While celebrity street style always inspires us to go from one day to the next in on-trend ensembles, your Who What Wear editors can't help but go ga-ga for a good gala. After all, we're magpies for a touch of sparkle and can be serious geeks for glitz, hence our excitement about the annual CFDA Fashion Awards! The ceremony, which took place on Monday night at Lincoln Center, is always a must-attend event and invariably attracts the leaders of the fashion pack wearing boldly beautiful looks. But before we get to the fabulous frocks and, ahem, killer pantsuit, a little background on this illustrious event!
Every year, The Council of Fashion Designers of America honors the top names in fashion in a variety of categories, and this year's accolades went to tastemakers we truly could not live without. Michael Kors pocketed the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, Marc Jacobs claimed another much-deserved Womenswear Designer of the Year statue, Alexis Bittar took home the title of Accessory Designer of the Year, Jason Wu won the Swarovski Award for Womenswear, and hometown favorite Alexander Wang snagged the Swarovski Award for Accessory Design. And while Ralph Lauren may have won the CFDA's popular vote, it's the eleven attendees we present you with today who were cause for our personal sartorial celebration. These ladies not only brought style in spades, often opting for a cool palette of black and white or a bold pop of pattern, but they also instantly intrigued us with their unfussy looks. The simplicity of their red-carpet outfits remind us that looking chic is all about the harmony of a few well-chosen accessories highlighting the construction of a well-made piece. Which isÂ--when the last champagne flute has been emptied and the last Choo surreptitiously slipped offÂ--what a soiree honoring fashion should be all about!Â--Liza Kaplan

WEST CARTHAGE The village board moved ahead five local laws Monday.
After review, the board agreed to have village Attorney Lawrence D. Hasseler look over four proposed local laws.
Village Clerk Deborah J. Pierce said the proposed law concerning farm animals within the village limits would exclude the Burdick property at 33 Broad St., which is classified as a dairy farm.
The clerk said the dog law was revamped, with changes including removing the leash length and rewording licensing through Jefferson County to the town of Champion. She said language used in the regulation of barking dogs and lawn maintenance also was addressed.
The proposed law regulating the use of bicycles was reworked because there was still a requirement from 1975 to obtain a bicycle license.
The village attorney will be asked to review these laws and one concerning soliciting. Mayor Scott M. Burto said that barring any problems, the board could set public hearings on the laws at the next meeting.
Mr. Burto asked the trustees to review municipal laws concerning nuisance abatement in hopes of drafting a similar law to address continued complaints.
It gives value to complaints and allows us to provide more enforcement, the mayor said.

Sydney Evan is a jewelry label with a higher consciousness. Peace signs, crosses, ankhs, and evil eyes are just some of the many spiritual symbols that Rosanne Karmes, the company's California-based designer, reinterprets in diamonds, rhodium, and other precious stones and metals. Founded in 2001, Sydney Evan has blossomed into a diverse jewelry line separated into categories such as the Edge (skulls and safety pin earrings, guns, and other edgy or punk-rock designs), Duality (lotus pendant necklaces, yin yang bracelets, and ankh charm bracelets), the Discs (disc-shaped, pave diamond pendant necklaces), and the Words (featuring the love ring, in which the word "love" is spelled out in a range of precious materials). Perhaps the most impressive, however, is Mammoth: a collection of bangle and beaded bracelets made from authentic fossilized mammoth tusks (an animal-friendly alternative to elephant ivory). Always evolving and fresh, Sydney Evan has become a label of choice among celebrities such as Demi Moore and the Olsen twins.
Delicate pieces are anything but with the designer's uniquely colorful gemstones.
Shine on in a dazzling collection of adornments, in sparkling can't-miss prices

George W. Bush, man of God.
He says he'll veto a bill on stem cell research funding, citing God as his reason. But my understanding is that any God would want the best for his children, including research which leads to containing and eradicating the terrible diseases which blight mankind. If God's the only one who can create life, why should the president worry that man can step into such a role. Its impossibility makes it sinless.
The other side of the Bush equation is our president's lack of regard for the value of both American and non-American lives. He has lied to and fleeced the American people into believing in an Iraqi war that has killed, and continues to kill, tens of thousands.
If I were Bush, I wouldn't be mentioning God. Instead I'd be hoping he didn't exist.

