Even if you've never been to Sawtooth Lake, you'll likely recognize it on arrival. This star of Idaho's Sawtooth Range has graced hundreds of wilderness calendars, usually with 10,190-foot Mt. Regan reflected in its placid waters. It's a beauty all right, but photos don't do it justice. In person, it bowls you over.
The lake sits at 8,430 feet, cupped by crumbling cliffs hundreds of feet high and shaded in browns, grays, and pinks dabbed here and there with green highlights. It was while hiking a two-day circuit through these mountains in the yellow light of an August sunrise that I came face to face with this pinup idol. Though I'd just broken camp and had many miles to cover that day, at the sight of the lake I had to step off the trail and drop my pack. Walking while staring at the picture-perfect cliffs and mountains reflected in the water had become hazardous.
Sawtooth Lake sits at the midpoint of a moderately strenuous 17-mile circuit that links two scenic valleys and carries you across the high pass between them. The 3,000-foot climb to the lake through Baron Creek Valley takes you through a conifer forest before breaking into meadows hemmed by cliffs and 9,000-foot-high pyramids of broken rock. As the trail clambers still higher, the distant saber-toothed spires of the Sawtooths come briefly into view before you plunge into the woods again. All total, more than 40 peaks in the wilderness soar above the 10,000-foot mark.
The last leg to Sawtooth Lake passes by a string of tarns surrounded by progressively more barren terrain. (You'll find uncrowded campsites nearby.) Once you've gawked at the big lake and climbed to the pass, the whole trip is replayed in mirror image: rocky tarns, giving way to forest fringe, then deep forest and tumbling creek, then trailhead. The second time around may be a bit sweeter, since you're headed downhill.

An absolute treat for the heart and mind, these 24 lectures demonstrate how to master the art of storytelling, offering insight into the process of crafting and delivering a tale to enhancing the stories you tell everyday - to your children at bedtime, in your conversational anecdotes, and in your presentations at work. Teachers, lawyers, clergy, coaches, parents, and anyone who wants to understand the power of stories to capture hearts and minds will benefit from these lessons.
You'll discover practical methods for building dynamic tension and capturing - then maintaining - your audience's attention. You'll acquire tips and techniques for finding, selecting, and preparing stories, whether they're based on your own experiences, time-honored folk tales, or beloved family yarns. You'll also learn to choose expressive language, craft compelling characters, refine your narrator's point of view, shape your story's plot, structure, and emotional arc, use body language to connect with your audience, and more.
Part how-to workshop, part intellectual study of the history of narrative, these lectures feature exercises that literally get you moving to develop your stories and make them more enjoyable. Professor Harvey's interactive activities and "side coaching" sessions are designed to make you comfortable enough with your story to tell it naturally and make impromptu changes as needed. You'll even learn what to do if the unexpected occurs while telling a story to a roomful of kids or giving a presentation, and about the practical considerations of using props, PowerPoint, and microphones in various scenarios.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

"Too many stories, not enough lecture"
As an instructional presentation on storytelling, there could be more focus on the elements of stories and storytelling and fewer actual stories. The number and length of the stories told by the lecturer, especially early in the series makes them seem gratuitous. I also don't find those stories to be particularly engaging or insightful. While she does use some good examples from other storytellers, I think the format of this lecture would be improved if even more, if not all examples were from other storytellers. Then it would seem more like an analytical lecture and less like a performance showcase for the professor.
Fairly often, phrases delivered by the lecturer are punctuated by an almost-snort, kind of a self-deprecating half-laugh which I'm sure is very endearing in person, but highly distracting in an audio-only format.
Favorite Genres: Urban/Preternatural Fantasy, Science Fiction, Knitting Favorite Story Components: character development, under-dog success stories
""Storytelling" = public speaking storytelling"
I thought this course would offer more on the crafting of the stories, but it focused mostly on how to convey stories in a face-to-face, public speaking manner, from sitting rooms to auditoriums. There were a lot of points that I could see translating into crafting a story for all mediums, but not as much as I was hoping for.
I'm not taking stars off because I misunderstood what the intent was - that was my reading failure. What the course intended to cover, it covered well, though it didn't quite make it to an outstanding source.
The performance I debated with myself over. The instructor in the course obviously thought there would be a visual component, and her style of story telling, used in examples, was not to my taste. When not actually "storytelling", her instructions were clear and to the point, and the rationale clearly explained. I much preferred her lecture voice to her story telling voice.
In point of fact, I had more than a few occasions while listening where I thought that many of the narrators on Audible would benefit from this listen.
When I drive, I read... uhm listen. I like SciFi, Fantasy, some Detective and Espionage novels and Religion. Now and then I will also listen to something else.
"Superb, insightful but limited by audio only"
'The Art of Storytelling' by Prof. Hannah B. Harvey is probably one of the best courses in 'The Great Courses' series. Not only does it deals with something no human being can get away from - the telling of stories - Harvey's presentation is absolutely exquisite, she has a way to draw you in.
So why don't I give it five stars throughout. Because you loose out tremendously by buying the audio only version. While listening to Prof. Harvey gives you the basics, there are so much more that is just not accessible when listening to the audio version of the course. I would have loved to not only hear, but also to see the storytellers, including herself perform by telling a story. You only hear the example 'stories' while it is used to help you with gestures, movement etc. She also gives valuable exercises on body posture and warming up your body and vocal chords before an performance. In the audio version you miss out on a lot of these.
That said, being a minister of religion that often preaches to various audiences, I was able to incorporate some of her ideas in one of my recent sermons. I was astounded with the reaction.
Prof. Harvey covers al the components of a good story, how to write or think up or identify a story as well as how to present or perform it. It is absolutely worthwhile and the self-help exercises (cross-training) she gives helps a lot.
Unfortunately you will want to have more. I found that the audio version of this lecture left me with a feeling of being cheated out of the most important part of storytelling - body language... maybe it is better to wait for a Great Courses 70% off sale, pay a little more (or a lot) and watch the video version. If you don't have that kind of money, the audio might just help you getting started.
"At least her voice was pleasant..."
When I chose this 'Great Course,' I was under the impression that I would learn the invaluable secrets of a professional storyteller. I quickly figured out that there are no secrets; I waited hours and hours for the slightest resemblance of a tidbit of insightful knowledge, and it turns out that there weren't any at all to be found. I can think of a multitude of questions that I would've liked answered regarding the process of becoming a compelling storyteller, but instead, the information given in this audiobook was too simple. It's not that this 'Course' is developed for an elementary-level learner, but there wasn't any knowledge departed that wasn't already known from common sense. The majority of the audiobook is spent on the narrator telling stories about people she knows; and when the lessons concluded, I was left trying to understand the significance of the story and the lesson derived from it. There are no lessons in this Course, only a deluge of stories that the narrator thinks are interesting and which bear no significance to the 'lessons' given. Don't waste your time on this audiobook.
"Didn't learn anything"
Waited hours to learn something. Nothing. And this little giggle/laugh of hers became incredibly annoying.
Absolutely not.
"Annoying Verbal Style"
I found the course mildly informative.
I found the professor's verbal style annoying. This was unexpected as she is a "professional storyteller." Essentially, the annoyance comes from her repeated use of a slight chuckle to punctuate phrases. I suppose if I only heard her tell a single story her chuckle wouldn't be so bothersome, but after hearing it over and over for hours, it sounded like a performance tic, essentially unnatural. The way she inhabits excitement in her story-telling also feels a bit odd after hearing it a few times. So she, as a demonstrator of her own advice, undermined the validity of her lessons through her less-than-natural delivery.
This is by far the worst Great Courses course I have ever bought. Prof. Harvey's family stories are trite and uninteresting. She has an awful habit of grunting, snorting and sniffing. She can't seem to differentiate between children's stories and adult stories. She advises not to use accents, and then randomly and bizarrely (she cannot say "fairy" without resorting to her awful accent), tries to use a Scottish accent, which she claims she is capable of. She isn't. In short, she is overbearing. I could not finish the course.
"Great storytelling, poor series of lectures"
Performed with gusto and an obvious passion for stories, this series is abysmally light on substance. Each chapter summary will have you think, "This sounds amazing!" just as you realize the lecture didn't deliver. Often, it's because the lecturer gets so excited about her own skill, she reduces the lesson to, "Try to see what I did there. You just have to feel it."
Personally, I've also struggled with the lecturer's ticks, especially the ubiquitous laugh/snort she seems to use instead of punctuation, sometimes following stories that are not at all amusing. Which feeds into a greater problem, that of her seeming inability to see that establishing what a story is about to you doesn't give you the right to pull the rug from under the listener. A pet trick of hers seems to be telling a story as a joke, just to deliver a morbid ending that has not been foreshadowed at all. Finally, no matter what kind of a story she is telling, there is only one way she delivers them all. It gets tiresome.
Fun collection of stories. Not particularly useful for becoming a better storyteller yourself.
"Outstanding course!"
Professor Harvey gave me countless insights that enhanced my abililty to tell a good story. She explained each component eloquently, gave examples, and told compelling and captivating stories to capture each point.
I purchased this program, and listened to it, to enhance my ability as a professional speaker. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a speaker, a Toastmaster, or who just needs to make presentations.
"Very informative and useful"
This is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to, and I try to choose books that are going to be informative, helpful, and entertaining.
Professor Harvey and her host of helpers were great to listen to, as they get into character it helped me to know how to get in character
I was moved throughout the book but the opening story does what an opening story ought to do, it takes something simple, and makes it seem as big as the world and as big as you and I.
"Storytelling, as taught by a poor story teller."
I really wanted to get in to this course, but I can't get over the poor storytelling skills of the tutor. Although she knows what it technically means to be a good storyteller, her application of those things she tries to teach and her cringe-worthy, nerve-jarring use of accents and dialects (most notable is her attempt at a Scottish accent, something she claims to have had coaching on. I don't know by who, but I don't believe they were Scottish) makes me completely lose trust in what she has to teach. One of the most annoying things about the whole audio book is when she exhales in a short blast through her nose at something she finds humorous - which generally isn't humorous at all, it's almost a confidence issue and does it through nerves (much like somebody might say 'urr' and 'umm' a lot when they are nervous). She does this a lot.
It very much feels like the subheading should have the "to Professionals" part taken out, as it does not feel like her performance style should be aimed at anyone older than early teens.
If she taught the essentials with a better storyteller performing the actual story parts, it would be a much better listen.
I certainly would, as they have some great courses in their catalogue.
Based on my experience with this book I very much doubt that I would.
There will probably be plenty of listeners who have learnt something from this book, unfortunately if I can bare to finish the last 1/5 of it I am not likely to be one of them.
"Good but..."
I found this book useful, with some really good insights. However I did find it a bit tedious at times. It could be a cultural difference between British and American Styles of story telling / listening. A preview of the points she is making would have been useful as it is not always apparent.
"Erudite and Inspirational"
This book brought me back to my long forgotten love of storytelling. It provides practical ideas of how to structure the creative energy of the story as well as practical advice on voice control, memorizing and connecting with the audience. I am definitely going to listen to this again and again.

