MASSENA - Several area law enforcement, fire and rescue agencies responded to the St. Lawrence Seaway near Cornwall Island at approximately 1:15 p.m. for what some people initially believed was a plane crash.
Among the agencies responding were the state police, park police, Massena Village Police, Massena Fire Department, and Massena Rescue Squad. Divers from surrounding agencies were also called, but turned around prior to arriving at the scene.
New York State Police Lt. Kevin Boyea confirmed reports nearly an hour later that the accident was a false alarm.
The only thing we had reports of was a low flying plane with smoke, he said. There was never any report of a plane crash.
St. Lawrence County Deputy Fire Cooridinator Frank Burns said the initial report was made by children on Cornwall Island with the emergency call originally going to Franklin County 911.
They called into Franlin County and then it was turned over to us, Mr. Burns said. They did the right thing. It ended up being a good drill for us.
Mr. Burns said the children saw what ended up being a Canadian Armed Forces plane fly over the the international bridge and then disappear out of sight.

Daybreak Montreal | Dec 24, 2012 | 8:24
Still waiting
Up until early this year, immigrants already living and working in Canada had to apply for permanent residency through the Canadian Consulate in Buffalo, New York. But in May, the Harper government closed the Buffalo office. Now many immigrants say they are facing long delays. Marina Smyth applied through the Buffalo CIC processing center and she joined us live in the Daybreak studio.

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you might have seen that I've published a book! No not THE book but a small collection of works from this website. Its titled The Archetypal Dinner Date and includes both the summary of how a dinner date should go and what you should do to make that happen, as well as a collection of three recipes that give you a step-by-step guide to creating a three course meal.
While all of this info is available here on the website for free, I ask and hope that you as readers will purchase a copy to help support me. I'm hoping that inclusion into the Amazon Kindle store will help spread the word of this website while also bringing in some revenue for myself.
This was also meant as a bit of a feet-wetting for myself as I'll have to face down the daunting task of editing and formatting a full sized book in the future.

Originally appeared in The National Law Journal on April 7, 2014
Did you make partner at your law firm? Did you make more money this year than the year before? Do you drive a nice car? Do you live in a big house? Are you happy? Would the 12-year-old version of you be impressed by who you have become?
Most of us begin our careers with a clear perspective of what we want. We can almost taste it, our visions and dreams are so real. Then life happens. Marriage, kids, work, more work, and then we wake up one day and ask: Is this really what I signed up for? Am I going through the motions or I am getting closer to what I want the most?
In the short term, we tend to set goals that are overly ambitious but, in the long term, we aren't ambitious enough. Why the disconnect? Perhaps it is due to our small attention span. We get overwhelmed by quotidian routine — we get up, do our work, exercise (maybe) and go home. But our Big Harry Audacious Goals, as leadership expert Tim Collins calls them in his bestselling book "Good to Great," we too often put on the back burner. How many times have I heard that someone wants to write a book, travel the world, buy rental properties, start a blog or their own business? But far too few have the focus and determination to start and complete those goals.
When I coach lawyers who haven't had much success at bringing in business, I find they often have a magic number: They tend to want to bring in an additional, say, $200,000 in new business during the next year. When I press them about how they hope get there, I find that far too many aren't willing to do the work required. They have no problem setting goals but find it all too easy to put off necessary disruption to their daily routines.
Three things have helped me accomplish my own goals: a clear plan, broken down into its components; a defined end date and a way to measure my progress; and accountability. This last can come from a coach or peer, but you need someone to keep you honest and focused.
When I first started my business, I set a goal of moving to Australia for a month with my family — and to have someone else pay for it. I wrote down the goal; planned a conference in Sydney with a partner to whom I'd been introduced through a connection there; and found a sponsor for my conference. The goal seemed impossible when I set it, yet I made it a reality.
They say we only use a small percentage of our brains, but I'm convinced that setting goals and dreams for our future is one of the most powerful ways to better access the latent portion of our talents.
Don't be afraid to set big goals, but be ready to pay the price to see them through. You only have one life — make sure it is spent on those things that matter most.

