How the movie "Bully" started a movement to end bullying, and why we as parents need to act on its message.
Even before award-winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch's Bully hit theaters last April, it had caused quite a stir. More than 20 members of Congress and celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres and Demi Lovato took to social media and the airwaves to try to convince the Motion Picture Association of America to change the documentary's rating from "R" to "PG-13" after Katy Butler, a 17-year-old girl who had been severely bullied in middle school, took up the cause.
Butler's petition on Change.org garnered more than 500,000 digital signatures and ultimately won the battle: The MPAA lowered the rating—enabling the film to be screened in schools—and left in a vital scene in which a boy is verbally threatened in a graphic manner on a school bus. Search for nearby screenings of the film at thebullyproject.com. The DVD release is tentatively set for February.
Thirteen million children will be bullied in our nation this year, and they come from every walk of life, male and female. It is a fact, though, that children who have special needs are prime targets.
"For students with learning disabilities and other disabilities, bullying is a pandemic," says James Wendorf, executive director of the National Center for Learning Disabilities. "It occurs every day, with 60 percent of students with special needs being bullied as compared with 25 percent of all students"—and, he notes, some studies put this percentage even higher.
One reason the numbers are likely higher: Most research is based on parent reporting, such as a recent survey conducted by the Interactive Autism Network (whose findings mirror the above statistics, with 63 percent of children on the autism spectrum having been bullied in the past year).
"Just like other children, children with ASD may not tell adults when they are bullied," says Connie Anderson, Ph.D., community scientific liaison for IAN. In the case of those who are intellectually disabled and/or nonverbal, they may not be able to do so," Dr. Anderson notes.
According to the IAN Bullying and School Experiences of Children with ASD Survey, typical behaviors that make children on the spectrum targets for bullying include clumsiness, poor hygiene, a stubborn adherence to rules, and misreading social cues (like going on and on about a topic the listener clearly shows no interest in—what Dr. Anderson refers to as "an almost classic autistic behavior").
While watching Bully, one of the prevalent feelings I had (beyond mere sadness at this unfortunate reality that our youth are faced with) was helplessness—and dismay at the reactions of many of the adults, particularly school administrators. "Boys will be boys," said one Murray County, GA, school administrator—"they're just cruel at this age."
Even when there is action taken by authority figures, however, the effects of bullying are deep-rooted. "My mother intervened, of course...The physical attacks ended, but the isolation? The exclusion? That continues to this day," wrote a Bronxville student named Anthony in the September issue of Teen Ink. His essay was chosen from nearly 1,200 submitted to the magazine for an essay contest conducted in partnership with Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. (Visit teenink.com to read some of the devastating personal accounts of bullying that were submitted, as well as teenagers' insights on how to address the problem.)
Lee Hirsch, who was born and raised on Long Island and currently lives in Manhattan, has taken his film Bully beyond the closing credits with a companion book due out this October to coincide with National Bullying Prevention Month. Bully: An Action Plan for Teachers, Parents, and Communities to Combat the Bullying Crisis by Hirsch and Cynthia Lowen (Weinstein Books) provides concrete, actionable advice and a plethora of resources. It is a must-read for every parent and educator.
A panel of experts addresses problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills; coping strategies; what to do when bullying escalates; when to intervene if your child is depressed; encouraging a curriculum of social and emotional learning in schools; how to proceed with legal action; and so much more.
To read an excerpt from the book that provides real tips for parents of children with special needs, go to nymetroparents.com/bully.

I was indifferent about CaptionCall at first. After a visit from my local CaptionCall representative, I decided to at least give recommending it a try. I filled out certification forms for a couple of patients. Recommending CaptionCall got really exciting for me about a month later when our patients returned saying, 'We got our phone ... it's amazing.'

You can make borders or frames several ways in PSP. You can just open up an image, select a border area with the square selection tool, and then invert the selection. Then you can go into the filters if you have used my filter section of the tutorial and use one of the fractual magic filters. Then while the border area is still selected, go to Image, Blur, Gaussian blur.....(around level 2 or 3) and you end up with a pretty border that way. Then you click to remove the selection lines and you can go to the Toadie filters and bevel the border. Or you might prefer using the PSP Buttonize to finish the border up.
But.....you might not want to interfere with any part of your image, so you will have to add a blank border first. On the top toolbar I placed an icon for borders. I'm going to add a plain border to my image using this.
Remember that when you are adding a border this way, it will be whatever color the bottom color in the 2 color boxes is. Now what if I wanted to fill that border in with some special filler I had? I use the square select tool and carefully select an area just on the line where the border and the image meet. Then I invert the selection. Next I click on the fill tool. I bring up the control toggle and change the fill to pattern. Now this part is important. If you want to use a fill pattern, you have to have that image OPEN. I opened one of my fills for this tutorial. If you check the section called fillers, you will find a collection of my favorites that you can save. Once you have chosen pattern, go to options. If you DO have your fill image opened, it will show up and you can choose it. And if you don't want to add plugins to your PSP, you can follow the steps from above with filters and use the Gaussian blur on the filler border.
Left click on the area of the border with your fill tool and it will be filled with the pattern you chose. Now just use the select tool to remove the lines.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Back when you were upset and talking about divorce and not being happy being a mother, they took that as you saying bad things about someone in their family. Even though things are better now, it will take them a while to trust that you're really committed to your husband and baby.
To deal with the hurt, remember that the only person you can change is yourself. You'll have to decide if it's worth hanging on to the hurt, or if you'd rather put it aside and be a part of the family again. It sounds like you're beginning to feel like you'd like to be included in things again. Sometimes it's better to be happy than to be right.
I think one other possible way to look at things is that they have reached out to you with the invitation to dinner. It may be expecting too much that they will come to you and apologize...they will probably try to go on as if nothing has happened. And after all this time, that may be the way to go.
I'm not sure what your husband could do to fix things, other than to let them know that you were going through a really hard time before the holidays, and things are much better now.
Things won't get fixed if you don't ever spend time with them again. When you finally do see them again, keep things light, don't bring up personal stuff, and be as pleasant to them as you would be to people you interact with at work. Yes, time has passed, but you haven't taken any opportunities to be with them to establish a new relationship.
They've extended a peace flag by inviting your family to dinner. It may be time to put the past year behind you, and start over with them. You sound like you're in a much better place emotionally than you were a few months ago--maybe it hasn't been such a bad thing that you haven't spent every weekend with them the way you used to.
Start practicing being with them now, for short periods of time, so by the time the summer comes, you won't care who's there.

