There are many warning signs that may indicate that someone is either being bullied or bullying others. Recognizing the warning signs is an important first step in taking action against bullying. Not all children who are bullied or are bullying others ask for help.
Deborah Temkin is the bullying prevention coordinator at the U.S. Department of Education (ED). In that role, she works to ensure that efforts at ED and throughout the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention are based on the best available research and practice, and responsive to the needs of the bullying prevention field.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and it's important to remember that bullying can threaten students' physical and emotional safety at school, and can adversely impact their ability to learn. The best way to address bullying is to stop it before it starts.
On October 24th, the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention will host "School-Based Health Professionals Respond to Bullying" a webinar focused on bullying in school settings. This webinar, developed in collaboration with the National Association of School Nurses and the National Assembly of School-Based Health Care, will showcase on-the-ground perspectives from clinicians and students along with best practices for bullying prevention and response.
There are a number of things school-based networks can do to make schools safer and... Continue Reading

Over the past three years, at our annual Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention Summits, we have heard the same call by educators-– teachers want to help stop bullying, but they don't know how. Most try to help, but few receive training on how to do so. There are bullying prevention trainings available for teachers, but many are very expensive or not based on the best available research.
That is why the Department of Education and its Safe and Supportive Technical Assistance Center, set out to create a free, state-of-the-art training for classroom teachers on bullying. The two-part training aims to help teachers know the best practices to stop bullying on the spot and how to stop it before... Continue Reading

This month, groups across the country committed to stop bullying will release new resources, campaigns, and efforts aimed at bringing awareness to this important issue facing our youth.
Bullying Prevention Month is not new. In fact, it has been around for several years. What started as an awareness week initiated by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center in October 2006, the event has evolved into a month's... Continue Reading

The Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention are looking for informative and entertaining videos that send a positive message to youth about the importance of being "more than a bystander" to bullying in their schools and communities.
In August, U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan, called on America's youth to take the Stop Bullying Video Challenge. This contest gives young people another way to create a more positive and healthy environment in their schools and communities. Students are asked to submit videos answering the question: "How have you been more than a bystander?"
Encourage the youth in your life to submit original PSAs, 30 to 60 seconds in length, that show ways they are taking action against bullying and promoting a culture of kindness and respect in their communities. The deadline for submissions is October 14, 2012 at 11 PM EST. Youth between 13 and 18 years old are eligible to participate. Youth under 18 years of age must have written permission from a parent or guardian.
An expert panel of judges will help... Continue Reading

Today's kids use technology more than ever. While technology can be a great tool to communicate, learn, and socialize, it can also be used in harmful ways, and allow some kids to take bullying from school hallways into cyberspace. Cyberbullying happens when kids bully each other through electronic technology, including sending mean text messages, posting embarrassing photos on social networking sites, or creating fake profiles of another individual. Parents can help reduce these risks by talking to kids about Continue ReadingPosted in Cyberbullying

Bullying can affect everyone—those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Bullying is linked to many negative outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use, and suicide. It's important to talk to kids to determine whether bullying—or something else—is a concern. Kids who are bullied can experience negative physical health, school, and mental health issues. Marci Hertz is at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the Prevention Practice and Translation Branch of the Division of Violence Prevention. Marci oversees CDC's efforts related to youth violence prevention, including the STRYVE initiative (Striving to Reduce Youth Violence Everywhere). ... Continue ReadingPosted in Risk Factors

At the third Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention Summit, attendees asked for ways to easily access and understand the latest research on bullying. In an effort to respond to this request, the StopBullying.gov blog will from time-to-time feature briefs of recent research reports published in some of the top-tier research journals.
Many factors place students at risk for being bullied. Research published in the American Journal of Public Health finds that kids and teens from poor families are more likely to be bullied than others. The study, which surveyed over 160,000 students from nearly 6,000 schools in Europe and North America, also concluded that schools with the largest economic inequality (or a big difference...

Scott Hannah, 17, and Tyler Gregory, 18, know all too well the impact that bullying can have. As a result, they are both taking a stand against bullying in their community. Originally intending to simply raise awareness about bullying at their local South Charleston high school in Ohio, Scott and Tyler ended up leaving a much more significant impact on their community. After their local campaign at their high school peaked in success, the teens were inspired to expand their involvement with the anti-bullying movement and participate in the "Great American No BULL challenge," an...