Horrorshow Kicking things off on the final day of Off The Cuff were Horrorshow, one of the best up-and-coming bands around the Birmingham area at the moment. It's hard to imagine such a glorious racket emanating from just two brummie lads, but with a sound akin to Death From Above 1979 having an orgy with Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, this energetic two piece set the tone for a day that was jam packed with loud, noisy, and, more importantly, effortlessly brilliant bands. &U&I Following them was another group of noisy natives, this time in the form of &U&I. They had the perfect blend of melancholic melody, explosive instrumentals and vocally arranged bliss, and they attacked every song with enjoyable fervour. They even managed to find time to slip in a little slap-bass odyssey and 'Free Nelson Mandela' into proceedings. Charlotte Carpenter Upstairs, and the final day of The BrumNotes Acoustic Stage was also well and truly under way. Counteract favourite Charlotte Carpenter began things with an unbelievably cool set. The chilled out onlookers were mesmerised and caressed by her husky, rustic vocals as she set the bar very, very high indeed. But, as evident with the acts that followed her, such as Joshua Caole and Two Fathoms, not inescapably high. Them Wolves Back in the Cellar, things were really kicking off. Them Wolves had just taken to the stage and my God, they were brain-rattlingly good. They threw songs out with unstoppable ferocity, playing with a degree of intensity that we had yet to see in full effect so far this weekend. Listening to their raucous, fast paced mayhem was like receiving a Tyson trademarked right hook, but infinitely more enjoyable. Blacklisters And this style of high-intensity performance carried on through to the next band, the equally awesome Blacklisters. Another member of the impressive Leeds contingent at Off The Cuff this year, Blacklisters were determined to get the crowd actively involved in their set, resulting in numerous crowd-surfs by lead singer Billy, as well as an impromptu wrestling match between him and a member of the audience during set closer and latest single' TrickFuck'. More of the heaving Leeds scene were to follow in the form of That Fucking Tank, an instrumental cacophony that really hammered home the point that for the last year or so, and possibly many more to come, now is Leeds' time to shine. Boat To Row Mezzatonic delivered their own style of funk-rock chilledness to the BrumNotes Acoustic Stage, before the vastly impressive and never to be under-estimated Boat To Row brought that particular stage's tenure this year, to an end. Surfing the crest of the folk-pop wave created by Mumford and Sons, BTR stunned the crowd with their expertly executed summer drench whimsy; banjo and all. Whilst the acoustics upstairs were winding down, The Cellar had hit the final straight. After Dublin math-punks Bats had showered the place in Emerald Isle aggression it was time for the two 'Big Names' of the festival to bring it to a close. TurboWolf The penultimate act of the weekend were Bristolian scuzz merchants TurboWolf. One of the most original bands on the line-up, The 'Wolf's blend of good 'ole fashioned rock and an acquired yet vindicated splash of synths made them one of the must see bands of the festival, and they didn't disappoint. drawing the first significant mosh pits of the weekend, they rocketed through the majority of their self titled debut album, delighting the crowd with tracks like 'Rose for a Crow', 'Let's Die' and the amazing 'Read and Write'. Even a sickening blow to the head of vocalist Chirs, courtesy of a misjudged crowd-surf, couldn't dampen the atmosphere of the capacity Cellar, with him solidiering on through the rest of the set as the crowd regaled them with the brilliantly tongue-in-cheek chants of 'WurboTolf'. Future Of The Left Bringing this absolutely amazing weekend of music to an end were, unlike the previous two days, entirely justified headliners, Future of The Left. The welsh alt-rockers were on fine form, packing the Cellar to overflowing, and treating the crowd to an extensive overview of their back catalogue, from fan favourites taken from their first album Curses, such as 'Manchasm' and 'adeadenemyalwayssmellsgood', to tracks like 'Sheena is a t-shirt salesman' and 'I am the Least of Your Problems' from their latest release, A Plot Against Common Sense. Overall, Off The Cuff was, once again, a roaring success. Whether it was utilised as a platform for underground and unsigned talent across the country, or as crowd-thrilling showcase of the best this Island has to offer, there was something that catered for everyone. And, with the addition of the BrumNotes Acoustic Stage, there is now another outlet for eager acts and another selling point for what is arguably one of the best small-scale festivals in the country.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Imagine a room filled with virtually thousands of examples of hard-to-find items in just about every antique and collectible area. Starting late next week, you'll be able to find such a place in West Michigan.
The biannual estate & consignment sale put together by Larry Fill Estate Service is always a "collectibles aficionados' playground."
The spring sale will open its doors Thursday, April 11 in Grand Rapids. The event is so popular, people will start sleeping in their cars in the parking lot days before it starts.
"Every estate is different," says Larry Fill, who has been putting together giant estate sales for 36 years. "I never know what's going to go out the door first."
From rare items like a pre Civil War 'magic lantern' to unique items like a camel saddle, this estate sale will literally have something for everybody who walks in the door.
"The excitement of the find; the excitement of the hunt is what drives a lot of collectors today," added Fill.
If you're a sports memorabilia collector, this sale could be a gold mine. There will be tens of thousands of baseball and football cards available, dating from the 1940s to present day.
"There are a lot of very, very hard to find cards in that baseball collection," said Fill.
Perhaps the most impressive items that will be for sale will be more than 16,000 comic books.
"Most of our customers come twice," said Fill. "They'll come the first day and get everything they want, at what they feel is a bargain price, then they come back on the weekend for the real bargains."
You'll be able to find several old toys at this sale as well as furniture, pottery and jewelry.
If you're considering coming to the event, but you'll be a first-time collectible/antique hunter, Fill says the best advice he can give is to plan on spending some time, maintain a good eye and if there's something specific you're looking for, do some research and bring that knowledge with you.
The estate sale will unfold at the West Michigan Design Center, which is located at 3850 29th St. SE in Grand Rapids.

