The Mid York Library System is located in Utica, New York. Centrally located in the Mohawk Valley, it is a cooperative public library system and its mission is to "improve and expand library service in the counties of Madison, Oneida, and Herkimer". Mid York's chartered to serve population is 372,839 residents located within the geographic area of 3,279 square miles.
Mid York, its 43 member libraries and one reading center are fortunate to be located in a beautiful part of New York State, enriched by the vibrant and diverse communities we are chartered to serve. As Utica is also the home to the Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees, in a local elementary school alone, over 40 languages are spoken! Our libraries are unique as the communities they serve. A sampling includes a Carnegie library; one located on the path of the famous yellow brick road; another houses an Egyptian mummy, while another was dedicated by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Regardless of any special distinction, each library is universally valued and recognized by the people they serve as community and information centers.
In 2014, Mid York in collaboration with its libraries and community partners, hosted a community read program, themed Grassroots Read. Instead of the typical community read approach of using a single book, Grassroots Read was unique in that three books were selected for three different reading levels. The Four County Library System partnered with Mid York in hosting its own Grassroots Read initiative in their service area. The idea behind the locally themed Grassroots concept is to focus on a specific aspect of the region and to demonstrate that libraries provide information and programming that is interesting, exciting, and relevant to their local communities. The 2014 Grassroots Read focus was local agriculture and the books selected were:
- The Dirty Life by Rome, NY native Kristin Kimball (Adult and pre-college teen level)
- Potatoes on Rooftops by Hadley Dyer (Middle and Early High School level)
- Tops & Bottoms by Janet Stevens (Elementary School level)
During this time, many libraries offered a variety of programs and activities centered on the local agriculture theme. Grassroots Read culminated with author Kristin Kimball's visit to the region with two Q & A community events. Kristin was also the keynote speaker at Mid York's Annual Meeting and Dinner.
Like other New York State library systems, Mid York is a true example of a successful 'economy of scale' endeavor that has been in place for 55 years. In partnership with our libraries, we provide an array of excellent library services which benefits all the diverse residents of our collective and distinctive service areas.

Bills pending in Congress would inform consumers if a used car had been previously totaled by an insurer . Similar legislation in the Senate and House would prevent cars that have been considered totaled by insurance companies because of flood, theft, or collision damage to be sold as if they had an clean past.
For once Congress seems to be on target. It is a common practice for damaged vehicles to be sold at auction and rebuilt and given clean titles, preventing would-be buyers from realizing that vehicles had a questionable past.
This will hurt used car sellers who might have to reduce the asking price for damaged cars, but it is only fair to consumers to know as much as the insurance companies. I might still buy a rebuilt car, but I'd certainly like to have all of the available information.

Mother Nature is wreaking some havoc on Lake of the Ozarks this spring, but it's nothing to be too concerned about. Rapidly rising temperatures are behind some natural phenomena on the water this year, according to state officials.
Mother Nature is wreaking some havoc on Lake of the Ozarks this spring, but it's nothing to be too concerned about. Rapidly rising temperatures are behind some natural phenomena on the water this year, according to state officials.
The extreme heat the area has been seeing recently is considered a main contributing factor to unofficial reports of green water as well as official reports of fish kills at Lake of the Ozarks in June. While rain storms Wednesday afternoon and evening cooled things down, the Lake area along with the rest of mid-Missouri had been seeing daily temperatures in the 90-degree F range and even 100 degrees or more at times with little precipitation, weather more common in the Missouri "dog days of summer' in July and August.
On Wednesday, Greg Stoner confirmed reports of a fish kill on Lake of the Ozarks. Stoner is the Missouri Department of Conservation Fisheries Management Biologist for the Lake.
According to Stoner, the kill appears to be restricted to the lower Gravois and Glaize arms, and is due to low dissolved oxygen in the water. He attributed the water conditions to high water temperatures which, before the rain, were approaching 90 degrees.
Non-toxic algal blooms contributed to the fish kill. When a large volume of algae dies off, it causes the dissolved oxygen to dive, Stoner explained.
Anyone concerned about swimming safety might want to avoid areas of water where there are large volumes of dead fish, but other than that the water is fine. It's not a pollution issue, he said.
The early-season heat appears to be behind reports in the last week of two of the Lake of the Ozarks looking a little more green than usual.
High temperatures, lots of light and little rain along with plenty of nutrients in the water may be causing algal blooms, but that doesn't mean they are toxic blooms.
According to Stoner, algal blooms on the lower Gravois are fairly common each year during the summer.
Water quality concerns can always be sent to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, but according to DNR Water Quality Monitoring Section Chief Lynn Milberg, green water is not necessarily harmful and is not an uncommon phenomenon, especially given the environmental conditions this spring.
A relatively dry spring, there has been less rain to flush out the lake and less discharge at Bagnell Dam which means less movement of the water. These factors combined with extreme heat for the time of year when there are lots of nutrients in the water can mean more algae on top of the water, she explained. That is not necessarily a "bloom."
Heat, lots of light and nutrients can make algae growth increase especially in coves where the water may be shallower and sees less movement, says Milberg, but that does not necessarily mean it is a harmful bloom that is large enough to deplete oxygen to aquatic life. It would be more odd to see green water in the main channel where movement from all the boating actually inhibits algae growth, she added.
Large amounts of dead fish in the water — a fish kill — according to Milberg, can be a signifier that a toxic bloom is taking place, but fish kills can occur for a variety of reasons with multiple contributing factors.
Algal blooms are caused by excessive nitrogen and phosphorus in the water, causing algae growth to occur faster than aquatic ecosystems can handle. It is considered harmful only when it has "detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystems; or human, livestock or pet health," according to DNR's definitions.
Algae can impact food and habitat and decrease oxygen in the water when occurring in significant volumes. Algal blooms are harmful to people only if they produce elevated toxins and bacterial growth.
Blue-green algae, what is actually cyanobacteria not algae, would be of greater concern. According to DNR, this bacteria can multiply quickly under certain conditions and are one of the more concerning types of what people think of as algal blooms. Cyanobacteria is capable of producing toxins that can be harmful to humans and other animals.
While all algal blooms look different from one body of water to another because of so many varying conditions, regular algae is often a darker, more subtle green than cyanobacteria which can be a really bright green.
Without seeing the green water lake residents have been talking about, Milberg says she can't say for sure the cause or what is is. In addition to algae, it could also be a spill of some kind or a dye trace.
With the amount of water circulating Lake of the Ozarks, though these issues typically dissipate fairly quickly.
Anyone concerned about a suspected algal bloom or other water quality issue on Lake of the Ozarks or another body of water in Missouri may report the issue to DNR at https://dnr.mo.gov/env/cyanobacteria.htm by filling out the Suspected Harmful Algal Bloom Notification Form or download their BloomWatch App. General environmental concerns, such as a trash dump or discarded tires in a stream, can be made at https://dnr.mo.gov/concern.htm. Fish kills or accidental release of pollutants and chemicals represent an environmental emergency. You may call DNR's Environmental Response Spill Line at 573-634-2436 or call the Missouri Department of Health and Seniors Services' Public Health Emergency Hotline at 800-392-0272.

