ledo will watch from bench, continuing to carry out a season-long penance that was authorized by the NCAA.
Having been ruled ineligible, the Providence native Ledo has traveled many roads on his way to docking on Providence's campus. While playing competitive hoops won't be on the youngster's itinerary in 2012-13, Cooley was adamant in how Ledo can grow as a person in the months ahead.
"To acclimate him to the college environment and academic rigors along with what it is like to be in a practice that's really intense, I think it will help Ricky tenfold," Cooley said. "I look at him as one of our kids who's from Providence and needs to stay here. He's somebody who's going to benefit in the long run."
Ledo's support staff extends to the PC players with Council saying, "Every day we're pushing Ricky in practice like it's gameday. We're looking to keep him motivated."

TJB Interview: Nick Mangold – Part I
TheJetsBlog was invited to attend a gamer's event at the Tribeca Grand Hotel where UbiSoft was previewing some of the games they'll be releasing for the holidays like Assassin's Creed II. Nick Mangold, a guy who's been known to game from time to time, was at the event and talked to our very own Angel Navedo.
There aren't many opportunities in life for a 6'4", 300-pound offensive lineman to go unnoticed; it simply doesn't happen. Yet, on a stormy July afternoon in lower Manhattan's lavish Tribeca Grand Hotel, Nick Mangold effortlessly blended into a crowd of video game lovers whose attention rested solely upon UbiSoft's Holiday line-up.
Despite towering over everyone in attendance, the New York Jets' Pro Bowl center proved to be no match for the multitude of demos and previews UbiSoft brought with them. Mangold played a secondary role to Panasonic's high-definition plasma displays, featuring Assassin's Creed II, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Red Steel 2, RUSE, and much more.
On the surface, the former first-round pick looks like he'd be more comfortable with an axe and flannel shirt in the middle of a forest. But the long blond hair and grizzly beard can only camouflage his jovial charisma for so long.
Within minutes, he's encouraging everyone in close proximity to have their mind-blown by the uniqueness of the hotel's restroom before they leave for the day.
The afternoon was one of palpable anticipation. While UbiSoft's upcoming Holiday titles received well-deserved interest, any sports' fan could tell Mangold's mind was with football, the Jets, and the beginning of training camp in Cortland, NY.
The man appeared absolutely focused. The video games serve only as a momentary distraction for No. 74 as he makes his necessary adjustments prior to an arduous month of practice and preparation.
Discussing everything from Madden ratings to his arrival in New York following the Kevin Mawae era, Mangold makes it clear that, no matter what, football comes first.
Angel Navedo: What are your feelings on traveling to Cortland for training camp?
Nick Mangold: I'm excited. I've never gone away for training camp. This is my first time — high school, college, and pros — I've never gone.
AN: What about when camp was held in Hofstra?
NM: Well, I lived five minutes from there. If we had two hours at night, I was able to run home and catch dinner or something. Being four hours away from home is a whole new beast that I haven't really wrapped my whole head around.
AN: You were invited to this UbiSoft Holiday Preview event. Do you consider yourself to be technologically savvy?
NM: I like to. I don't know where I measure up to everyone else, but I like to believe I'm gadget and tech friendly. I'm a Blackberry guy.
AN: That hurts my feelings.
NM: (Spots my iPhone) But I'm an iPod Touch guy! The iPod Touch is awesome. I think it's a great device for games and messing around. But for dealing with emails and everything, I pick Blackberry — with the actual keyboard and everything — hands down.
I can bang out a page-long email while I'm sitting, doing whatever. Touch screens, you know, I got fatter fingers. It's not my thing.
AN: It definitely took some getting used to for me.
NM: I even tried the Storm. I'm just not a touch screen guy at all. I love it for playing games and stuff, but I keep them separate. If that requires me to carry two different things, I live with it.
AN: Given the love for technology, would you say it's a hobby or a passion?
