Clubhouse confidential: Mike Sarbaugh will finish the season on the Indians big-league coaching staff after leading Columbus to its second straight Class AAA national championship Wednesday night with an 8-3 win against Omaha, Neb., in Albuquerque, N.M.
"Last year, we came out of nowhere because we were struggling at the end of the season," Sarbaugh said. "This year, we finished with the best record in the league, so there was more expectations."
To say nothing of winning the International League championship and the national championship while most of Sarbaugh's top players were called up to the Indians, who were hit hard by injuries and stayed in contention in the AL Central until mid-September.
Each Clipper received a $1,000 bonus for beating Omaha.
Old friends: When Jim Thome and his family are honored before Friday's game at Progressive Field, he will be joined on the field by his former manager, Mike Hargrove, and former Indians teammates Chad Ogea, Paul Sorrento, Carlos Baerga and Sandy Alomar Jr.
Stat of the day: Last year, Asdrubal Cabrera hit three homers in 381 at-bats. This year, he has hit 24 in 585 at-bats. Only one other Indians player, according to Elias, has had a bigger home-run increase (minimum of 250 at-bats in the first season) from one year to the next. Ed Morgan hit 26 homers in 1930 after hitting two in 1929.

Special to the Bridgeton News
VINELAND -- Tri-County Community Action Partnership will hold a meeting of Cumberland County non-profit agencies and service providers at 9 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 18, in the Luciano Center at Cumberland County College.
The event is free and serves as a follow-up to the Poverty Symposium II convened at CCC earlier this summer. County non-profits are invited to attend and discuss various topics that deal with more effective use of existing resources to empower all county non-profits and enhance their ability to serve their constituents.
Such topics include:
• Why collaborate and what are the benefits?
• What would a Cumberland Council of Non-Profits look like?
• How does the process begin?
• What shared activities are realistic first steps? Insurance? Purchasing? Advocacy?
• What is the message and who is the audience?
• What resources currently exist among potential council members?
• How can non-profits become more accountable and responsive as non-profits?
"It is not our intent to direct or dominate this council, but merely be the catalyst to get things started so that our various non-profits can work more closely together and benefit from that increased collaboration," Albert B. Kelly, president & CEO of Tri-County said. Kelly called for the convening of county non-profits at the July 9-10 Poverty Symposium II at CCC.
Event materials will be available beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 18. The event will run from 9 a.m. until noon.
For additional information, or to register for the Cumberland Non-Profit Council meeting, contact Blanca Rivera at (856) 451-6330, ext. 303.

In anticipation of Hurricane Sandy's arrival tonight during high tide, North
Bergen police are making the rounds along the waterfront, urging residents in low-lying areas to evacuate.
According to township spokesman Philip Swibinski, many residents have already responded to the suggestion, flocking to shelters at North Bergen High School and Kennedy Elementary School on 11th Street.
Swibinski added that the entirety of West Side Avenue has been closed due to extensive flooding.
Emergency crews are touring the township to check on residents and see if anyone is in need of help. North Bergen will continue to notify residents with any updates using the NB Connect system.

SoundRunner begins Saturday service tomorrow
KINGSTON — When the SoundRunner passenger-only ferry service began again a year ago, the Port of Kingston courted commuters. Now, port staff wants the community to know SoundRunner is for everybody. The port will launch Saturday runs to Seattle, beginning tomorrow, enticing families with $5 fares with children 5 and under free.
"The issue with SoundRunner is it's used by a few people who use it a lot," Port Commissioner Walt Elliott said. "Saturday service allows the community that pays for it to use it."
Despite some community opposition and increasing expenses, the port passed a resolution in April to continue the passenger ferry service through Sept. 30. Port commissioners and staff have held several meetings with legislators and other transit organizations, to come up with a plan that makes SoundRunner sustainable.
Elliott said if the port can show an increase in ridership this summer, SoundRunner can receive state funding in the budget and more grants to sustain service. His long-term goal is to set up a ferry district with players like Kitsap Transit and the other Kitsap ports, to bolster all public transportation in the area.
"It's up to the community," he said.
Commissioner Marc Bissonnette was the lone commissioner in voting against extending SoundRunner service, siding with the part of the community that didn't believe the service is affordable.
"We're not going to have the luxury of time," to market SoundRunner this summer, Bissonnette said. "I would love to see it work but I'm skeptical."
The Saturday service leaves Kingston at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., and Seattle at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. ORCA, the regional transit card, will not be accepted on Saturdays. The $5 fare will go into effect for all rides June 15.
In other business, port commissioners approved repainting and renumbering the parking lot. Work should begin next week, and will result in some closures of the lot. Once the project begins, Port Manager Kori Henry said it should be completed a week later.

