Adrienne Ostrove
Hometown: Danbury, Conn.
Major: Psychology, Spanish
WCSU Degree: Dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Spanish
Activities: Student editor for the Journal of Undergraduate Psychological Research, Psychology Student Association, IMPACT, WCSU Running Club, Associate Honors Program, resident assistant, volunteer at St. Vincent's Special Needs Services, tutor at the WCSU Tutoring Resource Center
Honors and Awards: GPA 3.86, Dean's List all four years, W. Jason & Ellen M. Hancock Scholarship, Rosita del Corral Scholarship, Dean's Award, AAUP Student Leadership Award, Willerman Award in Psychology, Psi Chi (Honors Society in Psychology), Sigma Delta Pi (Spanish Honors Society)
Adrienne Ostrove left her hometown of Danbury, Conn., to attend college in New York, but came back after a year and has never regretted it. "I attended WestConn for four years, but I am actually in my fifth year of college," Ostrove explains. "I transferred to WestConn in my sophomore year. I first went to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y., to study creative writing. I was there for one year. WestConn is affordable and has a wide range of academic programs - and I was able to live at home."
Ostrove says she has always been fascinated by psychology, and "it didn't make much sense to me to transfer to a different school but keep the same major (writing), so I decided to major in psychology. My decision to get a second major in Spanish just sort of happened after studying abroad a few times."
Ostrove says her interactions with faculty have been extremely positive. "Pretty much every professor that I've ever had (and some even that I haven't) has been a mentor to me, which is one of the great things about WestConn. I can definitely say that after taking courses and working on several projects with Dr. Daniel Barrett from the psychology department for five semesters straight, I have learned much more about psychology, writing, the future, and life in general than a typical class could teach me. I also feel that Dr. Alba Skar from the Spanish department has been a mentor to me since I made the decision to study a second major. Aside from encouraging me to study abroad, working with me on additional projects, and helping me to become more proficient in Spanish, Dr. Skar has helped me understand my own ideas — not a simple task! Also, one of the greatest mentors I've had while at WestConn has been (Associate Professor of Politican Science) Dr. Christopher Kukk. While I never actually took a course with Dr. Kukk, he literally spent months working with me completing a Fulbright application. Even though I was not chosen as a Fulbright grantee, Dr. Kukk taught me never to give up and to keep trying, even if things seem impossible."
Asked what she will remember most about her WestConn experience, Ostrove says, "Studying abroad in Chile and Mexico, even though these experiences weren't technically at WestConn."
After graduation, Ostrove says she would love to get involved in researching the interaction between culture and psychology. "I plan on either stumbling upon this research by chance or working 24/7 until next fall so that I can afford to go to graduate school. Eventually I would like to incorporate my interests in cultural psychology with writing, so I may find myself becoming involved with some type of journalism in the near future."
Ostrove's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "Everything that you think will happen, won't — but everything that you think would never happen, will."

"The call to investigate the Jena Six prosecutions is legitimate," said Dr. King. "There's clear evidence in the case that officials need to examine for discriminatory practices, from the nooses strung from a tree that helped provoke the fight to the vast difference in the severity of treatment given to white and black participants."
"There's other evidence of racism in our nation, though, that also troubles me to the core and that also demands investigation," added Dr. King. "The abortion industry kills black babies at an alarmingly high and disproportionate rate, it situates its clinics primarily in minority neighborhoods, and it has eliminated one-quarter of the African American population. Abortionists don't wear hoods, but one has to wonder how the results of the abortion industry's practices would be much different if they did. Black babies are being denied their fundamental right to live and it's time to find out why the people who profit from abortion in this country seem to be targeting African Americans."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.


text: Ok ladies, I posted something before about awful pain in my nipples while I nurse. Talked to my doctor she said possibly latch issue, or it is possibly just going to hurt. Previously the lactation consultant at the hospital said latch was fine. Called le lache league in Springfield MO (closest in area) she said possibly Reynolds phenomenon and to take calcium and magnesium. I have been using a nipple shield but want to try and get away from it. I can feed with only slight pain with it, but without I am in total pain again. My daughter is 2 months old and I believe she is clamping down her jaw when she nurses. What can I do to change this? And why would this only hurt without the shield? I want to nurse skin to skin, and also it is easier without dealing with the little plastic piece and she only takes 20 mins and she is satisfied where as she takes 40 mins with the shield. Sorry for the jummbledness and bad english, lol I am trying to type while rocking my lovebug to sleep.