NM: (Contemplates for a moment) I gotta say hobby. Football is my passion. Tech, it's like, right above a hobby. I love dealing with surround systems at home, messing with speakers and stuff like that.
Always wanna go a little bit louder, huh?
NM: Yeah, always wanna go a little bit louder. I always wanna add more speakers somewhere. In college, I wired it so we had speakers outside on our porch. When we first got there, my roommate was like, "There's no way you could pull that off." I was like, "No, I'll figure it out."
It's just one of those things. I always like messing with stuff. It's not a passion, but its right below there — in between passion and hobby.
AN: Being a gamer is pretty big for you. I know you attended the Halo 3 launch party, too. How deep does this run for you?
NM: [The first] Halo you didn't have online, right?
AN: Yeah. That's the one where you needed to hook it up through a LAN connection.
NM: Right. We did that in college. My friend had a two-bedroom apartment and both of the guys had good TV's. So we'd bring the Xbox over to his house, hook them up, and we'd play in different rooms. We were playing it all the time.
AN: Would it be safe to say you're more into the Xbox than Playstation?
NM: I'm a 360 guy, I am. I have a PS3, but I was sold on Xbox because of Halo. That made the decision for me. Grand Theft Auto was another huge one, so I always had a Playstation around. Now they have it for Xbox — which is awesome — but that always kept me playing a little bit of the Playstation.
AN: Since there's no more need for a LAN connection, do you find yourself playing online at all?
NM: Yeah.
AN: Ever let anyone know who you are?
NM: Sometimes, but it depends. I was at a grade school and we were talking to a bunch of fifth graders. I gave them all my gamertag, which — in retrospect — was probably a bad idea, but we had fun with it that day. I kept it. I've had the same one for about five years now.
AN: Yeah, 800 credits to change it is rough.
NM: (Exhales) Yeah. I'm not changing it.
AN: Are you a Madden player at all?
NM: Yeah, I am a little bit. I play more games like Assassin's Creed, Halo, Grand Theft Auto, and Call of Duty. Madden, for me, it's not an escape. It's what I do for a living.
AN: I hear you.
NM: Every once in a while I'll play Madden or NCAA to become an offensive coordinator. I sit out there and just go 5-wide all the time, change all the hot routes.
AN: But I thought linemen liked to run block? You wanna go out into pass protection?
NM: (laughs) Not my five offensive linemen. I don't listen to them. Just like every other offensive coordinator, we're just gonna throw the ball.
AN: What about the rating system? The whole thing this summer with T.J. Houshmandzadeh and DeAngelo Hall complaining about their Madden ratings is something you have to hear often in the locker room, right?
NM: Some guys are worried about it. You can hear it sometimes. There's always some sort of arguing going on with whose Madden rating is higher than the others. I don't care; I've never really looked at it.
AN: Oh, okay. If you did, I imagine you'd be glad to know you don't have to worry about it. You're the second highest rated center in the league, behind Kevin Mawae.
NM: Well, that's awfully nice to know. There's another "Thank you" note I gotta send out. But it's something I've never really looked at or wondered about. I've heard too many people with the arguing, "Watch me! I should be a 76, not a 74!" I wonder, does it really matter?
But some people do care about it; there are some guys on the team who are passionate about what their Madden ratings are.

I've checked the internet, these forums, and pretty near everywhere you can imagine and even the books i have don't have any suggestions.
I recently installed APACHE/PHP/MYSQL on my XP machine and started working with it and i produced a web page and it works la de da. A friend of my has web space through MediaTemple with php/mysql support so he is letting me use about 20 mgs and i tried the same code but to no avail. My code gives me the following error:
Connected successfully Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'database_name'
and my code is:
$connection = mysql_pconnect("localhost")
or die(mysql_error());
print ("Connected successfully\r\n");
mysql_select_db("database_name", $connection)
or die(mysql_error());
I have tried adding the mysql_pconnect("localhost", $username, $password) but i get the same error.
