Underhill Rose soothes the soul
Published: Friday, September 24, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.

As schoolmates at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, Molly Rose Reed and Eleanor Underhill cultivated and harvested medicinal and culinary herbs in the garden on campus, making products for students like salves, lip balms, and tinctures, and supplying the cafeteria with fresh garnishes.
They also began developing the soothing country soul music that can today be heard in the group Underhill Rose.
Molly Rose Reed strums and finger picks acoustic guitar, Eleanor Underhill adds claw hammer and folk style banjo and harmonica, and Gary Oliver provides a solid low end to the sound on upright bass.
Reed and Underhill write their music together, and possess a pure, R & B-influenced vocal sound that makes the group stand out. They always had a good blend, says Warren Wilson classmate Juan Holladay.
When Reed and Underhill met at Warren Wilson in 2002, the schools Sage Café was a breeding ground for such local performers as Jar-e, Josh Phillips, Pierce Edens, GFEs David Mack, Drew Heller from Toubab Krewe, and Holladay, lead singer of the Asheville soul band, The Secret B-Sides.
As soon as I got to Warren Wilson I started hearing about Molly (Rose Reed), about her welcoming spirit, Holladay says.
She always helps me feel comfortable and at home, in her music and in her presence. She just lets me know that the earth is my home, reminds me that Im not an alien, he says smiling.
Reed first played with Underhill in the popular local female roots group The Barrel House Mamas. They had a women songwriters night at the Sage Café, and The Barrel House Mamas came from that, Holladay recalls. It was like an all-star group of women.
They started having shows and didnt really know what to call themselves, but then somebody suggested they be called The Barrel House Mamas. The group began touring as a trio Jane Kramer Edens, Underhill, and Reed and recorded the CD, Gathering, in 2006.
Underhill grew up in a musical house her parents listened to and tinkered on all kinds of instruments. Music affects me deeply and sometimes seems to rule my life, she writes on her Myspace page.
Underhill learned some piano from her mother, some harmonica from her dad, played trombone in the 5th grade band, and picked up her moms classical guitar and started writing songs at 12.
Reed hails from Atlanta, where Underhill Rose is recording its first studio EP. Holladay can hear the influence of that city in her music. Thats where she grew up and where I think she really got the soul aspect of her music, he says.
Underhill Rose plays at Biltmore Park Town Square, on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m., as the finale of Biltmore Parks Concert In The Park series. Biltmore Park is located on Long Shoals Road at exit 37 off I-26.

UNION CITY -- A heated debate over building on protected land off Mission Boulevard emerged Friday, when development supporters trying to put an initiative on the November ballot ran into demonstrating foes at City Hall.
Leaders of the Masonic Home of Union City -- a continuing care center for about 270 senior citizens -- were there to submit about 5,000 signatures for a ballot measure seeking voter permission for their plan. They aim to build elderly care facilities, affordable senior homes, low-density single-family housing and retail space on 63 acres that hug Mission Boulevard between Whipple Road and O'Connell Lane.
The Masonic Home would build to expand its senior services while trying meet the needs of the growing number of retiring baby boomers, said Gary Charland, an executive with the Masons of California, owner of the Union City facility.
"We have a 116-year history of caring for seniors in this community," Charland said. "The 63 acres of flatlands are in our front yard and we don't want to do anything that's inconsistent with our mission."
But the property is part of 6,100 acres of land protected by Union City's Hillside Area Plan and Measure II -- known as the Hillside Protection Measure -- both of which were approved in the mid-1990s.
Save Our Hills, a Tri-City-area group, has been ready ever since to spare the hills from development. The group's members stood in the council chamber Friday, waving signs that read "No Rezoning" and "Save the Hills" as city employees counted the petition signatures.
"Save Our Hills is asking for protection of pristine views of our hills," said Elizabeth Ames, the group's chairwoman. "We do not have enough open space and agricultural land in the region."
But development proponents say they, too, want the hills protected, drawing a distinction between the hills that overlook southern Alameda County and the flatlands beneath the Masonic Home they want to develop. "We don't development in the hills, either," Charland said.
If the initiative is approved, land would be set aside for new public parks, open space, trails and a community garden, and no big-box retail store would be allowed, said Dominic Dutra, a land use consultant partnering with the Masons of California on the project.
Initiative proponents need 3,290 petition signatures to place it on the November ballot, City Clerk Renee Elliott said. After the preliminary count Friday, Union City employees planned to deliver the signatures to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters for official certification, Elliott said.
Meanwhile, opponents say they will hold more rallies.
Union City's bare, rolling hills give it a distinctly agricultural look, said resident Dennis David. "It's not about being anti-development; it's about protecting one of the signature pieces of Union City," he said, noting that the hills appear on the city's logo. "Once those hills are gone, they are gone forever.

Westeros.org's digest of feeds—covering almost all of our sites—is now being tweeted via our new twitter account, westerosorg. We'll occasionally try and tweet some small news items exclusively via Twitter when it's suitable to the microblogging medium.
For those unfamiliar with Westeros.org, we'll take a moment to introduce ourselves. We are the largest A Song of Ice and Fire fan site on the Internet, offering the widest-possible range of information for followers of the series and the author, George R. R. Martin. We cover all sorts of news related to GRRM's writing and editing projects, licensed products such as games, comics, and miniatures, convention and signing appearances, and the proposed television series.
Westeros.org had its start as the most thorough thematic resource for the series, including an exhaustive collection of correspondence and convention reports, heraldry, and fan art and maps. Finally, we host the largest fan forum (to which David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, executive producers of the series, have posted on occasion to illict comments from fans and tease with hints), the largest English-language fan wiki, the Ring of Ice and Fire webring (currently being reorganized), as well as personally running Blood of Dragons MUSH, the only current Ice and Fire online text-based roleplaying game approved by George R. R. Martin.
Through our fandom and subsequent acquaintance with GRRM, we have personally been involved in a number of licensed products, such as the first roleplaying game and The Hedge Knight comic book, we've provided research assistance and advice to license holders, and are presently signed with Bantam Spectra to co-author The World of Ice and Fire with GRRM; a section of the forum is devoted to the book, which will be published some time after A Dance with Dragons (and before you wonder, GRRM's first priority is Dance, so his participation in the writing will come only after that is completed!)
Please feel free to look around, provide comments and feedback, and participate!