In a world characterized by new technology and rapidly changing human needs, leisure is increasingly recognized for its contribution to a fulfilling life. Free time is valued when used in self-expression and creativity through recreation. With a growing interest in travel, sport and entertainment, health and fitness, and the arts, post-industrial society requires educated professionals to manage leisure services in business or industry, tourism, the community, the armed forces and other government agencies, residential facilities, youth service organizations, and outdoor recreation. Recent graduates are employed in management, planning, and program leadership and development by a variety of organizations including resorts, park districts, state and national parks, hospitals, community-based therapeutic agencies, YMCAs, camps and outdoor recreation centers, tourism agencies, wilderness camping programs, university student unions, and civic and senior citizen centers.
To accommodate a variety of interests and career directions, the department helps students develop individualized programs of study. Students have the opportunity to participate in the Environmental Conservation Outdoor Education Expedition (ECOEE), a semester-long experience conducted in national parks, outdoor education centers, and wilderness areas.

The Becket single monk strap is a testament of understated elegance. It is characterized by a slim and sophisticated side buckle, thin leather sole, hand-stitched welt and a Goodyear construction. The leather is selected meticulously and during the finishing steps, the exclusive waxes are applied by hand to confer a unique matt patina that enhances the natural beauty of the leather.
The shoe's details are hand-written inside the upper in a special calligraphy, rendering each model completely distinctive while the sole, which includes a foam layer between the leather sock and insole for added comfort, is heat-embossed with the Church's logo and the company's provenance, 'Northampton England'.
Everyday ensembles take on a dapper air through the mix and match of casual staples and more formal footwear, creating a distinctive contrast of styles that is renewing the concept of casualwear. Though considered a classic, the Consul Oxford quickly turns into a statement accessory when combined with a more informal look.
The Consul's sleek façade features double stitching along the toe cap and upper as well as a hand-applied finish and sturdy Goodyear construction, making it one of our most popular and versatile styles, whether you choose to dress up or down.
The quality of a shoe is determined by a number of factors, the foremost being the material it is made of. Raw materials are at the very foundation of a shoe, dictating its performance and lifespan as well as its aesthetic, which is why we take great care to select only the best leathers from the finest tanneries around the world to make our footwear.
Our collections are made mainly from calfskin although goat, sheep and ox leathers are used as well. Our Calf Leather is full grain and dyed with aniline, finished with a glaze to give the leather a naturally transparent and high lustre.
One of our most popular materials is called Bookbinder, treated with resins to increase firmness and create a beautiful high shine. Fume is a lighter weight option that undergoes a special process in which it is buffed by hand with an abrasive brush to enhance the leather's intensity. Betis features a rich, deep veneer as the result of careful tanning and a particular hand finishing process that uses creams to build up a distinctive and layered finish while Rois is a corrected grain leather that features a more matt and waxier appearance. Castoro is our classic suede while the Superbuck boasts a finer nap for a smoother and softer exterior.
A true icon is defined not only by the impact that it makes at the moment of its revealing, but the lasting relevance it enjoys more than half a century later.
In 1929, Church's presented the Shanghai, a completely innovative style that was designed for Englishmen living abroad (particularly in the Far East) and one that redefined men's footwear. In 2009, after finding an original model at the Northampton factory, the brand decided to re-issue an identical version with an intentionally vintage feel, a move that successfully resonated with clients, retailers and the fashion industry.
The shoe's structure – a unique composite of a monk strap and brogue with tassel detail – is offset by a palette of natural shades, which serve to subtly tone down the elegance factor. The Shanghai's aesthetic, which was considered avant-garde as much in 1929 as it is now, combines tradition with modernity, successfully achieving that ever-fickle balancing act between sophisticated and sporty.
The Shanghai's most defining characteristic is the original rubber sole, which features an artfully designed "CHURCH CO" logo across the bottom and took an entire year to reproduce. This remarkable sole has appeared periodically throughout the brand's style repertoire and was created to resist wear and tear, offering up the added benefit of versatility to an already exemplary shoe.
The contemporary rendition, which is constructed exactly as it was in 1929, features yet another element of distinction – the shoes are intentionally broken in and weathered by hand to fully evoke the vintage spirit of the original.
The Shanghai demonstrated Church's foresight and innovative spirit when it was introduced while the style's re-issue established its undeniable status as an icon of timeless elegance.


