Backward vs. Backwards?
Is there a grammatical difference between saying "I walked down the street backwards" and "I walked down the street backward" (without the "s")? Is one of them incorrect, or are they interchangeable? Does the same go for "forward(s)" and "toward(s)"?
Sort by
The difference is that with the S, they are not words. It is forward, toward, and backward.

Other sources are consistent with what is here -- that the adverb carries the "s", the adjective doesn't, and that English English speakers lean toward the "s", while American English speakers drop it, for the most part. I, however, tend to use the "s" as an adverb, and I'm American.
"In regard to" and "with regard to" should never carry the "s". You may send a note or gift "with best regards", but refer to something "with regard" to whatever. The added "s" when using "regard" while referring to something is a pet peeve.
Ditto with people -- lots of people, many of them well-educated -- who say "eco cetera" instead of "et cetera." Drives me nuts. As does "mis-chee-vee-us" (vs mis-chi-vus), nu-cu-lar (vs nu-klee-ar), jew-ler-y (vs jew-el-ry) all annoy me.
Though there are greater crimes on the planet than annoying me...

As a British English speaker I would use Backward as an adjective, e.g. to take a backward step and Backwards as an adverb, e.g. I played the song backwards. Tho I am aware as well that they are synonymous, it's just my personal preference.

Both forms are correct; generally, you find the -s ending more prevalent in Great Britain (or among British English speakers), and the shorter form more commonly in the US. There's a similarity with "toward" and "towards."

The OED and Chambers disagree.
Both list the "s" forms as synonyms of the "non-s" versions.
Another victory for common usage over common sense.

And in regards to that, I'll kindly keep my mouth shut ;)
From the OED:
usage: In US English, the adverb form is sometimes spelled backwards ( the ladder fell backwards), but the adjective is almost always backward ( a backward glance). Directional words using the suffix -ward tend to have no s ending in US English, although backwards is more common than afterwards, towards, or forwards. The s ending often (but not always) appears in the phrases backwards and forwards and bending over backwards. In British English, the spelling backwards is more common than backward .
I am in the nuthouse with you and the squirrels jodada. All of those words you mention were grounds for divorce after 17 years of grammatical torture! Not to mention "cutle-ry" (instead of cut-lery)!!
I really don't see that 'in regards to' has any connection at all with the backward(s)/forward(s) issue, which is one of different usage between BrE and AmE. In contrast, 'in regards to' seems to be more an issue of standard or not, whatever side of the pond or the argument you happen to be on, linguistically speaking.
A closer analogy could probably be made with 'while/whilst', 'among/amongst' etc, which I, being a BrE speaker, use interchangeably. But I know that some American commentators don't particularly like the '-st' versions, seeing them as 'prissy' Briticisms.
One can avoid regard/regards all together by brooking "anent". :)
The BBC also invariably uses "lawr".
Regarding "in regard to" vs "in regards to", I think that is a can of worms best left for a separate discussion as I am sure the proponents of the "s" form will soon be making their views known.
Add to that:-
nuc-u-lear instead of nu-clear
Bir-naard instead of Bernard
pri-meer instead of pre-m-i-er
@steve3 - to which I could reply - backwards full stop. But it doesn't get the discussion very far, does it?
@MsPedant - 'he tumbled backward(s)' - I suppose it depends on whether you have more British or American readers, how used the American ones are to British English and how much British character you want to give to the story. As a Brit I'd always use 'backwards', but (like most Brits) I'm reasonably accustomed to American writing, so wouldn't be particularly fazed by 'backward'.
Unfortunately, the same doesn't seem to hold true the other way round. As far as I'm aware, American fiction is published in Britain unchanged, but American publishers deem it necessary to 'translate' British fiction before it can be published in the US.
The most notorious examples are the Harry Potter books, although it seems that Canadians get the original versions. Here is a side-by-side comparison of 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' (where even the title got changed in the US edition). Note the changing of 'towards' to 'toward', 'afterwards' to 'afterward' and of course 'backwards' to 'backward':
The British favor the "s" and the BBC uses it invariably. In the States, by the turn of the century, teachers stopped using/accepting the form with "s" and tests such as the college SAT expect the shorter form, e.g. in regard to vs. in regards to, etc.

Och aye, but aren't the last two American pronunciations rather than folks wot can't speak proper?
Going back to the original query of backward vs backwards, which is how I ended up here incidentally, down 'ere in the west countreee we add the "s" to everything. I'm currently editing a novel which is destined for both a British and American audience, so I'm happy to go with "s" for the adverb and go "s"-less for the adjective.
My particular problem was with "sent him tumbling backwards". I've been removing "s"s left right and centre (center), but that just doesn't sound right without one!

backward. period.
Some of those changes are ghastly while others are reasonable considering the different audience. I cannot help but wonder however what has been lost in the soft translation.

Time for Revenge (Tiempo de revancha)
Argentine actor/filmmaker Adolfo Aristarain, best known to American audiences for his political dramas and musicals, wanders the white corridors of medicine. Aristarain's protagonist is an insignificant worker in a huge plant run by corrupt management. When the worker is injured in an accident, he decides to get even with his bosses. He fakes a complete loss of speech, hoping to simultaneously collect a huge insurance settlement and awaken the outside world to the safety hazards plaguing the plant. More laudable for its intentions than its execution, Time for Revenge (Tiempo de Revancha) nonetheless won a prize at the Montreal World Film Festival.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

With the recent news reports and the fact that there will be 70 commercials played during the 2012 Super Bowl, (with an average price tag of $3.5 million) there is finally some good news to bouy consumer confidence.
As you can see from all of the videos listed on the USA Today – Facebook Ad Meter there is no shortage of confidence from the big brands. I'm proud to report that Century 21 Real Estate is making its debut on this list with our Super Bowl Ad (see below).
I don't know about you, but I have a strong belief that the American economy and more to the point the American consumer cannot be held down forever. I mean, C'mon Man, its been six years…it's time to regain our mojo as a nation.
As you will see in the ads, there is no shortage of star power backing this year's ads. Is Super Bowl Kick-Off more than the beginning of a game? Is it the beginning of an economic turnaround…the start of a renewed spirit within the American consumer? Impossible to say for certain given all the other factors influencing our economy, but I for one am sick and tired of all the pessimism. I say, let this moment in time represent more than just a game, let it represent the light at the end of the tunnel, a new beginning, not another reference to the beginning of the end of the downturn.
Let's celebrate as we come together this Sunday to share in "the last great American campfire." We live in the greatest nation, let's act like it again.