This afternoon, CBO issued two letters related to health care legislation:
The estimates deal with the effects of H.R. 2 on federal revenues and direct spending (that is, spending that does not depend on future appropriation actions).
For the most part, the budgetary impact of repealing the health care legislation is similar to the impact of enacting it, with the opposite sign. But there are some differences. This estimate reflects a number of developments that have occurred since CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) produced the cost estimate for the March 2010 legislation, including changes in the economic outlook, technical revisions to CBO's projections of program spending, the initial steps that have been taken to implement the new laws, and enactment of legislation that modified those laws. Those developments did not have a major effect on the overall budgetary impact of repealing the legislation. In addition, CBO has seen no evidence to date that the steps that will be taken to implement the March legislation—or the ways in which participants in the health care and health financing systems will respond to that legislation—will yield overall budgetary effects that differ significantly from the ones that CBO and JCT projected earlier.
The estimate for H.R. 2 differs in one significant way from the estimate for the enacted health care legislation. The original estimate covered the period from 2010 through 2019, the period used for Congressional budget enforcement procedures when the legislation was being considered; the new estimate spans the period currently used for budget projections and estimates, 2012 to 2021.
Impact on the Federal Budget in the First Decade
CBO and JCT estimate that, on balance, the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting H.R. 2 would cause a net increase in federal budget deficits of $210 billion over the 2012-2021 period. By comparison, last March CBO and JCT estimated that enacting PPACA and the health-related provisions of the Reconciliation Act would reduce federal deficits by $124 billion over the 2010-2019 period. The difference between the two estimates for the 10-year projection periods is primarily attributable to the different time periods they cover. Over the eight years that are common to the two analyses (2012-2019), enactment of PPACA and the health-related provisions of the Reconciliation Act was projected last March to reduce federal deficits by $132 billion, whereas the repeal of that legislation is projected now to increase deficits by $119 billion.
Those projections do not include any potential savings in discretionary spending, which is governed by annual appropriation acts. By CBO's estimates, repeal of the health care legislation would probably reduce the appropriations needed by the Internal Revenue Service by between $5 billion and $10 billion over 10 years. Similar savings would accrue to the Department of Health and Human Services.
There is no clear basis for projecting other effects of H.R. 2 on discretionary spending. PPACA contained a number of authorizations for future appropriations, which, if left in place, might or might not result in additional appropriations. For example, most of the authorizations were for activities that were already being carried out under current law or that were previously authorized and that PPACA authorized for future years. Thus, repeal of the PPACA authorizations might or might not result in discretionary savings associated with those authorizations.
Impact on the Federal Budget Beyond the First 10 Years
Because PPACA and the Reconciliation Act were projected to reduce deficits in the decade following the 10-year projection period, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2 would increase federal deficits during the decade following the initial 10-year period. Specifically, the total increase in deficits during the 2022-2031 period would lie in a broad range around one-half percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
As with all of CBO's cost estimates, these estimates—both for the first 10 years and beyond—reflect an assumption that the provisions of current law would otherwise remain unchanged throughout the projection period and that the legislation being considered would be enacted and implemented in its current form. CBO's responsibility to the Congress is to estimate the effects of proposals as written and not to forecast future legislation. However, current law now includes a number of policies that might be difficult to sustain over a long period of time. If those policies or other key aspects of the original legislation would have subsequently been modified or implemented incompletely, then the budgetary effects of repealing PPACA and the relevant provisions of the Reconciliation Act could be quite different—but CBO cannot forecast future changes in law or assume such changes in its estimates.
Effects on the Federal Budgetary Commitment to Health Care
CBO uses the term "federal budgetary commitment to health care" to describe the sum of net federal outlays for health programs and tax preferences for health care. H.R. 2 would roughly reverse the outcome projected for the original legislation, diminishing the federal budgetary commitment to health care by an estimated $464 billion over the next decade and increasing it in subsequent years.
Effects on the Number of People With Health Insurance
Under H.R. 2, about 33 million fewer nonelderly people would have health insurance in 2021, leaving a total of about 57 million nonelderly people uninsured. The share of legal nonelderly residents with insurance coverage in 2021 would be about 82 percent, compared with a projected share of 95 percent under current law (and 83 percent currently).
Effects on Health Insurance Premiums
If H.R. 2 was enacted, premiums for health insurance in the individual market would be somewhat lower than under current law, mostly because the average insurance policy in this market would cover a smaller share of enrollees' costs for health care and a slightly narrower range of benefits. Although premiums in the individual market would be lower, on average, under H.R. 2 than under current law, many people would end up paying more for health insurance—because under current law, the majority of enrollees purchasing coverage in that market would receive subsidies via the insurance exchanges, and H.R. 2 would eliminate those subsidies.
Premiums for employment-based coverage obtained through large employers would be slightly higher under H.R. 2 than under current law. Premiums for employment-based coverage obtained through small employers might be slightly higher or slightly lower (reflecting uncertainty about the impact of the enacted legislation on premiums in that market).
In response to a question from Congressman Paul Ryan, Chairman of the House Budget Committee, CBO analyzed the long-term effects on the federal budget of enacting H.R. 2 if certain provisions of PPACA and the Reconciliation Act would, as a result of subsequent legislation, not have taken effect. In particular, CBO developed a rough outlook regarding the effects of H.R. 2 in the 2022-2031 period if:
CBO expects that, supposing that those specific changes would have occurred anyway through subsequent legislation, enactment of H.R. 2 would reduce federal deficits in the decade beyond 2021 by an amount between zero and one-quarter percent of GDP. (In contrast, in its analysis of the effects of H.R. 2 relative to current law, CBO projected that enactment of that legislation would increase federal deficits during the decade beyond 2021 by an amount that is in a broad range around one-half percent of gross domestic product.)

