Before the mid-1970s, special education in our country's public schools was all but non-existent. Many students were either outright denied the opportunity to attend because of their disability or they received inferior instruction if they were able to enroll.
That thankfully began to change in 1975, when Congress passed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act and required each state to provide appropriate services in this critical area.
While January is a time to make resolutions for the calendar year, August is a time to set goals for the school year. Students are in their first days of new classes, teachers and routines, and the year is still young. However, just as many New Year's resolutions are broken, many goals for the school year end up left on the table, unachieved.
But this is where living like a cowboy comes in handy.
Carroll County hosted Switzerland County, Ind. Aug. 18 in the team's home opener. The Panthers came up short on the score 20-6.
Carroll County Parks and Recreation 12U All-Star team went 5-1 in pool play and tournament play to win the 12U postseason district tournament. The team travelled away to every single game and played six games in a seven day span.
Carroll County beat Trimble County All-Stars in the semi-final game to advance to the championship game July 2, where they knocked off North Oldham, 15-7, at Welsh Park in La Grange, Ky.

Streetscape update
Mayor Robb Adams, Councilman Kevin Craig, Public Works Supervisor Ronnie Knight, project manager Dave Eberenz met with the contractor Monday to review the punch list for the Main Street streetscape project.
Street projects
The state is mowing roadways in Carroll County again, and Fiscal Court has a list of areas it wants addressed before the workers leave.
Magistrate Floyd Bowling told Judge-Executive Bobby Lee Westrict at the Aug. 22, meeting to make sure that Lock Road is mowed, as the residents are not happy. Bowling said it has been two years since the road had been mowed.
Westrick added that he has been receiving complaints about the medians at the interstate being overgrown and blocking line of sight.

It was a low-key shift on a warm July night until Louisville Metro Police Officer DeAris Hoard got the "shots fired" call. Hoard, a 25-year-old who has spent three years on the force, had handled minor problems so far: a stolen phone, a noise complaint, a fender-bender. Then an officer saw a man fire a gun from a balcony near East Oak Street.
Despite another lopsided final score, the Lady Panthers soccer team showed noticeable improvement, especially offensively, with just a couple days of practice. Carroll lost its home match Saturday to Fleming County, 6-0.
The Lady Panthers ripped 10 shots on goal compared to 26 for Fleming County. In her second career start in goal for injured keeper Houston Lindsay, Hannah Polley notched 12 saves and gave up five goals. JV keeper Tracey Rosell entered the game late in the second half and made three saves and gave up one goal.

Greetings and welcome to Window on the World! Today, we will learn all about the beautiful people of Indonesia. This is a country of many islands and many people groups. Indonesia has many cultures spread across these islands. People came to Indonesia from China, Arabia, Polynesia, Southeast Asia, Indochina, Portugal and Holland. The population has grown to almost two hundred million people!
Indonesian families often live near each other or in the same house. Honor and respect of others is very important and older people are shown great respect. If you were a visitor to Indonesia, you would be greeted with a nod and a bow. Guests are warmly welcomed into homes because they bring honor to the host.
The official language is Bahasa Indonesia. Some older people may speak Dutch because of the early settlers from Holland. English is taught in schools because it is an international language. Children attend school from the age of 6 years until 12 years old. A popular activity that children enjoy is watching shadow puppets. Small cut-out figures are moved behind a white screen showing only their shadows. Music from gongs, drums and stringed instruments might be heard. Beautiful dancing is another part of the Indonesian culture. Children also enjoy playing sports like badminton, soccer, tennis and volleyball.
Indonesia is indeed a land of interesting people! I hope you will join us again next week when we open our Window on the World and find out all about the foods of Indonesia. Farewell, until then!