great Leggings
I love these leggings. They fit perfect and the waistband is wide and holds them up. Great fabric, but I would love to see more colors for fall. Thanks
Houston, TX
Love These Pants!
Going to order more. Fit is perfect. Look good dressed up or down. Wash well.
Salt Lake City, Utah
I bought the black and navy and I love these leggings!! I'm 5"6 and 110 lbs. These were plenty long enough. The material is a nice quality. At first when I opened the package I thought they looked short but when I tried them on they were long with length to spare. I'm buying more!!
San Diego, CA
Awesome Leggings
I bought both the gray and white leggings in medium so they would hopefully be comfortable. I haven't worn them out yet but I hated to take them off after I tried them on. Great fit, nice weight, loved the larger flat waistband. Like to see them in more colors. I'm petite (just barely) and although they were a little long for me, they are still flattering at the ankle. Looking forward to wearing them all year long!
Pinehurst NC
Very Nice
I was suprised - great fit - best leggings I have found in some time - also washed nicely !
Jane L
Oshkosh WI
Great fit
These are lovely and comfortable
Comfy and stays up
Most leggings have a thin elastic band at the waist, but this wider waistband helps these leggings stay up- a major priority. They are comfortable and stylist-- Would LOVE more colors for the fall, like olive, tan, etc... Best leggings I have purchased in a while.

Great Leggings
Great Leggings, nice weight to the fabric, not see through and nice fit at the waist with the wide band.
My Style
Oakland CA
Purchased two pair so far ...
I'm used to buying the two-for-$20 leggings from my local warehouse store, so making the decision to purchase these leggings was a bit of a struggle, but I'm glad I did.The waistband stays flat, they wash well, and the color stays true. I am 5'5", weigh approx. 124 and but the medium size. At this age, I don't want to fight my clothes. I like that there's a little bit of room, and that they don't look spray-painted on.I own the heather gray and the navy and wear them everywhere, from the gym, to work. They always look great. I just wish they came in more colors.

Comfortable leggings
I ordered these leggings in white after reading to good reviews. I was not disappointed. The fit is very flattering. I love these leggings and will order more colors
Litchfield Park, AZ
fantastic leggings
I loved everything about these leggings! The fit, fabric, length. I would like more colors.
Memphis, TN

Just what I was looking for. Love them.
Albuquerque, NM
Leggings and tunic
Loved these leggings and tunic, very well made and not junky
Liverpool, n.y.
Great fit, I a, usually between a small and medium and ordered the medium fit well, no bagging; would like to see tan or khakki
Cleveland, OH
excellent fit and plenty long enough and great fabric. Just wish they carried more colors such as red, turquoise, lime and taupe or tan. great for spring with ones long tops.
Great fit, no bagging knees even when worn 3 days in a row. Great length.
great leggings!
Great leggings- thick, quality material and a flattering fit. I'm 5'1 1/2" and 168 pounds and this wide waistband makes me look more like 150 pounds because it smooths over my belly and holds it in a bit. They actually make me look pretty good for a chubby girl
Tall Knit Leggings
I finally found someone that carried true tall leggings. I ordered two and was so impressed, I reordered and got four more in the other colors. The length is super ( I am 6 ft) and they stay down around the ankles and the wide waist band stays in place. These truly are as advertised and I am soooooo happy with Chadwicks!
Denver, CO
stretch leggings
Fit as expected, true to size, nice waist band,very slimming
Laura l Lampe
Bothell, Washington
Great Leggins
Exactly what I was expecting after reading the reviews. Wonderful fit, no bulging knees, good length, Highly recommend them
Oregon City, OR
These are the best leggings I have ever owned. Fit great with my petite frame (size 2) but are high enough in the waist to stay up. Other leggings I have purchased always end up falling down, so I am pulling them up all the time. I would highly recommend these leggings. I am ordering two more pairs.
Anaheim, CA
Nice Leggins
These fit well, even though I have a long waist relative to my height. A bit too long, but even most petite sizes are too long for my 5'1" body. These are comfortable, though, and don't ride down as some other leggings do.
Greensboro, NC
I have tried many different leggings .. these are the best fit leggings that I have tried. Love the wider waist band and they also wash up very nicely.
Fargo, ND
Would be a nice fit but a bit short for petite. This garment has a chemical odor that doesn't wash away. The wide waist band is most comfortable and should be a standard in leggings and pull on slacks from now on. I give this a two star for the odor...from what I've read in the other reviews the odor might be due to the fact that they are white and perhaps a different structural makeup of the fiber used in the fabric.
Wonderful Length
Was very apprehensive as to the fit for the leggings as I am 6' tall and hard to fit. Both pair fit wonderfully and I just now ordered four more pair.Thanks and please do keep them in stock. More colors would be a plus for me for more orders.
Lakewood, CO
Great leggings
Very comfortable leggings. Have enough spandex to keep from butt and knee springing but not so much that they feel like a girdle. Little loose at the ankle but still wearable with boots. May run bit loose for size to some. Consider 1 size smaller if you want a real snug fit.
Los Angeles, CA
Nice Fit
These leggings are comfortable and as described by others that have commented. I can't wait to wear them once it is officially spring in Tucson.
Inseam a Bit Too Long
The inseam is longer than 28". I am short in stature and had to hike up the leg part near the ankles. Offer them in petite, won't you please. Comfy though.
Bordentown, NJ
A Tad Too Long But Comfy
Leggings are comfortable, but, it's a bit long in length. I am 5' 2" so it is long and I have to hike up the leg part by my ankles. Please offer them in petite too. They are not flimsy and kept me warm during these cold winter days.
Perfect Fit legging
Terrific fit. I was concerned about the length, but it was perfect. Ordered grey/black, very comfy, and will probably order the white ones as well. Washes great, no ironing needed.
Grandview, Texas
Best Leggings!
These are the best leggings that I have tried and seen. I love the wide waistband and they don't slide down. I have ordered them in every color. Highly recommend.
Wow, these really are great leggings. I normally shy away from leggings since I can never find ones that don't slip down. These leggings stay in place and are not too tight on my legs, I love them, have ordered all the colors now.
Ordering another
Ordering another pair--these leggings are a great fit. Love the wide waste band!
So Cal Gal
San Diego CA
Best Legging Ever
These are the highest quality legging I have ever seen. I ordered these in every color, then came back for seconds on black and navy. That should tell you something! The material is excellent, can wear them all day and they don't bag at knees and butt. The wide waist band really helps them not only stay up, but adds a smoothing effect. I'm not really that tall (5'6") but do have long legs. I ordered the tall to allow for some shrinkage-haven't notice that much, though. Don't think having leggings a little long is a bad thing, since they fit close to the ankle. Highly recommend
Lucy Prl
Atlanta GA
Leggings that stay up!
I am very tall and also high-waisted. This means I can NEVER find leggings that are long enough in the leg, or stay up when I move around.....until these. The wide waistband lands AT the waist instead of below it and the Tall length is almost too long (quite a novelty for me). I bought 2 pairs and now I'm buying two more!