War broke out in earnest last Friday afternoon at Emma B. Ward Elementary School — a lemonade war, to be exact.
Fresh off their summer assignment to read a book titled The Lemonade War, fifth grade reaching teacher Lisa Hudson's students used what they learned in the book to not only figure out how to best sell lemonade, but how to effectively market it, draw the biggest crowds and earn the most money.
As you walk into Mrs. Crystal Darnell's brightly colored classroom, you will quickly notice that something is amiss.
There are no desks.
Well that's not entirely accurate, there are about three traditional school desks scattered around the classroom. The rest is a hodge-podge of couches, stools, cushioned crates and stylish Adirondack chairs surrounded by plush carpets and pillows.
School traffic might be a little easier to navigate this year if early attendance numbers are any indication.
According to information provided by school officials, early enrollment figures show a slight drop in enrollment for Anderson County schools.
The most significant decrease in enrollment numbers is within kindergarten and high school, said Superintendent Sheila Mitchell.
Kindergarten enrollment is down by 39 students and the high school is short by 37 students compared to last year's attendance records.
Jennings Barnett, a math teacher at the Christian Academy of Lawrencebug, said sometimes the best education a person can get is outside the confines of a classroom. It is for this reason he has designed an educational trip to Costa Rica that is open to all students in Anderson County.
The trip will consist of eight days and six nights and the group will travel around central Costa Rica taking in the sights and guided tours with experienced guides.
"Look, momma, Superman!" exclaimed one five-year-old this morning as he walked with his mother to the entrance of the Ezra Sparrow Early Childhood Learning Center for his first day as a kindergartener.
The young boy was describing the bright blue Superman-style 'S' on the t-shirts of the smiling teachers and staff who were there to greet students and parents this morning.
When students return to Emma B. Ward Elementary on Wednesday morning, they may notice their school's library looks a little different. It still has books, but this library is far from traditional.
Over the summer, contractors renovated the library into what school officials call a 21st Century learning space.
Gone are the large, hulking shelves crowded with stacks of books and organized rows of desks topped with desktop computers. Instead, the space is open and completely transformable.
Thanks to an approved change in the district's code of conduct manual for the 2015-2016 year, parents or guardians of habitually truant students could face a charge of educational neglect if students continue to remain absent from school.
Anderson County Schools Director of Student Services Derek Shouse requested the board approve the change last Monday night as another option the school system can implement to prevent chronic absenteeism.
Anderson County high school juniors Adam Sanderson and Chance Wayne recently returned home from Kentucky Farm Bureau's Institute for Future Agricultural Leaders (IFAL).
Sanderson, Wayne and 44 other high school students from around the state attended the five-day summer leadership conference, held June 21-25 at the University of Kentucky.
An identical IFAL conference was also held June 14-18 at Murray State University for an additional 48 students.

Perth, Australia (AFP) Nov 25, 2011
Cooler weather helped firefighters Friday as they battled an unpredictable blaze which has destroyed at least 37 properties, including a historic house.
Scores of residents were evacuated from communities near the tourist township of Margaret River, a coastal area known for its wines in Western Australia, as flames soared as high as 30 metres (100 feet) Thursday.
"Twenty-eight houses and nine chalets, including the historic Wallcliffe House area, have been lost to the fire. Properties have been burnt or damaged at Prevelly, Gnarabup and Redgate," the government said in a fire warning.
The full extent of damage from the blaze, which was sparked by embers from a controlled burn-off in Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park some 280 kilometres (170 miles) south of Perth, is not yet known.
But the two-storey stone Wallcliffe House, built close to Prevelly Beach in 1865, was burnt through. No lives have been lost.
"The fire threat remains and may worsen at any time and people in this area still need to have their bushfire survival plan in action," the Department of Environment and Conservation said in its warning.
Fire incident controller Roger Armstrong said firefighters were downcast they had lost some homes, as he praised their work in saving other residences in terrible conditions.
"We threw everything we had into Prevelly and we fought pretty hard," he told journalists.
Friday's milder conditions had helped firefighters strengthen boundaries around the fire and there were no homes presently at risk.
"Today's weather is really quite mild, it's in our favour," he said.
"It's not right to say it's under control... so obviously it's not fully contained."
Authorities estimate the blaze has burned about 3,177 hectares (7,850 square miles), forced hundreds of residents and holidaymakers from homes, caravan parks and holiday accommodation and prompted some road closures.
As anger at how a controlled fire could end up destroying people's homes mounted, locals recounted how they were forced to cling beneath a jetty at Prevelly Beach as flames metres-high were burning on the sand.
"All 30 of us huddled underneath the jetty as the fire was raging on the dunes just above us," Joel Hodgson told the ABC.
Firefighter Laurie Drage, who helped adults and children stranded in the water as the blaze raged over the beach said: "It went right over the top of us, like a sheet being thrown over a bed."
"It was like a herd of bulls. It jumped the carpark, it was just amazingly wicked, it was like flying into hell," he told Australian news agency AAP.
Western Australia's environment minister Bill Marmion apologised to those who had lost their homes as he toured the area Friday, saying it was unfortunate an operation to burn off combustible material sparked the blaze.
"I'm happy to apologise for what went wrong," Marmion said.
"My heart goes out to those people who lost a house. If I lost a house I'd feel very emotionally upset and indeed I might have anger against the minister and anyone who might have lighted the fire."
Police Commissioner and State Emergency Coordinator Karl O'Callaghan said the fire was a bad start to the southern hemisphere summer.
"The catastrophic fire conditions that we have seen... it's been a difficult start to the season," he told reporters.

