U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Fire Companies Had Barred Older Firefighters From Receiving Service Credits in Retirement Benefit Plan, Agency Charged
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Town of Clarence, N.Y., and the Clarence, Harris Hill, East Amherst and Swormville Fire Protection Districts and Volunteer Fire Companies will pay $441,740 to settle a class age discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The damages will be made in retroactive payments to a group of 35 firefighters, including the beneficiaries for eight deceased firefighters who had been discriminated against based on their age. Several firefighters will also receive increased monthly pension amounts going forward.
The EEOC's lawsuit charged that the town and the fire departments refused to let volunteer firefighters over age 62 accrue service credit under their "Length of Service Award Programs" or "LOSAPs," the equivalent of a retirement pension, because of their age. The suit further charged that the East Amherst Fire Protection District and Volunteer Fire Company prohibited volunteer firefighters over the age 55 from accruing credit. As a result, the senior firefighters kept working but did not receive credit for their service once they reached the maximum age. The EEOC said this age restriction constituted a violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), a federal law that protects workers age 40 and older from age discrimination.
Although the fire companies amended their LOSAPs in January 2006 to allow firefighters to continue to earn award credit without regard to age, they did not credit those firefighters for the years in which they had lost out. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, Civ. No. 1:11-CV-00286, on March 30 after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement, following an investigation by the EEOC's Buffalo Local Office.
Elizabeth Grossman, EEOC regional attorney for the New York District Office, said, "We are pleased the firefighters will finally receive the compensation they are rightfully due for their years of firefighting and bravery."
EEOC Trial Attorney Judith A. Biltekoff added, "We appreciate the fire departments' efforts to resolve this matter without protracted litigation."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

How To Throw A Changeup (Not Recommended)
Here's a quick lesson on how to throw a wicked changeup.
Have someone step on your pitching hand and break the index finger.
Use the mangled digit to put unusual spin on the ball.
Voila! It's that simple.
Or at least it is for PawSox reliever Marcus McBeth.
(photos courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Marcus began his pro baseball career as an outfielder in the Oakland Athletics organization. He was playing centerfield in 2003 when an opponent hit a pop-up that caused McBeth and two teammates to converge. Marcus tried to make a diving catch and a teammate stepped on the index finger of his right hand and shattered it.
McBeth missed the last six weeks of the '03 season and was unable to play for eight months. One doctor told him he might never be able to throw a baseball again and to this day he cannot straighten that finger.
And it might have saved his career.
Marcus converted from outfielder to pitcher in 2005 and believe it or not, the broken finger is the key to his devastating changeup. When Marcus grips the ball for that pitch, the permanently bent knuckle on his right index finger presses tightly on the side of the ball. McBeth doesn't have to do anything else – he just throws the ball as hard as he can and it floats to the plate 10-15 mph slower than his fastball with movement.
His "Bugs Bunny" changeup is helping Marcus post sensational numbers in 2009 – he's 2-0 with 3 saves and a 2.00 ERA. International League hitters are only hitting .160 against him.
And now you know why.
* * * * *
I had the opportunity to golf with pitcher Charlie Zink recently and witnessed a very amusing moment. About midway through our round, a groundskeeper pulled up in a golf cart holding a baseball and asked Charlie to show him how to throw a knuckleball.
Charlie kindly obliged and the young man happily went back to work.
Zink, by the way, is an exceptional golfer who shot a 74 from the back tees the day we played.
He's also had two holes-in-one – the first one when he was 11-years-old and the second one when he was 12-years-old.
Charlie hasn't had another ace in the last 17 years, but there is a nice thing about having them at such an early age – you're not expected to buy a drink for everyone at the 19th hole.

After calling the first two games of the Syracuse series on Cox Sports TV, I'll be back on the radio with Steve Hyder on Monday night for a 7:05 game against the Chiefs. We have a good pitching matchup to look forward to as Michael Bowden (3-4, 3.11) faces Syracuse's ace J.D. Martin (8-2, 2.31). I hope you'll join us for the radio call beginning with the pre-game show at 6:50.
I'd love to hear from you. The address is email@example.com.

Editor's note: The candidates for mayor and the Vergennes city council spoke in a forum hosted by American Legion Post 14 on Thursday night. This article focuses on the two mayoral candidates. An article in our Thursday edition will focus on the five candidates for three seats on the city council.
By ANDY KIRKALDY
VERGENNES — At a forum at American Legion Post 14 on Thursday night, two Vergennes mayoral candidates with long public service résumés — incumbent April Jin and challenger Michael Daniels — differed on approaches to financial questions, the amount of time each could devote to the job, and the future role of volunteerism in solving some of the city's problems.

MIDDLEBURY — Voters in 17 Addison County towns on March 6 will vote on the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center's $3,079,821 budget, a 0.16 percent increase that keeps the spending plan technically level-funded. Voters will also be asked to approve an additional $143,261, next year's budget for the Adult Technical Education Program, which has increased by 4.1 percent.
Career Center director Lynn Coale said the major contributing factor to next year's level-funding was the reduction in the center's debt related to last spring's $4.3 million North Campus addition off Mainelli Road.
According to the Career Center's business manager Mark Bouvier, as a result of the construction the center's budget last year included $85,000 in short term borrowing funds as well as the project's annual principal payment of $110,000 plus interest — the Center bonded a total of $2,170,000.

BRISTOL — The Slow Food movement — as a counter to the "fast food" movement — isn't about slow service in the same way that "fast food" is about the speedy delivery of mass produced foods. But it is about producing foods with local products, celebrating local kitchen culture, and observing the importance of quality foods in our lives.
At a recent gathering in Mary's at Baldwin's Creek, a Bristol restaurant, invited guests relished an evening of dining produced primarily from locally-raised foods at a reunion of people devoted to the cause of slow food.
According to John Elder of Bristol, Middlebury College professor of environmental studies and maple sugar maker, Slow Food International "celebrates and promotes the value of traditional food in local cultures."