Throughout the bullying prevention world, the phrase, "I have the solution to bullying!" is all too common. As attention to bullying has grown, so have the number of products and tools claiming to reduce or eliminate bullying in schools and communities. But do they work? This question may seem simple, but there are a lot of factors to consider, including the specific situation and context. The same strategies that may see tremendous success in one school might have no effect in another. So how can you identify what will work for you?
The first thing to keep in mind is whether there is evidence that the program or strategy works. Evidence usually means that the program or strategy has been tested or evaluated and has demonstrated results, such as, the program reduces bullying. But not all evidence is equal. Typically, for a program to be considered evidence-based, and... Continue Reading

Mystery author Parker Francis targets Florida's Gulf Coast in his latest mystery/thriller, Hurricane Island. Francis sends his private investigator to the fishing village of Cedar Key in the third installment of the Quint Mitchell Mystery series, where a relaxing visit with an old friend turns deadly.
Maybe you've thought about doing it, maybe you've done it, maybe you just don't know how it works or maybe you just haven't given it a try.
Friends of the Library
The Cedar Key Friends of the Library will hold its annual meeting at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 20. Light refreshments will be served.

One of the big social events on the island during the winter months is the Cedar Key Woman's Club spaghetti dinner held annually at the Community Center. Folks turn out in droves for a down home meal of spaghetti, marinara sauce, salad, garlic toast and dessert provided by the island's finest bakers.
But it is much more than a meal that brings them in the door, it's the social atmosphere as folks linger beyond the meal to catch up on what has been happening in the lives of the snowbird (winter) residents and locals' lives.
Bluegrass at Manatee
Folk and bluegrass vocal duet Dick Staber and Judith Chasnoff. will perform March 7 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the amphitheater in Manatee Springs State Park, which is located near the canoe launch. Bring a comfortable lawn chair or use the wooden benches.

The pups, many dressed in creative costumes, brought their owners to City Park at 4 p.m. to line up for a parade. Some dogs, whose humans knew better, did not dress up their canine companions.

Feeling shocked, frightened, and threatened, she locked herself in a car and called the police. "I was scared. I remember telling the dispatcher that 'I was going to do whatever I had to do to protect myself.' "
Upon arrival, the police found some pretty solid clues as to who was stalking and harassing Ms. Gilliam. Security tapes showed "a white male in a white Ford Explorer pull up next to her vehicle and place something on the windshield." The note was left on paper that had a State Farm policy number. Both of these are clear indications that this man was not too careful about not being caught, and, with a couple of hours of police work, could easily be apprehended.
But what did the police decide to do in light of this clear threat against Ms. Gilliam?
They told her that if she wanted to find her stalker, she could do it herself:
When The Log contacted the Sheriff's Office Tuesday, public information officer Michele Nicholson said the complaint was originally filed under criminal mischief, but since no damage had actually occurred to Gilliam's vehicle, the incident would be treated "more like a harassment issue."Gilliam is not overdoing it when she calls this act terrorism later in the article. The writer of the note has stalked her enough to know things about her; how she drives, her race. He is targeting her: he is making her to feel uncomfortable, terrified, and unsafe because of her status as a woman of color with disabilities.
"There are currently no leads, since the video footage from Wal-Mart didn't provide a good shot of the person and they could not be identified," she said.
Gilliam didn't buy that answer.
"There was a State Farm policy number on the envelope," she said. "They can start by calling them. I am not going to do the sheriff's job for them; I am a taxpayer."
After she was informed of the envelope of the identification number, Nicholson said there was no reason to contact the company and proceed because the "case was not criminal."
"Because of the way the statues read, there is nothing for us to pursue," she said, adding that Gilliam was free to pursue civil action against the perpetrator if she could identify him.
Gilliam is not imagining things; her recipient of racial harassment grew out of a social and individual need to terrify and stalk women at marginalized intersections. Her harasser's note was not benign, not an isolated incident: it implied that she was being watched, that if she didn't play nice, didn't drive the right speed, she would be subject to further harassment, and possibly violence. It violated a space that she clearly regarded as safe and turned it into a space fraught with terror, with no protection.
The police's blase response is a reflection of institutionalized racism on more than one level. The officers on the police force are not willing to take a taxpayer's fear and discomfort seriously because of her marginalized status; they completely erase the potential danger she may face by pursuing the person who is threatening her with vile slurs. The law makers they hide behind have declined to write laws protecting citizens from attacks based on race or disability from criminal law. Furthermore, they apparently don't have very strong laws against stalking or harassment, a crime that disproportionately affects women.
The police of Destin, Florida are sending a clear message by dismissing and minimizing Ms. Gilliam's complaint. They are clearly stating that the lives, safety, and comfort of people of color, people with disabilities, and women are not valuable, not worth police time; they are giving stalkers and harassers who target people on the margins carte blanche to do as they please without repercussion.