WOODBRIDGE _ Motorists making their way to Cape May County's southernmost shore towns will soon not encounter the stop-and-go traffic patterns created by the only three traffic lights on the Garden State Parkway.
Construction on a $125 million project that will eliminate the lights at Crest Haven Road, Stone Harbor Boulevard and Shell Bay Avenue — blamed for hundreds of accidents in recent years — will begin in December. It will be another two and a half years before the project, first proposed more than 50 years ago, will be complete, New Jersey Turnpike Authority Chief Engineer Richard Raczynski said Tuesday.
"This is an incredibly sensitive project that has to happen. … We're moving forward with the right-of-way acquisition," said state Department of Transportation Commissioner James Simpson, who chairs the NJTA board. "This project has to happen to save lives."
State Sen. Jeff Van Drew, D-Cape May, Cumberland, Atlantic, has wanted the improvements for a decade. Two fatal accidents in 2008 and 2009 near Stone Harbor Boulevard led to the installation of guardrails separating the northbound and southbound lanes, but removing the lights all together is necessary for a significant safety improvement, Van Drew said.
"After a little over a half a century, this thing is finally going to get started," Van Drew said. "Once everybody involved realized the seriousness of this, people worked together. I told (those involved), 'If one more person dies because we can't work out a bureaucratic mess, there's going to be a lot of noise.'"
Earlier this year, state and local leaders feared the project might be delayed by a year due to conflicts arising from state-required wetlands mitigation, but those problems have since been solved, officials said. Delays are a familiar story for the project, which has faced decades of holdups stemming from design conflicts and funding issues.
The Turnpike Authority voted Tuesday to pay one Middle Township property owner $10,500 for three quarters of an acre needed to construct concrete overpasses and ramps that will take the place of current access points. The authority has made offers to nearly 100 property owners whose land is needed, officials said.
Raczynski said he did not know how many sales have yet to be negotiated. Nonetheless, he said he is confident that process will be complete by December.
"Most of these are just little slivers (of land)," Raczynski said. "We've made offers to everybody. We've heard back from some, a lot we haven't; but we can begin condemnation proceedings if necessary."
A public hearing on the project will take place Oct. 4 at the Cape May County Administration Building. There, the project design will be on display, officials said.
The authority also voted Tuesday to enter into an agreement with the state Department of Transportation allowing for the release of $30 million in federal funding that was secured for the project seven years ago.
Another $7 million from the same allocation that funded design and environmental work has already been released. The Turnpike Authority will fund the remaining $87.5 million of the project, whose price tag has skyrocketed in the years since it was first proposed.
A study in 1986 suggested that the improvements would cost $10 million, which would have the buying power of $21 million by today's standards. The now $125 million project is one of the largest the Turnpike Authority has undertaken in the region. The authority also will begin work in March on a $210 million project that will add a wider southbound span to the parkway bridge over Great Egg Harbor Bay and demolish the Beesleys Point Bridge.
The plan to remove the traffic lights was complicated earlier this year by environmental regulations. To complete the work the Turnpike Authority will construct concrete overpasses and ramps that will destroy 3.5 acres of saltwater wetlands. For every acre of wetlands that is destroyed, two must be created in the same vicinity, according to state law.
The authority first targeted an old railroad bed over a salt marsh crossing into West Wildwood as mitigation land, but Atlantic City Electric Co. initially opposed that use because the rail bed is used for transmission lines and the company feared the plan could hinder service.
That led the authority to look elsewhere for mitigation land, leading to further conflicts as the authority approached a Middle Township property owner who refused to sell his land.
"We were looking all over thinking how are we going to do this. You have to mitigate in the same general area," Raczynski said.
In April, Atlantic City Electric and the authority came to a verbal agreement involving the originally planned site, signaling that the obstacle was overcome. Details of the agreement, however, remain vague. The parties have not disclosed the terms because documents have not yet been signed.
"While we don't have a signed agreement, we are close and we expect to have one soon," Atlantic City Elextric spokesman Bill Yingling said.
The seven acres of land that will be used for mitigation are owned by consulting firm Evergreen Environmental, which will complete the mitigation for the authority. Atlantic City Electric has an easement on the property where electric lines that serve 22,000 customers on Five-Mile Beach are located.

Emergency department closures are down across the province but recently up in Digby.
The Department of Health and Wellness released their annual accountability report this week on emergency department closures.
Departments across the province were only closed 17,717 hours between April 2011 and March 2012.
That's 1,200 less than the year before, a decrease of 6.4 per cent.
The report also shows a 50 per cent drop for Digby from 563 hours in 2010/ 2011 to 240 in 2011/12.
The emergency department accountability act requires the government to release the stats every year.
This year the government went further than the legislation requires and included extra stats for six communities that have seen a recent 'dramatic" decline in closures.
Parrsboro, Springhill, Tatamagouche, Pugwash and Annapolis Royal all have new collaborative emergency centres – the centres in Annapolis Royal and Pugwash weren't closed at all between September 2011 and the end of October 2012.
The Health Department said it would take 'some time' to gather those extra stats for Digby. Courier staff took five minutes to add up the hours announced in the paper.
The Digby emergency department was closed 255 hours in the same time period. 240 of those hours came in the six-month period between May and October.
This fall closures have risen steadily in Digby from two shifts or 16 hours in September, six shifts or 72 hours in October to eight shifts or 96 hours in both November and December.
"We haven't seen the improvement in Digby they have seen in the rest of the province," says Digby mayor Ben Cleveland. "It looks like we are going to have to fix our own problems here."
The town and the municipality are currently considering a request from South West Health to increase their doctor incentive package to $60,000 a year each. The hospital foundation is putting up $1 million for Digby's new medical centre and the town and the municipality are committed to providing up to $500,000 each for the centre as well.
"Meanwhile we only have one emergency room doctor and he is being told not to put in the hours he has because he is being overworked."
Cleveland says the pay difference for emergency department doctors in Digby compared to other parts of the province doesn't help.
"It doesn't seem like a difficult choice to me," says Cleveland. "The money they want us to offer in incentives is nothing compared to the extra money the doctors make in Halifax."
The accountability act also requires the health authority to hold public consultations in communities (like Digby) that have experienced a pattern of ongoing closures, and report on the outcomes of those consultations directly to the Minister of Health and Wellness.
Last July those consultations in Digby drew a crowd of two.
December emergency closures
The Digby General Hospital emergency department will remain closed Wednesdays and Fridays through December.
Wednesday, Dec. 5 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 7 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Wednesday, Dec. 12 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 14 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Wednesday, Dec. 19 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 21 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Wednesday, Dec. 26 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 28 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
South West Health apologizes for any inconvenience these closures may cause.
They suggest Digby County residents visit the nearest open emergency department or collaborative emergency centre. But call first to make sure it is open.
Dial 911 in the case of a health emergency; paramedics can administer live saving treatment during transport to hospital.
In non-emergency situations, residents can call 811 to speak to a registered nurse 24 hours a day, seven days a week for advice.
When you go to any emergency department bring your Nova Scotia health card, a list of your medications and a list of allergies.
South West Health suggests the following ways to stay healthy and to help avoid a trip to the emergency department:
wear your seat belt and drive safely
wear safety equipment at work and play
wear non-slip footwear
remove loose wires and things you may trip over,
don't smoke
wash your hands often
don't drink and drive.