BRIDPORT — A heartfelt debate on the pros and cons of a bill in the Legislature that would stop the practice of Vermont dairy farmers paying milk hauling fees enlivened Monday's Legislative Breakfast, which was held at the home of the series' sponsor, Bridport Grange No. 303.
The bill, now in the Senate Agriculture Committee, would make it illegal for farmers to pay "hauling and stop" charges to the companies that deliver their milk, as has been the practice for decades. Essentially, farmers, who are facing growing financial pressures and historically low milk prices, are the ones who pay to have their milk picked up when they sell it, not the companies that buy it.
BRISTOL — On the wall of the Bristol Bakery between the main dining area and the back door, a customer can find several portraits to the left of the bulletin board. The pictures are by students at Mount Abraham Union High School, but they are not your typical school art project. They depict orphans from the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar based on photographs mailed to art students, and when they leave the bakery, they will be mailed back to those children.
"This is meant to be a gift that stresses their individuality and importance to the world," said MAUHS art teacher Elise Cleary, who helped organize the portrait painting. "These kids don't have much, and they move around a lot."
February 19, 2007
ADDISON COUNTY — Little could have prepared Salisbury dairy farmer Lee Ann Goodrich for what she saw the morning after Wednesday's blizzard dumped two-to-three feet of snow on the area.
When a farmhand went to the barn around 3:30 a.m. Thursday to milk, he found the structure's roof had almost completely collapsed, killing at least 40 cows.
"We're afraid we're going to lose more," said Goodrich, who runs the farm with her husband, Ernie, and father-in-law Don Goodrich.
The death toll at the Goodrich farm was especially painful, but several other barns around the county and state also suffered damage due to the heavy snowfall. In all, at least a dozen Vermont farms lost all or part of their barn roofs on Wednesday or Thursday, including the Goodriches' and barns in Shoreham, New Haven and Weybridge.
FERRISBURGH — In another close vote Ferrisburgh residents on Thursday said no, 276-259, to a potential $750,000 purchase by the town of a 34-acre Route 7 parcel. The land includes a home and barn and lies next to Ferrisburgh Central School and the future home of new town offices.
Thursday's balloting was a petitioned revote of December vote in which residents backed the deal, 242-218. The $750,000 includes $700,000 for the purchase price and $50,000 for septic work already done on the parcel, which will regardless provide in-ground septic service to the school and future town offices.
The facts that the votes were close and contradictory and that many residents may have found voting on Thursday difficult after the Valentines' Day blizzard may make reading the tea leaves difficult for town officials.

She's already asked us, "Find Me The Pulse Of The Universe," and provided us with "The Rule Of The Game." Now yet another entree to the Silencio speakeasy affirms itself on the horizon, just as apocalyptic weather changes lives across the globe. And like the weather, the video for "Lightning Thunderbolt" strikes once before your eyes and twice behind your mind. The final angle of a video triangle supporting Laetitia Sadier's "spry, melodic, and totally charming" (Uncut) new album, Silencio, "Lightning Thunderbolt" dazzles with hypnotic imagery.
Timing is everything with Laetitia - so for a chanteuse toting music with an often political message, it's entirely appropriate for her European tour to kick off the day before the presidential elections in America, isn't it? Well it is to us sitting here in the US of A, anyway, and provides us with a pleasant distraction knowing that, while we often dream of being anywhere but here, we'd mostly prefer to be front row at a Laetitia Sadier show! Just so long as we vote first, you know? Gotta take care of things on the home front, you know Mme. Sadier would concur. This is the most comprehensive trip through the UK for Laetitia in more than a minute, making the European dates all the more precious - or as we prefer to think, absolutely and totally essential! Which happens to be the way we'd describe the UK dates, matter o' fact! All kidding aside, the Silencio tour kicks off at The Deaf Institute in Manchester, November 5th - see (and hear) you there - more dates after the video!

Boston Herald
April 16, 2013
Bay State residents can expect the massive security surge prompted by the marathon bombing to continue throughout the week, with Copley Square under lockdown, the Common converted into a National Guard staging area and a flood of law enforcement officials patrolling Boston — even as city officials urged residents to return to work as normal.
"The city of Boston will be open, but it will not be business as usual," said Gov. Deval Patrick, later adding that life in the city is "not going to be easy, simple or regular."
Patrick said the National Guard has secured a 15-block crime scene and is limiting access in the area, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken over the probe into who planted the explosives.
"There will be a heightened law enforcement presence. People should expect delays," he said.

NBA trade deadline: 'Nothing imminent' on Dion Waiters deal
There has been talk, going back to December, that the Cleveland Cavaliers were eager to move second-year guard Dion Waiters, who has struggled to get along with star point guard Kyrie Irving on the court and in the locker room. Teams continue to call the Cavs about Waiters, but as a source told Sporting News on Tuesday there is "nothing imminent there" on a Waiters trade.
In fact, one league executive said, "It seems like they are going to keep him."
Despite a 20-33 record, Cleveland is considered a buyer at Thursday's deadline, because the team is eager to make a playoff push in the frightful Eastern Conference. Waiters has been offered for veteran help, the hope being that more experience in the locker room will help ease some of the Cavs' chemistry problems.
MORE: Melo wants Knicks to consult with him | All-Star Game photo gallery
But the Cavaliers are asking a high price for Waiters. They don't want to simply give him away, especially not with the team having headed into the All-Star break on a four-game winning streak. Over the break, Irving said that Cleveland players held a meeting following the firing of general manager Chris Grant and the chemistry has been better since.
That is in large part thanks to interim GM David Griffin, who took over for Grant and helped bridge whatever divide had developed between Waiters and Irving.
The bigger issue is the perception that trading Waiters would leave. Cleveland had the No. 1 pick in last year's draft and used it on Anthony Bennett, who has struggled mightily as a rookie. Waiters, averaging 14.3 points on 41.7 percent shooting, was chosen with the No. 4 pick the previous year, and not getting a good return for him will cast an even more obvious pall on the Cavaliers' drafting operation.
Even with Grant out, the team does not want that, and would be willing to give Waiters and Irving another chance to work together.