Carroll County Students Win Maryland Envirothon.
A five-member team of students from Carroll County, named Venturing Crew 202, is the winner of the 24th annual Maryland Envirothon-an outdoor natural resources competition that challenges students to identify and categorize living resources, perform soil surveys and solve other complex natural resource issues. More than 100 challengers from 18 counties across Maryland took part in this year's competition. The event was held June 18-19 at the Camp Pecometh in Queen Anne's County.
Envirothon is a fun and exciting way for high school students in grades 9-12 to learn about the natural world around us. Envirothon teams are made up of five students and study Maryland's natural resources over the course of the school year. The first wave of competitions begins in the spring with local teams competing for the county Envirothon title. The county winner advances to the statewide Maryland Envirothon. This 2 day competition is usually held in June and features a number of outdoor activies, including night hikes, campfire chats and wildlife demonstrations, along with additional training in all five resource areas. The winner of the Maryland Envirothon earns the right to represent the state at the Canon Envirothon.

Students with
Psychological Disorders
at Florida Atlantic University
An Informational Brochure from the
Office for Students with Disabilities
Division of Student Affairs
A psychological disorder is defined as any persistent emotional or mental illness that substantially diminishes educational, social or vocational functioning, as reported by a mental health professional and based on a diagnosis from the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is a classification system of diagnoses and symptomatology for psychological disorders. Some disorders included in the DSM are agoraphobia, bipolar disorder, major depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and schizophrenia.
People who have been diagnosed with a psychological disorder may experience symptoms such as changes in observable behavior, perception, thought processes, emotional states and/or energy level. Although diagnosed with a psychological disorder, an individual's functioning may be extremely variable relative to medication, stress or factors associated with the disorder.
A person may experience symptoms of illness, but it may not be observable to others. One may also mistake a person as being abrupt, absent minded and/or "odd," when in fact the person is exhibiting symptoms of a psychological disorder. Many of these disorders are treated with medication and/or counseling, which can help to maintain a "normal" range of functioning.
Attitudinal barriers can have a direct impact on providing services to students with psychological disorders. Stereotypical beliefs and sensationalized events contribute to an increased bias against individuals with psychological disorders. While some believe people with psychological disorders are dangerous, research has determined that they do not commit more crimes or act more violently than the general population.
Some well known individuals with psychological disorders include:
- Mike Wallace – TV commentator
- Jackson Pollack – Artist
- Winston Churchill – Prime Minister
- Sir Isaac Newton – Scientist
- Charles Dickens – Author
- Patty Duke – Actress
- Lawton Chiles – Governor
- Contributions that are highly creative
- Difficulty with time management and organization (e.g., performing multiple tasks, meeting deadlines, prioritizing assignments)
- Complications in filtering out external stimuli which can affect one's concentration and performance
- Limited communication skills
- Difficulty reading social cues, which can lead to an intensified sense of anxiety when participating in class
- Difficulty establishing and/or maintaining appropriate relationships with faculty, staff and peers
- Inconsistency in attendance due to effects of disorder itself or side effects of medication
- Possible discomfort engaging in group work/activities
These functional limitations may appear more pronounced at a given time due to the cyclical nature of some psychological disorders.
- Provide a detailed course syllabus with clear explanation of course expectations and adhere to it as closely as possible
- Be empathetic when a student is expressing concerns related to her/his disorder and its impact on academics
- Have a flexible approach to students' needs while maintaining consistent standards and/or expectations
- Consult with and refer to other support services on campus when unsure how to handle a situation (e.g., OSD, Counseling and Psychological Services, Dean of Student Affairs)
- Be aware that periods of academic instability may be related to the student's disorder
- Take into consideration that you may not know a student's thoughts, feelings and reasons for a behavior
Counseling services are available free of charge through Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) to all registered FAU students. Services include individual counseling, couples counseling (your significant other need not be a student), family counseling, stress management, time management and medication management.
CAPS on Boca Raton campus: SS.229 (561.297.3540)
CAPS on Davie campus: SD 206e (954.236.1210)
CAPS on Jupiter campus: SR 110 (561.799.8635)
To be eligible for academic accommodations at Florida Atlantic University, a student must apply for services from the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD). Academic accommodations are determined based on self-report of the disability and effective prior accommodations; observation and interaction with OSD counselor, as well as disability documentation submitted by the student. The documentation must be in the form of a psychological report, psychiatric report or comprehensive doctor's letter from a licensed psychiatrist, psychologist, licensed clinical social worker or other practitioner qualified to make the diagnosis. The documentation must state a specific DSM diagnosis and should include anticipated effects of the student's functional limitations within the academic setting as well as suggestions for accommodating the student.
The evaluation must have been conducted within the last two years; however, the OSD reserves the right to make modifications to this time frame.
After a student has submitted an Application for Support Services and appropriate documentation of a disability to the OSD, the student will meet with an OSD counselor for an intake interview. During the intake, the student will be asked to provide information about her or his experience of disability, barriers he or she has encountered, as well as effective and ineffective prior accommodations. Appropriate accommodations are then determined based on an interactive process between the student and OSD counselor.
The student may be eligible for one or more of the following accommodations:
- Advocacy
- Professor notification
- Audio recording of classes
- Breaks as needed
- Exam adaptations (e.g., extended time to take exams, distraction-reduced setting)
- Excused absences (Students who miss a reasonable number of classes due to medical necessity will not be penalized for missed classes as long as assignments and tests are completed in a timely manner.)
- Time management, study skills and social skills training
These accommodations are necessary for ensuring complete access to, and full participation in, the educational process. Academic standards are not to be lowered, nor should there be an alteration in the essential nature of the course or degree requirements.
For more information:
National Institute of Mental Health
Note: Professors will be notified of the student's approved accommodations in an OSD Letter of Notification presented by the student. If the student is not registered with the OSD, please refer her or him to the office.

