The launch event for the second edition of the European Social Innovation Competition - Milan, 11 October 2013
On May 29th, the award of the three prizes by President Barroso concluded a very successful first edition of this Competition (refresh your memory). Successful for more reasons than one – it rewarded the winning projects but it also supported many more applicants drawing attention on social innovation, including from private investors.
It is now time to open the second edition of the Competition. You are invited to participate in the launch event which will take place in Milan on 11 October, in partnership with the UniCredit Foundation.
The second edition will keep the same focus – how social innovation provides, directly or indirectly, solutions for jobs – and will remain open to individuals and organisations. It will still include a strong coaching component to help the best ideas become real projects.
Details will be presented on the day but you can already get prepared, spread the news and of course follow us on Twitter (@EUSocialInnov #diogochallenge).
What difference can social innovation make for jobs? What role can social innovation play in Italy? We will discuss those topics and we want to hear your views.

It looks like Apple is making some adjustments to its current product inventories in preparation for the upcoming launch of the 6thgeneration iPhone.
According to Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu in a note to investors, Apple has reduced iPhone orders by between 20% to 25% from the 35.1 million units the company shipped in the first quarter of this year. Wu now expects shipments of between 26 million and 28 million. With the estimated 8.6 million iPhones already in the pipeline, Apple will have an iPhone supply of between four and six weeks in inventory.
Leaving your valuable Apple iPhone 4S and iPad 3 devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags and sleeves for your iPad3 from top brands Be.ez, Incase, and Targus.
Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside our brand name iPhone 4S accessories including iPhone 4S cases and iPhone 4S covers accessories form : iSkin, Incipio, Incase, Puregear, Moshi, Griffin and iLuv combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
According to Wu, "From our understanding, the reason for the reduction is not demand related but rather due to the upcoming 6th generation iPhone refresh likely in the September-October timeframe. It appears that APPLE is opting to be conservative with its suppliers to factor in a potential 2-quarter pause ahead of the refresh and also to manage inventory. We believe this helps explain why its June quarter guidance was somewhat more conservative."
Wu also explained developments on the iPad front. He reported that Apple is finally increasing their new iPad build plans. Shipments of the device were previously held back due to the supply of its new Retina Display, and the situation has been "greatly improved with an additional supplier." Wu believes that this will help Apple to better meet strong demand for its iPad3.
Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and XMI Speakers all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
For the June quarter, Wu reduced his iPhone forecast from 28 million units to 27 million, and raised iPad shipment expectations from 14 million to 15 million units. Due to improved iPad profitability, Wu increased his gross margin assumption from 42.5% to 43.5% and forecasted $36.1 billion in revenue and $10.16 in EPS. He's keeping his Buy rating on shares of Apple stock, as well as his $780 price target.

Show by Wonder
Many performers use popular music to evoke a feeling of communal solidarity, but that sense of togetherness is almost always superficial. Stevie Wonder is an exception. Mr. Wonder has always been an inspirational performer, but within the last seven years he has emerged as something of a spiritual leader, singing and talking of peace and interracial love and of a humanist philosophy that he calls L.L.M.O., which stands for Letting Life Move On.October 20, 1983 artsReview