text: Hello all,I would greatly appreciate any words of advice/wisdom.I took my diagnostic test back in the early part of February when I started the Kaplan course I am currently enrolled in. As the course has progressed, I have increased my studying time to pretty much any free time I now have. (on top of a full time job + 2hrs total commute). I plan on taking the test in June.My initial Diagnostic for the course was a 144. We just took another practice test in the course, and I have only improved by 3 points to a 147.From the breakdown:In LR I significantly improved with Assumption type questions, and I seem to be "flawless" with the flaw questions, however MP, Method of Arg, Paradox, and Inference are my largest weak points. I was able to answer and complete roughly 17-18 of the 25 total LR questions per section, and seem to range about 3-5 wrong out of the 17-18 I tackle. (In practice on timed LR sections I am scoring with the same range of 17-18, and 3-5 wrong answers, occasionally only 1-2 wrong)For LG I tripped myself up with the setup on one game, for all the questions I did tackle I got correct, but I missed an entire game due to time. I feel with a repeated run through of games I will not have too much of an issue in this section, I am finding in practice I do not have too much issue with the Logic Games.As for RC I appear to be an incredibly slow reader, or I spend too much time second guessing/ensuring that I have the information correct, and then only end up with enough time to tackle 2 passages. I seem to not do that poorly on the questions, (answering incorrectly on only 1, or 2) however I miss a great deal of questions due to not even tackling the 2 entire passages.In all honestly I feel I have only really begun a dedicated and disciplined study plan about 3 weeks ago, initially I was failing to dedicate enough time after a full day of work, now I go directly to the library after work until it closes. I now average about 20 hours of study time per week.I welcome any and all advice on what to do to improve my scores. Also, with the June test roughly 2 months away, do I have enough time to improve adequately enough on the test to score above even a 160?Thank you!

Looking at the Saga as a whole, does a radical spike in graphical content and turn in tonality for Episode III raise any issues for anyone? How is the average movie-goer going to react to something like this, considering the much lighter PG material in the surrounding episodes?
Now you can't help but compare the choices being made, the actions taking place, and the dialog being spoken to ROTS events, and the subtext elevates the climax substantially.
Don't expect instances of brutal graphic violence -- this is, after all a Star Wars movie. That said, though, there are major instances of onscreen deaths and injury, including ones where body parts are separated from the whole. It's a very different climate these days, and it's hard to guess how a rating board will react to that. Jango's decapitation, after all, almost nudged Episode II into PG-13 territory.
One of the interesting things about the PT is that it seems to mature with Anakin. In TPM, we have a more lighthearted "kiddie" movie for a ten year old kid. In AOTC we have a more angst-ridden lovestruck teen movie for an angst-ridden lovestruck teenager. ROTS sounds like a journey through hell, for a man going through hell. I'm really starting to like the contrast.
Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith has been given a PG-13 rating by the Motion Picture Association of Americas Classification and Ratings Administration.Revenge has received the PG-13 for sci-fi violence and some intense images.

Hartsville, S.C. - Six players scored in double figures as the Francis Marion Patriots rolled past the Coker Lady Cobras 99-60 in women's collegiate basketball on Friday afternoon. For just the second time this season the FMU Patriots were held to under 100 points as they improved to 6-0 on the season and Coker falls to 1-6 overall.
Coker came out guns blazing and took an early 12 point lead in the first five minutes of the game, but then FMU turned up the heat and over the next five minutes evened the score before ending the first half with a 22 point lead, 48-26.
The second half was much like the end of first half, as the Patriots continued to use a fast paced offense and full court defensive pressure to increase their lead to as much as 45. In the game, FMU caused 32 Coker turnovers, while turning those turnovers into 40 points. Coker was able to out rebound FMU, 41-38, but the Patriots out shot the Lady Cobras 51.3 percent to 41.5 percent.
Leading the offensive attack for FMU was Shana Franks with 22 points, while Creshenda Singletary had 12 points in her first contest of the season. Robin Colbert and Shannon Singleton-Bates each had 11 points with Singleton-Bates grabbing nine rebounds. Eboni Fields and Kevina Ransom each had 10 points and Ransom pulled down seven boards.
For the Lady Cobras, Henna Koponen (Vantaa, Finland) led the way with 16 points and eight boards, while Lotta Aaltonen (Rauma, Finland) had 11 points and five rebounds.
Coker will now take a much needed break for the holidays before returning to the floor on January 5, 2009, when they travel to Mount Olive for a 5:30 p.m. Conference Carolinas game. FMU returns to action on Monday, as they host North Georgia in a Peach Belt match-up at 5:30 p.m.