I'm looking for current info on dual booting XP Pro & Mandrake 9, the best way to do this/ what not to do...
I will be building this new PC next weekend (specs:- Asus A7V8X, ATI 9700 Commando, AMD 2400+,80gb HD'WD', DVD'16xpioneer', CDRW'HP' + floppy etc...)
I'm very confused as there really does not seem to be many consistent answers.
1)I install XP 1st 'On a logical partition' (this i know) but on a NTSF or Fat32?, as the new Mandrake is different to previous releases.
2) I have the newest version of PM, should I use this? or use Mandrake to resize partitions as it now has support for Linux file ext.
3) I read and understand that I can install Linux on primary or logical partitions, is there any advantage to either way?
Yes, a lot of these questions have been asked b4, but I do not seem to get a clear picture for my prefered install.
It does not matter to me if XP/Linux can share files, I just want to get used to using Linux for now.
I have also read that the iso images are harder to install from is there any truth in this?
Thanx in advance for any time spent for helping me.
Howdy there Sam,
well here we go. if i were to tell you how to exactly get your system to dual boot at this second, it probably wouldn't make sense. This is probably best left for when you are done making partitions, and installed the operating systems of choice. aside from that here are a few tips for dual booting:
1. as you know install windows first, simply for convenience. you may install it later, or second, but it involves an extra step or two to get it to dual boot. Once this is done we can add a few easy lines to the grub config file and you will be all set!
2. I may also suggest that you install GRUB, (GRand Unified Bootloader) to the MBR(Master Boot Record), once again for convenience.
3. If the drive is clean, don't bother using PM, just let the OS's do the partitioning. If this is a disk with stuff you don't want to use, then use PM to free up some space.
*note the OS will also deal with the formating for the partition, in case you were wondering.
4. you ask about what partition type to use. i would say that it all depends on what you would like to do. An NTFS partition is far better for windows from the stand point of fragmentation. then again, linux utilities are not very stable at this point as far as writing to an NTFS, and it is considered dangerous to do so. That aside, reading from an NTFS is fine. If you choose to use a FAT32, you will have no problem r/w on it from linux. This may be helpful if you would like to use some windows apps (probably games ) in linux.
5. as far as logical or primary partitions, i am not sure what the differences are, just let the distro have what it wants
6. There is no truth to the rumor that ISO's are harder to install from. What may catch some people up is that not all ISOs are bootable, but you can be mostly certain that your mandrake ISO is bootable. Another thing that bites people who are new to linux is that they don't burn the ISO properly. You must specifically tell the burner (assuming you are doing this from windows) to "make CD from image". i remember that you can choose this option in easy CD creator, under the file menu.
8. Another good tip would be to print out all the documents you can find on mandrake, partaining to installation, you never know what might confuse you on an installation. it doesn't hurt ot read them ahead on time too :P
*note use someone elses printer ;-)
anyways, i think that is enough to get started with, lemme know what else you are unclear about 8) 8) 8) 8)

Anyone who watched any football this weekend knows that pink is the color of October as October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From the Carbon High team's pink ankle wraps to pro players with pink mouth guards, even the biggest and burliest of men donned the bright hue to show their support for the fight against a very deadly disease.
Pink draws attention on a football field because it's out of place. In a salon however, the color pink is right at home - home with the women who fight breast cancer on the front lines. To draw attention and raise money locally, 14 salons and over 80 stylists, whose clients deal with the very real prospect of the big C every day, will come together every Tuesday this month to ensure that local women get a local hand up when it comes to the fight against cancer.
"To tell you the truth, the whole idea came about because the girls in our salon, which has a dress code, wanted to have a casual workday," explained Alicia Marrelli, owner and stylist at Bellasano Salon and Spa in Price. "I told them if they could come up with a fundraiser, we would order t-shirts and wear jeans and have a 'casual for a cause' event. Last year in September the idea came around again and we decided to support breast cancer awareness."
According to Marrelli, during October of last year, Bellasano Salon and Spa put aside 20 percent of their business every Tuesday for donation. The idea caught fire and the single salon fundraiser was quite successful.
"Thing went so well last year," said Marrelli. "We got our t-shirts and we had our fundraiser and there was a great amount of participation. That got us thinking, we're a salon, the majority of our clients are women and we would like to do everything we can to help the women in our community."
Last year, Bellasano donated the funds they raised to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a national cancer research and education organization which promotes new treatments and the search for a cure. And while the group was happy with how the event as a whole went, Marrelli and the rest of her staff became concerned about the local impact their funds could be making.
"I found out that there wasn't any Komen funding in our area and I was a little disappointed but the event was still for a good cause. This next year we wanted the money to stay local, so I said lets go huge, lets ask all the other salons to join in, do the same thing with all the other salons and keep everything local." said the Bellasano owner.
At that point, those involved with the project decided to partner with the United Way in order to have a fiscal agent and keep all funds raised in the Castle Valley. The formal name for the project is now "Salons for Survival at United Way." A committee will now oversee the disbursement of the funds from the United Way's offices. That committee will be comprised of one United Way board member and three from salons.
The committee has plans to focus the bulk of their donations on funding for mammograms.
"We really want to focus on prevention," explained Marrelli. "A person is supposed to start getting mammograms every year at age 40 and for whatever reason, the test gets put off in many cases. Sometimes those reasons are fiscal. Our program is going to be for working people with or without insurance. There are so many people who do have insurance who still can't afford all the extra expense."
According to Marrelli, a percentage will be put aside to help pay for mammograms, a percentage will be used to help with co-pay and deductible costs and a third percentage will fund actual treatment. Patient applications will be reviewed by the four member board at United Way and from that point, funding will be disbursed.
"We hope to keep the criteria small in order to apply for this money," said the Bellasano owner. "We don't want to raise this money and then hide it away. It is our hope to have the funds readily available for local women who need it."
Donation to the project is easy for anyone who needs a little taken off the top or just an excuse for that next pedicure. Any money garnered by the 14 participating salons on any Tuesday in October with become part of 'Salons for Survival.' Those interested in participating can contact their regular salon or call Bellasano for more information. In addition to the 20 percent Tuesday donation, every individual business involved will be conducting side events to help raise money.
For their part, the United Way will be taking in funds from their "cornerstone" organizations here in the Castle Valley to help the salons. Cornerstone businesses allow employees to donate a portion of their paycheck directly to a charity of their choosing with a 100 percent match coming from the company for every donation. Salons for Survival is now one of the "cornerstone" charities.
To kick the event off, USU Eastern's cosmetology department will be holding a bake sale on Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"The community and all of the other salons involved have stepped up so big," concluded Marrelli. "We have so many prizes to give away, businesses have been so generous and all of the other salons and girls involved have given a ton to this project. I think a lot of that supports comes from the effect that this disease has had on our whole community. So many women come into the salon with their stories of tribulations and their tales of hope. It is inspiring to listen to and I am so grateful to be part of this project."

SusanHairNormal HairCurly HairSqueaky CleanThis product is great. I have natural body to my hair. I couldn't find my shampoo that I had been using for more than 40 years. That company went out of business, I later found out. So I went with the times and found a product that was cream base and not clear like I had been using. Well I got a bad rash and itchy head form all cream base product no matter which one I tried. So one day I found this product in my local store and tried it out . What a pleasant surprise this shampoo was . Boy did it clean the build up of that cream based shampoo's and got rid of all the residue left behind in less than a week. It's been two months now and at the end of the bottle. No more itchy head or flake on the shoulder. I know I just found my new shampoo for the next 40 years.

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons crème fraîche or heavy cream
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 whole large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Scant 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Scant 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cranberry jam
- 1/4 cup water
- Special equipment: a 10-inch fluted metal quiche pan (2 inches deep) with a removable bottom; about 3 cups pie weights or raw rice; a pie shield (optional); a small offset spatula
- Accompaniment: candied-orange and cranberry compote
Make crust:

Make filling:
Blend cream cheese, crème fraîche, and sugar in cleaned food processor until creamy, about 1 minute. Add whole eggs, yolks, bourbon, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt and process until smooth.
Melt jam with water in a small heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring until smooth. Spread half of jam evenly over bottom of shell(reserving remaining jam in saucepan). Let layer of jam stand until set, about 5 minutes, then gently pour cream cheese mixture over it.
Bake tart:
Cover edge of tart shell with pie shield or foil and bake until filling is set but still trembles slightly in center, 35 to 40 minutes (filling will continue to set as it cools).
Cool tart completely in pan on a rack. Reheat remaining jam over low heat, stirring, until pourable, then pour over filling and spread evenly with offset spatula. Chill tart, uncovered, until cold, at least 2 hours.
Just before serving, remove side of pan.

We'd heard back in April that RIM, the manufacturer of the BlackBerry smartphones including the Bold Touch 9900, Bold 9790 and Curve 9360 as well as the Playbook tablet - had planned a new round of employee layoffs, this in addition to the 2,000 employees who have already lost their jobs this year.
Ironically, the new layoffs have begun almost one year to the day that The Waterloo Record reported last year's RIM layoffs that were necessary to cut costs. In this new round, RIM plans to lay off at least 10% of its global workforce.
RIM is pinning most of its hopes for a future on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone, but until that phone is on the market, RIM's sales are going to continue to languish. In a recent interview with The Waterloo Record, a RIM spokesperson revealed this: "RIM has committed to achieving significant efficiencies and operating cost reductions over the course of this fiscal year. Our financial target is to drive at least $1 billion in savings by the end of fiscal 2013. Headcount reductions are part of this initiative."
Rim's spokesperson said the current round of job reductions could see as many as 6,000 cuts as RIM tries to achieve $1 billion in savings by the end of fiscal 2013.

Over the last 4+ seasons, when the words "New York Rangers" and
"Head Coach" were making headlines, it was a safe bet that the word
"fireworks" would likely follow. John Tortorella was well-known for
his unforgettable sound bites and aggressive personality when it came to
dealing with both his players and the New York media. It appears as though the new Ranger coach won't follow in his footsteps. Alain Vigneault (who'd like to be known as "AV") took to the
microphone with something to be said Friday at Radio City Music hall and a
simple philosophy. The soft spoken AV simply said, he wants hockey to be played
"the right way". Whether that means taking the high percentage play
or giving more creative offensive liberties to the players will only be known
next season, but Vigneault seems intent on having a more relaxed, less fiery presence
with the New York media. He even had a joke or two at the expense of Glen
Sather, and their relationship seems to be getting off on the right foot. He
was the first to admit that he wasn't particularly familiar with all of the
Blueshirt personnel, but would be spending this next week getting better
acquainted with them and preparing for the upcoming draft and free agency
period with the Ranger brain trust. Following the press conference, Vigneault
was very approachable, and sat down with about 25 members of the media and just
spoke candidly. He was very conversational, and had a calm demeanor, coming
across very relaxed and comfortable in front of the bright lights of the big
city. AV's got every reason to have be relaxed with his pedigree. The record speaks
for itself: he led Vancouver to the Presidents' trophy and a win percentage
over .700 just two seasons ago, and was a win away from capturing the Stanley
Cup. He's had head coaching experience going all the way back to 86-87 season
in both the QMJHL and NHL, and his win percentage is approaching .600 more and
more each season. But what can AV do for us? He knows how to develop and mentor young talent. He was able to guide the Sedin
twins and Ryan Kessler along in their young careers, and will be looking to
help the undeveloped talent in New York mature in the same way. John Tortorella
lost a lot of support by choosing to call out some of the younger guys in the
media; and it looks as though AV will not be handling his players in the same
fashion. Ranger fans were in need of a personality change after the Tortorella years, as
his intense personality wore out his welcome at MSG. Vigneault is signed for
five years in New York, and if his successful record in Vancouver is any
indication of what he can do with mentoring youngsters, Ranger fans are getting
excited just thinking about what he can do with the offensive firepower already
signed for next year. I think everyone in New York is happy to have a
"player's coach" at the helm of the 2013-2014 campaign.