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, Dubai.
It's been almost two years since I moved to London and rebuilt Citizen Game to the WordPress behemoth you see here before you. To many of you it probably seems as long since I updated the site. In honesty the last thing I remember publishing was our December podcast – so it's about time I broke the silence and let you in on what the hell has been going on.
Around January of this year myself and games journalism had a bit of a falling out. The staff's 4 month plan to drive traffic to the site and try and create a business around Citizen Game had been a failure. What's worse was the reason we failed. In shying away from regularly updated news and concentrating on original writing and media, we'd been sticking two fingers up to the tried and tested methods of generating traffic. Don't get me wrong, this was the plan all along. We didn't want to work on a website that worked alongside the frankly ridiculous games newswire. I hoped that our content would be powerful enough for word of mouth to collect a strong workable user-base, especially as more and more high profile industry people were shouting our praises. But in the end it was wishful thinking and our daily numbers failed to get anywhere close to what was required.
So for me, this was pretty frustrating. To work in this industry I would have to bow down to those same forces I've been trying to rally against all along; getting in bed with the news cycle, promoting reviews above other original content and concentrating less on media to have more time to develope user tools.
At around this stage I began to understand the tired look on many thirty-something game journalists and I wasn't particularly enjoying video games much either. Citizen Game was supposed to be a little leg-up for independent games journalists to get some sort of exposure. A decent looking website with a loyal audience that could help their portfolio look a little bit better to secure that illusive interview. The problem was it was also a showpiece for myself – though in what area (web design / media / journalism / production) I was still unsure.
Arrogant prat.
Any of you I've met will know I'm a pretty humble guy, but I'd like to think I'm realistic about my abilities too. Before starting Citizen Game I had never not been offered a job I interviewed for. Up until London my professional life had been a string of successful toe-dips into a range of interesting media – many of which I still work in freelance today. I'd be the first to say it had been pretty easy. I was lucky that my interests (web / graphics / radio / video) were also things that people wanted to pay me to do – and as a young guy probably pay me less than the going rate. So whether or not I deserved all the work I was given, my confidence and winning mentality wasn't prepared to take no for an answer. At least not for long.
Just before moving to London I had unsuccessfully interviewed for a position at a major UK gaming website. It was the "dream job" and not securing the position was devastating. I'm not a bitter person, and still wish the individual all the best, but I knew in my heart I had far more to offer and swore to prove to everybody that I new what I was doing.
I moved to London to do this. Without hesitation I said goodbye to my family and a bunch of possible career routes, to give myself a better chance of securing a job in games journalism in the UK next time my turn came around and Citizen Game was to help me showcase my expanding range of skills.
That's how my involvement in Citizen Game version 3 started and this is, perhaps, how it ends.
Decision Time
My quandary is one of both heart and mind. In my heart my love of games journalism is wavering and my desire to expand my talents and live a rich and exciting life is growing. After two years of London I'm beginning to feel comfortable and I want to feel the excitement of adventure all over again. My girlfriend and I have jobs that allow us to move around. She teaches science and I make websites and media. We can pretty much work in any city in the world – the only barrier being language.
If I was work in games journalism this would no longer be the case. The list of places I could work drops to under half a dozen realistic possibilities. It would also mean taking a substantial cut in pay. The average entry level writer collects about £15,000 per annum. Next year I would be hoping to earn closer to twice that, and my girlfriend already does.
More importantly games journalism has become stagnant. Most sites are creativity black-holes, making basic errors on how to communicate effectively with their users. It's staggering to me how major games sites write-off abuse from registered users as acceptable and it's been this way for years now. Conversely the internet and video are constantly evolving.
So this coming July I'll wave goodbye to London, the UK and Europe as my girlfriend and myself are moving to Dubai. She has already secured a job teaching English curriculum science in one of the city's finest schools, while I am currently looking for a position. For those of you who don't know Dubai is a city located in the United Arab Emirates, a state on the Eastern border of the Arabian Peninsula just south of Iran. It's an incredibly fascinating part of the world where Western consumption and Islamic values collide. I'll wait for another post to get into why I'm so excited to be moving to a place that has laws against homosexuality, bacon and beer.
Prodigal Son
In the back of my head I hope that in time my skills in and experience in web will allow me to return to the industry in a production or management role, but if there is anything I have learned about myself these two years in London – it's to not expect something too much. I'm looking forward to expanding my own personal horizons in Dubai.
As it happens the Middle East's gaming scene is expanding quickly, with the 4th annual Dubai Games Festival being held this coming Winter. Maybe I'll become Citizen Game's Arab gaming correspondent. Well, maybe just a blog – only time will tell.
But for now I leave you with this – the site is not dead, I'm just trying to figure out how to transition to a new core team before I leave. In any case I just wanted to thank everybody who visited the site, commented on our posts, listened to the podcast, watched our videos and attended our live event. In spite of it not reaching my own lofty expectations, Citizen Game has been one of the proudest projects I've ever worked on and if nothing else it has helped me make some genuine friends for life and a broad range of internet-mates I look forward to meeting in the future.
Talk soon citizens.
PS: I haven't even gotten to mention how myself, Denis and Dale are making a video game.
The Citizen Gamecast will be returning this weekend for a special show. On it we'll talk more about an interesting year for Citizen Game and future projects including Triple D Games. Id also like to mention that I had to write NEWS backwards for the webcam in the thumbnail of this article. This took me about ten minutes to get right.