WASHINGTON – When Mike Allen left his childhood home in Rossmoor at 18 to go to college in rural Virginia, with dreams of working in the nation's capital, no one could have predicted how influential he would become.
Thirty-one years later, Allen is the chief White House correspondent for Politico, the hometown news source for the politically minded in Washington, D.C., and beyond. He is well-respected and well-sourced. He is a regular talking head, popping up on political talk shows like MSNBC's "Morning Joe," among others. In 2010, Allen was the subject of an 8,000-plus-word profile in The New York Times Magazine, called "The Man the White House Wakes Up To."
And it's all because of an email.
Like many great ideas, Politico's Playbook started small.
It was an email from Allen to his two bosses, a morning aggregation of the day's top storylines. In 2007, shortly after Politico started, it seemed a smart way to quickly and consistently communicate what was happening.
Soon, the internal went external, and Allen's memo to his bosses morphed into an agenda-setting email sent daily to many of the nation's most influential people. It's a quick scan, breaking down the news into categories like Breaking, Top Talker, Driving the Day, and the gosh-there's-more-to-life-than-politics of Sports Blink and Birthdays.
Three measures of success: Allen's Playbook commands $35,000 a week from each advertiser. His email address list – a who's who of Washington – numbers about 100,000. And, Politico has rolled out a dozen more Playbook-like email newsletters with titles like Morning Defense, Morning Technology and Huddle.
"Playbook is aimed at what are people going to be talking about tomorrow," says Allen, a resident of Arlington, Va. "If you care about something, you probably already know it. So, the opportunity is not in telling people what happened, but helping them think about, and understand, what has happened."
Interviewing Allen is a lot like being interviewed by Allen. A recent sit-down with Allen included a solid 40 minutes of him asking questions about, among other things, the direction of the Orange County Register and the plans of its new owners. He sought opinion about Jeff Bezos, the new owner of one of his former employers, The Washington Post, as well.
That relentless curiosity about many things and many people isn't fake. He has always worked hard, too. He was an Eagle Scout in Seal Beach, and his work ethic is legendary within the Beltway. To put out Playbook, and send it to his loyal followers every day, he rises before 4 a.m. and sifts through thousands of emails and articles to churn out briefs on the day's top 10 to 12 stories.
"People always want it earlier and they always want it shorter," he says. "So those are the two things we're always working on."
Maybe the most interesting thing about the almost-folklore of Mike Allen is that for all of the reverie, and for all of the influence, few people outside the Beltway's entrenched political class have heard of him.
For example: A recent study by New York magazine found that Allen is the most-followed journalist on Twitter by members of Congress. All told, he has 197,000 Twitter followers, a number that's small potatoes compared with, say, the 4.2 million who follow news anchor Anderson Cooper of CNN. Cooper, however, does not crack the top 10 of those followed by members of the House and Senate.
Allen, the journalist, doesn't say much when asked about Allen, the influencer.
"Our goal is to help people do their jobs better. To live their lives better… To have a clearer vision of what's going to happen."
Allen showed up for lunch earlier this week carrying a gift (a hard copy of a Harvard study connected to that morning's news cycle), a trait that colleagues recognize as typical of Allen. It's both a gift and a conversation starter, "Here, I brought this for you …"
Though he's entrenched in D.C., he still identifies fondly with his Orange County roots. He also pays attention, professionally, to California.
"California is the great laboratory," Allen says. "It's true in politics, just as it is in fashion and films: If it's happening in California it's eventually going to happen elsewhere.
"That's why there's so much fascination with California."
Allen was an early convert to journalism. He wrote for the school paper while attending Valley Christian High School in Cerritos, and went to Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., to major in politics and journalism, and because of the school's proximity to the capital.
An interest in politics runs in the family. His father, Gary Allen, was an author and activist in the John Birch Society, a group known at the time for objecting to moderate Republican positions and for being strongly anti-communist. Gary Allen wrote speeches for George Wallace, the former governor of Alabama and presidential candidate.
The younger Allen says he's proud of his late father, and remembers him fondly. But he won't talk about his own politics, whatever they may be. Allen says he, like his employer, Politico, strives to be "extremely nonpartisan."
That's partially due to Allen's journalistic pedigree and partly about business.
"We're here to serve everyone," Allen says of Politico and his own work. "We serve Republicans; we serve Democrats. Politico, from day one, has been very devoted to that."
It's also a way for Allen to satisfy his lifelong goal – to cover the power of Washington.
"Politics is a fascinating way to see not only how people get and use power, but also how humans behave," Allen says. "If you want to tell the stories of our time, a great way to do that is through politics because that's a lens that gives you a sense of what the great issues are going to be, what appeals to people.
"That's why I've always found it both exciting and worthwhile."
Mike Allen, 49, was raised in Rossmoor, California, but went east to attend college and to be close to the nation's capital.

News Release
NASD Launches Analyst Disclosure Investor Education Initiative
Washington, DC— The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD®) has launched an investor education effort aimed at helping investors understand research and recommendations made by equity analysts. The NASD has prepared a Guide to Understanding Securities Analyst Recommendations and an accompanying Glossary of Analyst Research Terms. The Guide explains what analysts do and the role that they can play in making an informed investment decision. The Guide and Glossary can be found at www.nasd.com.
Analysts play an important role in capital markets. But investors need to educate themselves about the role of analysts. In today's fast-changing investment climate, it is often hard for investors to know where to turn for objective guidance about industry trends and issues that may affect their interests. Analyst recommendations are just such an issue. Strengthening that understanding is the purpose of this Guide.
The Guide covers two basic types of issues. The first stems from the fact that analysts' ratings today do not have clear, standardized meanings. The second relates to the potential conflicts of interest that an investor should be aware of in assessing the usefulness of any particular analyst recommendation.
In addition, a Glossary of Analyst Research Terms is also available to help investors better understand many of the investment terms found in analyst research reports about stocks, bonds, and other investments.
"In preparing this Guide, we hope to assist both current and potential investors in successfully navigating through the large amount of financial information that is available today. Analysts can be a source of valuable information, but only if their role in the financial community is well understood," said Mary L. Schapiro, President of NASD Regulation, Inc.
The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) is the largest securities-industry, self-regulatory organization in the United States. It is the parent of NASD Regulation, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, LLC and NASD Dispute Resolution, Inc. For more information about the NASD and its subsidiaries, please visit the following Web sites: www.nasd.com; www.nasdr.com; www.amex.com; www.nasdadr.com.

Hi there,
just bought Frozen Cortex and I can just say, it's been a really awesome game so far that I certainly will be playing for quite a while.
There seems to be a bug with my custom game that uses the files for rules, field and teams as uploaded. When I use these rules and start the game, there are no players on the field. I cannot seem to figure out the problem.
UPDATE: I have tried incrementally doing the changes to a plain vanilla game and all the set options work fine until the moment where I (as the last step) try to use my custom playing field, so the error obviously lies there. Either there is some bug in applying the field or the field editor is missing some kind of validation.
SECOND UPDATE: This problem also happens with a plain vanilla custom playing field (using the editor default without changing anything).
Custom Game starts with no players present

by John Tlumacki, Boston Globe
Thirty years ago, officials at the now-defunct Metropolitan District Commission put into writing what many Bostonians regarded as obvious to anyone with a nose: the lower Charles River wasn't safe for swimming, and it never would be.
Fast forward to last Saturday, when the first sanctioned swim at the Esplanade in decades took place, and two things are clear. First, Boston, Cambridge, and other river communities are reclaiming a wonderful recreational asset for swimming and boating. Second, be skeptical of public officials warning about what can't be done.
It has taken millions of dollars and decades of work, but the cleanup of the Charles is yielding amazing results. In 1995, the federal Environmental Protection Agency started its Clean Charles River Initiative, with the explicit goal of making the river swimmable and fishable. Tests show the river is safe for swimming more than half the time, and almost always safe for boating.
Healing the river will take more time; the riverbed is still layered with four centuries of chemicals, garbage, and other gunk. But the swim on Saturday shouldn't be the last.