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1990 Tour."
On the plus side for this show is a pretty good Split Open & Melt, a solid Donna Lee, some FANTASTIC Cactus at the start of the Slave jam, and a bit of nastiness in YEM. But the YEM doesn't finish that strong, IMHO, and there is some shakiness in it, as well as in Coil and Foam. Actually, the Foam gets absolutely sloppy. There are, however, several funny banter moments, first about Fish's dress ("The real question is, is he wearing anything under the dress") and then about Foam ("An alternative to the pill.") Despite the few sloppy moments, I'll say three stars for this.
I've gotta echo just about exactly what @TheEmu said. YEM definitely doesn't finish strong. Trey's soloing gets a little meandering, it kind of sounds like he doesn't really want to know what he wants to do, and I'm honestly not disappointed that it cuts off. However, I am disappointed that they didn't jam on Funky Bitch a little longer because Page seemed to be getting into it there at the end. Gin is short, and the ending is kind of strange and not fulfilling. Foam...meh. Jesus Just Left Chicago is probably my favorite moment from this show. Everyone sounds comfortable, especially Trey. However, I'm gonna have to play the harsh asshole on this one since I don't think it deserves quite 3 stars (and there are already two 3 star ratings) and go with 2 stars.

"The card was easy to edit to add my own words, it's great that you can change font and size of text. Overall a fantastic looking invite at a great price. Super quick delivery too."
"We ordered this card for our son's baptism and, even though we already expected them to be nice, were pleasantly surprised when were even more beautiful than anticipated. We will definitely continue using Tiny Prints in the near future because: - our invitations were delivered earlier than the estimated delivery time - our specifications were met - we got what we asked for - the cards and printed envelopes exceeded our expectations - the quality of the paper and printing was exquisite"
"I loved the detail in the border and I really liked being able to design my own edging style. There are so many fonts to choose from. The quality of the paper is great."
"I really like this invite when I ordered it online it looked great but I I received it the print was so tiny I could hardly see it. I called their customer service and they send me new invites with larger fonts looks great Amazing customer service"
"I ordered these at the last minute for my son's christening. I paid a little extra for shipping, but they came right on time. I opted for straight edges and they were perfect! I am very impressed with the quality and look/feel of the invites. They far exceeded my expectations and I am definitely ordering from Tiny Prints again!"

Knitter's Review
February 23, 2006
Last weekend the Doubletree Hotel in Portland, Maine, was overrun with knitters and spinners for the fourth-annual Spa Knit and Spin.
No matter where I looked, there were spinning wheels. Groups were set up in the lobby, the lounge, the restaurant, the meeting rooms, and even in the hallways. Those who didn't know how to spin inevitably pointed to a friend and said, "She's promised to teach me tomorrow!"
The timing is perfect because, according to the
2006 Year in Yarn calendar
, this Saturday is Learn to Spin day. Who better to teach us about spinning than the folks at Spin-Off magazine? Join me this week for a
hands-on look at how to spin with a spinning wheel
(We'll return to the third part of our silk series next week!)

Global Initiative to Combat Counterfeit Medicines
Global Initiative to Combat Counterfeit Medicines
03.12.13 | By John Castellani
The growing threat posed by counterfeit medicines warrants cross-border and public-private collaboration of the highest magnitude. Today, INTERPOL, the world's largest police organization, announced that it will partner with 29 of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies to create an enhanced pharmaceutical crime program to combat counterfeit medicines. It is a major development in our shared efforts to address this issue and will build on the progress of INTERPOL's Medical Product Counterfeiting and Pharmaceutical Crime (MPCPC) unit.
The Pharmaceutical Industry Initiative to Combat Crime (PIICC) will work with local health authorities, heads of security for the biopharmaceutical industry, police and custom authorities to identify and prosecute those who make counterfeit medicines. Much like our work with the Partnership for Safe Medicines, part of the program will focus on raising awareness of fake drugs to spotlight the dangers, which are not only potentially poisonous and deadly, but place financial burdens on both patients and governments.
According to the World Health Organization, global sales of counterfeit medicines in the marketplace and on fake online pharmacies represented an estimated $431 billion in 2012, and nearly 84 percent ($359 billion) had a direct impact on public health. Ranging from random mixtures of harmful toxic substances to inactive, ineffective preparations, pharmaceutical crime threatens the health of millions of patients and damages public confidence in the industry.
We at PhRMA believe this new program could not come at a better time, as the fake drug market is increasingly posing a direct threat to U.S. patients. The FDA has warned more than 370 doctors in 38 states that they may have purchased fake drugs for their patients' care, and just last year there were five separate prosecutions for counterfeit medications sales via fake online pharmacies in the U.S.
We are pleased that many of our members are partnering with INTERPOL's Pharmaceutical Industry Initiative to Combat Crime (PIICC) and hope this globally scaled effort will help ensure that patients in the U.S. and across the globe are increasingly protected against criminals who seek to harm them. It's the least we can do working in partnership with like-minded organizations, individuals and governments who are committed to the same goal.

Sage Francis wrote: that $9 convenience fee is amazingly wack. It's half of the original ticket price. That fee can be overstepped by getting the tickets directly from the Irving Plaza box office.
"When the advance ticket fee puts the total price over $20. i know this is probably way out of your control, but i'm wondering what the logic is behind that."
There is no good logic when you put it that way, but I guess that someone trying to save money would get the tickets from the box office and overstep the convenience fee. But for most people, they want to secure tickets ahead of time to ensure that they're able to get into the show. But, yeah, this is one of those things that's tough for fans AND artists to swallow. #OccupyTicketMaster

Joseph Aibl (1802-1834), a lithographer who had studied with Theobald Boehm, worked as a musician and music editor (Lithograph mit einer Musikalienhandlung) in Bern between 1819 and 1825. In 1825 he founded a branch in Munich. At that time, the firm also sold instruments. Upon his death in 1834, his widow took over management of the company. The firm's management again changed hands in 1837, this time to Eduard Spitzweg (1811-1884). His son Eugen (1840-1914) acquired the smaller Munich publishers Falter & Sohn (1888) and Alfred Läuterer (1892) but ultimately sold the firm to Universal Edition in 1904. Composers published by the Aibl firm include Theobald Boehm, Hans von Bülow, Peter Cornelius, Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, Alexander Ritter, Max Reger, and Richard Strauss.

