Hurricane Isaac: CWS Emergency Situation Report
Hurricane Isaac made landfall on August 28 and continues to produce drenching rains that are expected to cause significant inland flooding. While damage assessments cannot start until the storm moves past the coast, CWS Emergency Response Specialists are working with state, regional and national agencies to determine where help is needed.

Situation report:
Hurricane Isaac made landfall last night as a slow moving Category 1
hurricane with sustained winds of 40 to 80 miles per hour. While it
only has Category 1 winds, it is a large and wide ranging storm with a
significant storm surge, and it will continue to produce drenching
rains from the Florida panhandle to the eastern coast of Texas. The
storm is extremely slow moving and is still over the Louisiana coast
where it continues to sustain its energy from the waters of the gulf.
The continued storm surge combined with high tides will significantly
add to the coastal flooding. Damage assessments cannot start until the
storm moves past the coast. As it moves north, heavy rains can be
expected to cause significant inland flooding. It is also not
uncommon for tornadoes to spin off from a hurricane.
CWS response:
CWS Emergency Response Specialists are working with state, regional
and local VOADs (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster), FEMA
(Federal Emergency Management Agency), our member denominations and
other agencies to determine where CWS denominations are helping or are
needed. CWS will provide material resources, including blankets,
Hygiene Kits and Clean-up Buckets, as requested. CWS also will assist
communities in developing long-term recovery plans, providing
technical and financial support, as possible. The CWS Emergency
Response Specialist working with the organizations in Florida is Joann
Hale. The specialist for the Gulf Coast states is
Sandra Kennedy-Owes.
How to help:
Contributions to support CWS emergency response efforts around the world may be made online, sent to your denomination, or to Church World Service, P.O. Box 968, Elkhart, IN 46515.

CANTON The couple on trial for the assault and attempted kidnapping of a Massena woman were advised to seek a plea deal by St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards at the close of the first day of testimony Wednesday.
It was 4:25 p.m. when Judge Richards excused the jury and turned to Patrick R. Lloyd, 25, of New York City, and Miranda M. Green, 18, of 37 Howard St., Massena, and told them their fate could be in the hands of one witness.
Mr. Lloyd, 25, and Ms. Green, 18, are accused of shoving Catherine A. Berry, 18, to the ground and punching and kicking her in the face several times on Feb. 16.
Police said the two then restrained Ms. Berrys hands and tried to force her into their vehicle before their actions drew the attention of neighbors in the Sycamore Street area of Massena where the incident took place.
Ms. Berry reportedly suffered bruises and facial swelling as a result of the attack.
Its that neighbor, Roxanne Erlendson, who can put the pair in prison, Judge Richards said.
Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Green both face charges of second-degree attempted kidnapping, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, second-degree unlawful imprisonment and petit larceny.
Mr. Lloyd faces an additional charge of second-degree attempted assault, and Ms. Green faces an additional charge of third-degree assault.
The reason there is a trial, Judge Richards said, is that Mr. Lloyds attorney, Edward F. Narrow, commissioned Canton private investigator Donald J. Tracy to look into the matter after hearing reports that Ms. Berry had given accounts of the incident to people in the community that contradicted her earlier statements to police.
Uncertainty of how Ms. Berry will testify before a grand jury she accused the two off the attack, but then recanted her story in a written statement to Mr. Tracy has hung over the case. Ms. Berry did not testify Wednesday.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duve said she spoke with Ms. Berry and predicts that she will testify that Ms. Green and Mr. Lloyd did attack her and try to kidnap her.
If she does testify the way Ms. Duve predicts, there will leave lots of room to cross-examine, leaving it in the hands of the jury, Judge Richards said.
Judge Richards said that while it may be determined, though her testimony, that Ms. Berry is a troubled girl, Ms. Erlendsons testimony could be rock-solid.
The judge added that he recognized Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Green as not just two defendants, but as a family. Ms. Green is pregnant with Mr. Lloyds child, and the judge said that if the two were convicted, they would unquestionably be sentenced to prison, with Mr. Lloyd facing a maximum of 15 years as a violent, second-felony offender.
Roxy is the one that will convince the jury, Judge Richards said of allegations against Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Green. I believe each of you should be talking to your lawyers about a plea deal.
Testimony is scheduled to continue today at 9:30 a.m. with Ms. Berry taking the stand.