Seems Twitter may be the "next big thing" in social media. Hitwise reports it has surpassed Digg for usage – but realistically the two are different types of social media, though Twitter does have the recommendation aspects of Digg. Comparisons to Facebook may be more realistic.
Twitter has come to replace – or at least heavily supplement – the interactions between Facebook users via leaving messages on the Wall of each user. The big difference about Twitter is everyone who is following a person gets to see the messages sent and join in the conversation immediately.
It combines the community nature of Facebook with followers and there have been requests to start groups similar to those at Facebook and other features. But at the moment the rising number of users has been causing problems with overload.
Twitter doubled its resources for yesterday's inauguration, knowing people would log on to share comments, yet still had some problems.
If Twitter is going to continue to grow it will have to overcome more than its capacity issues. Methods of monetization are a major hurdle, but meeting the needs of greater features is the biggest one. Rivals have popped up and have yet to impact. If one can address the other features issue they may have better luck.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: It somehow wasn't funny or scary enough - though I do have to admit it is always more than revolting enough.
Rotten: There's nothing inherently funny or provocative about a bunch of obnoxious kids being relentlessly horrible to a psychologically troubled peer.
Fresh: The horror-comedy genre is notoriously hard to pull off, but this Irish effort makes a decent, trashy fist of it.
Fresh: It's like a twisted balloon animal filled with blood and guts, waiting to burst.

Hi all,
I'm having some MSN problems as of late. During conversations, it doesn't display what the other person is saying to me. With the old version I had it sometimes, but then at one point MSN suddenly closed and I HAD to install the new version (which I didn't want, but otherwise it wouldn't work anymore).
Today it's really bad though, I was hoping that one of you might know how I can fix this as it;s really annoying for me and for the person I'm talking to.

Pistorius trial: Athlete's mental state in focus
Judge Thokozile Masipa will rule on Wednesday whether the athlete should be sent for mental observation.
PRETORIA – Murder accused Oscar Pistorius's personality was again the focus of evidence in court on Tuesday before the state launched its application to have him referred for psychological evaluation.
Get all the latest on the EWN Oscar Pistorius Portal.
The 27-year-old Paralympic and Olympic athlete is accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his upmarket Pretoria East home on Valentine's Day last year.
The 'Blade Runner' says he shot the model by accident, while the state maintains it is a case of premeditated murder.
Vorster said Pistorius's GAD may have had an impact on his actions on the night Steenkamp was killed.
She said the athlete's newer friends were people he couldn't confide in.
But she said while he was affected by the anxiety order, he was able to function as a professional athlete and maintain a social life.
Vorster said growing up, Pistorius was always encouraged to be as normal as possible, which would have been stressful because he concealed that he actually had a disability.
The psychiatrist said Pistorius had a heightened concern for security and told her he wanted to move to Johannesburg to be safer, and live in a house with greater security provision.
Judge Thokozile Masipa will decide tomorrow whether or not Pistorius will be sent for mental observation.
Advocate Barry Roux argued that the state simply wanted a second opinion about the athlete's mental state, but said this was premature because they would call another expert to testify about Pistorius's vulnerability.
He said if Pistorius's anxiety played a role in his actions, then he must be evaluated.
Nel referred to case law, saying if the matter gets to an appeals court, questions will be asked about why nothing was done about the psychological diagnosis.
Roux disagreed, saying it is merely an allegation that Pistorius has a mental illness.

• THE history of the Inquisition naturally divides itself into two portions, each of which may be considered as a whole. The Reformation is the boundary-line between them, except in Spain, where the New Inquisition was founded by Ferdinand and Isabella. In the present work I have sought to present an impartial account of the institution as it existed during the earlier period. For the second portion I have made large collections of material, through which I hope in due time to continue the history to its end. The Inquisition was not an organization arbitrarily devised and imposed upon the judicial system of Christendom by the ambition or fanaticism of the Church. It was rather a natural—one may almost say an inevitable—evolution of the forces at work in the thirteenth century, and no one can rightly appreciate the process of its development and the results of its activity without a somewhat minute consideration of the factors controlling the minds and souls of men during the ages which laid the foundation of modern civilization. To accomplish this it has been necessary to pass in review nearly all the spiritual and intellectual movements of the Middle Ages, and to glance at the condition of society in certain of its phases.