Although i have some past experience with ASP/Oracle/Access , i have always had an admin set me up - ie - give me the ftp foler to upload my files and the connection string was supplied. I don't even know exactly what files to upload!! I pretty much just uploaded the folder titled 'database_name' from c:\mysql\bin. THe only files in the folder are *.frm files. ANy suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Commitment to Sugar Sweetens Life for Farmers and Communities
Azúcar, Zucker, sucre, sugar. Whichever way you say it, this tiny everyday ingredient plays a big role in many people's lives, from the yo-yo dieting consumer right back to the sugar cane farmers and their families and it's one of Fairtrade International's (FLO) key products.
On 16 November over 20 important sugar industry players came together to discuss challenges, and share experiences and strategies for growth at FLO's global sugar growth strategy meeting, held in Bonn. FLO representatives and labeling initiatives met with representatives from Rapunzel, ED&F Man Sugar, Traidcraft, Alce Nero, Illovo/Mitrag, Silver Spoon, Oxfam Belgium, Pronatec, Napier Brown, CTM Italy and Fairtrade's biggest Premium payer, Tate & Lyle. The meeting helped both sides gain a better understanding of each other to further build the strategic partnership.
"Especially some of the newer traders said they gained more in-depth knowledge about Fairtrade specific issues. It was the first meeting for labeling initiatives with sugar traders and they were impressed by the commitment shown to Fairtrade sugar and producers. It was great to get the experts together around one table and to hear from them in such a huge exchange," said Monika Berresheim-Kleinke, FLO's Global Product Manager for Sugar.
A key agenda topic was the latest EU Sugar Reform and the negative impacts it is bound to have on sugar producers. Participants discussed resulting opportunities and how to operate in the best interest of Fairtrade producers.
The construction of the first producer-owned sugar mill in Paraguay is a key example of how Fairtrade International's strategic involvement can lead to tangible improvements for sugar farmers. On 5 December, a foundation stone ceremony for the Industrial Organic Sugar Plant owned by the Manduvira Cooperative, was held in Paraguay. The cooperative includes 800 organic cane sugar producers and exports sugar to 17 countries.
This first-of-its-kind mill, to be up and running in 2013, was partly financed by investment of the Fairtrade Premium. By helping producer organizations take greater control of the value chain and add more value to their final product, Fairtrade helps ensure that benefits remain in the community where they belong. The mill will enable a significant improvement in the lives of Fairtrade sugar farmers, workers and their communities in the area.
"At the moment, producers rent a mill around 100km away so they're paying high transportation and rental costs. This new producer-owned mill means as well as processing more cane sugar, farmers and their communities will benefit from more job opportunities and stable incomes," said Monika.
Part of the reason Manduvira has been so successful is because of Fairtrade International's 'all that can be, should be' rule for composite products. Composite products made from more than one ingredient, such as chocolate or ice cream, must use Fairtrade products for all ingredients that can sourced as Fairtrade. This means that for every chocolate bar sold, it's not just cocoa farmers that benefit, but sugar producers, vanilla farmers and others. Read more about Fairtrade's composite product policy here.

Omg, people.. PLAY ON SYLPH!!~ OR EALS!!! RIGHT NAO!!!!!! And if you don't have FFXI then go and freakin get it already. What are you waiting for?!
Whatever whatever... You two don't like eachother, ok... You two want to have an argument, ok! But please come up with better reason for not liking a server besides playing for a week. And an amount of time has nothing to do with liking a server, anyway. You could've said you played on Sylph for a YEAR and that wouldn't make a difference unless you said why...
Anyway, Cingal IS really helpful. ^^ And what's this quality you speak of? Oh i'm certain it wasn't Bismarck because I haven't heard, seen, or EXPERIENCED anything of greater or lesser quality. Can you elaborate?
