Mother Support : Going for the Gold
Feature your breastfeeding photos in this year's Action Folder! WABA is organising a global breastfeeding photography contest for WBW 2008. Ten winning photos will be selected, and contributors whose photos are featured in the Action Folders will be awarded US$100 for each published photo.
What are we looking for?
We need stories that illustrate support for breastfeeding. We are looking for any photo that TELLS A STORY of support. It may be a who, a what or a where! You may be the person who provided the support or the person who received the support.
Illustrate the kind of support you provided or that you received in a photo. When taking photos, think globally and locally! We encourage you to submit photos that reflect different ethnicity and that include breastfeeding children, from a newborn to a child of 2 years or more. Support takes place in different environments, so the support you illustrate may be in a home, in a museum, in a marketplace or in a field.
The theme for this photo contest is based on WBW 2008: Mother Support: Going for the Gold
Think of:
• encouragement and consistent help
• help and support via a computer and internet
• support through the telephone, the TV, a magazine, a newspaper
• a group of mothers or one person with whom concerns and joys were shared
• encouragement from a health worker or health professional to initiate breastfeeding or continue breastfeeding the family member who did household tasks
• a co-worker who helped secure a lactation room at a factory

Good winter driving begins with good preparation. Find out how to drive in winter weather from longtime rally driver Tim O'Neil.
Tim O'Neil is trying to save the world, one driver at a time. For the past 27 years, this longtime rally driver has traveled the country, teaching the dos and don'ts that come with making the road a better, safer place. Since 2000, most of that work has come from his Team O'Neil Rally School & Car Control Center, a sprawling, woodsy home base in Dalton, New Hampshire. It's a magnet not just for budding rally-car competitors but also for folks who want to brush up on their driving techniques, especially in winter. "Summertime makes us numb," O'Neil says. "We get used to the sunny days and dry roads, so that even really good drivers are petrified when that first snow hits."
Gear Up
Good winter driving, O'Neil says, begins with good preparation. He advises that every vehicle be equipped with two survival kits: one for clothing (extra jackets, gloves, hats) and another for equipment (jumper cables, flat-tire kits, flashlights, extra cell-phone battery, windshield-washer fluid). "You find some old Yankees around here and you open up the backs of their cars and you'll find they have their kits," he says.
Test Drive
Scrape off the summer rust by finding an open space and getting to know your car again. Slam on the brakes to find out where the antilock braking system (ABS) kicks in and whether your brakes in general need an adjustment. Does the car pull to one side? Also, try out your car's different driving modes, such as "sport" and "winter," and reacquaint yourself with how they affect the car's handling.
Stay Focused
Three simple words: Know your surroundings. If it's late in the day and a warmer afternoon has given way to cooler temperatures, ice may form. North sides of hills can be slicker than south sides. Bridges freeze faster than roads. And winter driving means you double the number of car lengths between you and the vehicle ahead. "When people aren't paying attention, that's often when they have accidents," O'Neil notes. "They're not monitoring the conditions."
Four Over Two
When it comes to tires, it's about quality and quantity. O'Neil advises running four snows, not just two, especially on front-wheel-drive vehicles. "If you come around a corner, the front will grip much better than the back and you may lose control," he says. Unsure what to buy? Find a trusted mechanic, O'Neil says, and ask what he runs on his cars: "When I had my shop, people used to come from all over to get the tires I put on my car."
Snow Job
Because snow tires are made with a softer rubber, the best ones don't necessarily offer a long estimated-mileage life. "They're designed to go over the snow and compress it to make it grippy," O'Neil says. A good winter tire with lots of life on it will leave a trail of crisp tread marks. If the trail looks like something smooth went over the snow, it's time to go shopping.
Eyes on the Prize
If you get locked in a skid, O'Neil says, the number-one thing to do is to keep your eyes on where you want to go. "You're more likely to steer in that direction," he explains. It may sound counter-intuitive, but in situations where the back of the vehicle is sliding around, turn the car in the direction in which you want to head, let off the brake, and accelerate gently: "The front will pull you out of the skid and help put weight on the back tires, giving them better grip."