"There are many risk factors in Bulgaria, such as low standard of living, high numbers of smokers, high stress levels," Ivo Petrov, chair of Bulgarian Society of Cardiology told Presa Daily.
"Early prevention and control of high blood pressure are essential for decreasing stroke and heart attack mortality rates," Petrov stressed.

I am a 68-year old man with Parkinson's disease and a history of low blood pressure. My urologist has put me on Doxazosin for bladder control, which lowers blood pressure. I have recently experienced a numbing in my right hand while I sleep. I tried wearing wrist protectors, but I still get numbing. My wife tells me she recently read that Doxazosin should not be used by PD patients because it can interfere with the most common medication used -- Stalevo, or Carbodopa/Levadopa. Can you confirm this?
Should Parkinson's patients take Doxazosin?

Responses (1)
There is a moderate drug interaction between the levodopa and doxazosin. The hypotensive effects (lowering of blood pressure) of each medicine may be intensified especially during the first few weeks of therapy. Dose adjustments of the antihypertensive (doxazosin) agent may be required. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience dizziness or fainting.
You should talk to your doctor about the numbing of your hand.

What Is Leadership?
Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right. – Professor Warren G. Bennis
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
The word "leadership" can bring to mind a variety of images. For example:
- A political leader, pursuing a passionate, personal cause.
- An explorer, cutting a path through the jungle for the rest of his group to follow.
- An executive, developing her company's strategy to beat the competition.
Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organization; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring.
Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way.
In this article, we'll focus on the process of leadership. In particular, we'll discuss the "transformational leadership" model, first proposed by James MacGregor Burns and then developed by Bernard Bass. This model highlights visionary thinking and bringing about change, instead of management processes that are designed to maintain and steadily improve current performance.
Leadership means different things to different people around the world, and different things in different situations. For example, it could relate to community leadership, religious leadership, political leadership, and leadership of campaigning groups.
This article focuses on the Western model of individual leadership, and discusses leadership in the workplace rather than in other areas.
Leadership: A Definition
According to the idea of transformational leadership , an effective leader is a person who does the following:
- Creates an inspiring vision of the future.
- Motivates and inspires people to engage with that vision.
- Manages delivery of the vision.
- Coaches and builds a team, so that it is more effective at achieving the vision.
Leadership brings together the skills needed to do these things. We'll look at each element in more detail.
1. Creating an Inspiring Vision of the Future
In business, a vision is a realistic, convincing and attractive depiction of where you want to be in the future. Vision provides direction, sets priorities, and provides a marker, so that you can tell that you've achieved what you wanted to achieve.
To create a vision, leaders focus on an organization's strengths by using tools such as Porter's Five Forces , PEST Analysis , USP Analysis , Core Competence Analysis and SWOT Analysis to analyze their current situation. They think about how their industry is likely to evolve, and how their competitors are likely to behave. They look at how they can innovate successfully , and shape their businesses and their strategies to succeed in future marketplaces. And they test their visions with appropriate market research, and by assessing key risks using techniques such as Scenario Analysis .
Therefore, leadership is proactive – problem solving, looking ahead, and not being satisfied with things as they are.
Once they have developed their visions, leaders must make them compelling and convincing. A compelling vision is one that people can see, feel, understand, and embrace. Effective leaders provide a rich picture of what the future will look like when their visions have been realized. They tell inspiring stories , and explain their visions in ways that everyone can relate to.
Here, leadership combines the analytical side of vision creation with the passion of shared values, creating something really meaningful to the people being led.
2. Motivating and Inspiring People
A compelling vision provides the foundation for leadership. But it's leaders' ability to motivate and inspire people that helps them deliver that vision.
For example, when you start a new project, you will probably have lots of enthusiasm for it, so it's often easy to win support for the project at the beginning. However, it can be difficult to find ways to keep your vision inspiring after the initial enthusiasm fades, especially if the team or organization needs to make significant changes in the way that they do things. Leaders recognize this, and they work hard throughout the project to connect their vision with people's individual needs, goals, and aspirations.
One of the key ways they do this is through Expectancy Theory . Effective leaders link together two different expectations:
- The expectation that hard work leads to good results.
- The expectation that good results lead to attractive rewards or incentives.
This motivates people to work hard to achieve success, because they expect to enjoy rewards – both intrinsic and extrinsic – as a result.
Other approaches include restating the vision in terms of the benefits it will bring to the team's customers, and taking frequent opportunities to communicate the vision in an attractive and engaging way.
What's particularly helpful here is where leaders have expert power . People admire and believe in these leaders because they are expert in what they do. They have credibility, and they've earned the right to ask people to listen to them and follow them. This makes it much easier for these leaders to motivate and inspire the people they lead.
Leaders can also motivate and influence people through their natural charisma and appeal, and through other sources of power , such as the power to pay bonuses or assign tasks to people. However, good leaders don't rely too much on these types of power to motivate and inspire others.
3. Managing Delivery of the Vision
This is the area of leadership that relates to management .
Leaders must ensure that the work needed to deliver the vision is properly managed – either by themselves, or by a dedicated manager or team of managers to whom the leader delegates this responsibility – and they need to ensure that their vision is delivered successfully.
To do this, team members need performance goals that are linked to the team's overall vision. Our article on Performance Management and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) explains one way of doing this, and our Project Management section explains another. And, for day-to-day management of delivering the vision, the Management By Wandering Around (MBWA) approach helps to ensure that what should happen, really happens.
Leaders also need to make sure they manage change effectively. This helps to ensure that the changes needed to deliver the vision are implemented smoothly and thoroughly, with the support and backing of the people affected.
4. Coaching and Building a Team to Achieve the Vision
Individual and team development are important activities carried out by transformational leaders. To develop a team, leaders must first understand team dynamics. Several well-established and popular models describe this, such as Belbin's Team Roles approach, and Bruce Tuckman's Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing theory .
A leader will then ensure that team members have the necessary skills and abilities to do their job and achieve the vision. They do this by giving and receiving feedback regularly, and by training and coaching people to improve individual and team performance.
Leadership also includes looking for leadership potential in others. By developing leadership skills within your team, you create an environment where you can continue success in the long term. And that's a true measure of great leadership.
The words "leader" and "leadership" are often used incorrectly to describe people who are actually managing. These individuals may be highly skilled, good at their jobs, and valuable to their organizations – but that just makes them excellent managers, not leaders.
So, be careful how you use the terms, and don't assume that people with "leader" in their job titles, people who describe themselves as "leaders," or even groups called "leadership teams," are actually creating and delivering transformational change.
A particular danger in these situations is that people or organizations that are being managed by such an individual or group think they're being led; but they're not. There may actually be no leadership at all, with no one setting a vision and no one being inspired. This can cause serious problems in the long term.
Key Points
Leadership can be hard to define and it means different things to different people.
In the transformational leadership model, leaders set direction and help themselves and others to do the right thing to move forward. To do this they create an inspiring vision, and then motivate and inspire others to reach that vision. They also manage delivery of the vision, either directly or indirectly, and build and coach their teams to make them ever stronger.
Effective leadership is about all of this – and it's exciting to be part of this journey!

This monthHello Donald,
Thank you for sharing the 5 Cs with us. All five of the Cs are important leadership attributes.
Mind Tools Team
This monthIn the first article, an important factor was left out of the leadership story Its a thing called the Five C"s. They are caring, Courage , Competence, Commitment and Candor. Without these five items, leaders cannot maneuver throughout the ranks of their subordinates to get certain jobs accomplished. If a co-worker in your team has a problem with another supervisor and that supervisor is spreading rumors about your employee, you must be able to stand up to that person and confront them and set them straight. If a co worker sees that his or her supervisor does not have the moral courage to "defend " them, then the team has a "problem, A leadership problem.
Over a month agoHi FionaTamminga,
Mentors can most definitely help as you progress along any management and leadership path. By sharing their experiences and being there to talk things through with, you will no doubt more easily come up with a clear vision to inspire others.
If you want to use the Forums to share ideas and talk through things, that can also help. It would be great to meet you and hear more about what challenges you are facing.
We are always around to help, so just ask.

Now Is the Best Time to Own a Vintage Car
It is all too easy to cast a long glance to a bygone era, yearning to have been in the presence of Citroën 2CVs clogging European roads. A time where a Porsche 356 wasn't a ludicrously expensive item, or even when a new DeLorean could be had for the price of well-equipped Camry today. The past certainly seems like the perfect time to own a vehicle. While that may (or may not) be true, it is clear to me that today, yes today, is the best time to own the very same cars we wish surrounded us daily.
True, cars and motorcycles were more interesting back then, it's also correct to say that vehicles from "then" are more accessible today to work on in your own garage. Not to mention they are more tuneable and customizable than ever before. But the past is not all roses and sunshine, attempting to restore and run a 30-year old vehicle from any period other than the last decade or two is a completely different enterprise.
Only now are enthusiasts able to keep a greater number, and a eclectic stable of vintage metal on the road. We are in a golden age of old cars and motorcycles hidden amongst our midst. No longer are we forced to be interested in domestic or utility vehicles. Gone are the days of relying on garage sales and yearly meet-ups for parts and advice—we've got eBay and Craigslist!

Aside from the episode's jaw-dropping plot twists, there was one wardrobe change that still has folks talking.
Toward the end, Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) makes a shocking discovery that links her husband to a murdered sorority girl. This then called for a little me-time.
After running a hot bath and watching The Colbert Report, she takes off her wig, lashes and makeup to reveal her – and Davis's – natural side beneath.
It's a scene Davis thought up all on her own. According to a Tweet by the show's writer-producer Peter Nowalk: "In our very first convo," he wrote, Davis "pitched a scene where we see Annalise take off her wig." He hashtagged it inspiring, breathtaking, gifted.
This isn't the first time audiences have seen Davis's natural 'do. The actress rocked an edgy chic look for a 2012 L.A. Times Magazine cover and received rave style reviews for her hair at that year's Oscars.
In 2011, Davis told PEOPLE that daughter Genesis used to get weirded out by her hair changes. "The first time I took my wig off with her, she was like, 'Nooo!' She actually did that," said Davis.
Thursday night's episode, however, had fans screaming "Yes!"