A little of this, a little of that …
You could say there was a heavy presence of local talent on this fall's men's soccer program at Rhode Island College.
The roster featured three players from Pawtucket – Camilo Estrada, Anderson Monteiro and Chuck Oddih – and two from Lincoln – Emmanuel Asiedu and Alexander LaBreche. Estrada and Asiedu learned earlier this week that their efforts and contributions did not go unnoticed by their contemporaries. Both were named to the Second Team All-Little East Conference.
A 2010 graduate of Tolman High, Estrada enjoyed a strong sophomore campaign at the collegiate level. The midfielder finished with eight goals and three assists in 19 games, 12 of which were starts. Estrada's most notable performance was a hat trick that came Sept. 14 against Regis College.
The 5-foot-10, 160-pound Estrada placed second on the 2013 Anchormen squad in points (18) and first in shots taken (54).
A junior forward who's listed at 5-4 and 135 pounds, Asiedu, led RIC in goals (10), assists (five) and total points (25), a figure good enough for fifth-most in the LEC. One of two Rhode Island College captains, the former Lincoln Lion was one of just three Anchormen to start all 19 games. Twice he tallied game-winning penalty kicks – Aug. 31 vs. The College of New Jersey and Sept. 18 against Bridgewater State. In addition, Asiedu netted the game's lone goal in a 1-0 triumph against UMass Dartmouth on Sept. 21.
Monteiro enjoyed a successful freshman campaign at RIC. The 2013 Tolman grad appeared in 18 games, starting all of them. The 5-7, 160-pound midfielder compiled two goals and three assists for seven points, good for fourth-most on the squad. Monteiro's first goal in an Anchormen uniform came in RIC's season-opening 3-3 draw against Ramapo on Aug. 30.
A junior midfielder, Oddih appeared in 12 games for RIC, starting twice. A freshman goalie, LaBreche allowed zero goals in 14:42 of game action, all coming in one game.
Wilder Arboleda's college soccer career at Providence College might be drawing to a close, but the Pawtucket native and 2009 Tolman alumnus is not going down without a fight. A redshirt senior for the Friars, Arboleda recorded a goal and an assist during Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Creighton in a Big East quarterfinal match held in Providence.
The goal against the Bluejays was Arboleda's third of the season and the 17th of his PC career. The six-foot, 175-pound midfielder missed six games earlier this season due to injury.
Arboleda and the Friars now set their sights on a semifinal matchup against Georgetown that's on the docket for Friday night in Philadelphia.
As part of the new turf complex at Cumberland's Tucker Field, the town plans to install an engraved brick walkway that appropriately will be dubbed "Tucker Field Walk of Memories."
Those with firm ties to this community are encouraged to be part of a project that will be on permanent display. The deadline to place an order for these commemorative bricks is Jan. 31 with installation slated to begin next spring. All proceeds from the sale of bricks will benefit the renovation project that has transformed Tucker Field into a state-of-the-art athletic facility.
For more information, contact the Cumberland Parks & Recreation Department at (401) 334-996.
Nick Zammarelli already knows his baseball address for the Summer of 2014. The 2013 Lincoln High graduate and current freshman at Elon University will suit up for the Newport Gulls of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL), which uses wooden bats.
As the new girls' basketball head coach at Burrillville High, Samantha Stanton can't wait to give back to the program. A 2006 graduate of the school, Stanton played for the Lady Broncos – she competed for former head coach Marty Crowley and was a teammate of Lindsay Rachlow, who succeeded Crowley and coached at Burrillville for three seasons.
The Burrillville position opened up during the summer after Rachlow decided to take an assistant coaching position at King Philip High after Crowley was named the Warriors' mentor.
A long-term substitute teacher in Burrillville, Stanton served as Crowley's top assistant during the Broncos' cross-country season.
"I have several of the girls in class, so I feel like I already have a connection with them," Stanton said. "Having one ex-player taking over for another, I feel that it's a great tradition."
We had the opportunity to touch base with Davey Lopes just prior to the Red Sox and Cardinals meeting in the 2013 World Series. After asking the East Providence native to offer his thoughts on the two teams, the conversation shifted on how long he plans to remain involved in professional baseball. The 68-year-old Lopes has spent the last 40-plus years in the major leagues as a player or coach, the last three coming with the Los Angeles Dodgers as the club's first-base coach.
"I would like to get a couple more years. I think the body can still do it and the mind is fine. The health is good," Lopes said. "I've been in the game a long time and it would be tough to shut it down."
It's been confirmed that Rhode Island-based high school football officials will be allowed to work the Thanksgiving holiday games.
Staying somewhat on topic, the groundbreaking decision that Division II leaders made in opting to hold the semifinals the weekend before Thanksgiving as opposed to the Tuesday after could prove the start of a new playoff schedule.
What gives Division II a leg up over the other three divisions is that none of the 16 schools in the aforementioned division play in Thanksgiving games that count toward the league standings. It's no secret that coaches are not keen on the idea of potentially playing three football games in a 10-day window, a challenge that the final two teams left standing in Divisions I, III and IV will have to confront later this month.
On the flip side, the Super Bowl participants in Division II will enjoy the luxury of having a little more than a week off between Thanksgiving and the championship. It may not be long before the coaches in the other divisions start to think long and hard about adopting a similar course of action, which would then result in all Thanksgiving games being classified as non-leaguers.

Dr. Fred E. Nowroozi's Ratings
unfortunately, I have had a very different experience with Dr. Nowroozi's staff. The PA, Kimberly, Dr. Nowroozi and very personably and good at what they do, though my treatment has had very little effect on my pain. My case is quite complicated. However, my experience with Dr. Nowroozi's staff has been truly humiliating. On one occasion an employee said, "You deal with her. I can't stand this. What they "couldn't stand" were my tears as I explained my dire financial situation. They berated me, told me that my financial situation wasn't their problem. This is after I had been a paying customer for almost a year. I had always paid my bills on time up to that point. The complete lack of care and concern is unbelievable given the nature of their business. Not to mention, they berated me in front of a room full of patients waiting to be seen. As I cried a man got up from his chair and said, "I'm so sorry. Do you need help?" The help should come from the doctors, not the patients.

