By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
I have a secret I have been keeping for years. And now I want to pass this sage piece of advice along to our readers.
If you plan on going to the landfill, go very early and keep your mouth shut about the fact you are going.
This secret isn't about any particular landfill, but about just the process of going there.
I learned very many years ago that going to the dump is a lot like going to Salt Lake; if you tell people you are going often they will say "Hey I ordered a wachamcolit from XMZ Supply last week and they have it now. Can you pick it up for me?"
Yep its that kind of thing but in reverse. If you tell people you are going to the landfill, any landfill, they will dig up all kinds of things to send with you.
I learned this many years ago just after I had a new house built in Riverton. One day I was hauling off a bunch of stuff from the construction of the house (I working part of the cost off with sweat equity) and one of my new neighbors came over and asked me if I could haul a few things away for him. Sure I said.
When I was done loading the truck at my house I went to his. He had 10 chunks of concrete each weighing about 120 lbs. We put those in my half ton pickup and the back bumper was almost dragging on the ground.
Another neighbor came by and saw us and asked if I would hook up his utility trailer that was also full of junk and haul it to the landfill. Wanting to be a "good" new neighbor to this man I said "Sure."
We pulled my truck over and hooked up this 16 foot trailer full of wood, broken up sheetrock and trees. And I mean trees, not saplings.
I asked if either of them could come help me unload and they both had "commitments."
As I went to pull away another neighbor stopped me and said "If you are going to the landfill I have some stuff that needs to go to the dump. Can you take it for me?"
What did I say? The chump that I was said yes. We then loaded on a bunch of rusty pipe and old chain link fencing. Halfway through loading it his wife called him in for lunch. I finished loading it and started to sneak out of the neighborhood, but aother neighbor flagged me down.
"Are you going to the landfill?" he asked.
I nodded my head up and down, despite the fact my brain was saying shake your head to the negative.
Soon I was backed into his back yard and helping him tear down an old shed that he had built many years before.
I had started loading my truck at 6#0 that morning. By the time I got out of there it was 2:30 in the afternoon.
"Hey," I said to the final neighbor. "How about coming with me to unload all this stuff?"
He said "Sure." But then he qualified it.
"I will meet you out there because I have to run to the the NAPA dealer to get a strater for my truck," he said.
I climbed 114th south going west very slowly as my 20 year old truck with a little six cylinder engine chugged along pulling much more weight than it probably wanted to. Finally I arrived at what was then the Trans-Jordan Landfill.
I started unloading all that stuff. It took me well over an hour and those 120 lb. blocks of concrete about did my what was then my 25 year old body in. I realized that by the time I was through three quarters of what was on my truck and on the trailer behind it was not mine. Of course now that it lay on the ground, it was no ones.
Oh and my neighbor who was going to come help? He showed up as I was driving out of the gate to go home.
"I got delayed," he said. "Did you get rid of all that stuff?"
Well DUH I thought. Look at the trailer and look at the truck. It is now empty.
And without a beat skipped he also said "If you go next week I have some concrete that needs to come out here too."
I pulled away.
That day is the day I came up with my philosophy of going to the landfill early and not telling anyone I was planning on going.
So if you have a twenty-something neighbor and you see him loading his truck up to go to the landfill, take advantage.
He will probably not say no.

The pact signed by Rogers called for United States withdrawal from South Vietnam, release of all prisoners of war, recognition of the right of the South Vietnamese people to determine their own future, and establishment of
an international peace-keeping force in South Vietnam.
Although the U.S. troops did withdraw, the war did not end until the North Vietnamese overran South Vietnam in 1975.

Sweet Sorghum Festival and Open House
Held Annually
Labor Day Monday in September
10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
We invite you to visit our sorghum mill at Brazos de Dios and watch as we make sweet sorghum syrup—from pressing the raw cane with our horse−powered mill to cooking the juice into rich, golden brown syrup. Sample our sorghum syrup on some freshly baked cornbread made from our own stoneground cornmeal!
• Horsedrawn Hayrides
• Outdoor Barbecue
• Craft Demonstrations
• Special Music at Noon
Over 70 years ago, sorghum syrup was a common sight on the dinner tables of rural Texas. Many farmers grew a small patch of sorghum in their fields. At harvest time, they brought their cane to a neighboring farm that had a mill, and the families worked together pressing cane and cooking syrup.
At Brazos de Dios, our annual sorghum harvest preserves this community tradition. We hand cut the 10− to 14−foot−tall canes and haul them from the various family farms to our sorghum mill. Here, we feed the raw cane through our 100−year−old horse−drawn press. After squeezing the cane, we allow the juice to settle 2−3 hours before channeling it downhill through underground pipes to the sorghum house where we cook it over a wood−fired furnace.
The green juice bubbles and boils its way through the channels of the hot, 12−foot−long copper pan. After the excess water evaporates, the juice reaches the end of the pan as a thick, sweet, golden brown syrup ready for bottling. Be sure to try a sample of this year's syrup at the sorghum mill or at our restored HOMESTEAD GRISTMILL!
No admission fee

Leaked photos have revealed the possible visual appearance of the new 30-metre-high memorial dedicated to the Nobel Prize-winning nun that is to be erected in central Skopje.
Photo by: Libertas
The photographs, said to be taken from a small model of the memorial, dedicated to the late nun, who was born in Skopje, were published by the Libertas news portal.
Macedonian authorities have not commented on the photographs.
Officials laid the grounds for the new memorial in January.
"No matter what we do, we can never do enough for Mother Teresa", Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said in his speech at the ceremony.
The statement addresses the fact that Skopje already has a several-metre-high bronze statue of the nun, as well as a recently opened government sponsored memorial house.
The cash is coming from the Indian billionaire Subrata Roy who has other business ventures in Macedonia. During his visit to the country he proposed that the memorial be called the "Statue of Humanity".
After the giant statue of Alexander the Great, erected in 2011, and another of his father, Philip, erected in May last year, Mother Teresa's statue will be the third giant monument to adorn the centre of Skopje as part of the mostly government-funded "Skopje 2014" revamp.
No details about the cost of the new statue have yet been revealed.