Separate from yet aligned with your corporate brand, your talent brand is the candidates' perception and reputation of your overall employment offering. It's what they feel or think about your company as a place to work. 56% of global talent leaders say it's a top priority for their company. In a previous article I spoke of how to build your employer brand, now let's talk about how to bring it to life.
Sunita Khatri of Oracle Human Capital Management says that the quickest way to jumpstart your talent brand is by developing a strategy to leverage 'owned media' – any communication channel you can control and is unique to your brand. Your corporate website, careers pages, company blog, landing pages, newsletters, Twitter handles, press releases etc. are all opportunities to deliver a smart employer brand message. In addition, anything that establishes value in your brand (such as ad buys, job postings etc.) can be considered owned and yours to re-imagine. Be creative with these channels; how and what you narrate is the "act of marketing" and how others respond determines the health of your talent brand. As marketers target prospective buyers, you will target job seekers.
Maura McElhone of Clinch recommends introducing employer branded content into those channels previously primarily associated with your corporate brand. By positioning your employer branded content in front of those who are already fans of, or at the very least, are familiar with your product/service, and assuming your employer brand is strong enough; you stand to convert a good portion of those fans into potential candidates.
The next best way to amplify your talent brand is to equip your employees to be brand ambassadors. If your corporate culture creates a desirable and motivational experience for your employees (and they understand and believe in your mission, vision and values), they will naturally want to share their experience of working for you. Empower them to do so through enabling the sharing of content, job opportunities, day-to-day experiences and more (on and offline). Make sure you develop and communicate social media guidelines and clear objectives. On a more administrative level, make sure current employees are aware of and happy with the following:
- Compensation
- Benefits
- Opportunities for employee development and growth
- Rewards & Recognition
- Work/life balance
Moving on to social media, don't be afraid to experiment with different kinds of content on multiple different platforms to see what's best received where. Make sure the content you create and share is authentic and reflects your company's unique culture and values. It should inform, engage and entertain and be candidate-focused. Use created (press releases, blog posts, white papers, case studies and testimonials) or curated content, images, presentations, webinars, videos and infographics; mix it up. It's a good idea to develop a content calendar in advance so you know what you are going to post where, and what the messaging will be. Showcase what makes your company unique, how you have fun, what matters to your company, spotlight events or feature teams working on cool stuff. It's up to you.
As you go about bringing your talent brand to life, keep in mind these golden rules, from LinkedIn:
- Look in the mirror. Make sure that what you do (and don't do) is what you'd like employees to emulate. Urge your immediate team to do the same.
- Inform your leadership. Use data to gain support, ease concerns, and help explain your choice of platforms. If they are skeptical, start small and build wins with individual executives.
- Target your messages. With attention spans so short online, you need to grab your candidates' attention. The more relevant your message is to a particular audience, the greater its impact will be.
- Make your culture shine. It's never just about jobs. Focus on your people; their stories and emotions; to create truly memorable employer brand moments.
- Go Viral. For amplified results, find creative ways to get more people talking about your company's great culture. Your employees can be a great source of novel ideas.
- Be Visual. Dial up the 'show' in 'show and tell'. Bold and colourful images, graphics, charts, and videos can really bring your brand to life.
- Don't bite off more than you can chew. Setting up a new page is one thing; maintaining it and being responsive to enquiries can be another. Show that your efforts are scalable and sustainable on one platform before moving on to another.

When you want a plumbing service in Solihull done by an expert, you are likely to get the lowest price available. Although the cheapest does not mean the lowest quality, the most expensive does not also mean the best service. So, how do you know that you are getting the best value for your money for plumber Solihull?
Small-scale vs. Larger-Scale Companies
Most of the time, small-scale plumbing services are family-owned businesses and they have the cheapest prices in the market because they have sole ownership of the company. On the other hand, plumbing services from a large company tend to have higher prices because their plumbers are paid on commission, which prompts them to oversell their services. Essentially, the first priority of most corporate plumbers is not fixing clogged drain for the best price possible, but improving the bottom line of their employer.
Apart from that, large companies need to handle overhead issues that small-scale plumber Solihull does not, such as payment of employee's comp insurance and maintenance of large truck fleets.
Follow these tips to make sure you get the best prices for plumber Solihull:• Get References – before getting quotes, ask your friends and neighbours about their preferred plumber. • Get At Least Three Quotes – always get a minimum of three quotes before you agree with someone to have the services done. If not, you might end up paying more than you should. • Avoid Those Who Advertise on Radio or TV – radio and TV ads are expensive, which mean they will have to pass this on to you. • Schedule Service on Weekdays – avoid weekends, after business hours, and holidays because a plumber Solihull might charge a premium.