Dr. Nowroozi is very personable and involved with each of his patients. He is available when you need him. He involves the patient in the treatment plan and follows-up to make certain there are no problems. He is very knowledgeable about this subject and was most helpful. Staff is friendly, competent and helpful.

On Bookshelves Now: Rifts, Rivalries and Recriminations

In it, Mr. Woodward describes officials in lock step on policy in public, but locking horns in private. The administration has denied many of the many books' claims, both the reported policy disagreements and the more personal ones, particularly in ''State of Denial.''October 8, 2006 washingtonNews

User Choice and Music Licensing
Music licensing can get very complicated, but we try to make your experience as simple as possible. We want you to have options when uploading videos with music in them. And if your video is subject to a copyright claim, you should have some choices too.
Previously, when a music label or other rights owner issued a copyright claim to block audio, the video was automatically taken down. Uploaders had two choices: dispute the claim (in the case of fair use, for example) or use our AudioSwap tool to replace the track with one from our library of pre-cleared music. Now we've added an additional choice. Instead of automatically removing the video from YouTube, we give users the option to modify the video by removing the music subject to the copyright claim and post the new version, and many of them are taking that option.
Our content management tools have revolutionized the ways in which users and content owners are distributing, marketing, and making money from video online. As we continue to build out this system, we are working to find the right balance between encouraging creativity and free expression and respecting the rights of copyright holders and the law.

By CHARI JELSMASports Writer
Many outdoor activities are available in Carbon County for anyone who is interested, but in a recent study, an increase in participation by women was noted.
In the 2004 Outdoor Recreation Participation Study for the U.S. was conducted by the Leisure Trend Group, four important outdoor-related markets with the highest potential for growth in the next few years were noted. One of those important market areas was women.
Since the outdoors has always been a place of escape for most men, women are now embracing the possibilities of escape from their every day pressures and worries.
Women are now breaking away from the typical stereotypes of spending their leisure time enjoying sewing, shopping and arts and crafts and more are discovering the rejuvenating effects of outdoor recreation on both the mind and body.
Women are the fastest growing group for both the shooting and hunting industries. More than 2 million women spend time hunting and 4 million women target shooting. And these numbers are growing on a daily basis.
The growing interest is partly attributed to the increase in single parent families. Without a father figure introducing their children to recreation activities, women are taking up the responsibility. It is estimated that more and more single mothers want to participate in outdoor activities with their children.
Another factor may be the gravitation toward a more health conscious society. This belief emphasizes the benefits, both physical and mental, of spending more time in outdoor settings.
In another study conducted by the Indiana University School of Health and Physical Education and Recreation in late 2001, women had different affects to outdoor recreation. Some effects contributed to daily life, increasing self-sufficiency along with a possible shift in perspective.
The findings of the Women and Wilderness Recreation Study suggested that the recreation leads to positive changes in the view of the world and how society in general is normally perceived by women. After the completion of the study, researchers concluded by recommending that more opportunities for women to participate in outdoor recreation should be made.
In Carbon County, many opportunities are available to women that aren't available in other areas. Hunting, camping and fishing can all be enjoyed by women without a great travel expense due to Carbon County's rural setting.
Carbon County Recreation gives many chances for women to experience outdoor activities that would normally be impossible without their participation. Along with many classes and clinics offered to educate those who are inexperienced, there are many rafting trips and other activities available to anyone in the community that is interested in participating.
Even with these opportunities, not as many women as men feel comfortable participating in outdoor activities. Most women will easily admit to feeling out of place when in an outdoor setting.
More young girls are also becoming familiar with outdoor activities. Along with their mothers, girls are participating more in fishing, camping, hunting and even target shooting.
Several opportunities for sports for girls are also provided by Carbon County Recreation. Carbon County Recreation has several clinics and teams for girls to participate in including softball, peewee softball, cheer leading, girls basketball and volleyball along with chances to participate in canoeing and hiking trips.

Just this weekend, 30-plus people were detained in an arcade in Hubei province. The detained were partaking of illegal video gambling inside the arcade. The arcade was shut down and destroyed. Also last week, there was the story of a 17-year-old girl ran away from home because she was assaulted after during one of her father's gambling induce rages.
On top of all of that, God of Gamblers series that show and often glorify the role that organized crime has in gambling.
Often times gaming arcades are fronts for illegal gambling. The bells and whistles of real video games cover the sights and sounds of gambling machines. So every now and again, the Chinese government cracks down on arcades across the country looking for gambling machines, and when they find them, they destroy them.