Here is a good article on what Muslim girls go through in the West to escape Islam. The fact that "islam" is never mentioned in the article gives you a good idea of just how difficult this journey is. If western media, political elites, and government officials are afraid to speak of it, what shot do these girls have? Remember the beating Rifqa Bary took in the media? They tried to destroy her, and why? Because she left Islam.
The culture must change. Join us for the Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference on Honor Killing.
(Spiegel) Bahar ran away early on a winter morning, one-and-a-half years after her mother was murdered. She helped her younger siblings get ready for school, and then she gave them a goodbye kiss on the forehead. Her uncle and her brothers were still sleeping. Bahar tiptoed out of the apartment in her socks, walked down the stairs and out the door. And then she ran for her life.Today Bahar is 26 and likes to wear high-heeled shoes. She has chosen a popular café in a small city as a meeting point. She is wearing a modest amount of makeup, and her black hair is pulled back into a bun. She smiles tentatively and introduces herself, using the name in her new passport, which, for her protection, cannot be used in this article.
Bahar's family came to Germany from Iraq in 1996. They lived in the eastern city of Halle an der Saale for the first two years, in an apartment in a high-rise building with a dingy kitchen. Her father felt that most jobs were beneath him, beat his wife and "put out cigarettes on her skin," says Bahar. The father would sometimes disappear for months at a time. Bahar suspects that he was involved in criminal activities. "Everything was always peaceful without him. We even had a picnic in the park once," says Bahar. She took along some of the photos from that day when she ran away, but she can't bear to look at them, she says.
During those happy times, when she was alone with her six children, Bahar's mother came to the conclusion that she wanted to separate from her despotic husband. She went to the local town hall with Bahar to get information about German divorce law. When the father found out about it, he took a knife and locked himself in the bedroom with his wife on a summer night in 2003. Bahar holds up her hands to show us two scars: the evidence of her attempt to save her mother.
With the mother dead and the father sentenced to life in prison, an uncle took control of Bahar and her five siblings. He managed to make a caring and thoughtful impression on the youth welfare office, but it was deceptive. He used to turn up the music before he began beating the children. Bahar used makeup to hide the bruises. "I wasn't allowed to read books, and I couldn't even go out on the balcony anymore," she says. "Just cook, do the laundry and clean."
Bahar endured her life as a virtual slave for a year and a half. "Then I knew that I would either kill myself or leave."
Living in Fear
Germany in the 21st century, almost 60 years after the first guest workers arrived, is a country in which hundreds of female immigrants like Bahar live in hiding from their families. They have left everything behind: their home, their friends and their relatives. They refuse to abandon hope and allow themselves to be broken by the incompatibility of their own wishes with the expectations of their family and social environment. They don't want to conform to the traditional values of the regions where their families come from. Instead, they want to live like women in Western societies: free, independent and emancipated.
Every year Papatya, a Berlin aid organization, takes in 60 girls and young women who have run away from their families because of cultural conflict, and who had faced the prospect of abduction, forced marriage or even death. The Rose Shelter in Stuttgart receives 80 applications a year from women who have suffered in these ways. The youth help organization Yasemin documents about 400 consultation visits, while the website Sibel receives more than 300 calls for help each year. The organization Peri e.V. claims to have helped about 50 girls and women run away from their families since 2008.
The list of the female immigrants' countries of origin is long. It includes Turkey, Kosovo, Albania, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and India. A few months ago, a man from Sri Lanka poured boiling water over his daughter in a town in Germany. She had refused to accept a forced marriage.
Bahar fled to a women's shelter, but she was still afraid. "I saw my uncle on every street corner," she says. If someone on the bus seemed suspicious to her, she would get off at the next stop, holding a can of pepper spray in her hand. Bahar has moved to four different places since she ran away, and today she lives in a small city. She finished high school and entered a vocational training program, and she is currently in the process of getting her driver's license.
But despite her new freedoms, Bahar is still being held prisoner by her family. She has to lie to people, even those close to her, including friends, neighbors and coworkers. Anyone who learns about her past and her real name could pose a threat to her. Bahar doesn't allow anyone into her "fortress," as she calls her apartment -- not even her German boyfriend.
"He was surprised that my parents are so tolerant, but that I never visit them. He sensed that I was hiding something," says Bahar, lowering her head. When she still refused to confide in him, after being together for six months, he ended the relationship.
Family Was Not Very Religious
While Bahar is alone with her secret, Mariam, a 28-year-old woman of Lebanese descent, can share hers with her boyfriend Thomas, 34. Three-and-a-half years ago, they fled from Mariam's family together, but today they live in constant fear of discovery and the likely consequences. "One of my relatives was shot by her husband, because she had left him," says Mariam. "My family felt that it was the right thing to do."
There is much more. Go.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Opelika-Auburn News reports that Auburn University trustees today will take up a proposal today to revise the way it assesses tuition, potentially increasing costs for some students while lowering costs for students who complete their degrees more quickly.
Don Large, Auburn's executive vice president, said it is difficult to say how the changes would affect each student, but tuition-hour rates, distance education rates and registration fees for all students would be subject to the proposed reforms.
Among the proposed changes: charging a regular rate for distance learning courses and a flat registration fee of $446 for all students instead of the different rates based on state residency, the Opelika-Auburn News reported.

MacDonald: Give to get
June 18, 2013
The awareness of this creative process is of great advantage to those who want deliberate control of their success experience. If you give to get, then you get to give.
Imagine a life where you get to generate inspiring, vivid engagements and think only gravitating energetic thoughts of that which you want. That may be a lofty quest, and it is one you deserve to experience. Initiate inspiring and memorable interactions with others. Good things come from interacting with like-minded people. Direct your focus on what you want. Direct your energies and think about what you want to bring about.
Take a moment and imagine being with the people in your life, supporting you in every way and you supporting them as well. Envision yourself unencumbered with any negative or fearful thoughts and thinking only of that which you truly want for yourself. How would your life be different? What would you go for? What could you accomplish? What would you feel that you may have been repressing … up until now? How could you positively impact others? What legacy would you leave behind?
Before you read the next paragraph, take a minute or two and really associate with the exercise above. Truly take that in for yourself. See it in your mind and feel it in your bones. Breath it in.
As you did that, what did you notice about who you were and how you were behaving in that scenario? Notice what came up for you.
This week, your work is to bring forth more of that during your daily experience. Let's face it … you are not going to change the behavior of other people. The only person you can affect is yourself. However, by working on yourself, you may notice others being influenced by your behavior. GIVETOGET.
When people say, "Mind your own business," we typically think we may have encroached on another and that they are asking us to keep our nose out of their affairs. Conversely, I want you to start thinking of it as being mindful and setting clear intentions of what you want for your business and how you want to be. Your homework for today and the rest of your life is to Mind Your Own Business. Be intentional about focusing your mind on what you want to experience. GIVETOGET.
Just as we give seeds to the fertile soil in our garden to get a bountiful harvest, we give our thoughts to our mind so we may reap what we sow. GIVETOGET.
Make it up, make it fun and make it happen!