- Drug-Free Workplace Advisor
Please note: The Department of Labor ended the drug-free workplace program in 2010. Accordingly, it does not currently administer a "Workplace drug testing" advisory web page and is not responsible for the content of the linked sites.
Drug-Free Workplace Policy Builder
Developing a Policy Statement
The Policy Builder has 13 different sections, each addressing one of the questions listed below.
- What is the purpose/goal of your policy?
- Who will be covered by your policy?
- When will your policy apply?
- What behavior will be prohibited?
- Will employees be required to notify you of drug-related convictions?
- Will your policy include searches?
- Will your program include drug testing?
- What will the consequences be if your policy is violated?
- Will there be Return-to-Work Agreements?
- What type of assistance will be available?
- How will employee confidentiality be protected?
- Who will be responsible for enforcing your policy?
- How will your policy be communicated to employees?
For best results, you should build your policy in one session because no information you provide while using the system is saved or stored in any way.
Please note that DOL strongly recommends that you have your policy reviewed by a legal consultant, such as a labor/employment attorney, prior to distribution and implementation.

This class examines the role of science in the US environmental policy-making process. It investigates the methods scientists use to learn about the natural world, the way scientific knowledge accumulates, the treatment of science by advocates and the media, and the role of science in legislative, administrative and judicial decision making. It also considers how other political systems use science in an effort to put the US approach in comparative perspective.

Cybersecurity: mapping the ethical terrain
Governments and society are increasingly reliant on cyber systems. That reliance makes us vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can have powerful impacts on people's lives. Because of this, in liberal democratic societies governments have a duty to ensure cybersecurity in order to protect their citizens and, arguably, the people of other nations. But as recent events following the revelations of Edward Snowden have demonstrated, there is a risk that their pursuit of cybersecurity might overstep the
Grubby's Wacky Worms
In this video segment from Cyberchase, Wicked and Digit are following clues left by Motherboard to help them free the CyberSquad. To get the next clue from Grubby, they must use a fraction to describe their share of a box of worms.

Montreal clings to the fifth spot in MLS East and has never defeated the Red Bulls on the road.
Midfielder Ignacio Piatti leads the Impact with 14 goals this season, but has only one in his last six games.
Impact coach Mauro Biello had a bit of a media feud himself after his team's 3-1 loss to the New England Revolution Saturday night.
Italian newcomer scored a terrific goal in the 76th minute to seal the victory for the Impact.
The entire team will have to raise its game a notch to compensate for the absence of Didier Drogba, Impact captain Patrice Bernier says.
A sellout crowd of 20,801 packed Saputo Stadium Wednesday night to watch a friendly between the Montreal Impact and Italy's AS Roma.
"We played hard from the opening whistle and never slowed down," team captain says. "When we play like that, nobody can stop us."
All of the Impact's goals were scored from a central area inside the Union's penalty box and were the result of high-percentage finishing instead of hopeful shots from a distance.
Impact captain Patrice Bernier and retired basketball superstar Michael Jordan now have something in common: they both have their own line of clothing. Bernier has a new line of activewear on the market through Winners, including T-shirts, tank tops, shorts and jogging pants. "I wouldn't put myself even close to Jordan, but the more things […]
Eighteen years ago, 17-year-old Patrice Bernier had a crucial decision to make regarding his future.
The Impact is headed to the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League.
With little left to play for this season, the Impact is looking to become Major League Soccer's spoiler.
The Impact is moving from one red-hot opponent to another.
Gyasi Zardes and Alan Gordon scored in the second half as the Los Angeles Galaxy erased a two-goal deficit to earn a 2-2 draw with the Montreal Impact on Wednesday night.
With the Impact in the homestretch of a season to forget, at least one player has already written off the current Major League Soccer campaign and is already turning his attention to next year.
Unless my memory fails me, I believe the Impact's performance against the Columbus Crew last Saturday at Saputo Stadium was the team's best this year.
Sometimes, it takes a single case to throw a spotlight on a widespread problem that is threatening the health of our young people. That's what happened when a Montreal student athlete, Matthew Schryver, suffered a concussion while playing rugby when he was 14 years old. Matthew's concussion kept him off the field for the rest of the high-school season, but it also made him wonder how many young athletes received similar injuries and what the long-term consequences of sports-related concussions could be.