It's funny how fast things can change. Just two days after finishing up an atrocious road-trip against three bad teams, the Phillies have won two straight against the Nationals, with a chance to sweep the series on Wednesday.
Cliff Lee allowed a solo home run to Jayson Werth in the fourth, but the Phillies came back to score four straight runs, which was all they would need in their 4-2 victory. The Phillies have now won six straight games at home.
Lee dazzles again
It seems like every start is the same. He works fast, pounds the strike zone, racks up the punchouts, and exits having only improved his season numbers. Yea he gave up a few mistakes (solo homers to Werth and Jeff Kobernus) but he was still flat out dealing tonight.
Lee tossed eight strong innings, giving up just the two runs on five hits while striking out nine. It's his third nine strikeout game in his last four starts, and his ERA is sitting at 2.53. He threw 110 pitches, 82 for strikes and walked none.
Frandsen provides knockout punch in sixth
Kevin Frandsen has quietly been one of the most consistent hitters on the Phillies when he plays. In the sixth inning, after Domonic Brown and Delmon Young both struck out with the bases loaded and less than two outs, Frandsen came through with a clutch two-RBI single to give the Phils a nice three run cushion.
Frandsen, who has to deal with sometimes not playing for two, three or four days or only having one at bat per game, has an average of .286 after play tonight. He is also hitting .300 with six RBI with two outs and runners in scoring position, and in the month in June his average is .375 with an OBP/OPS of .464/.923
Howard tripled? And Young doubles thrice
I thought it was at least worth noting that with his triple tonight, Howard now has more triples than he did in his 2006 MVP season when he was young and spry (sort of). Who would have thought.
Michael Young smashed three doubles tonight, and drove in a run. It took Young 29 games to get his first three doubles of the season.
Up Next…
Wednesday provides the Phillies a chance to sweep the series, but they will have to do it against the reigning N.L. wins leader Gio Gonzalez. Gonzalez is 2-1 with a 2.52 ERA in four career starts against the Phillies. He will be opposed by Kyle Kendrick, who has pitched well for the Phillies this year, but is coming off his worst outing of the year in which he gave up seven runs on ten hits to Colorado. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m.
25 Comments
Cliff Lee is just awesome. Hopefully, Cholly will find a way to get Frandsen in more. Michael Young has been on fire since that situation with his child is out of danger, which most likely accounted for his slump. Loving the fact that Ryan "bad knee" Howard swiped a triple tonight. Look out Cobb, he's coming after your triples stats. Lol. Keep up this groove Phils, cause the Braves lost to the Mutts!
Howard has 19 career triples. And 19 career infield popups.
Monday night's game was an example of a big problem for the Phillies. When Delmon Young plays in right field, they often need to use a defensive replacement or a pinch runner. Howard needs a pinch runner in late game situations. And, Charlie likes to use Galvis as a defensive replacement if he starts Frandsen at second. On Monday, they got caught so short of players that they had to bring up Lerud to pinch hit in a real key spot. This is a big problem. Against a left-hander, I think the Phillies should certainly start Mayberry who hits left-handed pitching well to avoid this short bench problem.
I would ask the fans to stop booing Jayson Werth. He gave the best years of his career to the Phillies and is giving his downhill years to the Nationals. So cheer him for the great years that he gave the Phillies.
Yep. I don't get the booing thing with Werth either.
He played well for the Phillies and another team was willing to pay him an obscene number of dollars to move on. Coming at the peak of his professional career Jason would never had had that dollar opportunity again.
In the era of free agency and big TV contracts, we're not going to see too many more Musials playing their entire careers with one team… if any.
Agreed on the booing — it's petty, silly, and bush league.
I think the booing might relate to the atrocious thing Werth said regarding the fans (I will make it my mission to see that no philies fan walks down Broad Street in celebration again) after some fan supposedly cheered when he broke a bone. Reporters were right in the area and said they heard no such thing. I don't boo – but I'm just saying I think that may be the reason…
IF Werth said that then I feel he was over the top with his choice of words. He probably shouldn't have said anything. But the fan probably booed because of his taking the contract which, again, is silly.
I just think that Jayson Werth was an INTEGRAL PART of the success of the team and to boo the guy is senseless. If he did nothing while he was here and the team was lousy and he left on "bad terms" for some reason then it may be more justified.
Agreed. His comment was very immature and disgruntled. He really hasn't done anything spectacular with the Nats – so why boo?
Regarding bad teams, I don't think Colorado is a bad team. Certainly, their record to date is not bad. The new third baseman made some spectacular plays for them, particularly the play on Pettibone which was one of the most spectacular defensive plays I have ever seen.
My feeling David is Manuel doesnt want to play Delmon but is forced to.
I also feel like it is Cholly kind of giving the finger to Ruben by playing D Young. You know like, "Ok, this is who you signed to play in the outfield. Well, then I am going to play him."
In which case Manuel's cutting off his proverbial nose to spite his face.
While I'm not a big fan of every one of Charlie's baseball moves I doubt he would allow the team to tank just to show up Ruben for his poor acquisitions. Charlie has more integrity than that. I think he keeps hitting his head against the wall expecting different results.
I don't envy Sandberg if he inherits this team next season.
Unless management is willing to clean house and suffer through a few truly terrible seasons in return for a half dozen real prospects it's going to be another cold decade – and with revolving-door management.
Damn – I just had a premonition of the Cubbies stealing Sandberg for a second time – next time as their manager after a frustrating and short tenure as the Phillies' manager.
The Cubs win the pennant!
The Cubs win the pennant!…
No manager is that good.
To quote from the movie Ratatouille, "It's not stealing if no one wants it".
Nice one Schmenk….
I never got the Werth hate either. 2008 isn't that long ago and wasn't it in 2009 or '10 that a lot of fans were crying for Ruben to extend him?? I've always been a fan of the guy and I'll root for him to succeed (except against the Phillies, of course).
I know as one of the fans that was wanting him to stay…I didn't understand his move to the Nats. At the time, I thought we still had the best chance to win the World Series and the Nats were just an awful team. The contract Amaro offered him was good but for a shorter period of time and he would have had way more of a chance to get another ring with us – then go for the long term contract with a then awful team. Even now, that team is totally over rated. Personally, I think Werth made a poor decision. If he played well for us for another 2 years he would have had way more options either with us or other teams. With that being said I don't hate the guy, but I don't appreciate some of his comments towards us either.
Johanna, I get what you are saying but NO ONE would have turned down that contract. I mean it's something like an $80MM difference …guaranteed money. Seriously…what was the guy supposed to do? What would YOU have done?
I said this when he signed, I would go with the team that has the best chance to win. That's just me.
The Phillies fans in Washington that night did cheer when Werth hurt his wrist Johanna. I'm sure that fuels his comments toward us.
I was there (on the third base side), but I could hear them. It was – I was actually embarrassed by it, sitting with some Nats friends of mine in DC that invited me down to the game.
Well that's reprehensible on the part of those fans. He could have made a comment about those fans in general, and I would have totally agreed with him – but to lump us all together like that wasn't right either. I would NEVER cheer for any player that got hurt that way. In fact I was watching that game on TV and I felt horrible for him.
I guess some fans are just asses. I'm sure he made the remark in anger. Who knows I may have done the same thing in that situation.
I think these guys have enough obscenities shouted at them at every stop to develop a tougher shell than Jayson had at the time, but in his defense, dunmb comments after broken wrist is tougher on any athlete's psyche than hearing disparaging comments about his family's lineage.
I think Howard is getting more triples because he doesn't seem to have the power to get it over the fence anymore since coming back from the injury.
Johanna – I think it's great that you take the stance of going to a team with the "best chance to win." Personally, I would not have left almost $80MM on the table. Especially since i would have already had success and would have been part of a championship team.
But here's the thing…Jayson Werth almost had the last laugh last season. The Nats were a very good team that won the division and might have gone further in the playoffs if Strasburg was on the postseason roster (who knows???…???). And, yeah, they're having their issues this season, too, but I wouldn't count out the possibility that Jayson will maybe get another ring before it's all over for him. I don't think we've seen the last of the Washington Nationals.
I hear ya Chuck A. That was a horrible decision to end Strasberg's year last year (in my opinion). They were hot, and they missed out on a good opportunity. This year he's been good but not all that great. Some teams have really rocked him. He's certainly not better than Cliff Lee!
Maybe my vision at the time Werth signed with the Nats was short sighted. I'm a fan can you blame me? LOL In retrospect, if he did sign with us, and had the same injuries – he would have been of no help anyway.
As far as contracts go, this is how I feel – if you are making 20 million or 40 million or whatever, you are still a millionaire right? Me personally, I'd rather win. To me that's the reason you play the game. I understand the reasons for taking the money, and I don't place any judgement on someone who would, it's just not what I personally would do. Obviously they promised him he would have a chance to win with them – and made good by building a good team.