Kenya Brews Up a Good Cup
Kenya is following up on the success of South Africa to bring locally-produced goods to the Kenyan marketplace. Two years ago, South Africa began selling Fairtrade certified products in their domestic market. Kenya is the next country to look to the domestic market with Fairtrade Certified Safari Kenya Coffee, a new line of coffee from Dormans Coffee. The company, founded in 1950, is one of Kenya's leading coffee roasters and exporters.
In preparing for the launch, a baseline research study by Cambridge University and commissioned by Fairtrade Africa, the Fairtrade producer network for Africa, demonstrated enormous potential for market growth in the country. Not only does Kenya have a large expatriate market already exposed to the Fairtrade movement, the country also boasts a growing middle class that is committed to development in Africa.
Introducing Fairtrade products to the African market requires support from consumers, traders, companies, civil society, farmer's cooperatives, the government, and even religious bodies. Fairtrade Africa will work to bring together these stakeholders.
The Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA), a tea company in Kenya, has expressed interest in selling on the local market.

"This pale yellow colored Chardonnay opens with an attractive pear bouquet with a hint of oak and On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied, creamy and rich. The flavor profile is a mild lemon butter with nicely integrated vanilla oak. I also detected a hint of Bosc pear. The finish is dry and its flavors are nicely prolonged. I would pair this very nice traditional styled California Chardonnay with chicken cordon bleu."
91 pts - Rich Cook, WineReviewOnline
"Like its Napa Valley stablemate, this Chardonnay is meant for your table. The focus is on orange fruit here – tangy tangerine and orange zest are joined by spicy pear, melon and fig. It's soft and creamy on the initial sip, followed by lively acidity and a long citrus finish. It's begging for food -- something rich and creamy over the catch of the day will do just fine."

Simply put, the Vans V-66 Snowboard Boot is a snowboarder's snowboard boot. Shallow in the vein of gimmicks and gadgets, rich in comfort and long-lasting support. No moving parts, no flashing lights, just quality ingredients and a super-dialed fit.
Traditional lacing is the rider's choice for reliability and a custom fit thanks to stainless steel Double-Posted Gripping lace hooks. Leather in the upper is waterproof and durable, and the Pleasure Cuff flexes at the back of the boot to minimize calf bite and keep you shredding until the lifts stop running. The QuadFit-X Thermal liner is heat-moldable and features an Asymmetrical X-Cage for solid heel hold. UltraCush construction replaces rubber in the OTW Lite outsole to reduce weight without sacrificing traction or durability.

Best Boot I've Ridden Yet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've ridden DC's Park boot and Thirty Two's Lashed boot, they were good but I always had heel lift and the Thirty Two's didn't last me more than a season before wearing out and losing the cushion. I bought these Vans because of the heel hold closure system, when you tighten the laces around the ankle, it tightens the liner and boot around that area, making for supreme heel hold. Also, they have a velcro power strap around the liner around the mid calve area, keeping them tight all day. I've put just shy of 60 days in them this season, riding various conditions, and working Park Crew at my local resort. They've held up nice and feel just as good as the day I got them. Cushion is amazing, feel is nice, and the leather construction holds up very well. The only complaint I have about them is that snow and ice get stuck on the soles a lot more than any other boot i've had. Not a huge deal but it gets annoying when strapping in. I'm a size 11.5 shoe, and the size 11 boots fit me perfectly. Heat molding is a must, I would buy these again in a heartbeat. Vans for the win!

Brutal Legend Summary
Brutal Legend Review
Brutal Legend: Is it metal enough for you? (PS3)
Latest news
Tim Schafer would love a 'new game or DLC' for Brutal Legend
Double Fine's Tim Schafer says he "would love to go back" to the Brutal Legend universe, and he thinks Jack Black "might be up for it, too," the well-known actor and musician behind the lead role.
It cost around $25 million, and ponying up that kind of cash for an entire sequel "might be tricky," admits Schafer, but he'd love to return "even just do a DLC pack".
Double Fine "rooting" for SteamOS, Paradox's EU4 and CK2 'should run natively'
Brutal Legend's Double Fine is all thumbs up for SteamOS, especially as their games are already working on Linux. Controllers will no longer be "an afterthought" by PC developers.
Paradox Interactive also jumps in proclaiming the new Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II is ready to go for SteamOS including "all our future games".
Humble Bundle #9 brings the indie classics
This week's Humble Bundle brings out some of the biggest indie titles of the past few years, with Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend tossed in.
Double Fine "still trying" to secure Stacking and Costume Quest IPs
Tim Schafer has confirmed his studio is "still trying to get the rights" to their bite size properties Stacking and Costume Quest, which were picked up by Nordic Games during the THQ auction.
They're even after Brutal Legend from EA and Iron Brigade from Microsoft. They want to bring full IP and distribution rights "in house." Later in 2013, Double Fine's Kickstarter project releases.
Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend finally landing on PC via Steam
Double Fine Productions has announced that the PC version of Brutal Legend, starring Jack Black, is finally hitting Steam after being released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 back in 2009. The hard rock inspired title will be $19.99 USD, but preorders will slash 25% off the price for $14.99 USD.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Oil futures settled back below $96 a barrel Wednesday, with losses intensifying after the U.S. House approved a three-month suspension of the debt ceiling and on news of limited capacity in the newly expanded Seaway Pipeline.
Traders also looked forward to this week's petroleum inventory data, with expectations for a climb in crude supplies.
Crude oil for March delivery US:CLH3 fell $1.45, or 1.5%, to settle at $95.23 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices had spent the bulk of the session trading mostly lower, but holding above $96. Prices gained 64 cents to settle at $96.68 on Tuesday. Read: Oil ends above $96 as demand prospects improve.
Oil traded as low as $94.95 Wednesday.
The U.S. House approved a suspension of the debt ceiling until May 19. See: House approves short-term debt-limit extension.
And Enterprise Products Partners EPD, +0.84% said it reduced the amount of oil the Seaway pipeline was delivering to Jones Creek in Texas because the delivery point had reached capacity, according to a report from Dow Jones Newswires. The pipeline's capacity had been expanded to 400,000 barrels earlier this month from 150,000 barrels.
Limiting some capacity in the Seaway pipeline means that the supply glut of oil at Cushing, Okla., the delivery hub for Nymex oil futures, might be reduced as fast as some had hoped, said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Price Futures Group.
"That caused a knee-jerk selloff" after the market was already been weakening following the debt-ceiling vote, he said.
The passage of the debt-ceiling vote "means that the Federal Reserve may not have to carry the entire economy on its back. It should be dollar bullish," said Flynn.
The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.43% edged up to 79.934 from around 79.892 late Tuesday. Strength in the dollar tends to pressure prices for dollar-denominated commodities.
WTI versus Brent
Meanwhile, the spread between West Texas Intermediate crude traded on Nymex and Brent crude traded in London widened.
Brent crude saw its March contract UK:LCOH3 gain 38 cents, or 0.3%, to $112.80 a barrel on ICE Futures in London.
In a research note Wednesday, analysts at Morgan Stanley said that the spread between WTI and Brent crude prices should remain wide for much of the year. On Wednesday, the differences between the prices stood at around $17 a barrel.
The completed expansion of the Seaway pipeline had raised expectations that the glut of oil in storage at Cushing will soon be alleviated. But Morgan Stanley analysts said that while the "new exit capacity" out of Cushing and West Texas will help ease pressure on midcontinent crude balances in the first half of this year, it will "prove insufficient to clear the Cushing bottleneck."

The Internet is rife with details about the firearms Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and six adults before turning a handgun on himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14. But information about Lanza's medical history is scarce, breeding speculation that he may fit the profile of school shooters under the influence of psychotherapeutic medication.
"In virtually every mass school shooting during the past 15 years, the shooter has been on or in withdrawal from psychiatric drugs," writes Lawrence Hunter of the Social Security Institute. "Yet, federal and state governments continue to ignore the connection between psychiatric drugs and murderous violence, preferring instead to exploit these tragedies in an oppressive and unconstitutional power grab to snatch guns away from innocent, law-abiding people."
School shooters on psychotropic drugs include:
• Eric Harris, one of the assailants at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in 1999, whose autopsy revealed he had a therapeutic level of the antidepressant Luvox in his system;
• Steve Kazmierczak, who killed six including himself at Northern Illinois University in 2008 while in withdrawal from the antidepressant Prozac;
• Jeffrey Weise, a student at Red Lake High School in Minnesota, who killed ten and wounded seven in 2005 while on Prozac;
• Kip Kinkel, an Oregon teen who murdered his parents and proceeded on a shooting spree at his high school in 1998, killing two and wounding 25, while in Prozac withdrawal;
• Toby Sincino, a 15-year-old who shot two teachers and himself in 1995 at his South Carolina school while on the antidepressant Zoloft.

Nonna's Trip (El viaje de la nonna)
Mexican helmer Sebastian Silva's Spanish-language feature Nonna's Trip marks one of the few recent dramas to tackle, head-on, the complications wrought by the mnemonic loss attached to senility. Ana Ofelia Murguia stars as Nonna, the grandmother of the title, whose hold on the past is rapidly slipping away from her. During her last days of cognizance, she reaches out for one last, desperate hold on the golden memories that she cherishes: a trip to Italy, and a visit to her late husband's place-of-birth on that peninsula. Together with the members of her immediate family, the Todaros, Nonna indeed embarks on such a voyage, in search of relics from the past - a journey replete with joyous, occasionally surprising discoveries and radiant with the bonds of togetherness, as the elderly woman's self-awareness lingers tentatively.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Charter schools are semi-autonomous public schools, founded by educators, parents, community groups, or private organizations that operate under a written contract with a state, district, or other entity. This contract, or charter, details how the school will be organized and managed, what students will be taught and expected to achieve, and how success will be measured. Many charter schools enjoy freedom from rules and regulations affecting other public schools, as long as they continue to meet the terms of their charters. Charter schools can be closed for failing to satisfy these terms.
As of the 2011-2012 school year, 41 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico had enacted charter school legislation, with over 5,600 individual charter schools across the country. Charter school laws often vary from state to state, and often differ on several important factors, including who is allowed to authorize charter schools, how much money charter schools receive for operational and facilities expenses, and whether the teachers in a charter school have to be certified.
An enormous amount of studies have examined the impact of charter schools on student achievement, schools, and school districts. While it is difficult to draw any definitive conclusions on the impact of charter schools on student achievement, these studies shed light on who is attending charter schools, how charter schools operate, and how school districts are reacting to, and interacting with, charter schools.

EAST PROVIDENCE — Riverside native Kevin Robinson abhors very few things in life, and what tops the list is seeing people treating others unfairly, being unkind just for the sake of humor or self-promotion.
The same goes for those who choose not to live by the "Golden Rule" — that is, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
That was the crystal-clear message the eight-time X Games' BMX aerial trickster and best pal Chris Poulos delivered to over 1,800 East Providence High students in their gymnasium on Friday morning.
He and Poulos — at 39 a national and world champion in BMX flatland events, not to mention a nationally-ranked marathoner — entitled their program simply "Bullying Prevention/Living a Positive Lifestyle."
"I think this is so necessary in the world we live in now," Robinson noted as he signed dozens of autographs and had photos taken with inquisitive juniors and seniors following the 80-minute session. "People need to be shown that hard work and perseverance pays off. It can lead you to a positive lifestyle.
"You look at all the negative things on TV, the negative media that's out there, and it drives me crazy; I don't like all that negative stuff," he added. "I think we impacted these kids here. If I can get through to just two kids, then I've done my job. Like I said, being nice can have a snowball effect. If a few kids spread the word of having a positive attitude, it'll become contagious. I believe being nice boosts everyone's spirits."
The two champions opened the power-point presentation (they previously had addressed all freshmen and sophomore Townies) with one adage both have utilized for decades — "Dream Your Life, Then Live Your Dream."
"I want to talk to you about bullying, and tell you that it's NOT OK to treat someone badly," stated Robinson, his right arm still in a sling due to nine shoulder dislocations and four surgeries the past several months. "For those of you who have been bullied, it's going to get better, I promise you."
Poulos admitted he found it fascinating to observe differences in humans, that such diversity makes the world go 'round.
"Being different is kind of cool, actually," said Poulos, also Robinson's business partner and one who works closely with Robinson's K-ROB Foundation, which provides financial support for young E.P. athletes and families who may not be able to afford participation. "What if we were all the same, and wore a white T-shirt, jeans, white sneakers? Wouldn't that be boring?"
They quickly displayed a video of a young teen named Tyler, a student who suffered from Asperger's, a mild form of autism.
Tyler's mom stated those with Asperger's need consistency, as they're very regimented. She claimed if someone talked in his class, her son would say to schoolmates, "You're not supposed to do that. That's the rule."
The boy, she revealed, soon became sullen, and wasn't the fun-loving, outgoing boy she raised. She said it was a result of the bullying Tyler had endured.
One morning during his junior year, the video noted, Tyler donned his favorite shirt and jeans, grabbed his belt and hung himself from the top of his bedroom closet.
"His parents have to live with the fact they had lost their child forever," Robinson explained to the audience, now hushed. "This is happening in alarming numbers, and it's because kids aren't being treated the way they should be. Your first impression of somebody can stay with you your whole life."
Robinson himself was bullied as a child and teen. Neighborhood kids teased him because he always rode his bike, doing tricks. He didn't take part in many mainstream sports, as he adored being on two wheels and pushing himself to create more difficult maneuvers.
"I was thought of as weird because I rode BMX, which wasn't real popular then," he said. "I remember a guy came up to me two years ago at an event, and he said, 'Hey, Kev! How's it going? You were great! That was terrific!' I was thinking, 'Uh-uh.' He was one of the guys who used to bully me. I remembered what he did to me. Do you want to be remembered that way?"
Poulos recalled the time he attended a BMX event, and had watched in awe as two guys juggled boomerangs and hula hoops. He approached the boomerang expert to tell him how impressed he was with their precision, and the man told him to try to throw one through a hoop held by his juggling partner.
"It went the wrong way, and I ended up hitting someone in the head," he offered. "When I was competing later, some people in the audience yelled, 'Hey, boomerang guy! Who else you gonna hit?' It affected me so much, I took last place.
"On the plane heading home, I decided if I ever saw someone make a mistake, I would support him," he continued. "I knew how it felt, and I didn't like it … How many times have you guys made a mistake, and then someone laughed at you, embarrassed you? You didn't like it, either, did you?"
Stated Robinson: "If you see someone being picked on, step up and say something. There's nothing wrong with that, because you know that behavior is wrong."
At that point, the tandem asked for four volunteers from the audience, and Robinson pretended to be a new kid in school. The volunteers stood by Poulos, who then exhibited the way to treat such a student.
As he looked at his "friends," he stated, "Hey, that kid dyed his hair, and he looks alright. Let's go talk to him." The volunteers followed, and they began conversing. Poulos asked if Robinson if he was new to the school, and the latter replied, "Yeah, I'm a senior, and have been for 20 years." That remark made the volunteers — and those watching from the bleachers — roar with laughter.
Robinson shook the four volunteers' hands, stating each time, "Hi, I'm Kevin!" He then told all the importance of making eye contact when shaking hands, and that he stated his name so often because that's a tool to help them remember it.
"If you've got fear inside you, the more you push through it, the easier it becomes," he said.
He then introduced the ingredients to making what he calls "The Nice Snowball." Among them: Be kind to others; make new friends; don't bully anyone; trust; face your fears; hard work, perseverance; and working together.
"If you do good things, good things will happen," he mentioned. "If you do negative things, then negative things will occur. If you're nice to teachers, chances are outstanding they'll be nice back … It all works together."
While discussing trust, the duo asked for three teacher volunteers, and had them lay near midcourt. When Poulos — riding his bike — asked students if anyone owed these teachers any homework, the crowd giggled again.
Robinson told all he usually performs such a trick, but couldn't because of his injured shoulder, so Poulos would take over. Poulos then pedaled mightily around the gym, then took aim at a leap over the prone instructors. He immediately jumped off the bike and hurdled over them legs first.
When he tried it again, this time with his 20-inch two-wheeler, he succeeded, and the onlookers applauded mightily.
"I trusted Chris, even though he's a 'flatlander,' and the teachers trusted him to perform the trick," Robinson smiled. "That's what I mean by trust, and overcoming fear … People have asked me if I was afraid at the top of a ramp, and I was, like, 'Heck, yeah!' But I also was driven to do something I hadn't done before.
"When it comes to hard work, how many of you have come to school and crammed in 'homeroom' because you didn't study?" he asked, several students raising their hands. "I know I used to do it, but don't you feel better when you put the work in? Chris does a flatland run for hours and hours to get it as close to perfection as he possibly can."
Robinson explained his own desire to depict perseverance. He admitted he tried for months to nail a trick he named the "Double Flair," two backward somersaults with a half-twist.
"I had people tell me I couldn't do it, that it was impossible; I tried really hard, and kept crashing," he offered. "I had a bulging disk in my back and a fractured elbow."
Another video showed him at a competition, falling hard to the wood. The next displayed him succeeding, and Robinson indicated, "Besides my wife and kids, that trick is the best thing to ever happen to me. Winning gold medals doesn't mean anything compared to the feeling of completing that trick. Everything I set out to accomplish, I go for it."
They finished the assembly with the phrase "Working Together."
Robinson talked about having to travel to Pennsylvania to train, as a site there had outstanding facilities, but he always had promised himself he would return to his hometown one day and develop an organization to help others.
He mentioned the East Providence Mohawks youth football squad recently winning the regional title, but needed financial aid getting to the national championships in Orlando, Fla. He went to a practice at Pierce Field in December, and brought along dear friend and former Patriots' linebacker Tedy Bruschi to deliver checks for approximately $5,000.
"Just being able to do nice things for people is a lot better than being mean to them," he said. "Those kids' jaws dropped when I walked up with Tedy. I mean, we're all Townies here, and you've got to support your peers. We've all got to try to make this city would it should be."
Robinson asked a volunteer named Brendan to hold his helmet, and to hand it to him. The caveat: He told him he couldn't move. The boy seemed puzzled when Robinson stepped back 10 feet, and he said, "I can't." A classmate from the audience yelled, "Ask for help!" and the champions were thrilled. Three more students took the floor, and passed the helmet to each other, then to Robinson.
In the end, Robinson told the kids to scream, "Dream Your Life, Then Live Your Dream" three times. They didn't need to be asked twice.
"I got a lot out of this," said senior Frank Allen. "It gave me a sense of motivation, and being friendly to those in school. That's something we need to get us going. I think this will motivate me for the rest of the year. It showed me hard work and perseverance pays off."
Stated classmate Derek Andreoli: "I think everybody saw what those two did, and they've raised the spirit of the school. Being friendly to others just makes sense. They explained if you want to enjoy the rest of your life, you've got to be open-minded."
Freshman Adrianna Dilibero met Robinson at the E.P. Heritage Festival last summer, and was intrigued by his mindset then.
"He's an awesome guy, and I agree that people need to be nicer," she smiled. "Everyone needs to accept people for who they are."
A friend approached her, and she immediately said, "Let's be snowballs!"
When told of that gesture, Robinson grinned, "That's music to my ears."