By the end of the night the Hingham fans were silent, too embarrassed to admit their hosts might be "under-rated,†as they watched their team (2-4) get demolished by the #7-ranked Dragons, 42-14.
"Hingham's had our number for the past two years when they won the league title,†said Coach Dave Maimaron. "We knew we had to beat them if we wanted to win the league title and I'm not sure how focused we were the past two weeks thinking about that. I figured we would come here ready to play tonight and we did.â€
After two straight performances that Maimaron didn't feel were up to par, the Dragons put on a show that firmly established them as the team to beat in the Patriot League, especially with Friday night's upcoming game with Scituate, who lost (14-7) to Silver Lake on Friday night for its first loss of the year.
The Dragons were determined to play smash-mouth football, and they left little doubt on their first series of the game, starting at their own 30-yard line and going 70 yards in eight plays.
With Shane Dibona getting the majority of the carries (6 for 49 yards), Duxbury needed just three minutes to gain a 7-0 lead after Ben Startzell nailed the PAT.
A smothering Dragon defense led by Will Shields, Kyle Gavoni, Tyler Genereux, Quinn Cully, Steve Ripley Chris Norling and CJ Cote forced Hingham to punt after three downs. But the Harbormen were just as stingy, as they woke from their first series funk and forced the Dragons back to their own 19 where Startzell punted the ball to the Hingham nine.
Neither team could get any semblance of an offense going until midway through the second period, when the Dragons started a drive from their own 20-yard line with 7:27 left in the half.
A nine-yard run by Hakeem Lecky and a 44-yard burst by Dibona (11 carries/122 yards) suddenly had the ball at the Hingham 23.
Despite a 10-yard penalty for holding, the Dragons continued to move the ball down to the 13, where Dibona fumbled to kill the drive with 3:31 showing on the clock.
The vaunted Duxbury defense turned the game around at this point, stuffing the Harbormen on three straight plays and forcing a punt that was blocked by senior linebacker Chris Norling and picked up by junior Bobby Murphy, who walked into the end zone for the second score of the night and a 14-0 lead.
On Hingham's first play from scrimmage, the ball was knocked loose and recovered by Quinn Cully at the Hingham 31. A 10-yard holding call on the visitors, an eight-yard run by Murphy, and a 13-yard TD burst off guard by Dibona looked like the game was wrapped up at 21-0 with 1:10 showing on the clock.
But Hingham had other things on its mind, as QB Jake Quinn fooled the Duxbury defense for one of the few times all night, as he dropped back and executed a QB draw for 50 yards down to the Dragon's 15-yard line. Two players later the Harbormen were in the end zone and went to the locker room trailing 21-7.
After both teams were stopped in their tracks starting the second half, Hingham began its second drive at its own 24-yard line with 6:51 remaining in the third quarter.
After gaining a first down on a keeper, Quinn dropped back to pass and fired a quick out to the left, only to watch Lecky jump the route and sprint down the sideline with a 35-yard interception for a TD and a commanding 28-7 lead.
Everything fell apart for the defending champs after that, as Cully sacked the punter on the 11-yard line on the next series after a high snap from center, and Dibona scored his third TD of the night on an 11-yard run up the middle for a 35-7 lead with 2:48 left in the quarter.
Ben Urann made a crushing tackle on the ensuing kick-off that took the life out of the Harbormen, who turned the ball over after three downs and watched the Dragons score at will, with Murphy ripping through the Hingham defense for 21 yards and a TD to make it 42-7 with 10:41 remaining.
Senior QB Conor Murphy took over the Hingham offense with 10:32 to go and marched the Harbormen down the field on an 80-yard drive with Pat Creahan scoring on a 23-yard TD pass against Duxbury's second unit.
Back-up QB Liam Bevins came on for Duxbury's final series with 5:27 to go and was driving his team for a TD when freshman Tim Hallisey had the crowd on its feet with a spectacular 30-yard TD run that was unfortunately nullified by a Dragon penalty.
"We tried to come out and establish the run because we have a lot of faith in our offensive line,†said Maimaron. "Our defense was great and they have been stellar all year. Hingham caught us off guard on one play, but other than that our defense was prepared and our coaching staff did a great job getting them ready to implement our game plan.â€
Despite the outstanding play of the offense, the Duxbury defense was superb with Shields (9 tackles), Gavoni (6 tackles), Genereux (7 tackles), Cully (6 tackles), Norling (6 tackles), Cote (9 tackles), and Steve Ripley (6 tackles) stifling the Hingham offense.
Now sporting a 6-0 record, the Dragons will face their biggest Patriot League challenge so far this year when they hit the road to take on Scituate (5-1) on Friday night at 7.

Hamas trains its youth for next fight against Israel with teen boot camp teaching how to shoot rifles, crawl under barbed wire, jump through burning tires. 'Will know how to overcome Israeli army' says 15-year-old student
Published: 01.17.14, 09:36 / Israel News
The New York Times followed a graduation ceremony at Hamas'
training camp in Gaza, where the next generation of fighters is being trained ahead of a possible future battle with Israel.
During the training, the young fighters were taught how to fire AK-47 rifles, crawl under barbed wire and jump over burning tires, all while their course commanders closely monitor every student and looked for any mistake.

"We target the students to create future soldiers and leaders who can defend their cause and appreciate the value of resistance," said course commander Abu Mahmoud, who supervised 200 students at the training base that was constructed over the ruins of former Israeli settlement of Atzmona, which was evacuated as part of the disengagement from Gaza in 2005.
The high school students do not conceal their excitement at the thought of possibly fighting those they dub "the Zionist enemy". Muhamad Ghanem, only 15-years-old, is already geared up to take weapons into his hands. "By the time I finish training, I will know how to overcome the Israeli army. Even if they don't invade Gaza again, I will be ready to reach the border and fight them," he said.
Osama Shehada, also 15, said that he is interested in learning how to construct bombs to use against Israeli targets. According to him, he joined the training program to professionalize and to understand how Israel
uses Palestinian collaborators. "The Israeli occupation doesn't stop recruiting spies. For us, the spies are more dangerous than the (IAF) warplane," said Shehada.
The course, which ended Tuesday, was entirely funded by Hamas' Education Ministry. The graduation ceremony was attended by the movement's Prime Minister in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh, who spoke at the event and encouraged to continue the resistance. "Your generation will achieve the liberation and independence (of Palestine)," said Haniyeh, who suggested that girls could also take part in the program in the future.