Three Things You Can Bet On (And Win!)
Go ahead. Live a little. You know you want to.
Besides, sitting in front of that television watching baseball games and drinking beer all day could be a lot more fun if you just… live a little. And by live, of course I mean entertaining the idea that some Republicans might actually have some good ideas.
No, that's a lie. I'm talking about gambling. And you know it.
So if you're gonna gamble, why not gamble on a sure thing… ya know, so it's not so much like gambling. And just in case you worried you might have to do some work to find a sure thing, relax. RSBS and the trusted interns have already done all the work. So here 'tis, folks, three DEFINITE winners.
Add to your bankroll wisely…
Sure Thing Number 1: Albert Pujols
Uh… hello? If you haven't been convinced of Albert's transcending greatness yet, then you are either a) dead b) communist or c) dead. And for all you dead commies, know that Prince Albert went 4-5 with two dingers on Opening Day 2010. Eat it!
Sure Thing Number 2: Paul Lebowitz's 2010 Baseball Guide
From one prince to another, let it be known that the most ruthless, best writer you've never heard of is back, this time with the 2010 edition of his annual baseball guide. You can purchase it *here* on Amazon, or find it through his blogspot site or paullebowitz.com. Dude, if reading The Prince of New York isn't already a part of your daily routine, then what the hell are you waiting for? The man knows what he's talking about and this guide will help you with your fantasy teams and your exotic parlays! Oh, and you'll also gain an in-depth understanding of every aspect of all thirty clubs. Of course, if you don't check it out there's always the chance that I might have to break your legs… so… just sayin'…
And finally…
Sure Thing Number 3: Evan Longoria's Bad@$$ New Era Commercial
Yep. If you haven't seen it yet, get ready, 'cuz this commercial is a man-gasmic (I made that word up so pay me if you use it) trip down to Awesomeville (I made that one up too). Look, I love the Andrew Bailey, Nelson Cruz, Justin Verlander commercials… and Mauer is good and all… but jeesh, watching Longoria play this adventurous hero who takes his headwear seriously causes me virtual fits in a world where I am loyal to Albert and Albert only. Good thing it's all make-believe, or I might be heading to Albert-Rams-A-Louisville-Slugger-Up-My-Toosh-Opolis (I officially made that up too, but you can blame my sickish and oft pedantic colleague, Mr. Krause, for its idiocy).
So, what are ya waiting for?
Show me the money!
And don't hate me… 'cuz I'm right.
13 Comments
I love New Era. That was a funny commercial, too…if he really wore a hat that big on him, he'd be like a rap star. Which in and of itself is pretty funny.
Funniest part to me is when Longoria found the time to stop and introduce himself to the hottie on the bus. I LOL'd out loud.
Cici — That would be funny. Though somethin' tells me, Evan is more of a country boy.
Switching Jesus — Your name is divine. I think it had Jason Bourne written all over it, which, in turn, had James Bond written all over it.
Jonestein — I know. That was the BEST part. She's a looker. Evan is layin' down my groundwork.
See? If he'd been ridin my Trolley, we'd have caught up to that perp.
Ahahahaha! Well get on it, Mike. Get on it!
There's a reason you're the Street Boss.
And the hottie he catches a ride with on the scoot? Quite the adventure and love the madeupmanjings.
Buz – http://buzblog.mlblogs.com/
Prince — Boo yeah!
Jane — I think it might just work… let me try to overuse it now🙂
Buz — You're right. It took me three or four times watching it to actually catch that part, but yeah, definitely a highlight.
Hot commercial! I kinda suspected that Awesomeville would include Ybor City, Tampa and the bay. Not to mention the microsecond "hello" to the blonde on the trolley. Classy, Evan!
Very, classy, Randy. Thumbs up!

The Washington State University men's basketball team will take on Buffalo at the 2012 Cougar Hardwood Classic held Friday, Dec. 21 at Seattle's KeyArena, Idol Sports and Entertainment announced Thursday.
This will be the eighth-straight year for the Cougar Hardwood Classic which began in 2005 against Utah. WSU has also faced San Diego State (2006), The Citadel (2007), Montana State (2008), LSU (2009), Portland (2010) and Pepperdine (2011) in the game at KeyArena. The Cougars are undefeated at 7-0 in the Cougar Hardwood Classic.
This year marks the third all-time meeting between WSU and Buffalo, with the Cougars holding a 2-0 advantage. The schools haven't faced each other in 62 years, having last met Dec. 16, 1950 in Buffalo, N.Y. with Washington State taking the 70-49 victory. The first meeting came just a year prior as WSU defeated the Bulls, 56-44, Dec. 17, 1949, also in Buffalo.
The Cougars return 67 percent of their scoring from 2011-12, as they reached the championship round of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) and notched a 19-18 record. Seven lettermen, including three starters return for the Cougars in 2012-13, led by All-Pac-12 First Team honoree and league Most Improved Player, Brock Motum, and All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention honoree, Reggie Moore. Fourth-year head coach Ken Bone is looking for WSU's seventh-straight winning season which would be its most consecutive winning seasons since 1945-52.
Buffalo returns nine team members in 2012-13, including three with starting experience, highlighted by All-Mid-American Conference First Team selection Javon McCrea. The forward was just the third sophomore in the last 10 years to be named to the conference's first team. McCrea is the former MAC Freshman of the Year and increased his numbers to 14.9 points and 7.1 rebounds during his second season under head coach Reggie Witherspoon.
Witherspooon's team achieved a 20-11 record last season marking the third time in four years that the Bulls have recorded at least 20 wins. Buffalo finished 12-4 in the MAC and advanced to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament before falling to Oakland, 84-76.
Tickets for the Cougar Hardwood Classic will go on sale Monday, Sept. 17 at all Ticketmaster outlets.