Candidates to replace Bud Selig
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig told everyone two years ago that he was definitely retiring after the 2014 season.And now the question everyone wants to know: Who's going to replace him? Possible candidates: Mark Attanasio, Milwaukee Brewers owner: He was Wendy Selig's handpicked choice to purchase the Brewers from the Selig family and is in constant contact with Bud Selig. Trusted by his peers, he's on five high-powered committees. It would be a little peculiar to have back-to-back former Brewers owners become commissioner, but if any owner takes over, it will be Attanasio. The biggest question would be if he's interested.

Ja Under-20s to kick WC qualifications into high gear
Jamaica's Jorginhio James comes under pressure from a Cuban player during the CFU Under-20 finals football match at Stadium East last year. - File
Marc Stamp, Star Writer
Jamaica's national Under-20 team will continue their preparation for the 2013 CONCACAF Championships when they face a select South Central Confederation side in a practice game at Brancourt in Clarendon today, starting at 4 p.m.
Luciano Gama, national Under-20 head coach, told Star Sports that preparations were already well under way.
"So far we are doing what is possible in preparation for the CONCACAF tourney next month. This tournament serves as the final qualifier for the World Cup later this year," Gama said.
Following a series of local practice games, the Jamaica team will travel early to Mexico for a two-week training camp ahead of the tournament that kicks off on February 18 and ends on March 3.
"We requested and were granted an early trip to Mexico to acclimatise the boys to the high altitude there. We will be engaging some national teams in practice games so that should be very good for the boys," Gama added.
Jamaica will leave for the two-week camp on February 5. They play the first game of the tournament against Puerto Rico on February 19 and then Panama four days later. Two teams from each of the four groups will qualify for the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Turkey this year.
The technical staff will announce its final squad after the practice games in Jamaica.
The current squad includes Nico Campbell, Rashaun Patterson, Alvas Powell, Oshane Jenkins, Kemo Wallace, Zhelano Barnes, Khareem Manning, Sean McFarlane, Hugh Evans, Paul Wilson, Omar Holness, Romario Jones, Andre Lewis, Jorginho James, Jason Wright, Mark Brown and Osdhane Boothe.

Dog walkers and families did a double take as a film crew shot scenes around the bandstand in Boultham Park on Sunday, October 21.
Vintage vehicles and extras in period costumes helped create a traditional British tea party scenario for the video to her song "Bus Stops".
Roxy, 22, who lives in St Peter's Avenue, and is a student adviser in Nottingham, said: "I live just around the corner from the park.
"The location was chosen because we just love the bandstand.
"We are hoping that the video will raise the profile of the park and the restoration that is being planned.
"It would be great to have some music events and festivals there in the future.
"It was a full day's filming and I was up at 5am.
"We had a bit of a slow start in the morning due to the fog which meant filming was a bit hectic but we got it done on time and went really well.
"From setting up the tent in the morning and throughout the day we had all the dog walkers and families interested in what we were doing."
Bus Stops was released in July and is available to download. Roxy wrote the song aged 17, and has developed it over the years.
"I would love to say I'm really rock 'n' roll but my music is pop and I have a really girlie voice," said Roxy.
Vehicles were loaned by local enthusiasts and La Vida Vintage, based in Monks Road, Lincoln, supplied the clothing.
Owner Rachel Taylor, 37, said her shop was recommended by a friend.
"We lent various bits of clothing, cake stands, tea pots, lampshades and wicker baskets," she said. "We were really pleased to support this."
The video should be available to view online in three or four weeks' time.

Price's American Legion baseball team has the week off, but only because Ceder City canceled it's game for July 10 in Price. The team, however, will take the down time in stride since the season has been very full with a total of 28 games thus far.
Since late May the team has been pounding it out across the region and although there have been some sour defeats, the team still hopes to be a reckoning force during the upcoming state tournament July 25 through August 4.
"The boy's arms are strong and they're playing well together," said coach Willie Ellington over the phone. "I don't really see a lot of weaknesses."
With the week being devoid of action, the team will be preparing for a game next week against Rangely Colorado on July 15, followed closely by the mini-state tournament in Vernal, July 17 through 18.
"I think we still have that competitive edge even this far into the season and we're excited. Our biggest strength is determination," said coach Ellington.
The upcoming mini-state tournament will see match-ups between Price, Roosevelt, Vernal and Ceder City, and while it is only a qualifier for the overall state tournament, coach Ellington knows it will be a good one.
"It's going to be a hot tournament and we've got a really good chance at coming out on top," said the coach.
Only the tournament winner will make it to state, however, as said before the coach believes that if the team can stay focused, they can win it, and regardless of the outcome he is proud at how far the team has come.
"I've seen big improvements on the team's character and confidence. Playing against some of these college teams (Northern Colorado and CEU) has really helped them to believe in themselves," said Ellington. In the past the team has struggled to stay focused during the fifth and sixth innings, but the coach hopes this will be overcome and team will preserver.
"Coaching is only 10 percent of the game. It really helps when you have kids with enthusiasm. It's been a good season."