• THE BAYOU BROTHERS: Monday, June 23 at HUMPHREYS BACKSTAGE LIVE, 2241 Shelter Island Drive. 9 p.m. www.humphreys-backstagelive.com.
Does the world need more singer/songwriters? That depends. To be sure, there is a lot of mediocre music out there. It's true they are everywhere these days, but good players and songwriters with a solid catalog are hard to come by. Writing one good song is tough enough. Coming up with dozens is a much trickier thing. There's a reason why names like Tolan Shaw, Jeff Berkley, Jason Mraz and Gregory Page stand out. Trent Hancock, appearing at Beaumont's on Wednesday,
June 25, is one of the newer names that may be next to join that list of lofty names. The key is his passion, which permeates his music, whether it's classic covers such as Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" or heartfelt originals like "Falling Faster."

Jazz fans won't want to miss an appearance by Los Angeles-based tenor saxophonist Charles Owen at Dizzy's on Friday, June 20. He'll be backed by a stellar combo of bassist Marshall Hawkins, pianist Joshua White and drummer Brett Sanders for a show that basically has four headliners in one. Owens has performed with everyone from Miles Davis to Barbra Streisand in a career that has seen him mentor generations of players following in his footsteps. Interestingly, Hawkins also performed with Miles Davis, among many other legends, making this a particularly choice pairing. If classic jazz is your thing, this is easily the week's best bet.

Anyone who ever wondered what if Sha-Na-Na had been Russian will want to check out the Red Elvises. Gimmicks and the visual have always been a big part of rock 'n' roll, a fact not lost on this group. The Russian-American trio goes so far as to use a large red balalaika-shaped bass for emphasis in its 1950s-inspired, rockabilly-driven music. Formed in 1995, the Red Elvises have proven to have amazing staying power, appearing on TV shows ranging from "Melrose Place" to Penn & Teller specials and are still a big festival draw as it prepares its third decade as a group. Numerous band members have come and gone, but the group is still led by Igor Yuzov with a show that dazzles the eyes and ears. The message in the Red Elvises music is "fun."

Blending beats, reggae, funk and hip-hop rhythms, Timothy H may be just about be the ultimate beach-area musician. His are laid-back sounds that could soundtrack just about any evening spent somewhere near the ocean. Backed by an able band, song titles like the 2012 single "It's a Good Day" give the general vibe of this sound. Aficionados of such combos as General Public and latter day Untouchables dub remixes will find much to appreciate in Timothy H's groove. Located just feet from the water, this gig is about the perfect match of venue and artist.