James C. Smith is chairman and CEO of Webster Financial Corp. and Webster Bank. He was elected CEO in 1987 and chairman in 1995. Smith joined Webster Bank in 1975. He was elected president, chief operating officer and a director of Webster Bank in 1982 and of Webster in 1986. He served as president of Webster and Webster Bank until 2000, and again from 2008 through 2011. We spoke with him about Webster's third-quarter performance and about the bank in general.
PBN: Webster Bank reported an unusually high increase in the amount of deposits in the third quarter. Why?
SMITH: Part of it is due to good cultivation of the relationships with our clients as they consolidate their deposits into Webster Bank. We also think that clients continue to be risk-averse and they appreciate the benefit of being in a sound institution with deposit insurance in lieu of other investments they may make.
PBN: To what do you attribute your marked increase in the bank's commercial lending program?
SMITH: First, it speaks well of the market. It's not growing at the pace that any of us would like but the important thing is that there is some modest growth. On the residential side, the housing market has turned and offers growth opportunity for the region. Webster has also done very well in attracting business from other lenders as clients like the idea of having a strong regional bank as their primary bank.
PBN: Consumer loans decreased by about $34 million over the quarter. What does that say about the market?
SMITH: I would look at consumer loans as representing home equity credit lines and loans. What we are seeing is likely the further retrenchment of the consumer, which is why the consumer's debt to net worth has been declining. Consumers have been borrowing less on their homes in terms of second mortgage loans, and people with second mortgages have been converting them into firsts. So, one may look like it's shrinking but the totality is that they are growing. Also, consumer credit is growing modestly right now.
PBN: Has Webster taken any deliberate action to increase commercial loans to spur the economy?
SMITH: We have hired a large number of bankers over the last few years because we said near the end of 2009 that we were going to help finance the economic recovery. We feel we have done just that; we have put out over $6 billion in new loans over the last three years.
PBN: Webster's report seems to indicate that perhaps the economy has begun to turn a corner. Any comments?
SMITH: Things in general have gotten better. Banks must remember that to a large degree, they are a reflection of the economic health of the communities they serve. There is a cycle of confidence between us and our customers; the more we are there for them, the more they have confidence in us. But we are also a catalyst for positive improvement and we proactively work with our clients.

Four-disc Guild Wars 2 soundtrack signed by composer
Guild Wars 2's soundtrack will not be available as part of the MMO's Collector's Edition only. In fact, that will be the not-so-expansive version, it would seem; a much meatier, four-disc version will be available from DirectSong.
Furthermore, each copy will be signed personally by composer Jeremy Soule, which is an awfully nice bonus to have. You may want to step on it though as the offer is only good until supplies last.
The soundtrack is available for pre-order now, for $29.99, here.
Soule signed all Skyrim soundtracks as well. Catch the video below for a peek on how that turned out:

Jason Aldean Sells Out NYC's Madison Square Garden in Less Than 10 Minutes
New York City is all about country music. Jason Aldean's NYC-area fans answered the call, as the singer's Madison Square Garden show on his 2013 Night Train tour sold out in less than 10 minutes. The show is scheduled for March 2. Clearly, the Big Apple can't wait for Aldean to take a big ol' bite out of it.
Madison Square Garden is billed as the world's most famous arena, and Aldean is going to take hold of the historic venue for a night. This is a massive addition to his list of career accomplishments. Congrats, Jason.
This is getting to be old (cowboy) hat for Aldean, as several of the tour stops sold out as soon as they went on sale.
Other sold out dates include the University of Georgia's Sanford Stadium on April 13, as well as the two-night stand at Boston's Fenway Park, which is set for July 12 and 13. Aldean's show at Wrigley Field in Chicago, set for July 20, is also sold out.
"I think people underestimate country music's popularity in New York City," Aldean acknowledged in a press statement, admitting he is raring to go. "The Garden is one of those places every artist dreams of playing. I am blown away that my show sold out that quickly...it makes me even more excited to hit rehearsals this month and get the Night Train tour on the road. I can't wait to see you, New York!"
Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett will serve as the tour's opening acts, warming up the crowd for the 'My Kinda Party' singer.

Gizmo lists the best free Android apps
Android powered smart devices, including smart phones and tablets, are currently outselling the other major smart operating systems by a huge margin. While published figures differ, some pundits allege that Android devices outsell Apple's iOS and Microsoft's Windows (smart device versions) by factors of between three or seven to one. According to Wikipedia, as of October 2012, Android powered smart phones had captured 75 percent of the market, with more than 500 million devices currently using Android. Approximately 1.3 million new Android devices are activated on an average day.
Android is an operating system currently developed and distributed by Google, but it is really a Linux based, open source operating system. Google operates the Google Play Store, the primary source of applications or "apps," for Android, containing in excess of 700,000 Android apps. With so many apps available, many of them for free, the half-billion Android users may be unaware of which apps had been independently reviewed and rated such that they may better meet the Android users' needs. For Android users looking for these independent ratings and reviews such that they can find the top rated apps, the popular Web site, Gizmo (techsupportalert.com), gladly obliges.
Gizmo, a pseudonym, is a real person who is the Webmaster of a massive collection of software reviews covering almost every major operating system, including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and others. The ratings and reviews displayed for each software title are a summary of the scores given by members of a large community of thousands of international volunteers who often present diverse opinions.
For Android users, techsupportalert.com has several sections dedicated to Android apps. For those looking for the newest reviews and latest apps, Gizmo has a page "Android Apps: New and Updated Reviews" at techsupportalert.com/mobile-apps/android. On the right margin of that same webpage is a directory of hyperlinks for categories of Android apps, all with the prefix "Best Free" including Web Browser, Antivirus, File Manager, eBook Reader, Media Player, Music player and organizer, App Launcher, Image Editor, Image Viewer, and PDF Reader. Clicking on one of the listed "Best Free" hyperlinks directly opens detailed reviews and evaluations of the top-rated apps in each of the categories. These hyperlinks are a fast and effective way to locate many of the best apps available out of the hundreds of thousands listed at the Google Play Store.
For those interested in an even more comprehensive menu of rated Android Apps, Gizmo offers a master directory of Android apps at techsupportalert.com/best-free-android-apps.htm. Frequently updated, this menu currently has an even dozen headings including Home and Office apps, Multimedia, Disk and File Tools, Security and Privacy, Internet and e-mail, Phone and Messaging, Personal Development, Games, and several other headings.
As a sample, I clicked on the "Personal Development" link, which opened a page headed "11. Best Free Personal Development for Android." The page displayed a brief review of the best (highest rated by the Gizmo community of reviewers) app in each category. One that I found listed as a "best," which I promptly downloaded, was listed as "Best Free Astronomy Software for Android – Google Sky Map (2.2 MB)."
"Point your device at the night sky or browse the skies in manual mode from anywhere at anytime and it helps you identify the stars, planets, constellations and other celestial objects with labels. You can also zoom and search the objects with this absolutely fun and good educational app," the description said.
Always being concerned with device security, I opened the category "7 Best Free Security and Privacy for Android," which included sub-directories of Anti-malware, Apps Protection, Password Manager, Private Gallery (photo and media security), and a Device Tracker. While somewhat controversial, I choose to have comprehensive security devices on all of my Android (and other) devices. Of the free security suites available for Android, several of which are listed online at techsupportalert.com/content/best-free-antivirus-app-android.htm, my personal choice is the community top-rated Avast! Mobile Security. Other highly rated free security apps include Zoner Antivirus Free (which has a dedicated tablet version), Sophos Security & Antivirus, Dr. Web Antivirus Lite, AVG Antivirus Free, Lookout Mobile Security, and Comodo Mobile Security & Antivirus Free.
Of the free Android security apps, I agree with Gizmo that Avast! Mobile Security is very good, and worthy of its top community rating, 9 out of 10 stars. According to the rating and evaluation community at Gizmo, "avast! Mobile Security has established itself as one of the most complete security apps for Android by trying to cover every possible security concern we users may have and is officially designated as the Top Pick for this category."
There are many true believers, including some of the Android developers at Google, who claim that comprehensive security on an Android device may be unnecessary and ineffective because apps run in a sandbox, or isolated system area that cannot access other system resources, unless access is explicitly approved by the user. These permissions are typically displayed on the Google Play Store listing for the apps prior to their download and installation. Several of the security publishers disagree, alleging that there are some very real threats to Android devices. As posted on Wikipedia, TrendMicro claims that "premium service abuse" is the most common type of Android malware; this occurs when spammed SMS (text messages) are sent from infected phones to "premium rate" telephone numbers, incurring a monetary charge without the knowledge or consent of the user. Other common Android malware contributes to identity theft by illicitly sending personal information to third parties, or displaying unwanted advertising on the Android device. While the security app publishers have claimed that security threats directed at Android devices have grown exponentially, "Google engineers have argued that the malware and virus threat on Android is being exaggerated by security companies for commercial reasons, and have accused the security industry of playing on fears to sell virus protection software to users." (Source: Wikipedia).
With thousands of Android apps reviewed and rated by the Gizmo community in the mobile app section at techsupportalert.com, good information is easily accessible that may allow Android users to locate and download the best apps for their devices. Users of other devices, including Apple's iOS and Mac, Microsoft's Windows (all Windows devices), and Linux will also certainly find current information on the best free software for their devices on Gizmo's techsupportalert.com.