Armenian government, Asian Development Bank sign $100-million agreement for investment in North-South road construction
YEREVAN, March 12. /ARKA/. Armenian Finance Minister David Sargsyan and Asian Development Bank Resident Representative in Armenia David Dole signed an agreement on the third, $100-million tranche for investment in construction of North-South transport corridor, the finance ministry's press office reported on Tuesday.
This transport corridor will ensure connection among Armenia's provinces and will serve as way to other countries.
The third tranche is intended for three purposes – recovery of the 18.7-kilometer two-way road section connecting Talin and Lanjik cities and its expansion and transformation into a four-lane road; development and implementation of a long-term road sub-sectorial program and the administrative system running transport assets; preparation of feasibility studies on a 304-kilometer road section between Artashat and Kajaran and support for implementation of the program and preparation for the next tranche of the North-South investment program, including feasibility studies and a detailed engineering project .
Earlier, Eurasian Development Bank said feasibility studies to North-South Highway – Phase 4 will be ready in late April 2014.
The 556-kilometer North-South Road Corridor links Central Asia and India with Iran, Georgia, Russian Federation and Europe. The corridor passes across Armenia from South to North (Meghri-Kapan-Goris-Yerevan-Ashtarak-Gumri-Bavra), links up with the Georgian road leading to seaports Poti and Batumi (Black Sea) and on toward Russia, CIS and EU. -0----

SACRAMENTO — In celebration of National Archives Month, archives and special collections libraries from throughout the region will showcase their rarely-seen holdings during the 3rd annual Sacramento Archives Crawl from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5.
Free and open to the public, the theme for the event this year is A Passion to Preserve and crawl participants can expect to see a wide range of historic materials plus receive helpful advice and "how-to" information about caring for their own family archives. Showcasing historic treasures from twenty-three Northern California institutions, special artifacts will be on public display for one-day-only at four host locations, including the California State Archives, the California State Library, the Center for Sacramento History and the Sacramento Public Library.
For the first time, the annual Archives Crawl will include a free, all-day Preservation Fair at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria. Professionals from the preservation community — conservators, archivists, bookbinders, and art/photo restorers and framers — will be on-hand to answer questions and make suggestions on caring for family papers, photographs, art, textiles and even home movies.
As part of the Archives Crawl, participants can visit four host locations, all located within downtown Sacramento, where they can view archival collections on display and take behind-the-scenes tours. A sampling of the items on special display for the event this year include an 1857 replica of the Great Seal of the State of California painted on glass that once hung in the U.S. Capitol Building (California State Archives), the 1854 Official Map of the City of Sacramento with vignettes that was professionally restored five years ago (Center for Sacramento History) and an 1899 telephone book that covers California, Oregon and Washington housed in a gorgeous custom clamshell box (Sacramento Public Library). In addition, representatives from other archives and special collections libraries will be at the host locations to discuss their archival collections — historic photographs, rare books, historic artifacts — and answer questions about how to connect with local history resources.
Participants may start at any of the Sacramento locations: California State Archives, 1020 O St.; California State Library, 900 N St.; Center for Sacramento History, 551 Sequoia Pacific Blvd; and the Sacramento Public Library, Sacramento Room, 828 I St.
Free Archives Crawl passports will be given to guests as they visit the first host institution of their choice. The passport provides a map of the event and information about the participating institutions. Event attendees who get their passport stamped at three of the four host sites will be given a set of limited-edition commemorative coasters that celebrate the A Passion to Preserve theme. The set of coasters include reproductions of a Japanese Sen Nin Bari vest, the first Sacramento City Seal, the California State Seal and the earliest known image of Sacramento. Free transportation between host locations will be provided via a 1950s-era transit bus.
This event was made possible by financial support from Hollinger-Metal Edge, SMUD, Stonebridge Properties, the California State Library Foundation, the Gordon-Goldstein Foundation, the Sacramento History Foundation and the Sacramento Public Library.
For more information about the third annual Sacramento Archives Crawl visit sacarchivescrawl.blogspot.com. The Sacramento Archives Crawl is part of Archives Month, a nationwide celebration held each October to raise awareness of the value of archives and to recognize the archivists who bring the past to the present.

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Francis Marion University men's and women's basketball teams will play host to Clayton State University for a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader, Saturday afternoon (Jan. 24), including a battle for first place in the women's PBC standings.
The twinbill will tip-off with the women's game at 2 p.m. in the Smith University Center, followed by the men's contest at 4 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for students.
Both games will be aired on WWFN-FM 100.1 The Fan and carried live on Time Warner Cable channel 11 in Florence.
The women's contest will pit the first-place Patriots (13-1, 6-1) against the 24th-ranked and second-place Clayton State Women (12-3, 6-2). Francis Marion has won all eight of its home games this season, and leads the all-time series 11-9. However, Clayton State did knock FMU out of the NCAA Tournament last March in the most recent meeting.
Junior guard Shana Franks and sophomore forward Shannon Singleton-Bates lead the Patriots in scoring with averages of 15.9 and 13.9 points per game respectively, as the squad continues to lead the nation in scoring offense.
The Francis Marion men (10-4, 3-4) will be looking to snap a two-game slide when they take the floor against the Lakers (10-5, 3-5). Clayton State leads the all-time men's series 10-6, but Francis Marion won the last meeting in February 2008, and the Lakers have not won in Florence since March 2003.
Senior forward Sam Smith paces three Patriots in double figures with an 11.1 ppg average.

