With just a couple of weeks to go until she gives birth to her first child, America's Next Top Model star Lisa D'Amato admits that she and her husband, Adam Friedman, "couldn't be more excited and scared s––tless at the same time."
The 31-year-old, who revealed in May that she was having a boy, tells PEOPLE that while she's had an "incredibly healthy" pregnancy, it hasn't been fun. She's still suffering from morning sickness every day, she says, even though she's more than eight months pregnant.
"I'm usually feeling pretty bad but always trying to stay positive," she says. "When people say I'm glowing, I tell them it's because someone needs to put on the AC. That whole 'pregnancy glow' thing is a joke! There is nothing pretty about pregnancy except creating a life – other than that I think it's pretty gross."
Being a model, D'Amato admits that she'd be lying if she said she wasn't concerned about gaining weight during her pregnancy.
"I'm so disciplined with my quality of food and amount of food intake as well as my gym routine," says D'Amato, who's been doing low-impact workouts four days a week for 2½ hours, as well as swimming. "But pregnancy doesn't care what I do or how I feel or think on the matter. It has a mind of its own."
But rather than worry about it, she says she's focused on the outcome. "I only want a happy healthy baby," she says. "I can get my body back after."
Her philosophy comes in part from the "pretty traumatic ride" she's had this year.
D'Amato, who won the all-star cycle of Top Model in 2011, is still recovering from devastating facial injuries she suffered in January, after a freak accident left her with a broken nose and lacerations on her forehead, lips and chin.
"It takes a year to fully recover from my facial surgery scars and pregnancy actually makes it much more difficult to heal fast," she says.
With the accident (which happened when she was two weeks pregnant) and a baby on the way, D'Amato admits that she's had to scrap a lot of bookings that she had for shows, modeling and music video shoots but she sees it as a sign that she was "just supposed to slow down for once."
"I'm just embracing being a new mom soon, which I've always wanted to be, and laying a bit low for my face to heal," she says. "All in all, if something doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger, so I'm just adding more character to my repertoire being, as Tyra would say, 'Flawsome.' "

Reflections on one year of opensource.com | Opensource.com
Reflections on one year of opensource.com
A year ago today, we turned on the lights at opensource.com.
Our hope a year ago was to create a place where people could gather to learn about and contribute to the growing movement toward applying open source principles beyond the software industry.
You have shared your stories about how open source principles are changing your world and the world around us.
So I want to say thank you. Thanks to the opensource.com community of readers and writers who have offered their time, comments, suggestions, articles, and tweets--all to make the site a success. You helped us share more than 500 stories that highlight places where the open source way impacts businesses, government, education, the law, and our lives.
Dozens of you contributed articles--from students leading open source in their schools to luminaries like Gary Hamel, Tim O'Reilly, and Simon Phipps. These articles were read a combined 1.3 million times by over 500,000 different people. Just a few of the stories we learned about:
- How open source is having a positive impact on education. In the article series Introducing students to the world of open source," we learned how one group of college students spent two days immersed in the culture and code of the open source community.
- How open source principles are being used to help organizations innovate. Henry Chesbrough, who quite literally wrote the book on open innovation in 1995, gave a fascinating webcast presentation led by Gary Hamel. Chesbrough spoke about how companies are changing how they innovate based on openness, collaboration, and meritocracy.
- How openness begets more openness. Elphel is an open source camera used for NASA projects and for Google Street View. Fans used it to develop a high-definition, open, digital cinema camera that could be built affordably. "Apertus: The open source cinema project" tells the story behind that project, named based on the word for "openness" in Latin.
I've enjoyed following the organizations and initiatives I've discovered on the pages of opensource.com. You've taught one another, inspired ideas, and created new leaders who have emerged through their participation in the site.
This community has helped plant the seeds, yet there is much left to do. The door is open for the open source way to bring success to non-technology companies, as well as to schools, universities, governments—to the world. I eagerly await the day the open source way becomes the rule rather than the exception. Our hope will be to provide a place where we can shine a light on the progress along the way.

I agree with you Jim, I would also like to thank the community that made this portal happen.
And call out also, if you hesitate to write an article, please don't!
It's been a great year and have enjoyed learning more about the open source way.
Thanks to everyone who contributed articles, comments ,.. and to also to our administrator Jason Hibbets for the nice communications :-)

On behalf of the students and faculty at FOSS@RIT congratulations and thank you to all the folks who have made this community what it is. This is a wonderful outlet for our stories and campaigns, and we look forward to sharing even more this coming year.
@Jim Any more statistics / analytics about the site that you can share?
Thanks to the team that so diligently works on Open Source Dot Com. I really enjoyed writing for OSDC and am pleasantly surprised that some of my articles are attracting heated comments long after they were written! It is always great to have an engaged audience.
Good to know that the site completed a successful year...
Really excited and curious to know more and i have started to take serious interest in open source..thanks for being such a great source of information..
Congrats and I can't wait to see where this goes in the future.
OSS became a reliable alternative not only for professionals and geeks for their private use, but for companies and their employees in the daily routine work. In the meanwhile, you can build a whole surrounding based on OSS solutions, starting with a ticket system (f.e. OTRS, KIX4OTRS for IT service management), over inventory and SAM (f.e. opsi) on linux servers (f.e. Univention) and ERP tools (f.e. lx office). Mostly, it is about the integration possibilities and opennes between the systems that allows you to build your own IT surrounding the way you need it. Simply saying, it's about your freedom of cutomization and openness towards customers and their needs. Additionaly, you don't pay for products (mostly), but for services around product (implementation, support, customizing), so your CFO is glad to spend less money for the same level of products and services.
All looks very interesting. Looking forward to getting involved.