Item # ERG0049Item # ERG0049
From trail perfection to road perfection.
Ergon's carved out a niche among endurance mountain bikers by taking rider comfort to new heights, and now it's set sights on the road market. The SR3 Pro Carbon Saddle tops this new range of saddles with carbon rails, a composite shell, and three widths.
Ergon's first products were handlebar grips that gained a quick cult following because of their support and ability to reduce fatigue. Using the same benchmark design principle, Ergon designed the SR3 saddles from the ground up. To start with, the ultra-thin carbon fiber shell used an extensive finite element method analysis to map loads and areas of stress. This gave the saddle its distinctive shape, but more importantly, it allowed Ergon to tune the shell construction for optimized deflection.
The shell is actually 3D, and it features "hollows" that provide controlled flex at the sit bones. Covering the shell are progressive dampening layers that are individual to the different saddle widths. Every size option gets its own layering for rider-specific compression. Adding to the SR3's chatter-smoothing ability, is a nose mounted micro damper.
This damper, located in between the shell and carbon fiber rails, filters out smaller vibrations, and works in conjunction with the isolated rear mounting in order to allow the shell to float independent of the rails. The result is one of the most forgiving saddles on the market. The rails provide 30mm of adjustment for a proper fitting.
The SR3 also has an easy-to-clean synthetic leather cover — just wipe it off with a damp rag. But more important than saddle hygiene is its silicone side coating. This reduces chafing, always a good thing, and it also ensures that riders are able to effortlessly shift weight fore or aft to enhance both power or comfort.
Ergon is a German, yet instead of manufacturing the saddles itself, Ergon enlisted the help of the saddle perfectionists at Selle Italia. As a result, every SR3 is manufactured in Italy by expert craftsmen. To size yourself for an Ergon SR3 Pro Carbon Saddle, you'll need to measure the distance between your sit bones. The Small width fits sit bones 9-11cm apart, the Medium 11-13cm, and Large 13-15cm. This allows you to ensure proper support for not only long term comfort, but efficient and unrestricted pedaling as well.
The Ergon SR3 Pro Carbon Saddle is available in the colors Black and White and in the sizes Small, Medium, and Large.

My Hamstrings Weren't Happy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was excited to try this saddle but it just didn't work due to the strange shape, and I tried adjusting the angle and setback a couple times. The back of the saddle has a nice butt pocket, but when positioned there (and farther forward) the flared corners dug into my hamstrings with each pedal stroke making riding extremely uncomfortable. There is minimal firm padding, but that wouldn't be a problem if the ergonomics were better. If they hacked off those odd corners this might be a great saddle. As for the construction and materials the saddle is very nice, which is no surprise since it is made in Italy by Selle Italia.
I agree
Who actually manufactures these saddles?...
Who actually manufactures these saddles? The same people that manufacture the Kurve for Fizik?
They are made by Selle Italia in Italy.
Is there a difference between the Tinox...
Is there a difference between the Tinox rails and carbon rails beyond just the weight (i.e. does one material dampen vibration more than another, durability, etc.)? And are the shells on the Ergon SR3 and SR3 carbon the same?
I've found that carbon rails help dampen vibration a bit over metal rails. The major difference though is the rail size. The metal rails are 7mm round and the carbon rails are 7mm wide and 9mm tall, so your seatpost clamp might not be compatible. The shells for the SR3 Pro and SR3 Pro Carbon are "Carbon Fibre Ultra Thin Y-Flex Construction" as stated on the Ergon website. The SR3 shell is a GFK-Composite.