Finding Passenger Lists and Records for the Port of Boston, Massachusetts 1820-1954
Compiled by Joe Beine
Boston Passenger Lists and Immigration RecordsThis webpage lists online and microfilmed ship passenger lists and their indexes for the port of Boston, Massachusetts from 1820 to 1954. Except where noted, the microfilm rolls listed here can be ordered from the LDS Family History Library (FHL) at many local Family History Centers for viewing and photocopying for a fee. You can also find the microfilm rolls (except the Massachusetts State Lists) at the US National Archives (NARA) and some of its branches. Some genealogy libraries may also carry them.
Online Index and Images 1820-1954Online Index: Boston Passenger Lists Online Index & Images, September 1820-1954 (requires payment)
Ancestry has indexed and digitized images of Boston passenger lists from the National Archives microfilm publications T843, M277, T938, A3604 and A3607. Note: 1855-1856 and 1875-1882 are not included in this database. For those years (and perhaps other missing ships) see the section on the Massachusetts State Lists below.
Index on Microfilm 1820-1847Boston has not been indexed by NARA from 1820-1847. The Online Index listed above can be used to help find passengers in this time frame. However, some Boston passenger lists are indexed here: Supplemental Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Atlantic and Gulf Coast Ports (Excluding New York), 1820-1874 (NARA & FHL Microfilm Numbers) (National Archives Publication M334, 188 rolls)
Index on Microfilm 1848-1891Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, MA, 1848-1891 (NARA & FHL Microfilm Numbers) (National Archives Publication M265, 282 rolls)
Passenger Lists on Microfilm 1820-1891 (with gaps)Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, MA; 1820 to July 29, 1891 (NARA & FHL Microfilm Numbers) (National Archives Publication M277, 115 rolls) See notes...
The original customs passenger lists for Boston prior to 1883 were destroyed in a fire. However, copies of the records (1820-1874 with gaps) survived. Original lists (1883-1891) also survived. These are available on microfilm from NARA (list at the above link) or can be ordered at some Family History Centers. The major exceptions are the periods from 1855-1856 and April 1874 - 1 Jan 1883. See the next section for where to get records for these gaps.
Massachusetts State Lists 1848-1891
(The "Missing" Passenger Lists 1855-1856 & 1874-1882)The state of Massachusetts kept separate State Lists, which cover 1848-1891 (including the missing NARA time frames of 1855-1856 & 1874-1882; as well as other gaps). These State Lists are available from the Massachusetts State Archives in Boston. They are also available on microfilm at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. See: Registers of passengers arriving in Massachusetts ports, 1848-1891 (microfilm information). If you are unable to find the passenger list you are searching for in the federal records, and it is in the time frame of 1848-1891, then you might check the Massachusetts State Archives lists.
These missing NARA lists are still included in NARA's microfilmed 1848-1891 index for Boston (see above), which can be ordered from many Family History Centers. That index is actually an index to the State Lists and is fairly complete.
The Massachusetts State Archives is building an online database for this time frame. For more information see: Boston Passenger Lists Index 1848-1891 (not yet complete).
Indexes on Microfilm 1899-1940Note: Boston has not been indexed on microfilm from 1892 to 31 March 1899, or for 1901. See the online index listed above.
Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, MA, Jan. 1, 1902--June 30, 1906 (NARA & FHL Microfilm Numbers) (National Archives Publication T521, 11 rolls)
Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, MA, July 1, 1906--December 31, 1920 (NARA & FHL Microfilm Numbers) (National Archives Publication T617, 11 rolls) This index is arranged in rough alphabetical order.
Book Indexes to Boston Passenger Lists, 1899-1940 (NARA & FHL Microfilm Numbers, and a link to an online version) (National Archives Publication T790, 107 rolls) This index begins 1 April 1899 and ends 14 Sept 1940. It is arranged chronologically by date of ship arrival and then alphabetically by first initial of surname for each class of passenger. So you must know the approximate date of arrival for this index to be useful. There are no book indexes for the year 1901.
Passenger Lists on Microfilm 1891-1943Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, MA; August 1, 1891 to 1943 (NARA & FHL Microfilm Numbers) (National Archives Publication T843, 454 rolls)