An interesting legal issue has come up on the Italian forum. The Library of the Milan Conservatory has posted a large scanned collection of important musical manuscripts on its website -- mostly from the 19th Century and earlier. Many of these works have never been published. Some are manuscripts of famous works, published many times.
However, the website is configured to prevent downloading of any of these manuscripts. It includes a notice stating: l'uso delle riproduzioni è regolato dal D.Lgs. 9 aprile 2003 n. 68 e dagli art. 106 e 110 del Codice dei Beni Culturali (The use of reproductions is controlled by the Law of April 9, 2003, no. 68, and by Articles 106 and 110 of the Code of Cultural Goods.)
Does this Italian law apply only to use and publication of these manuscripts in Italy -- but no where else? Or, are these manuscripts covered by international copyright? What about arrangements and editions made from the online manuscripts?
Despite the nullification of the site's downloading functions, it appears possible that these manuscripts could be copied online with a screen capture program. Could any of these manuscripts be posted on IMSLP?

Think of how doctors are trained.
Long, intensive sessions in hospitals and clinics, working with actual patients – just like the ones they will see in their own practices.
Now imagine that scenario applied to teachers.
Picture a year of rigorous training. Picture future educators working intensively with children in classroom settings – alongside professionals who have experience in the field.
It may seem like a vision that's out of reach.
But New York State has begun pushing changes in teacher training that would allow young educators to be molded like doctors, with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo calling for a new focus on making student teaching more effective.
And one local college is ahead of the pack in creating this type of program.
SUNY Fredonia State will mark the 40-year anniversary next month of its collaborative program with the Hamburg school system to provide intensive, clinical-style teacher training to college students.
"When we started this 40 years ago, 'clinically rich' was not in anyone's vocabulary," said Fredonia State professor Ann Marie Loughlin, director of field experiences for students.
No amount of training can prepare the new teacher for the excitement – and the fear – of the first day of school.
But if the teacher has been there before, it can be a big help.
That's the concept the Fredonia/Hamburg program is based on.
Unlike most student teachers, about 25 students from Fredonia can say they've been there and done that at Hamburg Central Schools, since they spend their entire senior year in Hamburg.
The collaborative will observe its 40th anniversary this year with a dinner April 19 at the Old Orchard Inn in East Aurora. It's in line with a growing national movement to give student teachers a more intensive "clinically rich" teaching experience, similar to the way doctors are trained.
A 2010 report by a blue-ribbon panel of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education advocates "sweeping changes in how we deliver, monitor, evaluate, oversee, and staff clinically based preparation to nurture a whole new form of teacher education."
The panel recommended reshaping teacher training around the clinical experience that comes in the classroom to benefit teachers in training, as well as the elementary and high school students they teach.
New York State last year awarded $3.5 million to the State University of New York – which prepares one-quarter of the state's new teachers – to implement a comprehensive teacher education initiative.
This year, Cuomo called for a "longer, more intensive and high-quality student teaching experience in a school setting" in his budget message.
Yet most student teaching programs last just a semester.
In Hamburg, on the other hand, the college students start before the first day of school in September and stay through May, when they graduate.
While in the program, they spend three days a week teaching in the fall, and the other two days taking their "methods" class in Hamburg from their college professors. In the second semester, they receive two other teaching assignments in two different grades.
"You effectively have been working full-time for the entire year," said first-grade teacher Jackie Rasulo.
She's a graduate of the program who went on to find a permanent job in Hamburg. She said the knowledge, experience and confidence she gained helped her get a job in Newark Central immediately after graduation.
"It does take a more dedicated student, because you essentially miss your senior year in college," she said.
But that wasn't a problem for Amanda Rockwood of Orchard Park.
Rockwood said she's getting a lot more out of student teaching than she would have staying in Fredonia for the final year.
"It's been wonderful, it's the best learning experience I could have asked for," Rockwood said. "I don't look at it as a negative not being on campus."
Her first placement was with Rasulo. All the textbooks and lectures in the world couldn't show her how the classroom environment is created on the very first day of school. But she was able to see how Rasulo sets up rules and procedures, and how students reacted to them as they walked in the door.
"They really adapted well," Rockwood said. "They're so excited to come to school."
After first grade, she taught seventh grade English in the Middle School, and now she is in a fourth-grade class at Armor Elementary.
The usual student teaching protocol gives college students placement in two classrooms. They arrive in September, but not usually on the first day of school.
Loughlin, the Fredonia State professor, said New York State funds two student teaching placements, and Hamburg and Fredonia fund the third placement. The district provides up to 75 cooperating teachers to take the students into their classrooms.
"Any superintendent at any point could have scrapped this," she said.
A steering committee made up of representatives from the college, students, each Hamburg school, principals and the union meets once a month.
Teachers know Loughlin monitors her students and works with them, and if they don't do well, she will give them failing grades.
Fredonia has students in 92 schools in about 50 districts, including New York City, she said.
The school starts placing students as freshmen, although formal student teaching takes place in the fourth year, and there are traditional one-semester placements.
"We've tried to work with districts to satisfy what their needs are," she said.
With teachers being evaluated on what takes place in their classrooms and how students do on high-stakes testing, some might think twice about having a college student gain experience with their students.
But Rasulo doesn't. The students help her class, she said.
It gives her the opportunity to break the class into smaller groups, with the student teacher working with one group. They also provide another set of eyes to track behavior, she said.
"I'm always learning new things, too," she said. "It keeps you on your feet."