LAKEVILLE -- What hair he has, Tony Stewart let down Tuesday afternoon.
He was among family.
There were the Newtons, Bob and Joyce, and the rest of the Hoosier Tire clan.
There was longtime buddy "Irish" Saunders, who has built the Plymouth Speedway into a popular attraction.
And there was an auditorium full of distant relatives, bound together by an appreciation for NASCAR.
It didn't take long for the 40-year-old driver/owner's personality to command Newton Center.
This was Tony Stewart unplugged.
Jeans, a pair soccer shoes and an untucked golf shirt added to the casual ol' No. 14 radiated in his down-home exchange with his fans.
His opinions ran the gamut - from teammate Ryan Newman of South Bend, to nemesis Kyle Busch, to his habit of going through girlfriends as quick as a pit stop.
- On Newman: "He's the easiest (employee) you can imagine. When Ryan comes in for team meetings, he may have mud all over his boots from working half the day at his farm (in North Carolina). We're great friends. That makes us even better teammates, because we get along so well."
- On Kyle Busch: "There aren't any bad guys in the (Sprint Cup) series. Even Kyle Busch isn't that bad. If there are five words that mean the same thing, (Busch) is going to pick the one that makes everybody mad."
- On Minnesota Congresswoman Betty McCollum, who wants to stop the U.S. Army from being a NASCAR sponsor, which happens to be Newman's car: "That senator lady, I'd like to get her in a car and run 10 laps. I'd make her wet herself. If she could see firsthand the advertising platform, she'd see how we could reach young people. We should get her to a race and get her educated."
- On Sunday's Brickyard 400: "I ran into a cone (near the pits). I ran into a bigger cone, Kyle Busch. I ran into the wall, and I still finished sixth."
- On winning a World of Outlaws race in Canada recently: "I put (an oversized) Happy Gilmore check in the back window of the bus at the Brickyard. I was proud of that."
- On Danica Patrick: "I'd go out with her, absolutely."
- On Jeff Gordon: The audience groaned at the mention of his name. "I know. He's got a hot wife, though. Just tellin' the truth."
- On the longevity of his girlfriends: "Some made it a couple hours. Some made it a couple months. I just broke up with my girlfriend yesterday, but she drives for me, so I guess I'll see her again."
- On Trevor Bayne winning the Daytona 500 in his first try. Stewart has never won it: "We flew (Bayne) to Illinois to run on a dirt track. All the way, I was staring at the (championship) ring on his finger. He said, 'Is there something wrong?' I said, 'I want that ring. How'd you get that lucky, kid?' Running at Daytona is a lot more of a level playing field. It's a strategy race. It's like playing chess and I'm a checkers player."
- On his acting on the TV show "The Glades:" "I act like an idiot every week. As for my TV career, I don't know. I couldn't remember the lines. The director would say the lines and I'd repeat them. The editing made me look like a genius."
- On whether or not he'd climb the fence if he won later this season at the Chicagoland Speedway: "It's tradition at Indy, so I'd do it there. As it is, I'm living on borrowed time. I don't want to win a race and fall off the fence and wake up in a hospital not remembering anything."
Stewart was in rare form Tuesday. An opinion on anything and everything.
Just a little fun among family.

Today I was reading Internet of things will have 24 billion devices by 2020 — Cloud Computing News. It is tough for me to even fathom 24 million internet connected things running around, but 24 million isn't cool. You know what's cool? 24 billion.
At first thought, I thought 24 billion devices by 2020 was a stretch. Then I realize how many internet devices I already have. It is probably just me, but the first thing that comes to mind when I think IoT (Internet of Things) are things like home appliances. Refrigerators, HVAC systems, and power meters… all things I think of as "things". IoT is much broader than that. Stop and think for a minute of how many internet connected things/devices you have.
Here's mine:
- Playstation 3
- Wii
- Skype Handset
- Wireless Verizon router
- Verizon DVR
- Android Phone
- Wife's Phone

Rated 4 out of 5 by Andee from Great fit, the perfect date dress!!! This dress fits wonderfully. It is not tight for me on the top like the other reviews said ( I bought a medium and I am a 34C). at first it was a little to glittery for me then it grew on me. so I am keeping it.
Date published: 2013-01-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hrd2keeplow from Great NYE dress. This dress brought lots of compliments I am a size 4. 34C. I bought the small. It fit wonderfully everywhere, even with using a padded strapless bra. The rouching in the back made my behind look fantastic! I ordered the dress right after Christmas and still got it days before NYE which helped...in case it didn't fit, I still had to to keep shopping. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I had to fight with the "pooch" that continued occurring in my mid section because the sequined area there kept buckling outward because the sequin strip is more firm than the rest of the dress. So I had to keep adjusting he dress by pulling it down all night. Other than that, I had lots of compliments!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lillady from Awesome dress Tried the dress on along with five other dresses initially it wasn't my dress of choice but that changed once I put it on... I usually wear a xxs in Bebe but the dress was only available in xs .. The dress still fits pretty well ...as I am 4'11 93lbs the dress it tight on my little frame. I loved the gold on my skin so I decided I needed gold shoes to compliment the dress. The sequins is a combination of gold silver and pink which is very pretty together .. Satisfied dress purchase as it will be worn on my bday

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tamsy from very eye catching dress i love this dress. it's definitely an attention grabber. it fits well how ever my only complain is that it's a bit tight under the armpits and it makes my armpits buldge out a little. i am a petite girl overall and fit XS or XXS. i bought this in XS. this will be my new year's dress.
Date published: 2012-12-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by austinbebefan from Cool looking dress. My dress didn't have any of the issues the other Bebe customer described. Mine wasn't wrinkled and it was not longer on one side then the other. Hard to believe that, but mine delivered perfect. Fits true to size for the most part. I bought an XXS and probably could also have bought the XS, but XXS accentuates my small waist a littler better. I'm 5"4" and 102 lbs. I liked mine better with the straps on. Wore it to a Christmas pary and got a number of compliments. This is a very fun dress. You should like it if you purchase it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Cassie267 from Poor sewing I love the style of the dress online and order it in XXS. When it arrive it was packaged in a bag which wrinkled up the dress and the tissue that it was wrapped in made it look very poorly handled. I tried it on and the ruching in the front right side of the dress was longer then the left. So disappointed, I returned it to my local bebe store. Bebe products are not the same quality that it use to be.