A kidney relief drug worth €673m
10.10.2012 - British-Swedish Astra Zeneca pays Californian start-up Ardelyx up to €673m to get hold on exclusive rights for their NHE3 inhibitor programme.
After a setback this summer with an anti-obesity drug, Astra Zeneca is trying to pick up pace by getting hold on a new class of drugs. The small molecules developed by Ardelyx from Fremont (USA) target a sodium transporter on the surface of the intestinal epithelia. Astra Zeneca sees promising options for the treatment of diseases ranging from cardiovascular defects to diabetes or chronic kidney problems. On 8 October, the two companies announced a worldwide exclusive licensing agreement for Ardelyx's NHE3 inhibitor programme worth up to €673m. The lead compound – Phase 2-ready RDX5791 – showed activity against constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) and is also clinically tested in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Under the terms of the agreement, Astra Zeneca will pay €27m up-front. Development milestones could rinse another €184m into Ardelyx' pockets. With launch and commercialisation milestones and tiered double-digit royalties, the whole deal could yield up to €673m. Ardelyx will fund Phase II trials and Astra Zeneca further clinical development.
Aside from RDX5791, several other compounds all targeting the main transporter of sodium in the intestines, NHE3, are also subject to the deal. The effect of RDX5791 can be compared with living on a low-salt diet. Preventing the uptake of sodium ions into the body unburdens failing kidneys to eliminate excess sodium. Blocked sodium will be excreted with the faeces instead. A positive systemic effect is that no sodium will accumulate in intravascular and interstitial tissues, so hypertension and oedema formation could be effectively averted. Beyond NHE3 inhibitors, Ardelyx has three separate non-systemic preclinical compounds that are all not covered by the Astra Zeneca deal. Although targeting different molecules in the gut, they share a common property in that they are not absorbed by the gastrointestinal epithelia and are passed through the gastrointestinal tract without being altered.

MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, Md. -- In a passionate plea, an uncle of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects urged one of his nephews to turn himself in Friday, saying he had brought shame to the family and the entire Chechen ethnicity.
"Yes, we're ashamed. They're the children of my brother," Ruslan Tsarni, 42, told a throng of reporters outside his home in Montgomery Village, Md.
The suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and family members as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, brothers who had lived in Dagestan, which neighbors Chechnya in southern Russia.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old who had been known to the FBI as Suspect No. 1 and was seen in surveillance footage in a black baseball cap, was killed overnight, officials said.
His brother, a 19-year-old college student who was dubbed Suspect No. 2, escaped. He was seen wearing a white, backward baseball cap in the images from Monday's deadly bombing at the marathon finish line.
"Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness from the victims, from the injured and from those who left," Tsarni said, raising his voice.
The Tsarnaev brothers had been in the U.S. for about a decade and lived near Boston, though Tsarni said he had not seen them since he visited them in December 2005.
He said the older brother, Tamerlan, had become a devout Muslim about seven or eight years ago.
"When I was speaking to the older one, he started all this religious talk, 'Insh'allah' and all that, and I asked him, 'Where is all that coming from?'" said Tsarni, a corporate lawyer and executive.
He said his nephews had struggled to settle themselves in the U.S. and ended up "thereby just hating everyone."
Asked what he thought provoked the bombings, Tsarni said: "Being losers, hatred to those who were able to settle themselves. These are the only reasons I can imagine of. Anything else, anything else to do with religion, with Islam, it's a fraud, it's a fake."
Pressed again toward the end of the impromptu interview, he said he was not calling his nephews losers. "I'm saying those who are able to make this atrocity are only losers."
Tsarni previously told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he was not completely shocked when he learned Friday morning that the older brother was named as a suspect.
"It's not a surprise about him," he said. "The younger one, that's something else."
Chechnya was the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994. The wars saw heavy bombing of Chechnya, which killed tens of thousands, and they spawned an Islamic insurgency that has engulfed the entire region.
Tsarni, who described himself as Muslim, vehemently denied that Chechnya or Islam had anything to do with the Boston bombings.
Tsarni said his brother left the U.S. and he had not talked to him since 2009. He said they had a personal falling out but did not elaborate.
"If somebody radicalized them ... it's not my brother, who just moved back to Russia. Who spent his life bringing bread to that table, fixing cars."
He offered his condolences to the bombing victims.
"We're sharing with them their grief. I'm ready just to meet with them. I'm ready just to bend in front of them, to kneel in front of them, seeking that forgiveness."

I joked last week that my New Year's resolution was to
be more tolerant of Triathletes, as they're 1/3 cyclists.
well, being in Kona, the land of Ironman, I've already tested that resolution. More seriously, I'm working on
- More community outreach – connecting locally
- Diversity – diverse voices on Bike Hugger
- MTB – adding MTB coverage.
In 07, Andrew resolved to ride everyday and I think he did it. In 06, the challenge was to see "how long I can go riding every day."
Readers what's your resolve?
Demonstrating what bike geeks we are, we were in bed by 8:00 PM, up at 6:00 AM and riding long today South on Kona.

A joint venture, also
referred to as a joint adventure or a joint enterprise, exists where two or more
persons combine their property, money, efforts, skill or knowledge in
furtherance of a particular transaction [or course of transactions] and share in
the profits or losses from the venture. [Although a profit motive is often
recognized as one factor suggesting the existence of a joint venture, the
absence of a profit motive is not fatal to the existence of a joint venture.] The contributions of the various participants need not be equal.
The relations and
obligations of a joint venture in general are those which govern a partnership. A joint venture is a partnership that is limited to an agreement to join
together for a particular transaction [or course of transactions].
Generally, there must be a
contractual relationship between the participants. The relationship between
contracting parties cannot amount to a joint venture unless the parties so
intend. It is not necessary that there be an express written or oral contract
to form a joint venture, for the conduct of the parties and other circumstances
will often justify the inference that such an agreement existed. The relevant
criteria to determine whether or not the parties intended a joint venture
While none of these
elements alone is sufficient, and while every element may not necessarily be
present in every case, there must be a community of interest and a right to
joint control in order to constitute a joint venture.
You must determine whether
the association of <name> and [and <name>] in <description of
alleged enterprise> constituted a joint venture.
If you find that there was
a joint venture and that <name> [and <name>] (was/were) (a
party/parties) in that joint venture, then I instruct you that:
[Each party to a joint
venture is liable for the debts and obligations of the venture.] [and/or] [Each
party to a joint venture is liable for the (wrongful acts/negligence) of any
other party to the joint venture, which is committed within the scope, or in
furtherance, of the business of the joint venture.]
Doe v. Yale University,
252 Conn. 641, 672-76 (2000);
Travis v. St. John, 176 Conn. 69, 72-73 (1978); Dolan v. Dolan,
107 Conn. 342, 349-50 (1928); 46 Am. Jur. 2d, Joint Ventures, §§ 1, 8, 10, 34,
35 (2006).
There is no Connecticut
authority expressly establishing that parties to a joint venture have liability
for the debts of the venture and the torts of other parties to the venture
committed while acting within the scope or in furtherance of the business of the
venture. The liability instructions are based on the acknowledged parallel
between the relations and obligations of joint adventurers and general partners. Dolan v. Dolan, supra, 107 Conn. 349-50; Doe v. Yale
University, supra, 252 Conn. 672-76. With respect to general partners, the
Uniform Partnership Act makes general partners jointly and severally liable for
the obligations of the partnership (General Statutes § 34-327) and for the
actionable wrongful conduct of any partner acting in the ordinary course of
business of the partnership or with authority of the partnership. (General
Statutes § 34-326). The general American rule is that these same liabilities
attach to members of a joint venture. See 46 Am. Jur 2d, Joint Ventures, §§ 34,
35 (2006).
Judges are cautioned that
partnership liabilities are premised in part on the concept of agency, i.e.
that each partner of a partnership is an agent of the partnership and the
other partners when acting in furtherance of the partnership's business. 46 Am. Jur. 2d, Joint Ventures, § 34. The Connecticut caselaw on joint ventures,
however, recites a concept that, unlike partners, joint venturers are not agents
of the venture. See Dolan v. Dolan, supra, 349; Doe v. Yale
University, supra, 674. For this proposition, Doe cites only
Dolan and Dolan cites only Keyes v. Nims, 43 Cal. App. 1, 184
P. 695 (1919) where the Court of Appeals said without any citation of authority:
"In a joint venture, no one of the parties thereto can bind the joint
adventure." Id., 9. American Jurisprudence states to the contrary without any
acknowledgment of the "no agency" concept. "In accordance with the general rule
that each member of a joint venture is deemed to be the agent of the other when
acting in furtherance of the common objective, coadventurers are agents of each
other as to third parties as to all acts within the scope of the enterprise. . .
." 46 Am. Jur 2d, Joint Ventures, § 34 (2006).
Each judge charging on the
liability of a joint venturer for obligations of the venture or torts of
co-adventurers should assess the viability and impact of the "no agency" concept
under Connecticut law.