West Virginia defense stands out in victory
The West Virginia defense was stout against Marshall, giving up just 207 yards to the Thundering Herd. It's the second game in a row that WVU held an opponent to less than 250 yards of offense.
West Virginia was just the second team this season to hold Marshall running back Darius Marshall to under 100 yards. Marshall finished with 82 yards on 25 attempts. Coming into the game, Marshall was averaging 147 yards per game.
MU quarterback Brian Anderson completed less than 50 percent of his passes (17 of 35) for just 149 yards. He also threw two interceptions.
"Our defense kept us in the game," WVU coach Bill Stewart said. "We are very proud of them."
• West Virginia is now 9-0 all-time against Marshall.
• In the series, Marshall has only led going into the half once. That game, in 2006, West Virginia also came back to win.
• With 103 yards on the ground, Noel Devine moved into fifth place on the Mountaineers' all-time rushing list. He now has 2,650 yards in his career.
• The Mountaineers wore gold jerseys and white pants for the first time in program history. Stewart also wore his blue sweater vest for the third game in a row. Stewart is 3-0 when wearing the vest.
• Current Miami Dolphins and former WVU star quarterback Pat White was in attendance at Saturday's game. He got to see his brother, Coley, play in his first career game. Coley came in for Geno Smith in the fourth quarter. Coley did not throw a pass, but he rushed three times for seven yards.

wBW Book Review by Bill C. for webBikeWorld.com
I guess I'm the resident British Bike
nut, although just about all of us here at webBikeWorld
cut our teeth on a British bike of one form or another
back in the '50's and '60's, so anything from the
Motherland is near and dear to our hearts.
I'm not sure if motorcycle riders born
from the '70's on realize just how critical, how
important and how influential the British motorcycle
industry was to the sport of motorcycling throughout the
world; how big and how long-lived that industry was --
and how quickly and sadly it faded.
In fact, I'll go as far as saying that
every single motorcyclist everywhere in the world owes a
huge debt to the British motorcycle industry. I
doubt very much if we'd be where we are today without
that ground-breaking history.
Also, I'd like to give a big thank-you
to Crowood Press for publishing, printing and binding
this book in England. The huge publishing
conglomerates have surely given up on publishing
esoteric tomes such as The British Motorcycle Directory,
and to make matters worse, they seem to print nearly
everything in a least-cost country with profit the only
motive. But it just wouldn't seem right to publish
a book such as this anywhere other than Old Blighty.
I have no connection whatsoever with
Crowood other than as a fan of their work, and I can
highly recommend checking out their website to see a
variety of books that probably can't be found anywhere
else; works ranging from "The Handbook of Stage
Lighting" to "Russian Piston Aero Engines" and much
more, and most at bargain prices.
All-righty then...on to the review.
We've said this before and it bears repeating: Roy Bacon is very well known to regular webBikeWorld book
review readers as the author of many motorcycle books, including the
Illustrated Triumph
Motorcycle Buyer's
Guide and its companion, the
Illustrated Norton
Motorcycle Buyer's Guide;
British Motorcycles of
the 1930's and many more.
Roy Bacon is one of the world's best known
motorcycle historians and a prolific writer, and he has partnered with Ken
Hallworth on The British Motorcycle Directory.
Hallworth was the Secretary of the Vintage Motor Cycle
Club and the founder of the widely read Old Bike Mart
The British Motorcycle Directory could
probably be thought of as "the encyclopedia of British
motorcycle manufacturers", but a book of that name has
already been published. The British Motorcycle
Directory includes 850 (I'll take their word for it!)
photographs and it covers -- get this -- over 1,100
British motorcycle manufacturers from 1888 onwards.
The British motorcycle industry was
"full steam ahead" back in the first half of the 20th
Century, and the book has entries for them all, from
"A&A Autocarrier" to "Zephyr" and everything in between.
Some of the lesser-known or shorter-lived marques yield
only a brief paragraph, but the more popular brands get
their due.
This is not really a "sit down and read"
book; it's more like a good resident of a coffee table that can be
perused at will and it will surely stoke the imagination
-- and, for me, the desire to locate, purchase and
restore one of those very rare bikes.
Just to make it clear, the book is
formatted like an encyclopedia, from A to Z, so don't
expect to find a huge amount of information on each
marque; instead, there are brief entries and the book's
value comes more from its breadth rather than its depth.
Two nits I will pick is that: 1) I think
it is a serious oversight to not have an index of any
type in a book of this nature; and 2) It would have been
nice to have some color photographs, at least of the
bikes made after the 1960's.
Not having an index is the more serious
of the two, but nevertheless, the A to Z format at least
makes up for it.
So if you're a British bike fan, you may
certainly want to have a copy of The British Motorcycle
Directory on your bookshelf (if not your coffee table),
for its historical significance and certainly for the
fun of it. The book can be found at discount and
-- who knows -- maybe you'll remember enough about an
obscure marque to win back the price with a bar bet some

Watch Meghan McCain tell Dick Cheney to "go away" and riff on the future of the McCain clan.
I went everywhere he was, and I was just off-camera talking to him so we could riff stuff back-and-forth.
We even get appearances by riff Raff (Richard O'Brien) and the Gyro Captain (Bruce Spence) in minor roles.
Obama did a riff about all the challenges America has faced and overcome.
They all riff off the same core stereotypes, which will make it harder for Mitt Romney to connect with the middle class.
By common consent, Miss Amy had always been presented with the largest vegetable marrow that riff could produce.
In the riff he might be potted at, he might not: he would risk that.
Off the beaten track and anywhere in the riff country his life would not be worth a flus (small copper coin).
To explore the unknown riff country would be interesting indeed.
The punishment inflicted on the riff pirates was soon forgotten, and they continued their depredations on British commerce.
"melodic phrase in jazz," 1935 (but said to have been used by musicians since c.1917), of uncertain origin, perhaps a shortened form of riffle, or altered from refrain. The verb is attested from 1942, from the noun. Also in extended use. Related: Riffed; riffing.
[origin unknown; perhaps echoic; perhaps fr refrain; perhaps fr riffle or ripple in the sense of ''try, shot, crack'']
A refrigerator car; reefer1 (1950s+ Railroad)