Alzheimer's disease, a progressive, terminal brain disorder, is the most common form of dementia, affecting mostly people age 65 and older. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and has no known cause or cure.
Alzheimer's slowly steals the minds of its victims, leading to memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, personality changes, disorientation, and inability to communicate.
More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, two-thirds of whom are women. By 2025, the number of Americans age 65 and older with Alzheimer's is estimated to reach more than 7 million, and by 2050, nearly 14 million—unless medical breakthroughs can prevent or cure the disease.

Building a home offers the best opportunity to capitalize on the sun's free power. To receive the most benefit, a home's south side should be oriented to within 30 degrees of due south, with its long axis running east and west. This allows the home to best receive low-angle winter sun, which will reduce heating bills and reject direct overhead sunlight, which will reduce cooling bills.
Building materials also affect a home's overall energy efficiency. Concrete, masonry, wallboard and water absorb and store the sun's heat, releasing it slowly as the temperature lowers. This slow energy release can keep a home warmer on cool nights and more impervious to temperature fluctuations. Floor coverings such as carpet, however, tend to hamper this thermal mass absorption and transfer process.
Effectively employ natural light inside a home by strategically placing windows to introduce more light into a room and adding glazing to walls and floors to reflect the light. As a rule of thumb, using daylight requires that a minimum of 5 percent of the floor have glazing. Contemporary glazing offers less glare and more glow for comfortable, even lighting.

Listen to Kirck Schneider discuss "The Polarized Mind" on KQED!07/25/2013
Saybrook faculty member Kirk Schneider recently appeared on KQED radio to discuss his new book "The Polarized Mind," and talk up some of the latest findings in existential-humanistic psychology.
With host Michael Krasny, Scheider explores topics ranging from a better approach to political problem solving to how to raise children who are inspired, rather than frightened, by life.
Saybrook Student and Faculty Presentations at ICNAP Phenomenology Conference07/15/2013
ICNAP is the snappy acronym for the Interdisciplinary Coalition of North American Phenomenologists. This diverse group of scholars from philosophy, psychology, literature, technology, communications, health sciences, and other fields, met at the end of May for their fifth annual conference in Mahwah, New Jersey. ICNAP was held at Ramapo College of New Jersey, a small liberal arts college near New York City. Approximately 70 people attended the conference. The modest number of people allowed newcomers to introduce themselves to luminaries in the field, and the modest size of the campus allowed informal conversations between conference sessions.
Two School of Mind-Body Medicine Instructors Pursue Research on Coaching and Self-Determination07/10/2013
Dr. Devorah Curtis and Dr. Lisa Kelly's article, Effect of a Quality of Life Coaching Intervention on Psychological Courage and Self-Determination, was featured recently in the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital's e-newsletter. McLean Hospital is an affiliate of Harvard Medical School. This citation is evidence of the growing interest in and acknowledgement of the importance of rigorous research demonstrating the efficacy of life coaching interventions in fostering self-determination. According to self-determination theory, human wellbeing is dependent upon meeting three basic human psychological needs: autonomy, relatedness and competence. Dr. Curtis (2011) found in her research that by meeting these three psychological needs, psychological courage increases leading to more intrinsically motivated value-based actions.
Saybrook Offers Certificate in Multicultural Psychology07/02/2013
Everyone in the world now has access to unparalleled communication technology: but do we know how to talk to each other?
Welcome to the new Tower of Babel. Peace and prosperity depends upon businessmen in urban China knowing how to talk to software designers in Russia, and Muslim police officers in Michigan. Texas oil workers need to understand what they're hearing when a Brazilian trade delegation meets with the American Chamber of Commerce, and monks in Burma need to communicate effectively with the World Health Organization.
The extraordinary diversity of the world is both a strength and a challenge: we have more to offer each other … if we can understand each other. But that's harder than ever.
Now Saybrook University, the leading center for scholarship in Humanistic Psychology for the last 40 years, is rising to the challenge. Its School of Clinical Psychology has just announced it will be offering Certificate in Multicultural Psychology.

1. It is difficult to powder just 2 tbsp of urad dal. So, you could powder 4-5 tbsp and use 2 tbsp in this recipe and keep rest for later
2. You can use roasted gram instead of urad dal. No need to roast these
3. We usually get the roasted rice ground at a mill. You could do this at home too. Just powder the stuff in small batches in your mixer-grinder or food processor
4. 4 cups of rice yielded around 65 unevenly sized thattais.

