My mom used to tutor kids during the summer at the library, and my brother & I would hang out there all day... it still feels like home to me. I love the quiet, the old book smells and the new book smells, and the plethora of knowledge and make-believe.
I used to get lost in Nancy Drew novels and guilty pleasures like the Sweet Valley High books when I was in 6th grade. I remember the first time I read The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe and being lost inside that book. And I'll never forget my first reading of Jane Eyre-during winter break, with the snow falling outside, as a young girl; lengthy as that book is, I didn't want it to end.
1. Book that changed your life: Evidence of Harm by David Kirby & What the Bible Says About Healthy Living . (And of course a book that continues to change my life is the Bible- in many versions!)
2. Book that you've read more than once: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte- I love to revisit this one every 5 years or so! Same with Pride & Prejudice, but give me the A & E mini-series anyday!!!
3. Book you'd want on a desert island: Maybe the complete novels of Jane Austen would be nice, as well as The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics, and definitely William Shakespeare's Complete Works. And then of course a book about how to live on a desert island (or get off of one) would be nice!
4. Book that made you laugh: The Ashley Stockingdale series by Kristin Billerbeck- especially What A Girl Wants.
5. Book that made you cry: The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.
6. Book that you wish had been written: Hmmm- I can't come up with a good one for this, and maybe someday I will just write the book I think should be written!
7. Book you don't enjoy: I really can't get into the Left Behind Series. The style of writing is just not me- maybe it's too science-fiction-y for me? I also can NOT stand books with spelling errors. It makes my skin crawl.
8. Book you are currently reading: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
9. Book you've been meaning to read: About A Boy (one of my favorite movies- I bet the book is even better. )
10. Book you remember as a real page-turner: The Nanny Diaries and Maeve Binchy's Circle Of Friends (I read this without ever seeing the movie- this is one where you MUST read the book!!)
11. Non-fiction books that you have enjoyed: Ruth Bell Graham's beautiful writings about motherhood, life, and her children.
12. Children's books your family has loved: How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?, Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends, and our all-time favorite read is Mouse Moves House by Usborne Books.

Almost ten years ago I watched the beautiful Japanese film After Life, and it enchanted me and sparked my imagination so much that I have carried it around with me in my heart ever since. The film is based on interviews with more than 500 people about the one memory they would choose to take with them to heaven. In it, people who have recently died are told that they are to look back at their life and choose only one memory that they can to take along with them into eternity. The process compels people to look back at their lives in its entirety and realise what was truly important.
Ever since I have carried this notion around with me. I would be living my life and suddenly think "Is this it? is this the one time I would keep with me forever?" What memory would I ever take with me to the afterlife? How could I ever choose just one? Would anything ever be perfect enough to keep solely and for always? My thoughts would often turn to this film, how I was living my life, and my memories. And I never was satisfied with myself or able to choose.
But then my daughter Adelaide came to me and without a doubt, no hesitations or regrets, I have made my choice. And I am quite certain that this may never change.
What I want to keep with me for always, forever, and beyond, is simple: Cuddling then drifting off to sleep with my little daughter, her sweet breath gentle upon my cheek. I am already missing these times, and I know full well that they will not last forever.
Today I decided to try and capture this for myself to have for always.
What would you choose?

If you're a woman, your doctor or gynecologist may have recommended that you examine your breasts every month to check for lumps. You might be wondering, why do I need to do a breast self-exam? Or, you might ask, how do I examine my breasts, and what exactly am I looking for? Well, let's talk about why, and how to examine your breasts.
Why examine your breasts? Well, for one thing, it helps you get an idea of how they normally feel. Then if there's ever a problem, you'll be familiar enough with your breasts to spot it. For example, a lump on your breast could be a sign of breast cancer. Finding that lump could allow you to get checked out with a mammogram earlier than you might have done if you didn't do breast self exams. But, this is a two edged sword. Many expert groups no longer recommend routine breast self examination because the consequences of over treatment of benign or normal lumps may outweigh the benefits of early detection. Lumps lead to extra mammograms, which often lead to biopsies, and the biopsies turn out to be benign, or normal, in more than 90% of cases. But, not always. Some expert groups simply recommend breast self awareness. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
If you are going to do breast self exam, the best day to do a self exam is about 3 to 5 days after your period ends. Your breasts are naturally less lumpy right after your period, so there's less of a chance that you'll mistake a normal bump for an abnormal growth. If you've already gone through menopause and your periods have stopped, just do your exam on the same day every month. Mark it on your calendar so you won't forget.
To do the exam, lie on your back, as it's easier to feel any lumps or changes when you're lying down. First, put your right hand behind your head. Then, using the middle fingers on your left hand, gently but firmly press down, circling your entire breast. Make sure you cover the whole right breast. Squeeze your nipple gently. See if any fluid comes out. Now, sit up, and feel around your armpit. When you're done with the right breast, repeat the whole check on the left side.
Next, stand in front of a mirror. With your arms down at your sides, look at both breasts. Check the shape of each breast. Look for any changes in the skin, like dimpling or puckering. Also see if your nipples now turn inward. Now, do the exact same check again with your arms over your head.
After you've done a few breast self-exams, you'll become familiar with the look and shape of your breasts. At each exam, you're looking for anything different, like new bumps, changes in the texture of your skin, or discharge from your nipple. If you do notice that something has changed, don't panic, it could mean many different things. But, call your doctor as soon as you can so you can find out what's caused the change, and, if necessary, get it treated.

A feeling most accurately described and felt when you are on magical mushrooms and feel your body can literally sink into and become one with the given environment. Every action is completely care-free and relaxed. Typically a euphoric state where the social pressures of human interaction and movement are no longer a concern, you are at peace with your well-being and no longer give a shit about what you look like. Most who are shloopy feel a genuine love for all, and wish for all to join you in the shlooping. One can feel shloopy when completely sober.
"Woah man you just effortlessly flopped into the sand with a big grin on your face! you on drugs?" "yah mann, and im feeling sooo goood, i'm feelin mighty shloopy!!"

This is mainly expressed exactly like it's spelled when a football player with the football breaks open during a rush or after making a reception or interception aka pick or fumble recovery for a touchdown, especially after a long run.
EXAMPLE: This is mainly heard during the football recaps on ESPN by Chris Berman. After the football player with the ball get by the main stream of tacklers and get closer and closer to the endzone, that's when Chris is feeling it and say "He-could-go...all...the...way! And he does." But if he runs out of bounds or gets tackled, Chris will respond with "but he doesn't."

Hoard's Dairyman article: Early weaning is best way to cut calf costs
Early weaning is best way to cut calf costs
How calves did in a Cornell study which evaluated starters with two levels of fiber and in pelleted or mash (texturized) forms was covered in a previous column in the May 10, 2007, issue, page 340. Calves were in individual crates, so there was no bedding consumption to confound the results.
There were some benefits of the high-fiber versus low-fiber calf starter. That is to be expected with lower starch content when starters are formulated for higher fiber. And there would be fewer tendencies for marginal ruminal acidosis with higher-fiber starters. But the main advantages in this study were for the mash starter versus pelleted starter. (See Table 1.)
• Improved daily gain postweaning (5 to 8 weeks) and overall, as well
• Greater starter intake after weaning and overall, as well
• Earlier ruminating
• More time spent ruminating
All of these differences were statistically significant. In addition, calves sacrificed on each treatment had numerically improved rumen pH, papillae length, and percent muscle/mucosa. All indicate rumen function and development consistent with the performance parameters.
What about forage?
Now, what if straw or roughage is fed? Recently, at a large herd calf operation, I observed only one calf ruminating. Calves were housed in straw-bedded hutches and fed a pelleted calf starter. I do not know of any study that has measured straw intake when calves are bedded on straw.
What would the straw do in the rumen? We know it does not ferment much, produces the wrong balance of volatile fatty acids for rumen papillae development, and contributes to rumen fill which distorts and confounds true body weight gain and feed efficiencies.
Hay would have similar effects when fed to calves under 2 months of age. When the benefits of texturized starters are seen as in this study, the rejoinder usually is "but texturized starters cost more!" That brings up a second issue . . . costs.
A study in 2000 summarized and reported calf and heifer costs (Figure 1) on 62 dairies in Wisconsin. (April 25, 2000, issue, page 303.) Note that, while daily costs were the greatest for the two-month calf period, the largest component of that cost was 40 percent for labor followed by 38 percent for feed. Daily feed costs actually were greater for older heifers as maintenance cost increases with body weight. Even though lower cost per- pound or per-ton feeds can be used with larger heifers, the efficiency of nutrient conversion to growth is lower due to greater body maintenance costs then. In fact, in some cases, cost per pound of gain can even be the lowest during the calf period because of this greater efficiency of nutrient conversion to gain at lower body weight.
Calf accounts for little . . .
Furthermore, of the total costs to raise a heifer in that Wisconsin study eight years ago, only $160, or 13 percent of the $1,260 to raise a heifer, came in the first two-month calf period. In 2000, a heifer calf was valued at $100 which would need to be added to the $1,260 heifer-raising costs to get a total cost of the heifer. Of the total heifer period rearing costs, 60 percent was feed costs, reflecting greater maintenance cost with larger size.
This study essentially was repeated in 2007 using 49 dairy operations. It was reported in a series, "Real Herds, Real Heifers" in the January 10 through March 25 issues in 2008. (Or see: http://www.wisc.edu/dysci/uwex/heifmgmt/heiferreport.html) Some of the cost differences from the 2000 report are: A heifer calf was worth $500 in 2007 rather than $100, labor cost rose from $7 to $12 an hour, and management cost went from $12 to $20 an hour. Results in Figure 2 illustrate a similar pattern to 2000 but with some notable differences. (See Table 2.)
From 2000 to 2007, calf value went up five-fold while total calf period costs were "only" doubled. The latter primarily was a function of higher labor costs which accounted for nearly one-half of the daily calf costs. Calf period costs grew from 13 to 20 percent of total heifer rearing costs.
A word of caution . . .
Here is the concern. There often is undue focus on cutting calf feed costs. If you chose a lower quality milk replacer, lower feeding level, or lower cost calf starter, you might save $25 to $50 per calf. That would be only 15 percent at the maximum of the daily calf costs and only 2 to 3 percent of total heifer-rearing costs you incur.
Poorer nutrition then would be provided to the most vulnerable and responsive animals on your dairy where the efficiency and return opportunity is the greatest. The best approach to cut calf period costs would be to reduce weaning age from an average of 8 to 6 weeks. This would reduce both the cost of the liquid feeding program and labor — the largest cost components of caring for and raising calves — but not reduce calf performance. And the calf then would be in a better situation for moving into a group and ration change after 2 months of age. With good milk replacer and calf starter feeding programs, that is a very realistic approach.
Last, there is newer data that improved daily gain of the calf without fattening before weaning is associated with higher first-lactation milk yield. There are indications that, even at this young calf age, critical mammary gland development is taking place. So we need to reevaluate goals and objectives of our calf starter and liquid feeding programs. Our objectives should be to maximize performance of calves, and their subsequent milk yields, rather than look to simply cut costs of calf feeding programs.