Liverpool and Everton have both made moves to solve their biggest problems this January but five other Premier League clubs have desperate needs…
Man United desperately need 'oomph'
And nobody has more oomph that a motivated Alexis Sanchez. Remember that Luis Suarez-style maelstrom of energy that threatened to startle Arsenal out of their malaise before realising that he would always be the exception rather than the rule, and deciding that his future lay anywhere but the sleepy Emirates? The hope is that a combination of Jose Mourinho, an actual fight for actual trophies and a desire to prove a point to every journalist, fan or pundit that doubted his ridiculous talents will unleash that streetfighting Sanchez again. You know, the one that is almost a parody of a South American footballer.
And boy do United need him. They have guile in the shape of Juan Mata, pace via the lightening feet of Antony Martial and Marcus Rashford and an improbable combination of finishing and energy from the never-knowingly-still Jesse Lingard, but they lack a dynamo; they lack an irresistible force of nature. When a central midfielder tops your dribble charts, you know you need 'oomph' further up the pitch.
Arsenal desperately need a good news story
If at the end of the transfer window, they have sold Theo Walcott and Francis Coquelin for over £30m and somehow eked £35m out of Manchester United for a player with just a few months left on his contract and yet brought in the pairing that scored 60-plus goals in one season for Borussia Dortmund, then everything looks a little bit brighter. And things have been dark at Arsenal for so long that the smallest of lamps will provide a comforting glow.
Theo Walcott also going to Everton. If Arsenal lose Sanchez and Walcott, but gain Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan, then it's not so bad after all…
— John Cross (@johncrossmirror) January 15, 2018
The slivers of good news from Arsenal's season (Jack Wilshere's fitness, Ainsley Maitland-Niles' emergence) have been drowned in a sea of bad news (Alexis Sanchez leaving, Mesut Ozil in limbo, the continued injury to Santi Cazorla, the disappointment of Alexandre Lacazette, the football); how Arsene Wenger must long for one of those rare moments when he can stretch out his arms in triumph rather than despair. In the absence of uplifting performances, they must produce uplifting transfers.
Newcastle desperately need quality
The eleven players who started Newcastle's predictably forgettable 1-1 draw with Swansea on Saturday all played in the Championship last season. That tells you pretty much all you need to know about Newcastle's desperate need for new faces. They spent north of £35m on six not-quite players in the summer and not a single one of those not-quite players was deemed worthy of starting against a poor Swansea side. For all Mikel Merino's obvious talent, Rafa Benitez is still opting for Mo Diame and Jonjo Shelvey.
Newcastle need quality throughout the team, but particularly up front. When your top Premier League scorer is a Stoke reject with four goals, you know you have problems. A striker would ideally be followed by a goalkeeper, two full-backs and a central midfielder, but right now both Benitez and Newcastle would take a striker worthy of the description.
Chelsea desperately need a new striker
Alvaro Morata is broken. Playing far more football than he has ever played is taking its toll on the Spaniard in his first season as a first-choice striker. But Antonio Conte believes he has no option but to continue flogging a dead (or at least knackered) horse, with literally no trust for Michy Batshuayi, who has played fewer Premier League minutes than every Chelsea player bar Charly Musonda and Ethan Ampadu. And Conte absolutely will not countenance playing them together; 15 minutes in the Carabao Cup was apparently enough to convince him that was a bad idea.
Chelsea need back-up that Conte actually wants and thus will actually play, and it seems that back-up may come in the awkward but occasionally effective shape of Andy Carroll. We're actually convinced it is a good idea. Ish. Morata probably thinks it's a good idea too as he might actually get a day off.
Currently trying to get my head around the mere concept of Andy Carroll being summoned from the Chelsea bench as they look for that all-important away goal at the Nou Camp.
— Adam Hurrey (@FootballCliches) January 15, 2018
Swansea City desperately need creativity
In Tammy Abraham, Jordan Ayew and Wilfred Bony, Swansea do not have anything close to a stellar front line, but they do – in theory at least – have more goal threat than 14 goals in 23 games would suggest. The problem comes in chance creation, with the Swans taking just 8.5 shots per game, comfortably the lowest in the division. That's what happens when you sell Gylfi Sigurdsson and his 13 Premier League assists. This season their assist-leader is distinctly average midfielder Tom Carroll on three.
The problem is that Swansea have a whole glut of distinctly average midfielders and not one who looks likely to create the chances to drag Swansea out of their current mess. Instead of a fruitless pursuit for Kevin Gameiro, Swansea might be better advised to take advantage of Norwich's cash-flow problems and chuck some money at them for James Maddison. Or anybody else who can take a decent free-kick.

This item is filed under these categories: Public Reprimands Insecurity Insults Condescending Treatment
Having a broad vocabulary is definite strength in many ways, as it can help an individual think more precisely, communicate more effectively, and even sense a higher degree of self-confidence. However, simply filling one's head with a batch of impressive words and then spewing them out to impress or intimidate others typically expresses little more than personal insecurity.
You are not going to change your co-worker's personality, but you can still have an impact on his behavior. You and your associates should let him know that you appreciate his vocabulary, but you do not appreciate the public or private vocabulary lessons. Make sure that he understands that you regard this treatment as insulting and degrading.
Perhaps he will get the message and stop playing these word games with you. If he continues, then you and your associates should have a few words with your manager about this invidious situation.