I was wondering if poker is a game from our revered Flying Spaghetti Monster … here's my thoughts:
A deck of poker playing cards has 52 cards plus two jokers. Pastafarianism has 52 holidays (Fridays) and two other holidays being Holiday and International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
Also, bluffing and confusion are ways the Noodly One works. Additionally, poker is big in Vegas, as are strippers and beer, much like our heaven.
Coincidence, or another example of being touched by His Noodly Appendages?
Could Vegas be holy too?

There are some questions racing through my mind that will continue to plague me the rest of my life. Although I tried over the past 4-5 years to do the best I could using every resource within me, did I do enough? Did I wait too long to call emergency 911? Should that have been done a day sooner? A week sooner? Should it have been done a month ago? Or, six months ago?
I hope no one ever tells me that had I not waited so long, Carol would not be in the dire condition she is in today. I could not live with that knowledge hanging over my head.

I wanna' know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn

The first days of fall are so close that-just to get us in the autumn mindset-we're already taking our sweaters and peacoats out of their garment bags. Since the temperatures won't be chilly enough to wear cashmere for a while, we are thankful for the ladies in today's story for their fresh takes on late summer style!
Rachel Bilson
If you frequently find yourself daydreaming that Rachel Bilson's closet is your own, you are not alone, dear readers. She stirs up envy in our office every time she steps out in public, most recently via the outfit she wore to LA's Crown Bar last month. Bilson mixed a fitted fall blazer, specifically Monrow's Tuxedo Jacket ($295), with a seasonal ikat Myne Printed Silk Skirt ($206). She accessorized with an equally savvy trio: an of-the-moment, black, bowler-shaped Chanel Hat ($1125, 800.550.0005), Jimmy Choo's amazing fringed Diane Hobo ($1495), and a pair of Derek Lam's Astrid Wedges ($203). The wedges are available in a few different colors, but if you are in need of something gray like hers, try the Amira High Heel Slide ($165), also by Derek Lam. To finish up the look, check out Urban Outfitters' Felt Bowler ($38) as a superb budget-friendly substitute to Bilson's Chanel hat.
Rumer Willis
Rumer Willis recently caught your attention on account of her blossoming personal style. Her looks have been consistently fresh as of late, particularly the ensemble she wore to promote The House Bunny at MTV's TRL last month. Willis exuded glamour in Ya Ya Aflalo's Beatrice Strapless Dress
($330), Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes ($450, E86013, 212.650.0455), and a Neil Lane Platinum Diamond Necklace (price upon request, email@example.com). She upped the ante on her outfit even more by carrying a Bottega Veneta Nero Intrecciato Nappa Bag ($3480, 877.362.1715). You can call to order one or shop online for the very similar Bottega Veneta Basketwoven Top Handle Bag ($2120) and Sloane Woven Hobo ($3000). To accessorize Willis' look for less, we recommend Salvador Sapena 28253 Pumps ($318) and Charles David's Desiree Shopper ($325).
Daveigh Chase
We are more than thrilled to induct Daveigh Chase into our site today. The Big Love scene-stealer has a natural skill for creating charming outfits that is only matched by her model-like ability to wear them. Chase piqued the curiosity of our readers last month while at the Madden NFL Party at STK in LA. She wore a BDG Equestrian Blazer ($88) with Kimchi & Blue's Chiffon Printed Tunic ($38, 323.653.3231) and a bone Marc Jacobs Carter Wristlet Eugenie ($595, 212.242.2207). She completed her outfit by perfectly exercising fall's over-the-knee trend with a pair of Celine Boots, but you can reach similar results with Steve Madden's Quincie Boots ($270).
Whitney Port
We won't conceal our excitement about the new season of The Hills; we tune in faithfully every week for the drama, but, more importantly, for the clothes. You guys seem to share our affection, as we have recently received a slew of questions regarding the lovely Whitney Port. A few weeks ago, Port was spotted leaving the Diane Von Furstenberg store in the Meatpacking District wearing a Black Shirt Dress ($415, 323.782.0191) from Some Odd Rubies, a vintage belt, and Te Casan's Punch Pumps ($385). Each garment sold at Some Odd Rubies is uniquely crafted from vintage fabric, so Port's frock is a one-of-a-kind. However, you can visit one of their boutiques to peruse for something similar, or you may like the Ella Moss Chantal Button Down Dress ($177) as a close alternative. Port's delectable Gucci Hysteria Tapestry Bag ($1295) stands out as perhaps our favorite element in her outfit, but Bloomingdale's Tapestry Drawstring Tote ($169) has a similar feeling at a fraction of the price. -Jessica Amento