Edit @ Seuska: SHUSH! You need to get your ASS ON THE GAME before telling people that. Lol. I'm level 10 and you're way behind in West Ronfaure while I "Seek Party" it up in my little safe corner in Valkurm Dunes... >;(
I think we should all play on Sylph. Over the past few days and months, we've been helping each other and through missions, we'd all probably get far if we stayed on one server. It's just a suggestion, and if we just joined one linkshell. Personally, I like Sylph, and it'd make things easier for us. The new players wont have trouble either, since a bunch of us will have something to do.
People from Sylph I have met aren't helpful.
People from Sylph I have met are extremely childish.
People from Sylph raided other tables at the Fan Festival and took Bismarck's table.
I have more reasons I'll tell you later on.

I think he was refering to higher levels helping newer people, not you specifically... Not EVERYONE is directing comments toward you...Originally Posted by Lord Mog
Seriously, we have our reasons, let's keep them to ourselves... Let's just say "Come to Sylph" or "Hey, come to Bismarck!" and leave it at that and let new players decide...Originally Posted by Lord Mog

There is only a week to go before region play begins for the Lady Dinos. Juan Diego was the latest challenge for the team as they prepare for the games that count. The Soaring Eagles were also the latest to hand the Dinos another 3-1 match loss. On Thursday night Carbon went down to defeat by scores of 24-26, 25-13, 18-25, and 22-25 as they continued to find the combination that will put them back on the road to wins.
The Lady Dinos played well in game one as they took an early lead. Late in the game they let it slip away in a hard fought battle and came up just short. Game two was all Carbon. They went up early and held the lead all the way to win by over 10 points. Juan Diego regrouped and the last two games were back and forth as Juan Diego came out on top.
Coach Potts remains upbeat about the team's progress,."We continue to play better with each match. Against Juan Diego we played well, but just let a couple of games slip away. We did a lot of things right. We fought hard, came from behind, passed well and played as a team."
Carbon takes on Delta Tuesday (today) at 6:30 p.m. in the Carbon High gym.

Feeding and weaning
Here you will find tips and information for families about feeding and weaning children with a vision impairment
Feeding and weaning children with a vision impairment
Whether you are breast or bottle feeding, it is a special time for you and your baby to get to know each other. It is important to take time to enjoy the closeness of the regular feeds in the first few months. It gives your child several opportunities every day to feel your warmth, the familiar way you hold them, to get to know your scent, the feel of your clothes, the sound of your voice and perhaps the look of your face. This is important too for children who may be fed by non-oral methods, such as tube feeding.
Difficulties feeding a child with vision impairment
Your baby may be more reluctant to drop feeds than other infants, so weaning may take a little longer. If feed times are difficult or if you are concerned about your child's weight gain or growth there are professionals who can help. For example, speech and language therapists often help with sucking and swallowing difficulties, and health visitors can advise on early feeding patterns and weight gain, and can assess whether to refer your child to a paediatrician for extra help. If you are returning to work, you may have to plan how you wean your child very carefully. If you are breast feeding you may have to introduce a bottle earlier, and then go on to solids. Most babies with vision impairment enjoy sucking, and you may need to transfer from breast to bottle to cup in very gentle steps.
Clues that help your baby know that it's meal time:
- they have that "hungry" feeling
- you put their bib on them
- you put them in their highchair
- you give them a spoon to hold
- they can smell delicious food.
Some children show they want to feed themselves by grabbing the spoon. Others may need you to encourage their independence. To be able to feed themselves, your baby needs to be able to hold a spoon, scoop with it, put it in their mouth, close their lips round it and then replace the spoon. Learning these skills takes time and you may have a long period where you both have a spoon.
Developing mealtime skills
At mealtimes, babies learn many skills:
- in crawling or walking to their high chair, they are learning to orient themselves
- when they show they want to get up to the high chair or that they want some food they can smell or hear you preparing, they are communicating
- if they are offered a choice of two foods, they are learning about different flavours, smells and textures, and also learning about making decisions
- if they are helping with feeding, they are refining the use of their hands to pick up finger food or control a spoon.
Learning to drink from a cup
- Introduce a cup early so that your baby gets used to handling it.