Growing up spending summers in Seaside, Florida, Danielle Daily was convinced that she'd spent her childhood on the most beautiful strip of beaches in the world. "I'm a little biased!" she laughs. So when she and David Kurland started to plan their October 27th, 2012, wedding, the choice for where to have it was an easy one. "I'm from Alabama, Dave is from Minnesota, and we live in Denver," says Dani, "so we know it would be a destination wedding no matter where we picked."
The couple decided to say "I do" with their toes in the sand, then celebrate with a laid-back reception with great food, live music, and an open bar. "We didn't want anything stuffy — just something our friends and family would enjoy," says the bride. So they put a sophisticated oceanfront spin on a shabby-chic feel, toning down the colors for the late October date, and had Dear Wesleyann come along to capture the fresh, airy details.
After what seemed like endless searching, Dani fell in love with a fitted Romona Keveza gown with elegant ruching and an off-the-shoulder sleeve. "It was appropriate for a beach wedding, but still felt classic and beautiful," says the bride. To accent the dress's soft feel, she carried a textured bouquet of peonies, roses, and ranunculus in shades of pink and peach, and added texture with succulents and leaves.
Dani made it clear early on that she wasn't into over-the-top proposals. "I told Dave that if he proposed with a megaphone, megatron, megaspeaker, or anything else mega, I would say no," she laughs. "It's not my style!" So when she came home one night to find flowers and candles everywhere, the couple's dog with a giant red ribbon with a ring around his neck, and Dave with a love letter he'd spent months writing, there was no question that she would say yes.
Dani's bridesmaids carried bouquets of pink-and-white hydrangeas, roses, and ranunculus to pop against their blue dresses.
The three bridesmaids wore cobalt dresses from J.Crew. "I gave them a color and let them pick the style they felt most comfortable in," says Dani. The flower girl, four-year-old Alayna, donned a blue seersucker dress with a white collar.
Ring bearer Nathan, three, wore a seersucker suit and a khaki tie. Just imagine how dapper he looked as he came down the aisle with his "Here Comes the Bride" sign!
The ceremony took place in the sand, beneath a wrought-iron altar decorated with flowers and greenery. Driftwood posts held mason jars filled with white and pink hydrangeas and roses.
Dani's father escorted her down the aisle to a string rendition of Cannon in D. Guests abandoned their shoes for the shore-front vows, timed perfectly to take advantage of the afternoon sun.
Dave and Dani sealed their vows with a particularly celebratory kiss. Guests tossed white rose petals as they walked back up the aisle.
As guests left the ceremony to head to the reception, buckets full of soft brushes helped them clean off their feet before donning their dancing shoes.
Dani, Dave, and their wedding party stuck around on the beach for photos. The groomsmen's khaki vests and blue ties complemented the bridesmaids' ocean-blue frocks. Dani's wedding gown, complete with flowing chiffon and a brooch at the back, was perfect for catching the ocean breeze.
The reception took place under the gazebo at Bud & Alley's. Flowing white fabric and chandeliers hung from the ceiling. "We had lots of lanterns and flowers in different types of vases," says Dani. "It was understated and romantic, and still had a beach feel." Hydrangeas, roses, and ranunculus were tucked into mason jars filled with shells and accented with local greenery.
After a first dance to "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz, the couple shared a father-daughter and mother-son dance to "The Way You Look Tonight." "It was such a sweet moment," says Dani. Guests dined on a southern menu of blackened grouper and panéed chicken, and sipped the couple's signature vodka lemonade out of mason jars. The couple got a small cake to cut as a nod to tradition, but went all out with the dessert bar. "We had mini-Key lime pies, boozy brownies, fruit tarts, and caramel corn," says the bride. "It was delicious!"
The couple stayed in Florida after the wedding to decompress before heading home to Denver. They have two fantastic tips for couples planning their weddings. "We have two very opinionated mothers," laughs Dani. "So sometimes it was hard to go with our gut, but we pushed through and did what made us happy."
And a great way to wind down and get everyone ready to celebrate? "The day before the wedding, we spent the day on the beach with our family and all of our friends," she says. "We set up tents, had coolers with beer, and everyone came to hang out. It was so great to get to enjoy their company before the stress of our actual wedding day!"

By Susan Hooks

The leaf shape is elliptical and the leaves alternate along the stalk. The leave have no leaf stalk and vary in size (2-6 inches long and .4- 3 inch wide) with the largest at the middle of the stalk and smaller ones near the top.

The Ouachita goldenrod is an endemic plant which has a limited distribution to the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Although many species of goldenrod are found in open sunny fields and roadsides, the Ouachita goldenrod is most often found on shaded slopes in filtered sunlight. It occupies a variety of habitats but the most common habitat is mesic oak/hickory forests along steep north facing slopes. It can be found from the upper slopes to valley bottoms near streams.

But could Lionsgate have saved a heck of a lot of money by casting "Real Housewife of New Jersey" Teresa Giudice in the role? Certainly she could use the work. With a little spray tan, Heigl would be a dead ringer for Giudice, who, like Stephanie Plum, has got the Garden State bona fides -- a penchant for tight clothes and Italian food, plus big hair and a mouth to match.
From the book: "I took a shower and spent some time on my hair, doing the blow-drying thing, adding some gel and some spray. When I was done I looked like Cher on a bad day. Still, Cher on a bad day wasn't all that bad." (This was published 16 years ago.)

Track List
Album Notes
Personnel includes: Olivia Newton-John, Cliff Richard, John Travolta.
Includes liner notes by Robyn Flans.
Digitally remastered by Gavin Lurssen (The Mastering Lab, Hollywood, California).
Personnel: Cliff Richard, John Travolta (vocals).
Liner Note Author: Robyn Flans.
Photographers: Herb Ritts; Claude Mougin; Michelle Day.
Olivia Newton-John scored 15 Top Ten pop hits between 1973 and 1983; ten of them are included on this 12-track midline-priced best-of, along with a couple of Top 20 hits from the same period. Personal taste (perhaps Newton-John's own, since she served as executive producer) may have governed the choice of selections, but the Newton-John fan nevertheless is likely to be disappointed by the absence of four gold or platinum singles, among them the Grease duets with John Travolta, "You're the One That I Want" and "Summer Nights." The singer's development from a country-pop singer on songs like "Let Me Be There" to a dance diva on "Physical" is traced in nearly chronological order through her hits over a decade, so the album does provide a précis of her recording career. But fans are likely to want to plump for a more complete hits collection than this one. ~ William Ruhlmann

Albania Travel Health Advice
Medical facilities (including those for accident and emergency use) are very poor in Albania, particularly outside Tirana. Comprehensive medical insurance, including evacuation by air ambulance is essential before travelling to Albania. There are high levels of hepatitis in Albania and rabies is also a matter of concern as there are large numbers of stray dogs. Tick borne encephalitis has been reported in the north of the country and it is advisable to receive vaccinations for these diseases. Tap water is not safe to drink and travellers should only drink bottled water. A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required for all travellers older than one year of age arriving from a yellow-fever infected area in Africa or the Americas.

About Todd Gloria
Learning from his parents the importance of leaving things better than you found them, Todd Gloria works enthusiastically and tirelessly to ensure San Diego is a truly great city.
Addressing the challenges of homelessness and affordable housing inspired him to pursue public office in 2008, when he was elected to serve as the councilmember for San Diego's Third District, consisting of the city's unique older urban neighborhoods. Thousands of affordable units were approved or constructed in San Diego since his election. By reallocating the city's limited homeless services funds to results oriented programs, Councilmember Gloria is using creative problem solving and national best practices to move homeless individuals and families onto healthier, self-reliant paths. He led the way for San Diego's first permanent year-round homeless service center and, as chair of the Regional Continuum of Care Council, he transitioned the city's interim housing facility from a 16-week winter tent system to a year-round permanent program assisting approximately three times as many clients annually.
Through his work at the City of San Diego and as a board member of the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), Councilmember Gloria has helped expand trolley service, implement Bus Rapid Transit service throughout the region, and add valuable bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
As Chair of the Budget and Government Efficiency Committee since 2011, Councilmember Gloria oversaw the development and approval of budgets that stabilized the city's finances after years of cuts, and restored critical services like library hours. As the city has rebounded from the global recession, Councilmember Gloria has successfully championed increased infrastructure investment, resulting in miles of smoother roads and the term "sexy streets."
Councilmember Gloria currently chairs the SANDAG Transportation Committee and represents San Diego on the SANDAG Board of Directors and Executive Committee, and is Chair Pro Tem of the Metropolitan Transit System.
He was selected by the City Council as its President in 2013 and 2014 and served as Interim Mayor of the City of San Diego from August 30, 2013 until March 2, 2014. Prior to his election in 2008, Councilmember Gloria served as District Director to U.S. Congresswoman Susan A. Davis and worked for the County of San Diego's Health and Human Services Agency. Todd's volunteer efforts to improve the community include his work as a San Diego Housing Commissioner from 2005 until his election to the City Council, and as a member of the Mid-City Prostitution Impact Panel.
In 2013, Councilmember Gloria was one of 24 individuals chosen for the Aspen Institute's Rodel Fellowship Program for Public Leadership, recognizing him as one of the nation's most promising young leaders in American government.