Too many peopleovervalue what they are not and undervalue what they are - Forbes
Performance is the best measure of an athlete's mental game. Let'sface it as athletes move up in rankings some unexpected circumstances willappear. At that moment, athletes will be faced with a decision on how to act,or react. An athlete's mindset has a lot to do with the response and theoutcome. Traditional sports psychology primarily teaches goal setting,visualization and self talk as primary tools to overcome obstacles.
Many approaches exist to begin strengthening your mentalgame. Time is of the essence during a competitive season, athletes requirequick results. Learning new skills does not always work well during thecompetitive season. So what if there was a faster approach? Instead of addingsomething onto their training the ideal approach is to remove the obstacle causingpoor performance.
Four primary categories create performance blocks.
1. Affect has to do with feelings and emotions. Emotionsdirectly impact response and perception. This crops up as anxiety, anger,shame, fears and disappointment.
2. Cognitive explores an athletes mental process. Thisincludes perceptions, memory and problem solving. Intelligence stems from thecognitive part of the brain. Cognitive barriers are expressed by low selfconfidence, perfectionism and blaming others
3. Conative is the desire to act on thoughts and feelings.Think of this as willful action. Low motivation, conflicts between opposinginterests and extreme desire are conative factors.
4. Behavioral domain casts a wide umbrella including actions,thoughts and feelings. Athletes getting into fights, overtraining, poorcommunication and pushing either too hard or not hard enough face behavioralchallenges.
This new experiential approach requires highly specific informationand clarity concerning current challenges. After identifying the problem theathlete goes a little deeper to look at the underlying meaning. Why is thisnecessary? Well actions are the easiest way to recognize a problem, but theyonly scratch the surface. To fully understand performance issues it isnecessary to understand its root cause.
People by nature, including athletes, are storytellers. Learningthe story, and its underlying meaning, is necessary for long lasting change.When an athlete recognizes their story, then they have a choice. Keep it orchange its meaning. When something is working against an athlete, causing aninternal struggle, then it is time to modify the story.
Basically two distinct types of obstacles affect performance,external and internal. Technical problems, conditions and delayed starts aresome external problems. Physical and psychological factors lead to internalissues. Physical challenges would be injury, illness, substance abuse andfatigue. Psychological issues revolve around emotions, perceptions and actions.Any one of these factors alone will impact performance. Several occurringsimultaneously without resolution create troubled athletes.
So what's next? Changing perspective and meaning clearsperformance obstacles. Wherever the athlete is ready to get to work is the bestplace to start.
1. Discovery. Generalizations just don't work. Learn why theathlete is uncomfortable. Detect whether the problem is external or internal. Athletestaking responsibility for their actions and perspective is the first step inthe process.
2. Choice. Often several different issues occur at the sametime. It is rarely just one problem affecting an athlete's performance ormotivation. Attempting to solve several issues simultaneously is ineffective.Choose one specific problem to work on at a time. Where to start? The bestplace to start is the one the athlete is most motivated to focus on right now.
3. The Story. What is the athlete experiencing? Identify anyunderlying fears or meaning. Search for the root cause. Ask questions todiscover the first time something like this was experienced. Clearing the rootcause along with its story brings about an immediate transformation. This iswhere breakthroughs happen.
4. Reframe. Changing meaning, perception and response is thedesired outcome. A great place to reframe is around black and white thinkingalso known as all or nothing thoughts. The world is rarely black and white.Building balance into the story begins to change its meaning. Rules are anotherreaction which can be readily modified. Rules sound like this: "If thishappens, then this is the response." The ideal goal is to step out of the box,developing a new response.
Moving up in rankings necessitates personal growth. Allathletes experience a psychological barrier at some point in their career.Inner conflicts create struggles leading to performance issues. Periodicallyathletes are faced with old beliefs causing them to stumble. Many timesathletes can overcome these hurdles on their own. Persisting challenges,however, affect confidence.
Athletes rarely hesitate to seek out a coach to improvephysical performance. Take the initiative to find the right support to build asolid mental game. Performance coaches are trained to work through mindsetchallenges. Making the decision to take action is a powerful first step.Reaching out for the right support frequently brings relief, recognizing it isthe first step toward a solution.
Activity: Identify a recent competition where you weren'tsatisfied with your performance. What was one which bothered you the most? Listthe reasons your performance was off. Include what prevented you from regainingfocus. Now list all the ways this challenge can be approached. If you are readyto turn things around, what first step are you willing to take now?
"An athlete is a normal person with the gift of an undying passionto be the best and achieve greatness." AmandaRing
Over time most athletes are goingto suffer injury. It is a given. In an ideal world if you knew you were goingto be injured, it would be great to schedule the injury at the beginning of theoff-season. Unfortunately it rarely happens that way.
No matter when you are injured itis going to upset your life, training and season. The strategy is to deal withit in the best possible way. The goal is to return to play as quickly aspossible.
When faced with an injury, athletes respond in one of two ways. The levelof motivation determines how quickly an athlete returns to play. Responses rangefrom viewing the injury as a reason to take a break, nursing the injury for aslong as possible to the athlete who is determined to do what is necessary toquickly return to play.
Yes, some things just take time. There are, however, some things athletescan do to speed up the process. For athletes on the injured list mindset makesa difference. Motivation, attitude and commitment are powerful contributorshelping to speed up the healing process.
Specific characteristics help to speed up the healing process.
When your heart is set on healing in time for the event of a lifetime,there is no room for doubt. It was the belief of what was possible which pushedyou to excel in your sport. That attitude, and skill set, can be applied tohealing. The process is similar. It is something you already know how to do.
Although healing seems passive, it is a very active process. Constantactivity is occurring under the surface. Sitting on the sidelines is difficult.Instead of feeling sorry for yourself use this time to your advantage. Thereare ways to improve as an athlete which are overlooked when training.
Injury is always apossibility, but many athletes lose confidence with prolonged recovery times.The fear is an emotional response to a specific event. With the right tools itcan be easily overcome.
When using mental game strategies to create a positive mindset, athletesfocus on their full potential. A champion mindset makes a point of focusing onthe positive instead of the negative. Reframes are useful tools for shiftingperspective around from negative to positive. In fact with reframes the endresult is usually the same. Changing to a positive focus shifts an athlete's attitudefrom passive to active.
Activity: Athletes are used to setting performance goals, along with milemarkers, to maintain high performance. Use the same strategy for recovery. Setlong term goals with benchmarks along the way to stay focused on healing andquickly returning to play.
In fact challenge yourself. See if you can decide on an earlier return toplay date than expected. Stretch yourself a little and see if you are up to thechallenge to mentally focus on what is possible to heal as quickly as possible.Making a decision, then acting with intention to do whatever is necessary,influences outcome driven goals.
Have you been training for an important event and ended up with aninjury, throwing everything off course? It is easy to become discouraged.Winning athletes look for opportunities to move beyond the current obstacle.Apply this principle to take charge of the healing process.
Success begins with a positive mind-set. Combining your physical training with a winners mindset creates a comprehensive training program to deliver quick results.