AKWESASNE A Franklin County judge has dismissed felony driving while intoxicated charges against a Hogansburg woman because, he ruled, the police had no jurisdiction to arrest her.
Franklin County Judge Robert Main Jr., in an Oct. 15 ruling, said St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police lack police powers outside of the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation and dismissed charges against Amanda Herne, 34, of Hogansburg, which included aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated and speed not reasonable and prudent. The first two counts are felonies, and the third is a traffic offense.
On Sept. 14, 2012, St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police responded to a car crash on St. Regis Road in the town of Bombay in an area known as the Bombay Triangle, a piece of property adjacent to the reservation that has been part of a land dispute between the St. Regis Mohawks and the state.
Tribal leaders say the 3,000-acre property was sold to the state without congressional approval between 1816 and 1845 and was granted to them in a 2005 land claim settlement.
In Judge Mains decision, he said the response to the accident scene by tribal police was appropriate as an obvious effort to promote general public safety.
Given the boundaries of the St. Regis Reservation, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police response to the accident scene in question was likely more immediate than the possible response of any other agency, Judge Main wrote. Nonetheless, whatever the response, it did not include the power to arrest. Here the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police arrested defendant without jurisdiction or authority such that the arrest is null and void.
The tribal police force, formed in 1992, was granted peace officer status in a 2005 act of the state Legislature, though that power was limited to the reservation.
The department has a checkered history of having police powers, having been deputized by successive Franklin County sheriffs, only to have that status rescinded once and severely limited in the second instance.
Ms. Hernes attorney, Vaughn N. Aldrich, argued that the law creating the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police must be narrowly construed and strictly limits the police power of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police.
Put another way, the defense argued that, absent hot pursuit, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police lack police powers outside of the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation rendering the instant arrest without authority and what should be deemed a nullity.
Mr. Aldrich did not return calls for comment on the decision.
Franklin County District Attorney Derek P. Champagne said while there were a lot of ways to view the judges decision, he has no problems with it.
They have been treating the Bombay Triangle as native land that they have jurisdiction over, Mr. Champagne said.
He said any authority the tribal police would have in the Bombay Triangle would be similar to that of a citizens arrest.
The problem is that they cant do what a police officer would do, but possibly detain. They get really into some finite nuances, Mr. Champagne said. What do you do if someone takes a swing at you?
The decision now leaves the state police and the county Sheriffs Department responsible for any criminal activity that goes on outside of the reservation.
Mr. Champagne said the state police will not add patrols to that area and tribal police would have to call for backup in the case of criminal activity.
State police said they were unable to comment on their patrolling methods.
St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Communications Director Allyson Doctor said in a statement that the tribe was disappointed that Judge Main, in his erroneous decision, did not consider the ongoing land claim litigation, as well as the position of the federal government in a similar challenge to the Tribal Polices jurisdiction in the Bombay Triangle.
The Hogansburg area is part of land set aside as Mohawk Reservation by federal treaty and has never been diminished by the United States Congress; it is therefore, under current federal law, part of the Saint Regis Mohawk Reservation, Mrs. Doctor said in the news release.
In 2005, when passing the law allowing tribal police certification as peace officers, the state Legislature was aware of the land claim and chose not to limit the jurisdiction to that area recognized by the state, but to the entire reservation, Mrs. Doctor wrote.
Between 2005 when the legislation was passed, and until challenged by the attorney for an individual stopped in Hogansburg with a large quantity of marijuana by tribal police, everyone involved, including the Franklin County district attorney, local courts, the tribal police and the state police, all were in agreement that the term reservation in the state law, included the lands in Hogansburg, Mrs. Doctor said.
The tribal police will continue to patrol and respond to requests for assistance in the Bombay Triangle while maintaining a cooperative working relationship with state police and other policing agencies.
Regardless of the agency in charge of the disputed land, Mr. Champagne said, he was just glad a decision was made giving his office clear guidance on how to deal with the property.
Our concern was straightforward: If someone is traveling through the area with a body and they got pulled over by tribal police, we didnt want that suppressed, Mr. Champagne said.