- Alternate between using a bottle and a cup, and gradually increase the amount of time they have the cup. Some parents find it helpful to give their child the cup at the beginning of the feed and after they have taken a few sips, to give them the bottle as a reward.
- Start with a small amount of water or milk in the cup. This makes it easier to control the flow of liquid and reduces the risk of spills.
- Children with visual impairment need to be taught the sequence of picking up a cup, holding it, and putting it down again, rather than letting it drop or throwing it.
- When your child can drink from a cup with a spout, gradually introduce your child to a cup with no lid.
Introducing solid food
When your baby is ready to start eating solids, take it slowly. Their main nutrition continues to come from their milk and it takes time for babies to accept new flavours and learn to swallow lumpier food. If your child regularly chokes or gags on their food, you should express your concern to the health visitor or GP.
- Remember that fingers were invented before spoons and forks, so concentrate on them first.
- Let your child feel your own jaw when chewing and listen to you eating crunchy foods. They will love it and it helps them to understand what actions are required for eating.
- When introducing your child to using a spoon, put your hand over theirs, holding the spoon. As they get the idea, you can gradually move your hand further up their arm so that they are controlling it more by themselves.
- Tell them what you are doing, "I'll help you to scoop up the potato". Children like to have a commentary on what is happening and what the food is.
- They may be able to get the spoon to their mouth once you have helped them to load it, but they may need some help to put it back in the dish. It can be worth putting a damp cloth or a dice (non-slip) mat under the dish to prevent it from sliding around.
- Alternate between helping them do it and letting them do it by themselves. But do not let mealtimes go on too long or make your child feel frustrated by forcing the pace of independence. As meals take place at least three times a day try to make them happy occasions for both of you.
- Always show you are pleased with your baby when they can do something for themselves. You can show your pleasure by touching them and through your voice. This stage needs lots of patience with all children.
- All children make a mess and eat with their hands, throw their spoons and can even put their bowl on their head. Your child may be no different! A long-sleeved bib, a big splash mat and a flannel or wipes make cleaning up easier. Clean up at the very end, rather than all the way through the meal. Some parents tie toys to the high chair for their child to play with whilst waiting for their dinner.
- Let your child put their fingers in the dish to explore their food. It is the only way they can find out what they have been given.
- All babies are different - some eat all the food they are given, whilst others are fussy eaters or simply not interested. Try to relax - all babies can pick up on the feeling that you are worried. If they do not eat much or indeed anything, they can always have a bit more next time.
Introducing new flavours
Introduce new flavours early on. Your aim is for them to like a wide range of foods. Encourage them to try tasting something again if they don't like it the first time. Remember that new experiences are accepted best when a child is feeling well, so do not push them if they seem a bit "under the weather".
Parents' tips
Food can be a messy business. These are some tips from parents on how to make feeding and weaning easier for young children.
Using sounds
- Talk and describe everything you're doing. Your child may not be ready for the food when it arrives in their mouth.
- Sing a rising scale as the spoon is approaching.
- Eat loudly yourself! That's easier at home than in public - but it will give your child a sense that everyone is doing the same thing, and that they can join in the fun.
Using touch
- Brush your child's cheek with the spoon to signal that the food is coming.
- Does your child associate being spoon fed with being given medication? You could use different spoons, for example a metal spoon for feeding and a plastic one for medication.
- Try feeding with your finger first, rather than a spoon. Then move on to finger foods, so your child can feed independently.
- Let your child get their hands in the food at first. This can be messy, but will help them to understand the textures and where the food is coming from. You can describe what's on the menu when your baby has more language and understanding.
Other tips
- Cover the spoon handle and dish in black and white tape to give better contrast (or buy brightly coloured utensils which contrast with your table).
- Create a routine - have a special song for meal times, or tap the spoon in the dish to signal that it is time to eat.