There are two main types of Bombay cat today, the American Bombay cat and the British Bombay Cat, both species are generally black although some American Bombay cats are breed to have spots which slightly resemble those of a leopard.
The Bombay cat is a very distinctive domestic cat breed as they generally have black fur and either green or orange eyes depending on the sub-species. Bombay cat also has a long, narrow body and small heads.
The Bombay cat is thought to have a very similar personality to the Burmese cat, in that the Bombay cat is excitable and affectionate. This has meant that today, the Bombay cat is a very popular domestic cat breed.
Like the Burmese, the Bombay cat is a highly intelligent animal and is extremely energetic. The cleverness and activeness of the Bombay cat, ensure that it is generally a successful hunter.

It Must Be April
It's finally a nice spring day in DC. The sun is out, the birds are chirping, the Canadian geese have taken over everything. Oh, and the Nationals are already six and a half games out of first place. That can only mean one thing. It must be April.
I love this time of year. There's still hope for the Tigers and still hope for my fantasy baseball teams before the long slog toward September and mediocrity. It's warm during the day but not so warm that it's uncomfortable. The end of April is really one of the best times to be a baseball fan.
But this time of the year is also special for another reason. In the next few weeks, as the drama begins to build around the early season fortunes of various teams, drama also starts to build at movie theaters around the country as the first wave of blockbusters hit the screen.
But really, on a Friday afternoon like this it just feels good to sit back and reflect on making it through another winter (residents of southern California and other warm states are exempt from this contemplation). But, as we wait for all the inevitable drama about to unfold, it's also a perfect opportunity to appreciate the drama inherent in life. Not sure what I'm talking about? This should help:
Happy Friday!

You really outdid yourself this time Allen. Nice video.
April is a great time to be a baseball fan. The Tigers are in first place! ….this week…
Don't worry, Allen. The way things are going, I'm sure the Tigers will run away with the division.
Make that 7 and 1/2 for the Nats, lol.. merely one win so far for the season for them.. ouch..
I know hope is in the air in April, but don't hold onto that feeling for Detroit past May, lol😉
p.s. That vid was fuuuunnny. Cereal will never be the same.

Grave matters: Harkins Cemetery
VIENNA, W.Va.- Harkins Cemetery in Vienna is the final resting place of four Civil War veterans but they didn't all have markers until just a few years ago.
Among those buried in Harkins Cemetery are Civil War veterans Abisha Clark, Lafayette Nelson, Henry A. Headlee and Stephen W. Matheny.
A local man noticed several years ago that three of the four soldiers had either damaged or no grave markers, so he took it upon himself to repair or order new markers for the Civil War veterans.
"Nelson's original headstone was broken in half and covered by an ant hill," said Jeff Smith, Williams District coordinator for the Wood County Historical and Preservation Society's Rural Cemetery Alliance committee. "Being a veteran myself I knew that I needed to fix the marker to show respect for a soldier's grave."
Nelson's story was particularly tragic to Smith because of how young he was when he passed away. His father, Benjamin F. Nelson, signed his enlistment papers giving permission for his 16-year-old son to go off to war, according to Smith's research.
"I can't imagine a mother letting a son that young go off to war," said Smith. "It's such a tragic thing to lose a life that young."
According to Smith's research, Nelson was admitted to the hospital on April 30, 1865 and listed as being sick. He was officially discharged from service in June 7, 1865 and died exactly one month later.
"I was unable to find out exactly what happened to Nelson in my research," said Smith. "My best guess is that he came down with some sort of disease during his time in the military."
In 2011, Smith placed an order through the United States Veterans Affairs office to replace Headlee and Clark's markers.
"Private Headlee's marker was missing from the cemetery completely, and Clark's marker was worn down so much that it was illegible," he said.
The replacement markers were donated by the veteran administration after Smith filled out and submitted the proper paperwork.
"I got the records for these soldiers from a website that I'm a paid member of called fold3.com," Smith said. "Once I have the records and paper work finished, I simply mail it in and wait for the replacement markers."
Smith's hard work on the cemetery is especially important because all the work there is done through donations and volunteers.
"It's a real shame to allow our pioneering families' final resting places to turn into a place of shameful conditions," said Smith. "It's important to me to help take care of these places for the families who visit."
Dottie Joyce has lived beside Harkins Cemetery for the last 30 years and has noticed how it has changed.
"When we first moved here I barely knew there was a cemetery across the street because it was so overgrown," she said. "Over the years people have come to mow it, but no one really took the time to restore it like Jeff (Smith) has."
Over the years, Harkins Cemetery has been called a number of names including Harkness, Stapleton and Upper Briscoe Run, according to Smith.
"There are at least 118 burials in Harkins Cemetery and the earliest known grave was in 1844," he said. "The most recent burial in the cemetery was in December of 2008."
Joyce has tried to do her part to help make Harkins Cemetery a better place for visitors, she said.
Last summer she made a donation of two white stone benches on either side of the cemetery.
"I thought it would be really nice to have a place to sit," she said. "It can get very hot in the summer and I hope those benches might provide visitors a place to relax."
Joyce admits there aren't often additional burials, but that the cemetery is visited fairly often.
"Especially in the summer, several people a week stop by," she said.
She credits the renewed interest in the cemetery to the work that Smith does to restore the grounds.
"Before Jeff started working on it no one even knew it was there," said Joyce. "I admire him a great deal for the work he does."
Smith continues to take care of Harkins in the hopes that he can do more to restore the site in the future, he said.
There are numerous depressions, indicating the burial of someone who has no marker.
Unearthing and restoring as many of these types of lost markers are his ultimate goal.
"A life lived is a life worth remembering," said Smith.