I just went online to register for the 2011 NY Marathon and had to lift my jaw from the floor once I saw the registration fee. It's a whopping $196 to run this race. Plus and $11 application fee. No doubt that this is a premier race and frankly, one of my favorites, but over $200 bucks just to pin on the number is crazy!! Add on airfare from the West Coast, hotel for 2 or more nights, food, transportation (then double it because NY is fun with a buddy or spouse) and we are talking big bucks.
I'd love to see races come back down to reasonable ranges. I'm not against races making money but let's be reasonable folks!
Now go run!

Do video games lead to violence?May 15, 2008
Posted by mmarvs in : Debates

You have probably read about the release of the new version of the video game Grand Theft Auto and the huge controversy it has caused because of the extremely violent behaviour the characters show.
Have a look at this interesting post in Carmen López's Blog, Bloggin' Away, and write a comment with your opinion.

I've already listen to people talking about this video game at the news. There were some interviews with different people who had already played with it. They were so thrilled and enthusiastic with this new video game. I remember that the thing that impresses me the most was a boy of, more or less, 30 saying that this kind of games were very good because they let you do things that you would like to but you couldn't because they are forbidden.
The question that I made myself then was: are video games making people more and more violent or there has always been such a violent people?
I don't know but I'd never let my child play with one of these video games just in case. Even when a friend of mine has it (the game) and he is a really nice person. I've tried him to explain me why he likes "to do" such horrible things (stealing cars or whatever, killing people…) but he says that he understands the game only as a game….I don't know because I've never tried to play with it and I don't want to.
- 2. Víctor Súarez González 5ºG - 15 May 2008
In my opinion video games can influence in people, but not in such way, there are more reasons that must influence a person to kill someone. Most of people separate video games from real life, so it isn't only video game industry's fault.
It's true there are some video games very hard, and I think it's correct some video games were banned to children and teenagers. For example there's one about "bullying" in a school, in that case it has to be banned for all people, because it's a real problem in the schools.
- 3. Manuel Menendez - 15 May 2008
I agree. Violent video games can lead to violent behaviour, particularly in children and teenagers. These videogames are supposed to be prohibited for young people, but all we know that at the end it is impossible to avoid teenagers accessing to almost all videogames.
I imagine adult people use these games as a way to release their stress and burn energy. The problem is that – even without realizing – you associate the villains to some kind of people (policemen in this particular case) and this can lead to aggressive feelings focused on that people.
Today violence is present in many entertainments such as movies, video games, books and even music (funk and rap music specially). Having into account the huge number of copies sold every year it seems clear people like this kind of entertainment and one has to be psychologically balanced to not be influenced toward a violent behaviour.
- 4. EstefaniaAF - 15 May 2008
I don't think that violent video games can lead violent behabiour because it's the same than watching violent scenes in television and thousands of people watch it every day without killing anyone!! In fact, you have to sufffer some mental disease to be a murderer… perhaps in these cases the problem could be incresed by video games, but could be incresed for many other reasons too!
- 5. xil - 15 May 2008
This is a discussion that we had in Spain few years ago when a teenager murdered all his family with a sword. It was said that the mind of the boy had been influenced by a video game.
In my opinion this kind of 'real violence' can only be stimulated by video games when the mental health of players is not in a very good condition; but the role that these kind of 'games' are playing, is that they are contributing to create an really ugly world.
Our children are learning that there are things, violent things, which can be considered enjoyable.
I don't like a world where children feel well playing this kind of video games. It is not aesthetic enough.
- 6. Jorge Rodriguez - 15 May 2008
Recently, this has become a topic for debates you can see in the street or in the news. Some people think that fast-growing video games industry is developing more and more violent games with horrible consequences for teenagers (the vast majority of people who play this kind of video games are teenagers).
I'm a teenager, and I play these video games, and I can tell you that things aren't like that. Games can't change your personality, they can't lead you to kill someone, even though you play for the whole day without eating or sleeping. When some people talk about someone who killed X because of playing a lot, they are lying. The murderer did that because he already had a mistake in his brain or whatever. You can't feel the character so deeply that it makes you kill someone just to be like him.
If you don't believe me just think about violent films. Does a person change overnight because of watching them many times? I haven't tried because I don't like them but I don't think so. Of course I'm not 100 percent sure.
Another argument I have to defend my ideas is that if this theory of leading to violence was true, everybody who played violent video games would be mad. Fortunately there are only a few cases of big personality changes.
However, it's soon to know their negative effects, this industry is a baby. Maybe because of that we should do something before it's too late: create groups of experts who can analyse well this problem, not allowing children to use them… but the biggest responsibility is parents' one. They must control their sons, and also their daughters when playing violent games, and give them a proper education.
- 7. Sara García Ruisánchez - 15 May 2008
Nowadays the question of videogames is a really controversial one,I remenber that some years ago a law was passed in relation to this theme and according to it all video games should be tested in some way and they were labelled depending on their content.Now reading this article I wonder if this law is observed.I think that teenagers have easy access to these videogames that are supossed to be for adults.
- 8. Beatriz Fernández López - 15 May 2008
In my opinion, the issue is that video games, are played by children and teenagers, who are easily influence by all what they see.
It would be better if they could play with games which transmit them good values.
Apart from that, I think that people who commit a violent act or a crime, have a mental illness caused by social or affective problems, or because they properly have a mental disease. In these cases, is likely that they don´t need to use video games as inspiration.
- 9. Warlock - 15 May 2008
As I suggest in my motion for debate related with the Heavy Metal music, if someone likes playing with this type of videogames this is not a reason to kill. You can find only some criminals who were induced by these games, but we shouldn't ban them only for two crazy guys. It happened before with the role games. Some people rarely take them seriously, think that was a character of the game and begin to kill people. What we have to avoid is to take it as an excuse to ban them. Drugs and weapons are more dangerous than all this.
The thing is that this game doesn't agree with the conscious of the politics, so they are an easy target for them. You can usually find people talking in a bad way about these games when they are talking with their friends because this is a well-accepted attitude in our society. "Violence is the cancer of our society". However, everybody knows that arms and sex are essentials to maintain the international market and our society too, so think that these games should be banned is a very hypocrite attitude that only damages all these innocent gamers who love playing videogames in a funny way.
- 10. Popi - 15 May 2008
From my point of view those teenagers who appeal this kind of videogames, feel like they have more power and more strength in the society. This could be the reason why they spend so many hours in front of the computer. I mean, it is as if they had their own world, and this is the only way for them to control it.
- 11. Àgueda Fdez - 15 May 2008
These kind of games just drive me mad.I can't put up with them!
I can't see why people enjoy violence,even if it is fiction.
I unfortunately know quite a lot of guys who where looking forward to this game.My brother has a PS2 at home so I've tried playing sometimes but it really stresses me out.I remember "San Andreas",which was a sexist and homofobic game.
Despite the fact that I loathe these games I have to say that their influence on teenagers' behaviour is not so big as people think.Of course,they encourage teenagers to be violent and feel powerful,but it's just a game.Loads of people enjoy playing "San Andreas",however they're not all ill-minded
- 12. Sara Gutiérrez Alonso - 15 May 2008
This is a question I have asked myself too many times and I don't know what to think about it. On the one hand I think a videogame can never make someone to kill; if you are a bit mad, obviously it can, but if you are not it isn't any reason for changing your behaviour because you have seen some violent images. However, the thing changes if the person who is playing the videogame is a child. Children's personality is not very strong and it can be influenced by many things, so the children won't kill anyone the next day but I think he/she may have a violent behaviour in the future.
- 13. Beatriz Díaz Fernández - 15 May 2008
The debate about violence in videogames have always caused controversy. Particularly with the cases of teenagers who kill someone, because society tend to blame videogames, heavy metal music bands, films, violent cartoons and all excuses you may imagine. It's true that this kind of things may influence teenagers a lot, but thet may not too. And there lots of things in this wolrd that can incitate teens to do bad things, but, are we going to do away with all of them? Are we able to do that? It's impossible, I mean, we should teach teenagers that videogames are just that, videogames. We should educate them with values, so that they don't end up doing any insanity.
Less prohibitions and more education. That's what I think.