- Some children with sight loss are put off by "sloppy" food. You can try dips as a way of introducing soft food. Even if your baby is too young to eat the "dipper", it can be used like a spoon. For example, use hummus on a bread stick or cucumber.
- If your child doesn't like lumpy food, build up gradually from pureed food to solids.

NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been taken from his home in handcuffs after a Boston semi-pro football player was found dead in an industrial park a mile from his house.
Within 90 minutes of his arrest, the Patriots released Hernandez, issuing this statement: "A young man was murdered last week and we extend our sympathies to the family and friends who mourn his loss. Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation. We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process. At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do.
Family members say the dead man, 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, was dating a woman whose sister is Hernandez's fiancee. Officials ruled the death a homicide but did not say how Lloyd died.
It's unclear why Hernandez was being taken into custody Wednesday morning and put into the back of a marked police car.
State police have searched in and around Hernandez's home in North Attleborough several times. At least three search warrants have been issued in connection with the investigation.
Hernandez attorney Michael Fee hasn't discussed the investigation.

This report by our partners Christian Peacemakers Teams (www.cpt.org) was written after a number of interviews with Iraqis about how they see the future for their country as the United States withdraws. Their diverse expressed opinions show that the truth is much more complex than the US narrative seeks to present. The contribution of the "surge" to a reduction in violence in Iraq is questionable. Opinions on the reliability of the Iraqi security forces, although not entirely negative, vary widely. Iraq (www.cpt.org/work/iraq ) faces a highly uncertain future, perhaps becoming a success story, but perhaps experiencing more bloodshed. The US should think creatively about ways to support the people of Iraq as they rebuild their country.
In this groundbreaking new report on the long-running and (of late) controversial BBC Radio 4 Thought for the Day feature, researcher Lizzie Clifford moves forward the debate about whether the prime-time 'God slot' should be preserved, reformed or abolished by carrying out a careful examination of the actual broadcast scripts themselves – with surprising results. Many of the claims made by both stout defenders and vigorous opponents of the current Thought for the Day format – which excludes non-religious and minority religious voices – prove questionable. What some regard as the feature's weakness, its attenuated theological content, can in other respects assist with bridge-building and conversation between people of different belief commitments. On the other hand, the restriction of presenters to those who represent groups with a long-established liturgical and doctrinal base seems unnecessary, given that the actual content of their scripts does not always make such a requirement. Humanists and those from 'alternative' religious backgrounds also deserve to be heard. It is not enough for Thought for the Day to survive simply as a bastion of 'religious' speech, argues this report. TftD can be valuable, so long as it manages to offer a new angle on the stories making the news, triggering fresh ways of thinking, and by utilising high-quality writers and broadcasters, capable of contributing an arresting script that genuinely prompts reflection. Overall, if TftD is going to survive as prime-time broadcasting, and make a genuinely valuable contribution, it must not compromise its potential to challenge the status quo and to strive for peace and humility in the face of tensions over difference. Equally, dispute over Thought for the Day is a significant one, the report suggests, because it is symptomatic of wider questions surrounding the more general place of religious broadcasting and of religious speech in an increasingly plural society.
The regional and international fall-out from Israel's response to the Freedom Flotilla aid shipments for blockade Gaza has thrown into sharp relief the fractured politics of the region. In this paper, a seasoned and engaged commentator on the Middle East, himself involved as an ecumenical, legal and political consultant to the historic churches, looks at the claims and counter-claims involved; the reality of the blockade; the implications for Israel and its critics; and the apparent winners and losers in the Flotilla stand-off.
The Westminster Declaration is an attempt to win greater recognition and respect by politicians and society for what its supporters regard as Christian values, and policies in line with these. It has received significant media attention in the run-up to the 2010 UK General Election, and is being used as a rallying point for socially conservative Christians. In this paper, the author offers a carefully considered critique of the Declaration, finding that it is a flawed document overall. Some of the theology which underpins it is highly questionable. Where it is specific on policy issues some of the proposals are impractical or unhelpfully partial, and it may do more harm than good to the church.