Remember the days when you got an allowance and your parents warned you not to spend it all in one place? Back then, we ignored their advice and proceeded to squander the entirety of our earnings on that one CD everyone at school had on repeat. But today, dear readers, we're a bit older and wiser and know how to make smarter decisions with our money, especially when it comes to fashion! So what does that mean for summer wardrobe budgets? We suggest stocking up on a few essentials to get you through this sunny season instead of spending all of your money on just one item! To help you make these savvy purchases, we've compiled a comprehensive list of must-haves, including a chic denim beach tote, a woven hat, and a vibrant bikini. Be sure to check out what other warm-weather products topped our list and don't hesitate to let us know which of our picks were your favorite!
Chic Beach Tote/ Lands' End Canvas 1963 Denim Tote ($59.50) in Dark Denim
Much like wearing stiletto heels to a kid's birthday party, bringing an expensive handbag to the beach is simply not practical for the occasion! If you're ocean-bound this summer, opt for a tote in a casual, durable fabric and make sure it's big enough to hold your towels, sunscreen, and other necessities. We especially love this denim version by Lands' End, which tops our list for numerous reasons: it's spacious, reasonably priced, and sturdy enough to last for many years to come--plus it's still totally stylish! Simply put on your swimsuit and white shorts and stash the rest in this bag for a fuss-free, sun-filled day!
Bold Turquoise Necklace/ Kenneth Jay Lane 22-Karat Gold-Plated Sodalite Necklace ($80, 877.953.5264)
When the weather gets hot, we tend to steer clear of fussy ensembles in favor of easy-to-assemble outfits. That said, one of our favorite styling tricks is adding one bold accent to a minimalist look to take it from boring to stellar in no time! A turquoise necklace is an excellent choice in this case, and we're particularly fond of this Southwestern-meets-tribal-inspired version by Kenneth Jay Lane. Pair this standout bauble with a LWD for a go-anywhere look perfect for a BBQ or any summer fete!
Baja Outerwear/ Ecote Nomad Stripe Hoodie ($49) in Neutral Multi
While we typically reserve hoodies for lazy days at home, we actually think a chic pullover can be a great beach cover-up. Case in point: this striped version by Ecote! With its bold striped print, boxy silhouette, and cool surfer vibe, this outerwear option is a real winner in our books. The perfect complement to tousled, just-got-out-of-the-ocean hair and an itty-bitty bikini, this pullover should definitely be included in your beach bag essentials!
Perfect Hat/ Patricia Underwood Tibbett Hat ($395, 310.860.0123) in Wheat
Basking in the summer sun may be the ultimate luxury, but it definitely comes with a price: sunburns! You'll need something to shield your face from the sun's harsh rays, and a stylish straw hat fits the bill perfectly. We think this one by Patricia Underwood is a particularly versatile option, thanks to its classic shape and simplistic design. You can wear this chic topper with literally anything, from floral dresses to denim cutoffs, for the perfect warm-weather look. We're so crazy about this hat, we think that it'll be hard to take off--even when the sun goes down! If you're in the market for a less expensive option, we've got you covered there too. We suggest snagging either ASOS' Seeberger Straw Belted Trilby ($34) or Delia's Fedora Hat ($20) before the season's over!
Flat Leather Sandals/ Pour La Victoire Macbeth Flat Sandals ($194) in Black
One thing that's definitely synonymous with summer style is a pair of flat sandals--and for good reason! They're comfortable, easy to wear, and are appropriate for the beach or the boardwalk. However, that doesn't mean you should resort to your old rubber flip-flops; we suggest reaching for more sophisticated leather sandals like the Macbeth Flat Sandals by Pour La Victoire. We're smitten with the thick, criss-cross ankle straps, which would ground a floaty sundress and make for one stylish and foolproof ensemble! As much as we love this pair, we also think Ecote's Toehold Simple Gladiator Sandal ($34) and Topshop's Fabio White Buckle Cuff Sandals ($85) are spot-on alternatives.
Bright Swimwear/ Eres Mouna Top ($125, 561.655.1660) and Obscur Bottom ($150, 561.655.1660) in Pomme
It's no secret that this season is all about bold color, so why not translate this trend via your swimwear? If you're still searching for a fantastic bright suit, you simply can't go wrong with an Eres version. Famed for its superior quality and timeless designs, the iconic Parisian brand is an investment that you won't regret! We're highlighting this particular option because of its look-at-me Kelly green color and classic shape, which makes for one undeniably fashionable suit. But if this splurge isn't in your budget, no need to fret because we think Victoria's Secret's Abbie Sliding Triangle Top ($18) and Matching Bottoms ($16) in Bright Green as well as American Apparel's Nylon Tricot Triangle Bikini Top ($25) and Flat Low-Waist Bikini Bottom ($25) in Serpent are also worthy options!
Khaki Sunglasses/ Pixie Market Cat-Eye Sunglasses ($18) in Caramel
We love experimenting with sunglasses in different colors and shapes, so we've definitely been on the lookout for a fresh new pair to add to our collections this season. We didn't have to look very long, however, thanks to these shades by Pixie Market! The tan frames are a very welcome change from our beloved tortoise shell and black sunnies. In addition, the cat-eye shape gives it a cool retro vibe that will instantly enliven any outfit! We'd also like to point out the wallet-friendly price, which makes us want to grab a pair pronto (not that we actually needed another reason!)--Erin Fitzpatrick

OGDENSBURG Michael Rory Spellmans last stay in the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center was about a year ago. He is doing well on his own now, but knows he probably will need inpatient mental health care again.
What the 53-year-old Ogdensburg resident with schizoaffective disorder doesnt know is how he will fare if he has to seek that psychiatric care in Syracuse.
There, he fears, he and others could be dumped into a harsh street reality that is a different world from the relative safety of Ogdensburg.
What would be next if I was transferred from St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center to Syracuse? If I was discharged, would heroin or crack cocaine be waiting outside the door for me? he said Thursday.
Mr. Spellman said he and many other mental health clients are worried about their future care under the state Office of Mental Healths plans to move inpatient treatment out of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center.
OMH has proposed sweeping changes to its mental health delivery system that officials have said will move care away from outdated reliance on inpatient treatment and toward community support to help those with mental illness live independently. The move is driven, in part, by care delivery changes called for by the federal Affordable Care Act to better coordinate mental health care with medical care.
Under the states plan, children and youth services will be moved to Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center in Utica, and adult services will be moved to Hutchings Psychiatric Center in Syracuse. The two centers will merge under the umbrella of the Empire Upstate Regional Center of Excellence, which also will absorb the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center.
Mr. Spellman said he especially worries about children and youths who are discharged from the Utica hospital into intermediate care before coming home.
What do they plan on doing with youth in Utica? Have them get discharged into a bad neighborhood where they will get on crack or get shot? he said.
Mr. Spellman was first diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia at age 22. He is an Army veteran who served in 1978. His first stay at the Ogdensburg psychiatric hospital was in 1981.
Ive been in and out most of my life, and while I was there, I received good, proper nutrition, good therapeutic value and was well treated, he said. All the therapy aides, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses and maintenance men are very professional, very well trained and very friendly toward the patients compared to the other inpatient facilities I was in such as Hutchings and Middletown. Theyre bigger, and theres more violence and lack of care compared to St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center.
Mr. Spellman said he is thankful to have support from the Ogdensburg Wellness Center and family members who live in Plattsburgh. During his inpatient stays, he said, his family played a major role in keeping his spirits up and getting him back on the road to independence. He said they were able to see him often and could check him out of the hospital occasionally on weekend passes.
If he is admitted for inpatient care in Syracuse, he said, traveling from Plattsburgh would be a burden on his family. They might not be able to see him as much as a result.
I am worried not just for me, but for everybody, he said.
He said he remembers back when the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center had direct employment and enrichment programs such as its greenhouse program. It also used to have a farm that patients helped maintain. Those programs helped tremendously in recovery, he said.
They need to rebuild the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center, Mr. Spellman said. They could get back to some of the old ways with flower shops and gardens. They could be cooperative with Governor Andrew Cuomo on what they think they should be paid. Why lay off 525 qualified people to supervise patients who could improve themselves and be paid, and then be put into community residences or homes?
It is difficult for him to make sense of the states plans. Without the care he received at the Ogdensburg hospital, he said, he would have been dead at 23.
I am now 53 years old, drug-free, alcohol-free and happy, he said. St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center is known as one of the best psychiatric centers in the U.S. If they must make layoffs, why not do it in Albany or Syracuse, where they are making more money?
He said he would be glad to share his story with anyone who will listen in hopes of getting state officials to change their minds.
A lot of improvement could be made there [at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center] if Governor Cuomo and the Office of Mental Health will listen, he said.