Firs of all, I must say that I speak from the experience because I have this video game which has made a huge fortune in the first week of been out in the shops. I admit that it is a violent game, because the game is based on murder, drugs, cars, bands, etcetera. But, in my opinion, everybody with a 'normal' mind can distinguish between games and real life. Of course, there is mad people all over the world, but I consider that video games don't influence common people into crime and vandalism. In fact, this kind of games may help people to know what is happening in the streets and to be aware of the dangers. Millions of people have this game, or similar ones, and they don't go killing people in the streets, so I think this is the main clue. Control? This video game is not recommended for people under 18 but you can't prevent kids form buying it because they are free to do it. As far as I'm concerned watching violent action films would be the same as playing video games so if video games are not appropriate to play with, films should be banned as well. As you all agree this cannot be done.
- 15. Mr.Excusas - 15 May 2008
Well I think that this problem will be on everyone's mind for many years, because videogames are reaching an incredible popularity. Wherever you go someone is talking about PS3, Wii or Pro Evolution Soccer so it is absolutely impossible not to comment on it.
- 16. Pollock - 15 May 2008
No, I don't think so. I must admit that nowadays there is too much violence at video games, cartoons and movies. And sometimes it can be hard for a teenager's mind separates reality and fiction. I agree with the idea of having a "parental advisory" or a age censorship. But, from my point of view, videogames industry shouldn't be accused of that kind of crimes.
Do you remember a similar case, some years ago, about two teenagers (players of Role-games) that killed a man because they thought they were playing a real match? I don't think role-plays could inspire people to commit crimes. I used to play role-games when I was a teenager; my parents knew that, of course, but they weren't afraid because a role-play allows young people to develop their creativity, their communication skills, their ability to work in teams or their capacity or taking decisions (thinking first about the pros and cons, which, I suppose, is something very useful for a future life as an adult).
If people have a criminal mind, it's not because they've found those ideas from role-plays, video games or films. The problem is inside the person, and what it has to be asked is something as, for example, "hat was wrong with his/her education or family…?
- 17. Mofli - 15 May 2008
In my opinion videogames haven't got the same influence on all the people. For instance, I have a cousin who loves this kind of videogames. He's a child and he prefers playing along with the computer than playing with other children. Sometimes, when I tried to play with him I feel frustrated because he doesn't understand how to play without kicking and fighting. Obviously, he doesn't kill anyone, but I think he's a little bit aggressive, more than other children, I think.
I have never liked this kind of games, because they make me feel stressed out, so my opinion is a negative opinion. I don't say that all the people who play violent videogames are violent, but from my point of view, there are people whose mind is weak, and they aren't able to distinguish between good and bad behaviour.
- 18. Verónica Díaz Suárez (5ºH) - 15 May 2008
First of all, I must say that I don't like the videogames. I think that they are a waste of time. Well, apart from that they are the root of the violence, for example, in the United States there are a lot of crimes related with that sort of videogames. And yes, they can train someone to kill, especially if someone has a strange behaviour or hates some kind of people. They can be the trigger of a problematic way of thinking.
I'm sorry but I don't agree with Pollock because of the case of the two teenagers (players of Role-games) that killed a man because they thought they were playing a real match. If they hadn't played with it, they hadn't killed a man. The videogame was the trigger for their behaviour.
On the other hand, the videogames industry should be careful about the topics they choose for their games in order not to give too much mistaken ideas and behaviours. For example, in this videogame, what does it teach us: how to steal a car and then, killing police officers? I'm sorry but in our life there are more interesting things to do than waste your time with that. If you want to develop your way of life as a person, try to invest time on reading, listening music, helping homeless people, etc…
Finally, videogames have to have a stronger censorship, children are children and adults are adults; so the law has to be more efficient in order to protect children. And parents shouldn't allow them to buy them if they don't want to have problems in their behaviours.
- 19. Paddy - 15 May 2008
I don´t like video games. I prefer reading an interesting book to playing with one of them.
This is the first time I´ve seen this kind of video game. Not only does it show violence, but it also foments hate and rejection of the law.
The feelings of hate grow stronger every day: racism, prejuice,…
What kind of people have made this viedo game? Are they proud of it? Haven´t they got any children? Do they let their children play with it?
Children have to learn what´s wrong and what´s right. Teachers and parents try to make them understand it as better as possible.
Is our responsability to protect boys and girls from this kind of "toys".
- 20. GOOSE - 15 May 2008
I'm living the same situation than Mofli. My cousin is 10 and, as hers, he loves videogames and seems more loner than other kids.
But I don't think it is only videogames fault. Nowadays violence is everywhere, you can see it in the tv news and films. Of course children are the most easily influenced but, as the films, the videogames have a suitable age, and it is children parents' responsibility if children play with them or not.
In my opinion, videogames don't induce violence, as long as they are played by appropriate users. But, with television, they contribute to see violence as something ordinary, something that all of us are accustomed to.
- 21. Chiquilla - 17 May 2008
When I was a child, most of the videogames I played with were starred by Sonic and Mario Bross, remember them? They were "good people" who didn't kill anybody (perhaps some alien) for getting their objectives (save a princess and things like that). When I played "police and thieves" with my friends, and it was my turn to represent the thief's role, I was aware of the fact that I was not the good one, I was going to be captured (at least police should try to do it), as my behavior wasn't the best one/ or the one supposed to be.
So, what has happened in these last few years? Nowadays the main character of many videogames is someone who uses violence to get their objective, which is normally something related with violence, for instance be the one who was killed more people in the fewest time or getting more guns to kill more people.
At least in Spain, and I suppose than in other countries too, no one wants to be accused of having brought their children up in the wrongly way. That's the reason why videogames companies are always being blamed.
I don't think it's video games' fault; in fact, I do understand, those companies. If that product is the best seller why on earth are them going to abandon such a successful product? It would be nonsense.
From my point of view, the fact that leads more to violence is parents who buy those products to their children. Parents, who instead of explaining their children that it's only a game and that those behaviors are not permitted, start laughing when they hear their children saying they're the best killer in the world.
- 22. rantamplán - 18 May 2008
I don´t think that this kind of games are the only ones responsible for violent behaviour among young people. In my opinion, the aggressive behaviour of a person can be the result of a mixture of factors: biological or physical, emotional, educational, family environment, their own experiences all their life long etc. It´s true that there are people more "predisposed" to this sort of games. I´d say that people who are already aggressive tend to choose this kind of entertainment as a way to "release" their aggressiveness (like a therapy) but I also think that only an adult can distinguishes between fiction and reality perfectly.
As regards Xil says about children who learn to enjoy with violent things I´d say that this idea is not new; 30 years ago boys already played with guns and swords, they fought among them and made horrible experiments with insects and little animals. By nature, boys are more aggressive than girls and, to my mind, it´s good that they release their aggressiveness by playing.
And finally, I´d like to say that there have always been people who have confused reality and fiction, even when videogames didn´t exist (how many children died when they tried to fly after watching "Superman"?). So, as Bob Dylan sang: "Times are changing" and as a result of this it also has changed the way people interact with the environment; but, although apparently the world is different in essence people haven´t changed as much as we think
- 23. Sugar - 18 May 2008
The debate about media violence effects would be over but by the end of this decade they had become a preferred childhood leisure activity, and adults responded with concern about the possible effects of the games on children. They have been the subject of debate and censorship, due to the violence for example. I think that educational video games can be excellent teaching tools for motivational and learning process reasons. But, it also may make violent video games even more hazardous than violent television or cinema. In my opinion the problem is that there is a new generation of ultra violent video games beginning in the early 1990s and continuing to the present with a large amount of children and youths actively participating in entertainment violence. However, I agree with some experts who said that violent video games affect only a small fraction of players.
- 24. palot - 18 May 2008
This is a very common debate in our days but in my opinion it should not be as common as it is. I think that the people that do things to imitate the characters of the videogames are crazy people, I have played this type of videogames and I have never thought about doing things as kill people. The problem of these games is that you have to difference the reality and the fiction.
- 25. joey hendrix - 29 September 2008
i have this game and it is called gta4 but if you are sick enough