Five months after the surprise dismissal of Jeff Doroski as McGann-Mercy's varsity football coach, the school made a splash Friday in announcing his replacement.
Five months after the surprise dismissal of Jeff Doroski as McGann-Mercy's varsity football coach, the school made a splash Friday in announcing his replacement.
A group of about 15 parents asked Riverhead Town's recreation advisory committee to build a multi-purpose artificial turf field for lacrosse, soccer and football at the EPCAL site in Calverton. (more…)
Former McGann-Mercy High School student LauraLynne Duffy was recently named to the 2013 women's soccer National All-Academic Team in recognition for her outstanding performance on the soccer field and in the classroom.
Duffy, a midfielder from Cutchogue on the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) women's soccer team, was one of four player on her team to be honored. The announcement came from the United States Collegiate Athletic Association.
A junior at St. Joseph's, Duffy played in all 16 games for the Lady Bears and started 12. The Bears finished the season 5-11.
The USCAA National All-Academic Team members must be sophomore academic standing or higher and maintain a cumulative 3.5 grade point average to qualify.
Duffy is also a member of the swimming team at St. Joseph's. She finished third in the 200-yard freestyle in the team's meet against Lehman Friday. She was also fifth in the 100-yard freestyle was part of the third-place 200-yard freestyle team.
Duffy graduated in 2011 from Mercy, where she was also an active member of her school's drama performances. She took home Best Lead Actress in the Teeny Awards as a senior, one of numerous awards she won during her high school career.
Riverhead senior Carolyn Carrera — a three-sport athlete who plans to play lacrosse and soccer at Hofstra University — was honored this week as the winner of New York's female Wendy's High School Heisman Award.
The award is given each year to one male and female student in each state who demonstrates excellence in athletics, academics and community leadership. The 102 state winners are each entered into the national competition, where 12 students will be chosen as finalists and compete for a title on Dec. 13. The 12 finalists will be featured on ESPN and receive gold medals and $2,000 for their high school. The high school of each national winner receives a donation of $10,000.
Last month, Carrera was named one of 10 finalists for New York from a pool of 48,000 applicants. She was chosen along with John McCarthy of Corning-Painted Post West High School.
Carrera plays goalkeeper on the Riverhead soccer team in the fall. She also plays basketball in the winter and is a midfielder on the lacrosse team in the spring. She was an All-American in lacrosse last year.
Carrera has been equally successful in the classroom with a 98.75 unweighted average. She scored a 2040 on the SATs and is ranked third in her class out of 362 students. She is an honor roll student, member of the National Honor Society, the Latin Honor Society, Mentathletes and the Math Club.
She's also president of her class and has been active working with student government to raise funds to help former classmate Michael Hubbard. At Hofstra, Carrera plans to major in engineering or pre-med.
In June, Carrera was named a co-winner of the News Review's Athlete of the Year of the award for Riverhead.
GIRLS LACROSSE: Carrera picked for L.I. team Carolyn Carrera, a junior midfielder at Riverhead High School, has been chosen to play on the Long Island Metropolitan Team to compete in the 2013 US Lacrosse Women's Division National Tournament May 25-26 at Lehigh University. Carrera is the first Riverhead lacrosse player to be selected to a team of this national significance. The tournament features high school age players representing the US Lacrosse region in which they live and play. The Long Island Metropolitan Team is selected from the best high school girls lacrosse players in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The National Tournament began in 1933 as a tournament to showcase the best post-collegiate and club women's lacrosse players. Since that time, it has grown into one of the largest women's lacrosse events in the nation.
Zilnicki helps Farmingdale to title Farmingdale State captured its sixth consecutive Skyline Conference Championship after defeating Old Westbury, 2-1, recently in Farmingdale. The Rams earned the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Regional Tournament. Senior left fielder David Zilnicki of Riverhead led off the game with a walk and advanced to second on a bunt single by junior center fielder Edward Bergmann. After an Anthony Alvino sacrifice bunt, designated hitter Dalton McCarthy reached on a fielder's choice as Zilnicki scored to give the Rams (28-11) a 1-0 lead. Zilnicki also scored on Alvino's fielder's choice in the fifth for a 2-1 lead. Zilnicki went 2 for 3 with two runs scored, two stolen bases and two walks.
YOUTH SOCCER: Riverhead soccer showcase A youth soccer showcase will be held at the Riverhead High School boys soccer varsity field behind the Pulaski Street School on Sunday, May 19. The sessions will be from 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. for boys and girls from kindergarten through third grade, and from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. for boys and girls in grades 4 through 6. The cost is $5 per player.
If nothing else, the Southold / Greenport high school girls soccer team can say that it is undefeated against the Bishop McGann-Mercy Monarchs this season.
The Clippers defeated McGann-Mercy, the only team they have beaten this season, for the second time on Tuesday. Both teams entered the Suffolk County League VIII game with only one win each. Justina Babcock notched a goal and an assist and Megan Knapp assisted twice in a 3-0 result at Southold High School that snapped a five-game losing streak by the Clippers.
In a season in which they have seen their share of difficulties, it was a good day for the Clippers (2-9-1, 2-7-1), who were 2-0 winners over McGann-Mercy (1-11, 1-8) on Sept. 29.
"There were a lot of positives from the game today," Southold / Greenport Coach Kevin McGoey said. "We moved the ball around well. We were able to move it to the outside and get some crosses in to score a couple of goals."
For all of their dominance in the first half, the Clippers had only one goal to show for it. Babcock, a freshman midfielder in her first varsity season, broke the ice in the seventh minute with her fourth goal of the season. Chasing after a left-wing service from Knapp, Babcock beat goalkeeper Amy Boden to the ball and put her shot away.
A little later in the half, Mackenzie Lennox of the Clippers sent the ball off the right post and it bounced back safely into Boden's hands.
Nicole Busso made it 2-0 on Knapp's second assist in the 61st minute.
Chelsea Anderson completed the scoring less than three minutes later, knocking in a centering pass from Babcock.
Southold / Greenport goalkeeper Melissa Rogers didn't need to bother making a single save as the Clippers held a 24-0 advantage in shots. Boden made nine saves.
"Today we put together a lot of passes," McGann-Mercy junior center midfielder Brieanne Bieber said. "We worked well as a team. We played the game of soccer. We just didn't finish our shots today. We'd get an unlucky touch at the end or we'd touch it too far and their goalie would get it."
Both teams are in similar situations. The playoffs are out of the question and the losses far outnumber the wins, but spirits have been high, nonetheless.
McGann-Mercy Coach Jacki Paton said her team is making progress.
"We've had better possessions," she said. "We're putting a lot more passes together, which we didn't do in the beginning of the season, so we've improved as a unit together, and that was the goal."
The Monarchs dropped their ninth straight game since a 5-2 win over The Ross School Ravens on Sept. 23. Bieber said the record isn't an accurate reflection of how the Monarchs have played. She said the players are learning how to play together.
"We have a lot of good individual players, but we don't really necessarily click," Bieber said. "We don't put the passes together. We'll get one or two passes, but we need like four or five and then we need that shot at the end, and we have trouble getting all of that together."
The Clippers know all about that. With only three players back from last year's team, they knew 2010 wasn't going to be an easy road.
"It's been pretty tough, but we've been playing good even though we lost, and we've been playing really well as a team," Babcock said. "We've progressed a lot. It's been a good season even though we lost most of the games."
McGoey said his players are learning what it takes to play at the varsity level in terms of commitment and intensity, and they are making strides forward.
"They've improved every game we played," he said. "Unfortunately, the scores haven't always reflected our improvement on the field."
This bumpy ride of a season for the Riverhead High School girls soccer team continued on Tuesday.
After edging the Copiague Eagles, 2-1, on Friday, the Blue Waves fell to the Comsewogue Warriors, 7-0, on Tuesday afternoon. Comsewogue scored three quick first-half goals and, as Riverhead Coach Tim Page quietly said on the bus ride home, "they pummeled us."
Crysta Denis tallied two of the first-half goals while Kendall Frank had a goal and an assist. Comsewogue, using the give-and-go to exploit Riverhead , poured in four more goals in the second half. The Blue Waves (3-6 overall, 2-6 in Suffolk County League IV) inadvertently deflected two goals into their own net.
"Comsewogue has a good team," Page said. "They caught us flatfooted. We tried to keep up, but we have to learn how to mark better. Once we got down, we got even flatter."
Riverhead goalkeeper Carolyn Carrera made 14 saves or the final score would have been even more lopsided. The Blue Waves did not put a lot of pressure on Comsewogue goalie Kim Comstock (two saves). Riverhead 's Ashley Drozd had a couple of good shots on goal, but could not capitalize.
While the loss to Comsewogue (4-5-2, 4-3) was frustrating, the win over Copiague was uplifting.
Riverhead scored all the goals it needed in the first half, as Megan Weiss and Alex McKillop both found the net. Weiss scored at the 25-minute mark off a set play. She drilled the ball into the upper right corner of the net. Five minutes later, McKillop, off a pass from Drozd, blasted a shot from 20 yards out into the upper right corner of the net.
Copiague (1-8, 0-7) cut the Riverhead lead to 2-1 late in the half on a goal by Alyssa Tsistinis off a corner kick.
Both teams turned up the offensive pressure in the second half, but failed to score. Carrera made 11 saves. She came out aggressively on corner kicks to thwart a couple of Copiague scoring opportunities.
"Both teams had equal ability," Page said. "We both went back and forth, but we held on for the win."
After losing 13 seniors to graduation, Page said the Blue Waves are about where he thought they would be at this point in the season.
"We're a young team," he said. "We're still moving people around. We're trying to learn and hopefully find our groove."
Louis Manoussos knows the growing pains can be difficult. But the Bishop McGann-Mercy Monarchs boys soccer coach also knows what it takes to successfully build a young program. In their fourth varsity season, Manoussos knows the scores right now are irrelevant.
While it was a difficult week on the scoreboard for McGann-Mercy — Center Moriches beat the Monarchs, 7-1, on Tuesday after the Mattituck Tuckers had shut them out, 6-0, last Wednesday — Manoussos said, "The effort was there, but the execution isn't there yet."
In the game at Center Moriches, the Red Devils jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead before McGann-Mercy's Bereket Watts scored on a rocket of a shot from 18 yards out. Watts, who started last year as a seventh-grader, is now considered a veteran by Manoussos. Center Moriches (10-2 overall, 7-2 in Suffolk County League VII) scored the final five goals of the game. If not for 12 saves by McGann-Mercy goalkeeper Roger Young the score could have been even more lopsided.
Mattituck (9-1, 6-1), on its home field, thoroughly dominated the Monarchs (1-9, 1-6). The Tuckers, sparked by Andres Aldaz and Shawn Smiley, who scored two goals apiece, exploded for five first-half goals and added four more in the second half. Young had 13 saves. Cody Huntley (two) and Austin Scoggin combined for three saves as the Tuckers recorded their sixth shutout of the season.
"We are overmatched against the bigger schools like Center Moriches and Mattituck ," Manoussos said. "We don't have the experience to match up against them yet."
The Monarchs are starting two eighth-graders, one freshman, and three sophomores. They have six seniors on the bench, and Manoussos is preaching patience.
"I've decided to go with youth," he said. "I want the kids to gain experience so that we're better next year. The scores of these games are not a true indication of how much we have improved. We've gotten spanked, but we will only get better. There is light at the end of the tunnel."
Manoussos takes great pride in building a program.
"Right now we're competitive in the first half, but we don't have the experience to play a complete game," he said. "These kids don't give up. They are relentlessly on the ball. They play with emotion and passion. They are just young and inexperienced. Their conditioning is tremendous. They maintain their stamina. We're getting respect, so I know we're on the right path."
Manoussos firmly believes "we'll make some noise in a few years."
"We've just [got] to continue to grow and mature," he said. "This year we've added a junior varsity and a junior high team, which is a great feeder program. My vision is, what can Mercy do in one or two years? These kids really want to play. We're not very far off."