Wednesday is Halloween, as if you didnt know.
Americans go crazy celebrating Halloween. According to The Atlantic online magazine, in 2011 we spent roughly $6 billion on the holiday. Thats a lot of Tootsie Rolls. We dont just buy candy, of course; we splurge on costumes, decorations and parties. The pie sliced like this: 36 percent is spent on costumes, 28 percent on decorations, 31 percent on candy and 4 percent on cards. Only Christmas makes us open our wallets more.
Know how much I spent on Halloween last year? Not one dime. And nobody TPd our front yard or soaped our windows. We used to buy candy for the kiddies, but the last two years we had not one trick-or-treater. None! Thats because, in our little town, the churches and gas stations offer safe, fun Halloween events. (Virtually all small town social activity revolves around churches and gas stations. And the post office, which seems to be a hot spot for romance.)
Thus, Widdle and I just sit on the porch and wave at all the little superheroes, princesses and zombies who hurry by. Whole herds of em are driven in from surrounding rural areas. Its a lot of fun, and the dog doesnt go mad from all the munchkins banging on the door.
As a child, Halloween was exciting at our house. When we came back from trick-or-treating, Dad always built a bonfire and roasted hotdogs on metal coat hangers. By that time, we kids were certifiably insane from gorging on Snickers, Three Musketeers, Reese Cups and Whoppers. (This was years before fun-sized treats.) Wed screech and chase each other around. Why we didnt all topple into the fire Ill never know.
My siblings and I wore home-made costumes, decked out as the usual suspects: Witch, hobo, fairy, cat, bee, ghost. Not long ago I ran across a tattered photo of my beloved brother, T-Bob, dressed as Strom Thurmond. His reddish hair was slicked back and he wore a suit with a wide tie and gleaming wingtips. It occurred to me, How did a 10-year-old from backwoods North Carolina know about legendary South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond?
So I called and asked him.
I wasnt Strom Thurmond, he replied instantly. I was Red Skelton. Oops.
I stopped trick-or-treating at 11, or was it 12? Whatever, I was small for my age. And that was that, except for a few times in college. One year I decided to be Madonna. Dont ask me why a sensible 21-year-old English major would put on a cone bra and fishnets to go join the drunks at Bennigans, but I did.
Another time I dressed up as Princess Leia from Star Wars. So did 15 other women at the frat party I attended. (I surely took the prize for looking ridiculous. Giant ear buns flatter no-one.)
The last time I dressed up for Halloween I went the lazy route: I borrowed my husbands tool belt, put on painters pants, a pair of hiking boots and a baseball cap and went as a carpenter. Widdle went as a blind referee (which would have been even funnier this year.)
If I ever dress up again, I want to be Lizzie Borden. Id wear a dowdy wig, velvet choker and an old-fashioned dress splashed with red food coloring. And Id carry a hatchet. Weve visited the Borden house in Fall River, Mass., and I think I could pull it off.
Only problem is, Widdle doesnt trust me with sharp objects. Go figure.

From Martinsburg:
What is the deal with six two-hour delays in the school year? Very inconvenient for parents who have to work. It is a burden.
From Martinsburg:
More than 50 years ago I heard the advice to never argue with a fool. I believe this is good advice because it is too difficult to determine which one is the fool. I cite this as a good reason why vice president candidate Ryan should not debate Vice President Joe Biden.
From Martinsburg:
I am amazed how many people believe and repeat things without checking basic facts. President Obama has signed 139 executive orders. Check the Federal Register. His executive orders are numbered l13489 to 13622. George W. Bush signed 294 in eight years, including 173 in the first four years. Bill Clinton signed 308 in eight years. You don't have to vote for Obama, but at least have an informed opinion.
From Shepherdstown:
This is the lady who needs to have the brain surgery done for my tumor. I want to thank the wonderful couple who helped me. God bless you both. You are very wonderful.
From Jefferson County:
Responding to the caller from Frederick who asks what is Mitt Romney going to say now that the unemployment figures are going down: It doesn't seem to matter, 8.1 or 7.8. There are still 23 million Americans out of work. Figure that one out.
From Martinsburg:
How could Mitt Romney be commander in chief of the United States? He avoided the draft during the Vietnam conflict under the guise of serving the Mormon Church in France, yet he is a Republican warhawk who has started war for others to fight.
From Charles Town:
To Martinsburg: We're not trying to cut the cost of the Eastern Regional Jail by letting illegal immigrants out of jail. They aren't being imprisoned for being born in another country. They're being imprisoned for being in this country illegally.
From Martinsburg:
Marsha G., please call me. Your phone is out of service, and I need to talk to you. Those DVDs and CDs are ready that you wanted.
From Falling Waters:
Why are so many rich people giving to the Obama ticket? Do they know something we don't? If he really means to raise their taxes, I don't think there are that many rich people in a hurry to give away their money.
From Charles Town:
I was invited to attend a special service at Asbury UMC in Charles Town on Sunday, Sept. 30. It was a breath of fresh air to hear the new pastor, listen to live music and feel welcomed by the congregation. Not only was the worship service exceptional, the fellowship and BBQ afterward was well planned and greatly appreciated. Thank you for the invitation. I will be back!
From Martinsburg:
I think the time is now for a new sheriff. DeHaven is the man to do the job. He will fight the drugs that are getting worse in Berkeley County, he wants to educate the kids about the harm of drugs. DeHaven is a very community-aware person. So on election day, vote for DeHaven for sheriff.
From Harpers Ferry:
I'm looking for a cord of firewood to be delivered to Harpers Ferry. Anyone have any recommendations on who to call for a fair price?
From Hedgesville:
So the employment rate dropped 0.3 percent. For you liberals, that means for every 334 people, one person either found a part-time job, full-time job or quit looking.
From Berkeley County:
We visited a new church on Sunday. The music and drums were so horribly loud we only lasted five minutes and I went home with a headache. There were several small babies in the congregation. I thought I was going to church, not a nightclub. It was so loud I think God walked out ahead of us.
From Gerrardstown:
This is to the two Martinsburg contributors who claim Romney was dishonest in the recent debate: This sounds like sour grapes to me. Your candidate simply did not understand the issues, which lead to his deer-in-the-headlights look. He did fine the next day when his aides loaded his excuses into his teleprompter, fabricating that Romney lied. Too bad teleprompters are not available in real life so your candidate might improve his dismal performance.
From Charles Town:
Note to Romney: Better steer clear of the foreign policy attacks because we associate the Republican party with two expensive and unnecessary wars. What have we gained from attacking Iraq and Afghanistan, outside of a bigger deficit and an even more dangerous Middle East?
Web exclusive Journal Junction comments
From Berkeley County:
The person trying to get from Berkeley Springs to Charles Town should have called for an ambulance or police escort if there was such a great emergency. People who turn their flashers on and drive down the road cause accidents. You are not a emergency vehicle. If you yourself have an emergency and put your flashers on, you are supposed to pull to the side of the road and wait for assistance.
From Berkeley Springs:
No one is imprisoned for being born in another country Martinsburg, just for being in another one illegally. Try living in Mexico illegally. When you're arrested tell them it's a gross inequity simply because you were not born there. Junction readers won't hear from you again. I hear there's no Internet in Mexican prisons.
From Shenandoah Junction:
To Frederick who criticized Governor Romney during last week's debate: Unemployment figures are going down because many people have simply given up looking for a job - not because they have found jobs. Keep sipping.