Roses are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink is a fun book to use this week.
We practice our comprehension strategies and interactive writing by:
Here is another book that is too cute for this week!
It was in the Scholastic See Saw book order, so it is included in our Listen Up! Listening Station units for February.
We always had a Valentine's Day party on the last day of the week. This was a fun game we played. The students used suction to move the conversation hearts to a bucket. It was hilarious!

Truth, The Good, The Bad, and The Louder The Better
2020 word – TRUTH
Truth has always been important to me. All my life, I have seen through the lies more than I wanted. I know it is part of being a discerner and feeler, but sometimes it's tiring. When it feels like betrayal, like a kick in the gut, it's Truth trying to get my attention.
In my late 20s, after we came out of a cult that had twisted scripture to fit the twisted agenda of a twisted leadership, Truth became the essential thing in my life. I packed up Holy Spirit and all his related items, all his passion and compassion, moving and leading, set it on a high shelf and walked away. I decided I would learn the word of God so well no one could ever use it to deceive me again.
For the next 20 years, my faith became an exercise of word retention rather than a relationship with the Living Word. I read the scriptures as law that drained all the color and depth out of my faith-and life. Everything became black and white. Do this not that. Walk the tightrope, don't lose balance, and you might be ok.
I read God's love letter as a rule book.
A manual rather than a dream journal.
A formula to master rather than a relationship to grow in.
Then one day….
Holy Spirit blasted into my life, reintroduced himself, and took me on a journey that changed everything. Suddenly, all those verses I had read with a sharp outline and edge, became a sketch that the Spirit began filling it in with dazzling color. The scripture stored in my head melted into my heart and became the foundation for all that God was building in me.
When dry words get drenched with Living Water beautiful things begin to grow.
Don't misunderstand, I believe the word of God changes lives like nothing else can. However, it is the Living Word who sparks life into dead places when his Spirit blows across the written word. That is why we can read past a scripture for years, but then one day, it grabs us and won't let go.
It's his breath stirring up Truth.
It is a beautiful dance of Father, Son, and Spirit
that pulls us into the movement of life transformation.
Truth walked into my soul and lit it on fire. I've been burning ever since.
Unfortunately, there are two sides to the Truth coin.
One side increases sensitivity to the Spirit of Truth: I see colors and hues, exceptions and allowances.
The other points out lies and half truths: I hear fear in the judgement, powerlessness in the hate.
I have learned to test and weigh, look again at what I question, study the angles. Talk to Jesus about it.
"Never trade opinion for Truth because
God often rewrites our opinion when Truth penetrates our heart."
My natural inclination is to keep my opinions to myself unless asked. I'm aware some people don't care. However, if I remain silent, I partner with the lies. If I say nothing, it's the same as agreeing with them. I've tried for years to tell myself it doesn't matter, but it does.
So… this year, I will not let those things fester or grow. I will speak up when I see or hear lies being spread.* Especially about those whom I love and respect.
Imagine how different our world would be if we stop spreading the less-than true.
What if we just paused a minute. Might there be another side, another layer? Imagine how much miscommunication and division could be avoided if we took the time to check the story we're spreading. My dad used to tell me all the time, "Consider the source. That will tell you a lot."
You know, not everything on a meme is true. Not everything "published" is fact or accurate.
Why not spread Truth?
The Prince of Peace never rejoices in blame, punishment, or division. So how can I claim to serve him and let those things continue to multiply and spread?
Truth can light a fire or water a dry land.
It can ignite a fire or put one out.
Truth can yank open the blinds in a dark room,
and it can lower the curtain on a twisted agenda.
It penetrates and soothes, warms and melts,
germinates, and obliterates.
Truth always stands firm, forever reigns supreme,
still rings out over the lies when we give it voice.
Truth diffuses offense, calms anger, and silences lies.
It dampens drama, reduces rhetoric, and calms the chaos.
We all deserve the Truth.
We all deserve peace.
So here we go: Angie's Year of Truth Telling has begun.
Jesus help us all.
Download a free printable Truth here.
*Certain things don't matter, don't have eternal weight, don't change the atmosphere or anyone's attitude. But many things, most things do. When I hear or see this, I will speak up.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: First (as in original) (01/10/05)
- TITLE: The First Beginnings | Previous Challenge Entry
By Carol Adams
It all happened some 2000 years ago, in a lovely garden tended by the first man. The first man
became a Master Gardener and a Shepherd to the many animals that he named. God saw he was
diligent in his work, and all the animals and birds had mates, but he did not. It was God's
first plan of divine romance and He took Adam's rib to make his counterpart. She was
the first, the beginning. She was the most beautiful creature that Adam had ever seen. Adam and Eve were first enthralled with their beauty, and then as they walked and talked, they became as one. The first marriage.
Adam was the first to be told that they could eat of anything in the Garden, except for the tree
of good and evil and they were not to eat of it. Eve not being in this world very long had the
first encounter with the serpent tempting her to eat of its fruit and telling her she would be like God and she would not die if she ate. She was the first to believe the lie he told. She was the first to eat, and the first to share it with her husband who was by her side. They ate together and immediately they were the first to recognize that something was wrong. They saw each other differently. They were first to feel shame.
Then all of a sudden, they heard God walking in the Garden. What were they to do? Being no
longer pure and innocent, they ran and hid and covered themselves with leaves to hide their shame. The Garden was intensely quiet. God did not hear Adam and Eve talking or laughing
as they explored this vast utopia. God then calls out to them, and Adam told God that they were
hiding because they saw they were naked. "How do you know you are naked?," God said. Because we ate of the fruit you told us not to.
The firsts of blame descend upon Adam and Eve. "If you wouldn't have given me this woman,
I never would have ate of the tree!" Then the Lord asks Eve, "What is this you have done?" Then the woman gives her first account that the serpent deceived her. This was the condemnation upon the serpent. The first time God cursed anything. Always before everything He created was good.
Now he cursed the serpent and took his legs out from under him and made him to crawl on his belly and he would always be ugly and man would seek to kill him, and he would seek to strike the heel. They would always be at war with each other.
The first consequences of sin. She was the first to know pain in childbearing. Adam was the first to be cast out of the Garden and eke out a living among thorns and thistles. He was the first to know sweat on the brow.
God was so gracious to the sinning pair. He could no longer look at them in their sin, so the
first animal was killed and the first sacrifice of sin garment was placed on them as their clothing.
A sacrificial lamb was killed to pay the price for their sin.
First, joy and excitement in the Garden. First disobedience to the Words of God, First recognition
of what their disobedience brought, and first consequences of sin to them and the serpent. First real pains in childbearing and in labor, and the first to be cast out of the Garden.
Not so many months and years pass that when we see yet another first. The first murder within the family. Cain had the first option to do right, but because of his anger, he chose wrongly [Genesis 4:6-8 NAS]. And again, God punishes by telling him he would be a wanderer and that the
ground will not yield the best fruit any longer.
Adam and Eve's first sin was against God. Cain's first sin was against God and man. Cain responds to the punishment and God responds to Cain by putting a sign on him that no one would slay him. God is always merciful.
First beginnings have devastating consequences and ends without the Lord in them.

Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion Andre 'SOG' Ward (31-0, 15 KOs) is currently hard at work training for his rematch with former Unified Light Heavyweight World Champion Sergey 'Krusher' Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 KOs). One of the biggest fights in boxing, the eagerly anticipated bout will take place Saturday, June 17 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The championship event, presented by Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.
"I didn't have to take this fight," Ward said in preparation for this fight. "This fight is for you, the fans. This fight is for the boxing community, because this is the fight everybody clamored about. At the end of the day, where I come from, it's about showing up. It's not about all that talking. It sells tickets, it sells Pay-Per-Views and we get a couple of headlines. But if you watch my career, we don't say anything we just go get it done. June 17 is going to be no different. Reality check."
"You've got a lot of lies coming from [the Kovalev] side. A lot of old school tactics. It's 2017 man. All that old school stuff that his side is trying to do, it's not going to work. At the end of the day, we've got a date. They're selling fear, we're not buying it. At the end of the day, he's got to see me June 17. I don't care what he says, I don't care where you're from, I don't care how you came up, it doesn't matter bro. He's going to have to see me June 17, it's that simple.
Ward vs. Kovalev 2: "The Rematch," a 12-round mega-fight for the WBO/IBF/WBA Light Heavyweight World Championships, is presented by Roc Nation Sports, Main Events, Andre Ward Promotions, Krusher Promotions and Corona Extra, sponsored by Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Jetlux, Life10 Water, Zappos and Powered by Monster.