Boldy broke into the rap scene with his extremely ill debut mixtape, Pros And Cons: Trappers Alley. The tape showcased the rapper's knowledge with the crime and drug-dealing world of the D, at the same time, showcasing that Boldy has bars far beyond your average trap/drug-touting rapper. It's Boldy's unique perspective and sense of reality that sets him apart. When Boldy spits, you know he's only saying the real shit he's actually lived and experienced. The rapper's affiliation with Chuck Inglish (they're blood cousins) landed him a few Chuck beats on his debut, and in general, Boldy stays working with underrated underground producers, from Brains, to the Plug, to Blended Babies, and in more recent times, The Alchemist.
Since his debut tape, Boldy has delivered two more mixtapes (Consignement: Favor For A Favor, and his latest which dropped in September,Jammin': 30 In The Morning), plus an EP Grand Quarters. All this music was leading up to his highly anticipated debut album with the aforementioned producer The Alchemist, M.1.C.S.: My 1st Chemistry Set. The first single off the album, "Moochie," once again displays Boldy Leggo Blocks James' lyrical adeptness, in a modern-day "Ebonics"-style rap. The song is all about how Boldy gives nicknames to everything—and he breaks down just what those names are, and what they mean. It's dope on quite a few levels, but at its most basic, have you ever heard a song about nicknaming shit? Seriously. Everyone in rap is uses nicknames, whether it's their rap moniker, the name of their movement, or slang that gets used on the daily, it's basically a 'nickname', but when was the last time a rapper actually spoke on that? Pair that with gritty production from Alchemist, and you have a hard banger.

Well, if it involves bulky "crap" like including perl, then no way, but
I don't think anybody has been considering that. ;) If you guys can
come up with a solution that doesn't take more than, say, 100 KBs worth
of stuff to be added to the root filesystem and copes with low-end
embedded platforms (think about a 32 MB/100 MHz net4511), I'll probably
be fine with it. Should be feasible, especially if we're only talking
about an AUP and no login yet. Probably best written in C (port
NoCatSplash?). Of course it will have to be put under the BSD license
like the rest of m0n0wall. And I reserve the right to make "cosmetic
adjustments" if required, but I think those who have gone to the
trouble of contributing code already know that I do that with only the
best of intentions. :)
Did you check that it fits in with the rest of m0n0wall without
requiring a complete overhaul thereof? I mean - you know that ipfilter
doesn't do layer 2 filtering, and that ipfw has got a kinda "reserved"
function for the traffic shaper, which must work no matter if the
captive portal is on or off. Same goes for other functions like VPN
etc. of course.
> + a checkbox somewhere in the GUI to turn the captive portal on/off

I'd prefer HTTP - with copy & paste via the webGUI, and stored base64
encoded in config.xml, as with the webGUI SSL certificates. I want all
the config in one single place - no config file mess.
> (or should we use the m0n0wall dev list?)
I'd say so... That's what it is for.
Good luck!

Player of the Year: F Josh Page, Sr., East Lake
Why we picked him: Page was a bit of a mystery last season. He transferred to East Lake from Pennsylvania and started scoring goals in droves. This season, opponents knew all about him …and still couldn't stop him. Page led the Eagles with 30 goals despite missing two weeks with a groin injury. For his two-year East Lake career, Page tallied 96 goals. "I never let him score more than three goals in a game and now I kind of regret it," coach Alex Stenson said. "He got so close to 100. What he has done the last two years is remarkable, really." Page played a big role in East Lake advancing to the Class 5A state semifinal. He said goals aren't the only thing he enjoys about playing soccer. "Everyone loves to score, no doubt," Page said. "It's just the excitement of it. And I'm proud that I got close to 100 goals. But it's really not all about that. It's just as exciting passing to a teammate to score." Stenson said as good as Page was on the field, he was just as impressive off it. "Let me tell you something about Josh," Stenson said. "We had a freshman on the team who really just wanted to be around the guys. He wasn't as talented but he worked very hard, so I made him a manager. Josh took him under his wing. He would take him aside and try to teach him things about the game. He didn't have to do that, but that's the kind of person Josh is."
Most impressive accomplishment: East Lake finally got past the region finals, defeating Newsome 1-0. For Page, being in a state tournament was a first. "Since my freshman year I've never been able to get past the regionals," he said. "To get to the state tournament exceeded my expectations. Even though it was a heartbreaker (penalty kicks loss to Boca Raton), it was nice just to get there."
Did you know? Page is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. "Faith is everything to me." Page said. "I was raised in a Christian household. It has always been a part of me."
What's next? Page said it isn't official, but he expects to play college soccer at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
Coach of the year
Alex Stenson, East Lake: Stenson had a team loaded with talent that suffered its fair share of injuries throughout the season. By the playoffs, the Eagles were playing without five top players yet still advanced to the state tournament. East Lake was one penalty kick from advancing to the state final.
First team
F Oswald Francis, Jr., St. Petersburg: Had 19 goals and missed more than a week with a knee injury. Can take over a game, as he did with three second-half goals against Seminole.
F Caulin Donaldson, Sr., Osceola: Warriors' top goal scorer with 21 in 18 games played; also had five assists to lead Osceola to region play.
F Shane Butler, Sr., Seminole: One of those players who has a knack for scoring goals, Butler had 21 and eight assists.
F Andrew Goodman, Sr., Seminole: Scored seven goals and added three assists; had a big goal against Northeast in the district semifinal that assured the Warhawks a region berth.
MF Stevie Rudderham, Jr., Northeast: Had 20 goals and 10 assists to help lead the Vikings to region play.
MF Liam Murphy, Sr., Seminole: Scored 12 goals and had seven assists as one of the Warhawks' most consistent players.
MF Pierre Goris, Jr., East Lake: An academy player last season, Goris played 21 games for the Eagles and scored nine goals.
MF Semmes Bruce, Sr., St. Petersburg: A tremendous ball handler who can defend, assist or score goals.
D Reid Hammil, Sr., Indian Rocks Christian: The four-year starter was the glue on defense. The senior all-star selection hopes to play college soccer next season.
D Blake Bryant, Jr., St. Petersburg: A tenacious defender who also had the ability to push up field; had some big stops and big goals this season.
D Daniel Mahler, Sr., East Lake: Stenson says Mahler "reads the game so well." As the central defender, Mahler controlled the back for a very stingy East Lake defense.
GK Jeff Richmond, Sr., East Lake: The Eagles were loaded at goalkeeper, but Richmond played the most. He allowed fewer than a goal per game and was a member of the county senior all-star team.
Second team
F Jake Moore, Jr. St. Petersburg
F Jake Luff, Sr., Osceola
F Tanner Young, Jr., East Lake
MF Donovan Price, Sr., Clearwater
MF Jacob Carson, Sr., Palm Harbor University
MF Kalju Jake Nekvasil, So., Shorecrest
MF Dylan Jones, Sr., Northeast
D Juan Baltazar, So., Northeast
D Tyler Kaminski, Sr., Palm Harbor University
D Parker Bryant, So., St. Petersburg

Creating a Stephen Few style Bullet Graph with gChartPhp and Google Charts
Over the last month I have been focusing in on building a Business Intelligence Sales Dashboard for one of my clients. Dashboards are such handy tools as they give you a quick glance look at the activity going on and provide each in this case, Sales reps with their key metrics to help improve sales techniques and generally the ability to do their jobs (as well as add in a little healthy competition into the sales game!).
After a little research into various different metrics and ways of displaying metrics in a clean and simply way I came across the book "Information Dashboard Design" by Stephen Few, one of the real pioneers in effective data communication who created the "Bullet Graph" and who's work I have been following for a while now.
(Above: The humble Bullet Graph)
Essentially the Bullet Graph is a much smaller and more effective replacement for the ever popular (and I say ghastly looking) dashboard gauge that seems to make an appearance on many a dashboard. The Bullet Graph shows KPI performance tracking through "poor, average, good" ranges (normally red, yellow, green on many gauge style graphs), performance relative to some target plus a few other metrics, all in a very small space compared with a gauge.
Bullet Graphs pack in a lot of information for their relative size and can be interpreted very quickly due to it taking advantage of pre-attentive perception. Our brain is hardwired to subconsciously recognise certain basic shapes which we process first before our conscious mind completes the job. You will notice on the Bullet Graph example above the point at which the performance achieves the target creates a "cross" shape, so with a very quick glance you can tell even before reading the graph or looking more closely at numbers that a target has been achieved and that metric is on track!
Now imagine a stack of 50 bullet graphs vs 50 dashboard gauges packed into the same space... how quickly could you find out the number of achieved targets with each style of visualisation? That may be an interesting follow up post and experiment!
On with the show...
The follow step by step process will walk through how to generate a Bullet Graph using the Google Charts API and a PHP wrapper class called gChartPhp available to make life much easier. I have based the Bullet Graph creation on a great article on the Dealer Diagnostics blog which goes into the basics of building these style data visualisations and the various parts they are made up of, well worth a read.
First things first, you will want to download and include the gChartPHP class into your PHP application (in my case I included it in my SilverStripe CMS). This gives you access to a wide range of different styles of graphs available through Google Charts. Each style of graph is its own PHP class which extends a main gChart class with all the shared functions used across all graphs.
Next, gather your data, whether it is hard-coded or pulled from a database you will need the following pieces of data to build out your bullet graph.
* Some level of performance, for example this could be the number of sales made in a week.
* The target figure which we will match the level of performance against.
* Range figures for displaying the "poor, average, good" KPI ranges, the range figure represents the dividers between the ranges, i.e. between poor and average & between average and good (because we already know the start of the poor range starts at 0, and the end of the good range finished at the end of the graph).
* A max number of units for the X axis (this give you the full length of the graph we are creating).
A basic example of these figures variables for PHP might be:
$sales = 15
$target = 12
$range1 = 6;
$range2 = 10;
$max = 20;
Step 1:
Instantiate the Stacked Bar Chart class (You could also use a regular Bar Chart, but I will add some extra metrics later using this stacked style, make sure you read to the end!). It accepts a width and height parameter.
include gChart.php;
$bulletGraph = new gStackedBarChart(180,40);
Add the performance figure as an array to the graph, this eventually creates the thick black line which for example measures sales.
Step 2:
Add the target figure to the graph (vertical thin black line). For internal range markers, Google Charts measures the length of an axis on a scale of 0.0 - 1.0 so we must perform a percentage calculation ($target/$max) to find the point on the axis to include the target (Which is 0.01 thick).
Step 3
Set up the visual style that turns a regular bar chart into a Bullet Graph style.
$bulletGraph->setColors(array("000000","AAAAAA")); //black bar for performance, plus another colour if we want a ghost bar later (See the last paragraph about these).
$bulletGraph->setBarWidth('8','8','12'); //sets up the width of the performance bar and the space either side.
$bulletGraph->addAxisRange(0, 0, $max); //sets the length of the x axis in terms of numbers of performance.
$bulletGraph->setDataRange(0, $max); //sets the allowed range of data, in this case our sales figure will sit between 0 and the max length of the graph.
Step 4
Next we setup the ranges - poor, average and good. Again using range markers and the percentage calculation. We also set a series of gray scale colours for each range moving from dark to light tone.
$bulletGraph->addValueMarkers('r','666666','0','0',$range1/$max); //poor
$bulletGraph->addValueMarkers('r','999999','0',$range1/$max,$range2/$max); //average
$bulletGraph->addValueMarkers('r','CCCCCC','0',$range2/$max,'1'); //good
Step 5
Add the visible axis and flip the graph on to its side... alternatively if you require a vertical bullet graph you can exclude the setHorizintal() method and switch the x and y in the setVisibleAxes() method (Remember to also change the width and height dimensions to suit too!).
$bulletGraph->setVisibleAxes(array('x','y')); //display the axis label along the x axis i.e. the count of sales
$bulletGraph->setHorizontal(true); //This sets the graph on its side as a bullet graph (If you require a vertical bullet graph you can turn this off and switch the visible axis from eariler).
$bulletGraph = new gStackedBarChart(40,80);
$bulletGraph->setVisibleAxes(array('y','x')); //display the axis label along the y axis i.e. the count of sales
Step 6
Add a label to explain what the bullet graph is for...
$bulletGraph->addAxisLabel(1,array('Sales per week'));
Step 7
Return the Google Charts URL to generate the graph in your template, view or echo to the page wrapped in an <img> tag.
echo "<img src='".$bulletGraph->getUrl()."' />";
Taking things a step further...
Here are a couple of extra additions you can make to the basic bullet graph.
Example 1: Measuring two targets on one Bullet Graph
Add an extra range marker and adjust the thickness of the lines, again you will be able to tell if targets are achieved as they will make the cross shape and each vertical line will display thick or thin.
$target = 12;
$target2 = 14;
$max = 20;
(This Bullet Graph shows that both targets 1 & 2 have been achieved.)
Example 2: Performance against some past performance or forecast
In some cases you may want to track performance against your target and also a previos level of performance such as a personal best or a company record, or alternatively you may want to track against some forecast for exmaple budgeted vs actual expenditure. Again Bullet Graphs to the rescue.
By using gChartPhp's Stacked Bar Chart as our base for the Bullet Graph we can add an extra set of data to the stack and create what I like to call a "ghost"*. This ghost data variable is equal to the personal best figure (or budgeted figure if its a forcast) minus the current level of performance.
This give a lighter coloured line that sits behind the main performance indication line and shows the max level of performance that line has reach (in the case of a personal best) or the budgeted amount (in the case of a forcast).
$sales = 15;
$personalbest = 18;
$ghost = $personalbest - $sales;
(This Bullet Graph shows that the target is achieved but they are not quite at the personal best record yet.)
(This Bullet Graph shows forecast revenue Year to Date, they haven't reached the yearly target, or the forecast revenue yet.)
*The analogy of a "ghost" line comes from my years as a young gamer playing 1080 Snowboarding on the N64... you had the option of turning on the "Ghost" which was a recording of your best previous attempt at a level in the game which was a transperent gray version of your game charater you would try to beat your best time!