Hi all,
New to PMS and so far it looks like a good program.
My problem is after I finally got it setup correctly on both the PC and being seen by the PS3, initially it saw all my drives, C and a usb drive I had plugged in at the time. I navigated through the directories and it seemed to recognise my video files of all formats, even mkv and flv types. But I wanted to limit the shared files, mainly because I didnt want to keep navigating from the C root. So I selected to see the My Videos directory in My Documents. I clicked save and reset server, which it did.
Then I went to the PS3 and clicked the PMS and it started at My Videos as planned. So I clicked My Videos folder and now it doesnt list any video files in the directory!? What happened?

Unlike last year when warm winter temperatures created thin ice problems for the annual Sleepy Eye Sportsman's Club Ice Fishing Derby, this past Sunday temperatures were above zero and drew hundreds of people to Sleepy Eye Lake.
The Super Bowl Sunday event registered almost 800 fisherman. Every registered person was entered into a drawing for door prizes that included a Power Ice auger or a Buddy Heater. Each child who entered the contest received a back pack.
"We probably had about 1300 people on the lake," said Lynn Krenz, director of the fishing derby. "This is the biggest derby we've had." Krenz noted the last largest derby where 700 people registered was in 2009. Krenz attributes the ice conditions and the good weather that drew such a large crowd.
Club members were on hand to drill holes and offered a shuttle service to bring people on and off the lake.
Bruce Haala from Sleepy Eye won the grand prize of a 2012 500 cc Can-Am ATV Outlander with a trailer.
Cash and trophy prizes were given out for the four largest fish in the game and pan fish categories.
For game fish, Brian Engholm won first place with a four pound eight ounce northern. Second place went to Nate Zins with a four pound one ounce bass. Shea Evers placed third with his three pound five ounce northern and Natalie Sellner was fourth with a 3.25 pound northern.
In the pan fish category, Dave Armstrong placed first with a .54 ounce crappie. Kode Ande took second with his .48 ounce sunfish. Third place went to Jerrod Hall with a .43 ounce crappie and Carter Fromm placed fourth with a .38 ounce sunfish.
"It was a good tournament all around," Krenz added. "Without the area businesses and the volunteers it wouldn't be the success that it is."

OAKLAND -- The A's reinstated left-handed pitcher Eric O'Flaherty to the active roster Thursday after a lengthy stint on the disabled list.
O'Flaherty was signed this offseason, while he was in the midst of recovering from surgery on his left elbow. To that end, the A's placed him on the 60-day disabled list at the end of spring training.
He last pitched in a game May 17, 2013, as a member of the Atlanta Braves. He said he is eager to make his A's debut.
"I couldn't sleep last night," O'Flaherty said before Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. "It's a big day. It feels like opening day."
The A's designated left-handed reliever Jeff Francis for assignment to make room for O'Flaherty on the roster. Francis had a 6.08 ERA in nine games for Oakland this season. He posted an 0-1 record and pitched 131/3 innings overall.
O'Flaherty, 29, is expected to replace Francis as a late-inning reliever and setup man for closer Sean Doolittle. He is in his ninth season in the majors but first with the A's.
For now, though, manager Bob Melvin said he intends to ease O'Flaherty back into the flow of things after such a long layoff.
"I'd like to get him in some games before we get him pitching in the seventh or eighth inning with two on," Melvin said. "Having said that, you never know how the game's going to play out. He's ready for just about anything."
O'Flaherty enjoyed sustained success for the Braves the past five seasons, and he gained a reputation as a pitcher that could get out right-handed and left-handed hitters on a consistent basis.
Adding a pitcher of O'Flaherty's caliber to the bullpen midseason gives the A's a nice little jolt, Melvin said. O'Flaherty said he's just looking to carve out a niche.
"It's cool to join a team this good and a bullpen this deep, where there's not going to be too much pressure on me to really shoulder too much of a load," O'Flaherty said. "I can just kind of get in where I fit in and help any way I can."