Module Ocamlbuild_js_of_ocaml
module Ocamlbuild_js_of_ocaml : sig..end
Ocamlbuild plugin to build with js_of_ocaml
Dispatchers ¶
val dispatcher :
?oasis_executables:Ocamlbuild_plugin.Pathname.t list ->
Ocamlbuild_plugin.hook -> unit
The main dispatcher
The dispatcher should be used with Ocamlbuild_plugin.dispatch as: Ocamlbuild_plugin.dispatch Ocamlbuild_js_of_ocaml.dispatcher or if you use oasis it would look like: Ocamlbuild_plugin.dispatch (fun hook -> dispatch_default hook; Ocamlbuild_js_of_ocaml.dispatcher ~oasis_executables:["src/yourprogram.byte"] hook; )
?oasis_executables is the paths of the executables (having the .byte extension) you want to compile as a javascript executable. The former executables are still compiled.
Side note: Ocamlbuild_plugin.dispatch should be used only once as it record only one function for an ocamlbuild module.
Low level functions ¶
val oasis_support : executables:Ocamlbuild_plugin.Pathname.t list -> unit
Map each targets given as argument to ocamlbuild and replace each element that exists in ~executables by its corresponding .js target.


text: Hi there I recently switched from a Debian HW node to CentOS and migrated all the OpenVZ containers on there. Inside the container's I'm running ISPConfig. Since I had some permission problems inside the VEs, I double checked them. I found that several files are owned (were owned, I "fixed" it) by users/groups that to not exist (e.g. all php-fcgi-scripts etc). However, I'm now having the problem that for sites running under suPHP mode directories and files need to be chmoded (666/777) - but that should exactly not be the case when running suPHP, right? Also, running as Fasti-CGI brings: "No input file specified". May anyone bring me on the right path? I guess it's a simple permissions problem. Error logs of apache itself and client vhosts don't seem to be helpful. Thanks a lot! MaddinXx

Keep it Together Collecting Trays
Whether you need to serve drinks or corral your crafts, a snazzy tray can get the job done in style- and make your "stuff" look more intentional.
- I bought my first trays- the large round white, blue, and orange ones- from Rare Device so I could occasionally eat in bed without disaster ensuing. They worked so well and looked so good that I started keeping an eye out for others.
- Someday I'll host fabulously casual cocktail parties featuring a darling little tray for each guest, just the right size to hold a drink and a snack. Someday! Until then, a post-work cocktail feels a bit more posh. (Italian faux-wicker trays found at Community Thrift for 50¢ each)
- Large trays are perfect for keeping craft projects-in-progress under control. You can put a project aside when it's time to go to work or sleep and pick it up again when you're ready- without your home becoming littered with papers and pompoms.
- Little vignettes can feel a bit more intentional when grouped together on a pretty vintage tray. I've found some great ones on Etsy- like this one or this one or oh my gosh these by searching for "tray japan" in the vintage section.