Conclave to Elect New Pope, Starting March 12
A surprise abdication from Pope Benedict last month is bringing cardinals from around the world to the Vatican to discuss the problems facing the Catholic Church, and a possible successor to help solve them.
After 5 days of conclave, the Vatican announced Friday they would start the selection process for a new Pope on Tuesday, March 12th. Their secret ballot tradition will take place amongst the frescoes and altars of the Sistine Chapel following morning Mass in St. Peter's Basilica.
All under 80 years of age, the 115 elector-cardinals will participate in the ancient ritual. The voting process will continue until one man garners at least 77 votes, a two-thirds majority.
The cardinals will hold one vote on Tuesday, and if a new Pope is not selected, they will conduct 4 votes each day after.
In 2005, Pope Benedict was elected in less than 24 hours. His predecessor, John Paul II, took eight separate votes, and 3 days to be selected in 1978.
To ensure each cardinal can return to their dioceses in time to lead Easter services (Catholicism's most important day), it's clear they want the selection process to run as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
"It's been 10 days since I left the archdiocese, and as the old song goes, 'I wanna go home!'" U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan said in a blog on Friday.
The cardinals would draw "lots" to determine sleeping arrangements, according to Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi. During conclave all external communication, including emails and phone calls, is strictly forbidden
Preventative measures, such as network jamming devices, will be taken to ensure no outsiders can eavesdrop on conclave.

Bank of America (BAC-N) said it will pay $2.43 billion US to settle a class action lawsuit with investors who held its securities at the time the company announced plans to acquire Merrill Lynch.
The company expects to incur total litigation expense of about $1.6 billion for the quarter ending September 30.
The litigation expense and a U.K. tax charge are expected to hurt the bank's third-quarter earnings by about 28 cents per share, the company said in a statement.
The bank will also institute certain corporate governance enhancements until January 1, 2015, under the settlement.
Plaintiffs had alleged, among other claims, that Bank of America and certain of its officers made false or misleading statements about the financial health of Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.
Bank of America denied the allegations and said it was entering into this settlement to eliminate the uncertainty and expense related to a long drawn-out litigation.
The settlement has to be approved by the U.S. district court for the Southern District of New York.
Bank of America is scheduled to report third-quarter results on October 17.
Shares of the company were down slightly before the bell. They closed at $8.97 on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday.

DeBoer breaks 34-year-old record
Sophomore Cody DeBoer broke the 34-year-old school record in the long jump with a NCAA automatic qualifying mark on Saturday afternoon in Richmond, Va., as the Shippensburg University men's outdoor track and field squad finished the Fred Hardy Invitational with several solid performances.
Ship head coach Dave Osanitsch authorized his jumpers to try a long approach on their last attempt of the day and DeBoer nailed his leap, posting a mark of 24 feet, 9 inches that matches the NCAA automatic qualifying standard.
The old long jump record of 24 feet 1 inch was set in 1977 by Russ Dickinson.
DeBoer's jump marked a reverse from the order of historic jumps at the indoor national championships.
On Saturday, just before DeBoer achieved his automatic qualifier, freshman Herman Kirkland posted a NCAA provisional qualifying mark of 24 feet. Kirkland, the PSAC indoor long jump record holder, ended up finishing second for the afternoon behind DeBoer.

Visit Easy Elders
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
These mature women might be middle-aged, but they can suck and fuck better than many hardcore babes half their age. Easy Elders is a site featuring older horny women and a whole lot more, with both straight and lesbian action. It's also a site that completely replicates the content on Mature Women.
When it comes to what we consider the main content, you need to check out the "channels" section on EasyElders. There you will find content from 10 sites: Granny Lesbian Club, MILF Search, Mommy Needs Money, Sexy 60 Plus, My MILF Boss, MILFs Exposed, Sexy Cougars, Cougar Sex Club, Over 40 Hardcore and Bang My Stepmom. It seems as if the last update was about two weeks ago, but most of the sites are just rotating their content at this point.
All told, you can expect to find 405 videos and although some are merely good in quality, you can expect mostlyhigh-def playback. You can stream and download them in MP4s, but their Windows Media file can only be downloaded. You'll also find 436 photo galleries and they often come with a high-res viewing option, although one might be listed even when the pics it offers are smaller.
The vids and pics contain diverse action, including masturbation with fingers and toys, lesbian hookups that sometimes include strapon sex, handjobs, blowjobs, fucking, anal penetration, interracial and group encounters. If you want some idea of where to begin you can always sort by ratings, most viewed or most popular.
You will also see a tab labeled "videos" and this ends up giving you most of the same flicks found through the channels. Its default setting is "featured," but if you switch it to "everything" it will bring you loads of additional theme-related scenes from bonus DVDs (another tab lets you browse based on their DVD packaging).
On the left-hand side you will notice a long list of categories and although the default is "mature" you can switch to "MILF" to view some more scenes that fit the theme. You can also choose from loads of other diverse categories. With so much to see, you'll be glad that you can save your favorites. You can also use keyword tags to track down similar content that may interest you, so the only thing lacking really is an advanced search.
You can also check out about a half dozen bonus networks. Just keep in mind that you're generally going to see the same DVDs and scenes regardless of which way you choose to access the content. Even so, I think most anyone would agree that Easy Elders is worth your time and money despite the fact that the content looks a bit outdated.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Every year in mid-November, a special advertising event is held at the Waldorf Astoria to celebrate the great work of the Ad Council.
For those of you who don't immediately know what the Ad Council is, just think of the group that has created iconic advertising campaigns like "Friends don't let friends drink and drive," "Smokey Bear says only you can prevent forest fires," and hundreds of other campaigns designed to help improve the American way of life and call to action better ways to move our country forward. (Check out some of the Council's best work from the last year.)
Many of us have just sat at home watching these commercials for years without ever thinking about who makes them and how the ideas for ad campaigns are created, executed and delivered to our TV sets, laptops, magazines and radios. I can promise you that these ads are not created by elves; there is a huge effort behind these important messages.
It's 11:45pm and I have just gotten home from this amazing event, which featured a full celebration of the work that the Ad Council has created, and the audience of 1,000 was treated to powerful entertainment from our hostess for the evening, Tina Fey ("30 Rock" and SNL), The People's Chorus of NYC and other guest speakers.
As I reflect on this evening, it is without a doubt the Super Bowl of marketing events. The room at the Waldorf is filled with who's who in the media, marketing and agency worlds, and in one night you can literally see hundreds of the movers and shakers in the industry -- the networking is beyond compare, and that is simply the icing on the cake. This is an event that you cannot miss if you are in the ad business, and attendees come from all over the country.
This group of advertising and media executives are there to celebrate the great creative work that the Ad Council has produced in the past year. It is truly remarkable to understand that dozens of campaigns are selected each year by the Ad Council, which is lead by President and CEO Peggy Conlon. These ad campaigns are produced pro bono by some of the best advertising agencies in the world. This year the media companies donated $1.8 billion in space and time to showcase these commercials. We were treated to about 15 different advertisements over the course of the evening. The creative work is a spectacular coordination of advertising executives getting together to make this county a better place to live and the inspiration provided by the creative touched everyone in attendance.
When Brian Perkins, who runs all advertising and marketing for Johnson & Johnson (this year's Chairman of the advertising council) got up to make his remarks, the room listened intently as he spoke of the "personal passion" that everyone who was involved with this organization had demonstrated. It is just breathtaking to think that every year, the energy to create this body of work continues without any wavering. The passion was in the room.
I spoke to a few people that had never attended this event in the past and they were completely surprised at how proud they were that this organization was inspiring the room and millions of Americans with its great advertising. We all gasped when we heard that 49 million people in this great country go hungry every day. That blew everyone away. There were many others campaigns that made us all sit back and realize how good it feels to donate time and effort to good causes.
The evening also raised $2.5 million dollars (another record), which go a long way to help with the Ad Council's budget. I have been on the board of directors for 15 years and each year I am very proud to be a part of this great team and I am always amazed at how the passion grows every year.
The next time you see an ad from the Ad Council, just think about how incredible it is that there is a team dedicated to this mission and that they can change thoughts and actions of this country for the better.