"We were talking about marriage," says Follieri, in an interview that took place in his native Rome. "I was very much in love with her."
But his arrest in 2008 brought an abrupt end to their four-year relationship, and the dashing Italian businessman pleaded guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering.

When he first entered prison, "I thought my life was over," he says. "But I learned to survive by focusing on getting through one day at a time."
As for his fall from grace, "I'm not a saint," he says. "But I'm not the devil."

The Pennsylvania College of Technology men's and women's soccer teams are headed for United States Collegiate Athletic Conference National Championship playoffs this week and the college's women's volleyball team in on the verge of joining them.
On Saturday, the men's soccer team claimed the Penn State University Athletic Conference championship to earn a spot in the national limelight. Earlier in the week, based on its national USCAA ranking, the women's soccer team was awarded its berth, and Sunday night the women's volleyball team played in a PSUAC semifinal match and remains hopeful of landing a national bid.
Men's soccer
Taking advantage of what it was given on offense and playing outstanding defense, Penn College blanked PSU Hazleton on Saturday to win its third consecutive PSUAC championship and eighth in nine years.
Tarik LaRoche scored two goals and Blayne Allen added the other while David Munn was perfect in goal for the Wildcats who improved to 11-0 in the conference and 15-2-1 overall.
"We were prepared," said coach Enrique Castillo, who was informed before the match that he had been named the conference's Coach of the Year for the third time in his seven years as coach of the Wildcats.
The Wildcats next travel to Asheville, N.C., for the USCAA Championships where, as the No. 7 seed, they will take on No. 2 West Virginia University Institute of Technology at 1 p.m. on Thursday in first-round action at the John B. Lewis Soccer Complex.
"We're going for the championship. That is our goal," Castillo said. "It's going to be a tough first game. West Virginia Tech is a tough team. They're very skillful, well organized, well coached and fast. They like to put pressure on right away, so they're not a team that is going to give us much time to think and make decisions. We need to react and put the ball in the back of the net."
In PSUAC semifinal action Wednesday, Ben Shade and Christian Dressler scored goals while Munn recorded seven saves in goal as the Wildcats eliminated PSU New Kensington, 2-0, to advance to the championship for the seventh straight time.
Women's soccer
For the first time since 2009, Penn College will compete in the USCAA National Championships Thursday through Saturday in Ashville, N.C. The Wildcats go in as the No. 3 seed and will face No. 6 seed Daemen College at 11 a.m. Thursday at the John B. Lewis Soccer Complex.
"Overall with the regular season, I am very, very pleased. A tie against Lyco and tie against Susquehanna speak for themselves and the program here," said coach Markus Rybak.
The coach knows his team has its work cut out against Daemen, "but if we continue to play the way we have been we have a shot of winning in the first round.
"My outlook for the national tournament is, hopefully, to win it. We just have to make sure we play well. I want us to play well, to the best of our ability, and give a good showing for Penn College."
Penn College competed in the national tourney in 2008, where it went 1-1, and 2009, when it went 1-1 and tied for third.
During action last week, after trailing 4-1, Penn College battled back to tie NCAA Division III Susquehanna University 4-4 in double overtime Thursday. Sisters Kirsten and Jamie Steer and Madilyn Walters each scored second-half goals to key the comeback. Robyn Beddow scored during the first half for the Wildcats.
Penn College closed out its regular season on Saturday with a 1-0 penalty-kick loss to Division III Alfred (N.Y.) University to go to 8-4-2 on the season.
Women's volleyball
Sunday night, the second-seeded Wildcats stopped No. 3 PSU Brandywine, 3-1, in PSUAC semifinal action at Penn State's Rec Hall to advance to today's 3 p.m. championship match against PSU Fayette, also at Rec Hall. The Wildcats enter the title match with a 17-1 conference record and are 23-7 overall.
In PSUAC quarterfinal action on Wednesday, senior Tara Powell recorded 17 kills to lead Penn College to a 3-0 (25-5, 25-16, 25-15) sweep of PSU Mont Alto. Sophomore Courtney Gernert added 11 kills while sophomore Caitlyn Curley totaled 23 assists.
USCAA pool play begins Friday. In Pool A, Penn College will face Daemen College at 1 p.m. and UC Clermont at 3:45 p.m. at the SUNY-Canton.
Matt Haile was named PSUAC Golf Coach of the Year. In his fourth season, Haile led the Wildcats to one of their strongest showings in several years with the regular season championship and a second-place finish at the PSUAC Championships.
"I definitely was excited, and shocked at the same time," Haile said. "It's just a great honor. When I first took over it was more work than I had anticipated, but over the last four years it's been pretty great. With the talent that I've had and the individuals that I've the opportunity to coach; they're just all great. The greatest thing about the job is the people you meet, the talent you see and these kids growing up. It's just neat."

It was a tough weekend for South Tahoe, but the baseball team swallowed its early losses and ended on a winning note.
South Tahoe dropped its Friday league game to Lowry 13-1. On Saturday, the boys lost the first game of a non-league doubleheader to Elko 12-5, and finished the day with a 7-6 win over Spring Creek.
South Tahoe's lone run against Lowry came from senior Tyler Sharp, who went 1-for-2 at the plate. River Quinn also contributed a hit.
The Vikings came out stronger Saturday against Elko, jumping out to an early 3-1 lead in the second inning. They held onto a 4-3 edge in the third, but Elko surged back in the fourth with six runs to cement a 12-5 win.
Key hits in the game came from Christian Coats, who only needed one hit to drive in two RBIs. Dominic Diana, Kolby Eymann and Sharp also knocked in runs for the Vikings.
Cody Higgins led the offensive, going 3-for-3 and coming across the plate twice.
Bobby Gonzales and Liam Loftis shared mound duty, each hurling three-plus innings.
The Vikings put the loss behind them later that afternoon, edging Spring Creek 7-6.
South Tahoe took a one-run lead in the second, but Spring Creek's three-run third inning tied the game at 4-4. The score remained knotted at 5-5, but South Tahoe muscled out two runs to Spring Creek's one in the sixth for the win.
Sharp, the Vikings' ace, earned the win. Sharp threw six innings, striking out five and walking three.
Loftis, Diana and Eymann were the leading offensive contributors for South Tahoe. Loftis blasted in three RBIs and went 2-for-4. Diana was 3-for-3 with a double and two runs. Eymann also went 3-for-3 with two runs and an RBI.
UP NEXT: The Vikings will host Sparks at South Tahoe High School today at 3 p.m. The softball team also plays Sparks at home at 4 p.m.

LORETTO - Chris Villarrial's third season as head coach of the St. Francis University football team has been a truly memorable one - beating Monmouth on the road for the first time in the program's history, shocking a nationally-ranked Morehead State team and defeating a Joe Walton- coached Robert Morris team in early October.
The crowd that gathered for senior day festivities Saturday was fortunate to witness some more history firsthand. Those in attendance saw the Red Flash beat Sacred Heart, 44-24, and win their fifth game of the season for the first time since the program moved up to the Division I level 20 years ago.
"It's something we had talked about when I took the job, about building a winning program here," Villarrial said.
After a first quarter in which both teams scored on field goals, the Red Flash overwhelmed the Pioneers with 21 second-quarter points, without allowing a score by Sacred Heart. Quarterback John Kelly found Kevin Parker for an 8-yard scoring pass, while Anthony Abeid sprinted 33 yards for a touchdown on the following possession. Just seconds before time expired, Kelly scored on a keeper from 10 yards out.
The third quarter commenced with a seven-play, 32-yard drive that ended with a 23-yard field goal by Thiel. That field goal made him the all-time career field goals record holder, by passing Adam Sciulli, who had 27. He also set the program's career records for points with 198 and PATs with 111.
"He had some struggles early on in his career, but he never gave up," Villarrial said. "Look at what he did today. He's had a great career. It will be tough to replace him."
Following Thiel's record-setting boot, Sacred Heart scored its first touchdown of the game, this one a 2-yard run by Keshaudas Spence. The Red Flash answered right back on its following possession with a touchdown pass from Kelly to Dane Domonkos.
Spence started the fourth quarter with his second touchdown of the game, this one coming on a 48-yard run. St. Francis, once again, did not take long to answer with a touchdown of its own, with Kelly tossing his third touchdown pass of the contest, finding fullback Dan Conley for an eight yarder. Thiel's third field goal of the game with 7:54 remaining in the game upped the Red Flash lead to 44-17. The Colonials added one more meaningless touchdown with 4:29 left.
In addition to his one scoring run and three touchdowns, Kelly ran the ball 29 times for 187 yards, for a healthy 6.4 yard/carry average. Kelly, one of the seniors honored prior to the game, talked about his final time on the field as a collegiate.
"It feels great because the seniors have been through so much together," Kelly said. "We never stopped believing. Hopefully they'll be able to carry this momentum into next season."
Villarrial spoke glowingly about his departing quarterback.
"You don't get anyone tougher," Villarrial said. "He's led us into battles."
The Red Flash finished with an overall record of 5-6 and a 4-4 record in the NEC.
Sacred Heart wrapped up its 2012 campaign with a record of 2-9 overall and a mark of 1-7 in NEC play.

The favourite game for our kids! Review by Katie
Price Value Quality
We all enjoy this game, it is very creative, and the boys make up stories to go with what is happening. I like the fact that everyone has fun, and works together to solve the puzzle. Only con I could think of might be that if you were to loose one of the playing pieces, you can't really play it anymore! Thankfully we havn't done so!!
A note from the bynature.ca family: If any pieces are ever lost with our cooperative games, do let us know! We are happy to help you obtain any replacement parts needed so you can have years of enjoyment from your games. (Posted on 10/9/12)

The Norton Simon Museum is noted for its collection of Picasso's graphic works. Among them are prime examples of the artist's progressive suites -- groups of lithographs reworked several times to create a successive group of images. Outstanding among these progressive suites is the series entitled "Le Taureau," or "The Bull," a sequence of states beginning with a realistic representation of a bull and ending with a stunning simplification of that form. In this group alone, Picasso clearly demonstrates why he is both a classical master draughtsman and the revolutionary creator of modern art.

Hands on OAuth with the playground
November 8th, 2010 1 comment
|After having an overview of OAuth, we can now get a change to watch the OAuth dance unfold before us with a great site called the OAuth Playground where we can simulate all these OAuth requests. The site allows us to see the HTTP requests behind the OAuth workflow we discussed in the previous section. For the sake of this example, try to think of the OAuth playground as a rich application where you can view your Google contacts. (Obviously, OPlayground is a technical oriented site, allowing you to see the different request on the HTTP level, but the same principles apply.

NEW CUMBERLAND-Hancock County Sheriff Mike White's office looks like the office of a man who's got one foot out the door.
The walls are empty, and everything that looks like it belongs on the walls-pictures, awards, plaques-is on the floor.
White, 57, of Weirton, can't be blamed for this arrangement, though. He just moved into the office in October, when the remodeled second floor of the Hancock County Courthouse became dedicated sheriff's department space.
Article Photos

Then, in November, he was elected to the office of Hancock County magistrate. Term limits in West Virginia prevented him from running for re-election as sheriff.
White takes the magistrate oath of office next week and assumes his new duties on Jan. 1, 2013, closing a long chapter in the lawman's life. Those mementos on his office floor bespeak a lifetime of law enforcement activity-a 39-year career about which he has very few regrets.
"I guess I feel I'm going out at a good time. ... I think I've served the public well. I did the best I could, and I think that's all that's required of a man," White said.
Reflecting on his eight years as sheriff, White said he is most proud of the department's involvement in the Hancock-Brooke-Weirton Drug Task Force, the Prevention Resource Officer program in Hancock County Schools, the department's K-9 unit, the department's Special Response Team (similar to a SWAT team), the department's aggressive traffic and drunken driving enforcement, and the department's new shooting range on White Oak Run Road.
White said he has sought to keep the department current in terms of training and equipment, while keeping Hancock County on the radar screen of state government and state law enforcement agencies. He currently is president of the West Virginia Sheriffs' Association.
White was instrumental in the state's criminalization of the hallucinogen salvia divinorum, also known as "purple sticky," in 2010, and pushed for legislation permitting the continued use of electronic surveillance by law enforcement in the wake of the controversial 2007 court decision, State of West Virginia v. Mullens.
In October, White announced that Hancock County had been designated a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area by the federal government, which should result in more funding and more manpower for the department to fight drug crime.
White said one of his chief concerns has been the continued training of his deputies. In a department with 26 sworn officers, that has sometimes been a tall order.
"I've struggled to keep the education of the deputies above the minimum standards," he said. "We have some of the finest and best-trained deputies in the state of West Virginia."
White also singled out for praise his felony investigators and the sheriff's reserves. The 25 part-time, unpaid reserve officers assist at accident scenes, high school athletic events and with search and rescue calls.
"They're just a good group of hard-working guys who want to help their community," White said.
White's career in law enforcement started in the sheriff's reserves in 1973, right out of high school. "I just always knew that's what I wanted to do," he said. "I started trying to get police jobs."
White worked for a pest control company and as a security guard for Weirton Medical Center before joining the New Cumberland Police Department as a patrolman in 1976. From there, he joined the Hancock County Sheriff's Department as a deputy in 1979.
White served as chief deputy under Sheriff Jeff Woofter and succeeded him as sheriff in 2004.
"I hope that I helped people and gave them a good outlook on law enforcement," he said. "We've tried to keep a good name, and we've served honorably."
White said community involvement and a good reputation are critical to good law enforcement.
Asked about two incidents involving his deputies that led to lawsuits, White said one "probably is a stain" on the department. In December 2006, a woman from McKees Rocks, Pa., accused Deputy Mark Smith of sexually assaulting her after a traffic stop.
Smith lost his job and was charged in the assault, receiving a one-year jail sentence. The woman sued the sheriff's department in 2008, but the suit was later dismissed.
In a 2007 incident, Special Response Team deputies shot an Ohio man in Newell while attempting to apprehend him on drug charges. The man, paralyzed as a result of the shooting, successfully sued the department in 2008, winning a settlement of $2.65 million.
White defended the actions of his officers in that incident, then added, "Even when we've screwed up, I've always been forthright with the public. ... The public needs to be assured that things aren't going to be covered up and that deputies are going to perform their duties in an honorable way."
As for his successor, incoming Sheriff Ralph Fletcher, White said his advice is, "Always be fair. Be honest. Keep in mind you work for the public."

MOUNT PLEASANT — Clemson fans who formed an orange-tinted line to get football coach Dabo Swinney's autograph aboard the Yorktown on Thursday night are mostly concerned with next season.
Can the Tigers build on last year's 11-2 record and Chick-fil-A Bowl victory over LSU? How about that opener against Georgia? And can Clemson snap its four-game skid against rival South Carolina?
But Tigers' athletic director Dan Radakovich is paid to take the long view, and he said this week's move by the ACC to lock up the media rights for the league's 15 current and future members — effectively blocking any of those schools from leaving the ACC — is "a great thing for Clemson."
"And if it's good for Clemson and the ACC, it's good for college football," Radakovich said before the Charleston County Clemson Club's "Prowl and Growl" event on the Yorktown, attended by a sellout crowd of about 550 fans. "It really solidifies the league and helps us take a few steps forward to have some real substantial discussions about an ACC network, an ACC channel.
"We couldn't do one without the other, so having our presidents sign off on this is a great thing."
The "grant of media rights" agreement announced by the ACC on Monday means that the league owns the television rights for its members through 2026-27, quelling rumors of Florida State and/or Clemson heading to the Big 12, or North Carolina and Virginia to the Big Ten.
Radakovich said those possibilities were always overstated.
"I think Clemson was there the whole time," he said. "Clemson always has been very solid within the ACC. It's home to us and the right place for us to be. Now that we are all togther and in lockstep, it's great for the conference."
Swinney said it clears the way for ACC football to focus on improving its standing as the College Football Playoff looms in 2014.
"Hopefully, it will cut back on some of the chit-chat that seems to never go away in this unsettled college football world we live in," he said. "It brings a lot of stability, and it's a great league. It's a firm statement from everybody that we are here to stay, and let's make this the premier league in the country."
For basketball coach Brad Brownell, the new ACC will mean adding Syracuse, Pitt, Notre Dame and national champion Louisville to a league that's already one of the nation's best.
"We should be sitting there with the league getting eight or nine teams in the NCAA tournament," Brownell said. "But night in and night out, the wars in the league are going to be difficult. January and February are going to be some tough basketball."
Swinney and Brownell signed autographs for a long line of fans, and Swinney said he's noticed a transformation among orange faithful in recent years.
"It's fun to see our fan base change a little bit in the last four years," said Swinney, whose teams have won 21 games the last two seasons. "Our players deserve the credit for that. They've gotten it done on the field and have represented Clemson the way the fans want it to be represented. There's a lot of enthusiasm and excitement as we go around the state, but expectations are always high at Clemson. That's what I love about Clemson nation."
• A torn ACL suffered by tight end Sam Cooper during spring practice will mean more responsibility for Stanton Seckinger, a rising sophomore from Porter-Gaud. "He just became head of the food chain at that position," Swinney said of the 6-4, 200-pounder. "It's tough to lose Sam Cooper, a crafty old veteran and a 255-pound guy who brought a lot of power to the position. Now we have to ramp up Stanton's development. We need him to come back at about 230 pounds, and I think he can do that between now and August. He's got a very bright future."
• The Berkeley County Clemson Club will hold its meeting at 6 p.m. today at the Fraternal Order of Police in Moncks Corner. Offensive coordinator Chad Morris will speak. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased from Hazel Modica (843-709-0211) or Paige Austell (843-345-8550).