Political debates about migration in general and immigration in particular, not least in the 2010 General Election campaign and its aftermath, revolve narrowly around two concepts: 'numbers' and 'control'. In this paper, the author shows why a broader view is essential. Situating UK concerns within an assessment of global challenges, it looks at the causes of human displacement and how to address them, attending also to the consequences of migration - including its significant benefits. Climate change, conflict, economic inequalities, community cohesion, and participation are among the 'drivers' highlighted. Concluding with a positive alternative vision of people movements as a renewing factor in society, this paper includes links to further resources and analysis from Ekklesia, and from a range of other NGOs and expert agencies / institutions.

Matt Weiters is simply amazing behind the plate and if he is snubbed in the All-Star game something is wrong. He flat out beat Ichiro by three steps and it one hopped to Brian Roberts.
Again simply amazing throw!

Fallen Officers from the SLC Sheriff's Office
Source: www.stluciesheriff.com
Daniel S. Carlton was 35 when he became the second sheriff of St. Lucie County. Previously, he had served as city marshal of Fort Pierce when it was incorporated in 1901. He became Sheriff in 1907 and served until his death, May 22, 1915. Sheriff Carlton was remembered as a fearless and fair man. When he was sheriff, the county jail was located at his home in Fort Pierce. Sheriff Carlton was involved in a shootout in the middle of the business district of Fort Pierce and was fatally wounded. Sheriff Carlton was taken to Dr. H.D. Clark's office where he later died. Dan Carlton was the first member of the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office to be killed in the line of duty.
William Robert Monroe was 41 when he became the fourth sheriff of St. Lucie County in 1920. Monroe had been a deputy sheriff for some time, and served as Chief Deputy to Sheriff Bill Jones. Sheriff Monroe had a jurisdiction encompassing much of what we now know as Indian River and Martin counties. Around 4 a.m. on March 25, 1921, about one mile north of St John's Island, deputies seized a cabin cruiser loaded with 200 cases of illegal liquor. Three men were arrested, and Sheriff Monroe was called to join them at the Winter Beach dock. As the Sheriff piloted the boat down the Indian River nearing Fort Pierce, the boat exploded, killing him instantly and injuring two other deputies. The sheriff was 42 years old, leaving a wife and four young children.
Sgt. Harold F. Holerger joined the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office in 1963. He had a distinguished career with the agency, and retired in 1981. Shortly after his retirement, he took a part-time position as a school crossing guard. On the morning of August 26, 1985, Sgt. Holerger was directing traffic on Angle Road at the entrance to Westwood High School, when he was struck and killed by a motor vehicle. His commitment lives on with the Sheriff's Office firearms training range that bears "Pappy" Holerger's name.
Master Deputy Steve Roberts was a fourteen-year veteran of the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, spending many of those years riding a motorcycle assigned to the Traffic Unit. He was a family man and an avid horseman, serving as a member of the Sheriff's Posse. On February 11, 1999, while en route to a traffic accident on North 25th Street, Master Deputy Roberts' motorcycle was struck by another motorist, causing him to sustain critical injuries. He spent nearly a month in intensive care before succumbing to his injuries on March 3, 1999. He was 38 years old. The Sheriff's Office administrative center on Midway Road was renamed and dedicated as "The Steve Roberts Building" in memory of his commitment.
St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office K-9 Vasko died on June 25, 2004, from gunshot wounds he received while he and his partner were apprehending a kidnapping and carjacking suspect.
St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office Master Deputy Joseph P. Hover joined the sheriffâ's office in September 1981. He was a 24-year veteran with the sheriffâ's office who had a vast and distinguished career including numerous awards and citations. He worked with road patrol, canine unit, the detective division, and lastly, the school resource deputy unit. During defensive tactics training, Master Deputy Hover was injured and later died as a result of complications from surgery. His death occurred October 8, 2005. He is survived by his wife, daughter, and two grandchildren.