Pakistan twin blasts toll at 57
The death toll in Friday's twin blasts that rocked a crowded market and a taxi stand in Parachinar, the capital of Kurram Agency and the largest city of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan, touched 57 on Saturday, reports said.
According to reports, 12 people, who were injured in the blasts, succumbed to their injuries on Saturday.
More than 100 others were injured in the blasts.
"Political Agent Riaz Mehsud said the death toll could rise because many people had suffered critical injuries. He said arrangements were being made to shift the critically injured to Peshawar and other cities," said Pakistan-based Dawn News.
"He said one of the blasts was carried out by a suicide bomber while the other might have been a planted one," the newspaper said.
The two blasts reportedly occurred within an interval of a few seconds about two hours before Iftar.
The first bomb blasted at the main chowk near a mosque, while the second explosion took place at a taxi stand on School Road.

By Eric Davidson, Lizzie Plaugic, Hannah Kolitz and Max Lefkowitz
Way back in January we compiled a list of the albums we were most excited to hear in 2014. Now that the year's halfway over, we've had some to to reassess that list, adding some new choices and swapping out others. Some of our original picks already dropped (Swans, Tweens), some just fell down a few notches on our interest radar (A$AP Rocky's instrumental joint) and others we're still waiting for (Kendrick, obviously). So here they are, in alphabetical order, 20 more albums that, after all these months, still have us waiting eagerly for their arrival.
Alt-J – This Is All Yours (Infectious Music)
Release date: September 22
Hey, lots of people liked Alt-J's first album, An Awesome Wave, including us. Their follow-up's first single samples a Miley Cyrus song that features fucking Nelly. That means even more people are going to like this album. It's simple math. – Lizzie Plaugic
Alvvays – S/T (Polyvinyl)
Release date: July 22
This Canadian bunch got Chad VanGaalen to make their swirly summer pop just swirly enough to allow some melancholy to waft out. Their lilting sound doesn't extend to the gym rat-like amount of touring they do, which has increased the demand for this album to land already. – Eric Davidson
Arca – TBD (Hippos In Tanks)
Release date: TBD
The Venezuelan producer Alejandro Ghersi is known mostly for lurking in the shadows of greats like Sir Yeezus himself, but last year's &&&&& mix put Arca's own icy, left-field electronics in the spotlight, and a new release under Hippos In Tanks will only make that spotlight brighter. – LP
Avi Buffalo – At Best Cuckold (Sub Pop)
Release date: September 9
The project of Sub Pop's sunny, sad, star boy Avi Zahner-Isenberg, Avi Buffalo is following up its pulse-dropping 2010 debut with a cheekily named LP that, even after only one single, is already dripping with infectious suburban apathy. – LP
BANKS – Goddess (Harvest Records)
Release date: September 9
After the release of 2013's London EP, Angeleno Jillian Banks, the rhapsodic singer-songwriter who goes by the moniker BANKS, saw her career launch in a manner that most up-and-comers could only attempt to match in their dreams. From having her song featured in a Victoria's Secret ad to opening on tour for the Weeknd, BANKS's music, which aches with a sense of beautiful vulnerability and implacable longing, has proven worthy of all the hype. – Hannah Kolitz
FKA Twigs – LP1 (Young Turks)
Release date: August 12
Tahliah Barnett is set to follow up EP1 and EP2 with LP1. What can we expect? Given what we've heard so far, it seems like more watery, ultimately smooth experimental pop muses are in store. I'm also particularly excited to see how long Barnett can ride the wave of this naming system. – LP
Grimes – TBD (4AD)
Release date: September 9?
In 2011, Grimes played a CMJ Music Marathon set in the tiny back room of Pianos. Now she's drawing hordes of synth-shakin' fans at Gov Ball. We're going to ask her to marry us. – LP
Hudson Mohawke/Lunice – TBA (Warp/LuckyMe)
Release date: TBA
A TNGHT hiatus means Hudson Mohawke and Lunice have some time to work on solo stuff, and that means a one-two punch of releases—HudMo's first since 2011's Satin Panthers EP, and Lunice's first since his One Hunned EP from the same year. The fact that their release schedule is still synched is just an added bonus. – LP
Interpol – El Pintor (Matador)
Release date: September 9
This band somehow holds a perpetual interest for a large segment of the indie world, and right when you think that'll wane, a new album announcement creeps up and ramps up that interest. This time the ramp is steeper, as word is this one will be a return to form after the odd turns of 2010's self-titled album. – ED
Kendrick Lamar – TBA (Top Dawg Entertainment)
Release date: TBA
2012's good kid m.a.a.d city is a very difficult album to follow. It's a near-flawless LP: lyrically intense, structured with a winding narrative (it's been likened to James Joyce's Ulysses); and culturally significant, employing a street-level view of a Compton usually shoved under the rug. But it's precisely because GKMC was so good that it's a safe bet whatever comes next will deliver. Plus, always-cool Kendrick says he's not even feeling any pressure. – LP

Written Answers - National Car Test
Wednesday, 21 September 2011
Dáil Éireann Debate
169. Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the current waiting time to access the national car test at each test centre nationwide. [25140/11]

Monki Bralette, H&M Boots, Nixon Watch, Quay Sunglasses, Poppy Lissiman Clutch
Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Palette in Dolce Vita, L'Oreal Mascara, Elizabeth and James Perfume, RMS Living Luminizer, Sephora X Nail Polish, Essie Nail Polish, Bite Beauty Lip Crayon, Nars Foundation
Just a compilation of some of my favorite things in the past couple months. The H&M boots were such a steal! Super comfortable and looks way more expensive than they actually are. I've been OBSESSED with the Poppy Lissiman Pizza Illuminati clutch. Dear Poppy sent me this as a gift for being runner up in her most recent Instagram contest and it's been with me since then.
The Anastasia Contour Kit. One word, YES. It really does live up to the hype. There's a reason why it's always sold out! It gives the most perfect and natural contour. The lip crayon from Bite Beauty has not left my lips since I got this last month. Amazing pigmentation and staying power even after a meal.

Hey guys! Thank you so much for those that are bearing with me still! I know I've been on quite a hiatus for a while, but I'm officially back! Expect more videos and blog content coming your way <3
In the meantime, remember to check out my in flight essentials video I made before my trip to Hong Kong!
I hope you all have an amazing holiday and Christmas with your loved ones

Acne Studios Dress, Chanel Bag, Topshop Boots
I'm typically not the biggest fan of pink. But this insanely simple pink wall just oozed cool. Okay. I get that it's literally just pink. But sometimes, you don't need all the excess glitz and glamour to make something stand out. Am I right?! I fell absolutely in LOVE with this shirt dress from Acne Studios during my trip to NYFW last month. I've always been obsessed with Acne Studios' aesthetic and this dress is just so perfect!
I know it's been a while since my last post, but it's been SO crazy the past month. I recently just moved to LA and it's been a real whirlwind! Two internships and 6 classes really take up a gal's time! I still want to explore different places in LA and hopefully I'll be able to real soon.
Do you guys have any suggestions? What are your fav spots in LA?

With a full day of being a tourist in Hong Kong, my friend and I found a cool street that ran through Central that was filled with fruit and vegetable stands. And obviously, we just had to nonchalantly do a photo shoot there.
Without trying to offend anyone, I want to say that I honestly feel that a lot of Hong Kong's culture has faded into a cultivation of a ton of different other country's cultures and subcultures. Advertisements are now mainly composed of Korean or Japanese celebrities. Stores and brands are being imported from the US, Europe, and South Korea. It's crazy how so much of Hong Kong has adapted to a foreign culture.
And on the same note, it was a real task trying to find really native Hong Kong places last minute. I'm sure there are a TON of cool and very Hong Kong kind of spots that I have yet to discover. I guess it's kind of nice that you really have to dig and find these gems in such a wild place.
Have y'all ever visited Hong Kong?
What are your thoughts?

American Apparel Dress, J. Crew Shirt, Chanel Bag, Sam Edelman Sandals
Can you imagine the thrill of doing a shoot in the middle of a busy street with huge trucks constantly about to run you over?
The struggles of getting a good shot right?
Probably the most awkward thing, besides being almost run over multiple times, is posing directly in front of business stalls. Half the time, the vendors are borderline about to shoo us away and the other half, their eyes full of amusement seeing me try to look natural and running away to avoid cars.
We shot this after grabbing a brief local HK-style brunch at the famous Australian Dairy Company. No, we did not go to a dairy farm to drink milk. And let me tell you. It was an experience. Never have a I actually been thrown looks when having a catch up sesh with a friend over some eggs, toast, and milk tea. I get there's a line and all, but at least let me eat in peace for more than 15 minutes. I swear we scarfed down our food, paid, and left within a grand total of 20 minutes. Real attractive image yeah?

With my recent trip to Seoul, Korea, I have fallen head over heels over the amazing culture and history of the country. This shoot was taken at the gorgeous Bukchon Hanok Village. I love the fact that when you're taking photos, every single person would actually stop and wait until you are finished. Faith in humanity restored? Duh. It's the little gestures that count sometimes.
The one thing about Seoul is that there are endless amounts of stairs and hills. No joke, being used to driving around all the time in California, I was absolutely exhausted every day after sight seeing and shopping. I am SO glad I brought sneakers and sandals to the trip. See? Overpacking is never a bad idea!
What places do you guys want to visit for holiday?

Can you believe that being a San Francisco native since birth that has long frequented the sunnier side of the bay in Palo Alto, I did not know of this part of the area? Part of Stanford University's campus, this hidden gem seems to have a bit of everything. Amazing architecture, beautiful floral grounds, and a gorgeous church that stands at end.
Have you guys been?

Everyone who has problematic skin, raise your hand!
I have the most complicated and high maintenance skin. Dehydrated, sensitive, and blemish-prone. There really is not middle, comfortably nice ground where my skin can just relax. It either as dry as the Sahara or as oily as fried chicken. I probably shouldn't have referred to my skin as fried food huh? But you get the picture. I travel a lot and it has REALLY affected my skin with environmental changes, humidity/dryness, lack of sleep, and stress.
Before I keep rambling, let me just get to the point. This mask is AMAZING. I have no idea what I have been doing before this. I bought this the other day hoping something out there would save my skin. My most recent skin condition (and you will notice that in my case it changes quite often) was oily, rough, and covered with an uncomfortable amount of acne/white heads. I popped this baby on every night for 3-4 nights straight and my skin has already improved SO much. Even after the first use, I noticed everything was starting to calm down and the roughness was almost gone.
It's not really an exfoliating mask, as they have one specifically for that here, but it does a really good job at pulling impurities out and sucking the unnecessary oils out. Can that sound any more gross? haha
This mask is by all mean not cheap, but take it as an investment! Think of all the facial trips you're saving!
A container can last anywhere between 8-10 mask treatments depending how think you layer it.
Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment – $69USD
Have you guys tried this mask before?
xo, Carmen

Let's be real here. At this point, who DOESN'T know about Warby Parker?
The brand that lets you buy a pair of rad specs for a good cause? Sign me up! I remember stopping by their SoHo showroom when I was in New York a few years ago, hoping to finally grab myself something, but for some darn reason, which probably ended up being my strangely shaped and incredibly large head, I wasn't able to find a good fitting pair. Now, fast forward to a few months ago, on a spontaneous trip down to L.A. I made SURE to stop by. First at the Standard Hotel in DTLA, then again at the Standard in Hollywood. FINALLY! I was able to get myself not one, but TWO pairs of glasses.
Does someone who wears contacts 90% of the time need two pairs of glasses? Probably not.
Enough with my ode to Warby Parker! As of today, WP has launched a new collection dubbed 'Beacon', in honor of the slither of time right before a sunset/sunrise. It's one of those blink and you'll miss it kind of things. This collection was inspired by amazing memories of rooftop sunrises, all-nighters with amazing music and friends, and everything of the like.
You know those nights. The ones where time just dissipates and becomes less of a reality and the moment and present just takes over. Where everything becomes a blur, hours and hours become a mere state of mind.
The 'Beacon' Collection features 6 awesome sunnies and 4 glasses! As most of you guys probably know already, I have a slight obsession with transparent and huge frames.
Evidence here, here, and here.
So the Moonstone would come to no surprise as one of my favorites! Along with Moonstone, I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the Revolver Black and Oak Barrel. These are just some of my picks, but you guys should definitely check out the rest of the collection here!
As I publish this post, I am packing for my trip to New York tonight, and I can't wait to stop by their showroom to see the new collection!
What do you guys think of the 'Beacon'? What are your faves?

How CUTE are these pandas?!
COS Dress, Steve Madden Shoes, Top Shop Backpack, QUAY Sunglasses
The humidity in Hong Kong is KILLER guys. Nobody's playing games here. Behind the smiling is a desperate cry for some nice air conditioning. I recently trekked all the way to Sheung Wan and Central District to have an amazing lunch at Cha Cha Wan and visit the 1600 Panda Exhibition at PMQ.
PMQ is the awesome, hole-in-the-wall (but not really anymore), building that used to be an old police dorm. They filled each "dorm room" with different little boutiques. How rad is that?! And for a limited time, they featured 1600 pandas to support the movement to save the remaining 1600(ish) pandas in the world. I love the fact that this project is making such a HUGE splash and utilizing social media to its advantage. They had this designated areas where you could take selfies with the little pandas too!