o The Fun Club Rewards program is launched, giving players a chance to earn point to redeem for prizes based on scratch-off ticket purchases. The program also eliminates the old Final Top Prize program, as all tickets entered for points are also entered into a second-chance drawing.
o The KLC board of directors passed a motion to "direct the staff of the Lottery to undertake all necessary measures required to offer Keno as a new game and Internet-based sales as a new sales medium as expeditiously and reasonably as possible".
o Several record-breaking accomplishments for FY13 were announced. The KLC finished the year with sales of $846.6 million (including $35.8 million in free tickets). This broke the old sales record established in FY12 of $823.5 million by 2.8%. These sales also led to record-breaking proceeds returned to the Commonwealth. A total of $223.8 million was earned for scholarship and grants programs funded by the Kentucky Lottery, breaking the old record set in FY12 of $216.4 million. In addition, even though sales rose by more than $23 million, operating expenses for the year ($26.4 million) were actually $800,000 lower than FY12's.
o The KLC marks $2,000,000,000 in college scholarships and grants awarded by Lottery proceeds.
o Keno launches at 400 retail locations around the Commonwealth.
o The KLC reaches several major milestones this month, including $4 billion in proceeds earned for the Commonwealth, $9 billion in prizes paid to players, and $15 billion in overall sales.

As we write this, the 2004 presidential election is just a little over a week away. Roughly five months ago, on Saturday, June 5, 2004, former U.S. president Ronald Reagan succumbed to Alzheimer's, after a ten-year-long battle with the disease. On Sunday, October 10, 2004, quadraplegic actor Christopher Reeve died as a result of cardiac arrest. Both of these sad events have heightened the hype around stem-cell research in America.
On Tuesday, July 27, 2004, Ron Reagan, the Republican president's youngest son and namesake, spoke at the Democratic National Convention and during his speech, advocated research using embryonic stem cells (something to which is father was vehemently opposed). Reagan Jr. "tugged at the heart strings" when he painted a picture that envisioned a Parkinson's disease patient being cured as the result of stem-cell research. He discussed the potential of using a patient's own skin cells—plus a donor egg—to produce neural cells that would be injected into the brain, called it a "personal biological repair kit," and labeled it "the future of medicine," telling those in attendance that stem-cell research could lead to "the greatest medical breakthrough in our or in any lifetime" ("Reagan Calls for…," 2004).
Advance several months. On Monday, October 11, 2004, one day after Christopher Reeve died, U.S. senator John Edwards, the vice-presidential running mate of Democratic presidential hopeful, senator John Kerry, said in regard to Reeve's untimely death: "If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again" (see "Frist Knocks Edwards…," 2004).
It is statements like these—from people as prominent as Reagan and Edwards—that have resulted in what Newsweek magazine called (on the front cover of its October 25, 2004 issue) "The Battle Over Stem Cells." And there is more. On election day, Tuesday, November 4, voters in California will go to the polls not just to cast their vote for a U.S. president, but also to determine whether or not they will approve a $3 billion bond issue being proposed by their new governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to fund embryonic stem-cell research in California (Schwarzenegger himself is a strong supporter of embryonic stem-cell research; see "Schwarzenegger Backs Stem-cell Plan," 2004; Kalb and Rosenberg, 2004, 144[17]:47). Add to that the fact that in mid-October 2004, Harvard researchers applied for university permission to clone human embryos in order to study models of a variety of human diseases (see Kalb and Rosenberg, p. 44), and it is little wonder that the two authors of the October 25, 2004 Newsweek cover-story article titled their piece "Stem-Cell Division."
"Division" indeed. There appears to be far too much hype, and not nearly enough good science, involved in this debate. That fact has not been lost on such people as Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist (a heart surgeon, and the only medical doctor in the Senate), who responded to John Edwards' comments that "people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again" with appropriate ire when he said:
I find it opportunistic to use the death of someone like Christopher Reeve—I think it is shameful—in order to mislead the American people. We should be offering people hope, but neither physicians, scientists, public servants or trial lawyers like John Edwards should be offering hype. It is cruel to people who have disabilities and chronic diseases, and, on top of that, it's dishonest. It's giving false hope to people, and I can tell you as a physician who's treated scores of thousands of patients that you don't give them false hope ("First Knocks Edwards…," 2004).
I find it opportunistic to use the death of someone like Christopher Reeve—I think it is shameful—in order to mislead the American people. We should be offering people hope, but neither physicians, scientists, public servants or trial lawyers like John Edwards should be offering hype.

It's giving false hope to people, and I can tell you as a physician who's treated scores of thousands of patients that you don't give them false hope ("First Knocks Edwards…," 2004).
We couldn't agree more. Such statements as those by senator Edwards are indeed "opportunistic," and they do "offer false hope." And so are statements like those of Ron Reagan Jr. As Kalb and Rosenberg admitted in their Newsweek article, "Not a single person has yet been cured by embryonic stem cells" (p. 46).
But there is more to it than that. The truth is: the studies performed thus far using embyronic stem cells on human subjects have done more harm than good! If people like Reagan, Edwards, Kerry, and Schwarzenegger are really interested in promoting human welfare, as they claim, and not just in promoting/sustaining/defending their personal pro-choice agendas, then why don't they take a long, hard look at the scientific information? If you really want to cure people like Christopher Reeve, why not look at the scientific studies that have been peer reviewed and printed in reputable scientific journals? If you do, do you know what you will find? You will find something that most media outlets apparently do not want you to know, but something that many scientists have already admitted: adult stem cells work better than their embryonic counterparts! And, as those of us at Apologetics Press have repeatedly pointed out (http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/2512), the destruction of human embryos for this type of research is a dangerous "slippery slope" that science dare not tread—even when there seems to be good reason to do so. Why? Because the wanton destruction of human life is wrong!
Furthermore, as we reported in the "In the News" section of our Web site for the week of July 26-August 1, 2004 (in an article titled "Stem Cells May not be the Ultimate Cure-All"), research at the Oregon Health and Science University defies the long-held assumption that stem cells are responsible for repairing diseased tissue. Holger Willenbring and colleagues found that macrophages (white blood cells that act as phagocytes to ingest foreign particles) "derived from bone marrow stem cells, and not bone marrow stem cells themselves, are what fused with diseased liver cells, ultimately curing a genetic liver disease" (as quoted in Science Daily, 2004, p. 1). In fact, Willenbring was not sure that stem cells did anything in the cells he and his coworkers evaluated. This landmark discovery was reported in the July issue of Nature Medicine (see Willenbring, et al., 2004).
But by all means, do not take our word for all of this. Instead, click on the following link ("Presidential Elections, Superman, Embryonic Stem Cells, Bad Science, and False Hope"), which will take you to an article that we have authored, examining this very point. Interestingly, the bulk of the article is nothing more than synopses from scientific journals, outlining the various stem-cell studies that have been carried out so far. We think you will be fascinated, and possibly shocked, by what you find.