NHL reports no progress after mediation sessionby Shawn P. Roarke
ISELIN, N.J. -- Representatives of the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association met with federal mediators for a little more than six hours Wednesday without making progress.
The session, held at the office of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service here, was overseen by mediator Scot Beckenbaugh. It is the second time the sides have used federal mediation in the past two weeks.
"We met for about six-and-a-half hours today with the assistance of federal mediator Scot Beckenbaugh," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said. "The parties were never actually in the same room together. We did several different caucus meeting rooms. There is nothing new to report.
"We don't have a conclusion to the process. The players are doing something [Wednesday] night and they are going to get back to mediator Beckenbaugh [Wednesday] night and he will get back to us [Wednesday] night."
The sides never met face-to-face during the mediation session Wednesday. Beckenbaugh met with each side several times to discuss the issues the sides must bridge to reach a new deal.
"As I think you may know, there were a number of meetings each side had with the mediator [Wednesday] and, as well, we had caucuses on our own and I assume the League personnel did also," NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr said. "They were discussions of the various issues involved and how far we are apart and where we go from here. I can't tell you that any progress was made. Obviously, we are going to continue to stay in contact with the mediator [Wednesday] night and try to figure out what the next appropriate step is."
No further talks are scheduled at this time.
During the mediation session, the League was represented by Commissioner Gary Bettman, Deputy Commissioner Daly and attorneys.
The Union was represented by Executive Director Fehr, NHLPA Special Council Steve Fehr, and the following players: Craig Adams, Adrian Aucoin, Brad Boyes, Chris Campoli, Mathieu Darche, Shane Doan, Ron Hainsey, Jamal Mayers, Andy McDonald, Steve Montador, Brendan Morrison, Douglas Murray and Daniel Winnik.
The NHL and NHLPA met with mediators from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services on Nov. 28 and 29, but those meetings broke off without progress being made.
The NHL and NHLPA have been without a CBA since Sept. 16. Games have been cancelled through Dec. 30, along with the 2013 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic and the 2013 NHL All-Star Game.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Women Employees Abused at Arizona Prison, Civil Rights Agencies Charged
PHOENIX - The GEO Group, Inc., a prison management company, will pay a total of $140,000 to two women and furnish other relief to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by the Arizona Civil Rights Division (ACRD) and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agencies announced today. In a successful collaboration between the EEOC and ACRD, the case was co-litigated by the two law enforcement civil rights agencies. GEO is a large private corporation headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., that runs over a hundred private prison facilities across the country.
The EEOC and ACRD alleged that GEO had an extreme tolerance for sexual harassment at a prison facility (Florence West) in Florence, Ariz. More specifically, the EEOC and ACRD alleged that male managers at GEO sexually harassed numerous female employees and fostered an atmosphere of sexual intimidation and harassment. The sexual harassment included serious verbal harassment and physical harassment of the female employees. For example, the agencies contended that one supervisor grabbed a female subordinate, forced himself on top of her, and forcibly tried to kiss her. They also alleged that another supervisor routinely made crude, obscene and suggestive sexual remarks. The EEOC and ACRD said that comments like these were made by supervisors, were frequent and were often made in front of other management officials, who did nothing to stop the harassment.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects workers from discrimination based upon sex, including sexual harassment, and from retaliation. The EEOC and ACRD filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona (EEOC and ACRD v. The Geo Group, Inc., CV10-1995-PHX-SRB).
A jury trial started on Tuesday, April 23, and the case at trial was settled when Judge Susan R. Bolton signed the consent decree on Friday, April 26.
In prior rulings in this case, the court had dismissed claims for several women on procedural grounds and had ruled the EEOC and ACRD could not seek relief on behalf of several other women who had worked at GEO's Florence West and CACF facilities. The consent decree specifically allows the EEOC and ACRD to appeal those prior rulings.
In addition to the monetary relief of $140,000 for two harassment victims who remained in the case after the court's prior rulings and one separate settlement, the three-year consent decree settling the suit requires that GEO:
The decree also has an injunction against sexual harassment and retaliation, which includes notice posting and promises to not rehire two prior supervisors.
"Managers must constantly be reminded of their obligation to maintain workplaces where employees are not subjected to illegal harassment or retaliation," said Rose Daly-Rooney, lead counsel for the ACRD. "Where managers fail to satisfy these obligations, it is the employer's responsibility to correct the violations and prevent other violations from occurring. These women and all women deserve to work without being harassed because of their sex."
Richard Sexton, lead counsel for the EEOC, said, "Employers should be on notice that merely having anti-harassment policies is not sufficient to avoid Title VII liability. Employers must be committed to a workplace free of sexual harassment, a commitment that can be demonstrated by appropriate training, policies, and real enforcement of those policies."
Rayford Irvin, district director of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office, added, "When employers permit sexual harassment to occur in the workplace, they are violating federal law. The EEOC will continue to aggressively pursue employers who fail to prevent or promptly correct sexual harassment at their workplaces."
Preventing workplace harassment through systemic litigation and investigation is one of the six national priorities identified by the Commission's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP).
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The EEOC's Phoenix District Office has jurisdiction for Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and part of New Mexico (including Albuquerque). Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
The ACRD enforces Arizona statutes prohibiting employment discrimination, as well as discrimination in housing, public accommodations and voting. The ACRD has offices in Phoenix and Tucson. Further information about the ACRD is
available on the Arizona Attorney General's web site at www.azag.gov/civil-rights.

After the failure of the super committee and the American Jobs Act, the White House is promising a "laser-like" focus on extending the payroll tax cut by the end of the year.
Without it, President Barack Obama has warned of a $1,000 tax increase for the average family — and up to 1 million jobs lost by the economy as a whole.
To promote the extension, the White House has released a calculator to show how much you will lose out on if the payroll tax cut is not extended — and how much extra you may save if the American Jobs Act is passed.
Here's the calculator:

Seeking out additional sources of income is always a tempting option for today's financially strapped college student. That said, you might want to double- and triple-check the credentials of the sexologist for whose study you have just signed up, as he might just be some random dude trying to have sex with you in a motel room.
Such was the case at University of Washington, where students have complained of a man distributing hundreds of fliers around campus offering between $400 and $650 for their participation in a "sexology study."
"We are looking for people who will like to participate in a scientific study of SEXOLOGY: interests, behavior, and function," the flier read in part.
"We are studying sexology, the response to: How much of people's attraction comes from their imagined ideal? How much do touch, visual or hearing someone voice attributes to getting a person attention? 3) What are individual preference for beauty? 4) What role do money play and getting someone attention?"
Certainly sounds legit to me! But according to campus police, the man, who identified himself as either Quinton Brown or Quinton Johnson, would meet interested parties in empty classrooms, offer very little information about the study, then ask for their "names, addresses, birthdates and more."
"He is also alleged to have shown them sexually explicit photos and videos, and on two occasions asked them to go with him to a motel room to 'role play.'"
It's always a red flag when your research clinician tells you his lab is located in "Room 17 of the Twin Springs Motor Lodge. Just get naked, put a quarter in the Magic Fingers machine, and set a course for paradise. Of course, all your responses will be 100 percent confidential." [seattlepi.com, Image via Shutterstock]

For those who worry about government managed CER,MedPAC may be your real worry.
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) is an independent Congressional agency established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-33) to advise the U.S. Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program. The Commission's statutory mandate is quite broad: In addition to advising the Congress on payments to private health plans participating in Medicare and providers in Medicare's traditional fee-for-service program, MedPAC is also tasked with analyzing access to care, quality of care, and other issues affecting Medicare.
By the way, the strange sequence of capital and lower case letters in MedPAC is necessary because MEDPAC is something else entirely.It is the PAC of the Minnesota Medical Society.
Here are the current players in MedPAC. They are appointed by the director of the GAO who is the Comptroller General, who is appointed by the president subject to congressional approval.
So far, their pronouncements have been advisory but a recently proposed bill will elevate their expressed wisdom to fiat. The commission will become a government agency whose decisions regarding Medicare payments will largely be determinative.(Congress will have to work out exactly how determinative it will be, i.e. how difficult it will be for Congress to over ride their decisions).
This is being heralded by some as a way to take politics out of governmental medical payment decisions. Let's see how that won't be political. The members are appointed by a presidential appointee. Their decisions will determine how billions of dollars will be spent. Explain to me how all of the major players (drug companies,hospitals,medical equipment manufacturers, physician associations) will not do all they can to influence both the choice of those who will populate the agency and their decisions. Lobbying is not directed to just elected members of Congress. Explain to me again how investing that much power in an agency will not be the one of the best opportunities for regulatory capture ever.
The term "regulatory capture" is of fairly recent origin, but the concept is not new. Here is what President Woodrow Wilson said in 1913.
"If the government is to tell big business men how to run their business, then don't you see that big business men have to get closer to the government even than they are now? Don't you see that they must capture the government, in order not to be restrained too much by it? Must capture the government? They have already captured it."