This one is for the girls out there with curly hair. Standard cotton, not the enhanced stuff used in towels to help soak up moisture, helps keep frizziness down. Grab a pair of your man's boxers and start drying that hair. Make sure they are from the drawer though, and not just off the ground.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1939 Ford Deluxe
Somewhere between a mild custom and a street rod is this 1939 Ford Deluxe for sale on Hemmings.com. From the outside, it appears something any young hoodlum would have driven to school in the 1940s or 1950s, with its lowered stance, skirts, and Cadillac caps, but under the hood, it's got a dual-quad Chevrolet small-block, and inside it wears a few touches that look a little more modern. What would you do with it – leave it as is, go traditional with a flathead, go all street rod, or restore it to stock? From the seller's description:
One unique little hot rod built as a mild 1950's custom. This little '39 is mostly stock with the exception of the new Chevy 350 crate motor installed in early 2012, the lowered suspension, upgraded wheels and Cadillac hubcaps. The new engine only has a few test miles on it, but she seems rarin' to go wherever you want to drive. It has a mild cam and dual quads mounted on an aluminum intake. She also carries a set of fiberglas skirts and a recent new set of wide white wall radials. The rest of the drivetrain is completely stock to the '39 Ford with the Banjo rearend and the stock 3-speed transmission. This little hot rod is a solid, rust-free and damage-free car that has been painted from top to bottom. The engine compartment was detailed when the new engine was installed. It has a carpeted trunk and interior, black and red vinyl seat and door panels, aftermarket Moon gauges, custom aluminum bumpers and the trunk was shaved with the trunk latch mounted inside the cabin.
This car is ready to cruise to the local drive-in carrying you and your sweetheart or just hang out at one of the local car shows around town. Even though she is cruise ready, she isn't ready for any high-speed highway driving. The stock rearend and 3 speed transmission won't get you anywhere fast. If I could afford to keep this car, she would be in for some drivetrain upgrades, some air conditioning and some updated suspension components; but that's just me. You decide what you want to do with this car. It's possibly one of the better and more solid cars you will find?
My dad and I are private collectors and have been enjoying the car hobby for many years. This was a great little project for us, but we have too many ahead of it and feel someone else would benefit from owning and sharing this car with their friends and family.