Video: Taglianetti Pleads Not Guilty, Midday Report
Video: Taglianetti Returned to WNY to Face Murder Charges
MAYVILLE, NY - Anthony Robert Taglianetti, accused of gunning down a Southern Tier school superintendent in September, pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder in Chautauqua County Court Wednesday morning.
The judge in the case set bail at $2.5 million dollars or a $5 million bond. The court appearance lasted less than five minutes.
A pre-motion conference has been scheduled for January 28, 2013.
2 On Your Side's Heather Ly was in court Wednesday. She says the defense attorney expressed doubt that Taglianetti could receive a fair trial due to the high-profile, emotionally charged nature of the case. He said he was also concerned that the district attorney may have biased the case by discussing alleged facts with the media and requesting a high bail, saying "my client was not on the run."
Police believe Taglianetti fatally shot Clymer Central Schools Superintendent Keith Reed, Jr. outside Reed's home. They say Reed had a relationship with Taglianetti's estranged wife which precipitated the alleged murder.
Taglianetti was arrested in Virginia days after the killing and was extradited to Chautauqua County Tuesday.
The brother of Keith Reed was present in court on Wednesday but did not speak with reporters, at the request of the District Attorney.

About half-way through the summer I was offered a paid position as the Calendar Editor. Working on the calendar wasn't easy. It took 6 hours at least, and usually more, just to get all the calendar entries in order for the graphic designers to format them.
Most beneficial aspect of being enrolled in the co-op program?
The extra responsibility and extra reward of being offered the position of Calendar Editor was my favorite part of the internship. I felt like a real part of the office team. Working for City Paper helped me figure out what I liked and didn't like about desk jobs and reporting. I learned I liked the camaraderie of the office, seeing my name in print, and talking to enthusiastic people about their passions, and getting their news to a wider audience. I would definitely recommend an internship to anyone who has a vague idea of what they want to do after college. It can even lead to a real, paying job. I still write stories for City Paper every now and then, working as an independent stringer.

Former East Carbon residents, Jim Padgett Sr. and Jr., recently captured the world championship in cutter and chariot racing. The event was held March 31 in Ogden with teams from across the world competing. Padgett racing took home the title after winning the first division with the fastest time of the day. The five day event proved to be successful for the Padgett's who have been working toward this dream for years.
"This is the greatest thing in the world," explained an excited Jim Padgett Jr. "My dad has been here every year since 1976 trying to win the 'big' one. We bought these horses three years ago to do just what we die, win!"
Chariot racing and training flat track race horses have been a part of the elder Padgett's life. The sport in which the family loves so much has become a way of life for the championship team. In fact, even the horses are world champions. The two horses, Niftyanthrifty and Apologist were awarded the High Point Champion Aged Gelding Chariot Horse award given by the American Quarter Horse Association.
What once was only a dream, has become a reality for two former Carbon County residents.