But will this be worse than the current situation?
Now the RUC controls payments to physicians, and they have made sure payments for primary care and cognitive services lag progressively farther behind those for procedures.
My latest discussion of the RUC is here:
- james gaulte said...
I share your views on the RUC and greatly appreciate your efforts to expose exactly what has been happening in that area.I wonder if an empowered MedPAC might not just continue to allow RUC to play their game as perhaps the lobbying prowess of the procedure heavy specialties would also prevail with MedPac or with whomever holds the purse strings.
When there is a small group of government officials making decisions with such a great impact (economic and otherwise)I tend be skeptical that the notion of acting in the public interest is more mythical than real and it is often special interests than prevail.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Banu T.
Monday, October 21, 2013
By: Banu Turhan
"I cannot speak!" Those were the last words I uttered. And just like that, I lost my ability to communicate in any shape or form.
It was Aug. 19, 2006--my 10th wedding anniversary. I was playing with my 3-year-old son in the living room, helping him solve a puzzle, when I felt something go wrong inside my brain, something terribly wrong. To this day, I cannot explain what it was I was feeling, only that it was something like a panic attack. I stood up and ran to the bedroom where my husband was sleeping, holding my hands around my head in a silent scream. He jumped up as soon as he saw the expression on my face and tried to calm me down. My husband was a physician by training and after a quick examination, he could see that something was wrong with my nervous system--I could smile with only half my mouth, for example, and my tongue skewed to the right. But I was 39 years old, 115 pounds and in good health. I didn't think it could be too serious, but nonetheless, we drove to the nearest hospital.
As soon as we entered the emergency room it all began: CAT scans, MRIs, electrodes everywhere on my body, doctors and nurses speaking jargon. In the end it became clear that I had had a stroke. The right side of my face was paralyzed. Worst of all, my left carotid artery was blocked forever and the Broca's area of the brain, more commonly known as the speaking center, was dead. When I say "speaking," I mean communication in any form: writing, drawing, body language, gestures--in short any means of expressing oneself.
The name of my newly acquired condition was expressive aphasia. Imagine a situation where you desperately want to say something but you simply don't know how. You cannot even make a gesture to say "yes" or "no." That is what it is like to have this condition.
There are approximately 5,700,000 stroke survivors in the United States. It is the third leading cause of death after heart disease and all forms cancer combined, and it is the leading cause of long-term disability. Among survivors, one in six develops aphasia. Although one's intellect and judgment remain intact when you have aphasia, nobody knows about it, because friends and relatives focus on the more manifest symptoms of stroke, like paralysis.
When I was discharged from the hospital, the doctors thought I would not speak again. As far as communication was concerned, I was back to square one, as helpless as a newborn baby. I had to relearn everything: I had to navigate through the fog in my brain to find the right words that go together with the right concepts. I had to think of the right sounds to form those words, and finally I had to command my muscles in and around my mouth to produce those sounds.
Who knew that the greatest challenge of my life would turn out to be the greatest blessing?
I could say that I rose to the challenge, grabbed it by the horns, and by sheer determination, I concurred my disability in a Rambo like manner. But this is not how it happened. It took much more than that. It took lots of love, letting go and a huge transformation on my part.
Love my husband showed, when he gently hold my hands, looked at me with a tender heart yet determined:" No matter what happens, I will always take care of you!" Love from my family, that brought them immediately to my side from 10 000 miles away, and made them take turns being with us for a whole year. Love from friends near and far, as they put their prayers behind one thousand origami cranes that hung on the ceiling of our bedroom, as they came to teach me how to speak again.
Letting go, accepting the "new world" as is, letting go of the ego that proudly stood between me and people that wanted to help me. Being open to receive, letting go of the notion of "I know best" in exchange for listening to people I trusted. To allow my loved ones bring out the best in them, and what a joy it was to see them at their best.
Taking each day one by one. No hurries, no petit worries, only seeing best in people , as if this was my last chance to see them... I hope that each of us who had a near death experience is transformed by this knowledge: Each and every day we wake up; we receive a gift, the most precious gift of all: "Another day to live!" It is not for granted, you know.
With the help of my exceptional therapists, I improved week by week and I'm still improving. I can write, draw and do math again. As of now, I can speak well, although a bit slow and clumsy. People think that I have a thick accent. They often ask me what the country of my origin is. I want to tell them "I come from a country called Aphasia."

Social network radicalism
Posted by Phil Dickens on 22/10/2010 · 4 Comments
As I write this, I'm on a train to Sheffield, playing with WordPress on my phone. Which, I think, shows how far we've moved from the days of bearded radicals hand-writing pamphlets in a candle-lit basement. (I exaggerate somewhat.) It also offers me the flimsiest of excuses to write about the use of social networks … Continue reading →

Blink frequently when looking (or is it staring?) at the monitor. This
helps because our blinking rate decreases approximately 70% when
concentrating versus when we are relaxed. Remember to blink the end of
every paragraph or with every mouse click.
Adjust the top of the monitor screen so that it is equal or lower than the
height of your eyebrows. When looking straight ahead or upwards at the
monitor, our eyes tear less and the corneal surface dries. When looking
slightly down, our eyelids will usually sweep down the whole eyeball when
you blink. This moistens the cornea instead of only the upper eyeball.
Look out a window (if possible) at a distant tree or lawn when taking a
break to think or talk on the telephone. Green is a soothing color for the
eyes. If you don't have access to a window, decorate your work area with
green plants that you can look at during your vision breaks.
Adjust and correct other factors that influence vision such as glare,
reflections and wearing the correct prescription glasses.