Redefining 'normal:' Double amputee writes about 'lucky' life
He's run the New York City marathon. He's working for an international firm in Stamford. He's getting his master's degree in business administration at the University of Connecticut, And he is the father of an 8-month-old girl.
Sound like a normal life? It's just what John Tartaglio, 26, a graduate of Fairfield University, has strived for -- to be "normal" even though he lost both his legs when he was 17.
"My goal was to lead a normal life after everything I'd been through," he said. "I was looking for the new normal."
Tartaglio is now an author and motivational speaker, in addition to everything else he does. He has been on Oprah Winfrey's television show three times -- including once in January when he updated Winfrey's audience on his inspirational story. He is also an athlete and member of Team A Step Ahead, a team made up of athletes using prosthetic devices.
"John is by far one-of-a-kind and his role as a mentor and ... athlete is paramount to those of all ability levels, whether they wear a prosthetic or not," said Erik Schaffer, founder of the team. "John has managed to defy the odds to every extreme."
Tartaglio was a baseball and football player at Foran High School in Milford when he woke up one day in extreme pain with a very rare bacterial infection. The next day, he went into surgery and came out with both legs mputated just below the hips. His left bicep was also removed. At that moment, his life changed forever.
"I had to come to terms with the fact that my life was going to be completely different," he said.
He was home-schooled for a while, but graduated with his high school class despite the rigorous physical therapy and other treatments he had to endure. After high school, he chose to attend Fairfield University because it fit his needs perfectly, he said. The school had a good reputation and it was far enough away from his Milford home that he could live independently on campus, but close enough to get the support he needed from his doctors and physical therapists at Yale-New Haven and Norwalk hospitals.
While he was a college student, he became the first person to run a 5k and 10k road race without legs.
The school had to make some accommodations for him -- to the bathroom in his freshman dorm, for example. But he lived in the university's townhouses, and later at a rental on the local beachfront, where he was able to make a few minor changes to the house he leased -- not much different than hundreds of other students from the unviersity.
Another Fairfield University graduate, Andrew Chapin, the co-author with Tartaglio of a new book about Tartaglio's life, "From Tragedy to Triumph," met Tartaglio when Chapin was writing a story for the college newspaper after Tartaglio ran in the New York City marathon.
"Sitting down and talking with him candidly allowed me to realize that he was as ordinary as any other kid at the school," Chapin said. "He had transcended his disability."
Tartaglio graduated cum laude from Fairfield University in 2009. Chapin, now a middle-school English teacher in New Rochelle, N.Y., said he was honored when Tartaglio approached him about writing the book, which took more than a year. Tartaglio was the impetus behind the book from the beginning, and their partnership increased his admiration for his friend's ability to overcome whatever difficulties he faced.
"He is a role model for so many, whether they are disabled or able-bodied," Chapin said. "John brings out the best in anyone he comes into contact with."
And as unlikely as it may seem, Tartaglio said he feels lucky. Although he is one of fewer than 50 people in the nation who have contracted the kind of infection that cost him his legs, he feels that his success at living a normal life has been fortunate. He met his wife, Genevieve, in Milford shortly after graduating from college, and now they are the parents of a daughter who is clearly his pride and joy.
"I'm lucky enough to do more than I ever thought was possible," he said.
Tartaglio crosses the country as a motivational speaker, speaking about once a month, and has spoken locally at Housatonic Community College, Sacred Heart University, Oxford High School and other venues. He also runs when he has time and participates in triathlons -- swimming, biking with a hand cycle and racing in a wheelchair -- and runs other races using special running prosthetics.
"John is one of a kind, the only one in the world that has achieved these levels," Schaffer said. "He inspires all to do and be better ... to push the limits of what we thought was possible."
Tartaglio is often asked how he was able to accomplish so much, what kept him going despite the difficult circumstances of his life. What has gotten him through can be summed up in one sentence, he said, and it's his motto: "How far you fall doesn't determine who you are, it's how hard you work to get back up."