Real Salt Lake registered its first ever win in Texas last summer, when the team overcame the absence of four key players due to international duty to win 3-0 at FC Dallas on July 13, 2013.
Despite playing without Gold Cup participants Captain Kyle Beckerman, goalkeeper Nick Rimando, forward Alvaro Saborio and defender Tony Beltran, RSL still romped over FCD, getting a spectacular one goal, two assist performance from midfielder Javier Morales and tallies from Ned Grabavoy and Olmes Garcia to beat Dallas 3-0. The win was RSL's 100th in regular season play and the team's first in 23 matches in the Lone Star State. The match also marked Jeff Attinella's debut, with the then-third-string 'keeper coming on for an injured Josh Saunders, who suffered a torn ACL in the game.
RSL will again be without Beckerman, Rimando and Saborio this Saturday, when the Claret-and-Cobalt will host FC Dallas at 7:30 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium. Check out the highlights of last July's win before Saturday's match, and let's hope for a similar result this weekend.
RSL defender Chris Wingert was last week's guest at Real Salt Lake's Friday Fan Forum. The New York native dishes on his childhood, how he got to RSL and trying to beat fellow defender Tony Beltran in a beep test. Get to know the Claret-and-Cobalt veteran a bit better by checking out his answers below.
And make sure to make it to this Friday's Fan Forum with RSL midfielder Cole Grossman. Friday Fan Forums take place after practice at Rio Tinto Stadium. Practice will start at 11:00 a.m. and normally lasts an hour, but the end time may vary.
Chris Wingert Fan Forum
I used to practice a lot with my dad at home. He'd take me out the majority of days that I didn't have team practice or a game when I was young. He was always asking me to go out and train and I can remember up until about 9th grade sometimes I would resist a little bit and it was always us trying to find a balance between pushing without pushing too much. He was always supportive. Once I got into 10th grade I was really focused on trying to make the youth national team and I started asking my dad to go out and train. To this day I don't think he's ever said no to me.
I get nervous before every game. There are obviously different levels of anxiety and being nervous. But I think a little bit of that is good and usually once you are in the game you are able to focus and when you're in a sport like soccer, you're able to run around a little bit and some of the nerves go away. My college coach used to tell me that if you can just win a ball right away that it will get rid of your nerves a little bit, and I thought that has always helped – whether it's to win a header or tackle or just get on the ball right away. In general it's ok to do things with fear, it's ok to have fear in anything in life. You can still go out and try to accomplish your goal.
I'm from Long Island, NY. It's far, far away from here; greatest place on earth. I'm a little biased though.
I don't know if I hate facing anybody, but in terms of who gives us problems and is just a real concern for us, I would say Robbie Keane. I think he's probably the best around and just a really sharp guy in the box and we have to be wary of where he is.
My favorite food is New York pizza. I try not to eat too much pizza when I'm out here or anywhere really, but when I'm at home I can't help it. A lot of carbs: pizza, bagels, egg sandwiches; that's my go to when I'm at home with my family in New York.
We've had a lot of good games over the years. Certainly the Championship in 2009 was a great one. One of my favorites for sure was beating LA Galaxy here because it was at home – that was one of the highlights of my career.
We spend a limited amount of time worrying about our opponents. We'll have a meeting in a little while and scout the team a little bit. We'll try and talk about what formation they could possibly play and what their lineup might look like and go over some tendencies. As a defender, I definitely try and study a few things about the right-midfielder or right-winger that I might match up against the following day. But the majority of the time during the week is spent working on ourselves and worrying about us.
Tony [Beltran] covers a lot more ground than me, he makes me look bad. I'll tell you a funny story. Tony went to St. Johns too, just for a year and I had already left. We would always have to go and run three miles in 18 minutes, it was our big test in the beginning of the year. It was incredibly hard to do and even if I was in the middle of the season here I don't think too many guys could make that run. I was home a couple weeks ago and our college coach said, "Yeah, Beltran had the audacity to come in here and run a three-mile, 17 minutes." That is unheard of because it's like three 5:20 miles in row. We always do the beep test and a couple years ago I worked my butt off and I was living in Park City at altitude and I was going to try and win the beep test. Tony was coming off surgery and so he hadn't really worked out at all. The two of us were left at the end and I was working so hard but he just waited till I finished and then he ran one more so he could beat me.
I've been so blessed and fortunate for things to turn out the way they did. I got released from Colorado [Rapids] and was heading to LA to sign with them. Their right-back Chris Albright had torn his ACL and they needed somebody, so I was headed out there. Robin Fraser, who's our old assistant coach, called me and we were really close. Robin asked me, "Would you rather come to RSL?" I heard a lot of good things about Jason Kreis so I obviously ended up coming here. Even though they were record-wise the worst team in the league at the time and people were calling me crazy for not going out to LA (Beckham was arriving the same day); I had a feeling that Jason, Robin, and all the staff were going to turn things around. I wanted to be somewhere for a long time and Jason told me that that place was here. He told me, "Come here and we'll be successful and we'll turn things around." He did. Fortunately for me, my best friend, our captain, and one of our best players in the history of this franchise got traded here three days later which was complete coincidence.
When we win I have a lot of fun at games. Nah, I'm always having fun. I love the game. Of course it's disappointing if we're not getting the result we want, sometimes that stuff happens. I try not to let if affect me as much as it does. I wish it didn't have such an effect on my mentality that next week but we appreciate when you guys come out. When we're playing in front of 20,000 screaming fans that is a dream come true. I'm having a lot of fun doing what I'm doing and I'm going to try and do it as long as I can.
I think Germany will win the World Cup. I don't want them to win – obviously, I'd love the US to win and go as far as possible. I usually end up rooting for England and Holland a little bit, but if I had to put some money on it I'd bet on Germany.
Could we see a bald Jeff Cassar this fall?
If RSL makes the MLS Cup Playoffs, we just might.
The RSL boss told the guys from Extra Time Radio on Monday that he and follicly challenged RSL Goalkeeper Coach Daryl Shore made a bet a couple months back that should RSL qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs, Cassar will shave his head.
That could lead to a bit of symmetry on the RSL bench, as Cassar is currently the only member of RSL's coaching staff with any amount of hair; Shore and fellow assistants Andy Williams, Craig Waibel and Paul Dalglish are all bald or sport a shaved look. It should be noted that RSL Strength and Conditioning Coach Dan Barlow has a nice head of hair.
"I wanted to have the best hair on the staff, so I set the bar really low," Cassar joked during his ExtraTime interview. "But I made a bet with Daryl Shore, one of my assistant coaches, that if we make the playoffs I'm going to shave my head."
We've got a preview of what Cassar could look like with a shaved head above. Gotta say, don't think bald is Jeff's best look.
Another week, another slew of postgame interviews from ABC 4's Real Sports Live.
RSL commentators Bill Riley and Brian Dunseth sat down with three RSL players after Saturday's 2-1 win over Colorado, chatting up goal scorer Javier Morales, goalkeeper Jeff Attinella and midfielder Cole Grossman for interviews that aired on Sunday night's show.
Check out Bill and Dunny's sit downs with the RSL trio below.

Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids will kick off the 2014 Rocky Mountain Cup on Saturday, with the Claret-and-Cobalt hosting the rival Rapids at 7:30 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Here are a few storylines to watch ahead of the match:
How will RSL fare in first match without Beckerman, Rimando and Saborio?
We all knew it was coming, but that doesn't mean that the absences of RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman, goalkeeper Nick Rimando and forward Alvaro Saborio due to World Cup duty will be any easier for the Claret-and-Cobalt to deal with this weekend. Saturday's match will be RSL's first without the trio, which departed on Wednesday for pre-World Cup camps with their national teams. Expect Jeff Attinella to fill-in for Rimando, Cole Grossman to step-in for Beckerman and either Devon Sandoval or Olmes Garcia to start for Saborio on Saturday.
Can RSL get off to a good start as it looks to reclaim the Rocky Mountain Cup?
Prior to 2013, the last time RSL lost a Rocky Mountain Cup, Rio Tinto Stadium hadn't opened, a band called Hinder was near the top of the charts and Kyle Beckerman and Chris Wingert were members of the Rapids. 2006: Heady days. Real Salt Lake ripped off a run of six-straight Rocky Mountain Cups following that year, winning the trophy every year from 2007-2012. Colorado won the trophy back last year, with RSL posting a 0-1-2 record to cede the trophy to the east side of the Rockies. The Claret-and-Cobalt will want to keep the Cup's stay in Colorado short, and can get off to a great start in the 2014 RMC with a win on Saturday.
Will home dominance continue in Rocky Mountain Cup?
The home team has historically dominated in Rocky Mountain Cup play, posting a 14-5-9 record over the visiting team in 28 RMC games. That dominance has been even more pronounced in recent years, with the home team not losing a game in the last 14 Rocky Mountain Cup matches, a streak that dates all the way back to RSL's 1-0 win at Colorado on Oct. 20, 2007.
Battle of first-year head coaches
Saturday's match will pit two first-year coaches against each other in RSL's Jeff Cassar and Colorado's Pablo Mastroeni. Cassar has gotten his career off to a sparkling start, posting an unbeaten 5-0-5 record through his first 10 games as Claret-and-Cobalt manager. That's the second-longest unbeaten run to start a MLS coaching career in league history. Mastroeni's start has been solid, if not as strong, with the former U.S. Men's National Team stalwart guiding the Rapids to a 4-3-3 mark through its first 10 matches.
Find out how MLSsoccer.com's Matt Doyle and Dan Haiek see Saturday's Rocky Mountain Cup first leg unfolding. Give their Scouting Report preview a watch above.
Real Salt Lake lost its first Rocky Mountain Cup since 2006 last year, posting a 0-1-2 record against the rival Rapids to cede the trophy after holding it for six-consecutive seasons.
After going 0-1-1 against Colorado in the first two matches of last year's competitions, RSL had a chance to keep the Rocky Mountain Cup with a win at the Rapids in the 2013 RMC finale on Aug. 3, 2013. Unfortunately, the Claret-and-Cobalt couldn't quite pull it off, taking a 2-1 first half lead before allowing a 70th minute equalizer to draw 2-2 – and lose the RMC – in a lightning-delayed match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
RSL will start its campaign to bring the RMC back to the Wasatch Front on Saturday, when it will host Colorado at 7:30 p.m. MT. Check out the highlights from last year's RMC finale above and make sure you bring it on Saturday. Let's make sure we bring the Rocky Mountain Cup back to its true home here in Salt Lake.
Men In Blazers' man Roger Bennett's love affair with RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman just keeps on marching on.
We touched a bit on this last week, but wanted to highlight Bennett – who is co-directing ESPN's six-part documentary series on the USMNT that will begin tonight – talking about Kyle last night on ESPN2 show "Olbermann."
Video above (the Kyle bit starts around the 2:20 mark, but watch the whole thing, trust us) and quote below:
"Kyle, I love Kyle. I wrote a piece about a year ago called "All Hail Kyle Beckerman," Bennett said of Beckerman, who – along with RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando – was called into the U.S.'s 30-man preliminary World Cup squad yesterday. "To me he's the perfect U.S. footballer. He's very technical, very tactical and deeply underappreciated. He makes everybody around him play better, and he cares about everybody else on the field. His whole goal is to make the attackers attack better, the defenders defend better and it's that sense of sacrifice and love and joy from the game that you get from Kyle."
"But spending time with that bloke, you only get to love him even more…. Here's the joy of Kyle, I'd say he's one of the emotional heartbeats of this team, he's in his 30's, he's never made a U.S. [World Cup] squad, he's been a seven-time MLS All-Star, he dropped off the squad really under Bob Bradley and Klinsmann's pulled him back. Since he was eight he's always signed his name "Kyle Beckerman: No. 15 USA," even in notes to his mother. It'd be, "Mum, I've gone to the supermarket, I'll be back in 20 minutes, Kyle Beckerman USA No. 15." And he's on the brink of making that childhood dream come true."