Select a support structure before you plant your climber. Common support structures are trellises, wires, strings, or existing structures. Some plants, like ivy, climb by aerial roots and need no support. Aerial rooted climbers are fine for concrete and masonary, but should never be allowed to climb on wood. Clematis climbs by leaf stalks and the Passion flower by coiling tendrils. Akebia and Wisteria climb by twining stems in a spiral fashion around its support.
Do not use permanent ties; the plant will quickly outgrow them. Use soft, flexible ties (twist-ties work well), or even strips of pantyhose, and check them every few months. Make sure that your support structure is strong, rust-proof, and will last the life of the plant. Anchor your support structure before you plant your climber.
Dig a hole large enough for the root ball. Plant the climber at the same level it was in the container. Plant a little deeper for clematis or for grafted plants. Fill the hole with soil, firming as you, and water well. As soon as the stems are long enough to reach their support structure, gently and loosely tie them as necessary.
If planting in a container, follow the same guidelines. Plan ahead by adding a trellis to the pot, especially if the container will not be positioned where a support for the vine is not readily available. It is possible for vines and climbers to ramble on the ground or cascade over walls too. Clematis and Roses actually work quite well this way. How-to : Preparing Garden Beds Use a soil testing kit to determine the acidity or alkalinity of the soil before beginning any garden bed preparation. This will help you determine which plants are best suited for your site. Check soil drainage and correct drainage where standing water remains. Clear weeds and debris from planting areas and continue to remove weeds as soon as they come up.
A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Pruning Flowering Shrubs It is necessary to prune your deciduous flowering shrub for two reasons:
1. By removing old, damaged or dead wood, you increase air flow, yielding in less disease. 2. You rejuvenate new growth which increases flower production.
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups: Those that
require minimal pruning (take out only dead, diseased, damaged, or
crossed branches, can be done in early spring.); spring pruning
(encourages vigorous, new growth which produces summer flowers - in other words,
flowers appear on new wood); summer pruning after flower (after
flowering, cut back shoots, and take out some of the old growth, down to the
ground); suckering habit pruning (flowers appear on wood from previous
year. Cut back flowered stems by 1/2, to strong growing new shoots and remove
1/2 of the flowered stems a couple of inches from the ground) Always remove dead, damaged or diseased wood first, no matter what type of pruning you are doing.
Examples: Minimal: Amelanchier, Aronia, Chimonanthus, Clethra, Cornus alternifolia, Daphne, Fothergilla, Hamamelis, Poncirus, Viburnum. Spring: Abelia, Buddleia, Datura, Fuchsia, Hibiscus, Hypericum, Perovskia, Spirea douglasii/japonica, Tamarix. Summer after flower: Buddleia alternifolia, Calycanthus, Chaenomeles, Corylus, Cotoneaster, Deutzia, Forsythia, Magnolia x soulangeana/stellata, Philadelphus, Rhododendron sp., Ribes, Spirea x arguta/prunifolia/thunbergii, Syringa, Weigela. Suckering: Kerria How-to : Planting Shrubs Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the
same level the shrub was in the container. If soil is poor, dig hole even wider
and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil
Carefully remove shrub from container and gently separate roots. Position in center of hole, best side facing forward. Fill in with original soil or an amended mixture if needed as described above. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.
If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well.
Finish by mulching and watering well.
If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds down and remove infested plants. Dry
air seems to worsen the problem, so make sure plants are regularly watered,
especially those preferring high humidity such as tropicals, citrus, or tomatoes. Always check new plants prior to bringing them home from the garden center or nursery. Take advantage of natural enemies such as ladybug larvae. If a miticide is recommended by your local garden center professional or county Cooperative Extension office, read and follow all label directions. Concentrate your efforts on the undersides of the leaves as that is where spider mites generally live. Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Although many people believe that cooler temperatures are responsible for the color change, the weather has nothing to do with it at all. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, a chemical clock inside the trees starts up, releasing a hormone which restricts the flow of sap to each leaf. As fall progresses, the sap flow slows and chlorophyll, the chemical that gives the leaves their green color in the spring and summer, disappears. The residual sap becomes more concentrated as it dries, creating the colors of fall. Glossary : Perennial Perennial: traditionally a non-woody plant that lives for two or more growing seasons. Glossary : pH pH, means the potential of Hydrogen, is the measure of alkalinity or acidity. In horticulture, pH refers to the pH of soil. The scale measures from 0, most acid, to 14, most alkaline. Seven is neutral. Most plants prefer a range between 5.5 and about 6.7, an acid range, but there are plenty of other plants that like soil more alkaline, or above 7. A pH of 7 is where the plant can most easily absorb the most nutrients in the soil. Some plants prefer more or less of certain nutrients, and therefore do better at a certain pH. Glossary : Small Shrub A small shrub is less than 3 feet tall. Glossary : Landscape Uses By searching Landscape Uses, you will be able to pinpoint plants that are best suited for particular uses such as trellises, border plantings, or foundations.