PUNE: Staying back at work may not mark you as a performer, a productivity audit tool developed by a Pune tech firm reveals. It actually boils down to your specific work, its nature and duration. Sapience Analytics' eponymous solution provides employees with a daily balance-sheet of time spent at office and that spent on work. While staff can perform self-audit to improve productivity, managers can proactively identify delays in project delivery.
Sapience works best where people work 'inside the computer' like information technology, technology-enabled services and engineering. The technology works in the background, audits the time used on various software allowing managers to split the computer time for each team member between work and personal activity. The break-up shows up in an effort-mining dashboard with down-to-the-second classification.

"How does Facebook get away with it all? The answer is very, simple: We are ignorant. We are too trusting and far too kind when it comes to giving away our personal data. " (Source: girlmeetsgeek.com)
How would you feel if Facebook took your photo, or a photo of your children and allowed their advertisers to use your image for "social ads?" This is exactly what happened to Amy*, who had no idea Facebook used her image in such a careless and un-ethical way. No ad is off limits, from dating to laser-hair removal, our faces are being leased out to Facebook's advertisers. I've found that legitimate adveritsers utilize stock photos they own, or a trusted brand trademark for ads. Check out what happened to Amy, below:
Robert Headley notified me of the photo and we knew instantly, Amy would have had NO idea Facebook used her likeness. After internet sleuthing and Google Chrome's "Search By Image" plug-in, Robert was able to find Amy's photo on an internet meet-up site, and also on Facebook. Amy, a married mother of two, was shown on Robert's right-hand "ad-panel." Most people assume those photos are stock images. The fact is, many of the images used are carefully chosen and utilized for Ads, without the photo owner's consent. Facebook is currently in a Class Action Settlement with millions of users over the "Sponsored Stories" section of Facebook. I received my notice a couple weeks ago and joined the lawsuit. I have no way of ever knowing how my photo was used and when. You can see the full Class Action notice, here. Surely, Facebook wouldn't be trying to skirt the law again, after such a landmark case?
"A class action lawsuit against Facebook, Inc. ("Facebook") claimed that Facebook unlawfully used Class Members' names, profile pictures, photographs, likenesses, and identities to advertise or sell products and services through Sponsored Stories, without obtaining Class Members' consent. Facebook denies any wrongdoing and any liability whatsoever. No court or other entity has made any judgment or other determination of any liability." (Source: fraleyfacebooksettlement.com)
Since Amy and I were not friends, I paid money to send Amy a message, notifying her that Facebook was using her photo on the right-hand ads. I paid $1.00 so Amy could see the message right away.
Facebook had run-ins with the FTC since its inception. In 2011, Facebook paid for their privacy violations with a monumental sentence, to the FTC.
"Facebook is barred from making misrepresentations about the privacy or security of consumers' personal information; required to obtain consumers' affirmative express consent before enacting changes that override their privacy preferences; required to prevent anyone from accessing a user's material more than 30 days after the user has deleted his or her account; required to establish and maintain a comprehensive privacy program designed to address privacy risks associated with the development and management of new and existing products and services, and to protect the privacy and confidentiality of consumers' information; and required, within 180 days, and every two years after that for the next 20 years, to obtain independent, third-party audits certifying that it has a privacy program in place that meets or exceeds the requirements of the FTC order, and to ensure that the privacy of consumers' information is protected." (Source: ftc.gov)
I wrote in December 2011, we were the key to our Facebook woes. By using the free software, we allowed Facebook to OWN our identitites for use in their marketing and advertising. Our information was being sold for graph searches, and more. Facebook's own "User Data Policy," leaves very little left for users to ask, however, it's clear Facebook doesn't abide by their own policy. As users, we are automatically, "opted-in" to having our photos, likes, and data used without our permission. The only thing we can do, is to leave facebook. Even THAT is hard. Afterall, a deleted profile is still cached by Facebook and maintains data space in Facebook's vault.
Bottom Line: Protect Yourself
Your personal information is the most valuable commodity you own. Please consider watermarking your photos on Facebook and make sure all your settings are private. Also, secure your photos and privacy by following the steps outlined in the articles below.

Column by John Lohn, Swimming World senior writer
BASKING RIDGE, New Jersey, July 21. DO I think Cesar Cielo took a banned substance to enhance his performance? No. Do I think Cesar Cielo took Furosemide in order to mask his intake of a performance-enhancing drug? No. Do I think the Court of Arbitration for Sport should have ruled Cielo — and his three Brazilian teammates — ineligible for a period of time? Absolutely.
As you have almost certainly read earlier this morning, CAS ruled today that the warning given to Cielo, Henrqiue Barbosa and Nicholas dos Santos by the Brazilian Swimming Federation was enough of a penalty for the triumvirate testing positive for Furosemide at the Maria Lenk competition. Vinicus Waked was slapped with a one-year suspension because it was his second positive test.
In its defense, the threesome argued that the Furosemide was ingested because of cross-contamination in a caffeine supplement taken by Cielo, Barbosa and dos Santos. When the CAS panel ruled in favor of Cielo and Co., it cleared the way for Cielo to defend his titles in the 50 and 100 freestyle events at the World Championships, where swimming competition gets under way on Sunday. Seeing Cielo on the blocks will be disheartening.
From baseball to cycling to track & field to the long history of swimming, doping has been a major issue. No, I don't think Cesar Cielo was trying to cheat, despite the fact that Brazil doesn't exactly have a stellar record of late in the doping arena (there have been several positive tests from the country). Still, athletes are told all the time that they need to take responsibility for what they ingest, and now Cielo is let off the hook. A nasty precedent has been set.
In the days ahead, how many times do you think an athlete will fail a doping test and come up with the all-too-easy reply of, "Oh, there must have been contamination?" It's going to happen a great deal and, in situations where a penalty is unleashed, the athlete will be able to appeal the decision because of the precedent set forth by CAS in the Cielo case.
Many swimmers have taken to social-media outlets today expressing their disgust and anger over the Cielo verdict. Rightfully so! You can't blame the person who will step on the block next to Cielo and wonder, "Is this guy really on something? Is the playing field really equal?" And if Cielo wins another gold medal in international competition, you can't blame the crowd if they hold off on applause because the fans just aren't sure.
A uniform ruling is much needed in the sport, and it's a simple one. If you test positive for a substance that is on a banned list, you're going to be hit with a suspension. Maybe athletes will think a few more times before diving into the supplements game. Is it harsh? Maybe. But it's also the only way to make sure all are treated equally and drugs are not part of the sport.
This is a sad day for the sport, and the timing of this scenario is unfortunate because the focus in Shanghai should be on the talent of the athletes and the quality racing that will undoubtedly unfold. Instead, there will be questions about Cesar Cielo and whether he should even be there. CAS could have taken care of matters. Instead, it choked.