Breiden Fehoko is a powerful individual and projects as an ideal three-tech at the next level. He measured in at a rock solid 6-2.5, 290 pounds at The Opening and was an absolute load to deal with all week. He's not just strong, he can get off the ball, has violent hands and once he learns more technique, will be impossible to stop at the next level.
"This whole week was just a huge blessing for me," Fehoko said. "For me, my whole mindset coming in was just to learn and get better. I want to soak up all this great coaching and get better. I learned so much from the guys and the competition was incredible.
"The best part is going to be a few years down the line when were all in college. We can all look back at this experience with great memories. I've bonded with all the guys here, it's a special group and I'm just thrilled I had the opportunity to be a part of it."
On the recruiting front, Fehoko committed back in April to Texas Tech.
"I'm still as solid as ever," Fehoko said. "I'm an early grad too so my goal is to get in there for spring ball, make an early impression and get on the field next year. I thought about taking trips at one point but I'm not going to do that any more. I'm rock solid and don't want to waste time with that.
"I'm going to focus on my senior season and have the best year I can. Then it's off to the UA Game and I'm looking forward to that and then I'll get home and get ready to leave for school. It's going to be happen fast for me but I knew that, that's why I committed so early. It's a huge blessing, I'm so thankful for all of this and I'm just soaking it all in."

I had Lipoma Removal (for a 5 cm lipoma) in the office of a plastic surgeon ten days ago. It was in the groin area, and as you all have written, came back non-cancerous. Two days after, I complained of a burning pain in the area of the lipoma removal. I was told this would go away, but it has gotten worse. The plastic surgeon who operated on me said she did not know what to do, so she sent me to another plastic surgeon who injected the area with a one step above lidocaine medicine(I was told it would last longer than lidocain).
I now notice upon standing in and looking at the site that there is a small sac at the bottom of the incision, actually where I am complaining that the pain is coming from. It's about the size of a half dollar. I noticed this because I was told by the dr who operated on me that I should massage the area. Is this normal? What is causing this? When will it go away and what can I do for follow up care?

text: NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Shares of homebuilders and their suppliers were down Monday after a KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. analyst said weak job growth this year probably would not be enough to help the housing market shake off excess inventory from foreclosures and vacant units. KeyBanc analyst Kenneth Zener said the health of the housing market will be closely tied to the labor market this year. Basically, workers need a steady income before they are willing to take on debt to buy a new home, and disappointing job creation hasn't created enough new positions this year to significantly reduce the unemployment rate. As Zener put it in a note to clients: "no job (equals) no house." Zener analyzed employment trends in the nation's top 25 markets for homebuilding in April, and found that the jobs market improved, along with the pace of new home building permits. But the growth was tepid. The top 25 markets gained 262,000 jobs from a year earlier, while 169,000 permits were issued. Year-over-year job growth occurred in 16 of 25 markets, compared with 15 markets six months ago. A year ago, only four markets showed job growth. Still, the growth won't be enough to soak up the excess housing supply after a wave of foreclosures put empty houses on the market, Zener said. "Over the next several years, we expect still weak job growth to dilute longer-term demographic demand, as household formations remain tied to job growth," Zener said. Since 1960, it has taken about 1.2 jobs to be created to support one new housing unit, Zener said. He predicted that housing demand in the next decade will continue to be tied to job growth, but that the new demand will have to absorb 2 million excess vacant units left over from the housing crisis and recession.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Fox 5.0 Mustang Tech' started by sidewayzisbest, Dec 7, 2003.
can anyone tell me the specs and the sequence for my stock heads on my 91 gt
follow the sequence in the pic i attached and torque to 55-65ft. lbs first than repeat again to 65-72ft.lbs
now can anyone give me a pic and the specs for the intake =D.....
first tighten to 8ft.lbs
than 16ft.lbs
finally 23-25ft.lbs
no problem
Just a question.....why don't u torque down the intake like the heads, starting in the middle and working out in a circle?
Not trying to argue with BMO37, I'm just wondering