- Dealing with resistant pigweeds in Arkansas' Clay County
- No let-up
- Lessons learned
- Tightrope walking
- Programs
- Group effort in tackling northeast Arkansas Roundup-resistant pigweeds.
- Effort paying off for cotton producers in Clay County.
COTTON PRODUCER GREG Engle, left, and Andy Vangilder, Clay County Extension staff chair, are part of a northeast Arkansas group dedicated to combating resistant pigweeds.
Arkansas' Clay County is largely known for its excellent cotton. However, if not for the recent collective effort of producers, it could easily be known for its resistant pigweed.
Glyphosate-resistant weeds are not a novelty to area farmers. Before major populations of resistant Palmer amaranth showed up, they had to deal with resistant horseweed.
"We actually learned how to deal with horseweed using dicamba and Roundup Ready crops," says Andy Vangilder, Clay County Extension staff chair. "We've done a good job on horseweed."
Then, three or four years ago, farmers began finding Palmer amaranth that looked to be resistant. In 2009, Vangilder sent samples off for evaluation. They came back at resistance levels of 7 to 10 percent.
See related story here.
See related photo gallery here.
In the fall of 2010, "big clusters of pigweed – car-size patches -- showed up in areas we'd sprayed and taken care of properly. I sampled three fields and those numbers came back at 55-, 85- and 100 percent resistant. At that point, we knew pigweed was about to blow up and cause our fields major problems."
Vangilder began talking to Ken Smith, University of Arkansas weed scientist. Following Smith's suggestions, "we had a meeting with our agri-dealers in the area. We said 'this is what's happening and this is what it will take to control these resistant weeds.' They said 'if you'll put this on paper, give us your recommendations, we'll do it.' So, we put together a fact sheet for Clay County and our dealers brought in the needed products. They made sure our farmers had the chemicals."
Several of the leading farmers in the county then "started to talk about doing more, going with 'zero tolerance' of pigweeds. They began spraying their turnrows, chopping and keeping things really clean. More folks began doing the same and we've continued it through this season."
Farmers, watching the encroachment of hard-to-kill pigweeds, were anxious "to get ahead before it got too bad," says Vangilder. "And we still have grown-up fields that folks haven't paid enough attention to. But drive around this northeast Arkansas area and I don't think there's anywhere cleaner in the state."
During a recent tour of the area, "Smith was impressed with what the farmers here have been doing. It isn't just the fields – they want it all clean. They got hooded sprayers that won't drift as much."
As for the areas in the county where pigweeds are still evident, "you have to understand it isn't due to laziness. One of the problems, of course, is we flooded so badly up here early in the season. The corn was behind, planting of crops dragged. That meant there was much less time to spray these resistant pigweeds."'
However, Vangilder says such circumstances don't absolve the need to keep one's property pigweed-free. "Certainly seeing your neighbor's turnrow is clear while yours is grown up plays a role in everyone picking up the pace. There's some subtle pressure there. Everyone is starting to improve their efforts and I think 2012 will even be better."