Matt Smiths Schedule
Matthew Robert Matt Smith is an English actor and director. He is best known for his role as the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor in the British television series Doctor Who, for which he received a BAFTA Award nomination in 2011.
Smith initially aspired to be a professional footballer, but spondylosis forced him out of the sport. After joining the National Youth Theatre and studying Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, he became an actor in 2003, performing in plays like Murder in the Cathedral, Fresh Kills, The History Boys and On the Shore of the Wide World in London theatres. Extending his repertoire into West End theatre, he has since performed in the stage adaptation of Swimming with Sharks with Christian Slater, followed a year later by a critically acclaimed performance as Henry in That Face.
Before his role in Doctor Who, Smiths first television role came in 2006 as Jim Taylor in the BBC adaptations of Philip Pullmans The Ruby in the Smoke and The Shadow in the North while his first major role in television came as Danny in the 2007 BBC series Party Animals. Smith, who was announced as the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor in January 2009, is the youngest person to play the character in the British television series. He left the series at the end of the 2013 Christmas Day special, The Time of the Doctor.
Smith was born and brought up in Northampton. He attended Northampton School for Boys. He had planned to be a professional football player, having played for the youth teams of Northampton Town, Nottingham Forest, and Leicester City. After a serious back injury ruined this career, his drama teacher introduced him to acting by signing him up as the tenth juror in an adaptation of Twelve Angry Men without his consent. Although he took part in the play, he refused to attend a drama festival for which his teacher had also signed him up, as he saw himself as a football player and did not view acting as socially acceptable. His drama teacher persisted, and eventually persuaded him to join the National Youth Theatre in London.
After leaving school, Smith studied drama and creative writing at the University of East Anglia, graduating in 2005. His first theatre roles as part of the National Youth Theatre were Thomas Becket in Murder in the Cathedral and Basoon in The Master and Margarita. His role in the latter earned him an agent and his first professional jobs, Fresh Kills and On the Shore of the Wide World. His new professional roles led him to seek an agreement with his university so that he could graduate without attending lectures in his final year.
Smiths first television role was as Jim Taylor in the BBC adaptations of the Sally Lockhart quartet books The Ruby in the Smoke and The Shadow in the North. His first major television role came in the television series Party Animals, a BBC television drama series about fictional parliamentary advisors and researchers in Westminster. In Party Animals, Smith portrays Danny Foster, a parliamentary researcher to Jo Porter (Raquel Cassidy), a Labour politician and junior Home Office minister. At 26 years old, Danny is described as an intelligent but timid politics geek who should have moved on from researching at his age. Within the series narrative, he attempts to balance his affections for Kirsty MacKenzie (Andrea Riseborough), his intern, while trying to prevent Porters imminent decline.
In an interview in 2007, Smith discussed his characters motivations. He summarised Danny as having a romantic outlook of the political world while being cynical elsewhere. The character was drawn into politics by his father and his own political drive. He defended his characters age by characterising him as being loyal to Porter, instead of being incompetent. He talked about his characters emotional and intellectual maturity: emotionally, he lacks confidence around womenmost notably seen with his unrequited love towards Kirstybut Smith portrays Danny as a caring and sensitive but wry, sarcastic, [and] witty romantic; and intellectually, Danny is portrayed as attentive and possessing a strong work ethic.
Smith was revealed as the Eleventh Doctor in the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who in January 2009 to replace David Tennant, who announced his departure in October 2008. Smith was a relatively unknown actor compared to the actors then speculated about possibly taking on the role, who included Paterson Joseph, David Morrissey, Sean Pertwee, James Nesbitt, Russell Tovey, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Robert Carlyle and Billie Piper. Smith was first named as a possible successor less than a day before he was announced as the Eleventh Doctor, on 3 January 2009 edition of BBC Breakfast among the names speculated about. His obscurity prompted the news headline Doctor Who?, a riff on the shows title.
Smith was one of the earliest actors to audition for the role, performing on the first day. The production team, consisting of the incoming producer, Steven Moffat, and BBC Wales Head of Drama and executive producer, Piers Wenger, immediately singled him out based on his performance. Smith additionally auditioned for the role of John Watson in the Moffat-created Sherlock, undergoing auditions at the same time; he was unsuccessful, as Moffat believed his eccentric acting style was closer to Holmes, whose role had already been given to Benedict Cumberbatch. At 26 years old, Smith was three years younger than Peter Davison was at the time of his casting as the Doctor in 1981, and younger than any other actor suggested for the role. After three weeks of auditions, Moffat and Wenger agreed that it had always been Matt and approached him to accept the role. The BBC were cautious about casting him because they felt that a 26-year-old could not play the Doctor adequately; Wenger shared the same sentiment but thought Smith had proven his acting quality in Party Animals, which Wenger thought highlighted Smiths mercurial qualities. Some fans of the show believed that Smith was inexperienced and too young for the role, while others supported him by citing his demonstrated acting ability. For his performance in his first series he was nominated in the Outstanding Drama Performance Category of the National Television Awards.
Smith has said of his character: The Doctor is excited and fascinated by the tiniest of things. By everything. By every single thing. Thats whats wonderful about him as a character. Its why children like him, I think. Because he doesnt dismiss anything. Hes not cynical. Hes open to every single facet of the universe. In June 2010, Smith appeared on stage with Orbital, and performed with them a version of the Doctor Who theme, at the Glastonbury Festival. Smith hosted the Doctor Who Prom at the Royal Albert Hall on 2425 July 2010. On the morning of 26 May 2012, Smith carried the Olympic torch in Cardiff, an activity which was noted by Doctor Who fans for its resemblance to a 2006 episode of the show in which the Doctor carried the torch. On 1 June 2013, the BBC announced that Smith would be leaving Doctor Who at the end of the 2013 Christmas special.
Smith appeared in a deleted scene of the 2007 film In Bruges, playing a younger version of Ralph Fiennes character. He starred in the 2009 short film Together and the 2010 film Womb. In February 2013, it was reported that Smith had signed up to appear in Ryan Goslings directorial debut How to Catch a Monster. Smiths directorial debut, the short film Cargese, was aired on Sky Arts in May 2013.
During Smiths tenure in On the Shore of the Wide World, the play transferred to the Royal National Theatre in London. After finishing the play, he took on the role of Lockwood, a pupil in the Alan Bennett play The History Boys. After The History Boys, he would act in the teen play Burn/Chatroom/Citizenship and Swimming with Sharks; the latter being his West End début, with Christian Slater. In 2007, Smith appeared as Henry in the critically acclaimed Polly Stenham play That Face at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in Chelsea. The play transferred to the Duke of Yorks Theatre in the West End in 2008 and became Smiths second role there. That Face focuses primarily upon alcohol and drug addiction in an upper-middle-class family after the paternal figure in the family leaves. As Henry, Smith portrayed an aspiring artist who left school to take care of his mother. To prepare for the role, the cast interviewed alcoholics and their families. Smith discussed his characters relationship with his mother in an interview with the Evening Standard.
The entire cast of the play was nominated for the 2008 Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre, and Smith won the Evening Standards award for best newcomer for his role. Upon its transfer to the West End, Smiths performance as Henry was highlighted as one of the positive aspects of the play by critics for the Evening Standard, Daily Express, The Guardian, and The Times.
On 7 October 2013, it was announced Smith would portray Patrick Bateman in the musical adaption of American Psycho at Londons Almeida Theatre. The show will begin its run in December.

Mexico has every right to celebrate after today's 3-1 victory over Croatia pushed them into the Knockout Round in Brazil.
No doubt frustrated after another dubious call, Mexico eventually unleashed three goals in 10 minutes from Rafa Marquez (72'), Andres Guardado (75') and Javier Hernandez (82').
Even if you're a U.S. supporter, you have to appreciate that Mexico is through to the next round if only because of the possibility of more celebrations like this from manager Miguel Herrera. Go on, Mexico!
Rafa Marquez goal
Holland wasn't supposed to be "up" for this World Cup and early on in their tournament opener vs. Spain, that seemed like it might be true.
Then Robin van Persie score this goal to level things just before halftime...
Braces from RVP (44', 72') and Arjen Robben (53', 80') as well as another goal from Stefan de Vrij have the world in shock as Holland has found payback from their World Cup finals defeat four years ago, defeating Spain 5-1 today in Salvador.
Let's just say I'm feeling pretty good about my Fire staff World Cup pool team right about now...
I love World Cup draws almost as much as I love the next month every four years.
Last December, I had our staff help me in a mock World Cup draw for this year's tournament. On Tuesday, I did my best <insert FIFA bigwig name here> and ran the staff World Cup pool. While I may never get to perform a true World Cup draw, Tuesday's festivities served as just another milestone in my own career.
The draw was quite simple and straight forward as participants were asked to first choose a number 1-32 to determine the order. Once that was settled, we went about picking the nations with which we would live and die with over the next month (or maybe just a few weeks).
A photo blow-by-blow of the day's festivities…
We'll start with Corporate Partnership's Matt Hoy who was so overjoyed with his choice of Cameroon (Odds: 1000/1) that he accidentally held the flag upside down.
Then there was the great reaction from Jeff Harbert who wasn't exactly pleased with with the laughter that followed after he drew Australia (Odds: 1000/1)
Fire Technical Director Brian Bliss will hope Greece (250/1) repeat their Euro 2004 performance in Brazil...
Hailing from Brazil, Fire Creative Services Manager Kayser dos Reis interestingly pulled Portugal (Odds: 25/1)
And though she may not look like it, Sponsorship's Lauren Griswold was pretty happy to have chosen reigning World and European champions Spain...
Now, we're all busy and sometimes can't make the big draw. In that case, you can designate a proxy to draw for you, or if none is designated, yours truly does it instead.
This was the case for Director of Business Development Paul Cadwell, who pulled Algeria (Odds 2000/1) and Team Videographer Leo Flores who got South Korea (Odds: 300/1)...
Of course, like any FIFA bigwig, I'd say I did myself proud enough by getting 2010 finalists, Holland (Odds: 25/1)...
But to be honest, the must successful Fire competitions draw participant by far is Mike Ernst. In 2010, he took finalists The Netherlands. In the Euro 2012 draw, he came away with eventual champions Spain.
Called over in passing when his number came up towards the end of Tuesday's draw, the Fire Sr. Vice President pulled World Cup hosts and favorites Brazil without the blink of an eye.
Time will tell if Mike strikes gold again... See the full results of Tuesday's Fire Staff World Cup draw...
On this day 12 years ago, future Chicago Fire forward and strikers coach Brian McBride scored one of the most beautiful goals in U.S. World Cup history, diving to put in future Fire defender Tony Sanneh's cross from the right to give the Americans a 3-0 lead over Portugal in the team's opening match of the 2002 World Cup.