PINEHURST, N.C. -- Not even Martin Kaymer was immune from a Pinehurst No. 2 course that restored the reputation of a U.S. Open.
He threw enough counterpunches Saturday to leave him on the cusp of his second major.
On a broiling day with some wicked pin positions that yielded only two rounds under par, Kaymer rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to salvage a 2-over 72 and take a five-shot lead into the final round.
Only one player in U.S. Open history has lost a five-shot lead in the final round, and that was 95 years go.
"I didn't play as well as the first two days, but I kept it together," said Kaymer, who won the 2010 PGA Championship.
Kaymer hit a 7-iron from the sandy area left of the fairway on the par-5 fifth hole to set up a 5-foot eagle putt, and his birdie on the final hole put him at 8-under 202.
Only the names of challengers changed, but they were sure to stir up the crowd -- and the emotions.
Erik Compton, a two-time heart transplant recipient and perhaps the most remarkable story on the PGA Tour, rolled in a 40-foot putt on the 11th hole for one of his six birdies in a round of 67. He was tied at 3-under 207 with Rickie Fowler, a favorite of young golf fans who also had a 67.
Only six players remained under par, and considering no one has come from more than seven shots behind in the final round to win a U.S. Open, they might be the only ones left with a realistic chance to catch the 29-year-old German.
Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson each shot 70 and were at 2-under 208. Brandt Snedeker had a 72 and was another shot behind.
Asked how much that birdie mattered on the 18th hole, Kaymer said, "One shot. If you're four shots, five shots, six shots, if you play a golf course like this, it can be gone very quickly. You could see it today.
"So the challenge tomorrow is to keep going and not try to defend anything. So we'll see how it will react tomorrow, how the body feels and how I handle the situation."
Kaymer had his way with a softer, more gentle Pinehurst No. 2 by becoming the first player to open with 65s to set the 36-hole record at 10-under 130. Some players wondered what tournament he was playing.
There was no doubt what it was on Saturday.
Toru Taniguchi shot an 88. Brendon Todd, playing in the final group with Kaymer, had a 79.
Phil Mickelson had a 72 and was 13 shots out of the lead. He'll have to wait until next year to pursue the only major keeping him from the career Grand Slam. Adam Scott, the world No. 1, made bogey on all but one of the par 3s and was 11 shots behind after a third-round 73.
Kaymer nearly joined the parade of players going the wrong direction.
He ended an amazing streak of 29 holes without a bogey by failing to get up-and-down from short of the second green. Trouble really was brewing on the fourth hole, when he pulled his tee shot into the trees and couldn't play his next shot.
The ball settled in a washed-out section of sand, next to a 6-inch pile of pine straw. He took a one-shot penalty only after learning he could move the pine straw as loose impediments before he took his drop.
"It's all loose. How should I know what's not loose," he asked USGA President Tom O'Toole.
He punched out to the fairway and holed a 15-foot putt to escape with bogey. In the sandy area again on the next hole, Kaymer ripped a 7-iron from 202 yards that caught the front portion of the green and stopped pin-high for his eagle.
His long birdie putt on the par-3 sixth rolled off the back of the green for another bogey, and Kaymer dropped two more shots with three-putt bogeys, one of them from just off the green at No. 15. He also saved par with two putts from off the green, and the birdie was big.

Het geheim van Matsuoka (1947)
Marc Sleen is one of most prominent Flemish comic artists from the post-World War II period. He is best known for his long running comic series 'Nero', a clever mix of typical Flemish nonsense and current events. Sleen was born as Marc Neels in Gentbrugge, and grew up in Sint-Niklaas, where he attended the local Art Academy from age 14. Young Marc Sleen showed an early talent for drawing, and was an active member of the local scouts group. The Sleen family returned to Gentbrugge in 1938, and Marc fled to the French Limoges area with his scouts when the German invaded Belgium. Sleen was eventually arrested and tortured by the Sicherheitspolizei in 1944 because of his brother's activities in the resistence.
Stropke en Flopke in 't Kapoentje (1949)
He narrowly survived and spent the final months of the German occupation with a baker in Ghent. Sleen started his career drawing caricatures and political cartoons in the Catholic newspaper De Standaard in 1944. The paper was later renamed De Nieuwe Standaard and eventually De Nieuwe Gids. Inspired by contemporary comic artists like Willy Vandersteen and Bob de Moor, Marc Sleen also started an impressive production of comics. In December 1944, his first comic, 'De Avonturen van Neus', about a man with a very big nose, was published in the weekly magazine Ons Volk, and continued in the children's supplement Ons Volkske from March, 1945. It was followed by 'De Avonturen van Tom en Tony' (1945), 'Piet Fluwijn en Bolleke' (1945), 'De Avonturen van Stropke en Flopke'(1946) and 'Pollopof' (1946), that all started in Ons Volk and were later continued in other magazines, such as Ons Volkske, 't Kapoentje and Ons Zondagsblad.
Tour de France cartoon from 1950
In the following years, Marc Sleen made numerous illustrations, caricatures and comics for these Belgian newspapers and magazines and others, such as De Spectator, Ons Zondagsblad, De Nieuwe Gids and De Nieuwe Standaard. Especially the cartoons he made about the Tour de France between 1947 and 1964 are well-known. Marc Sleen took part in the Belgian Salons of Flemish Humor from 1952 until 1963.
Illustration for Ons Volk, 1944
In 1950, Sleen's most famous character appeared in print for the first time in De Nieuwe Gids: 'De Avonturen van Nero en zijn Hoed' - although the likeness of Nero was already present in three stories dating from 1947, 'De Avonturen van Detectief Van Zwam'. This comic was additionally published in Het Nieuws van den Dag between 1948 and 1950 and from 1951 on, the series was officially called 'De Avonturen van Nero & Co' and published in Het Volk after the disappearance of De Nieuwe Gids. The strip was more absurd than the competing Vandersteen strip 'Suske & Wiske', and although it featured many winks to current affairs, the cheaply published black & white books were widely sold.
By 1950, Marc Sleen was the editor of 't Kapoentje, Het Volk's children's supplement. He developed a new version of the title comic, called 'De Lustige Kapoentjes', a strip about a gang of youngsters that served as a follow-up with 'De Vrolijke Bengels' by Willy Vandersteen. The comic became one of Flander's most popular children's comics, and has known many variations following Sleen's departure from Het Volk in 1965. Sleen also resumed his earlier comic 'Piet Fluwijn en Bolleke' in 't Kapoentje.
Nero - De Zesde Kabouter (1977)
Marc Sleen took his increasingly popular 'Nero' strip from newspaper Het Volk to publisher De Standaard, who offered book publications with color printing, a dream come true for comic artists of that time. Marc Neels found himself in several licensing fights over his other characters and their names. For instance, when he withdrew 'De Lustige Kapoentjes' from the paper 't Kapoentje, a legal fight ensued: the paper gained rights over the name, and Sleen over the characters. This resulted in the strange situation that Hurey drew new stories with Sleen's old characters for Pats, while Jef Nys and later Jean-Pol and Karel Boumans drew 'De Lustige Kapoentjes' with new characters for 't Kapoentje.
Marc Sleen's farewell drawing from 31 December 2002
Marc Sleen has single-handedly written and drawn almost 200 albums of 'Nero', although in the last ten years with assistence from Dirk Stallaert. Sleen retired from his character in 2002, after 55 years, with the story 'Zilveren Tranen'. Nero and the other characters in the series, such as Madam Pheip, Abraham Tuizentfloot, Petoetje and Petatje, the genius Adhemar, Jan Spier and Kapitein Oliepul have firmly established themselves in Belgian comic history. To escape from his daily deadlines, Sleen embarked on annual safaris through Africa for a period of 35 years. He has written books about his safari's and also made a couple of TV documentaries called 'Allemaal Beestjes' for the BRT.
Drawing for the occasion of the 80th Nero album
Marc Sleen did not limit himself to 'Nero', but created many more memorable comic characters. He created new (silent) comic strips like the gag strips 'Doris Dobbel' in De Middenstand (1950-67) and 'Octaaf Keunink' for Ons Zondagsblad (1952-65), but also 'Joke Poke' (1950-51), 'Stropke' (1950-52) and 'Fonske' (1951-60). Besides this, he also found time to make drawings for advertisements and the Belgian broadcasting company BRT.
In 1997, when Nero turned 50, the Belgian Center of Comics dedicated an important exhibition to Sleen's most popular character, and its author was knighted by the Belgian King Albert II. Note that both King Boudewijn and King Albert II of Belgium learned the Dutch language by reading 'Nero'. Two books about Nero were printed at the same time: '50 Jaar Nero' by Y. Kerremans and Pascal Lefèvre, and 'De Politieke Memoires van Nero' by L. Demedts and Sleen himself - both at publisher De Standaard. King Albert opened the official Marc Sleen Museum in the Zandstraat in Brussels, the same building were the offices of De Nieuwe Gids were located when the first 'Nero' was drawn.
In Sleen's work, influences can be traced of Eugeen Hermans, Hergé, Elzie Segar and Willy Vandersteen, while Sleen himself has inspired authors like Willy Linthout, Urbanus, Kamagurka, Jean-Pol, Luc Cromheecke, Hec Leemans, Marc Legendre, Dirk Stallaert and Erik Meynen in Belgium, and Martin Lodewijk, René Windig and Eddie De Jong in the Netherlands.

Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show' Debut Pulls Strong Early Ratings
In his first night as host of NBC's Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon drew 11.3 million viewers, according to preliminary numbers released by NBC, the second biggest audience for the late night show since 2009.
The audience is nearly three times this season's average viewership for the Tonight Show which until earlier this month was hosted by Jay Leno, long the late night ratings king who had hosted the show since 1992.
Still, the turnout is a bit artificial, as it launched off NBC's popular primetime winter Olympic Games coverage. The show started at midnight, 25 minutes later than its regularly scheduled slot of 11:35 pm. As a result, it didn't go head to head with CBS's David Letterman and Walt Disney Co.'s ABC's Jimmy Kimmel, both of whose late night shows start at 11:35.
Mr. Leno's final night on Feb. 6 drew 14.6 million viewers, well ahead of his season average of 4.1 million total viewers.
Mr. Fallon's move into the 11:35 slot is part of a generational shift in late night, which began in earnest last year, when ABC moved its younger late night host Mr. Kimmel into his new home at 11:35. There, for the first time, he went head to head with the aging titans Mr. Leno and Mr. Letterman.
While Mr. Letterman's contract with CBS is through 2015, it is unclear what the longest standing late night host will do then or who will ever inherit his job.
ABC's gamble was much like NBC's: that younger hosts would eventually translate into younger audiences. These audiences have been causing upheaval in the television world, with some departing broadcast for cable shows like Jon Stewart and cartoon programming on the adult network Adult Swim and others spending time with one of the many web offerings, like Netflix.
So far, the 46-year old Mr. Kimmel, has had a strong run. While he has settled into third place in total audience, pulling in an average 2.55 million viewers through February 9, according to Nielsen, Mr. Kimmel has maintained a solid second place in viewers 18 to 49 years old, the most desired category for advertisers.
What the future holds for Mr. Fallon's show is impossible to predict from one show. NBC tried a transition once before, with dim results. In 2009, the network replaced Mr. Leno with the younger Conan O'Brien. The ratings started out strong, but soon tailed off, causing NBC to return Mr. Leno to his 11:35 slot.
Like Mr. Kimmel, Mr. Fallon's strength in part lies in his commanding presence online. His skits regularly appear on YouTube, drawing scores of views, and he has 11.6 million followers on Twitter.
Presence on the web will be an increasingly vital piece of the new race for the late night mantle, said Brad Adgate, head researcher at Horizon Media. "I think streaming will play an important part on the success of these talk show hosts."

First of all, she's fine. Minor scratches and maybe some mild bruising, but nothing that should prevent you from laughing at her misfortune.
An unidentified 56-year-old Southie thought she was saving herself some time by boarding a Boston subway station escalator with her motorized scooter.
As it turned out, she wasn't.
MBTA CCTV cameras captured the woman's run-in with technology as the mobility device succumbed to logic and flipped over. An MBTA employee rushed over to stop the moving stairs, and passers-by helped the woman to her feet.
She reportedly walked away from the scene unscathed.

Good stuff
Great jazz
Seen & heard
Loud and clear
Ever had difficulty getting through to an unruly teen? One mom had a new approach to parents' never-ending quest to lay down the law -- by bringing in the actual law.
Overheard on the police scanner in the San Ramon area, a mother reported her son had walked away from the family home, and wanted officers to lecture him about "obeying his mother's rules."
Bet someone knows who's boss now.