Behind a 52-point second-half scoring outburst, Stetson won its eighth straight game 84-66 over host USC Upstate in an Atlantic Sun Conference contest Saturday afternoon at the G. B. Hodge Center.
After leading by just three at halftime, the Hatters (12-4, 5-0 A-Sun) shot 62 percent (18-for-29) from the floor in the second half to remain undefeated in the A-Sun.
USC Upstate fell to 5-10, 1-3.
Jama Sharp led five Hatters in double figures with 17 points, 12 of those coming after the break. She also recorded a career-high eight steals to go along with five rebounds and three assists.
Cherrisse Burris scored 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting while grabbing a team-high eight rebounds. Victoria McGowan (15 points), Sasha Sims (13 points), and Shanasa Sanders (11 points) also reached double digits for the Hatters.
"I thought Jama had a great game, especially defensively for us," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "But we had a lot of players in double figures and it was just a great team effort."
After Stetson led 10-0 just four-and-a-half minutes into the game, USC Upstate chipped away until finally moving ahead 22-21 with 6:48 to play in the first half. A late surge by the Hatters gave Stetson a narrow 32-29 halftime lead.
"In the first half I thought our offense was stagnant," Bria said. "We weren't moving the ball and we weren't working together offensively."
Sharp got the Hatters going early in the second half, hitting a lay-up and a three-pointer to put Stetson ahead by six. The Hatters led by seven when a steal by Sharp led to a fastbreak lay-up for Burris which started a lengthy 24-6 run. In fact Stetson made nine shots in a row during one stretch to extend the lead to 67-42 at the 10 minute mark.
"In the second half we pressed them a little more, I thought that would get us more aggressive and it worked," Bria said. "We got our heads together after the first half and responded really well."
Sharp picked up four steals during that explosive run.
"I just stayed back, my teammates were applying a lot of pressure," Sharp said. "When they passed ahead, I just tried to be quick and get the steal."
Stetson would lead by as many as 26 before closing out the 18-point victory.
"It starts with our defense, I thought our full court press bothered them, and I felt like we did a better job of guarding them in the half court set," Bria said. "We did a really good job of defending their penetration. We were much more aggressive in the second half on both ends of the floor."
Brittany Clency had 14 points to lead the Spartans.
The Hatters will continue their two-game road trip on Monday at ETSU. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on HatterVision and ASun.TV.
Notes: Stetson began the day with the 10th-longest active winning streak in the nation. The school record for consecutive wins is 10 set last year … The game was broadcast on ESPN3. The Hatters will appear on ESPN3 again next Saturday against Lipscomb … Ashley Dennis became the 27th player in school history to play in 100 career games with the Hatters … Shanasa Sanders, Cherisse Burris, and Jama Sharp each played their 50th career games with the Hatters Saturday … Stetson won for just the second time in five appearances at the Hodge Center … Sasha Sims had one block and is six blocks away from 100 in her career ... The last Hatter with eight steals in a game was Victoria McGowan with eight against Ball State last year (12/4/11).

The Buffalo Niagara region is hosting a series of events next week meant to help prospective entrepreneurs bring their most promising ideas to the marketplace, highlighted by Buffalo's first Startup Weekend.
The 54-hour event, which begins next Friday at Medaille College, offers would-be business owners the chance to work in teams, receive feedback and mentoring from experts, and win prizes of cash and incubator space.
Buffalo's Startup Weekend and a slate of events scheduled at the University at Buffalo coincide with the national Startup Weekend and Global Entrepreneurship Week.
"With anybody who has that entrepreneurial flame, we can fan it a little bit better," said Thomas R. Ulbrich, executive director of UB's Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, part of the School of Management.
Organizers say the activities are meant to encourage entrepreneurial activity in Buffalo Niagara. Small businesses are the key to local economic growth, they say, and more is being done to nurture good ideas that have commercial potential.
"My goal is to make Buffalo the Queen City of startups," said John W. Howell, CEO of nxtARROW, an economic-development company that works to attract startup companies to Buffalo and operates a virtual incubator.
This is the first time that Buffalo is hosting a Startup Weekend, a national program sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation.
A group of volunteers has worked since the spring to set up the event, which runs from next Friday to Sunday at Medaille, said Dan Magnuszewski, chief of innovation at Z80 Labs, an incubator for technology companies. Other organizers include Steve Poland, Dan Gigante, Jon Spitz and Jeff Ross.
Buffalo's Startup Weekend is meant to help technology companies get off the ground and is aimed at people who have an idea for new computer software, smartphone applications or mobile technologies, Magnuszewski said. Some Startup Weekend attendees will come with ideas for a new product; others will offer their services to the visionaries.
Beginning at 6:30 p.m. next Friday, participants will pitch their ideas to a group of experts and form teams around the best ideas. Those teams will work over the weekend to develop a business plan and product prototypes – with the assistance of the mentors on hand – before presenting those plans and demonstrating their products Sunday.
"It's very condensed – it's a very intense process," Magnuszewski said.
The top teams, as judged by a panel of experts, receive cash prizes, free incubator space in Z80 Labs or nxtARROW, flexible space in CoworkBuffalo and legal advice.
Organizers hope Startup Weekend helps get some new companies off the ground. One of Z80 Labs' tenants, GradFly, which develops next-generation software to match students to the right college, participated in a Startup Weekend in Rochester this spring.
Participants must register for Buffalo Startup Weekend, at $25 for students and $50 for members of the public, and registration is limited to 125 people.
About 90 people have signed up so far, Magnuszewski said, including a good number of college students. Details are available at www.buffalo.startupweekend.org.
The organizers of Startup Weekend are holding an informational happy hour from 4:30 to 7 p.m. today at Z80 Labs, on the first floor of The Buffalo News, Washington and Scott streets.
Global Entrepreneurship Week begins Monday, and UB is hosting tie-in events. The main event at UB is the appearance by Black Mycoskie on Thursday as part of the UB Distinguished Speakers Series. He is founder of TOMS Shoes and author of "Start Something That Matters," the 2012 UB Reads selection.
Other UB events include speed networking, an "Entrepreneurs Unplugged" round-table discussion and an Innovation Challenge. "I think it's a very exciting time to be an entrepreneur in Western New York," Ulbrich said.
Registration is required for the UB events. For information, email email@example.com or call Alex Cleary at 885-5715.

Space Shuttle Atlantis is in the air sporting a plastic coat as NASA crews start to build its new exhibit hall.
The spacecraft is now raised to its display height at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. It's wrapped up to protect it from all the dust that will be stirred up as workers build the hall around the shuttle.
NASA said guests get a great view with parts of the orbiter only suspended 7 1/2 feet off the ground.
The unwrapped Atlantis will be on display when the exhibit opens in July.

If at first you couldn't refi, maybe it's time to try again.
Mortgage interest rates continue to hover around generational lows, offering many homeowners a chance to refinance and build equity more quickly, reduce monthly mortgage payments or both.
Lots of homeowners who would like to refinance have been unable to do so during the past few years because home prices fell, reducing homeowners' equity.
Banks typically want mortgage borrowers to have at least 10 percent equity in a property before they will approve a refinance. Equity is the property value minus any debt secured by the property, so if your house is worth $150,000 and you owe $135,000 on a mortgage, you have equity of $15,000, or 10 percent.
The good news for those hoping to refinance is home values started rising last year in many areas after a years-long slide, and when a property becomes worth more, the homeowner has more home equity.
Anyone who took out a mortgage before housing prices crashed stands to save a good deal of money by refinancing, assuming they plan to stay in the home for a while.
The 30-year mortgage rate was hovering around 6.5 percent at the end of 2007. On a loan of $150,000, that's a monthly payment of $948.
Today, someone with good credit and enough home equity can get a 30-year mortgage with a 3.5 percent interest rate. On a $150,000 loan, that's a monthly payment of $674, saving the homeowner nearly $3,300 yearly in payments.
And with a lower interest rate, you also build up home equity more quickly, because less money goes toward interest.
For example, a borrower paying off a $150,000 30-year mortgage at 3.5 percent interest would own $1,200 more of their home by the end of the first year, compared to a borrower with a 6.5 percent interest rate. So the person with the lower interest rate pays far less each month, yet gains more home equity.
There are lots of formulas and rules-of-thumb for deciding if it makes sense to refinance. I think people should ignore them all, and actually compare their current loan with their refinancing options.
With a good, free, online mortgage calculator — my favorite is at Bloomberg.com under "personal finance" and then "calculators" — you can calculate different loan options and compare them, and you can see how much money would go to interest versus principal each year.
That's how I ran the numbers on the example I used earlier.
Other factors to consider:
Think about the loan term. If you took out a $150,000 loan at 6.5 percent at the end of 2007, you've already made five years of payments and have 25 years left to pay. You've also paid down more than $21,000 of the loan balance. So you're not refinancing a 30-year, $150,000 loan, you're refinancing a 25-year $129,000 loan. In that example, you could refinance into a 20-year loan at 3.5 percent interest, shave 5 years off your remaining loan term, cut your monthly payments by $200, and build equity faster.
There are costs associated with refinancing, typically several thousand dollars in fees and lender charges. Shop around for the best deal, and consider those costs when deciding if it makes sense to refinance. You'll need cash to pay those closing costs, or enough home equity to roll the costs into the new mortgage.
If you apply for a refinancing, you'll still have to pay for the appraisal even if the bank-ordered appraisal determines that your home is worth less than you thought and that you don't have enough equity for a new loan. If that happens, check to make sure the appraiser didn't make mistakes that would underestimate your home's value, such as getting the size wrong.
If you want to refinance, but you don't want to get stuck paying for an appraisal for a loan that won't go through, how can you be confident about what your home is worth?
You can't be sure what a bank-hired appraiser is going to conclude, but you can assume they will err on the conservative side when it comes to home values.
What you can do is some research to get a solid idea of where you stand before you apply for a loan.
Local searches of real estate for sale, on postandcourier.com and other websites, can show how homes like yours are being priced for sale. If you know someone in the real estate business (maybe the agent who sold you your home?), ask for information about recent sales of comparable properties and calculate what the buyers paid on a per-square-foot basis. That's the same standard appraisers use to determine property values.
Websites such as Zillow can show you what homes have sold for in your neighborhood and provide estimates of how prices have changed over time in your town and your ZIP code. They also will estimate what your particular home is worth, but I think the price trends for an area are more useful.
For example, Zillow estimates homes in my ZIP code are worth about $20,000 more than in February 2009, but they also estimate my home is worth less, for no particular reason.
National reports say home prices rose about 6 percent last year and could rise 5 percent to 10 percent more this year.
Locally, results vary by location, but the supply of single-family homes for sale in popular areas with good schools has become tight, indicating strong demand that should boost prices.

Mind over matter - on the road with Kelsey
I am currently on the plane heading to Zurich via Frankfurt for the next two World Cup Ski Cross races - Val Thorens, France and San Candido, Italy. This is the first time I have been unable to sleep on a flight over the Atlantic. I am short on space so I can't imagine how the boys must be feeling right about now. To get away from the claustrophobic atmosphere a couple of us found relief at the back of the plane but unfortunately got ushered back to our seats shortly after.
The last week and a half has been an emotional ride for me. Heading into Nationals one week before the World Cup opener in Nakiska, I felt like I was behind where I thought I should be at that time. Fortunately I was able to chat with Karen McNeil, a sport psych whom I had previously worked with when I was racing alpine on the BC Provincial Team; We worked out a mental plan of attack for this season. Talking to her really put things in perspective for me and brought to light that it will be most important for me to be patient, focus on technical goals rather than results and evaluate each day based on the goals I have set out for myself.
It's so interesting how one is able to remember all these things when they are level headed and thinking clear yet manage to totally forget the sense of it all the minute mental focus gets out of hand.
Since I talked with Karen I have been focusing on only a few things. The first is to be aggressive in both qualifying and racing. My technical skiing has improved since this time last year and when running a course solo there is no reason why I can't be winning runs. When I'm qualifying, I have control of my environment because I can ski any line I wish without having to worry about others on the track. When I race in heats I base my level of performance from how aggressive I am skiing with other in the course. I asses to see that I am looking for passing opportunities and taking risks. When I am in the start gate I am trying to focus only on myself and not worrying who I am up against or the tactics they will be taking throughout the course. Racing in heats is where I feel I have improved the most over the last 2 weeks.
A few days ago I continued my baby steps forwards with finishing just off the podium in 4th place at Telluride, Colorado. In the finals I got distracted out of the start and found myself rushing to catch the other girls. In the last turn of the course I tried to stuff a pass on Anna who was in third but got pinched out. My arm caught the panel and twisted my upper body slowing my speeds for the rest of the track. Even though I wasn't able to squeak on the podium I am happy with my performance. Like I mentioned before, two weeks ago I wouldn't have dared to squeeze in a pass like that.
We are in Val Thorens, France now with our next finals scheduled for Wednesday Dec 19th. We were supposed to train today but mass amounts of snow and the late decision to inject the course last night is preventing that from happening.

on February 1, 2013 - 11:37 PM
The Common Council has informally agreed to a policy crafted by the comptroller that would govern how it can spend the city's rainy day fund.
The city set aside enough money to cover its expenses for 30 days when the fund was established in 2008 and has never had to spend it. But the Council never adopted a policy on how to use the money in case that rainy day ever came.
In a special Finance Committee meeting with Comptroller Mark J.F. Schroeder and his staff, Majority Leader Demone A. Smith asked whether the city could use money in the rainy day fund as part of its normal budget process if state aid is cut and vital services were in jeopardy.
Schroeder advised that the city only use the funds when the state cuts aid it had already committed to providing and only after the city had already included that aid in its budget.
"To deviate at all from that language would probably be detrimental, and I would encourage us all not to engage in," Schroeder said.
Rating agencies do not want to see the city taking money from its rainy day fund and using it to plug a budget gap during its normal process of adopting the budget, he said.
Under the comptroller's proposal, which the Council is poised to adopt this month, the fund can be used to cover costs related to weather emergencies and natural disasters, emergency repairs to city facilities due to fire or flooding or to cover costs related to midyear cuts in state aid.
Unacceptable uses would be to close a budget deficit or for routine maintenance.
The Council, comptroller and mayor would all need to approve rainy day fund expenses. If the fund is depleted, the money would have to be put back within four years, according to the policy.
Finance Committee Chairman Christopher P. Scanlon said he expected the policy to be sent to the Council in time for its meeting Tuesday and for the Council to act on it quickly.
"We're not looking to use this to balance the city's checkbook," Scanlon said.
The city has a healthy $113.6 million in reserves, but much of that is committed to certain purposes. The rainy day fund, which Council members agreed would be renamed the "emergency stabilization fund," contains $35.7 million. The fund must cover 30 days' expenses, according to the city charter.
In addition to the rainy day fund, the reserves also include:
• An "assigned" fund of $29.8 million, which is meant for such things as settling legal claims against the city.
• A "nonspendable" fund of $22.9 million, which is for such things as covering deficits in the city's solid waste fund.
• A "restricted" fund of $13 million, where the money has been restricted by creditors or others.
• A "unassigned" fund balance of $12.2 million, which the city has been using to plug budget gaps. The city has taken $40 million from this fund over the last three years to pay for recurring expenses. The city's four-year plan, filed May 8, calls for the city to use $3.9 million in its 2013-14 budget, which will be sent to the Council on May 1.
Schroeder has warned that if the city continues to use this unassigned fund balance, it could jeopardize its healthy credit ratings, and increase its borrowing costs.

This Spring's transition to Moodle [1] v2.3 is the culmination of a yearlong effort by a large number of ITS staff members. Every individual on the team stepped up and met the challenges, which were significant, and as a result, all the project goals were met on schedule.
Now that the roll-out of the new version is complete, the second phase of the project can begin.
ITS has offered 24 workshops since the January roll-out, and has increased service hours for phone and walk-in support for both faculty and students. To keep the momentum going,additional training opportunities and workshops will continue to be offered to help everyone to unlock the full potential of Moodle 2.3. To broaden the accessibility of these additional opportunities, online sessions using Collaborate and TeamViewer are now available for out-of-area lecture staff and faculty who are unable to come to campus.
The new Moodle provides functionality that was either not practical to use or not available at all in the older version of the software, along with a larger range of plugins ("blocks") for students and faculty to evaulate for potential inclusion in courses. There are also a number of cloud-based options to consider. ITS is working with the Instructional Designers for eLearning and Extended Education to prioritize potential add-ons and welcome input from faculty in this process. The campus community as a whole is also encouraged to participate in the testing of new functionality in the special version of Moodle we maintain for offline experimentation.
Also under evaluation are new and different ways of communicating information about Moodle to the campus community, so if you have any ideas on this front, the Moodle team would like to har from you. By combining new and existing methods of communication and offering a wide range of workshops and support opportunities, the campus community will have many opportunities to learn more of what Moodle has to offer.
If you're interested in participating in any of these ongoing efforts, please call the Moodle office at (707) 826-4123 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com [3].

To Persians, the fourteenth-century poems of Hafiz are not classical literature from a remote past, but cherished love, wisdom, and humor from a dear and intimate friend. Perhaps, more than any other Persian poet, it is Hafiz who most fully accesses the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Daniel Ladinsky has made it his life's work to create modern, inspired translations of the world's most profound spiritual poetry. Through Ladinsky's translations, Hafiz's voice comes alive across the centuries singing his message of love.
"There are universes inside Hafiz, a lineage of masters. Daniel Ladinsky follows the playfulness; the rascal moves well."—Coleman Barks

We are certainly used to warm, humid weather here in the Lowcountry, but the recent onslaught of rainfall has left many wondering if we will ever see the sun again.
Even the most easygoing plants in my garden are beginning to show side effects of too much water.
The drought-tolerant plants are struggling the most. Unsure what to do with such an abundance of water, they are giving up the ghost with root rot and subsequent wilting and ugly foliar fungal diseases from splashing water.
One group of plants that seems to be just thrilled with the large amount of moisture is the tropical and native members of the hibiscus family. Flowering prolifically around the Lowcountry, despite the soggy summer, bright blooming hibiscus are putting on quite a show.
Members of the genus Hibiscus are part of a larger group of plants in the family Malvaceae. Grown throughout the world for their beautiful flowers, fruits and fiber, this family includes cotton, okra, Confederate Rose and Hollyhock, just to name a few.
Chinese Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), known as the "Queen of the Tropics," conjures images of the islands and is the most widely available type of hibiscus in the horticulture trade.
The botanical name literally translates to 'Chinese rose' and is thought to have made its way to the South Pacific through the trade routes, becoming the official flower of Hawaii.
While Chinese Hibiscus is treated as an annual in South Carolina, it's actually a perennial shrub in its native regions of Asia. It is not cold hardy anywhere in the state, but it can be overwintered indoors and brought back outside after all danger of frost has passed.
If you overwinter one of the new dwarf types, don't be alarmed when it grows to normal hibiscus proportions the following season. They are not hybridized or bred to be smaller but are sprayed with a growth regulator to keep their size in check. Since they are intended for use as annuals, most gardeners will never see them outgrow the effects of the chemical growth regulator.
Chinese hibiscus is available in punchy tropical colors, including red, orange, yellow, pink, lavender and apricot. Many gardeners grow them in large containers so they can be moved in and out with the seasons. It can be a struggle to keep the containerized plants moist during the summer, as their roots quickly expand to fill the pots. This summer, they are receiving ample water through natural rainfall and are flowering abundantly.
My favorite member of the hibiscus family is Scarlet Swamp Hibiscus or Texas Star Hibiscus (Hibiscus coccineus). This southeastern native plant was made for wet conditions, naturally thriving in swamps, marshes and boggy ditches.
With extra-large single red flowers, Scarlet Swamp Hibiscus blooms until fall when it dies back to the ground. Plant this native in just about any condition, except full shade, and it will reward you with gorgeous blooms and frequent visits by hummingbirds.
Another popular perennial hibiscus is the native Rose Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos). Rose Mallow blooms from August through October in the Lowcountry and thrives in marshy areas. These old-fashioned favorites boast huge dinner-plate sized blooms, often up to 10 inches across.
Rose Mallow is a native plant that has been used regularly in hibiscus breeding, giving rise to many of the perennial hybrids available such as:
'Kopper King' and the new and improved 'Copper Queen' both prized for finely cut, bronzy red foliage and light pink to white flowers with deep mahogany centers;
'Turn of the Century' featuring pink flowers with a pinwheel patterned red center;
Proven Winners has a line of perennial hibiscus called Summerific with cultivars including 'Summer Storm' and 'Berrylicious'.
Cut perennial hibiscus back three to six inches above the ground at the onset of winter weather. Plant these hardy hibiscus alongside cannas, elephant ears and crinums, all of which take kindly to boggy conditions.
Native Turk's Cap (Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii) is sometimes referred to as Sleeping Hibiscus because the bright red flower petals never fully open. Hummingbirds love to drink nectar from the many small, one-inch red flowers that adorn the 3-6 feet herbaceous shrub.
Found naturally growing along streambeds and at the woods edge, Turk's Cap is a good choice to brighten shady corners in the garden, and can handle slightly wet feet.

We all want our children to be stars in their lives and feel good about who they are, but could you be pushing them too far? Here are some questions to ask yourself when considering starting your young child in pageants, acting or any extracurricular activity:
Is there balance?
The concept of pageants can be beneficial to children if they are done in balance with other activities in a child's life, like soccer or little league. But putting too much focus on just one activity is not healthy for the child. They must experience many different activities when they are young to find out what they truly enjoy being a part of. It is OK for them to be involved in activities, but make sure they are not missing out on being a kid and participating in things other kids do, like sleepover parties and birthday parties.
Is this your child's passion or your passion?
Is your child doing it because they have a passion for it and love it, or is it your dream and passion? If your child complains about the activity and seems to be unhappy, maybe it is time to consider another outlet for fun, even if you want them to continue with it. Even though your child may want to pursue this dream, you are the parent. You control whether they attend pageants and auditions, not the child. Kids need to be kids and parents need to be parents.
Are you endangering your child?
Are you putting your child in danger in order to make them "beautiful?" One guest had braces put on her 2 1/2-year-old daughter because she had a crooked tooth and begged for braces. Dr. Phil checked with a licensed Orthodontist who said this is not something that should be done and a child could suffer more harm than good. This can lead to worse consequences because a young child cannot take care of braces the way an older child is able to, and it can cause damage to the teeth.
If you have hesitation that this activity could be harmful to your child's emotional or physical well-being, then don't put your child in harm's way. If your child has been threatened or hurt by the activity, maybe you should reconsider the importance of continuing on with it. For example, one young girl participating in beauty pageants was cursed at by another mother and received a dead cat on her porch — acts of hatred and jealousy that could make you think twice before pursuing further.
Are you having financial or marital problems?
If your marriage is in trouble or you are having money problems as a result of pursuing this dream, you should reconsider the investment and make sure that it is positive for the entire family. If you are spending a lot of time away from each other, this leads to a more divided family. It is important to recognize that this dream should not be taking away from the family unit, but rather building it and making it stronger. Work on building the careers of the parents so that the children can enjoy the fruits of what the parents achieve. It is a parent's responsibility to take care of the children and make sure that they have long-term opportunities.
Are you concentrating too much on beauty, makeup, hair and clothes?
This is very superficial, and could make a child vulnerable at a young age. They may learn to define their self-worth based on these standards, which is unrealistic. It's important to think about the consequences of what will happen if the child grows out of the "cute phase" and isn't "pageant cute" anymore.
Are you being realistic about your goals?
If your child has been going on numerous auditions and has not landed a job, maybe it is time to reconsider things. The numbers of children that get acting gigs is very small: about five out of 100,000. Even if your child does become successful, it's not as easy or glamorous as it may seem. Fame is a 24-hour a day job. They will be spending long days at a studio for work, and oftentimes it is around adults and no one from their peer group. They may have problems when they return to school, and the monetary compensation may not be as much as you would have expected.
Are you too critical of your child?
When a child starts an activity at a young age, the activity should be fun for the child. It's about gaining experience and developing skills. If he/she becomes a professional, then it becomes work for him/her and it is more acceptable to be critical because his/her future is at stake. It is important to encourage your child before criticizing them, so he/she can know the feeling of doing something well. Criticism is received better when training for the next event as opposed to right after completing one.
Should you continue?
If your child is currently acting and you are not sure whether to let them continue, think about this. For children, the only time is here and now. If you take them out of this activity and put them into another activity that they really enjoy, they will move forward happy and successfully.
You must do what is best for the child and you can't worry whether they will resent you for stopping the activity. You cannot parent with resentment. You can't worry that your child will be mad at you for saying, 'No' to them continuing. Know that it may be in their best interest, and you are the parent. The chances that young actors will make it to another successful show is very slim.
A lot of child stars from the past have become drug addicts and alcoholics. "It's a lack of adjustment that happens because it's a false world," Dr. Phil says. One day you're a star and the next day it's all over.

Take a child with autism out in public and you'd better have a thick skin. They can act out in public places – shouting and moaning, running, crying or acting in ways that look like a temper tantrum and then some.
What happens next?
Staring and pointing, at times. Whispering, too, and looks that can range from pitying to peeved.
"People stare. They point," said Aimee Kauschinger, an Elma resident who has two children, including a 5-year-old autistic son.
That is why local parents of autistic children are excited about a new program that has debuted at an East Aurora children's museum.
The program, called "Au-Some Evenings," happens once a month at Explore & More Children's Museum, in collaboration with an autism center at Women & Children's Hospital in Buffalo and the Center for Autism Support and Education. Four of the evenings have been held so far.
One recent event attracted 100 people, including 30 young people with autism.
The program appears to be a first of its kind in the region and path-breaking on a larger level as autism moves into the spotlight as a national concern.
The local program provides a monthly opportunity where families with autistic kids can come together for social time and constructive play in a setting that is not only autism-friendly but also autism-focused.
"There's just not a lot of options for us," said Joe Borgisi, a Town of Tonawanda resident who with his wife, Julie, has two daughters, including a 6-year-old with autism. "Things tend to be overwhelming for my daughter. It's hard to find the right fit for her."
The evenings are not restricted only to autistic kids. Their siblings also are welcome, as are other family members and friends.
But the evenings are planned around and geared to the needs of the autistic kids.
And that makes all the difference to parents like the Borgisis and the Kauschingers.
Instead of worrying about their children running around a local mall or restaurant, they can bring them to the new program and know that they are among others who understand what autism looks, sounds and acts like.
"This is worry-free, from our end," Borgisi said. "Everybody there understands."
Kauschinger, a part-time nurse whose husband helps run a family auto business, said the program has helped her son and her family.
"Nathan is high-functioning," she said. "But there are times he will have a little bit of an outburst. If people don't know what's going on, they will stare. People criticize what they do not understand."
The concept of the program is simple: It's designed to offer an evening activity open to all families in Western New York with autistic children, providing a safe and autism-friendly environment where children can play together in a setting where their behavior will not be judged or misunderstood.
The evenings, which have been sponsored by the Hodgson Russ law firm, are free to families, organizers said.
The goal is "to give children on the autism spectrum a nice safe environment, where they can go out and be kids and play," said Dr. Michelle Hartley-McAndrew, a pediatric neurologist who is medical director of the Children's Guild Foundation Autism Spectrum Disorder Center at Women & Children's Hospital, one of the organizers of the new program.
"Parents really enjoy it," the doctor said. "They feel relieved there is a safe place where their kids can go and play."
Kauschinger put it this way: "Here, our kids can go and just be themselves. They are not judged."
Borgisi said it is sometimes hard to get people to understand what parents of autistic children go through, in everyday situations – the grocery store, a restaurant and so on – that others take for granted.
"A lot of our friends who are parents ... just don't understand we can't do some of the things they can," Borgisi said. "Daily life is just not typical in any way."
"What Explore & More is doing is, as far as I know, the only thing like it," he added. "I don't know of any other activities that are THAT structured for our kids."
The local program was pioneered by regional autism advocates, including Jana Mertz, program coordinator at the autism center at Children's, who toured a Florida children's facility and noted that it had autism-focused programs for kids, and Dr. Kathy Ralabate Doody, assistant professor of exceptional education at Buffalo State College, Hartley-McAndrew said.
"There was really a need," she said. "There wasn't an opportunity for children like this to go to a place like Explore & More and feel free."
One primary element of the evenings is their tailoring toward autistic kids, with sensory-friendly activities designed to appeal to kids with autism, who often crave added stimulation or sensory-focused activity.
"They have sensory stations the kids can go through that are very tactile," said Kauschinger, whose family has attended two of the evenings so far. "It's very tactile and sensory-driven. [The kids] need stimuli – they are very sensory-driven, and stimuli are very important to them."
The reason for the tactile, sensory-driven nature of the evenings is to provide an environment that will calm autistic children, not overexcite them, Hartley-McAndrew said.
"They may have sensory-soothing activities, sounds that are very soothing ... ways that they can play that are very soothing," she said. "Children with an autism spectrum disorder like to engage in similar activities – it's nice that they can go back and feel comfortable with the environment."
"We want the children to be comfortable and the parents to be comfortable as well," she added.
Another aspect of the evenings that makes them stress-relievers for parents is the number of staff members on hand, from both Explore & More and Children's autism center, who are specially trained in working with children with the spectrum disorder.
"There's a lot of staff there," Kauschinger said. "The heavy staff [level] is really appreciated.
"The kids roam about – it's a place you don't have to be right on top of them."
The reaction from parents so far has been very positive, Hartley-McAndrew said. "The first night, some parents were tearful, because their children had this opportunity," she said.
And the program seems to work wonders with the autistic kids, according to Kauschinger.
"Kids are very rarely having meltdowns there," the Elma mom said.
The organizers behind the East Aurora program said they would love to see the idea spread throughout the region, providing more and more opportunities for autistic kids to get out, socialize with one another and their friends and families, and have some stress-free fun.
"We want to use this as sort of a springboard," said Hartley-McAndrew, "to create more opportunities for our children."
The next "Au-Some Evening" will be from 5:30 to 8 next Friday. To reserve a spot, call 332-4170.

Contract terms
Term: April 8, 2014- June 30, 2017
Salary: April 8, 2014, through June 30, 2014, the board shall pay the president a prorated annual salary of $150,000. From July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015, the board shall pay an annual salary of $160,000. Annual increases the next two years are to match the Consumer Price Index, a measure of inflation.
Merit pay: Board members can also give a 3 percent merit pay bonus after the president's annual review, but the contract stipulates that Mastroianni may not receive an increase of more than 6 percent more than his prior year's total creditable earnings in accordance with state law.
ROCKFORD — New Rock Valley College President Mike Mastroianni will begin his tenure with a salary significantly lower than his predecessor.
Mastroianni will receive a prorated annual salary of $150,000 through June 30, 2014, then $160,000 through June 30, 2015, and annual increases that match inflation the following two years, according to the terms of his three-year contract.
There's also a possibility of a 3 percent merit-based bonus, but all together that's still much lower than the $179,071 that previous president Jack Becherer was paid in his final year at RVC.
One board member said that it's because Mastroianni doesn't have the same community college experience.
"That's just what we all agreed on," Trustee Katherine Kelley said. "Mike doesn't have as much community college experience. He hasn't served in this capacity before and Jack did."
There's also a 6 percent cap that restricts the new president's salary, according to state law.
"He's capped at $160,000 outside of a merit-based increase, which is significantly less" than Dr. Becherer, Board Chair Michael Dunn said. "The salary is fair for a chief executive in a community like Rockford."
Mastroianni was not available for comment.
The board earlier this month approved Mastroianni's new contract through June 30, 2017.
Mastroianni has served Rock Valley for 16 years in various capacities, including interim president.
Becherer was president of Wenatchee Valley College in Wenatchee, Wash.,from 2001 until he was hired by RVC in 2004. He left RVC in January.

LordStefanIII:Oo fun, MY TURN!China was low, so im going to go ahead and say i hit 4900 in a nr 55... 21
This just cannot be true, unless someone send you loads and loads of livestock.
Food whore + native upgrade. Its entirely possible. Same with 5500-5600 Iroquois.
pinjo: LordStefanIII:Oo fun, MY TURN!China was low, so im going to go ahead and say i hit 4900 in a nr 55... 21This just cannot be true, unless someone send you loads and loads of livestock.
That seems perfectly doable. China can nearly hit 3k in nr 40, without coin cards being sent.
LordStefanIII:Food whore + native upgrade. Its entirely possible. Same with 5500-5600 Iroquois.
Well to say its impossible is probbably exaggerated, but i havent seen anny score higher then 4580 with china (at 55) and normaly even good boomers get only about 4100-4400(depending on mines/nats/allies) or so.
So i would be very intrested in a rec of a real game where you get that score.