Don't Just say it do it!
Turning desire into action
So you don't like how you look. The years are flashing before your eyes. They seem to be flashing even faster as you age. You want to improve your health, you want to be more active, quit smoking, slow down your drinking and so on. But every time you try to start up something, life starts up and you can't.
Well, let me make this real easy. First off no matter when you decide to make changes, if you are living, which you are if you are reading this, life happens, it continues. As long as you are living there is stress, things happen whether they are expected or unexpected.
The one problem I see clients or potential clients have as a trainer is getting from talking about it to doing IT. I am working on another article that is the mother-load on this exact topic. But I wanted to address it sooner rather than later. And then drop the mother-load once I have organized, perfected, and packaged it in an understandable.
So lets look at this for now and see if I can help you get from wishing, to wanting, to doing. There seems to be a something that happens that makes a person either pull the trigger or place the gun down and then just stare at it for months before they pick it up again with the intention to pull, but then puts it down again. I know as a whole we are not patient people. We want results now. So if a person knows that training (whether with me or on their own, or with another trainer) is going to take time, effort and some commitment and they aren't ready then it may take some mental working out to accept this and and understand the time it may take. I don't think its the work per se. I think people wish they could train for a week and see the difference asap, then they would be more committed. The truth regarding this statement is that after a week of training and eating a clean diet people do see or feel results, yes they have way more work to do, but it is obvious change is taking place. When done correctly the change can be slow, but it can be, with a higher rate of permanent. Most want to see instant results. They want to fit into that dress in two weeks. Well, the thing about that is if the dress is two to three sizes two small and they only have two weeks, even with being super committed and following a plan to the letter, you may come up short. Usually, no always, I do not like taking clients who say "well I have a wedding in a month and want to wear this dress". First off they are not committed to becoming healthy, they are committed to wearing that dress, and after they wear that dress, the committed to train has vanished. So you would have to look at the reason why you want to become healthy and drop unhealthy weight. If it is for the short term, like an event, just buy a larger size dress. DO NOT ATTEMPT!! Losing weight and then gaining it back is so unhealthy. That yo-yo crap just wrecks your body, and how your body works.
So you bought the larger dress size, but every now and then that urge to change will come to the surface. Ok, try this. When that urge comes run with it. Go talk to a professional. Usually if the person is good at what they do, they will motivate you and hopefully the talking will turn into moving. Don't wait though, you need to strike when the iron is hot. If you have that thought and you actually go talk to a trainer it may have an amazing effect on you, especially if you usually just sit with that thought and eventually make a phone call. Too much time may have past, and during the call you listen and have moments of excited but you aren't mentally engaged. Instead you may be thinking about what you are going to order at dinner tonight. So instead of waiting when you have that urge MOVE, and move fast. Then, if hiring a trainer is what you have in mind make an appointment with a trainer asap. Most trainers offer a free consultation (like myself), the consultation may arm you with a stronger urge to get started.
Then you leave, now this is where is all happens, or doesn't. Life happens, and other things start to pop up. So if you set a date to start with a trainer, things may happen in between that make that date harder and harder to reach. One thing I have learned is when a person cancels our start date, 99% of the time they never re-shedule, or they do but something happens again. I think at that point they feel they have failed and never call again. First off, most trainers understand that throwing a regular scheduled workout into an already busy life can be hard to do. And it may take a few tries to get started. But if you feel like a failure because you let life get in the way of your set training time, don't. You are just learning how to make it all work and it may take a few tries. Explain that to your trainer. A good trainer will motivate and care if you are struggling with the scheduling and will arm you with tricks, ideas and suggestions to get yourself in the gym. Second you haven't failed until you have decided I don't want to do this, I give up. If you truly do want to make these changes you may need to explain to family members and your trainer that you are having a hard time getting started and need help and encouragement. I often hear that when a person is trying to leave their home to come to me everything seems to go wrong. Every one needs something. If the family is prepared then this is less likely to happen. If you tell your family in advance that at this time on this day I will be leaving, please help me by not jumping in my way, or pulling on me while I am walking out the door, or stop me to ask for help you with whatever. Usually if this talk is done in a serious manner making everyone sit down and listen they will understand the importance and it should eliminate the chaos that shows up while you are heading out the door. If you have people in your life that hold you back on most things you attempt, you may need to get real stern and ask them to back off. You may need to explain that if that continues there will be repercussions they won't enjoy. Threatening works well if you keep the punishment a surprise and leave it to their own imagination. Guaranteed it they will be pretty creative and come up with something pretty brutal on their own.
If you find it is you that lets that fire burn out, then I have a simple solution that may work. You have to have the desire and commitment. If you do have commitment and desire this may work. And this is what I will be writing about in another much longer article.
You have to reframe your goals in statements that will work to help you attain these goal. This is called the 'If-then" plan. So instead of saying "I want to workout", you say "if it is 12 pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday then I will go to the gym" or instead of saying "I won't eat junk food" you say "if I am hungry and want to snack, then I will eat the food I packed or snack on an apple and nuts". Another example since drinking does seem to be a factor in almost most programs you say "if I go out, then I will only have two drinks" and you can even choose the drinks "if I drink when I go out, then I will drink vodka and soda" instead of a fruity drink or a drink made with juice or beer. Do you see where I am going with all of this.
Of course you have control over the choices in your life. But Sometimes our ability to make these choices isn't as strong as we would like, or our commitment candle flickers and burns out. But the mind is so strong and every action comes from a thought. If we change how we think, how we use our words, retrain our brain and be more direct, then we can hopefully eliminate what happens when our intentions go from intent, to missed opportunity.
It's not easy. I even struggle at times. But I have done some type of "if-then" for years. If I am having a hard day, I will tell myself at so-and-so time I will go downstairs and train. It works out well and has kept me from having many lazy days that were not earned, just desired.
Now, some may disagree with me about some of the statements I made in the previous paragraphs about trainers and how they should step in and motivate. Well that is my opinion, and here is more. As a trainer you don't just say pick up that weight and do this. Exercise, weight loss, health, and any thing related can be extremely hard for some to adapt to. Some come to workout not just for weight loss, but to have a place to release tension. Some come and train but talk and get a lot off their chests. I was taught that as a trainer you motivate, inspire, support, encourage and so on. If you are reducing your training to pick that up, do this exercise, then your clients may not benefit as much as they should. I think training has a personal side to it. I think you should get along with your trainer. Some trainers think it should be completely professional and emotionless. I am not that kind of trainer. And I think if given a choice between a good robotic trainer and a good personable trainer, a person would enjoy, and gain more from the personable trainer. Both are good. But if you feel comfortable and less vulnerable during your sessions you may be able to do more, push yourself, and feel better not just physically but all the way around. This is my opinion, so take it or leave it, I live it and train it, and my clients love it!
Anything is possible, you just need to get your brain straight, reframe your goals, and get started!

Does battery come with case?
- Asked by Scott S from Grand Haven
- Flag as inappropriate (Does battery come with case?)
2 Answers from the Community
Yup. Comes with both pieces, the Battery Pack and the dotted case that goes directly on the phone.
- Answered by Paco P from Cambridge
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 1
Yes, there is a plastic case that snaps into the iPhone - I leave it on all the time even when I'm not using the battery. This case has some holes in the back that allow the case to snap onto the battery pack. My only criticism of this case is that it has a very smooth plastic finish and is slippery to hold - I would have liked to see a rougher finish or the excellent rubbery finish they put on the battery itself.

"Individual accountability is the measurement of whether or not each group member has achieved the groups' goal. Assessing the quality and quantity of each member's contributions and giving the results to all group members" [1].
Individual accountability is the factor that shows that the organization is acting cooperatively and also demonstrates due diligence and effective governance. "The purpose of cooperative groups is to make each member a stronger individual in his or her own right"[2].
There are numerous methods that may be used to structure and increase individual accountability. Some of these include:
- Periodically testing staff to see if they understand the policies of the organization,
- Ensuring that controls are enforced fairly throughout the organization.
Individual accountability reduces fraud. By instilling a level of personal accountability and ethical responsibility within the organization's staff, lower rates of incidents can be expected.
Group vs. Individual Accountability
Groups perform as groups when they are treated as groups. If we treat individuals only as individuals, they will not perform as a group.
Controls over accountability need to apply both of the individual and group level. It is common to blame an individual for the failings of a control without looking at the root cause.
Privileged Users
Controls need to be implemented to ensure that a level of accountability and monitoring are assigned to privileged users (such as the root account on UNIX and Administrator accounts in Windows).
Privileged users consist of more than just the administrative user. When setting controls over privileged users consider operator accounts (such as backup operators and those personnel who issue user accounts) and implement both preventative and detective controls at a minimum.
One of the most frequently overlooked areas when considering privileged users is that of network and peripheral equipment. It is common for routers and other network devices to be poorly configured and use insecure access and accounting controls.

City firefighters were called to a smoldering fire at about 10:45 Friday night at 717 Coffeen Street.
Witnesses said a person was brought from the building and was given cardiopulmonary resuscitation as she was rushed to a waiting ambulance. A neighbor believed the woman was a resident of the house, Ida J. Alteri.
The cause of the fire wasnt clear Friday night. City firefighters were awaiting the arrival of fire investigators. Witnesses said few flames were showing, and within minutes of the fire departments arrival, it appeared they had quelled them.
The fire was reported by a passing driver who saw smoke and flames.

As the head football coach of the Wisconsin Badgers, Barry Alvarez oversaw the most successful era of UW football in school history.
He led the Badgers to three Big Ten titles (1993, '98 and '99) and three Rose Bowl championships (1994, '99, and '00), making history by becoming the first Big Ten team to win back-to-back Rose Bowls.
His 118 career victories are 53 more than any other Wisconsin coach and made him just the 10th head coach to win 100 games at one Big Ten institution. And Alvarez's teams were at their best in the postseason as his 8-3 career record in bowl games is the best in NCAA history among coaches with at least 11 bowl appearances.
To celebrate his coaching career at Wisconsin and his induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, take a look back at the Alvarez era. Photos: Alvarez's Coaching Career Video: Alvarez Statue Unveiling The All-Alvarez Team

We mix together careful planning, strategy, best practices and expertise to create gamified digital experiences that are tailored to the unique needs of individual brands and their audiences. Not to mention really, really engaging.
Founded in 2011 to change the face of gamification, we draw on proven techniques and our extensive advertising background to produce a suite of solutions for brands – including social gaming, loyalty programs, CRM systems and websites.
Ignorance Is Bliss For consumers not currently considering change, we encourage re-evaluation of their
current behavior and encourage self-exploration.
Sitting on the Fence To target consumers who are ambivalent about change, we encourage the evaluation of pros and cons,
as well as identify and promote new positive outcome expectations.
Testing the Waters To get consumers to act for the first time, we identify the obstacles and assist in problem solving.
Pulling the Trigger For consumers to commit to a new behavior for 3-6 months, we focus on restructuring cues and social support
while bolstering self-efficacy for dealing with obstacles.
Sustained Behavior To get customers to commit to a behavior between 6 months to 5 years, we reinforce recognition and rewards,
plan for follow up and support to prevent relapses.

Players can also unlock different types of bowling balls and other rewards using the coins collected.

Live from Florida, Day 5: Reliever Anthony Slama adds a cutter

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A rundown of the news, notes and quotes from Monday at Minnesota Twins spring training:
Catching up with ... Anthony Slama
Right-hander Anthony Slama has been one of the Twins' best minor-league relief pitchers over the past four seasons, posting a 1.95 ERA and 345 strikeouts to just 106 walks in 249 innings across four levels.
His call-up to the big leagues in July, however, didn't go quite as well as he'd hoped. Slama allowed four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings, walking five and giving up six hits.
He was sent back to Triple-A Rochester and did not reappear as a September call-up.
Slama said he was told to work primarily on two things in his attempted transition from minor-league dominance to major-league employment: holding runners at first base and consistency in the strike zone.
"I think attacking hitters is what I lacked in the majors, and that's kind of a mental thing," Slama said Monday as he relaxed in the clubhouse after morning workouts, "but it's kind of a physical thing also, just getting on top of the ball and slowing myself down."
He added, "Sometimes when you get up there you're trying to do too much. The game kind of goes too fast for you, so you've got to slow it down mentally, which slows down the running game."
Slama, 27, said he started working on a cut fastball near the end of last season as well, which he hopes to add to a repertoire that currently includes a fastball, changeup and slider.
"That'll be a good pitch for me," Slama said. "I kind of struggled a little bit against lefties. The changeup is a bit of a take pitch for them because they see it early. And typically it'll kind of dive away from them. That's what I'm trying to get groundballs on, and a changeup isn't really a groundball pitch. So I'm hoping a cutter will kind of offset that and give me something to move in the other direction so that the changeup will be nastier."
Add Slama to the large group of relievers competing for a small handful of big-league bullpen slots this spring.
Numbers game
5.3: Number of "wins above replacement" (WAR) Justin Morneau was worth in 2010 despite missing the entire second half of the season. Morneau was hitting .345/.437/.618 with 18 home runs, likely putting him on pace for a second career MVP award.
5: Number of consecutive seasons Morneau has increased his walk rate -- from 8% in 2006 to 14.4% in 2010.
Health watch
• 1B Justin Morneau (concussion) arrived to Hammond Stadium for the first time this spring. Morneau has been cleared to participate in all workout activities with his teammates, but he has not yet been cleared to play in games. The former MVP -- who admitted he is not yet 100% -- will likely miss at least the first week of exhibition games.
• LHP Francisco Liriano (shoulder) played catch from 120 feet on Sunday, and he is likely to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday or Wednesday.
• RHP Scott Baker (elbow) threw a bullpen session Monday. According to manager Ron Gardenhire, Baker still feels some slight discomfort when throwing his changeup, but the issue is not considered serious.
"You can't draw walks in the cage."
-- Michael Cuddyer to Danny Valencia, who elected not to swing at a high pitch during a batting cage session. Valencia, Cuddyer, Jim Thome and Jason Kubel were attempting to hit home runs over the center-field batter's eye on one of the far practice fields.
On deck
Pitchers and catchers will continue working out on Tuesday with full-squad workouts commencing on Wednesday.