Jan. 19, 1951 Top stories of the Pleasanton Times
Headline: "Comprehensive Rural Census by Sheriff's Reserve Begins"
One of the most comprehensive surveys ever made of the unincorporated area of Pleasanton and Murray townships got under way as 124 members of the sheriff's reserve began a civil defense census.
Forty-five reserve members have begun circulating the census form, given out copies of the government pamphlet "Survival Under Atomic Attack' and sought recruits for first-aid classes.
The form requires information on each person, numbers and kinds of vehicles, the type of communications available and amount and kind of heavy equipment such as tractors. Water supply and fuel storage are also surveyed.
Residents will be asked how much food they usually have on hand, the number and kind of live animals they have and how many evacuees they could take into their homes if it became necessary to clear neighboring areas under attack.
Headline: —'Weak, Unprepared, Disunited Russia Bluffing Free World' UC Professor Tells High-School Forum"
Even if "calling Moscow's bluff" in international affairs could unfortunately and unexpectedly lead to a third world war, that war would be short and won by the free world.
This was the hope held out by Dr. Robert J. Kerner, Sather professor of history at the University of California, in his lecture to those attending the forum at Amador Valley High School.
He said the reason for this is "the Moscow Politburo is unable to fight a world war now and will be unable to do so for some time to come. It is far from being prepared for such a conflict because Russia is still a relatively backward state. That is why Moscow prefers local incidents and local wars to achieve the conquest of the world. It is, therefore, bluffing about a third world war at the time; it doesn't want to fight a war until it can win in the future," he said.

This idea for crafty fun is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Enjoy crafting with your kids!
Are your puzzles missing a few pieces? Have they been loved to death? Do you want to give them some new life as a gift for a special friend or family member?? Then this project is for you!
To start, you will need an old wooden puzzle that is missing a piece or two.
Next, flip the pieces over and invite your child to paint on the back of each puzzle piece. Any non-toxic and water-soluble paint will work well for this. My daughter enjoyed experimenting with different patterns and designs to make each one completely unique! Of course, I couldn't resist painting a few of these myself!
Other options to explore include stickers, markers, or even small photos to glue on! We loved how the pieces held up to several layers of paint, and apparently polka dots are very popular in our household at the moment.
Allow the puzzle pieces to dry, then attach a magnet (or two) to the other side for a one-of-a-kind useful gift that is not available in stores everywhere!
Have fun!!

Miley Cyrus apparently got Kanye West's attention.
Following her controversial performance at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, Cyrus skipped the show's after-parties and went to a New York City studio to record with West, reports the New York Post.
The Post says the two embarked on a late-night, "top secret" collaboration.
There's so many ways to interpret that, we'll just play it straight and hope for the best.
The paper said Cyrus will appear with the rapper on a remix of his "Black Skinhead," as part of a remix EP scheduled to be released later this year.
And if that wasn't enough to excite your kids into learning how to twerk, know that Cyrus has recorded a new track with Justin Bieber called, surprisingly enough, "Twerk," according to E! News.
The up-tempo song, which also features Bieber's buddy Lil Twist, hasn't officially been released yet.

6.11-1 Risk of Injury to a Minor (Situation Prong) -- § 53-21 (a) (1)
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with risk of injury to a minor. The statute defining this offense imposes punishment on any person who wilfully or unlawfully causes or permits any child under the age of sixteen years to be placed in such a situation that the (life or limb of such child is endangered / the health of such child is likely to be injured / the morals of such child are likely to be impaired).1
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Placed minor in a
The first element is that the defendant wilfully or unlawfully caused or permitted a minor child to be placed in a situation inimical to the child's (moral / physical) welfare. The statute requires wilfulness or unlawfulness in causing or permitting the child to be placed in such a situation. This means that the conduct of the person is deliberately indifferent to, acquiesces in, or creates a situation inimical to the child's (moral / physical) welfare.
"Wilfully" means intentionally or deliberately.2 "Unlawfully" means without legal right or justification. Causing or permitting a situation to arise within the meaning of this statute requires conduct on the part of the defendant that brings about or permits the situation to arise when the defendant had such control or right of control over the child that the defendant might have reasonably prevented it.
Element 2 - Risk to minor
The second element is that the situation (endangered the child's life or limb / was likely to injure (his/her) health3 / was likely to impair (his/her) morals). [As used here, "morals" means living, acting and thinking in accordance with those principles and precepts that are commonly accepted among us as right and decent.4]
I want to stress that the state does NOT have to prove that the defendant actually did (physically injure / injure the health of / impair the morals of) the child. Rather, the state must show only that the defendant's behavior was LIKELY to have done so. "Likely" means in all probability.5 Thus, the state must show that it was probable that the conduct of the defendant would (physically injure / injure the health of / impair the morals of) the child. There is no requirement that the state prove actual harm to the child.
[<Insert if appropriate:>6 The defendant need not have had the specific intent to (physically injure / injure the health of / impair the morals of) the child, only the general intent to do the act that resulted in placing the child in the situation. <See Intent: General, Instruction 2.3-1.>]
Element 3 - Minor under 16
years of age
The third element is that at the time of the incident, the minor child was under the age of sixteen years. This means that the child had not yet had (his/her) sixteenth birthday.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant wilfully or unlawfully caused or permitted the minor to be placed in a situation, 2) the situation (endangered (his/her) life or limb / was likely to injure (his/her) health / was likely to impair (his/her) morals), and 3) the minor was under 16 years of age at the time.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of risk
of injury to a minor, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other
hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not
1 The court should instruct the jury on only the type or types of injuries alleged and supported by the evidence. State v. Burton, 258 Conn. 153, 162-63 (2001) (trial court improperly read entire statute).
2 "Under the situation portion of § 53-21 (1), wilful means doing a forbidden act purposefully in violation of the law." (Emphasis in original; internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Padua, 273 Conn. 138, 161 (2005).
3 "Health" under this portion of the statute includes mental health. State v. Payne, 240 Conn. 766, 772 (1997).
4 See State v. Payne, 240 Conn. 766, 782-83 (1997) (not improper to instruct jury to apply community standards).
5 See State v. Romero, 269 Conn. 481, 492 (2004).
See State v. Pierson, 201 Conn. 211, 217 (1986) (instruction need not
include principle of general intent unless evidence suggests that the
defendant's conduct was involuntary).

Redskins' RG3 gets a copy of 'Cool Hand Luke'
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 5:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 5:09 p.m.
WASHINGTON — Robert Griffin III is getting a copy of "Cool Hand Luke."
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Friday he's sending his rookie quarterback a DVD of the movie.
Shanahan compared Griffin to the 1960s Paul Newman character after the Thanksgiving win over the Dallas Cowboys. Shanahan said Griffin is the type who "doesn't get too upset about anything."
But RG3 had no idea who or what "Cool Hand Luke" is, telling reporters it must be someone "pretty cool."
So Shanahan says he's texted Griffin to let him know it was a complement that he understood why a 22-year-old quarterback wouldn't know anything about a movie that's 45 years old.
Another new description of Griffin is "MVP candidate" after two impressive wins that have revitalized the Redskins' playoff hopes.