- The only real reason your kids are not already well behaved.
- The way most parents talk to their kids, causing them to do exactly what you don't want
- The crucial emotional bridge you MUST establish with your child before you try to change their behavior.
- The one word you are probably abusing, which triggers those awful temper tantrums
Watch this FREE video for important tips on how you can best communicate with your child and deals with your toddler's behavior
Behavior is driven by Emotion,
NOT Logic. This is fundamental to everything, including understanding toddler behavior. Behavior, for any person of any age, is determined by their emotional state. People ACT from their emotions, and they later JUSTIFY their actions with logic. But small kids don't have the ability to use logic, so they act purely from emotion. Keep this in mind when dealing with behavior in toddlers.
We tend to overuse the word "No" when we talk to our kids.
This causes problems with toddler behavior. You remember the story of the boy who cried wolf, right? The little shepherd boy was bored while watching the sheep so he decided to cry wolf and make the villagers come running. Before long, they stopped responding to his false cries. When a parent cries "No" at every little thing, kids stop listening. The parent's cries fade into the background. Behaviour problems in children can stem from this caveat. I'll teach you multiple ways to get what you want without screaming "NO" at your child – and it simply works better!
If you want to have any chance at all of influencing your toddler's behavior, you MUST have rapport first.
Rapport simply means having an emotional connection to another person. I'll show you how you can learn LOTS of ways to create this crucial emotional bridge before you deal with children behaviour problems.
- Learn this simple way to improve your success rate at getting your kids to listen and do as you ask.
- Discover the biggest common language mistake parents make. This mistake is actually causing your kids to do the opposite of what you want.
- Find out what technique most parents use far too often, making it almost completely useless. When you fix this mistake you're going to get much better results!
- You'll also receive a FREE subscription to my parenting tips newsletter ($47 value). The tips I send out are very different than anything you've seen. Thousands of parents have experienced the difference they make!
Make sure you check your "bulk", "junk" or "spam" folders. Sometimes emails get mistakenly filtered.
Language is a powerful tool and there are a bunch of tactics you need to learn to create the outcomes you want. Here's a specific tip: Use positive language instead of negative language. This is explained in detail either in the free audio lesson above, and in the video presentation.
influence the behavior of toddlers. I encourage all parents to read this. This material completely changes the way you look at parenting toddlers. Dealing with problem toddler behavior is one thing. But if you think longer term, you probably want your kids to have confidence, right? This article on raising self confident children was immensely popular.
I've also written another article called
Three Year Old Behavior that has generated a huge number of comments from readers. It goes through many of the most common toddler parenting issues you are probably facing. By learning the tools that I teach, you'll start to learn how to solve these types of parenting problems easily, without thinking about it. Then you'll say to yourself, "How cool … I can actually DO this stuff". It feels good.

Story highlights
- Decision by former commissioner overturns current NFL chief
- Case affects the New Orleans Saints from 2009-2011
- Tagliabue says Saints given incentives to hurt opposing players
- Was it typical "trash talk" that occurs regularly before games?
Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue on Tuesday rescinded punishments against four players in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal.
The ruling overturned a decision made in October by Roger Goodell, the current commissioner, against Jonathan Vilma, Anthony Hargrove, Will Smith and Scott Fujita.
Under the bounty program, Tagliabue wrote, Saints players were given incentives during the 2009 through 2011 seasons to render opposing players unable to play. They were called "cartoffs" and "knockouts."
In addition, it was alleged that the Saints offered a bounty for injuring Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre during the NFC Championship game in January 2010.
In October, after he upheld suspensions, Goodell appointed Tagliabue to review player appeals.
In his 18-page order, Tagliabue found that Fujita's actions "were not conduct detrimental" and vacated a one-game suspension imposed by Goodell.
Tagliabue wrote that Fujita "did not participate in the program including cartoffs and knockouts and that his participation in a 'non-injury' pay-for-performance pool is typically subject only to club discipline."
Tagliabue found that Hargrove, Smith and Vilma engaged in "conduct detrimental to the integrity of, and public confidence in, the game of professional football," but ordered their punishments also be rescinded.
Hargrove had been suspended for seven games but was credited with having served five. Goodell found that Hargrove falsely answered an NFL investigator's questions about the misconduct.
But Tagliabue said it was not clear Hargrove lied about the program and noted that he was "under tremendous pressure to follow the chain of command in order to keep his job." Tagliabue concluded that there was insufficient evidence that Hargrove's alleged misconduct merited a suspension.
Goodell had suspended Smith for four games after finding he gave money to the program. But Tagliabue said Smith was being singled out unfairly because he was a team captain.
"On the present record, selective prosecution of allegations of misconduct and enforcement of discipline relative to Smith cannot be sustained," Tagliabue wrote. "Whatever the reason for such selective enforcement, it does not satisfy basic requirements for consistent treatment of player employees similarly situated."
Goodell had found that Vilma offered a bounty to any Saints player who could knock Favre out of the 2010 championship game and suspended him for the entire 2012 season.
But Tagliabue nixed that suspension, too, saying it was not clear that any such pledges were made seriously.
"Was it inspirational only?" he asked. "Was it typical 'trash talk' that occurs regularly before games? The parties presented no clear answers."
Tagliabue wrote reducing the suspensions to fines could be justified in the cases of Hargrove, Smith and Vilma.
"However ... this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints' organization," he wrote.
After the order was released, Saints quarterback Drew Brees took to Twitter: "Congratulations to our players for having the suspensions vacated. Unfortunately, there are some things that can never be taken back," he wrote.
In a statement, the NFL noted that the matter had been reviewed by Goodell, two collective bargaining agreement grievance arbitrators, the Collective Bargaining Appeals Panel and now Tagliabue.
"The decisions have made clear that the Saints operated a bounty program in violation of league rules for three years, that the program endangered player safety, and that the commissioner has the authority under the CBA to impose discipline for those actions as conduct detrimental to the league," the league said.
"Strong action was taken in this matter to protect player safety and ensure that bounties would be eliminated from football."
In a statement, the NFL Players Association, the union, said it was pleased with the decision.
"Vacating all discipline affirms the players' unwavering position that all allegations the league made about their alleged 'intent to injure' were utterly and completely false. We are happy for our members."
Vilma's lawyer, Peter R. Ginsberg, accused Goodell of "trying every conceivable maneuver to avoid real and honest scrutiny of his manufactured allegations that Jonathan Vilma engaged in a bounty program aimed at opposing players."
Though gratified that his client "no longer needs to worry about facing an unjustified suspension," he said Tagliabue's order "does nothing to rectify the harm done by the baseless allegations lodged against Jonathan."

The inspiration for my body of work came from the techniques employed by the artists Man Ray and Alexander Calder. The images combine photographic negatives and 'drawings with light'. They were initiated by constructing a wire sculpture that became transformed by light and shadow. Layering and repetition were important structural devices.

She originally auditioned for the role of "Marta", Jake Sisko's Bajoran girlfriend, on DS9.She was one of two actresses up for the part but lost out because she was considered a bit too attractive. The role of Leeta, a dabo girl, was written with her in mind, even though she still had to audition for the role.
Besides her work on DS9, Masterson's television credits include FOX's Sliders, UPN's Live Shot and the World Wide Web's interactive soap EON 4. Masterson was also named the co-host of Showtime's Saturday night program Showtime Nighttime.