Rep. William L. Owens predicts there is a 50-50 chance Congress will approve a farm bill this year, despite Thursdays vote by the House of Representatives that cut the food stamp program from its version of the bill.
Mr. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, who voted against the bill, said during a phone interview Friday that political tactics in the House wont prevent a complete bill with farm programs and food stamps from being reconciled in a conference with members of the House and the Democratic-led Senate, leading the way for a final vote.
The House is expected to vote next week on a separate nutrition bill, which will include even deeper cuts than before to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or food stamps. Passage of that legislation, Mr. Owens said, is needed for a final bill to be negotiated by conference and put on the floor for a final vote in the House and Senate.
Mr. Owens said he believes that passing a farm bill by Sept. 30, when an extension of the current bill approved in 2008 expires, will hinge mainly on the level of cuts to food stamps in the final bill. He said the figure decided on will have to attract Democratic and Republican votes by finding the right balance.
The number needs to be low enough to get Democratic votes, Mr. Owens said. My number is somewhere in the $6 to $10 billion range. My concern is there is still a lot of poverty in the north country and people that depend on food stamps for their survival.
If the bill isnt approved, he said, the 2008 farm bill likely will be extended for a year.
House Republican leaders were able to quickly bring forward Thursdays split farm bill in the House, which was introduced Wednesday night. To do that, Mr. Owens said, the House rules committee waived the three-day period normally required for legislation to be reviewed. Only 12 Republicans voted against it.
Republican leaders are talking about putting a nutrition bill on the floor next week, because theyre not sure the bill can be (negotiated) with the Senate without it. I cant follow the logic of sending two separate bills over in the same bill to be negotiated.
Mr. Owens predicted the Democratic-led Senate will not vote for a split farm bill, or one that contains steep cuts to food stamps. The Senates bill would cut about $4.1 billion to food stamps over the next decade, while the House is expected to approve cuts of more than $20 billion.
Food stamps and agriculture programs have been combined in the farm bill for 80 years for a good reason, Mr. Owens said. The number of members of Congress who represent heavily agricultural districts has gradually declined. That reduction of support for agricultural programs would make it challenging to pass a farm bill without dovetailing it with food stamps.
As that trend continues in time, you would have almost no motion in Congress on farm programs alone, because you have so little representation, Mr. Owens said. One reason that food stamps were put into the farm bill was to make sure that urban legislators had interest in the legislation.
Another item of controversy included in the approved House bill, which Mr. Owens opposes, is language that would repeal the so-called 1949 statute, in which laws from the 1930s and 40s take effect when the farm bill expires.
Thats a long-term cause for concern, because the legislation motivated each of the bills that passed, because they would revert back to the bill from 1949, he said. If the statute is repealed, likely there will be no motivation to produce another farm bill going forward. That means specialty crop and conservation groups will be potentially cut out in 2018.
Mr. Owens said he believes theres now a 50-50 chance the bill will pass.

Texas Republican Ron Paul, Ohio Democrat Dennis Kucinich, and New Jersey Democrat Rush Holt are continuing the fight in the House of Representatives against the use of drones for targeted killing by the Obama administration. They have once again called upon the Obama administration to release documents to justify the use of the overseas drone strikes.
According to the two-page "resolution of inquiry" Attorney General Eric Holder would have to "transmit to the House of Representatives not later than 14 days after the date of the adoption of this resolution, any documents and legal memoranda in the Attorney General's possession relating to the practice of targeted killing of United States citizens and targets abroad."
Earlier this year, leaks of classified documents have shed some light on the use of drones, but rather than garnering harsh backlash over some of those counter-terror efforts that were exposed through the leaks, the information only made lawmakers attack what they perceived to be intentional leaks by the Obama administration to bolster his image as a strong anti-terrorist leader. The unconstitutionality, immorality, or illegality of drone use never entered the discussion.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has reported that drone strikes have killed over 3,000 people, including more than 1,000 innocent civilians, since 2002.
When introducing the legislation to the House, Kucinich acknowledged, "According to a memorandum prepared by the White House Office of Legal Counsel, when the United States conducts such an attack it is legal. The Congress and the American people have a right to know this legal framework. Congress has an obligation as the sole authority under the Constitution to declare war to know how the use of force abroad is being used, especially against U.S. citizens."

Much Needed Accessories
Being an athlete, whether professional or amateur usually leads to the need to get every piece of equipment you can imagine. For baseball and softball players, there are countless items that are found in bat bags on each bench. Many of these items are necessary for success, while others are more for superstitions than anything else. These items are all available at Cheap Bats and many of these items are affordable will help your game mentally and physically.
Prepare for the Game
Getting your arm loose before the game is something that is overlooked by too many players around the world. The idea that you have a spaghetti arm that never gets tired or injured is what you say until you get injured. One way to prevent injury when playing is to ensure your arm is fully loosened up and an easy way to do that is with a warm up ball. These are weighted balls that you toss to a teammate 5-to-10 times before throwing a game ball.
Another thing you might want to do before a game is take a few cuts with your bat. Much to the same effect as throwing a weighted ball, you will want to swing your bat with a weight on it.
Game Time Helpers
Whether it is pine tar sticks or liquid, glove oil, athletic tape, pro bat grip or sting eliminators, it is often the little things that make a difference. For those playing wood bat baseball or softball leagues, the need to have these items handy is essential. Without athletic tape and pine tar, you won't be able to get a solid grip on the handle of the bat and this could lead to scary situations for spectators.
Glare can be one of the most dangerous things for defensive players and one way to protect yourself in these sunny situations would be with eye black. After applying only a little eye black beneath your eye, you will be better served to field any grounder or fly ball hit to you regardless of the sun. Other game time helpers you may want to look into include scorebooks, home and away pitch counters and lineup organizer clipboards.