Trying to read the section on Poincare duality from Griffiths and Harris is a nightmare. I want to know if there is a place where Poincare duality and intersection theory are done cleanly and rigorously in the order that GH do them (usually, one proves Poincare duality for singular cohomology and then defines the intersection pairing by cup product and proves that (using the Thom isomorphism) that indeed the intersection pairing counts the number of points taken with sign (and convert everything to forms using De Rham's theorem). GH on the other hand define intersection pairing and then proceed further. However, one has to wave their hands at relativistic speeds to make some things work here).
Poincare duality is very clearly treated, with real coefficients, via de Rham cohomology, in Spivak's Differential geometry vol. 1, the idea of using open covers with contractible intersections, anticipating sheaf theory,, apparently being due to Weil; and also in Bott - Tu's Differential forms in algebraic topology. Both are recommended.
It is also treated over arbitrary coefficient domains in the appendix to Milnor and Stasheff's Characteristic classes. Anything by Milnor is recommended.
If you just visualize a polyhedron, and its first barycentric subdivision, i.e. placing a new vertex in the center of every face, and forming a new face from the union of all new subtriangles adjacent to a given vertex, you may see the duality arising from a triangulation of a manifold. Thus the theorem is a "obvious" generalization of the duality of the Platonic solids.
The simplest argument I ever heard was in a conversation between John Morgan and Simon Donaldson, at Bob Friedman's house. John said he had a simple proof of Poincare duality using Morse functions, and Simon replied, while turning his hands over, "of course you just turn the Morse function upside down".
If you read the description of the homotopy type of a CW complex in terms of the critical points of Morse functions, say in Milnor's notes on Morse theory, you will learn that a single d cell is added each time we pass a critical point of index d. Since turning a function upside down changes a critical point of index d into one of index n-d, where n is the dimension, we are "done", (modulo the non trivial question of tracing the boundary operators, as noted by a comment below).
I have not read Milnor's notes on the h cobordism theorem, so I do no know if this is the same proof given there, but it is a book on applications of Morse theory. I would suggest the moral is that a young man could do worse than to learn Morse theory.
I first learned Poincare duality from Milnor's "Lectures on the h-cobordism theorem," published in the Princeton yellow series. It will seem a little old now adays, but it develops the Morse theory from the point of view of geodesic flows, and it was a very intuitive approach for a beginning graduate student.
Goresky-Macpherson's first paper on intersection homology ("Intersection Homology Theory", Topology vol. 19) treats intersection pairings and Poincare duality in that order. Of course, they are working with more general spaces than manifolds, but from the intersection pairing perspective on homology I think their paper is written at a natural level of generality, so you might well find it useful.

For Libraries & Educators
Regional Libraries
Tennessee's Regional Library System has been in existence since 1939. Its mission is:
The Regional Library System is composed of nine multi-county regions serving 211 small and medium-sized public libraries throughout the state of Tennessee. Membership in the Regional Library System is voluntary. The four metropolitan library systems (Memphis Public Library, Knox County Library, Nashville Public Library, and the Chattanooga- Hamilton County Bicentennial Public Library) are considered single-county regions.
State assistance received by local public libraries through the Regional Library System is intended to supplement local appropriations as required in the establishment of public libraries by the Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 10, Chapter 3. In return for State assistance, each public library desiring to belong to the Multi-County Regional system must maintain "the allocation of locally appropriated funds at a level not less than the amount appropriated the last fiscal year as well as the expenditure of locally appropriated funds at a level not less than the total amount expended in the last fiscal year." Annual Maintenance of Effort agreements between the State Library and Archives and local cities and counties make certain that State funding does not supplant the fiscal responsibility of local governments on behalf of their public libraries.