Some may be inspired to call her best kept secret, but anyone who leaves an imprint on every medium from radio, stage and television to the Hollywood screen is hardly incognito. Howell's talent has been featured as a nightclub singer "Goldie", in "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles", produced by George Lucas (Chicago and NY episodes, which also features veteran actor Keith David). Other roles on the small screen include "Linda", where she plays alongside master performers Richard Thomas (The Waltons) and Virginia Madsen (Sideways) and in "Scattered Dreams" with Tyne Daly (Judging Amy) and Alicia Silverstone (Clueless and Beauty Shop).
Her credibility as a true thespian flourished when she nailed a coveted role as the daughter of Maya Angelou's character in Langston Hughes' "Tambourines to Glory" stage play. She has worked with famed actor, director and producer, Tyler Perry in film, "Daddy's Little Girls" and in his TV sitcoms "Meet the Browns" and "House of Payne" (TBS).
She has appeared alongside actress Regina King, as her best friend in Lifetime Television's "Living Proof", starring Harry Connick, Jr. More credits she adds to her resume are, "Drop Dead Diva" (Lifetime), "Past Life" (FOX), "Vampire Diaries" (CW) and "The Blind Side", starring Sandra Bullock, "Detroit 1-8-7" (ABC), "The Game" (BET). "Field of Vision" (NBC), "Single Ladies" (VH1), "Necessary Roughness" (USA). "What To Expect When You're Expecting", starring Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock and Dennis Quaid. She also appeared in the Hallmark Hall of Fame's TV release of "Firelight", starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., where she plays the part of Mrs. Easle. She played the role of "Grace" in Eric Kripke, J.J. Abrams, and Jon Favreau's show, "Revolution" on NBC, which aired for 2 seasons.
Maria adds to her credits, the role of Atty Ida Hayes, alongside Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty), Judy Reyes (Scrubs), and Susan Lucci in Marc Cherry's "Devious Maids"(Season 1 on Lifetime) and "Hunger Games: Catching Fire", where she plays the part of "Seeder" (District 11). Zane's "Addicted" (role of Nina), as Bird's mom Delilah, on MTV's hit show, "Finding Carter". A very fun holiday movie that debuted at the 18th Annual Urban World Film Festival 2014, "Christmas Wedding Baby", (Miranda), followed by its TV premiere on BET (by award-winning director Kiara C. Jones). Most recently, Maria has completed filming on two projects. Writer/Director, Shea Sizemore's "The Next Day", about a couple processing grief on INSP TV's Moments.org, and coming in 2015, "Sons 2 The Grave", a film directed by famed actor, Mykelti Williamson - most known as "Bubba" in Forest Gump..

Weird tattoo choice, looks too meaningless. I think it's the first two reasons why you got a tattoo. It will hurt more if it was a big one.
I have my daughters name tattoo'd on the side of my ribs. Would you ever tattoo someone's name on your body? One of who you know you'll forever love?

Oh Cesar,
I am really shocked! But I like your tattoo. What does the pointed cross mean? You should be careful because it can become a habit and a fix.

OOMG! When I saw your foot I thought you was getting this gigantic tattoo and I was shocked like yeah - and then you just had this little cross (is it a croos) :P
btw. what happened to NYC, why are you hanging out in Europe all the time - I know it could be a coincidence or you just taking a break from the big noisy city.
Oh yeah, and I loved your post with Lucy in Belgium - you know I'm a fan of her :P anyways don't you (as in the people of Belgium) have this comic thing going on in Belgium? If so, you should have showed her those on buildings and so.

Dear Cesar,
Is the facebook picture you as a child? What a serious child! You sport a very similar look as an adult -- I think it is sort of early 60s SDS. I like your look with the bracelets and the hair as it is good and looks the most you. Oh dear, I have had a lot of ob-cessie compulsive cesarsalading today.

Try bats and pumpkin appliques.
I love the kitty dress with the ruffles on the skirt!
How about owls for a spooky look?
Apply this idea to any period or stop by a local fabric store for some novelty print Halloween quilting fabric. Shirt waist dresses are especially nice for novelty prints!

After excessive weight loss or pregnancy, breasts can lose volume and elasticity resulting in a more droopy appearance. Commonly referred to as a breast lift, mastopexy surgery raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Often times, patients are candidates for a breast lift with an added implant to not only improve the overall location of breasts but also assist in the replacement of volume that has been lost over time. The cost of this procedure may vary based on the experience of your surgeon, the type of implants that are chosen, and the geographic location of the office. When choosing a plastic surgeon, always remember that the surgeon's experience is vital and the comfort you feel with your surgeon are just as important as the final cost of surgery. Dr. Johnny Solomon has helped patients fulfill their desires for fuller, firmer, enhanced breasts.

Duran could never deal with Ray's lateral movement. Ironically Benitez didn't use lateral movement with feet and he beat Duran easily. When Duran fought Benitez, I thought Duran could do better, but Benitez's upper movement is what beat Duran. I didn't think he could that easily. I had it a pickem fight in 1982. Hard to believe that fight was almost 31 year ago.
OK, this is supposed to funny, right?
"beaten Duran easily like e did the other two times..." You mean the time when the SRL team was smart enough to sign Duran to a rematch 5 months later because they rightly knew Duran would not train and would be partying the whole time. And all credit to them for this wise tactic. But really, the cards were very close at No Mas. Had a Duran as prepared as the Montreal version showed up in New Orleans it would have been another very close fight. Or do you mean the 38 year old Duran who was a lot more miss than hit and seemingly showed up for a paycheck. Is that version of Duran a pelt on which to hang your cap?
Again, all credit to Leonard for New Orleans. But nothing about it was easy. He had the correct tactic of a quick rematch and still it was close.
Does anyone even remember that Duran was the World Lightweight Champion for SIX YEARS and that was his peak?