Program duration: 12/03/2018 - 31/08/2020
ChemSM-HUB: Chemical Safety Management Training Hub for Chemicals Users
Prolepsis is a partner in a new European project titled "Chemical Safety Management Training Hub for Chemicals Users" - ChemSM-HUB.
ChemSM-HUB is a 3-year project (01/09/2017 - 31/08/2020), funded by the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Union, which aims to develop comprehensive training packages on Chemical Safety Management (CSM) for the following target groups:
Downstream users (DU) and distributors (D) of chemicals involved in Chemical Safety Management activities (employees that have very limited or no knowledge in chemical safety and REACH and CLP regulations).
DU is anyone established within the Community, other than the manufacturer or the importer, who uses a substance, either on their own or in combination, in the course of industrial or professional activities and D is anyone, established within the Community, including a retailer, who only stores and places a substance, on its own or in a mixture, on the market for third parties.
- OSH specialists among downstream users (DU) and distributors (D) of chemicals
Since 2006, EU legislation on chemicals has undergone crucial changes due to the introduction of regulations for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) aiming at the better protection of human health and environment. While awareness of these new legal obligations in leading chemical companies seems to be satisfying, there is still a strong need to improve the level of relevant competences and skills among smaller actors and actors with less chemical knowledge in the supply chains. Downstream users (DU) and distributors (D) of chemicals are present in every branch of industry. Free movement of goods (including chemicals) across Europe forces them to fulfill the EU legal standards. Nevertheless, funds for Chemical Safety Management (CSM) trainings are lacking and the availability of non-commercial courses is insufficient.
The evaluation of REACH and Chemicals Legislation (CLP) implementation led to the conclusion that people responsible for chemical safety among DU and also D are insufficiently trained and often lack the knowledge and understanding of the EU legislation in this field. Relatively lower awareness and insufficient legal and educational support has been found, especially in regards to skills for classifying chemical mixtures and assessing the exposure in the working environment.
The main aim of the project is to design and deliver innovative vocational training on the elements of CSM, integrated with an e-learning hub and mobile application, dedicated mainly to employees responsible for CSM among downstream users and to distributors of chemicals. The training will help to better understand and fulfil legal duties. In order to ensure high quality of the training, all materials and tools will be progressively developed, evaluated and peer-reviewed by the project consortium (5 organizations from 4 countries). To ensure strong cooperation between the world of education and the working world, the training materials and used tools will be assessed based on the feedback from target groups representing DU and D. This exchange of knowledge between education/training institutions and labour market will enable the adaption of the training package to the real needs of the enterprises.

In response to Gov Perdue's "borrowing" from various state funds to provide money for tax refunds, Republican leadership in the House and Senate announced they are planning to attempt to override Perdue's veto of SB 13.
According to a press release issued by both the offices of Thom Tillis (House Speaker) and Phil Berger (President Pro Tem of the Senate):
Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) and Speaker of the House Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) today announced the Senate and House will attempt to override the governor's veto of SB 13, the Balanced Budget Act of 2011, which would give her the authority she requested to cut $400 million in the current fiscal year and target another $400 million in immediate savings. The Senate plans to vote on an override later this afternoon.
Included in their statements is the assertion that Perdue's temporary grab of about $100 million from the state's Employment Security Commission reserve fund is unconstitutional. Backing up their claim is a letter from Gerry Cohen, the director of the non-partisan Legislative Drafting agency of the General Assembly. According to Cohen
It is clear to me that Article V, Section 5 of the North Carolina Constitution clearly forbids applying those funds to any other purpose, including supporting General Fund appropriations. Whether the account for the Employment Security Commission Reserve Fund has had its funds replaced by the promise to repay is in my opinion irrelevant, the monies may not be expended for any purpose other than that provided by law.
Berger and Tillis claim that if SB 13 becomes law, the current cash flow problem of trying to find sufficient money for state tax refunds will be solved.
No specific news yet on a timetable or other plans for an attempted override of HB 2.

In case you were wondering, this post won't solely be about books. I've been doing some thinking today. Driving to Jackson (roughly 30 min away) and while I was eating lunch, I did lots of thinking. I thought about why I started this blog, I thought about everyday things, I thought about reading, and…I thought about reality.
So, why did I start this blog? To tell you the truth, I don't know if I have an exact answer for you. Maybe I wanted to just jump on the bandwagon of blogging…nope, I've blogged before, so that couldn't be it. I think I started this blog for a few reasons, actually. I enjoy being on the computer and I enjoy books. How could I bring those together? Blogging, of course! I also had, for whatever reason, browsed around different blogs one day because I had the inkling to start one again. I had tried one about my life in general…boring. I'd tried one about religion, but that seems to reach only a particular audience, so that was out (even though a I do write a blog for my Sunday school class). Then I cam across a blog about books. I'm an English teacher and book lover, so this appealed to me. And it hit me, I can blog about books! Books can connect people who are one mile apart to those who are thousands of miles apart. Book blogging it was!
I also thought about every day things, too, but that abruptly turned into thinking about reality. I'm a teacher. Teaching, no matter what the field, is a very real job. If you ever need a good reality check for your life and for the lives of others, including those of your immediate family, you should teach. I have been enlightened to things that I had never thought of since I began teaching. I have also been brought to a reality about myself many times as a teacher. Teaching makes you appreciate small things in life, I think. You learn to love more than you loved before as your heart opens up to care for people you only see for an hour or a few hours a day. I spent many nights worrying about my students; I spent many nights worrying about my family; and I spent many nights worrying about myself, about whether or not this was a job that I was good at doing.
That's a lot to think about in a 30 minute drive and a lunch that lasted about 30 minutes, isn't it? But that is what I thought about. Blogging and reality.
So, here is my question to you….I have come to the conclusion that blogging & books are my escape from reality sometimes, but some people would say that books are simply another form of reality. What do you think? Do you escape from reality in your own way? Do you want to even admit that you do? What is your reality, and is it truly real?