Board approves UIC-Golden Apple
alternative teacher certification program
May 18, 2001
Springfield – The Illinois State Board of Education today approved a proposed alternative certification program designed to produce more elementary teachers for Chicago public schools.
The program, created by the University of Illinois at Chicago working with the Golden Apple Foundation and Chicago Public Schools is intended to help meet a projected shortage of elementary teachers for Chicago schools. Chicago officials expect to need about 2,000 elementary teachers this school year.
The projected shortage will be exacerbated when an estimated 80 percent of Chicago's experienced teachers become eligible for retirement over the next 10 years.
"It is important that we pursue all of our options to attract good people into the teaching profession and support them, to give our children every opportunity for success after school," said State Superintendent of Education Glenn W. McGee. Illinois has 10 alternative certification programs in place. Five other programs have similar features but do not fall under state statutes governing such programs.
The State Teacher Certification Board recommended denying approval for the program in part because of questions about the amount of reading instruction the program would provide. UIC and Golden Apple amended the proposal to answer those concerns.
However, state law requires the State Board to approve all alternative certification programs within 30 days if they meet requirements of the law.
The program, to begin this summer, will admit up to 15 prospective teachers all with non-teaching backgrounds. State law allows colleges and universities to partner with one or more non-profit organizations that support excellence in teaching to create alternative certification programs.
The goal is to get people into the classrooms that have real-life experience. Typically teachers with alternative certification will teach in their area of expertise – a CPA, for example, would teach math.
Following a strict screening process, the prospective teachers will undergo an eight-week summer training session including coursework and intensive clinical work in Chicago elementary schools.
Candidates successfully completing the first phase of training in education theory, instructional methods and practice teaching; pass the Illinois Test of Basic Skills and the Illinois Elementary certification test; and meet performance assessment expectations will get a one-year provisional alternative teaching certificate.
Those candidates will work full time in Chicago elementary classrooms under the direct supervision of mentor teachers and supervisors from UIC, Chicago schools and Golden Apple.
Finally, candidates successfully completing the second phase, including a rigorous performance assessment, will earn standard teaching certificates and will be able to teach full time.

Bluefield State College Receives Formal Notification of Continuing Accreditation from Higher Learning Commission
CreatedTuesday, February 28 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—Bluefield State College has received formal notification from the Higher Learning Commission that the HLC's Institutional Actions Council (IAC) has voted to continue the College's accreditation, with the next comprehensive evaluation to be set in 2021-2022.
The IAC also approved the initiation of distance education, up to 20% of Bluefield State College's total degree programs. This approval will allow the College to offer four of its total degree programs by distance delivery. The institution must return for approval to expand distance education as defined in Commission policy.
Dr. Thomas E. Blevins, Bluefield State College Interim President, received the formal notification in a letter from HLC President Sylvia Manning, following the Commission's February 21, 2012 meeting. Bluefield State College hosted a site-visit from a team of HLC evaluators last September. The College conducted a comprehensive self-study that spanned approximately two years, submitting its self-study report to the commission several months before the September 2011 visit by its evaluators.
"Bluefield State College is certainly very pleased to receive Higher Learning Commission approval of our accreditation status," observed Dr. Blevins. "We are also extremely gratified to have the Commission's approval to offer four degree programs by distance learning delivery."
"Many BSC faculty, staff, students, and administrators were involved in the College's accreditation effort, and we are grateful for the time, talent, and energy they invested," he said.

ALBANY, NY — Senator John Bonacic was one of several lawmakers to address protesters outside the capital building on February 28 to show their opposition to the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (NY SAFE), which bans the sale of assault weapons.
Many counties and towns in New York have passed resolutions opposing the law, and buses from all over the state brought gun enthusiasts to the rally. Assemblyman Marc Butler, who serves Herkimer and Fulton counties, said he recently held an informational session about the new law that drew about 1,000 residents.
He said, "Governor Cuomo's gun control law was an insult and a violation of the rights of all law-abiding gun owners. These men and women have the right to be heard by those in Albany, which is why we had this event."
Governor Andrew Cuomo, meanwhile, is considering amending the law to ensure that movie and television producers will be able to use the banned assault weapons when making films and TV shows in the state. This brought a sharp response from Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney, who also attended the rally. She said Cuomo's proposed amendment "completely defeats his own argument for curbing the prevalent violence in our society."
She said, "The governor is rewarding these purveyors of 'culture' in the aftermath of tragedies where one heinous crime in a theater was committed by a deranged lunatic dressed as a movie character who perpetrates untold amounts of violence—'the Joker' from 'The Dark Knight'—and another was committed by the mentally ill perpetrator of the Sandy Hook shootings, who was known to regularly play hyper-violent video games, including one in which the objective is to shoot fleeing civilians in an airport."
"The Dark Knight" reference is to the man charged with killing 12 people and wounding 58 in a theater in Aurora, CO in July 2012; James Holmes had dyed his hair to resemble the Joker character in the movie.
Meanwhile, towns in Sullivan County continue to pass resolutions condemning the law. The town of Lumberland, at its meeting on February 13, joined the towns of Fremont, Callicoon, Thompson, Deerpark, Delaware and Cochecton to pass a resolution condemning the law.
It's not clear if any group will bring a challenge against the law in federal court, but U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said recently it's not clear where the court might draw the line about which weapons would be protected by the Second Amendment and which would not. In response to a question about the matter in July 2012, Scalia said, "Obviously, the amendment does not apply to arms that cannot be hand-carried. It's to 'keep and bear.' So, it doesn't apply to cannons. But I suppose there are handheld rocket launchers that can bring down airplanes that will have to be—it will have to be decided."

Saturation Ion Currents to Langmuir Probes36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714200View Description Hide Description
The parabolic variation of saturation ion current with probe potential observed in dense plasmas is fortuitous and is not directly related to the effects of orbital motion. Agreement between measured and computed saturation ion characteristics is illustrated. The discussion is in the framework of collisionless, magnetic‐field‐free theories; they apply to the experiments only if the ion Larmor radius is much larger than the probe radius.
Magnetization of Polycrystalline EuS as Determined by the Pyromagnetic Method36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714201View Description Hide Description
Measurements of magnetization of polycrystalline EuS powder are obtained by the pyromagnetic method between 4.2° and 60°K in fixed applied fields ranging from 4 to 14 kOe. For fields sufficient to saturate (H 0≥12kOe), the data, as analyzed by Weiss molecular field theory with a new graphical technique, specify Tc =16.5°±0.2°K, in good agreement with the specific heat anomaly at 16.2°K. The observed behavior of the approach to saturation suggests a preferred choice of mechanisms for the origin of the large saturation field.
Electroluminescence and Lasing Action in GaAs x P1−x36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714202View Description Hide Description
The electroluminescence of Zn diffused diodes was studied in forward and reverse bias. Emission spectra obtained for forward biasing showed a near‐edge as well as a low‐energy line. In the composition range x>0.55, where the lowest conduction band minimum is at k=0, most photons are emitted in the near‐edge line. Lasing action could be observed in this range, and the shortest wavelength where stimulated emission was obtained at 77°K was 6380 Å. For x<0.55, where the lowest conduction band minimum is the (100) minimum, the low‐energy emission becomes dominant. The energy separation between near‐edge and low‐energy line varies between 0.4 and 0.47 eV at 77°K depending on composition. This suggests that the same defect is responsible for the low‐energy emission in all these diodes (including GaAs and GaP). In reverse bias, near‐edge emission and emission at higher energies than bandgap could be observed for x<0.55. The cutoff energy of the emission on the high‐energy side was measured as a function of composition. It was found to vary in a manner similar to the variation of the energy of the (000) conduction band minimum.
The external quantum efficiency of the forward bias emission drops sharply by two orders of magnitude at the composition x=0.55 when x is decreased. The efficiency of the reverse bias emission is independent of composition.
Transversely Pumped Magnetoelastic Instabilities36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714203View Description Hide Description
A detailed theory is developed for first‐order transverse pumping mechanisms arising from terms in the magnetocrystalline energy which are linear in strain. A physical description of these mechanisms is given in terms of direct and indirect interactions among the particle displacement and magnetization variables, and the instabilities of the medium are classified as direct or indirect according to the mechanisms involved. Numerical values of the thresholds are calculated as a function of propagation angle for longitudinal magnetoelastic instabilities in YIG pumped at 1000 Mc/sec. It is shown that two magnetoelastic instabilities have thresholds which are substantially lower than the second‐order spin‐wave instability threshold. The implications of this result relative to the parametric amplification of elastic waves and the interpretation of certain anomalous saturation effects in ferrites are discussed.
X‐Ray Yield and Line/Background Ratios for Electron Excitation36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714204View Description Hide Description
X‐ray yield in photons/sr/electron was measured for the Kα lines of Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu,Zn,Ge, Zr, and the Lα lines of Ta and Au. Incident electron energy was varied from 11 to 38 keV, and for some elements the take‐off angle for emerging x rays was varied from 6 to 45 deg. Theoretical yield values calculated after the method of Metchnik and Tomlin showed an average deviation of about 30% from the measured values, a very satisfactory agreement.
Line/background ratios were also measured for the same elements and conditions. Normalization to the natural x‐ray line breadths gave ratios between 100/1 and 26 000/1 depending on the element and experimental conditions. Line/background ratios are consistently larger at low take‐off angles indicating that the characteristic radiation must be generated relatively closer to the surface than the continuum of the same wavelength.
Investigation of Hot Opaque Arc Plasmas by Microwave Cavity Techniques36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714205View Description Hide Description
The behavior of a steady‐state argon arc plasma flowing through a cold 1‐cm circular copper pipe at pressures from 0.1 to 1 atm and gas flow rate of 2600 ml/min is studied by microwave cavity techniques. The high electron density (ne >1016 cm−3) and large density gradients in the arc preclude the usual simple interpretation of data. At this density it is however possible to interpret the cavity resonant frequency as a measure of the ``diameter'' of the arc column. Experimental results show the dependence of this diameter on pressure, arc current, and the presence of contaminant gases in concentrations as small as 10 ppm. A simple explanation of the influence of diatomic contaminants is given which attributes column contraction to enhanced thermal conductivity brought about by diffusion of dissociation energy. Dilation of column caused by krypton is attributed to enhanced electron concentration in the cooler regions of the plasma due to krypton's lower ionization potential. Calculations of thermal conductivity of argon‐contaminant mixtures are shown to correlate well with the experimental results. The microwave technique appears in a new role as monitor and judge of the plasma behavior.
Deactivation of Neon Metastables by Hydrogenic Impurities36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714206View Description Hide Description
Measurements are reported of the total cross section for deactivation of neon 3 P 2 and 3 P 0(2p 53s) metastables by inelastic collisions with H2, D2, CH4, and NH3. Observations were conducted by applying the methods of resonance radiation absorption and microwavediagnostics to the afterglow plasma following a weak pulsed discharge in a neon‐hydrogenic impurity mixture. The cross section for 3 P 2 deactivation by H2 was found to increase from 0.7×10−15 cm2 at 300°K to 2.5×10−15 cm2 at 650°K. The cross section for ionization of H2 by Ne*3 P 2collision was found to represent only a fraction of the above. The reaction which dissociates H2 and partly converts the metastable energy into Hα(6563 Å) light has been observed in H2, D2, CH4, and NH3 and may represent a significant contribution to the total deactivation in each case. No Hα light was produced as a result of the destruction of a helium 3 S 1 metastable by collision with H2.
Stabilization of the He–Ne Maser on the Atomic Line Center36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714207View Description Hide Description
Application of an automatic feedback control for long‐term frequency stabilization of a He–Ne optical maser at the center frequency of the atomic resonance is described. The length of the Fabry‐Perot resonator is modulated at a low frequency with small amplitude. The fundamental, second harmonic, and third harmonic components of this modulation frequency in the light output of the maser are used to control the tilt angles of the mirrors, the radio‐frequency excitation power input, and the separation of the mirrors, respectively. The frequency stability is determined by observing the photobeat between the outputs of two independently stabilized masers. Isotopically enriched samples of Ne are used in the two masers with one of them enriched in 20Ne and the other in 22Ne. The optical output of a maser stabilized in this manner is frequency modulated and the center frequency has been found to be stable to several parts in 1010 over very long periods.
Multiple Quantum Transition and Raman Action in Three‐Level Systems36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714208View Description Hide Description
A theory is presented of induced Raman emission in a three‐level system whose parameters are appropriate for microwave to optical frequencies. Solutions of the time‐dependent Schrödinger equation are obtained for arbitrary intensity of the pump and signal radiations, which are assumed to be not too many line‐widths off resonance. It is shown how the quantum‐mechanical aspects of the problem may be separated from the statistical‐mechanical aspects, in contrast to the density matrix techniques. The frequency dependence of the Raman emission on the frequency and intensity of the pumping radiation obtained by this method is presented and compared with the results we have obtained by other methods. The intensity and line shape of the Raman emission when the pump frequency is far off resonance are also obtained. The case of three interacting fields is also considered.
Standing Spin Wave Mode Spectra in Thin Permalloy Films Prepared in Vacuum of 10−7 Torr36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714209View Description Hide Description
The spacings between the standing spin wave modes excited in Permalloyfilms, prepared in a high‐vacuum system at pressures near 10−7 Torr, are found to obey a quadratic dependence on order number for the magnetic field normal to the plane of the film (H ⊥) as well as in the plane of the film (H II). The spacings and intensities of the modes, as a function of the angle φ which the magnetic field makes with respect to the film normal, indicate that the modes are nearly unpinned for φcrit>φ≥90° (H II), are completely unpinned at φcrit, and partially pinned for φcrit>φ≥0° (H ⊥). This type of pinning behavior is explained qualitatively by assuming that the films are nearly uniformly magnetized except for a very thin surface layer, of the order of ten lattice spacings, which exhibits a lower magnetization than the bulk. In addition, the observed pinning for the modes suggests that the boundary condition imposed on the transverse component of the magnetization at an air‐ferromagnetic interface is that the normal derivative of the magnetization vanish.
It is concluded that ferromagneticfilms prepared in high vacuum should be suitable for the determination of physical parameters, such as A/M, the ratio of exchange constant to the saturationmagnetization, as their spectra are relatively free from the anomalous features observed in all of the previously reported SSWM investigations. Experimental evidence is presented that these anomalous features are probably due to contamination of the films by both residual gases in the evaporation chamber and by impurities introduced by the vacuum system itself.
Mechanism for the Shock Polarization of Dielectrics36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714210View Description Hide Description
A new type of electromechanical coupling is postulated to explain the polarization signals resulting from the shock loading of nonpiezoelectric materials. The driving force is viewed as being proportional to the gradient of the stress. The electromechanical coupling constant is found for an ionic solid by deriving the effect for a linear ionic chain. A stress gradient of 1011 dyn/cm3 is found to give rise to a voltage gradient of 10 V/cm.
Resistivity of Xenon Plasma36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714211View Description Hide Description
By measuring voltage drop in xenon flashtubes the resistivity of intense xenon plasmas is found to bear an inverse square root relation to the current density. A weak dependence on pressure is discussed.
Ultraviolet Light Emission from Townsend Discharges in Hydrogen36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714212View Description Hide Description
The total ultraviolet radiation from self‐sustained Townsend discharges in hydrogen has been measured by means of a sodium salicylate wavelength shifter and a photomultiplier tube. The excitation coefficient per unit pressure δ0/p has been determined for E/p=80−250 V/Torr‐cm. δ0/p as a function of E/p passes through a maximum for E/p≈150 V/Torr‐cm. The pressure dependence of the radiation can be ascribed to quenching with a quenching pressure equal to 20 Torr. An attempt has been made to evaluate separately the excitation coefficient for the 21π u radiation by subtracting other uv contributions from the total light intensities observed.
Transient Motion of Space Charge through a Neutral Gas36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714213View Description Hide Description
The history of motion of charge carriersgenerated in a gap by ionizing radiation is investigated. The study is limited to cases where the field‐induced motion of these carriers overcomes their inertia and diffusion; the motion is thus completely collision‐dominated. The severity of the space‐charge effect is described by a single nondimensional parameter γ. When γ is not much smaller than unity, usual linearization procedures are inapplicable. The nonlinear problem is solved for two limiting cases. In the first, the electric current is carried by the free electrons and ions as originally created. In the second, the electric current is carried by positive and negative ions, the latter formed by electron attachment. The method of characteristics is employed to solve the equations of motion and exact analytical and numerical solutions are presented. It is shown that if γ>2 the nonlinear effects of the induced charges are important and depart appreciably from calculations based on linear approximations.
Modes of the Screw Instability in a Positive Column with Longitudinal Magnetic Field36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714214View Description Hide Description
The modes of screw instability in a positive column of a nitrogen gas discharge have been studied. Under a certain condition, the critical magnetic field for the m=2 mode has been found to be smaller than that for the m=1 mode. In addition, the regular oscillations have been observed at the magnetic field larger than the critical one. These phenomena can not be described by the results of Kadomtsev and Nedospasov which are calculated from the small‐amplitude theory. In this paper a theoretical explanation for these phenomena is proposed based on the conception that only the instability which has the maximum growth rate can grow while other instabilities are masked.
Pure Modes for Elastic Waves in Crystals36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714215View Description Hide Description
In an anisotropic medium there are only certain directions along which elastic waves can propagate in pure longitudinal and transverse modes. For the determination of third‐order elastic coefficients from sound speed measurements in stressed crystals it is desirable to know these modes. Using a method due to Borgnis the pure mode directions are determined for all crystal point groups belonging to the orthorhombic, tetragonal, cubic, rhombohedral, and hexagonal systems. The eigenvalue problem is solved for each of these directions, and the polarization vectors and the wave speeds are tabulated.
Determination of Third‐Order Elastic Coefficients in Crystals36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714216View Description Hide Description
Third‐order elastic coefficients can be derived from sound speedmeasurements in statically stressed crystals. The necessary relations between experimental data and elastic coefficients are here presented for orthorhombic, tetragonal, cubic, rhombohedral, and hexagonal crystal classes. For each symmetry a sufficient number of wave modes and stress systems is selected to determine all third‐order coefficients and to allow experimental cross checks. All the modes considered are pure longitudinal or transverse. They are selected so as to minimize the number of specimen orientations required, and following experimental procedures for uniaxial static stress, only wave modes propagating at right angles to the stress direction are considered.
Evaluation of Kossel Microdiffraction Procedures: The Cubic Case36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714217View Description Hide Description
A complete theory of the lens‐shaped intersection of Kossel lines in the transmission pseudo‐Kossel method is developed. The general expression gives the lattice parameter with respect to the characteristics of the interaction of two arbitrary conics, i.e., conics corresponding to arbitrary diffracting planes and arbitrary wavelengths. Geometrical considerations involving the conics are developed and from these, the errors involved in lattice parameter measurement are evaluated. Lattice parameter variations of 10−5 can be easily measured with suitably chosen conic intersections. The precision to be expected as a function of measurement errors is expressed as a sensitivity ratio and tabulated for an Fe‐3wt.%Si alloy. Several methods of reducing measured lengths to lattice parameter data are evaluated.
The IBM 7090 computer has been used to find suitable intersections for precise lattice parameter measurement. The computer supplies the wavelengths and conics to be used in the transmission pseudo‐Kossel method. Consequently, a long and tedious experimental investigation is avoided. Examples using Fe‐3wt.% Si are given; the lattice parameter for this alloy is found to be 2.86268±0.00003 Å. Proper radiations for investigation of Ge and diamond are indicated.
Thermal Phase Transitions in Superconducting Nb‐Zr Alloys36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714218View Description Hide Description
Experimental data are presented for the thermal propagation of a normal‐superconducting boundary along wires of Nb‐25%Zr, Nb‐37%Zr, and Nb‐51%Zr. The thermal propagation velocity was measured as a function of current at 4.2°K in constant longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields up to the upper critical field H c2 as well as in a zero magnetic field for temperatures between 2.5° and 11°K. Previous models which describe thermal propagation phenomena neglected the temperature dependences of the specific heat, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity. A more exact model is proposed here which takes into account the temperature dependences of these quantities, and all the present experimental data are in good agreement with this model. From a measurement at 4.2°K of the dependence of the thermal velocity on magnetic field, the high‐field transition temperatures as a function of magnetic field are calculated for temperatures above 4.2°K. In conjunction with the theory, the linear dependence of the thermal velocity on current implies a weak current dependence for both the transition temperature and superconducting‐state specific heat in Nb‐Zr alloys up to 3×105 A/cm2. A method is discussed for using thermal propagation techniques to determine the superconducting‐state specific heat in the presence of known transport currents and magnetic fields.
Elastic Constants of Cubic Lead Fluoride at Room Temperature36(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1714219View Description Hide Description
Using an ultrasonic pulse echo technique operating at frequencies ∼10 Mc/sec, we have obtained the following elastic constants for cubic PbF2: C11=8.88×1011 dyn/cm2, C 12=4.72×1011 dyn/cm2, C 44=2.454×1011 dyn/cm2 at 27°C. From these data a Debye θ of 221.2°K was calculated.

Adirondack & Rocking Chairs
Refine ResultsClear All
How I use it
About Adirondack & Rocking Chairs
It's not often a simple piece of furniture can take you to a more relaxing place. By setting up Adirondack chairs or outdoor rocking chairs in your backyard or on your patio, you're scheduling regular dates for downtime.
While Adirondack chairs come in all sorts of colors and materials, some of the most popular are unfinished wooden models that allow you to paint or stain them to express your individuality. Ace carries unfinished Adirondacks, finished Adirondacks and solid color, resin stacking varieties so you're sure to find the chairs that fit your style.
If you find the rhythm of rocking back and forth soothing, wooden rocking chairs are another option to help you relax indoors and out. Position two rockers and an outdoor side table on your front porch to establish a conversation area. Some people even line up a row of porch rocking chairs to create a more inviting look and capture an Americana feel. Placing a couple of colorful planters filled with greenery on either side of your porch rockers will set the stage for hours of rocking, people watching and sunset viewings.
Sometimes carving out time for relaxation is a simple as putting up a chair or two. Find the perfect Adirondack chairs or rockers to suit your style with help from Ace.

Looking more like Patricia Heaton, former "Star Wars" babe Carrie Fisher was spotted in NYC on Wednesday (left) appearing refreshed and more, er, rested than she was back in 2009 (right).
The slimmer, tanner and smoother 54-year-old recently opened up about losing 50 lbs on Jenny Craig.
The force is definitely with her.

Feral hogs in Bethel
May 30, 2012 —
WHITE LAKE, NY — The wild boar or feral hog problem in New York State is not nearly as dire as it is in states like Texas and Florida, where the explosion in the number of dangerous swine and the people who hunt them has led to the birth of the reality TV show "American Hogger." Still, the problem does exist in New York and, specifically, it exists in the Town of Bethel.
Bethel resident Susan Brown Otto gave a presentation about the problem to the town board on May 23. She said that a few weeks ago she was traveling on Goldsmith Road and came across four wild boar, a mother and three youngsters "in the middle of the road."
She said this type of wild boars pose danger to humans who might happen upon them. Her opinion was that these boars had escaped from a facility that raises boars to be hunted at a location. Called Pond Ridge Hunts, the website for the Delaware County organization lists the location on Goldsmith Road where, "Our hunting preserve is ideal for wild Russian boar, born and raised on premises. Ram hunting, deer hunting, and many other exotic animals available! Once you're finished with all the hunting, enjoy a nice, relaxing tour around our property!" (A phone call to the facility was not returned.)
Brown Otto said she was not trying to "put the damper on a business in Bethel," but she wanted the board to know about her concern. She said once the animals are loose in the wild they represent a big problem for farmers, gardeners and people with children or pets "because these animals are vicious."
Council member Richard Crumley (who passed away on May 27) said he had talked to a farmer about feral hogs, and confirmed that they are not nice. He said he thought "these things should be run out of Bethel."
Council member Denise Frangipane said this business had come to the town's attention once before, and that they were told at the time that the company was transporting people upstate to hunt, but none of their animals were here. "So are they operating legally?" she asked. "Technically, it's not agriculture, so do they have a license to keep these animals in the town?"
She further asked if the use is a permitted one in the zone in which it is located. She said if it's a health and safety issue, the owner should be compelled to fix the broken fence through which the hogs had reportedly escaped.
Town clerk Rita Sheehan said that anyone in the town who has an exotic animal, such as a cougar or an exotic snake, is supposed to register the animal with the town clerk, but she did not know if wild boar applied; she said she would look into it.
There is no problem here
The hogs can be eliminated relatively quickly, all it takes is a bunch guys over a couple of weekends with their deer rifles or shotguns with buckshot.
Do it now while it can be controlled.

Massive Opportunity for Stick Password!
I am sure that Sticky Password knows what is happening in RoboForm world. Lots of people bought RoboForm version 6 and below and they were promised lifetime upgrades.
Lots of people now have updated to their latest version 7, only to find out that it reverted back from the PRO version to the Free version.
RoboForm now wants the people to buy version 7, basically no free updates. Lots of people are mad and jumping ship. Mostly to the free version of LastPass.
Best regards,

During the holidays I had an outrageous restaurant experience that ended with the one and only cook in the place quitting. I was with my daughter at a two-top in a quaint, 35-seat restaurant for lunch. There was a group of eight women at one table, and a family of six at another. That's it. The only server working was a 35-year-old guy with long brown hair and a beard. He was a laid-back stoner dude who should have been surfing, not serving. From this point on, I will refer to him as ...