Outpatient behavioral health providers play a crucial role in preventing suicides.
Studies have shown that a substantial proportion of people who died by suicide had either been in treatment or had some recent contact with a mental health professional. Yet many providers report that they feel inadequately trained to assess, treat, and manage suicidal patients or clients.
Assessing & Managing Suicide Risk: Core Competencies for Mental Health Professionals meets providers' need for research-informed, skills-based training.
AMSR is a one-day training for mental health professionals, including:
6.5 continuing education credits are available from NASW, NBCC, APA, CA Board of Behavioral Sciences, KY MFT credits and Continuing Medical Education Credits (CME).
Evaluations of AMSR have shown statistically significant gains in participant knowledge as evidenced by pre- and post-training assessment scores.
Participants reported experiencing increased confidence and competence in assessing and managing suicidal patients.
AMSR's training coordinator can help your organization assess the feasibility of having a workshop in your area. It may be easier and less expensive than you think. For more information, including the price of AMSR workshops and trainers available in your area, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Street is running a three part series on the popularity of second-hand goods in a down economy and, in the second part of the series, which focuses on the used videogames market, Wedbush analyst Ed Woo pegged 2009's used videogame market at "close to $2 billion."
Woo said that figure represented 10 percent growth and added that he expects the sector to grow again in 2010. The article further claims that GameStop, which does not break out used videogame sales in its financial results, "bases nearly 80% of its bricks-and-mortar business on trade-ins."
The used games market, in a statement attributed to Scott Steinberg, CEO of the Tech Savvy Global consulting firm, "is costing game developers billions of dollars each year." Steinberg added that, "The pressure is so crippling, many publishers are trying to find ancillary means and testing out pilot programs that can generate revenue."
Economist Dian Chu was asked if the prolonged "thrifty behavior" of Americans could have a significant impact on the economy. Chu replied, "We're spenders. I don't believe that saving behavior will change or last long enough to have a significant impact on our economy."
Of course, the article also claims that the Lord of the Rings Online operates under a monthly subscription model; the game went free-to-play on September 10.
In related news, the website of Fox's Dallas affiliate features a story on a pair of twin brothers who started a used game business while still in college. The home-based business generated $300,000 in sales last year and the brothers are expecting to hit $500,000 this year.

Global rating agency Moody's today said Bhutan election results signal closer economic ties with India and it would be credit positive for India.
On 13 July, Bhutan held its second elections since the country transitioned to a democracy in 2008 from a Monarchy, handing the majority in Parliament to the former opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP).
"The PDP platform emphasises rebuilding Bhutan's ties with India, which were strained by the previous administration's political overtures to China," Moody's said in a statement.
Maintaining India's robust provision of aid and its consumption of hydropower exports is credit positive for Bhutan, it said.
"The small Himalayan nation is geographically wedged between India and China, which have competing interests in the region", it said, adding, "but Indian foreign policy seeks to keep Bhutan well within its sphere of interest".
Maintaining close ties with India will ensure that Bhutan's neighbour to the southwest continues to import electricity and fund further hydropower development.
In 2012, India's purchases comprised approximately 90 per cent of total electricity sales from Bhutan's plants.
Bhutan's electricity exports generate revenue for the government, as well as Indian rupee inflows, allowing it to finance the large public debt.
In addition to trade flows, it said, India provides significant budgetary support in the form of grants.
Bhutan's USD 1.8 billion economy has been growing quickly, averaging 10 per cent growth in real terms over the past five years, driven by the development of hydropower.

A late-night fire on Monday damaged a garage at a home in the 6700 block of Northeast 78th Street, east of Hazel Dell.
No one was injured in the blaze.
The call started as a single-engine response to smoke in the area, Capt. Kevin Murray with Vancouver Fire Department said.
Firefighters in the engine could smell something burning and eventually found a column of smoke in the area. They had trouble finding the exact location because the home is located off a 300-foot driveway, Murray said.
The fire was "going pretty good" in a garage that was attached to the home by a breezeway, Murray said.
Firefighters used a water tender to douse the flames instead of laying hundreds of feet of hose from the nearest hydrant.
"Sometimes it's easier to bring a water tender," Murray said.
Firefighters made forcible entry to the garage and house and found no one there. They were able to put the fire out after several minutes.
The fire caused $18,000 in structural damage and $14,000 in loss of contents, said Clark County Deputy Fire Marshal Susan Anderson.
County property records show the home is owned by Nicolae and Lidia Magda.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

DOUGLAS, Ariz. —
Much of this dusty border city is separated from Mexico by a fence consisting of 12-foot vertical metal bars, spaced inches apart.
Surveillance cameras are mounted on nearby towers, and Border Patrol agents posted in the desert scrub and flowering ocotillo watch for anyone who might try to scale, cut through, slip under or sneak around the fence.

Although the fences are criticized for shifting would-be border-crossers to more dangerous and remote spots, they make it harder for illegal immigrants to reach urban areas where it's easier to slip away.
Congress is considering putting many more such barriers along the 1,952-mile border, which has 83 miles of fences.
House bills passed in December and again last week would add fences in all four border states. New fences, at a cost of $2.5 billion, would cover 698 miles — almost one-fifth the length of the Great Wall of China, though not in one continuous wall. The Senate has approved 370 miles of fences, mostly in California and Arizona, and 500 miles of vehicle barriers.
Gaps would be policed as many remote areas are now: with motion sensors, cameras, unmanned drone aircraft and Border Patrol agents.
The House calls for a mostly continuous, 361-mile fence from Calexico, Calif., to Douglas. The second-largest piece would be a 176-mile segment in Texas from Laredo to Brownsville.
Immigrant-rights groups say fences waste taxpayer money because would-be border-crossers who are desperate to earn a better living will find a way around or through barriers. The groups cite lower sections of the fence in Douglas, where rods have been welded into place to patch up breaches.
Even some proponents say fencing, without other enforcement efforts, will not stop illegal immigrants.
But the Border Patrol says fences slow immigrants and free up agents to focus on remote areas, where aircraft and ground sensors are used.
"Fencing by itself is not effective, but not having a fence is not effective, either," said Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
Advocates say a 14-mile fence near San Diego, once the nation's most prolific smuggling center, shows that barriers work. That fence is made of corrugated metal sheets. Behind it is a second fence, made of tightly woven mesh.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., the leading voice in Congress for more fences, said the costs of building fences are much lower than expenses associated with illegal immigration, including jailing immigrants convicted of crimes.
But immigrant-rights advocates say fences prompt migrants to cross in remote areas with dangerous obstacles — rivers where some drown, deserts where some succumb to heat, mountains where some are injured or die.
Also, a large-scale fence could force immigrants to stay in the country longer, instead of returning home, said Angela Kelley, deputy director of the pro-immigrant National Immigration Forum. "If it's riskier and harder, people don't leave," she said.
In Douglas, retired rancher Louis Hahn said the fence reduces traffic in the city. But he said it is simplistic to think a barrier will trump economic forces that prompt fathers to leave their families for a chance at a better life.
"You have got to put yourself in the position of the man crossing the border and what he's willing to take," he said.

Black Charities starts dialogue about potential job creation at new Baltimore casino
Associated Black Charities (ABC) hosted a conversation, Oct. 3, with the leadership from Harrah's Baltimore, the new casino being developed for downtown and the Maryland State Lottery, which governs the eligibility for employment in the casino.
Representatives from numerous community organizations and workforce development agencies attended to learn more about the eligibility criteria for potential employees; how they could begin to prepare the community for upcoming opportunities; to increase public awareness and to learn specifics about the actual positions they may be available.
ABC's goal in hosting this conversation was to help residents in Baltimore City and the surrounding communities and organizations that have access to large populations in need of employment to be better positioned to take advantage of these upcoming opportunities and increase the odds in hiring.
The Mayor's Office of Employment Development will ultimately have the lead on connecting people to those job opportunities.
The event was free and held at ABC headquarters on Cathedral Street.