MagicBricks.com's New Year's Social App Goes Viral
Jan 23, 2013, 00:30 ET
NEW DELHI, January 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
India's No.1 Property Portal Drives Consumer Connect on Social
MagicBricks.com, the leader in the Indian online realty space, has been very proactive in connecting with its users, not just on the website, but on social media as well - becoming one of the pioneers in the Indian context of reaching out to its users on Facebook.
Having clocked over 45K likes, the Facebook page of MagicBricks.com sees a lot of activity, both from buyers and sellers, and serves as a valuable launch pad and feedback platform for gaining instant user insight and response.
In order to build brand connect and to engage this follower base, MagicBricks.com decided to launch a topical app aimed at the New Year - one that would enable users to "make a new year resolution". That's not all - the app came with a twist.
People normally forget new-year resolutions... this app came with a promise that it would help people remember their resolutions right through 2013 - by periodically posting their resolutions back on their timelines. This app was therefore rightfully named as "My Abiding Resolutions 2013".
My Abiding Resolutions of 2013 was launched in December 2012 and responses snowballed within just a few days of its launch. The active users on the app came from all parts of India & abroad and direct campaign influencers were over 400,000. Participants ranges across all age groups starting from 13 to 60 years.
Explaining the idea behind the app, Sudhir Pai, Business Head, MagicBricks.com explained, "We positioned My Abiding Resolutions 2013 as an attempt to 'Build a Relationship' and become part of our user's most intimate wishes. Resolutions were completely open ended and not necessarily linked to anything specific to MagicBricks.com."
"The overarching brand assurance was - MagicBricks.com will help you "not forget" your important resolutions or dreams. Based on user permission, the app will repost the commitment to each user's wall periodically. This will also give us opportunity to engage with these users with defined frequency in future," Pai added.
A voting leader board was created in the app itself so that users can search, view and vote for their favorite resolutions. Scores to decide the winners were displayed in realtime - ensuring transparency, as also promised on MagicBricks.com. In addition, a dedicated friends corner gave opportunity to participants to invite their friends to vote for them and generated some interesting interactions among participants.
Here are some Winning Voices of "Resolute" Participants -
Shakti Nayan's resolution: To get a makeover this year. I want to look different!
"Recalling 2012, I thought of making a resolution regarding getting better grades this year! However, I differed from it when my results went well. It's time now to work on my looks! Hence a resolution for an image makeover came in my mind and since MagicBricks gave me a chance, I made it public!
Thanks for this great initiative MagicBricks, it will prove to be a didactic for all of us, strengthening our thoughts towards visualization of what we have planned!"
Nidhi Bansal's resolution: To provide free education to at least 25 students.
"This app is fantastic and really appreciable. It is really very easy to operate it and also the most 'wowsum' thing is cover photo behind every resolution. It gave a really awesome look, overall loved it. I think 3 friends already voted for me. Love and proud to be a part of this initiative by MagicBricks.com."
Soni Shashi's resolution: To make myself well insured so that my family does not have to worry when I am not there.
"This is a very good app from MagicBricks.com. Many of my friends have also participated in this contest and we all competed to win. I made this resolution because I am a financial advisor and know the value of insurance."
Rinky Mehta's resolution: I will try to stay away from internet.
"Came to know about this wonderful application through the newspaper. I never ever saw a contest like this. I made this resolution because I used to spend a lot of time surfing internet and now I have glasses on my eyes."
Nitinn Sharma's resolution: I will control my anger.
"This is a really unique contest. I made this resolution because I suffered a lot in the previous year due to my anger."
Abbas Ali Arif's resolution: Help towards creating a better society with justice and equality for all, specially women.
"This is a really good initiative from MagicBricks.com. I made this resolution because I really want to follow it."
The list of winners of the competition is available on - https://www.facebook.com/magicbricksTOI/app_417054171697342
While the last date for submitting entries for the competition was 15th Jan, however the app will remain live - reinforcing convictions and resolutions throughout the year.
MagicBricks.com wishes you Success in 2013!

Flapping and feasting.
The socks. They have heel flaps.
I should be farther along on these socks, but I ran into technical difficulties. While knitting the first heel flap I was totally engrossed in an episode of Man Moment Machine. When the show ended, I looked at the heel flap and discovered that it was totally mucked up. I'm not quite sure what I did, but the stitch pattern was not what I thought I was knitting. So, I had to rip it and start over.
What does the color pink make you think of?
Rosy cheeks on a cold winter day.
Name something you thought you had lost, but later found.
The green and white checked blanket that was on my bed while I was growing up. A few years after I left home, I asked my mother to send it to me. She couldn't find it and we assumed it had been lost to the sands of time. A couple of years later, she came to visit me in Colorado and surprised me with the blanket. She had found it packed away in the basement and it was one of the best gifts I have ever received. The blanket is torn and tattered and I don't even use it anymore because it's in such horrible shape (one tug by a dog and it would be dust). However, I like knowing that it's stowed safely away and there whenever I want to see it.
In 3 words, describe this past week.
Lack of sleep.
Main Course
What are you obsessed with?
What kind of perfume or cologne do you like to wear?
I don't own perfume. This admission may require me to turn in one of my X chromosomes, but I've never been a perfume kind of girl.
Now, for more Kishka Chronicles. Besides taking forever to eat her meals, she also like to flip her food bowl.
This habit of hers can actually be quite adorable. It's also maddening because I'm always stepping on dog kibble.
I took the girls with me today while I ran errands. They both love the car, so it was quite a treat for them. When we arrived home, Samantha tried to chew on her Nylabone, but immediately fell asleep:
