Adult author and former Atlanta Falcon Green (American Outrage) delivers a satisfying YA debut, using his own NFL experience to bring readers behind the scenes. Twelve-year-old Troy White's athletic ability and his preternatural talent for predicting football strategy are both going to waste (he's stuck playing second-string on his team), until frustration with a vicious bully on his team pushes him to "borrow" an official NFL football from local Atlanta Falcons star linebacker Seth Halloway. As Troy languishes on his own football team and resents the father who abandoned him, he strives to alert the Falcons of his gift: "Sometimes a kid's heart tells him to do something and he needs to listen, even if it means getting in trouble." Acting as a mentor, Seth encourages Troy to come clean about his adventures ("The truth is more important than the trouble it brings") and to forgive his father's desertion ("All I know is, things happen. Unless you're the one they're happening to, you usually can't understand it"). Seth ends up dating Troy's mother and coaching Troy's team, giving Troy the chance to shine not only on the sidelines, where his play-predicting ability helps bring the Falcons to victory, but on the field as well. "There was no rage fueling him now. It was something else, a blinding energy he never knew he had." Non-sports fans will root for underdog Troy ("I want to do something. I want to be something. I thought this was my chance") and enthusiasts will thrill to the firsthand knowledge Green brings to the novel. Ages 10-up. (July)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

Troy White is every football team's dream...even if they don't know it yet. Although he's in middle school, he is a great quarterback on his rec team, and he's got a secret talent-he can watch any football game and, after a few plays, he can call the subsequent plays before they happen. When Troy's mom, Tessa, gets a job as PR assistant for the Atlanta Falcons, Troy thinks he'll get the chance to use his gift and help his favorite team to a winning season. The boy finally manages to convince the star player of his hidden talent, but when it rubs the team's defensive coordinator the wrong way, Tessa's job is threatened. The race is on to try to save the Falcons' season as well as Tessa's job. Written by Tim Green, a former linebacker for the Falcons, this exciting story (HarperCollins, 2007) will immediately draw in sports fans. Narration is performed well by a full cast, including Green. Since so many different voices are used, there is sometimes a choppiness to the narrative. On occasion, overly melodramatic music overshadows the ending of a chapter or the beginning of the next one. A good addition for large libraries and those seeking to attract tween/teen boys.-Jessica Miller, New Britain Public Library, CT

Football Genius
Chapter One
Troy knew it was wrong. It was wrong to sneak out of the house after midnight. It was wrong to take something that wasn't yours. And, even though he wasn't that kind of kid, that night, he was doing both.
Usually, on a night like that night, the crickets' end-of-summer song and the moths bumping against the window screen would put him to sleep. Usually, he didn't hear his mom turn off the TV in the living room. And usually, if he was up that late, the water groaning through the pipes while his mom ran her bath would finish him off. But that night, worry kept him awake. Because he really wasn't the kind of kid to sneak out, and especially to take something that wasn't his.
But if he did have to quietly slide open the screen, straddle the window, and drop to the ground with a thud, this was a good night to do it. Stars swirled around the big yellow moon, casting shadows perfect for hiding. Shorts and a T-shirt were all he needed to stay warm.
He didn't plan on having to run, but he laced his sneakers tight in case he did. His feet fell without a sound over the path through the pine trees. He could smell the trees' sticky sap, still warm from the hot September day. An owl hooted somewhere close. A rabbit screamed, then went quiet. The crickets stopped, and only the buzz of mosquitoes filled the air.
Troy looked back at his house. It was nestled into the pines, with no side or backyard. In front, there was nothing more than a gritty patch of red clay. A tire hung from a limb at the edge of the patch. A target for footballs. The house was more like a cabin, a single-story box with a roofcovered by fallen pine needles.
Still, the weak orange glow from the night-light in the bathroom window was like a friend, calling him back. Away from the owl and the mosquitoes.
But Troy had other friends, and he dodged through the pine trees into the darkness, finding his way to the railroad tracks almost without looking. He stood on the steel rail, balancing his sneakers and looking down the long line toward the Pine Grove apartment complex, where his friends lived. He tried to whistle, but it came out wrong. He tried again, and again, before giving up.
"Tate?" he called, first soft, then louder. "Tate."
A whistle came back at him from the woods, high and clear, the way you'd call a dog. In the light of the moon, he watched two figures climb up the stony railway bed and start walking his way on the tracks. One of the figures was as thin as the rail she balanced on. Tate McGreer, a pretty girl with dark eyes, olive skin, and silky brown hair tied into a ponytail.
The other was big and burly. A twelve-year-old in the body of a high school kid. Nathan had a buzz cut like his dad and he liked to laugh, big belly laughs. He wasn't laughing now. His eyes were wide and shifting nervously, and he was puffing. Tate was the only one who stayed calm when they heard the low, sad sound of the coming train.
"The Midnight Express," Tate said, peering down the tracks. "It wakes me up almost every night. Atlanta to Chicago.
"Like clockwork."
They all scrambled back down the bank into the rocky ditch, and Tate chewed her gum and nudged them both and asked, "You got a penny?"
"A penny?" Troy said.
Nathan dug intohis pocket and came up with a nickel.
"That'll work," she said, taking it from him and scrambling back up the side of the railroad bed.
The ground underneath them was rumbling now. The train's light glimmered and shook. Troy yelled at her to come back. She set the money down on the rail, glared at the train for a moment with her hands on her skinny hips, then hopped back down into the ditch with them.
When the train went by in a rush of hot air, it roared so loud, Troy had no idea what Tate was saying, even though he could see that she was shouting at the top of her lungs. As the last car clacked away down the tracks, he asked her what.
"You see how big that thing was? It's like a warning, right? Like 'go back,' " she said.
Her dark eyes sparkled in the moonlight. Nathan had his hands deep in the pockets of his cutoff shorts, and he nodded at her words. Troy thought about the rabbit he heard screaming in the dark.
"Don't go," he said, shrugging. "I'm not making you."
"We're not going in," Tate said, snapping her gum. "I said that. But we'll wait for you on the outside. That's what friends do. Moral support."
"You shouldn't stand on the tracks when the train's coming like that," Nathan said.
"Aw," she said, swatting air, "if they see a person, they slow right down. Jam their brakes on. Sparks everywhere."
She skipped up the bank again and lifted the flattened nickel up for them to see. It shone in the moonlight.
"Cool," Nathan said, taking it from her.
Troy went up and over the rail bed, leaving them behind.
"Don't you want to see it?" Tate asked, calling afterhim.
But his eyes were on the wall. Already through the trees he could see it. Ten feet high. Cool gray concrete. It surrounded the Cotton Wood Country Club. Tennis, golf, and five hundred of the most expensive homes in Atlanta. He had driven down Old River Road once, past the massive front gates and guardhouses on the other side. When he asked his mom if she'd ever been inside, she glanced at him and said it wasn't a place for people like them. She said he shouldn't spend his time wondering or worrying about it.Football Genius. Copyright ? by Tim Green. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

I dont watch football often. i watch maybe a few games in the season and watch the superbowl only for the food, parties, and being able to talk about what happened the next day. I LOVED THIS BOOK. it was centered around football and i read it faster than most other books. it has great characters, and a great plot seeing a boy overcome his obstacles and pursuing his dream.
This book is about a kid that has a remarkable talent. He can predict plays in football games before they happen. He is a falcons fan and gets the star linebacker to be on his side. He has to prove that he can help the falcons win a Superbowl and steal the starting quarterback position. I liked this book because it was exciting and about football and an interesting story about how you have to take your chances in life. I would recommend this book to sports fans and boys around the world.
I have been a fan of Tim Green's adults books for years and now my son is anxiously awaiting more kid books fron him. Very entertaining!
Troy White may seem like any ordinary 12-year-old. He listens to his mom, doesn¿t steal or sneak out (well, maybe just once) and he¿s a pretty good athlete. Troy and his mother have each other to survive they aren¿t rich or poor but are happy together. But the one thing that separates Troy from every other 12-year-old is his ability to predict what could happen next. He can¿t predict what he might get on his next exam at school or what will happen to him in the next ten years, though. Instead, Troy can predict football plays before they even happen. Sounds cool, right? But what good is it if Troy can hardly use this gift? Then Troy¿s mom gets a job with his favorite team, the Atlanta Falcons, who aren¿t doing so well and have been basically losing all of the time. This seems like the perfect chance for Troy to help them out, and maybe they could finally win a game. But would the Falcons jump at the chance and actually believe that a young boy can predict plays, or would they just look at Troy as some crazy fan? With the help of Tate and Nathan, Troy¿s best friends, Troy might actually pull this off and maybe even learn a little more about his talents, other than his supernatural one. FOOTBALL GENIUS is a story that both football lovers and non-football fans will enjoy along with any person of any age. Tim Green uses cinematic descriptions that let readers feel that they are experiencing and present at the actual games. As a person who is not a big fan of the sport, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. **Reviewed by: Randstostipher 'tallnlankyrn' Nguyen

This book was the awesomest book ever i play football too so it really goes with me and i love the NFL BUT THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Great book! builds suspense as get deeper into book
'Football Genius,' by Tim Green will grasp not only your attention but your heart as well. As Bill Parcells, SuperBowl champion coach said on the back of the book, 'As close as you can come to NFL action without putting on the pads. Filled with excitement, suspense and great football.' Green, as many of you may remember, was a Defensive End with the Atlanta Falcons, and an author of over a dozen novels, including 'The Dark Side of The Game.' But 'Football Genius' is his first for young readers.Age is just a number as I, not a stereotypical young reader, couldn't put 'Football Genius' down. The story revolves around Troy White, a pre-teen who is being raised by a single mom, working in public relations for the Atlanta Falcons, and who has two best friends, Tate McGreer and Nathan.What is so special about this book. What makes it more than just a normal feel good story? Troy can predict football plays before they happen. He can tell what any player, any team will do. His gift attracts the attention of star linebacker, Seth Halloway. Could Troy's gift and Seth's playing abilities give Atlanta Falcons' fans and the players what they have wanted for years in reality and in this fiction story-a winning season? I am not telling, but I will say both young and old readers won't be disappointed with 'Football Genius'.
Must read
Football Genius is about this kid who can predict what play every football team is going to do once hr see's who is in the huddle. he starts off predicting sunday and monday football. he lives in atlanta georgia and is with in walking distance of one of the Atlanta Falcons LB. his friend bets him that he cant run onto the falcons players front lawn and take one of his professional footballs. that is when he meets the linebacker and becomes his friend and helps him to predict what their opponents are going to do so they can win as many games as they can. he gets field pass to one of the falcons games and tells the LB what he can do but he doesn't believe that it works until he tries it. i liked all this book, and there wasn't much not to like. the entire book was full of non-stop action and there was no down part. i highly recommend this book to anyone who likes sport book and want to have a good book to read.

Packers starting center? Only EDS has been ruled out so far
Orlando - Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy hasn't named a starter after the free agent loss of center Evan Dietrich-Smith to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But he doesn't think he's short of options.
It has been assumed that second-year pro JC Tretter, who did not play a snap all season because of torn ankle ligaments, would slide into Dietrich-Smith's spot. McCarthy said he was a logical candidate to take over the position.
The list of possible replacements, however, doesn't stop with him.
During a 50-minute interview session during a break at the NFL owners meetings, McCarthy said he has not ruled out adding a veteran or using a current starter on the offensive line to fill the spot. His plan is to let it all play out in the coming months.
"Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang and Don Barclay are all candidates out of that type of thing," McCarthy said. "Don't make a story out of it, I'm just saying we have flexibility, Josh is an all-pro left guard and JC is a young guy that we really like.
"We have options, we have player acquisition opportunites still in front of us. That will be obviously a position I'm sure we'll talking a lot about here in the months to come."
McCarthy said he has made one decision on the offensive line and that is Bryan Bulaga will return to right tackle. Bulaga played left tackle in college, started out at left tackle with the Packers, was moved to right tackle his rookie year and was moved back to left tackle at the start of last season.
Bulaga tore his ACL in the intrasquad scrimmage and was put on injured reserve. Rookie David Bakhtiari won the job in training camp and started all 16 games. McCarthy wants him to stay on the left side.
"We got a full season with the combination of David and Josh," McCarthy said. "I like that relationship. I like the productivity that came out of those two guys. I think David being a rookie, he'll be a year better, he'll continue to grow.
"David's a very young man. He's a young man with a lot of growth in front of him. It's not more about the position because you want to play your best five guys on the offensive line. We're just putting a little more stock in the relationships between the guard and the tackle or the guards and the center and trying to keep that going. So we're going to start out with David on the left side.
"I think Derek Sherrod, he's a little more natural on his, on the left side, as we found here at the end of this season working him both right and left. We're going to start him on the left side too."
Here are a few more tidbits from McCarthy's comments to reporters:
- He would like to bring back Matt Flynn, but he is still in the process of deciding whether to have four quarterbacks in camp. His preference is to have four, but it will depend on roster considerations.
- Rookie defensive end Datone Jones' ankle injury was more serious than thought and slowed him coming out of camp. He intentionally gained weight to help him be more stout, but when he dropped the weight later in the year he played better.
- He wants every running back to be able to play all three downs so that he doesn't have to rotate backs in and out of the lineup on any given series. He said he would like free agent fullback John Kuhn to return.
- He said he thinks the team is better on paper than it was at this time last year.
- The team will report for off-season workouts on April 22. He said there will be changes to the program, but he didn't indicate they would be major.
- There will be changes in the training camp schedule, but he did not discuss what exactly those would be. He said he was not happy with the way the team came out of camp last year and wants to make some adjustments.
- He said he would be in favor of an expanded playoff system if the owners decide to vote on it at future meetings.

Experts in a spin over chucking laws
Page Tools
Many former players are unimpressed with the proposal to redefine the rules, writes Chloe Saltau.
A controversial proposal to loosen the definition of a legal delivery, which would clear Muttiah Muralitharan to bowl his banned doosra again, was greeted with fears yesterday that it could change the way the game is played and encourage young bowlers to stretch the laws to their limits.
While some former players were less concerned about a uniform, 15-degree level of tolerance for elbow extension, saying it made sense to trust the naked eye of the umpire to that point, others condemned the sweeping changes being considered by the International Cricket Council.
Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott said the recommendations came on "a sad day for cricket" and claimed they were a result of pressure from Sri Lankan authorities campaigning on Murali's behalf.
And prominent spin bowling coach Terry Jenner said legitimising Murali's doosra would tempt young spinners to copy his controversial action.
"Young Dan Cullen, the off spinner for the (South Australian) Redbacks who I coach, he's got a beautiful action, doing all the legitimate things. Am I doing him an injustice if I don't now try and get him to stretch the boundaries?" Jenner said.
"I think it could change the game, not next month, but it's the next generation of spinners. If what you hear is true, that in Sri Lanka there's a lot of kids mimicking Murali, then it will be quite damning because then other kids will say, 'If they can do it, so can we'."
And if Ian Meckiff, whose Test career ended after he was called for throwing, had bowled under the proposed new regime, his action most likely would have been declared legal after testing.
Cricket Australia is yet to see all the data that guided the proposals, endorsed by a high-level ICC committee, and will deliver its response at a meeting of chief executives in February. But Cricket Australia operations manager Michael Brown said it was important to establish a set of procedures that tackled the emotive issue of throwing at all levels of the game.
He said Cricket Australia would even consider collecting footage of bowlers at domestic matches to help determine whether they throw.
One of the biomechanists whose research guided the expert panel that drafted the changes, University of Western Australia professor Bruce Elliott, said high-speed cameras could be used randomly at international matches, and particularly junior tournaments, to help form the basis of reports on potentially flawed actions.
The most extreme angle of extension detected when Murali's doosra was tested in a laboratory was 14 degrees, but the off spinner has not been tested in match conditions.
"(Where) video cameras have shown three-dimensionally that this person has 18 or 20 degrees of extension, then that person would go on notice as to having to be tested officially within a lab environment," Elliott said.
He defended the 15-degree proposal and Murali's right to bowl the doosra if the changes are implemented. "If he started bowling tomorrow, and no one knew who he was, he's got the sort of action that would catch the umpire's attention," he said. "But the truth of the matter is that he doesn't extend any more in bowling his doosra, which is the worst of his deliveries, compared to other people."
Former England bowler Angus Fraser, a member of the ICC bowling actions committee, said new technology would have found that players such as Dennis Lillee, Englishmen Fred Trueman and Ian Botham, and New Zealander Richard Hadlee, as well as himself, would have been chuckers if they were playing today.
"My action never came under suspicion and I would have been shocked if it had," a bemused Lillee said yesterday.
Lillee and Australian captain Ricky Ponting appeared unimpressed by the proposals.
"It is an issue that has been going on ever since cricket started and I don't think they are any closer to solving the problem than they were 100 years ago," Lillee said. "I feel as a person who played the game that I know when I see a guy who is suspect or I know when I see a guy who is clean."
Ponting said changing the tolerance level, which is currently five degrees for spinners and 10 for fast bowlers, would not stop bowlers chucking. "What they have done now will be so hard to monitor and it could create more problems," he said.
"I don't know how they will keep an eye on the bowlers and know that someone's arm is extending 14 degrees or 16 degrees, especially in the heat of battle. Imagine the last over of a one-day international when a bowler is running in. He won't hold anything back."
The change, which must be ratified by the ICC in February, would mean that no bowler is again likely to be no-balled on the field and that reports of players with suspect actions will diminish. The ICC recommended the change after testing at the Champions Trophy and other comprehensive research from human movement experts showed most bowlers straighten their arms.
Sri Lanka's governing body was delighted at the change. "Finally, all our efforts have been recognised by the ICC. We always maintained that Muralitharan will be able to bowl the doosra," said Sri Lanka cricket chief Mohan de Silva.
Former West Indian great Michael Holding, a member of the panel, said there was little choice but to introduce the new interpretation. "The scientific evidence is overwhelming," he said. "When bowlers who to the naked eye look to have pure actions are thoroughly analysed with the assistance of the sophisticated technology, they are likely to be shown as straightening their arm by 11 and, in some cases, 12 degrees."

PBS-via-BBC series Sherlock is making its first trip to San Diego's Comic-Con this month, reports EW. But the popular modernized take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous sleuth will be absent stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Neither Cumberbatch nor Freeman will appear at the convention despite being favorite genre stars of the moment, in particular Cumberbatch, who's just coming off of Paramount's Star Trek Into Darkness and I'm told never was scheduled to attend. Both actors are also in Peter Jackson's still-filming Hobbit sequels, which Jackson revealed yesterday won't be represented at Comic-Con 2013 at all. That's where Freeman will be spending his Comic-Con: on the set of The Hobbit. Instead, co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss will bring geek cred to the Sherlock panel; Moffat and Gatiss came up with the series take while writers on BBC juggernaut Doctor Who. Sherlock producer Sue Verte will also join the panel, time and location TBA. The third season of Sherlock is expected to premiere stateside in 2014.
PBS Bringing 'Sherlock' To Comic-Con Without Series Stars
11 Comments
I guess Ben Who? got the message that he still has a relatively small number of fans here.
Ben Who? Ha..ha. The guy has A LOT of US fans alright. Case in point, the PBS event in NYC where the moment he came on stage it was like Beatlemania. And that was before he even appeared in Star Trek. The guy is also Smaug so he sure is gonna be eaten alive in SDCC. Him not attending may be due to film commitments– one can't deny the fact the he's in-demand in Hollywood. Or maybe it's because his people are just afraid for him getting trampled by fans. He's a goldmine. Sherlock/Star Trek/ The Hobbit? Come on.
I also heard from friends from Tokyo where Star Trek will premiere next month that he is the center of the advertising there. They're even sending him to promote the film. I dunno if the other stars are attending but from what I heard he's big in Japan.
What a childish remark! There are way, way more lesser stars and even unknowns that pimp themselves in SDCC. Cumberbatch is a geek god by now because of his three franchises.
Nah. I attended a panel in SDCC during my US trip last year and they mentioned Cumberbatch's name and people were screaming. The guy has star power alright.
He's just busy shooting his Hollywood films.
Dude the reason he's not going is cause he's too busy with other stuff at the moment. Like his 6-7 films coming out in the next 2 years.
Typical arrogant response. Wake up call. Fact is, the US isn't as important as it once one in the Entertainment industry. Sherlock and for that matter The Hobbit are popular world wide. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are well loved worldwide. Even by those rare birds in the US who watch PBS. Whether you or anyone else in California have heard of them or not is insignificant.
And some of us are just as happy to see Moffat and Gatiss as we would be to see our dear Cumberbatch and Freeman. The brilliance of Sherlock is in the writing first and the incredible performances second.
SDCC was a small comic convention for a long time. There's no reason a person has to have a large number of fans to have a panel at SDCC.
When's it appear on eztv.it?
Uhm, no. You're wrong.

Founder of Buddha Dordenma Image Foundation HTML version
1990 (35 years old) – Present
Rimpoche has been actively teaching the Buddha's Dharma in many countries apart from Bhutan
including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Canada, USA, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia and
Singapore. The ultimate aim of Rimpoche is to propagate the timeless principles of the Buddha's
Teachings impartially to worldwide Buddhist followers so as to unite them in one single faith of
Buddha's Dharma regardless of any differences.
Whatever offerings made to Rimpoche have always been dedicated by him to Buddha's
activities. Even ordinary stones that are the only precious jewels that can be offered by a person,
as long as one is fully devoted to Buddhas, Rimpoche invariably keeps them safe with him.
Instead of rejecting, Rimpoche incessantly tries to bridge all beings with the path to
enlightenment. When the time has come, the offered stones are subsequently placed into the
construction of holy objects, such as monasteries, stupas and the Buddha statues.
1995 – 2000 (40-45 years old)
The Dharmakaya Stupa Scripture Translation and The Stupa-Building
Rimpoche managed to translate the Dharmakaya Stupa Scripture from the Gubta Nagara Dharma
language to English with the assistance of an American professor, Mr. Ives Waldo. The scripture
was published in 1998 and as many as two thousand copies were shipped to Ohio, USA. The
proceeds were then allocated to build a 19-foot-tall Dharmakaya Stupa in Ohio in 2000.
To attain the supreme enlightenment, all beings must accumulate both virtues and
wisdom. This reason gave rise to the building of the Dharmakaya stupa which is a manifestation
of the Buddha's wisdom and compassion. Its visual presentation can be viewed on our website,
https://www.dordenma.org/dharmakayastupa.html. It encompasses the Perfect Teaching which
shows the Path that leads all beings to liberation.
1995 – 2004 (40-49 years old)
The Mani Kabum Scripture Translation
The near-two-thousand-page-long Mani Kabum Volume I & II expound on the prophecies and
teachings of the Great Compassion Chenrezig (Guanyinpusa). Rimpoche had been meticulously
working hard to translate them from the Gubta Nagara Dharma language to English in America,
assisted by the same American professor Mr. Ives Waldo. The Mani Kabum Volume I & II have
been completely edited. The proceeds have been planned to be allocated in the Buddha Dordenma
Image Foundation (www.manikabum.com).

Pongakawa teenager Michael Scott will make the step up to New Zealand's premier single-seater motor racing category next month.
Scott, who turned 18 this month and has just completed his final year at Te Puke High School, is one of only two New Zealand drivers so far to confirm an entry against a strong international contingent in the Toyota Racing Series.
The series starts at Teretonga near Invercargill on January 12-13 and is the next rung on the motor racing ladder for Scott who began his career racing karts at the local Te Puke and Edgecumbe tracks from age 11.
Last summer was his most successful, finishing runner-up and top rookie in the New Zealand Formula Championship and also winning the annual one hour Formula First Grand Prix at Manfeild.
"I could have gone back to Formula Ford again but I felt I was ready to step up," said Scott, who will begin a mechanical engineering degree at Canterbury University next year.
"TRS is the best benchmark of how you compare with drivers from overseas.
The cars are equal, the engines get balloted to make sure it's a level playing field and it's all down to your ability to drive and set-up the car."
A number of deals are still being finalised but the five-round TRS series over five consecutive weekends and culminating with the NZ Grand Prix at Manfeild on February 10 already has confirmed entries from Canada, Great Britain, Australia, the Netherlands, Ireland, Austria, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Norway, Thailand, Malaysia and Brazil.
The profile of the series has been boosted with a TV package that will screen the racing in Europe, the UK and Australia.
The only other Kiwis confirmed so far are defending TRS champ Nick Cassidy (Auckland) and Damon Leitch of Southland. Leitch will be a team-mate to Scott in a three or four car squad fielded by Nelson-based Victory Motorsport.
"I'm looking at TRS as a two year programme," says Scott.
"My goal this season is to be the top rookie and to make the top five or six. I'm up against much more experienced drivers and some of them are competing in TRS for the second time after a full season of Formula Renault in Europe.
"My advantage is that some of them have come straight out of karts into Renaults or other 'wings and slicks' cars. I've had two and a half years driving Formula First and Formula Ford cars which teach you good racecraft.
"So while it's a big step I would say the step between Formula First and Formula Ford was just as big."
Since the Formula Ford series wrapped up Scott has contested four rounds of the Victoria State Formula Ford Champs in Australia and completed five days testing a Formula Renault car at three different circuits.
Testing in the TRS cars is restricted to official days but several Formula Renault cars have made their way to New Zealand for driver training. They use a similar chassis also manufactured by Tatuus in Italy with a 2.0-litre Renault engine that has about 30hp less than the TRS racer.
"With the testing I've done and four rounds in Australia I feel I am race fit," says Scott.
"My goal is to be tidy and consistent. I finished every race in Formula Ford last year with my worst placing being fourth. I also finished all of my races in Australia and I want to continue like that."
The other advantage Scott has is the knowledge he gained by attending Motorsport NZ's Elite Academy programme in Dunedin during July.
"Driver's from other countries wish they had something like our academy. It was a fantastic experience," says Scott.
"You do simulator and stress tests and it teach you about fitness, nutrition and media work - pretty much everything that can help you."
Having played First XI hockey for Te Puke High School, Scott says his cardio fitness was at a good level but the academy identified the need to build strength and since then he's added gym work to prepare for the season ahead.

Veteran Spouse Network
Happy Holidays from everyone at the Veteran Spouse Network! VSN staff will be out of office Dec 23- Jan 1. We hope you get to spend some time with family and friends this holiday season, and we'll see you in the new year!
Our Mission
Mission Statement
Giving voice to veteran spouses engaging in research on veteran families.
Military spouses have long understood it takes strong families and communities to support each other while facing unique challenges during military service. This is also true when the family transitions to veteran status. The vision of the Veteran Spouse Network (VSN) is encourage veteran spouses to become involved in research on veteran issues through a collaborative network of veteran families, research scientists, and service providers. Identifying and addressing veteran family issues with a patient-centered and family-led approach ensures that clinicians and researchers are focusing their efforts on projects that address not just perceived needs of the military community, but those articulated by the community itself.
Veteran spouses, this is your project. This endeavor will not be true to its core values unless your voices are considered from start-to-finish. As our network continues to grow, it is our hope that everything, including our mission, can be influenced by a steering committee of veteran spouses committed to sharing the viewpoint of our members.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Nick BaumannDec. 19, 2007 2:34 PM
From Newsweek, via Matthew Yglesias:
In addition to waterboarding, Zubaydah was subjected to sleep deprivation and bombarded with blaring rock music by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. One agent was so offended he threatened to arrest the CIA interrogators, according to two former government officials directly familiar with the dispute.
This is unfortunate news for the Chili Peppers. But it does bring to mind another musical attack: the U.S. "Rock 'n' Roll assault" on Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega in 1990. When Noriega was holed up in the papal embassy in Panama City, the U.S. blasted music on enormous speakers as part of an attempt to flush him out. Because of the Freedom of Information Act, the most important details of this operation are now declassified: We know what was played during those fateful days. Some highlights after the jump.

Okay, for a moment let's forget about attack ads, Iowa, the polls, that floating cross in Mike Huckabee's latest commercial, Hillary's wrinkles, and the question of whether Jesus and Satan are half-brothers--and let's talk presidential race policy!
The smart wonks at the New America Foundation have taken a details-drenched look at the proposals of all the Democratic and Republican presidential wannabes related to the promotion of savings and asset building. This broad category includes retirement security, affordable home ownership, children's savings accounts, the subprime mortgage crisis, bankruptcy, and more. A sample:
Joe Biden plans to incentivize savings by expanding the Saver's Credit, providing eligible families a 50% refundable tax credit for deposits up to $2,000 in certain tax-preferred savings accounts, such as 401(k) plans or Individual Retirement Accounts. A family earning less than 50,000 that deposits $4,000 into savings products eligible for the credit would receive a $2,000
matched refund from this plan.
Chris Dodd proposes to assist individuals saving for a down payment on a home with the creation of Tax-Deferred Individual Homeownership Savings Accounts. The federal government would match up to $500 each year in the accounts of low-income and working families under this plan.
John Edwards proposes the creation of "work bonds" to match household savings. Households earning up to $75,000 would receive a state-provided bond valued at $500 per year. Additionally, he proposes the "Get Ahead" tax credit to match up to $500 in savings for retirement, college education, home purchase or investment in a small business or during a financial or medical emergency.....
Jonathan SteinDec. 19, 2007 12:49 PM
There is a new USA Today/Gallup poll out that says Barack Obama does better against the Republican candidates than Hillary Clinton, a fact that the Obama camp will no doubt point to when undercutting Clinton's oft-made electability argument. The Edwards folks like to highlight this CNN poll that shows he is the only Democrat who slays all five heads of the Giuliani-Romney-Huckabee-McCain-Thompson medusa.
My take: who cares?
The electability argument is a pander to the basest desire in the political heart: the desire to win. Every campaign makes the argument, ignoring the fact that just because a candidate can get elected, or just because a majority of Americans think a candidate can get elected, doesn't mean that candidate should be elected. As George W. Bush has proved twice, the skills and characteristics needed to get elected are not the same as the ones needed to govern well.
Obama, Clinton, and Edwards aren't going to stop claiming they can win because electability, though a specious argument, matters to people. Voters don't like backing a loser. But if a potential loser would be the best president, he or she deserves support, plain and simple.
That's my overly idealistic blog post for the day. Back to your regularly scheduled snark and cynicism.
James RidgewayDec. 19, 2007 12:15 PM
NASHUA—John Edwards and entourage of Bonny Raitt and Jackson Browne arrived in New Hampshire yesterday and immediately set out on a barnstorming tour of the state. At Webster College here last night a packed auditorium of 350-plus waited an hour for crews to hook up the audio equipment, and then applauded politely when Edwards took the stage after a couple of songs.
David CornDec. 19, 2007 11:58 AM
On the all-important, critical campaign 2008 issue of whether John Edwards has fathered a love-child—as Matt Drudge reports The Enquirer is "reporting"—let me beg to differ with colleague Party Ben's theory that the Clinton camp "is pushing Drudge" to tear into Edwards. To start with, the Clinton gang generally cares more about stopping Barack Obama than Edwards. If Edwards were socked by a scandal, that would probably help Obama more than Clinton. (Edwards and Obama split the anti-Hillary Democratic vote.) And how close is the Clinton gang and Drudge? Remember Monica? And did you see the picture of a tired and aging Hillary that Drudge posted days ago? Moreover—and it's a big moreover—Drudge (who did recently promoted two Mother Jones stories on Mike Huckabee) does not need encouragement from one political HQ or another to promote a sex scandal article that appears in a tabloid. We need not wonder what hidden forces caused Drudge to highlight The Enquirer's "exclusive." In this instance, a cigar is just a cigar.
As for the Enquirer story itself—in case you care—it's the usual fare. Edwards' purported girlfriend insists that Edwards is not the father of her unborn child and names another fellow (a political operative close to Edwards) as the responsible party. Yet the tabloid quotes exactly one unnamed source saying Edwards is the father. That's enough for it to claim an "exclusive."
Will this become a bigger story? My hunch is that those nice Iowans are not eager to have the final weeks of the campaign dominated by such a tawdry topic. And unlike the Gennifer Flowers case, the woman named in this story is not talking. In fact, she's denying. But, as we've learned, when it comes to sex—and sex and politics—you never know. Still, the shabbily sourced Enquirer piece, without further (real and confirmed) developments, ought not to have much of an impact.
Jonathan SteinDec. 19, 2007 11:41 AM
I'm going to post this without comment, other than to say it illustrates exactly the "How dare he??" sentiment floating around the Clinton camp that David reported on a while back.
Also, it's funny.

The building, built between 1871 and 1888, is located across a driveway from the White House and houses the vice president's offices.
CNN on Monday:
A small chemical explosion was reported Monday in the building that houses Fox News, officials said. One person was injured.

It's hard to explain lumping together homosexuality and necrophilia. But that's the mission that Mike Huckabee's campaign research director, Joe Carter, took on when Talking Points Memo asked him about the recent Mother Jones story on a book Huckabee wrote in 1998. In that book, Huckabee decried American culture, equated environmentalism with pornography, insisted that people who do not believe in God tend to be immoral, and associated homosexuality with necrophilia:
It is now difficult to keep track of the vast array of publicly endorsed and institutionally supported aberrationsfrom homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia.
Now lets turn to TPM:
When we asked Carter if Huckabee stood by this quote, he didn't disavow the comment. But he sought to clarify its meaning, denying our suggestion that the quote equated homosexuality and necrophilia.
"He's not equating homosexuality with necrophilia," Carter told us. "He's saying there's a range of aberrant behavior. He considers homosexuality aberrant, but that's at one end of the spectrum. Necrophilia is at the other end."
Carter added: "No way is he saying that homosexuality is like having sex with dead people. That's not it at all."
Mother JonesDec. 18, 2007 8:10 PM
We called him Mr. Clean for a reason.
And today Rick Ness is a happy man. Newmont Minahasa Raya (a subsidiary of Denver-based gold-mining giant Newmont, where Ness was formerly president) was cleared of pollution and environmental damage charges related to Buyat Bay in Indonesia. Back in April Ness and the company were acquitted of all criminal charges (and in 2006, Newmont settled a civil suit brought by the Indonesian government on charges of environmental pollution).
The judge in the Indonesian case said in today's ruling that "The plaintiff could not prove that Newmont polluted the environment, sickening fish and damaging coral reefs."
But, in fact, evidence abounds.

I'm telling God, not you.
That seemed to be Mike Huckabee's message to the people of Arkansas when he was governor there. Here's an item from the February 19, 1999 issue of the Arkansas Times:
What the people don't know won't hurt me.
In an interview with the Arkansas Baptist news magazine, Gov. Mike Huckabee elaborated on his statement that he had resolved to "trust God more and people less."
The magazine said: "Citing 'the classic Baptist phrase to trust the Lord and tell the people,' he noted, 'I've found you can still trust the Lord, but you better not tell the people everything. Too much information can hurt you more than not giving information."
Huckabee went on to say that being guarded was "the reversal of everything I have practiced and been led to believe."
When Jimmy Carter ran for president in 1976 as an evangelical, he looked voters straight in the eye and promised, "I will never lie to you." Will former pastor Huckabee proclaim, "I will not tell you everything"?
And my pal Robert Wright of Bloggingheads.tv wonders (as he sits in my office) if this Huckabee statement represents the intersection of Baptist theology and the neocon-Straussian concept of the noble lie. In any event, how noble of Huckabee in this instance to ignore a Baptist injunction for the sake of his own administration.

Go Green Report: Freedom Garden
"Everything that is grown at the school is used, made, and fed to the kids," explained Marc Natale, Executive Director of the American Heart Association. "Kids take tours of the public market, come back, and then supplement with things they haven't used before."
Natale says the experience is really eye-opening. Through the garden and 35 corresponding lesson plans, the American Heart Association and Wegmans hope to plant the seeds for a healthy life.
"Here in Rochester, about 39% of kids are overweight or obese, so we certainly want to address that issue before the statistic becomes larger into their teen years," Natale urged. About 200 kids have had a hand at helping out in the garden during the summer program, and the hope is that they'll be able to continue it into the regular school year too.
"I came out here and helped out a little bit with stalking the tomatoes, picking a few green beans that were overripe and picking out the weeds," recalled Freedom School senior, Tyler Drake.
Inside the school, the learning continues with classes that teach about farming techniques such as juicing. "[The students] loved the juicing, especially with the vegetables," affirmed the Freedom School's Cafe Manager, Thando Hannah.
Organizers hope the kids will take home the lessons they learn.
"It's a reminder in the community," says Drake. "If you walk by and see a garden, there are vegetables there you should be eating, so maybe you should go get some a little bit later."
Freedom School freshman, Richard Mitchell, said, "I think it will help with our community; help other people eat better."

Centerline Capital Group closes $6.9 million refinance for multi-family property in St. Louis area
September 13, 2013 | Staff Writer | Print Article | Email this Article
Centerline Capital Group, a provider of real estate financial and asset management services for affordable and conventional multi-family housing, provided a 20-year Fannie Mae DUS loan in the amount of $6.9 million to refinance Grandview Gardens Apartments in Florissant, Mo., which is within the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.
Grandview Gardens Apartments is a 424-unit apartment complex contained within 55 two-story buildings and a leasing office. Constructed in 1956 and 1958, the property is situated on a 24.33-acre development and is currently 97 percent leased.
The borrower is a family partnership that acquired the property more than 30 years ago and has owned and operated it ever since. The borrower plans to use the majority of the cash-out loan proceeds for future capital expenditures.
"Grandview Garden Apartments was a great transaction for Centerline and for the borrower," said Adam Klingher, senior vice president at Centerline Capital Group, in a written statement. "The property is well-located and well run."

Everyone asks me about airports and airlines with the best food, but there's one place I tell everyone to go if they want a great meal: the baseball stadium. I'm serious! Ballpark food has come a long way from the old peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
Take a look a AT&T Park, which is all about local California cuisine. The home of the San Francisco Giants serves up something called Gilroy Garlic Fries, made with garlic that comes straight from the town of Gilroy, aka the garlic capital of the world.
Of course, I grew up going to Mets games so I can vouch for how much the food has improved. These days, they've got burgers and fries from the Shake Shack, and something called the New Yawkah—it's a HUGE corned beef sandwich on a pretzel roll. But this is New York, so of course Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs are king here at Citi Field.
And in Miami's Marlins Park, there's all the usual suspects, but with a twist. Think hot dogs with mango slaw and mahi mahi tacos.
But what you really want to look for is the Taste of Miami section, which brings together local Cuban-American restaurants. We're talking Cuban sandwiches, ceviche, and plaintain chips It doesn't get more authentic than that.

It was a decidedly underhanded move — Apple's slipping that copy of Safari 3.1 in with the latest version of its Windows-software update. But beyond annoying and alienating a sizable portion of users, it also appears it was rather effective.
According to Net Applications, the sneaky update, which included a copy of the new (non-beta) web browser, actually increased Safari's Windows market share threefold over the course of one month.
"Safari 3.0 on Windows never gained much market share, peaking at 0.07 percent," the company notes. "However, Safari 3.1 on Windows is rapidly gaining market share, already tripling Safari 3.0's peak."
Anyway, Windows users needn't worry about any more covert updates. Apple revised its software-update protocol last month and said it will clearly mark new software from "updates" from now on.
Furthermore, the box to accept these programs will be unchecked by default.
It'll be interesting to see whether this uptick in Safari usage among Windows users was simply a fluke (and truly the result of Apple's sneakiness) or whether it could have something to do with users actually liking Safari.

Stanton teenager arrested for 'window peeping'
DOUGLASS TOWNSHIP — A 17-year-old from Stanton is in custody for disorderly conduct and "window peeping" after fleeing from a home in the 2700 block of West Cannonsville Road.
Montcalm County Sheriff's deputies responded to a prowler call at 11:22 p.m. Saturday. The homeowner reported two subjects fleeing from the scene.
Footprints in the area led into the woods north of the Douglass Township residence.
The Montcalm County Sheriff's K-9 team tracked the subjects through the woods to Nevins Road where they were intercepted by a State Police detective.
The 17-year-old was arrested and transported to the Montcalm County Jail and is pending arraignment.
The second subject was turned over to his parents as he is a juvenile.

Department of Corrections Records Guide
Agency History - Current Organization > Corrections Programs
Administration | Planning and Budget | Community Programs | Inspections
Human Resources | Information Systems | Corrections Programs | Institutions
The Health Services Unit provides centralized direction and monitors the delivery of the health care provided at DOC institutions. The program is responsible for providing those health care services that preserve and maintain the physical and mental health status of inmates during incarceration. The services provided to inmates include: emergency services, sick call, ambulatory care, dental care, infirmary care, health education, communicable disease control, sex offender treatment, alcohol and drug abuse treatment and pharmaceuticals. The Health Services Unit also conducts quality assurance and peer review of medical services including review of all deaths.
The Religious Services program is responsible for managing the constitutionally required exercise of religion. The program provides the inmates with the opportunity to practice their religious beliefs within the institutions. There are currently forty-six different religions being practiced in the Oregon correctional institutions. The Department relies on Religious Services staff chaplains and volunteers to conduct the proper services and provide spiritual counseling for the inmates.
The mission of the Workforce Development Section is to reduce inmates idleness by providing meaningful jobs, providing transferable work skills and connections to private industry, teaching good work habits, reducing institutional costs, and assisting victims of crime. Towards this goal, the Workforce Development Section operates three programs:
The Education and Vocational Training Unit provides training to the inmates to develop their skills and make them better suited for placement in the work force. The unit provides basic education skills to aid inmates with their Adult Basic Education (ABE) and in acquiring their General Education Diploma (GED). The inmates can also receive vocational training in Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Mapping (CAM), desktop publishing, sheetmetal work, furniture construction, meat cutting, cosmetology, automotive repair, and basic computer skills.
The Prison Industries Program provides centralized administrative and management support for the institutions with industries. The prison industries are commercial enterprises run from individual institutions by the institutions. Currently the seven industries are the "Prison Blues" brand garments at Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution; the prison farm at Mill Creek Correctional Institution; the laundry, furniture, and metal shop at Oregon State Penitentiary; Computer Aided Mapping at Oregon State Correctional Institution (OSCI); and telephone answering and mailing services at OSCI and the Oregon Women's Corrections Center. The prison farm provides the meat, dairy products, and crops used at the correctional institutions. The other industries sell their services and wares to state agencies and private companies. Inmates are also placed into institution support positions including office support, janitorial, kitchen and others. The inmates are compensated as part of the 1994, Measure 17, that requires all inmates to work full time.
The Measure 17 Field Operations Unit is responsible for coordinating with private industry and public agencies to provide inmate labor in accordance with Measure 17, 1994. The measure called for all inmates to work and be compensated for forty hours a week. The Field Operations unit arranges with private industry to either accept inmate workers into their business sites or open a work site at an institution. The unit also arranges with state agencies to place inmate workers in the agency.

..but from a buyer's perspective who knows that support is now mandatory from authors, he could make a lot of noise and mess.
A lot has been said already, I just wanted to emphasize on this
Hell will break lose, 1 Star Ratings will fall down from the sky, and we the authors will have to be slaves for EVERY. LITTLE. THING. that the lazy customer didn't read in the documentation.
"You are required to give me support! Where is that Permalinks menu. I can't find it, it's not on my Wordpress installation. Tell me where it is or I'll shoot you with this 1 Star!" (And the 1 Star is not the scariest thing)
Kevitus said
I'll also have to say that the fairest condition would be that the support would be paid and optional for authors. Either you pay the small price and get NO support at all, or you pay additionally a support fee and get all the support you need. That way it would be transparent to authors and buyers. Upholding all the support that is needed now for the items is already a joke for the price that people pay for them. IMO even the current prices are only ok if there is absolutely no support at all. And buyers should know this, it is the main reason the prices are so low. I sometimes spend hours helping people getting my item the way they wanted to make sure they won't give me a bad rating. Considering the money I get from my item (7-8 $) I make constant losses. I only have few sales but I don't even want to imagine what it is like to have like ten times of my sales. If you want to make the marketplace sustainable for authors, charge buyers for the support.
Precisely what I think, we already give the support, it's a matter of getting some return from it to make it sustainable.
stewboon said
Many of the questions you have raised were discussed by Collis here. We really do appreciate your feedback on this topic. We are listening but obviously can't respond to everything.
Of course no one is expecting you to answer every comment here, however, we are expecting you to provide detailed responses with substance to every single major/popular concern raised here.
And truth be told, Collis' response, if anything, just deflated me even further. Collis explained a bit more about the announcement in its current form, but essentially said "we are working on it – this is still work in progress". Which is unacceptable, you can't throw a half-baked bombshell on such a critical part of your own business (authors) and then say "sit tight and wait for further announcements", while authors (including elites/power elites) anxiously type away for days.
Item "support" is definitely an area Envato needs to look at, but the correct solutions for improvements couldn't be more different to everything you've announced.
We are the bloodline of Envato, buyers spend money here because of authors, if we all moved to a new site, they would all follow. We deserve a ton more respect than this and a big say in policies that directly impact us. Authors having to leave 61 pages of responses after an announcement + power elite author starting a separate thread with 18 pages of signatures and counting, definitely does not sound right to me.
pulzedev said
This announcement represents a 360 degree turnA 360 degree turn would be full circle. I think you meant a 180 degree turn.
Haha, you are right. 180 degree turn…
I'm curious about what the penalties will be for not replying to support questions within 72 hours? And how will you determin if the buyer is telling the truth? What about questions asked by e-mail? How would you be able to verify it?

This is a pretty hard to follow topic and before adding my own input, I wanted to take the time and digest the whole state of the marketplace today. Not saying that my views are those of everyone here. They are mine and the people I collaborate with and represent our views on which I noticed to find common ground with many other authors. I wrote them down in a post on Medium which I'd like to share with you the authors, Envato staff and whoever else would like to have a read (8 min read according to Medium)

Thank you for taking the time to read through and looking forward to reactions.

iHelp saidAbsolutely, and while we haven't made a final decision, limiting the period that you can rate an item was on our list of changes, and it seems very fair to me.
FinalDestiny said
Guys, you don't get it. Less support after 6 months? Haha, nice joke. Let me see one of you saying to a customer "Hello, unfortunately we can't offer any support since you purchased the theme more than 6 months ago" and getting a 1 star right after that.
Dangit that's a really valid point… Sorry if I missed a reply to that, it's hard to follow this thread, but maybe you should disable ratings after six months too then.
When I heard about this whole change I thought it was pretty legit, but after reading so many valid and well-thought responses against it I can see the vicious circle this could start.This thread shows once more how valuable this community is when it comes to decision making!
One thing that the rating is missing is that you can't actually talk to the customer after he has rated you. We have several cases that we receive 1 star. The customer had some issue not related to our product but to another plugin for example. He did not contact support so we can see what it is and fix it for him. If his contact form is enabled we write him, then he responds, we fix the problem and he gives us 5 stars. But if his contact form is disabled there is nothing we can do even if we are willing to help.
Another thing is that rating comments are visible only for the authors. Someone loves one of our products gives us 5 stars, writes a wonderful comment in the review comments and then we the authors are the only one that see it
Something similar to the wordpress.org rating system is maybe a better idea. The customer leaves a rating with a comment/review and everyone can see it. Then the author can respond to that.
This is just an idea from our experience of course. If anyone has anything else to add please do. We all want this whole thing to work more efficient for both the authors and the buyers.

A mailto: link wouldn't help (there is a @ sign in the link). Use a link shortener
Thanks, done. Would be great if you could remove the quote from your post too since it contains the wrong link. Cheers!
I could not read all 600+ comments, I apologize if the following question has been previously posted.
After six months, a buyer who does not pay for support will be able to post comments for a specific item? (most of the comments are questions about the item and an author could not decline answer because the buyer simply did not pay for support, while others did).

How to have a good dog meeting tomorrow?
I have an older, fixed, pit bull. He has had other dogs around, no problems (female wiener dogs, male terrier.) We considered getting another female pitbull, but he was aggressive towards her when they met at the pound.
Tomorrow, he is meeting a female, young (11 months) husky, and we want it to go well so we can bring her home too. Any tips? Maybe tiring him out beforehand? Should he wear a muzzle? He will be on a leash/harness.

I would try to not stress too much. If you are stresses and tense your dog will sense that and he may be more stressed as a result. I would suggest against a muzzle. That will also only cause your dog to stress more as well.
Angel answered on 11/26/12. Helpful? / 0
If you are at all concerned about him being aggressive, he should be muzzled for the safety of the other dog as well as the handlers (who often get bit trying to separate fighting dogs).
They should meet either on neutral ground (a park or neighbors house, etc) or on the husky's turf; a dog will always be more aggressive in "their" territory.
Try letting the dogs meet through a chain link fence if possible, and asses how they behave towards each other. Make sure you can tell playful behavior from aggressive behavior, and be aware that tail wagging doesn't always mean the dog is happy or playful.
When the dogs meet with no barriers, if you are able, have the pit lying down (even hold him down until he's calm if you feel safe doing so) when the husky approaches, if you're sure the husky will behave itself. This will put the pit in a less aggressive state of mind. However, don't try this if you don't feel confident or don't trust the dogs. Ultimately, not all dogs get along.

DETROIT, Monday—I have just been sent a book called, "How to Help the Shut-In Child," written by Margery D. McMullin, with illustrations by Paul Galdone, and published by E. P. Dutton and Co. It is meant, of course, for the really handicapped child, the child who spends long periods of time in bed or even a child that is confined to a wheelchair. It seemed to me, however, that this book could be of great value in any family where children are bound to have to be in bed a certain amount of time. Even the healthiest of children go through a certain number of the childhood diseases and it is often hard for a mother to think of occupations for a child even temporarily obliged to stay in bed.
But there is much more in this book than just the suggestions. There is a philosophy of letting the child grow up to help in the family even if he requires a great deal of attention from the family. Many a child can actually earn pocket money by following the suggestions in this book and that is one of the real psychological barriers to conquer, for an adolescent who feels he is growing up to complete dependency is resentful. No book that I have seen recently has seemed to me a better book to have on any family's library shelves.

We drove up to Hyde Park Friday evening. It was raining and dark but as soon as we reached Poughkeepsie the little dogs seemed to know that they were reaching home and they perked up to look out of the windows, even though they had been soundly sleeping until that moment. My grandson, Curtis, came up with me and after a glass of milk and some cookies we both went to bed.
Saturday morning my sister-in-law, Mrs. Dorothy Roosevelt from Detroit, arrived with Mrs. Walker from Bellingham, Washington, who is staying with her. In view of the rain, they spent the morning in the house and an open fire made the living room look cheerful.
I went first to buy food and then I walked with Buzz and the dogs in the woods. Just now the woods are filled with distractions, so I never return with the dogs. They find a rabbit and they are off and I can only hope that sometime they will come wet and bedraggled and ask to come in.
At 2:30 I went over to the library to speak to a student group and in the evening we went to The Roosevelt Home Club dinner in the Hyde Park high school at which my son, Franklin, Jr., spoke.
I left Sunday night from Poughkeepsie for Detroit and points west on an American Association for the U.N. organizing tour. I will write you how things go as I move along.

Brüssow considering Japanese offers
- 20 Jun 2013
Cheetahs flank Heinrich Brüssow, who has yet to play for the Springboks under Heyneke Meyer, is set to further his career in Japan.
The 26-year-old could leave Bloemfontein after Super Rugby, even though his Cheetahs contract runs until the end of the Currie Cup.
While Brüssow's Japanese deal will not allow him to play for the Springboks, he will still be available to represent the Cheetahs in Super Rugby.
Brüssow said the lucrative deals from the Far East were appealing.
'The financial boost is very tempting,' he told SARugbymag.co.za. 'Nothing's been confirmed yet, though. We'll have to see what happens closer to the time.'
Brüssow's struggle to make the Bok squad is big factor behind the possible move. He last made a Test appearance during the 2011 World Cup quarter-final against the Wallabies when Peter de Villiers was the coach and has since been consistently snubbed by Meyer.
In the latest issue of SA Rugby magazine, Brüssow speaks candidly about his continued omission from the Bok squad.
'Once you've tasted what it's like to play for the Springboks, you want it again and again. To not be involved hurts.'
Brüssow goes on to talk about how he will never be a Francois Louw-type flanker, the different skills he offers, how the new laws at the breakdown forced him to change his game, and the three choices an opensider has when he arrives at the tackle.

This was the other site I used a lot for my son's semi formal wedding. Excellent quality and service and very fast (everything received in a couple of days). I ordered organza ribbon that we used on the wedding invitations and in decorations. They have crinkle organza that we used as table runner over burgundy and white table cloths that made the tables SOOO elegant. I also got personalized $#*!tail napkins (very reasonable, very fast and the look great), Also got a few table cloths from them. I would definitely order again from these folks. They have tons of ribbons and fabric, but not as large a wedding selection as some sites.