I've Just Been Told I Have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Leukemia is a cancer of the blood-forming cells. It begins in your bone marrow, which is the spongy substance inside your bones that makes blood cells. In leukemia, the cancer spreads from the bone marrow to the blood and, over time, to other organs and parts of the body. Leukemia is not a single disease. It is complex, consisting of several types and subtypes, each with a different treatment plan and prognosis. The type you have, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, is a slowly growing type that affects white blood cells called lymphocytes. Two types of CLL have been identified, one of which grows faster than the other.
Your doctor was able to tell that you have leukemia by blood tests and/or a bone marrow biopsy. In addition to finding out the type of leukemia you have, these tests can also show how far the disease has progressed, which is called the stage.
The good news is that more treatment options exist than ever before. That means there is more hope of successfully treating leukemia.
To decide the best course of treatment for you, your health care team needs to know as much as they can about your leukemia. This may involve having additional testing and working with more than one doctor or other type of health care professional.
Your health care team will likely include an oncologist, an oncology nurse, and a hematologist. They will answer any questions you may have and help you through each of the steps you will take before, during, and after treatment. Your team will let you know what tests you need and the results of those tests. They'll guide you in making treatment decisions.
The decision to treat CLL is complex. For this reason, it's best to find a doctor who is experienced in caring for people with this disease. Many people with CLL may not need any form of treatment for months or years after they are diagnosed. If you do need treatment, you will have time to first have any other necessary tests. You also have time to talk with your doctor about treatment choices, get a second opinion, decide about treatment, and prepare yourself and your loved ones.

ObamaCare's employer mandate is supposed to guarantee that every working American is able to obtain health insurance through his employer. But according to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), an organization representing 350,000 small-business owners, the mandate may end up being the ruin of employer-sponsored health insurance and will almost certainly be detrimental to employers and employees alike.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires businesses with 50 or more full-time employees — with "full time" defined as working at least 30 hours per week — to offer "affordable" health insurance to those employees. Insurance is deemed affordable if it costs an employee no more than 9.5 percent of his total household income.
If an employee finds that his employer-sponsored insurance is unaffordable as defined by law, he may decline to participate in it and instead obtain insurance on a state insurance exchange, where, depending on his income level, his premiums may be subsidized by the government. (Having no insurance, of course, is not an option in the "land of the free": Uninsured individuals face a tax penalty of $695 or 2.5 percent of their income, whichever is higher.) For every one of his employees who turns down "unaffordable" employer-sponsored insurance in favor of insurance on an exchange, an employer will be fined up to $3,000.
Among the many complications introduced by the PPACA, one major one, from an employer's perspective, is that definition of affordable insurance. "Typically," observed NFIB director of federal public policy Amanda Austin, "employers do not have access to what employees' total household income looks like."
How, then, will they be able to ensure that they are offering insurance that does not set their employees back more than 9.5 percent of that income? "Employers will now be forced to either snoop around employees' household income or go in blind and hope for the best," Austin averred.

@SimcySLO As of right now, there are no server transfers but who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future, they release a server transfer item in the item mall for like $40. The only bard that I know is a friend of mine but I'll have to wait till the afternoon for her to go online.
I'm done with this game. Five "good" reasons, if you wanted them:
* AFK System
* Can't unequip Starter Eidolon for another Eidolon. (Just instance the starter per character, it shouldn't be too hard since some eidolons can be wiped, but others not due to a server issue.)
* The Ostrich Mount can't be removed, stored, NPC'd, etc. Unlike some other MMORPGs, where the starter mount usually can be removed/stored, etc.
* The cash shop direction, and the patches/content being added indicate that Aura Kingdom May not last, among the whole fortification issue, etc. (With blues vs. greens. And how vague the descriptions are on the in-game non-cash shop versions are.)
* People "Stealing" your cooking quest things (IE: Golden Radish, etc.)

Tuberculosis and gender
In most of the world, more men than women are diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) and die from it. TB is nevertheless a leading infectious cause of death among women. Annually, about 700 000 women die of TB, and over three million contract the disease, accounting for about 17 million Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY). As tuberculosis affects women mainly in their economically and reproductively active years, the impact of the disease is also strongly felt by their children and families. The mortality, incidence, and DALY indicators do not reflect this hidden burden of social impact.

Finding out that a loved one has cancer can be very scary and confusing. When that loved one is your cat, it's important to keep in mind that different veterinarians might have different views on the best way to treat the disease. It's always a good idea to seek out a second opinion, perhaps from a veterinary oncologist, and carefully review your options.
What Is Cancer?
Cancer is a class of diseases in which cells grow uncontrollably, invade surrounding tissue and may spread to other areas of the body. As with people, cats can get various kinds of cancer. The disease can be localized (confined to one area, like a tumor) or generalized (spread throughout the body).
What Causes Cancer?
Cancer is a "multifactorial" disease, which means it has no known single cause. However, we do know that both hereditary and environmental factors can lead to the development of cancer in cats. For example, squamous cell carcinoma of the ear, eyelid or nose is a skin cancer caused by repeated exposure to the sun.
Lymphosarcoma, a highly malignant cancer of the lymph system and the most common type of cancer in cats, can be caused by the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). FeLV is a transmittable retrovirus that can be passed in utero as well as through saliva and direct contact. Primarily a disease of younger cats, the virus doesn't always manifest symptoms, so it is important to have your cat tested regularly to prevent transmission and progression. There is a vaccine available for FeLV that your veterinarian can discuss with you based on your cat's lifestyle and risk of exposure to FeLV.
What Are the General Symptoms of Cancer?
Symptoms of cancer in cats may include:
- Lumps (which are not always malignant, but are always worth having a veterinarian examine)
- Swelling
- Persistent sores or skin infections
- Abnormal discharge from any part of the body
- Bad breath
- Listlessness, lethargy or other marked change in behavior
- Weight loss
- Sudden lameness
- Diarrhea or vomiting
- Scaly and/or red skin patches
- Decreased or loss of appetite
- Difficulty breathing, urinating or defecating
- Change in behavior
How Is Cancer Diagnosed?
If a lump is present, the first step is typically a needle biopsy, which removes a very small tissue sample for microscopic examination of cells. Alternately, surgery may be performed to remove all or part of the lump for diagnosis by a pathologist.
Radiographs, ultrasound, blood evaluation and other diagnostic tests may also be helpful in determining if cancer is present or if it has spread.
Which Cats Are Prone to Cancer?
Though cancer can be diagnosed in cats of all ages and breeds, it is much more common in older cats. Certain breeds are prone to specific cancers, but cats with white ears and heads are particularly susceptible to skin cancer. Ask your vet if your cat falls into specific at-risk categories.
How Can Cancer Be Prevented?
Keeping your cat indoors will protect her from certain skin cancers caused by repeated sun exposure and sunburn. Breast cancer is the third-most common cancer for cats, but it can be avoided by having your cat spayed before her first heat cycle.
How Is Cancer Treated?
Treatment options vary and depend on the type and stage of cancer. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy or a combination of therapies. Success of treatment depends on the form and extent of the cancer and the aggressiveness of the therapy. Of course, early detection is best.
Some cat owners opt for no treatment of the cancer, in which case palliative care, including pain relief, should be considered. Regardless of how you proceed after a diagnosis of cancer in your pet, it is very important to consider his quality of life when making future decisions.
Some cancers can be cured, and almost all patients can receive at least some benefit from treatment. Please note that if your cat's cancer is not curable, there are still many things you can do to make your pet feel better. Don't hesitate to talk to your vet about your options. And remember good nutrition and loving care can greatly enhance your cat's quality of life.
When Is It Time to See the Vet?
Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat shows any of the clinical signs mentioned on the list above. Should your cat receive a diagnosis of cancer, you may wish to consult a veterinary oncologist, often employed by specialty veterinary practices and teaching hospitals.