Double Fine Kickstarter Reaches Target In Six Days
Double Fine Kickstarter Reaches Target In Six Days
Massive Chalice raises $736,126 and is still going strong.
Tim Schafer's Double Fine launched a Kickstarter for its turn-based strategy title Massive Chalice back on 30th May, within one day it raised half its ask, and within six days it reached and surpassed its $725K target. The funding total stands at $736,306 at time of writing, and there are still 23 days to go. Stretch goals ahoy! When the Kickstarter launched, Double Fine promised that the game would grow depending on the amount of funding received, but was coy about the specifics. "Ongoing conversations with the community" is Double Fine's stretch goal mantra; no doubt those conversations will start any time now.
Massive Chalice features you, as an immortal ruler over your domain, strategically manipulating royal marriages and kingdom-running schemes behind the scenes, while at the same time sending out your heroes to do battle against the foe. Your ultimate goal is to reunite the kingdom, eliminate the demonic threat, and reforge the Massive Chalice subtly hinted at in the game's title. You might be immortal, but nobody else is, so you'll need to replace your heroes as they grow old and die. A golden retirement plan - aka begat, begat, begat - is your best bet at keeping an army of heroes on the battlefield. Content is randomized, and that includes the heroes you get at the start; "the details of every game will change based on your decisions and the whims of fate," according to its Kickstarter pitch. Schafer's currently exploring Yosemite, so if someone should notice him wandering the wilderness would you let him know his Kickstarter got funded, please?
If this sounds like the kind of thing that'd appeal, head over to Double Fine's Kickstarter page to learn more. That Massive Chalice would hit its goal was never in doubt, but to hit it so soon is pretty impressive. The only question now is, how far beyond that goal will it go? There's still three weeks plus to run, and folks love 'em some Double Fine goodness. We shall see!
i think that is one of the most awesome pitch vids i have ever seen o.O
Agreed, that has to be one of the coolest places to work. I threw in $50 when it was at 99%, did I do it? Probably not. I don't see this getting Broken Age levels of success, the whole premise is a bit more esoteric than "Point and click adventure by maker of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango". It was before the great Kickstarter bombardment, too. How much money have people spent on pre-orders that they don't have yet so far?
Anyway, I'm excited as hell about this game. Every aspect of it sounds interesting, and obviously I trust the people in question. I try to tell everyone about it, if they weren't so polite I'd probably have heard a "shut up!" or two by now.
Call me when they make the update to Psychonauts generally available (it has a couple of bug fixes and improved gamepad support, not just achievements). Not everyone bought it off Steam, and if they can make a version for Linux they can make a generic patch available for Windows.
o.O wow that's something
lol the other news that came out at the same time: "Shadow of the Eternals Studio Cancels Kickstarter"...
Meh. Unless they can beat their previous record for raising funds or start a kickstarter for Iron Brigade 2 I don't find it that interesting.
I love Crusader Kings II but always wanted a bit more control over the tactical aspect of the game, I wanted to see how well my "made to order" generals* performed in ways other than numbers on a spreadsheet at the end of a battle.
This game offers the tactical combat I wanted to see.
* arranged marriage between two of my subjects both with "strong" and "quick" traits resulting in a low-born child with the same traits. I would raise him as my ward imparting my level 4 commander upbringing and encouraging him to be zealous, wrothful, diligent AND humble at the same time. When my character died and I took over as his eldest son he has a general in the wings with zero ambition to make a power play. Give the guy a county in the middle of no-where to secure his loyalty, marry him to some duke's or maybe one of your own female relatives (matrialnial too, he's low-born!) and you're ready to kick ass.
With all these people trying to imitate the success of the original Double Fine kickstarter with re-heated ideas pitched by formerly famous game designers it's nice to see Double Fine both pitching new ideas ans intentionally pushing their "Celebrity game designer" into the background.
If Double Fine ever did give into the temptation to do a Psychonaughts Kickstarter they would raise sooooooooo much money.
Well, they did mention in the pitch video that they don't have the rights to Iron Brigade anymore. On the other hand, Massive Chalice is a project by none other but the lead designer of IB. So there might be something interesting in it for you.
I think a hypothetical Psychonauts sequel is outside the Kickstarter possibilities. They got 3 million (or was it almost that? I don't remember) for Broken Age, and the production updates make it pretty clear that the amount is just about right for a small project without any fancy bells & whistles. A project the size of Psychonauts 2 would probably need something in the realm of $20 million. And does it really have a fanbase big enough for that? Even here on the Escapist the memory of the game had been pretty much non-existent before Yahtzee devoted one of the early ZP episodes to it. Cult favourites' fanbases tend to be really vocal, but when it comes to show of hands, they're rather small.

Reflections on New Year's Resolutions
As the New Year rolls in, I anticipate reflections on the past year, as well as, looking forward to the coming year with fresh hope of revived dreams and aspirations.
On the one hand, the optimist belief in attaining my dreams is exhilarating, but on the other hand, the realistic boundaries and blockages can leave me defeated and crushed in spirit.
As I begin to set a course for attaining my desires, the loyal forces of the opposition launch a counter attack with a list of "shoulds", hardships, and feelings of lack towards the worth of my dreams.
I usually do well on my list with sheer will power and determination until about the end of March when I am exhausted and resolve to accept the futility of my quest.
This past fall I began something new. In the past I have written "eye spy's" where I documented perceived progress and lists of gratitude which were indeed helpful reminders, but it was not enough to catapult me past the seemingly endless lists of responsibilities which were keeping me from my goal. My disheartening and overwhelming "To Do" lists are being replaced with "To Done" lists. As I write out all I accomplished in a day, I am amazed at what I see. It may be as simple as showering ALONE and having time to wash my hair and shave or reflective as comforting my teen who is overwhelmed by the stresses of high school life; sometimes it even includes a project I that has been nagging at the back of my head for a while. At its completion, I feel really good about myself.
I also began a practice of journal writing first thing in the morning. I believe this saved me this holiday season and reduced my stress level enormously. Many mornings, I would dump my To Do list on the page, not to look at it again, then release it allowing the priorities to rise to the top while the remainder fell from my consciousness.
Together, I cultivate positive, affirming beliefs in my head. By releasing my stress and feeding my feelings of self worth, I am energized and find time to do what I love and accomplish my goals.
I am off to fill in my dream journal for 2012 with a knowing that I Can.
Poll: Do you make New Year's resolutions?