Interview with Aqua Teen Hunger Force co- creator Matt Maiellaro
Pulled from: www.ifanboy.com
Aqua Teen Hunger Force has become a bonafide hit for a generation of animation and comedy fans thanks to its decade-plus long run on Cartoon Network. With that, co-creator Matt Maiellaro has taken his years of work in the trenches of animation and become an "overnight success." In addition to helping guide ATHF into its 12th season, Maiellaro has two animated pilots up for review and he's entering the world of comics with a graphic novel called The Knowbodys from Kickstart Comics.
We caught up with Maiellaro to talk about his venture from the world of cartoons into comics and the transition from surreal humor to supernatural action.
iFanboy: We know who you are, Matt... but who or what is The Knowbodys?
Matt Maiellaro: Mom and Dad work for an exclusive, secret agency called Practice, an agency which is set up to police the supernatural and keep that world in-check. So like, if you're a werewolf and you live in a human neighborhood, you'll be ticketed for disturbing the peace if you howl at the moon at 3 in the morning. Like our human society; the supernatural world has its share of good and bad. Mom and Dad have these extra sensory abilities so they are able to see the supernatural world. Mom and Dad also do their jobs in secrecy - the kids have no idea. They tend to move around a lot, putting up the front of being the All American family with nerdy jobs while really they're investigating a supernatural crime. The kids get tired of moving around, changing schools, meeting new friends while the parents are so immersed in their job they lose focus on the most important part of their lives; family.
iFanboy: But according to the previews of the book, that family life gets put aside when the parents have a job to do in New Orleans. What's the threat there?
Matt: A bunch of toys have come to life and they're threatening a pack of talking cars that just got back from Rio. Sold?
How about, a colleague of the head of Practice has broken out of prison and is threatening to disrupt the fabric of human existence. The prison is located under the Gulf of Mexico outside of New Orleans so the Knowbodys are called in to find this guy and stop him before all heck breaks loose. New Orleans is the perfect setting because it is one of the most haunted places in America.
iFanboy: You're best known for your comedic work on Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Squidbillies, but The Knowbodys. What brought you to tell this story?
Matt: The Knowbodys is serious, yes, but it's also fun and mildly light-hearted even with the stakes-at-hand, so there is a balance I think. Knowbodys has structure while an Aqua Teen Hunger Force has random silliness and tends to de-struct mainstream templates. I wanted a chance to tell a real story and follow characters on an emotional journey and that's what excited me about writing Knowbodys.
iFanboy: Besides The Knowbodys, what are your current projects right now in animation, comics and music?
Matt: I'm still making Aqua Unit Squad 1, we are about to hit season 12 and begin writing season 13. I have a pilot with Fox Animation and one with Disney XD... fingers crossed for pickups. I'm also developing the Mad Libs movie with Appian Way (Appian is run by that guy who starred in that little boat movie, Titanic). I don't have much going on musically, just noodling the guitar at home while working. I figured after playing Download at Castle Donnington last year opening for ACDC (one of many bands that did so) I deserved a break from rockin' out.
iFanboy: With a break from music, do you plan on spenting that time doing more comics?
Matt: I would love to do another comic. I have some ideas already brewing so... let's do it!
And here's five exclusive pages from The Knowbodys, which is scheduled for release this fall.

Ten-year-old Scotty Sell is considered a social butterfly, spending most of his time laughing and smiling.
But the East Amherst youth also has a severe neurological disorder, Angelman Syndrome, characterized by serious developmental delays, seizures, sleeping problems and jerky movements. Also, he says only a few words, and he's legally blind.
Children diagnosed with Angelman's have two rather unusual traits. They tend to be obsessed with water, enjoying and being comforted by swimming, bathing and showering. And they tend to have a very happy demeanor, the way Scotty does.
"He's so happy," said his mother, Rita. "He giggles. He laughs. It's amazing how happy he is. He just reminds me to find joy in every little thing."
The disorder, previously diagnosed in 1 out of 30,000 children, now is found in about 1 in 15,000 to 20,000. Friday was International Angelman Day; Feb. 15 was chosen partly because the syndrome results from a problem with the mother's chromosome 15. And the cause has an internationally known spokesman now, movie actor Colin Farrell, whose son James has the disorder.
Farrell, in a statement, called Friday's awareness day "a celebration of our children" and an opportunity "to introduce more people to both the beauty inherent in and the trials faced by those with AS."
Scotty's world exhibits both the beauty and the trials.
He adores music, everything from rock to hip-hop to country. Family members call him a rock star or the "condiment king," because of his love for sour cream, ketchup and syrup. When French toast or pancakes are on the menu, he's known for pouring syrup all over his tongue – and his face.
Through his parents, Rita and Scott, he is on a mission, to promote recognition, understanding and respect for people with Angelman's.
"We want to raise awareness, but also acceptance," his mother said. "When we go to the park, I want kids to go up to him and play with him. There's still a stigma, and parents still keep their kids away."
Scotty's life story sums up the change in awareness about Angelman's.
Born in April 2002, at 9 pounds 11½ ounces, he was taken to the Sisters Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, with significant breathing problems. He was different from the beginning, exhibiting limited eye contact and very little muscle tone. He didn't sit up on his own until 2½ and didn't walk until he was 3½. He also has had frequent seizures, developmental delays, lots of allergies, toilet-training issues, acid reflux and sleeping problems.
At age 1, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, after doctors had ruled out just about every other neurological cause.
Finally, when Scotty was 6½, a Women & Children's Hospital neurologist, Dr. Arie Weinstock, suggested that one of his medications was making his seizures even worse. He was weaned off that drug, and a year later, the doctor asked Rita Sell whether she had heard of Angelman Syndrome.
She knew about it, from her own professional training as a psychologist, but she thought the syndrome was characterized by wildly flapping arms and severe mental retardation. When she Googled the syndrome, she found about 30 characteristics, with Scotty having 29 of them.
"That was comforting," she said. "For 7½ years, I hadn't met anyone like Scotty."
At the same time, Rita Sell wonders whether Scotty would have progressed so much if they had known his diagnosis years earlier.
"I was in a healthy denial, and we just pushed him past his expectations," she said.
Like the parents of any child with a disability – or any parents – the Sells have had some wonderfully triumphant moments with Scotty:
• "He has a few words," his mother said. "He says 'Momma.' He says, 'C'mon, Mom.' I've heard him say, 'I love you, Mom.' I just melted."
Rita Sell even was thrilled by his saying an R-rated four-letter word, because it showed he could make the "sh" sound. On Christmas Day 2011, a 9-year-old Scotty went through all the gifts under the Christmas tree and read whether each one was for him, his parents or his older brothers, Ryan and Christopher.
"Once he found his pile, he plopped himself down and started opening his own gifts," his mother recalled.
Family members get a kick out of seeing what a social butterfly he is at his school, Aspire of Western New York.
"He says hi to everybody, waves to every teacher, student and adult, and if he doesn't get their attention right away, he gets louder, to make sure," his mother said. "I call him the Mayor of Aspire."
Since her son's diagnosis, Rita Sell has become more active with developmentally delayed children. She has her own business, Blessed Beginnings Family Services, which coordinates services for families needing early intervention for children with such delays.
On Friday, Sell family members were looking forward to going to Ruby Tuesday's on Walden Avenue, which was donating 20 percent of everyone's bill that day to Angelman Syndrome research.
"I always felt society looked at kids like Scotty as a curse or burden," his mother said. "But he's a blessing. This is not a mistake. This is not a mutant. There is a purpose for him being here.
"I think he's helped other kids get diagnosed earlier," she added. "That's huge."