New Fire assistant coach Clint Mathis scored a few goals in his career, many of which were stunning.
There was this darting run in 2001 vs. Dallas that wound up winning MLS Goal of the Year.
There was also this one-time volley from 2004 while playing for Hannover 96 in Germany.
But if you got this far into this blog post and didn't already know what the favorite goal of Clint's career was, you haven't been a U.S. Soccer fan long enough. Of course you know what it is:
Daegu, South Korea.
June 10, 2002.
John O'Brien.
24th minute.
Deft touch with his right.
Beautiful finish with his left.
Jack Edwards: "That's why he's here!"
When I asked him this question which was very easily answered, Clint, with his Southern Charm, responded like he'd never been asked before saying, "The goal in 2002. That's one that my kids can tell their grandkids and it's one of those situations where I have some goals I remember playing in the league but it's different when you score in MLS vs. the World Cup.
"I think the significance behind that goal – it ended up being the one goal we needed to get out of the group because of the other results that happened on the final day to put us through – you just can't rate anything higher than that. You can't forget it."
Ahhh, just watch it again:
With his announcement as 2013 MLS MVP Thursday, Mike Magee joined an exclusive list of Chicago athletes that have won their league's Most Valuable Player awards.
Magee's name joins the likes of Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Stan Mikita, Ernie Banks and Frank Thomas in the Chicago MVP club.
UPDATE! Magee did a short conference call with local media following this afternoon in Kansas City and I had the nerve to ask him what it felt like to be included in such a club. His answer:
"When you put it that way, obviously, it's amazing. Not by any means am I calling myself Michael Jordan or Walter Payton, but to be on a short list or any list at all with the likes of guys I grew up loving and pretending to be — to be on any list with them is a list I will certainly keep."
Check out all 20 of the city's professional MVPs from the Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, Cubs and White Sox below:
Since 2001, the Mock World Cup Draw has been a fixture of sorts in the Crandall Household. Let's be real though, the scale of it was quite small and usually just consisted of me pulling names out of a hat alone in my room.
Alas, Wednesday I took advantage of the soccer constituency available around the club's Toyota Park office and welcomed my co-workers to the 2014 Chicago Fire Mock World Cup draw in Conference Room 1...
All of the spelled out procedures for Friday's draw were followed, such as pulling the odd ninth team out of the European Pot. Fire Season Ticket Services Representative Emily Morris assisted with this and randomly selected England.
We also automatically placed hosts Brazil into Group A…
And then began placing the remaining seven seeds into their groups...
Which ended up looking like this...
Then in order to place England into a group, we put the four South American teams back into a Pot, and drew....
Finally, we drew the mixed South America/Africa pot and came away with this grouping...
Emily then began to draw the mixed CONCACAF/AFC pot...With many in the room holding U.S. and Mexico cheering interests, this proved most dramatic...
The European pot was the last to be drawn, adding to the drama and finality of the mock draw. A proud U.S. Men's National Team supporter, Emily was left doing this face after completing the draw...
And this is why...
Suffice to say, no U.S. fan came away from this exercise doing this...
...but thankfully, I'm not Sepp Blatter and this thing was just for fun.
Do your own mock draw ahead of Friday's official event (the spelled out procedures can be found here). Then join us for our World Cup Draw Bracket Brunch Friday from 10am-noon at Fado (100 W. Grand Ave.).
FIFA revealed the pots and procedures for the 2014 FIFA World Cup draw set to be held Friday morning in Coasta do Sauipe, Brazil.
The Pots:
Pot 1 (Seeds): Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Colombia, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Uruguay
Pot 2 (CAF/CONMEBOL): Algeria, Cameroon, Chile, Ecuador, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria
Pot 3 (AFC/CONCACAF): Australia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Iran, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, USA
Pot 4 (UEFA): Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, England, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia*
The procedure:
Step One: This is really the only variation from the previous wisdom on the draw. Instead of putting the lowest seeded team (in this case France) into Pot 2, FIFA will randomly draw one team out of Pot 4 to go into the mix CAF/CONMEBOL group of teams.
Step Two: Pot 1 will be drawn with Brazil automatically going into Group A. The rest of the seeded teams will be randomly drawn into Groups B-H and will also automatically take Position 1 (B1, C1, D1, etc…) in their group. This is important because there is already a set schedule which corresponds to each group position.
Step Three: With a mixed pot of three confederations, Pot 2 would run the risk of breaking FIFA's rule of geographic separation which keeps nations from the same confederation (outside of two from UEFA) from being in the same group. In order to avoid having three European teams, there will be an additional "Pot X" featuring the four seeded South American teams. The country drawn out of this pot will automatically be grouped with the carryover UEFA team in the already established group.
Pot two will then be drawn, with all countries being pulled with a corresponding number to assign their group position. In the event that Chile or Ecuador is drawn into a South American seeded group, that group will be skipped with the country going into the next available (European seeded) group.
Step Four: Draw pots three and four.
Step Five: Celebrate or mourn your country's prospects for next summer in Brazil.
Watch all the drama go down with your fellow lovers of the "Beautiful Game" at our World Cup Bracket Brunch this Friday from 10am-noon at Fado (100 W. Grand Avenue)! Stay tuned to Chicago-Fire.com as we'll conduct our own mock draw later on Wednesday.