By Katherine C. Cowan, Director, Marketing and Communications
What makes a school psychologist a school psychologist as opposed to a "regular" psychologist, counselor, therapist, or other related professional? Why does the distinction matter to student success? Can you answer this question easily and succinctly? More importantly, can anyone you work with answer it?
These are not idle or theoretical questions but rather point to a potentially serious problem for the profession: the risk of failing to articulate to all critical decision makers school psychologists' distinct and irreplaceable contribution to positive outcomes for students, families, and schools.
Over the past decade, school psychology (in large measure due to NASP's efforts) has made significant strides in raising awareness of the profession and the issues that affect children's behavior and learning. To some extent, we have been pushed to the fore by the darker side of kids' lives as a result of high-profile school violence, terrorism, and natural disasters. Our work in this area has been stellar and I think it is safe to say that, in most education circles, school psychologists are recognized as leaders in school crisis prevention and response. Beyond crisis, though, we have made noticeable progress in improving stakeholder understanding of the links among mental health, development, and learning; the critical importance of prevention; the need for evidence-based interventions; and the interrelationship between environmental (external) and child-based (internal) factors that shape student outcomes.
We have been particularly successful in the area of children's mental health and the school's role in providing services. Stigma and skepticism still exist but far fewer people look askance when you mention the issue. Indeed, mental health just may be the next big frontier in school reform. School-based mental health is a major focus in proposed federal legislation right now and has been addressed legislatively in a number of states. I regularly field press calls on mental health issues in school. And, although perhaps a few degrees removed from direct mental health services, initiatives like PBIS and RTI are further evidence of efforts to bring the whole child into focus in the school setting. Notably, these efforts also seek to infuse in the general education environment the focus on evidence-based early intervention and problem solving historically found in special education.
All good news in terms of the role of school psychologists, right? Maybe.
As much as it pains me to say this as NASP Director of Communications, it is not at all clear what the ultimate outcome for school psychologists will be as a result of our success in generating attention for the issues or even the services needed to address those issues. Don't misunderstand me. NASP has effectively advocated at the national level for school psychologists as specifically trained and necessary to successful schooling for all children. The House bill on school mental health clearly reflects this effort, as does inclusion of school psychologists in the recently passed federal loan forgiveness bill. Our long-standing collaborative work with allied professional organizations has helped generate support for NASP's opposition to APA's removal of the exemption for school psychologists from its model licensure act. Groups such as NCATE, the National School Boards Association, the Council of Administrators of Special Education, the American Counseling Association, and others have written letters to APA urging them to reinstate the exemption. But NASP (or your state associations for that matter) cannot make the case for the profession in every arena where many critical decisions are made. This is particularly true at the local and district level where important "grassroots" perspectives and constituencies are formed.
In the 8 years that I have been here, I have observed a natural reluctance among school psychologists to appear self-serving when discussing what is in the best interest of children. We need to get over this. The reality is that in many critical arenas the discussion about the "what" and "why" with regard to services for students does not necessarily also include the "who" with specific reference to the need for school psychologists. This distinction does not come naturally to our consumers or policymakers. The risk of being marginalized is real as other professions are either drawn by demand or actively seek entry into expanding school-based services. Most alarming is APA's decision to remove the school psychology exemption from their model licensure act. The potential ramifications of this are obvious. Look at how APA defines in the model act what a psychologist does. You can see how easy it would be for decision makers to ask, "Exactly what do the 'people-formally-known-as-school-psychologists' do that a general psychologist can't?"
In some districts in Texas, where many talented and dedicated "people-formally-known-as-school- psychologists" work, behavioral specialists are being hired to provide the interventions normally provided by school psychologists (or those still known as school psychologists in other states). Is this bad for students? Perhaps not. What is bad for everyone involved is that, because the line between behavior and mental health can be fuzzy, these behavioral specialists are also being asked to provide mental health services, which for the most part they are not trained to do.
Consider also the State of Connecticut where the legislature recently passed a bill allowing Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT) to work in schools (see related article on page 33). The decision acknowledges the need to support students' mental health and the opportunity to do so in schools. This is good. It also is likely that MFTs will be a positive addition to school services with regard to therapy and counseling. Yet, you have to consider how stakeholders will view these services as distinct from therapy and counseling provided by school psychologists (or school social workers and counselors), or where in their minds the distinction ends. If a MFT can provide counseling, can they also recommend classroom interventions? Provide teacher consultation? Implement bullying prevention programs? Serve on the PBIS team? Realistically, Connecticut is more likely to represent a beachhead than an isolated solution to inadequate availability of children's mental health services. It behooves all of us to watch how MFTs are integrated into the school team in Connecticut and whether or not the efficacy of school-based services and the roles of trained school-employed professionals (including school psychologists) are preserved.
I suppose the one "upside" to APA's current stance on the model act is that it has refocused our attention on the need to be doggedly intentional about answering the question posed at the outset of this article. Exactly what makes a school psychologist a school psychologist and why does this matter to student success? In many cases, this may require raising the question with stakeholders in the first place. If we wait until policymakers or administrators are trying to figure this out on their own, it may be too late. The primary purpose of the Communication Matters column is to help NASP members identify opportunities or avenues for engaging in this dialogue.
Your training and expertise don't lend themselves to sound bite descriptions but it is possible to hone in on the key points. How these lay out may vary a bit for each of you and in each instance should be strengthened with specific examples. General key messages include:
We have developed a handout (see insert) that briefly lays out school psychologists' "defining skills." The challenge is to be proactive about defining the distinct role of school psychologists without dismissing the contribution of other professionals to the health and welfare of children and families, or of other school-based professionals to school success. There are plenty of children and challenges to go around. Moreover, we want to be upfront that, with proper training and supervision, related community professionals, such as clinical child psychologists, can work effectively in schools.
NASP will continue to work on these issues. We need you to do so as well. Use the NASP resources identified below. Share yours with us (email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com). Toward that end, please let us know if you have data from your research or work in your districts that specifically address outcomes from school psychological services. This is vital evidence-based information.

Hi all,
I've just bought and set up a WD Router (N750), net is working fine, but I'm having trouble getting to router settings. Going to wdrouter or 192.168.1.1 takes me to a WD login page, but I've never been -given- a login. I have my network name and password (which don't work there), but that's it.
How do I get into router settings with no login?
Read the manual and/or Quick Install Guide.
It's clearly documented in both places...

I've noticed that a ton of skin powders/finishers, whether Pearlmatte, that Year of the Snake Beauty Powder, or MSF, have been set for MAC 2013. What do you guys think of those offerings overall? I really like those sorts of products, but I don't want to be shelling out cash for every variety, y'know? I'll probably just end up purchasing 2 or 3 unless I absolutely adore any others.
Also, how do you prefer using them? As a highlighter? A setting powder? Or perhaps an overall shimmery finish?
I'm personally not a fan of the pearlmattes at all. They lack shimmer and seem to be more of an allover brightener, tho they do have a bit of colour. So far the past PMs have been super light in colour. Until swatches are done of the archie PMs, and the new ones in The BB collection, we won't know the colour payoff as to whether they can be used as a blush or not.
BPs are always a good thing. They initially launched without shimmer at all, meant to be used all over and a glowing brightener. Within the last couple years the shimmer has increased, but not to the point of a glitterball. However, these more shimmery ones are meant to be highlights. They lack enough colour to be used as a blush tho.
MSFs are great well rounded products. Some contain enough colour to be used as a shimmery blush, some just as a highlight, and range from a nice sheen to chunkier shimmer. This is the only product that can also be used wet for a more intense effect. NOT for use all over the face tho (insert disco ball warning!).
The newest product that's out now is the ED skinfinish. It's a great highlighter with a soft-medium shimmer. More of a high sheen (in the middle of a BP and most MSFs). These can only be used dry (tho the ED shadows can be used wet or dry. The new ED blushes use is yet unknown).
It all depends on the effect you're going for.

In Madison, Mayor Rybak Unveils New Ad Campaign to Attract Same-Sex Weddings to Minneapolis
"I Want to Marry You in Minneapolis" campaign running in Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago publications
September 5, 2013 (MINNEAPOLIS) — In Madison, Wisconsin today, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak unveiled a new ad campaign, called "I Want to Marry You in Minneapolis," that invites same-sex couples from Madison and across Wisconsin to make the short trip to Minneapolis to get legally married. Minneapolis, City by Nature, is a supportive, welcoming city with free LGBT wedding-planning services and hundreds of friendly vendors who are waiting to help gay and lesbian Madison and Wisconsin couples put together the wedding of their dreams. Marriage equality has been in effect in Minnesota since August 1 of this year.
Mayor Rybak was joined by Madison Mayor Paul Soglin and President and CEO of Fair Wisconsin Katie Belanger, both of whom argued that this campaign points to the urgent need to enact marriage equality in Wisconsin.
Mayor Rybak unveiled the ad campaign, created pro bono by the Minneapolis marketing and branding firm Zeus Jones, at the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center, a community-based organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for LGBT people in the Metro Milwaukee area. The campaign is in partnership with Meet Minneapolis, Convention & Visitors Association.
The "I Want to Marry You in Minneapolis" campaign will also run in Milwaukee-area publications, while similar ads targeted at Chicago were unveiled in publications there last week. Copies of the ads that will run in Madison are attached.
"Minnesotans and Wisconsinites are almost like family: we know each other well and see each other often. Now, our Wisconsin cousins have another great reason to come see us in Minneapolis: to get married," Mayor Rybak said. "Gay and lesbian couples from Madison and across Wisconsin don't have to wait one more day to get legally married in Minneapolis. We're a supportive and welcoming city, and we're ready to help them put together the wedding of their dreams."
Meet Minneapolis offers free LGBT wedding-planning services and direct connections to hundreds to LGBT-friendly wedding vendors.
"This just goes to show that progressive public policy is good for business: marriage equality isn't just the right thing to do for Wisconsin, it's the smart thing to do for Wisconsin," Mayor Rybak added. "I hope the day comes very soon that all Wisconsinites can marry the person that they love, and I fully support the growing coalition that is working to make that happen. But until that day comes, I'm here to steal your business."
"It's time for Wisconsin for to join the 21st century and do the right thing. Eventually, we will recognize same-sex marriage — and the sooner, the better," said Mayor Paul Soglin.
"As more and more states surrounding Wisconsin enact marriage equality, many Wisconsin couples are certainly likely to avail themselves of the full recognition afforded by those states and the federal government. Wisconsin's antiquated and discriminatory laws banning marriage equality and civil unions are bad for our people and our economy, and put our entire state at a disadvantage to our more welcoming neighbors," said Kate Belanger, president and CEO of Fair Wisconsin, which works to protect and advance the civil rights of LGBT people in Wisconsin through electoral involvement and direct legislative advocacy.
Mayor Rybak is a long-standing advocate for the freedom for all couples to marry and was a leader in the fight to enact it in Minnesota. Beginning at the stroke of midnight on August 1 — the moment at which it became legal for all Minnesotans to marry the person that they love — and until almost 7:00 a.m. that morning, Mayor Rybak personally performed 46 same-sex weddings in the Rotunda of Minneapolis City Hall, an event that was more than two months in the planning. Two weeks later, Mayor Rybak also officiated at the wedding of Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau and her wife.
In just one month since same-sex marriage became legal in Minnesota, 1,640 same-sex Minnesota couples have applied for marriage licenses.

A 5-7 Week Science Unit for Middle School Level.
This unit is designed for 6th grade, but could be adapted for 5th-8th grades. Students learn about the exploration of deep sea canyons, seamounts, and the Bering Sea. They develop an understanding of how technology is used to explore the ocean by participating in a deep sea sampling simulation, creating a bathymetric map, and assuming the role of scientists using hydrophones to locate whales. They then explore their local waters using sampling techniques to discover the plants and animals. Finally, they explore a new ocean topic and present their knowledge to others.
Investigation 1: The Excitement of Exploration (3-4 days)
Why do people explore? Why is the ocean relatively unexplored? What are some contributions of past and present ocean explorers? Students begin this 3-4 day investigation with a discussion and activity centered around seven traditional reasons that people explore. Then they go on an imaginary journey to the unknown. Once the journey is over, the students are given clues to discover that their trip was in a manned submersible in the Bering Sea. They learn about a researcher who is actually studying the Bering Sea in a submarine, then watch and discuss a video featuring underwater explorer Robert Ballard. As a final activity in this investigation, students research past and present ocean explorers and share their discoveries, inventions, or research.
Investigation 2: Canyons in the Sea (5-7 days)
How do scientists explore the deep sea? What types of deep sea organisms are found in Alaska'a Pribilof and Zhemchug canyons? What are some of the decisions that scientists must make when deciding how to investigate an unexplored area of the deep ocean? In this 5-7 day investigation, students learn about vehicles used to explore the sea. They then learn about two deep sea canyons in the Bering Sea and the variety of life found in these canyons. Finally, students create a mural of one of the canyons, and participate in a sampling simulation to determine what organisms live in the canyon.
Investigation 3: Mountains in the Sea (6-7 days)
Why is it important to map the sea floor? What are some ways that are used to map the sea floor? How are sea floor features like seamounts formed? In this 6-7 day investigation, students begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska. They learn how seamounts were formed and look at a bathymetric map of a seamount. In Activity 3A, students explore sea floor mapping techniques as they participate in an activity to create a map of a sea feature they have molded out of clay. In Activity 3B, students watch a short animated presentation, "Who cares about Sea Floor Mapping?" then create a model of a seamount found in Alaska. They use pre-sonar techniques to collect data and create a graph of their seamount using Excel.
Investigation 4: Searching for Sounds in the Sea (3-4 days)
How does sound travel underwater? How do scientists record and analyze underwater sounds? What can scientists learn about whales by listening to their sounds in the sea? This 3-day investigation begins with students listening to a variety of underwater sounds, and deciding if the sound was made by an animal or something else. They learn about sound and how sound works in water, and about a researcher in the Bering Sea who is using sound to study the North Pacific right whale. Students learn about hydrophones and participate in an activity that simulates the use of hydrophones. Finally, they learn about spectrograms and try to identify animals by looking at the spectrograms and listening to the associated sounds.
Investigation 5: Field Trip - Exploring Our Local Waters (3-4 days)
How can we use scientific methods to explore our local water body or aquatic environment? In this 3-4 day investigation, students go outdoors to explore their local water body, using sampling techniques to discover what plants and animals live there.
Investigation 6: Discovering Underwater Wonders of the World (7-8 days)
What can you discover about the underwater world? During this 7-8 day investigation, students create a list of ocean topics that they would like to know more about, then choose a topic to explore. They create a presentation to share their new knowledge with others.