A pivot asks if anyone has used any of the multitude of grid frameworks in a production site. Assorted developers have used and liked Blueprint, Compass and 960 grid. Blueprint was the most used, but no one had any complaints. It seems that often times people think they need a grid when really they just want a three column layout.
Another pivot reports that they are very happy after setting "paste and match style" to the default behavior for Cmd-V. The peanut gallery pointed out that you might want to paste without matching styles occasionally, and it was decided this would be an acceptable use of the mouse when it was necessary.

The paste and match style discussion reminded another developer of a time when they were trying to compare two things pasted from terminal. They learned the hard way that there are character encoding or other issues that caused cause the diff to not include all the differences that they were looking for.

Shoppers browsing for deals and families eating carnival food paused Saturday afternoon on Public Square to admire the athletic prowess of 11-year-old Delaney E. Oliver, who, wearing red boxing gloves, threw punches at her coach, John D. Pepe, from the Watertown Area Boxing Club.
The crowd watched the boxing demonstration during the annual Black River Fall Fest organized by the Downtown Business Association, as vendors packed the street with canopy tents and the J.B. Wise parking lot featured a classic car show.
Shes tough, Mr. Pepe, club president, said as he moved rapidly from side to side, deflecting the young boxers punches with a large chest shield.
Onlookers clapped as Delaney, daughter of Dara and Kevin Oliver, finished sparring.
The coolest thing about boxing is when you get into the ring to fight, she said. It makes you tough.
The boxing club, which is housed on the third floor of J.B. Wise Place, also had a promotional booth at the festival, joining many other downtown businesses in showcasing themselves to the community.
Vendors said Saturdays overcast weather didnt stop a strong crowd from making purchases throughout the day.
Featuring his craftsmanship at one of the more popular booths, Robert M. Reczo, 24, Rutland, used a small propane torch to make burn marks on wooden signs to give them a rustic finish. The hanging signs were etched with witty sayings, such as A clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory and A day at the beach is worth a month in town, and sold for $13 apiece.
I started using a blowtorch about six months ago, and thats when I found my niche, he said, adding that he sold about 50 signs by 1 p.m. People up north like the rustic look.
Families with young children, including mothers pushing strollers, composed much of the festivals crowd.
Lounging at a picnic table, James L. and Amy J. Fluno of Watertown enjoyed hot dogs and french fries with two of their grandchildren, Ruby L., 5, and Autumn K., 1.
Its a good community event, with the bands and old car show, Mrs. Fluno said. Were going to look at the cars next.
Rubys eyes lit up, Mr. Fluno said, when she saw a large inflatable bounce house and a 60-foot-long obstacle course on Public Square.
Were going to do everything while were here, he said.
Some children persuaded their parents to buy pet hermit crabs sold by Shaun W. LaFave, Syracuse, whos been a vendor at the event for three years. Mr. LaFave, 35, started buying crabs from New Jersey six years ago to sell at upstate New York festivals.
Its a unique and affordable pet, he said. Theyre sold everywhere on the East Coast, so I decided to bring them here.

Pool reached the 140-00 mark on her fourth throw of the day, which placed her nearly six feet ahead of the second place finisher Olivia Williams of Nevada Community.
Pool's gold medal in the discus will be a first in the Borger girls track program.
Riding the high of the first place finish, Pool came back Friday evening and took second place in the shot put with a throw of 41-07.50. A mark she reached on her first throw in the event.

Saybrook Alum Publishes Expose on DMS-5 Revisions
Members of Saybrook University's faculty and staff have not hidden their dissatisfaction with the changes to the fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), which was published in May. Saybrook's President, Mark Schulman, challenged the association's updates in a piece in the Huffington Post, reading in part:
"This is madness. Millions of people who are perfectly healthy, who are not sick but are looking for help, will be forcibly turned into customers for the pharmaceutical industry. Most patients come to therapy not because they have neural chemical imbalances, but because they are grappling with fundamental questions: how do I live a meaningful life in a challenging world? How do I live with integrity? How do I repair my relationships? How do I live in harmony with my environment? Am I alone? What does my life mean?"
Saybrook's psychology faculty have been particularly vocal about the upcoming changes, with an entire section on their blog, The New Existentialists, covering the history, criticisms and support for the process. Chief among the warnings is the fear that the so-called "Bible of Psychiatry" is pathologizing everyday emotions, cognitions and behaviors.
Now another member of the Saybrook community has written a book that criticizes the manual while investigating the history of mental suffering and our attempts to find scientific answers for it. Gary Greenberg, who graduated Saybrook in 1992 with a PhD in psychology, is a practicing psychotherapist in Connecticut. He spent two years embedded in the war over the DSM-5, participating in the revision process and observing both the APA and its detractors. In an article in the New York Times in May, he said that he decided to write the book after Allen Frances, the psychiatrist who chaired the task force that produced the fourth edition of the DSM, spoke out against the revision.
"It became clear that this time around things would be different," he said. "It wasn't just the spectacle of a patriarch suddenly gone rogue. Frances was saying out loud what critics of psychiatry had been saying to no avail for years: that the D.S.M., in all its editions, was a flawed and fragile document."
For more information about the book, or to purchase it, visit Dr. Greenberg's website.

Day 13 Hunger Games Ch 25-27 responses
As the Hunger Games come to their conclusion, a few things come to mind.
1.) Making a text to text connection, compare / contrast the response of the farm animals in Animal Farm, when the pigs walked out of the house wearing clothes and on two legs, to the choice Katniss and Peeta have to make at the end of Ch 24 when the Gamesmakers change the rules again.
2.) Make a text to text connection to our Social Studies book Chapter 11 for the choice Katniss and Peeta made at the end of Ch 24 to that of the social studies content.
3.) Muttations are the name of the creatures in the arena. Mutt is a name for a mongrel dog, and a mutation is a change. Using these clues, explain why muttations is an appropriate name for these creatures. What were they really?
4.) Was Katniss playing the game all along or did she really have / develop feelings for Peeta? What is your proof?
5.) Why were Katniss and Peeta in more trouble out of the arena than inside it after the games were over?
6.) What do you think the future holds for winners of the Hunger Games, especially given the disobedience they showed to the Capital. Refresh my memory, how did Katniss & Peeta force the hand of the Capital during the Hunger Games?
7.) Given that Katniss and Peeta will be making the rounds of all of Panam, what do you predict will happen? What new conflicts may they face?
8.) Overall, give your honest feedback on the Hunger Games. Did it live up to the "hype" that I gave it? What was your favorite part? Are you going to read book 2?

Hunger Games Day 12 Ch 23-24
1.) Day12 brought about the introduction of a new element into the game, strange creatures. Without reading ahead, and knowing that the gamesmakers continually introduce changes to keep the game interesting. Describe what you think the creatures may look like / be like. Illustrate them here as well.
2.) How do you think this might change the game with only three players left? What do you think happened to Thresh? Could these creatures be involved with that?
3.) Making T-W connections, compare our year of MeyerIsland to the Hunger Games. How do you think you'd do in the Hunger Games?
4.) Do you think that the tributes who go into the Hunger Games knowing what the games are about, had an advantage in being successful, as compared to you students who "might" or "might not" know the game of Survivor?
5.) What happened to Foxface? How did she die? What connection does Katniss make about how she died and a mystery she was wondering about?

Hunger Games Day 11 CH 21-22
1.) Describe the gathering at the cornucopia. Was the risk worth the reward for Katniss? What did she do to Peeta to keep him from coming?
2.) Describe the incident with Clove and Thresh. What was surprising about this? Why did Thresh do what he did?
3.)Does this change your opinion of him since his interview before the games started? Why or why not?
4.) Describe a time when someone did you a favor. How did you feel owing someone?
5.) Katniss and Peeta's relationship takes a turn. Describe how Peeta and Katniss's relationship mirrors that of their parents?

Hunger Games Day 10 Ch 19-20
1.) What "tween" or pop-culture influences do you think played on the author as they wrote this novel? Explain how you see the influences. (example -Survivor, there is only 1 winner, American Idol - people watch the behind the scenes, etc.)
2. What text connections have you made so far? Explain your (2) connections and how they fit with the Hunger Games.
When did Katniss first realize that Peeta does care for her and is trying to keep her alive?
4.)When does she realize her own feelings for him?
5.) Did Haymitch think all along that he could keep them both alive by stressing the love story?
6.) Are they actually in love? explain.

Day 9 Hunger Games Chapter 17-18
1.) What is a hero? Explain what they do or say that makes them heroic. Think of examples from popular culture that "show" heroism.
2.) Many of you may think that Katniss isn't much of a hero at all. Have the events of these two chapters changed your minds about that?
3.) What has Katniss done to show her "true colors"?

Hunger Games Day 8 Ch 15-16
1.) Why did Peeta join with the Career Tributes in the beginning of the Games? What does he hope to gain?
2.) Why do they accept him when they start hunting as a group? Why do groups form in the beginning when they know only one of them will be able to survive?
3.) What makes Katniss and Rue trust each other to become partners?
4.) What does Katniss gain from this friendship besides companionship?
5.) Is Katniss and Rue's partnership formed for different reasons than the other group's?
6.) Discuss the ways in which the Gamesmakers control the environment and "entertainment" value of the Games.
7.) How does it affect the tributes to know they are being manipulated to make the Games more exciting for the gamblers and viewers?
8.) Does knowing that she is on live TV make Katniss behave differently than she would otherwise? Explain.

Hunger Games Day 7 Ch 13-14
1.) The games have begun! Are they quite what you had expected?
2.) Children are exposed to tens of thousands acts of violence on television, cartoons, movies, and video games by this point in their lives. Does the Hunger Games protray violence in a manner that bothers you / grosses you out / doesn't really matter (becuase you know it is fiction) / or some other emotion?
3.) In our previous days questions, most of you said you would go defensive. Would you say this is Katniss's strategy?
4.) Could it be said she is "passive" aggressive. meaning she is being offensive in playing the game, but not "outwardly" being aggressive?
5.)Think of the example of the trackerjackers and Glimmer. Who would you say is responsible for Glimmer's demise?
6.) Does playing the game that way make it feel LESS GUILTY for Katniss than what Peeta did?
7.) Would it be possible to "play" the game without taking a life on purpose / accident and still win?

The Christian and Science (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul Apr 16, 2009 Category: ArticlesMany Protestant scholars venture earlier into church history and lay the blame for this division at the feet of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Among Protestant thinkers, there seems to be a kind of allergy to the work of Aquinas. Francis Schaeffer, for example, is one who would lay much of the blame for today's schizophrenic view on Aquinas. Schaeffer argued that the root of modern man's trauma lies in the separation that Aquinas made between the realms of nature and grace. The realm of nature is the daily arena of his visible world, the scientific inquiry. The realm of grace is the supernatural realm of God. If Aquinas did in fact separate nature and grace, then certainly Dr. Schaeffer would be correct in pointing the finger at Saint Thomas for causing a significant part of modern man's dilemma. I plead for Aquinas, that he was not guilty of the charge. Aquinas did everything in his power to prevent a separation of nature and grace. He labored tirelessly to combat the efforts of philosophers who were making such a separation. Let us briefly consider the historical background. Keep Reading

He Is Risen!
from R.C. Sproul Apr 12, 2009 Category: ArticlesHere is the watershed of human history where the misery of the race is transformed into grandeur. Here the kerygma, the proclamation of the early church, was born with the cry "He is risen." We can view this event as a symbol, a lovely tale of hope. We can reduce it to a moralism that declares, as one preacher put it, "The meaning of the Resurrection is that we can face the dawn of each new day with dialectical courage." Keep Reading

Christ's Resurrection & the Apostolic Gospel
from R.

The Word of God in the Hands of Man
from R.C. Sproul Apr 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesIt was many years ago when my grandmother related to me games that she played as a little girl in the 1880s. One game she mentioned was one that she and her Methodist girlfriends played with their Roman Catholic friends. In a playful jest of the words of the Mass, my grandmother would say, "Tommy and Johnny went down to the river to play dominoes." Here the word dominoes was a play on the use of the term Domine that occurred so frequently in the Catholic rite of the Mass. The children, of course, were revealing their lack of knowledge of the words of the Mass because they were spoken in Latin. Keep Reading
Our Hope in Ages Past
from Burk Parsons Apr 07, 2009 Category: Articles"Pray with your mouth, cry out with your heart, make petitions while you work, so that every day and night, every hour and moment, God may always assist you." These are the words of the ninth-century, Christian noblewoman, Dhouda. She penned these words of admonition to her son William. She was concerned that her oldest son, a page in the court of Charles the Bald, would understand what it means to be a godly man. Dhouda's Handbook for William contained wise counsel to her son concerning the necessity of daily prayer, his conduct in public worship, and the importance of his reverence in prayer, in worship, and in all of life.

Media Bias and the Resurrection of Jesus
from R. Fowler White Apr 06, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe military of ancient Rome really blew it. When it came to the resurrection of Jesus, the troops who guarded his tomb could have saved us all a lot of time and trouble by just giving up his dead body. One problem: they never did. They didn't because they couldn't. And they couldn't because, despite what you may have read, the resurrection of Jesus was and is a well-attested fact, perhaps the best-attested fact of antiquity.

Top 5 Commentaries on the Book of Nahum
from Keith Mathison Apr 04, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe prophetic oracles found within the seventh century B.C. book of Nahum concern Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian empire. Approximately a century before Nahum, Jonah had been sent to the Ninevites, and they had repented upon hearing the prophetic word. Their repentance, however, was apparently short lived because Nahum now addresses a wicked and brutal empire. There are a number of helpful commentaries on the Book of Nahum, and the following are five of the best. Keep Reading