This does not appear to be the Buffalo Sabres' year. Their attitude heading toward Wednesday's NHL trade deadline will reflect that.
"The things that we will look to add will focus on things beyond this year," General Manager Darcy Regier said by phone Friday evening. "It may include this year, but the focus is going to be on next year and maybe even beyond that. So things that we do are going to be with that light in mind."
It's little surprise the Sabres will begin looking toward the future. They are in 12th place in the Eastern Conference heading into back-to-back home games, with visits by Washington tonight and Boston on Sunday. They are 4-4-4 in their last 12 games and 13-16-5 overall, meaning they don't qualify as buyers.
Instead, Regier will focus on the buyers, but he figures draft picks might be tough to acquire.
"With the cap going down and the new contracts on the other side that have been signed, I think it's added value to draft picks," he said. "In some ways, it's going to be harder to acquire draft picks for players in the event you're trying to trade a player to get draft picks."
This week, though, three significant trades made by Pittsburgh involved picks. The Penguins included a first-rounder in their deal with Calgary for Jarome Iginla; sent two second-round selections to San Jose for defenseman Douglas Murray; and received a third-round pick along with Brendan Morrow in a trade with Dallas.
"I believe what we gave up for Douglas Murray is the market for defensemen, rental defensemen," Pens GM Ray Shero said at a news conference. "It's what you pay, and it's what the price has been over the last year."
By that logic, the Sabres should be in position to acquire picks. Blue-liners Jordan Leopold and Robyn Regehr are pending unrestricted free agents who fit the criteria as trade targets.
"Right now what I'm really trying to think about is my game and our team," Regehr said following practice in Northtown Center at Amherst. "But to say that I didn't think about it a little bit? I'd be lying to you. That's just the reality of the situation."
Regehr is among several prominent Sabres with full or partial no-trade clauses. The list also includes goaltender Ryan Miller and Jason Pominville, who can submit a list of eight teams to which they do not want to be traded.
"I haven't been asked anything. I'm not worried about it," said Pominville, who nonetheless was visibly agitated by the trade talk. "You hear your name, and I think you hear your name from people that want more followers on Twitter."
It's significant that Pominville says he has not yet been asked for a list. Pominville's agent rebuffed a report that such a list was required at the beginning of the season.
"The team has to ask Jason for the list if they have interest of dealing him," Normand Dupont said via email.
Regier declined comment on his players with clauses.
While Pittsburgh has made an early splash in the trade pool, activity elsewhere has been minimal. That should change.
"Teams generally have an order in which they would like to acquire players, so the players in front have to drop before the other moves take place," Regier said. "It's bottlenecked right now, but I think it'll open up as we get closer to Wednesday."
Part of the reason for the standstill is the number of teams still near a playoff spot. Entering Friday's schedule, the 14th-place team in both conferences was six points out of eighth.
"It's usually supply and demand as we say, but Economics 101 in this case is demand and supply," Shero told reporters in Pittsburgh. "The demand is greater than the supply."
The closer to the trade deadline it gets, the better it might be for sellers like the Sabres. For evidence they need to look back only to last year. Buffalo wanted a first-round pick for third-line center Paul Gaustad, and in the final hours it finally shipped him and a fourth-round pick to Nashville for an opening-round selection.
"The pressure builds until the buyers and sellers match and agree on a price," Regier said. "The closer you get to the deadline the prices can go up."

To meet new people who might become your friends, you have to go to places where others are gathered. Don't limit yourself to one strategy for meeting people. The broader your efforts, the greater your likelihood of success.
For example, try several of these ideas:
Above all, stay positive. You may not become friends with everyone you meet, but maintaining a friendly attitude and demeanor can help you improve the relationships in your life and sow the seeds of friendship with new acquaintances.
Joining a chat group or online community might help you make or maintain connections and relieve loneliness. However, research suggests that use of social networking sites doesn't necessarily translate to a larger offline network or closer offline relationships with network members. In addition, remember to exercise caution when sharing personal information or arranging an activity with someone you've only met online.
Developing and maintaining healthy friendships involves give-and-take. Sometimes you're the one giving support, and other times you're on the receiving end. Letting friends know you care about them and appreciate them can help strengthen your bond. It's as important for you to be a good friend as it is to surround yourself with good friends.
To nurture your friendships:
Remember, it's never too late to build new friendships or reconnect with old friends. Investing time in making friends and strengthening your friendships can pay off in better health and a brighter outlook for years to come.

Keisha Jones, the West Philadelphia woman accused of crushing her husband to death with her car last year, was found guilty of first-degree murder Friday and sentenced to life in prison.
Jones, 31, was convicted by a jury of six men and six women after a four-day trial. On Nov. 27, 2011, she hit her husband, Tyrone Taylor, with an Acura SUV after an altercation in South Philadelphia. Prosecutors contended she hit him intentionally.
Jones, who took the stand in her own defense on Thursday, has maintained that it was an accident and that she lost control of the car. She reiterated that just before Common Pleas Court Judge Barbara McDermott sentenced her Friday afternoon.