DENVER (MarketWatch) — Economics policy guru Robert J. Shapiro walked into the White House in 2010: "They said, 'We think we're really recovering.' And I said, "Don't believe it.'"
Extraordinary economic stimuli created the illusion of a recovery, he explained. Consumers and businesses were still loaded with debt and still reeling from losses after the 2008 financial crisis.
WSJ/NBC poll: Republican support fizzling

"Three times we've had the economy look like it's coming back and then it stalled out," Shapiro said in a telephone interview.
These disappointments came in 2010, 2011 and yet again in 2012, when the economy surprisingly contracted in the fourth quarter. Despite that downturn, there's even more talk of recovery in 2013, but this time Shapiro isn't shouting it down.
"I was a pessimist for years," he said. "Now, I'm an optimist."
Shapiro served as undersecretary of commerce for economic affairs under President Bill Clinton, and is now chairman of a private financial consultancy, Sonecon LLC. He's also an adviser to the International Monetary Fund and blogs about economic issues at www.sonecon.com. Read Shapiro's 'Dark Thoughts on the Coming Sequester'.
"The pieces for a recovery are in place," he said.
Let's see: Europe and Japan are in recession; China's growth is slowing; Washington is threatening a sequester showdown; Americans' paychecks just got smaller after a temporary cut in the payroll tax expired; taxes for the rich increased, too; Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, is warning of disappointing sales growth; we've just had one quarter of economic contraction. But Mr. Pessimist has now turned optimist?
Shapiro says the fourth-quarter shrinkage was a fluke, much of it due to a decline in defense spending, and he isn't alone in his outlook.
On Monday, the National Association for Business Economics released a survey of 49 other economists with the consensus view that the economy will grow 2.4% this year and 3% next year. It's not staggering growth, but it's not the recession scenario, either. Who knows? It may even create at least a few jobs.
Economists surveyed expect the unemployment rate to average 7.7% in 2013 and 7.2% in 2014. This, at least, is an improvement over 8.1% in 2012.
After four years of an on-again/off-again recovery, the big question that remains unanswered is: Can the economy genuinely recover by printing more money and lowering interest rates as the Federal Reserve has attempted?
"It hasn't worked ... yet," Shapiro concedes.
"We went through the worst financial crisis in over 85 years. We wiped out an enormous share of the personal wealth of the majority of Americans. You have to expect that it's not going to come back easily or quickly, and it hasn't."

When a dog is verbal on the line and barks on release, what can be done to improve this situation?
When a dog is verbal on the line and barks on release, what can be done to improve this situation?
Advice I received was to have really long marks so not as exciting to the dog and break the habit of the vocalization. Once you do that you should be
able to return to normal marks, but probably will still need to keep in some distance on some of the marks.
Hope this helps- it did work for my dog.

Another school of thought is to avoid any reinforcement AT ALL. Our training group has a high octane fire-breather who verbalizes badly. If she's allowed to get away with it, her line manners (such as they are) crash and burn. If she even squeeks walking from the holding blind she's heeled off the line and put up. Maybe 20 minutes later... they try her again. It's been the only thing that works.
I'm also studying Total Retriever Marking. In one demo Lardy is handling the dog who yips as he leaves the line. Lardy yells "NO! HERE! PICK UP THE BIRDS!" then grabs the dog's snout and wops him under the jaw a few times yelling "QUIET! QUIET!" Subsequently the dog was quiet.
Try this but if it has gone to far-it is difficult to work with.

I have noticed a couple of threads on vocal dogs. Check out what Gun_Dog2002 has to say on the issue by going to Black Ice Retrievers, his website. His advice looks really good. He also suggests looking for improvements in increments.
"I love the rod and gun and where they take me."
"Do not judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins."
Ask Roadkill!!
Depends why he's doing it... are you in force to pile and he's developed that reaction from being forced? Is he frustrated from being made to sit while the marks go down? The cause determines the solution.

How old is dog? A bark off the line can be common with a puppy, it usually goes away if you keep enforcing quite, nick. Still some dogs will give a single bark when released, if this is the only noise that comes from your dog, you might be beating your head against a wall to try and fix that. A single bark when released might be an annoyance but there are much bigger issues, as long as the dog isn't making noise any other time, when the birds are going down, all the way out to the bird, you've got vocal issue pretty well under control. Patience sometimes help with this; dog doesn't get to retrieve until she is quite, you wait her out before release. Or if the dog is barking all the way out to the bird, a soft nick quite nick quite can work, the sort of pressure you'd use when a pup runs a beach during shore breaking.

I do not use loadlin as I have moved away from Windoze. I use "lilo" and find it quite gratifying. I will respond as if using that mode:
1) If using lilo each hard drive(hd) is effectively a logical device. Simply partition the drives for your Linux features required (i.e. /, /boot, /root, /home, /opt, /var, /tmp, etc. plus of course swap (3x memory). Note which partition you will boot from. Lilo is quite capable of allowing you to move stuff about but the system must be re-installed to match physical and logical partitions.
2) I will defer on this one as I use the master boot block in the "WINDOZ" partition but I do know you can do it in a Linux partition (see "Running Linux" or "Linux Essential" I think both cover this).
3) Why limit yourself. I have between 9-12 different window managers I can use from a script I call "wm". Basically this script points to each window mgr startup script and dumps it to initrc then does a startx. Thus you boot to a text window do: ./wm select the mgr desired and stand back. An yes you can setup things to allow you ot boot directly to the win mgr of choice.
4) /var does NOT need to be a primary. My recollection is that SWAP does but that does not seem correct as one can have multiple partitions for swap. Check one of those sources I mentioned.
PS-- The only good Sys Admins on *nix keep lugubrious notes then wished they had made more.