Women and children flee Democratic Republic of Congo after rebels invade Goma
Another World Vision aid worker, Aimee Manimani, said, 'Yesterday, when I heard the sounds of the bombs and mortar, I just got depressed. I started crying. I couldn't control myself. I had to leave home again.'
Manimani continued: 'Like most of my Congolese, I feel humiliated by everything that we are forced to go through. I feel disgusted to leave everything behind and flee ... We had a normal life; we could face poverty and many other difficulties, we could manage all with the hope that everything will be fine one day. But now we must flee. Parents and children have to hide under the bed, in the bushes or wherever they would feel safe. Now thousands of parents can't even protect their children ... this makes me very sad.'

I would like to take this opportunity to revisit the topic of my last entry, but from a different vantage point. Last time I reported on the horrific natural disaster that befell the people along the northeast coast of Japan. Much of my report was centered on the idea that natural disasters might lead us to spontaneously affiliate with others on a species level, which seems plausible given the Internet buzz of bloggers and commentators responding to the story. When I wrote that story, I didn't really talk about the mechanism responsible for the link between natural disaster and spontaneous human-in-group affiliation (I said you would have to wait for the manuscript). While I would normally like to keep interested parties in suspense, I stumbled on a new study just released that might inform our understanding how this phenomenon might occur.
Zagefka et al. (2011) conducted a study that examined donating behavior. Specifically, they look at whether willingness to donate to disaster relief differs depending on the type of disaster (i.e., natural disasters, like the one that rocked Japan vs. human-caused disasters, like under-aged Bangladeshi girls being whipped to death for being raped because of barbaric religious scruples). Interestingly, across four studies they found that people were far more will to donate to help victims of both real-life disasters and fictitious disasters if they where seen as naturally caused than if they were seen as human caused. Apparently, the driving mechanism was that victims were seen as less blameworthy. While I might question whether victims of human caused disasters are always to blame, when suffering is caused at the hands of humans, blame is certainly a player in determining how we will react to those victims.
I think the idea of perception of blame is a very interesting candidate for a causal mechanism allowing us to spontaneously connect to other humans at the in-group level. If one were to compare the reaction the Japanese disaster and the religious killing of an under-aged rape victim (see link below) it is clear that blame is much more prevalently assigned by the commentators in the second case than by those in the first. It seems that when there are people, institutions and belief systems to blame (victims and perpetrators alike), people disregard their human connections and maintain their more concrete group affiliations.

One of the greatest instruments ever made, crafted precisely like the original!
One year after its introduction in 1958, the ES-335 settled on its classic configuration. Many players prefer the 1959 rounded neck profile, which is a little heftier than the models produced after mid-1962, giving you plenty to hold onto. The fretboard dots--rather than the later bars--distinctively mark this Custom Shop re-creation as a 1959 model. Perfect to the last detail, this world-class semi-hollowbody is indistinguishable in every way from the 335s that rolled off the line in '59. It's even made on the exact same forms used then.
This model benefits from Gibson Custom's 20th Anniversary Specifications, newly adopted for 2013. These include a one-piece rosewood fingerboard, Kluson Deluxe machine heads, hot-hide glue neck fit, a Historic Truss Rod assembly with no tubing, accurate body and fingerboard binding color and new Custom Buckers created in the image of the original PAFs. Includes case.
You won't really be able to appreciate the magnificent tone and workmanship of this stunning classic until you hold it in your hands. It's only a call or click away. Go for it!