E.Gordon Gee Announces Retirement
Ohio State University president E. Gordon Gee announced on Tuesday afternoon that he intends to retire on July 1.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that Gee will announce his intentions in an email sent to faculty, students, and staff.
"Without question, the university has achieved remarkable success, and it has been my honor and calling to lead it," Gee's email reportedly says. "Ohio State is well-positioned for the future. I love this university, and my relationship with it will continue."
The announcement will come not even one week after some controversial statements that Gee made regarding Catholics, Notre Dame, and the SEC were made public by the Associate Press.
The Dispatch also reports that the university's trustees met, in private, twice following Gee's remarks to plot the proper course of action. The first meeting took place on Jan. 31 and the other on March 8. According to the paper, "University officials say the board never took any public action at either of the meetings, but two days after the last one, two trustees sent Gee a letter outlining the plan."
Gee's retirement will mark the end of his second term as the school's president. He previously served in that position from 1990-97. The most recent stint began in 2007.
Former Provost Joseph A. Alluto will step in as the interim President.

Every NBA fan somewhere along the way has a conversation of who would be their all time NBA team.
The usual answers are filled with starting lineups of Jordan, Magic, and Bird, with a bench staring the likes of Oscar Robertson or Dwyane Wade.
I've always wondered what an all time team would look like if people were not allowed to choose all time greats for their bench, considering these players were barely ever seen on the bench.
So here is my all time bench. I'll probably change my mind as time goes on, but for now, this is my perfect bench. I didn't choose these players just on positional needs, but based on roles every team needs to have to be successful.

Andrea Deihl, Jay Girvin, and Kate Lamson will be the newest members of the board, which has now seen its membership swell to 13 people, after beginning its existence as a three-member board. The school had previously said that they envision an eventual 15-person board.
The three new members will join chairwoman Meg Woolmington, Eva Sutton, Daren Houck, Brian McKenna, Jeb Gorham, Don McKenna, Jeanne McWaters, David Monks, Rachel Schumacher, and Peter Niles.
Deihl has lived in North Bennington and Shaftsbury District 1, which sends its students to North Bennington, for over 20 years, according to a press release from the school. She is a communications consultant, with an expertise in marketing and brand differentiation. She has also written videos for Moving2Mastery, a non-profit organization who describe themselves on their website as "veteran teachers committed to attracting, training, and retaining a new generation of promising young teachers." She is also the vice-chairwoman of the Governor's Institutes of Vermont, a program that creates accelerated learning residencies on college campuses for Vermont teenagers. She is also the Past President of the Park-McCullough House Association.
Girvin is the senior partner of the New York-based education law firm Girvin and Ferlazzo.
Lamson is a former member of the State's Attorney's office of Bennington, where she worked as a prosecutor. She is currently a staff attorney at the Public Defender's Office of Bennington. Lamson received her law degree from the Vermont Law School, and has lived in North Bennington with her husband and daughter for four years. She is described as having a "deep affection for the community."
In March, Sutton, who was at the time the co-chairperson of the board, along with Houck, said that the board was looking to add members with diverse areas of expertise. At the time she named business, fundraising, and marketing as three such areas. At the same time, Sutton said that any new board members would have to be "people who have a pretty deep commitment to education."

First Bear Stearns, then last week Fannie and Freddie, and now there is talk about a government i.e. taxpayer bailout of Lehman Brothers. According to the link, Fannie and Freddie own about half of the $12 trillion mortgages in this country. How many trillions will we taxpayers be on the hook for?
The two major candidates for the Presidency (and the media) are barely talking about this financial crisis, instead focusing on Sarah Palin's eyeglasses and other trivialities while promising to cut taxes. Obama promised tax cuts for 95% of Americans in his acceptance speech in Denver.
I said in a prior post that the subprime mortgage mess was a giant ponzi scheme. Banks, at the urging of the Federal Government who wanted more minority homeownership, gave mortgages to people who couldn't afford them.
Bush said in 2004: "Not enough minorities own their own homes...and it seems to me to make sense to encourage all to own homes."
In June of 2002, Bush said: "...Three quarters of Anglos own their own homes, and yet less than 50% of African American and Hispanics own homes. That ownership gap signals that something might be wrong in the land of plenty. And we need to do something about it."...
If you only read one link on this page, this speech is very telling. Regarding high down payments, Bush said: "We can deal with that."
No money down, no problem! How ironic that this huge government bailout comes under a Republican administration who preaches "free enterprise", "free trade", etc... We also had a massive government bailout of the failed Savings and Loans under George Bush Sr. Privatize the profit, but socialize the risk!
How much more can the people get fleeced before there is real action taken? What about those of us who stayed in our small homes, didn't want to get involved in risky real estate speculation, and didn't believe in buying homes you can't afford?
McCain and Obama are talking about cutting taxes? How is this possible? Does anyone out there have a clue as to what is going on with our financial system?
What is the role of the Federal Reserve Bank in all this? You know, that mysterious quasi governmental monstrosity that most folks know nothing about.
What I am seeing is a totally unregulated financial system run amok and the only solution offered is government bailout. We need congressional hearings or some major investigation into what has happened to our financial system.
It's criminal that banks, investment banks, stock market speculators, and the chairmen of companies like Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers can gamble away trillions of dollars with absolutely no risk or consequences except to the shareholders and taxpayers.
Just what we needed, a government sponsored ponzi scheme!

For kids heading off to college, the anticipation of living on their own for the first time is exhilarating. The focus is on getting the gear they'll need, stocking their dorm rooms and buying books and school supplies. But there's another important issue, too. It's common that first year to see a 10- to 15-pound shift in weight -- either up or down -- and either is cause for concern.
Gaining the infamous Freshman Fifteen (or even the Freshman Five or Ten) can happen because college kids are for the first time enjoying complete control over their lives, choosing to eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. This may be just a short-lived, party-filled phase, but the weight gain is nothing to disregard. Remember: It requires more effort to lose those pounds than to simply not gain them in the first place. Or even worse, they may carry the extra weight around for years to come.
And though unintentional weight gain is almost never a good thing, a significant drop in weight worries me more. Weight loss may be a sign that a student is overwhelmed and feeling out of control in this new life. What he eats -- or doesn't eat -- can feel like one of the few things he can control.
It's easy to write off weight change to stress, too much partying, or simply the change in food and activity level. And that may be all it is. But a rapid shift in weight can also signify more serious issues with body image.
The college environment often includes pressure to meet a specific ideal, a perceived standard of appearance. And it can be a slippery slope -- what starts out as a few modifications to get in better shape can become all-consuming.
"It goes beyond what they're loading onto their cafeteria trays. It's about their thoughts and emotions that influence their behaviors, " says Tiffany Stewart, PhD, a psychologist at The Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge and co-founder of The Body Image Project, a movement to reframe body image.
Body image is a factor in eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder, but it's also a quality of life factor for those who don't meet the clinical criteria for an eating disorder, Stewart said.
Simply put, it's a waste of energy.
If you're spending a significant amount of time worrying whether you look good enough, you're missing out on what's happening right in front of you, every day.
Adults can encourage a healthy body image in kids and teens by becoming role models. Your positive behaviors can help not only those around you, but can give you a little body-image boost, too.
Stewart provides these five strategies for developing a healthier body image:
Define healthy behaviors: Think about what "healthy" means for your own body type, size and shape, and for your lifestyle.
Be skeptical: Scrutinize the influences around you (i.e. media, friends, teachers) and determine whether they have a positive or negative impact on your life.
Recognize your strengths: Shift your focus from self-criticism to a celebration of your strengths.
Don't judge: Resist judgment of others -- and yourself -- in your words, thoughts and actions.
Increase awareness: Evaluating your own beliefs will influence your self-worth, self-confidence and, ultimately, your behaviors.
"Become more mindful of your thoughts and emotions, and how they relate to your behaviors, " Stewart suggested. "A greater awareness leads to a higher quality of life, regardless of your age or stage of life."

7 Tips for Avoiding the Freshman 15
1. Keep a food journal. Tracking what you eat helps you to be more mindful of what you're consuming, and to avoid extra calories. You can write it, type it or log it onto a (free) website or a smartphone app.
2. Get some sleep. Sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain, so try to get at least seven hours per night.
3. Watch out for liquid calories. Not only from alcohol, but from blended coffee drinks and many smoothies, as well. Check the nutrition facts before you order to limit added sugars.
4. Stock up on healthy foods. Keep your fridge filled with lean proteins such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and low-fat cheese. Stock shelves with whole grain crackers and cereals, peanut butter, low-fat popcorn, nutrition bars and fresh fruit.
5. Eat regularly. If you have a marathon day of classes, take snacks (protein bars, nuts, string cheese) with you so you're not out-of-control hungry by mealtime.
6. Don't be too hard on yourself. It's OK to indulge occasionally. One missed workout or a single dessert won't make or break things. These choices lead to trouble only when they become the norm.
7. Get moving. Walk or ride your bike to class. Hit the campus gym. Meet friends for a workout instead of for coffee. Not only is it a great calorie-burner, but regular exercise is also one of the best stress relievers.Resources

Two masters of evil will perform together on one stage this summer in Reading.
Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson will co-headline a stop June 18 at the Sovereign Center as part of the "Masters of Madness Tour."
Tickets cost $29.75 to $49.75 and go on sale 10 a.m. Friday through Ticketmaster and the Sovereign Center box office.
Both artists together promise a theatrical show in horror and iconic metal music. Cooper, who pioneered the art of evil performance rock, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011 and has influenced newer artists to the genre.
Cooper, who also toured with horror movie metal master Rob Zombie, has still continued to shock audiences since breaking into multi-platinum status with his 1975 album release "Welcome To My Nightmare." Cooper performed at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center in July.
Marilyn Manson released his eighth album, "Born Villain," in 2012 to grab No. 1 spots on the Heavy Album Chart and Independent Album Charts.
For more information on the Cooper, Manson Reading performance, visit slpconcerts.net or sovereigncenter.com.

ST. MARTIN, Mississippi -- Thus far, it seems there's been more "Down South," and less "Party" for the filming of season three of the CMT reality series "Party Down South."
The show began filming on the Mississippi coast a couple of weeks ago. Production has taken place at locations such as Stagecoach Lounge just north of Ocean Springs, Biloxi beach and at the large, two-story home the production company rented for the cast in a secluded subdivision in North Biloxi.
So far, the cast and crew appear to have been on their best behavior.
"I really didn't see them doing anything wrong," said Ocean Springs resident Amy Byrd, who saw an episode filming in the parking lot of Stagecoach Lounge. "One thing I did learn: they call it `reality' TV, but you could tell it's all fake, all made up."
Byrd took a few photos of the production.
"We had already taken a bunch of pictures when one of the girls in the crew told us to stop," Byrd said. "We basically told her we could shoot pictures if we wanted to. They were filming in the middle of a parking lot, for pete's sake."
A neighbor near the home in which the cast is staying and filming said the visitors haven't been a problem.
"The whole bunch is at the house and it's across the canal from our home," said the neighbor, who asked not to be identified. "They are seldom out during the day and if so it's only to get a few minutes of footage. Yesterday, they shot about 5 fireworks, yelled `woo hoo' and it was over."
The neighbor said the cast and crew "travel in vans, white and silver, and other random cars. They have been no problem as far as noise, partying or raunchiness."
She also said the home was up for sale prior to it being rented to 495 Productions. The owner has relocated to Florida.
Both the Ocean Springs Board of Aldermen and the Gautier City Council, under tremendous pressure from their respective communities, passed non-binding resolutions asking 495 Productions to film "Party Down South" in locations other than those two cities.
There have been no reports, as yet, of any episodes shot in either location.
Prior to the start of production, The Mississippi Press received the following unsolicited statement from 495 Productions:
""We have appreciated the welcome that Ocean Springs has showed us thus far. We are truly looking forward to filming there, being a great partner and bringing economical gain to the community."
When asked for additional comment, Samantha Goldstein of AKR Public Relations, the New York-based firm which represents 495 Productions, responded "I am so sorry unfortunately we have no further information other than the statement I sent you previously."

Call it the Richardson Rise?
There needs to be a phrase coined for this, because it happens every season. Brad Richardson starts out on a lower line, then makes a rapid ascent. This year, he has done it even before the start of the season. Richardson started training camp as the fourth-line left winger. He moved up to third-line right winger after some ineffective play by Scott Parse. Now he's up to the second-line left-wing spot, replacing Simon Gagne, who moves up to the first line to replace the injured Dustin Penner. The Richardson Rise, in Terry Murray's eyes, is a product of Richardson's strong training camp and preseason, and Richardson is scheduled to play Friday on a line with center Mike Richards and right winger Dustin Brown.
MURRAY: "His camp has been real good, right from the first day. He's just coming off the playoffs from last year, when I thought he really started to show some signs of breaking through. He's got great speed and the line was very effective against San Jose. I think there's a lot of follow-up, confidence starting to show. He's a player who put a lot of numbers up in juniors. Sometimes with players, it takes a little bit of time. He's starting to feel it. It's starting to come. He has more of a shot mentality. He's more comfortable in tight situations with the puck on his stick. He's always been a player who can create separation with his speed. I just hope that he continues to go forward from here. It's a great opportunity for him, to move into a second-line situation right now, and that's what it's all about when you have some depth and balance. Good teams have that depth, to be able to move players to different positions, and this is one of those situations.''