The breakup with your girlfriend is finally complete, and you're celebrating your own personal Independence Day with your buddies and some brews.
But if she was also listed on your auto insurance policy her departure could mean big changes for your car insurance premiums. Will you be celebrating with your own fireworks as the rates fall? Or will you be crying in your beer as they rise?
The only easy answer is: It depends.
"If the driver removed from the policy is a safe-driving superstar with a pristine driving record and the driver remaining is far below average, then rates can go up," says Lynne McChristian, Florida representative for the Insurance Information Institute.
On the other hand, if your girlfriend had her own collection of traffic tickets and your driving record is squeaky clean, you're most likely to see your car insurance rates decline, says Brandt Minnich, vice president of marketing at Mercury Insurance.
And if both of you have similar driving records, you'll probably see little change because of the split, Minnich says.
The most important factor that car insurance companies consider when setting rates is your driving record. If you want to keep your rates as low as possible, you need to keep your driving record as clean as possible.
But your driving record isn't the only thing that comes into play. Car insurers consider a whole host of other factors, and they assess risk differently, so you should learn how to compare quotes.
One of the big things they take into account is gender, and unfortunately for you, males typically pay more than females for the same type of auto insurance coverage.
Driving while male - risky business
Men generally drive more miles than women and are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as drinking and driving, speeding and not wearing seat belts, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. And men accounted for 71 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2012. That year, more than 33,000 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes.
Another factor your car insurance company will take into consideration when setting rates is your years of experience behind the wheel, Minnich says.
If you've been driving for a decade and your girlfriend has been driving for a couple of years, experience definitely weighs in your favor.
Because younger drivers tend to be more distracted and take more risks, they'll pay higher auto insurance rates. Even younger drivers who have a driving record with no black marks against it, if licensed for less than three years, will typically pay an inexperienced operator surcharge. That surcharge declines with age, and then is eliminated by the time the driver has reached age 25.
How credit and location impact car insurance rates
And while it may seem far removed from your record behind the wheel and your years of driving experience, auto insurance companies often will also take your credit score into consideration, McChristian says.
So if you're one of the millions of Americans who has filed for bankruptcy in the past few years, and your girlfriend has managed to maintain a credit score of 800, your car insurance rates could rise now that you're on your own.
The amount you pay for your premium also may be affected by the auto insurance discounts you received.
"There may have been some multi-car discounts provided, so having both a car and a driver removed from the policy would affect rates," McChristian says.
If you're a Geico customer, for example, you might have a discount of up to 25 percent on most of your types of auto insurance coverages if you've insured more than one vehicle. And Nationwide offers a Family Plan, so anyone who lives in the same household as you can receive the same discounts.
Another factor that influences your auto insurance rates is where you reside. So if you've moved into new digs since your split, your rates could easily change, McChristian says.
Just moving from one ZIP code to another in the same city could cause your rates to skyrocket or to sink, even though your driving record, insurance claim history and the vehicle you drive haven't changed.
When auto insurance companies set their rates, they look at the insurance claims rates in a geographic region. They'll take into account such things as the number of vehicles that are stolen in that area, the number of claims filed because of car burglaries, the number of vandalism reports, and even damage claims caused by a natural disaster such as a wildfire or a hurricane.
Considering all the uncertainty that comes from removing someone from your auto insurance policy, you might be reluctant to add them in the first place. But that carries its own set of risks.
Everyone who lives in your household or uses your car regularly should be added to your policy. If not, and they get in a wreck while driving your vehicle, your auto insurance company could deny your claim on the grounds you misrepresented who drove your vehicle, says Penny Gusner, consumer analyst for Insure.com.

Apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?
By Diogenes (bio - articles ) | May 19, 2003
Once upon a time, boys and girls, there was an Irish priest whose name was Patrick J. Lynch. Fr. Pat worked in Dallas, Texas. Fr. Pat was sexually involved with several elementary school students over a period of thirty years. Fr. Pat's bishop sent him off for a rest, and a psychologist said he had a "serious personality pathology." So then what happened?
Despite these warnings, Bishop Grahmann then let him retire in good standing -- a status that permits continued ministry. Father Lynch moved overseas with an upbeat letter from the bishop that made no mention of abuse.
"I commend you," the bishop wrote, "on doing such a great job for the people of the diocese."
The pastoral approach!
Bishop Grahmann, in the name of grade school children everywhere, I commend you on doing such a great job for the people of the diocese.