Comments about Gibson Custom 2015 1959 ES-335 Historic Dot Reissue:
I've had mine for about a month now and the honeymoon still continues. I usually play the SG or Les Paul but have always been curious about the 335. I was in a shop and plugged it in and I couldn't resist. I forked over my credit card shortly thereafter. It is really a versitle, fine instrument that rings like a bell. I only use it with a Fender Blues Deville amp and it will feed back unlike any other guitar that I have ever played. No need for a bunch of pedals and effects. The hollow body makes a big difference in the sustain and feedback. While it's a bit pricey, I would do it again. If you get a chance play one. You may want to leave your credit card at home.....
Comments about Gibson Custom 2015 1959 ES-335 Historic Dot Reissue:
This is no one trick pony. While it may not be the guitar for everyone, there is little it cannot due exceptionally well.I purchased a Faded Cherry Red, 1959 Custom Historic ES-335 primarily as a Blues and Jazz Ggitar. The quality, fit and finish were exceptional. The neck was beefier that current production guitars and felt perfect. Every guitarist who picked it up the ommented that was the best feel, smoothest playing neck they had experienced.I then purchased a second 1959 Custom Historic ES-335 in blonde. This was intended to be a back-up guitar. The purchase was made sight unseen over the internet. This guitar had an even chunkier neck. From my point of view, this was the ultimate neck and the blonde has become my primary guitar.Coupled with a lower wattage tube amp, this guitarwill sing or scream at the whim of the player. This guitar is no light-weight. It is indeed a mass of maple. But, that is what gives it an incredible tone.While not inexpensive by any standard. This guitar is well worth the investment for the discerning player.

Parent's Corner
Youth Sports Frequently Asked Questions
New Parent Orientation - WINTER 2015
New Parent Orientation will be held on Saturday, December 13th at 9:00am at the Development and Community Services Building (9875 N. 85th Ave.) Any new parent that hasn't been in our program or hasn't attended is strongly encouraged to attend.
What determines if I am a resident or non-resident?
The RESIDENT RATE APPLIES if where you permanently reside or live within the corporate limits of the City of Peoria and you pay property taxes to the City. Proof of residency is required at the time of registration. Acceptable proof is a copy of your property tax statement showing the physical location of your residence or we can look this up at www.maricopa.gov/Assessor/GIS/map.html
County Island residents who do not pay taxes directly to the City of Peoria are not eligible for the resident rate. Children who attend schools in the Peoria Unified School District are not automatically considered Peoria residents – the above mentioned residency requirement still applies.
Rain Out Line: 623-773-7575When rain is in the forecast, or has already occurred, on a day when youth games/matches are scheduled (usually Saturdays), the Peoria Sports Rainout Hotline will be updated by 7am with information about if games/matches will be played that day or not. Note that morning games/matches may be cancelled or postponed while afternoon games may be played as normal. Games are rarely cancelled due directly to rain; they are most often cancelled due to field/playing conditions being unsafe (a decision that is at the discretion of Peoria Youth Sports Staff). It is recommended that coaches and parents check in periodically during the morning for any updates about the situation and a particular site or sport. Additional instructions will normally be included on the recorded message as well. It is the policy of Peoria Youth Sports not to make up youth sports game/matches that are cancelled.
How Teams Are Created
The process of creating teams for youth sports can be complex. The criteria below is used to aid in the placement of players and to create a priority for which players might be placed with a certain team or coach. There are always extenuating circumstances that might cause a change in this criteria. In most cases this will be the order in which players are placed.
At no point will a coach be allowed to request specific players be placed on their roster unless they are direct family members or a verifiable hardship exists.
Why You Haven't Been Contacted By A Youth Sports Coach
Rosters are given to the coaches to contact the players assigned to their team at coaches meetings the week prior to the start of practices. Coaches are asked to contact each player on their roster as soon as time allows. Practices are normally scheduled to officially begin two weeks prior to the first game/match, but this may vary depending on the season. Some of the reasons why a player would not have heard from a youth sports coach include:
If by the week prior to the first games/matches you have not heard from either a coach or a representative from the city, please call the Community Services Main Desk at (623)773-7137 for an update about your specific situation. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to get these issues resolved as fast as possible.

Women's Basketball Beats Villanova in BIG EAST Debut, 65-58
OMAHA, Neb. -- Marissa Janning, McKenzie Fujan and Sarah Nelson combined for 51 of Creighton's 65 points, and four clutch free throws from freshman Lauren Works down the stretch helped the Bluejays to a 65-58 win over Villanova in its BIG EAST debut on Saturday, Dec. 28.

DNR to Request Removal of 3 Fishing Rod Limit Per Person in Tidal Waters & Seeks Input on Jug Limit
1/23/2014 | Posted by pgenoveseTags: Recreational
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR) Fisheries Service will proceed with an emergency regulation in February 2014 to remove the three fishing rod limit per person that was established for tidal waters nearly 7 months ago. This decision is based upon new information that suggests this regulation may have a negative socio-economic impact on tackle shops and sports fishermen, and because the primary objective of this regulation was to address a statewide inconsistency in rod limits rather than conservation.
A letter and full explanation of emergency regulation to remove limit is available on the
Sport Fisheries Advisory Commission's January 28 meeting web page.
Anglers are encouraged to frequently visit our regulatory web page at www.dnr.maryland.gov/fisheries/regulations/draftregulations.asp to stay aware of and provide input on potential fishing rule changes.