I'm a writer and history enthusiast, and I combine the two by writing historical fiction. I'm drawn to unique situations in history, especially ones that created rare opportunities and dilemmas for the people of the time period.
My novel of the French Revolution will be published by St. Martin's Press in 2017. The Wardrobe Mistress tells the story of Giselle, one of Marie Antoinette's wardrobe women who casually spies on the queen during the French Revolution, while torn between her admiration for Marie Antoinette, her involvement with a dashing young patriot, and the growing unrest throughout Paris.
From her position working in Marie Antoinette's household, Giselle Aubry is poised to see both sides of the revolutionary tensions erupting throughout Paris. When her uncle, a retired member of the secret du roi, a spy ring that worked for the old King, Louis XV, suggests that she take up the family legacy and report the Queen's actions back to him, she leaps at the chance, seeing it as an adventure and a way to be involved in the revolution. She also enjoys using her insight from Versailles in lively debates with Léon Gauvain, the handsome and idealistic revolutionary who courts her.
The revolution continues to gain momentum, and Giselle grows closer to the Queen, becoming one of the few trusted servants. Understanding the need for change, but pitying the frightened Queen, Giselle finds herself caught between the two irreconcilable sides. As the violence of the revolution escalates, she must choose where her loyalty truly lies, or risk losing everything – maybe even her head.

Depression Poems by Teens
Poems about Depression
Depression has become an epidemic amongst the teen population. Some of its prevalence can be blamed on hormonal changes as a teenager matures. However, the main reason for depression in teenagers is sadness felt as a result of struggling to get to know one's self and new intense feelings which are being felt for the first time.

"That was almost a relief, because then he can take all the steps," Jenner, 60, told Extra of what's next for her son. "It was like a godsend, so it's all good."
Kardashian, 28, was hospitalized shortly after Christmas for stomach problems, with Jenner confirming last week he had been diagnosed with diabetes.
Kardashian has shied away from the public eye for almost two years after significant weight gain and battling depression.
Jenner said what happens next are up to her son.
"It's one thing to say, 'Oh, I'm going to get on the healthy path,' but then you really need to get on the healthy path," Jenner said. "Rob has been to that happy place before in his life."

"Scott will always be part of our family and we love him very, very much. And he's the father of my grandchildren and he and I were together a couple days ago having a great time," Jenner said. "And he's doing well and will always be a part of our family."

Big Shout-Out to Ride Customer Service!
I know it's a well known fact that Ride has good customer service, but I just wanted to share my recent expirience.
I have a pair of 2012 Ride Capo bindings and the toe caps on them had started to fray pretty badly. I sent Ride an email on Thursday of last week explaining the situation and they said they will send out a new pair no problem. They were waiting on my porch when I got home from work last night :). With their extremely fast no questions asked customer service, I will not hesitate to continue to purchase Ride products in the future.
EDIT: Just to clarify, they sent me a new pair of toe caps, not a new pair of bindings. The toe caps are easily replaceable as they are just held on by screws.
You didn't have to send your original set back?
I've had similarly good experience with them when I needed a new cable for my Jackson Boas.
That is awesome customer service.
I'm having a hard time with Celsius customer service right now. One of the lace locks on the speedlace system doesn't hold the lace so I'm literally riding a loose boot right now. I've had them for less than a year. They made me track down my order from the place I bought it (I didn't save the reciept), take a picture of it, and now they want me to ship it to them so they can determine whether or not they can repair them or if they will replace them.
Not really wasting my time (2-3 weeks with no boots in the middle of the season) or money ($30 to ship) for a defective product (all other locks are in working order). I'm pretty pissed off right now. Kudos to Ride.
But still. Kudos to Ride and companies with good customer service.

Demi Lovato Warns Suitors: I Have Baggage
By many accounts, Demi Lovato is dating Wilmer Valderrama. But in the January issue of Glamour, the singer doesn't mention that older actor by name.
She does, however, respond to a question about her love life in general, going into detail about what she's seeking in a boyfriend.