UPDATE AT 3:20 P.M. (WZZM) -- A spokesman says a suspicious substance found in their mail room was actually infant formula that spilled from a torn packet.
"Upon inspection, we discovered a formula sample had been torn open in this morning's mail delivery," Mead Johnson Nutrition said in an email release on the incident.
Mead Johnson makes formula for children at its Zeeland facility.
The spilled formula led to a brief police and fire department response to the Main Street facility.
ZEELAND, Mich. (WZZM) -- Emergency crews are investigating an incident involving a suspicious package found at an Ottawa County factory.
The incident was reported around 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the Mead Johnson Nutrition facility on Main Street in Zeeland.

EVANS MILLS State police charged a village resident Sunday morning after he allegedly verbally accosted a pair of troopers.
Police said they were called to the residence of James O. Abuya, 30, of 26119 Harrier Court, following reports of a fight between people at the residence. They were met outside the residence by an unnamed man involved in the fight who asked them to retrieve property he had left inside. When police went to the residence to interview Mr. Abuya about the incident and the property, he allegedly slammed the door on them, then opened it again to yell obscenities at the troopers.
Police also said he was uncooperative when they attempted to handcuff him.
Charged at 1:01 a.m. with second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, he was arraigned in Theresa Town Court and later held at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, Watertown.
Police said Mr. Abuyas information was obtained through Fort Drum military police, as he refused to give any identifying information about himself.

Womens Tennis Falls at No. 25 Nebraska in Season Opener
LINCOLN, Neb. – The Creighton women's tennis team dropped a 7-0 contest to No. 25 Nebraska at the Cornhuskers' Nebraska Tennis Center on Tuesday.
Playing under new experimental rules this season, doubles has been shortened from an eight-game pro-set to one six-game set. In addition, singles matches will no longer be played as a full best-of-three, but with a first-to-10-points tiebreaker played in lieu of a third set.
Nebraska (1-0) opened the match by sweeping the doubles point. Creighton (0-1) junior Jennie Hartjes and freshman Katherine Nelsen fell 6-0 at the No. 1 slot to Nebraska's Maggy Lehmicke and Mary Hanna.
The Cornhuskers clinched the point on doubles court three as CU junior Liz Vermillion and sophomore Sam Anderson came up short, 6-3, against Nebraska's Maike Zeppernick and Izabella Zgierska. At the No. 2 slot the Huskers won by the same score to complete the sweep as Lisa Andersson and Brittany Brewster defeated Creighton senior Analese Snyder and junior Amanda Noonan.
With a 1-0 lead the No. 25 Cornhuskers proved to be too much for the Bluejays on the singles courts. Zeppernick started the Huskers off with a 6-0, 6-1 decision over Anderson on court five. NU's Brewster moved past Vermillion 6-1, 6-2 at No. 4 singles to give the Huskers a 3-0 lead.
Nebraska's Andersson clinched the team match point with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Noonan at No. 6 singles. On court three CU's Nelsen fell in straight sets to Hanna 6-1, 6-2.
On court two Snyder dropped a 6-2, 6-1 decision to Zgierska. In the day's final match Hartjes fell 6-4, 6-0 to No. 63 Lehmicke at No. 1 singles.
The Creighton women's team will stay on the road for its next match at UMKC on Jan. 31.

"……….Once again I rewind and go back to my primary school days when this Jeerakamittai was a legendary figure among all of us --- a multi colored sugar coated granules , available in bulks and in packets ….. I think it was the cheapest then …. It had a magical attraction , especially when it was displayed in glass jars in stationary shops. Most children would have had it during their childhood days. Now I feel that children became addicts to this super sweet--- even Cadbury's were not preferred during those days. Such was the craze for this tiny colorful granules --- My daughter was no exception to this . When she was only two years , her Valliachan , my eldest brother used to give her a small packet of Jerakamittai whenever she visited him. He made her believe that it was a medicine, to be consumed only twice a day, thinking that he would have a control on her intake. But this prompted her to make frequent visits to Valliachan ' house and finally I was compelled to purchase it and keep it with me . An agreement was reached between us that she was allowed only two doses , one in the morning the other in the evening and that became a daily practice.
I still remember, my daughter never wanted to part with it when she enjoyed this delicacy. she was only two years then. One day, one of my close friends late Prof. Sureshkumar visited us and she was taking her morning dose of Jererakamittai. Professor closely watched her enjoying the sweets and after some time extended his hands and asked for a few. Without any hesitation she offered him just two mittais -- he put it in his mouth and pretended to be enjoying it and asked for the next…….but to my surprise, she carefully took two more and gave it to him. Professor repeated the same and asked for some more. she angrily turned her face and uttered "ini tharoooolla" ( I won't give) Professor made a comment "anyway she is generous--at least she was ready to part with four !!! very rarely children of this age behave like this "
My dear daughter , do you remember this ? "

Oh I love these jeeraka muttai and still buy them in the Indian shops here. Loved the way it colored my palms as I held it for some time.

Buzz: What Both Sides Appear To Be Offering On Some Issues
According to Andy Strickland of True Hockey, The NHLPA has countered the NHL offer of 6 year contracts, seven if you are re-signing your own player, with an offer of eight years contracts across the board.
He writes that the players are still concerned with the salary variance from year to year, which the NHL proposed to be 10%. The NHLPA has previously proposed 25%.
Strickland also notes that the NHL is holding firm at $60 million for the 2013-14 salary cap and that the players are moving in that direction.
He notes that there is reason to believe that the players have come off of their demand for a cap on escrow.