Green Bay's Wardle Named NABC District 12 Coach of the Year
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay head men's basketball coach Brian Wardle has been named the 2014 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) UPS District 12 Coach of the Year, the NABC announced.
Wardle joins Dick Bennett (1992, 1994) and Mike Heideman (1996) as Green Bay head coaches to have won the honor. Previously, Wardle was also named the Horizon League Coach of the Year and a finalist for the Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award.
In his fourth season at the helm at Green Bay, Wardle guided the Phoenix to the program's best season in nearly two decades. Green Bay posted a 24-7 overall record and used a 14-2 mark in Horizon League play to claim the conference's regular season title for the first time since 1995-96.
Wardle completed his fourth season at the helm of the Green Bay program in 2013-14 and has an overall record of 71-55. The Phoenix has improved its overall and Horizon League win totals in each of the past four seasons.

text: What are your comments about The tigers so far at the 54 game mark. With a 30-24 record, they are on pace for a 90-72 finish. Is that good enough for the defending AL Champions? Or is good enough to make the playoffs ,good enough . ..not for me...Here's my trois season grades: HITTING....B- Too many players left on base. Runners unable to score from second. Almost NO stolen bases. If it wasnt for Cabrera's AAA+++ season, the grade would be 'C-'!! My MVP pick Prince is starting to come around after a sorry May and there was no Quentin Berry this year to make for the loss of AJackson...Oh Wait-There is: Avasail Garcia!! JUST PLAY THE KID, Leyland! I swear he reminds me of a right handed Kirk Gibson. I'd trade Castellanos before Garcia. A's- Cabrera, Tuisasosopo, Pena, Peralta B's- Fielder, Hunter, Infante, Garcia C's- Jackson, Dirks D's- Martinez, Kelly F's- Avila, Santiago PITCHING.....B- The starters have been as good as advertised. Hopefully they will continue at their 6-7 inning pace and also COMPLETE more games. Porcello is hit and miss but as 5th starters go, he may among the best. The bullpen though?? sans Drew Smyly -a TRAINWRECK! They just look so scared. Benoit has had a good 8th inning season and they show potential when they are NOT leading by 1-2 runs. Its weird how much better they are when we are losing 1-0 than winning 4-2. We need a shocking trade to get a closer by aug 1. A's- Sanchez, Scherzer, Benoit, Smyly B's- Verlander, Fister D's- Everybody else MANAGER......C+ Too much of a familiar song with an old refrain. I dont get Leyland-never have , never will. He IS a player's manager though and runs a great clubhouse. Imagine my grade if he didnt. MVP- Cabrera Cy Young- Scherzer Rookie of the Year- ?? Overall Grade: B- Too good to be this mediocre

Benghazi is Starting to Blow Up
You know things are bad when ABC starts reporting what the conservative news outlets have been reporting for months ....
The Hill is also reporting that the House Committee that was investigating this is reopening Hilary's involvement.
If they do that, you can kiss any Presidential campaign good bye.

Re: Benghazi is Starting to Blow Up
Almost as big a scandal as the lack of security and white-washing/cover-up by the government is the complicity of the so-called 4th Estate in swallowing the propaganda from the government almost without question.
Reason did a good job of compiling the propaganda sellers and buyers within the media: http://reason.com/archives/2013/05/0...-hall-of-shame
The fact that the initial spin resulted in an American citizen being thrown in jail for basically exercising his 1st amendment rights is ironic x10.

Re: Benghazi is Starting to Blow Up
I think it was Rush who said HIlly might have hurt her chances to run for Prez with this Libya stuff.
Bullshit man. The fucking liberals in this country just don't care. This administration can do whatever it wants.
As for the press reporting it now, they sure didn't when it counted like
during the campaign. Romney didn't even do a good job hammering it home
in the debates.
Best leave this alone so we can forget about it and move on and just
let Hilly take the White House so more Americans can die.
The fucking libbies just don't give a damn.
Should be interesting to see what comes of this.
It pisses me off that other news outlets are still dramatically trying to squash this saying this is just the Republicans making something out of nothing. I keep hearing "it's been over for months" when the fact of the matter is nothing was ever really started for it to be declared "over" because there was an election that needed to be won.
I'm not interested in this because I want there to be a witch hunt against the president and his constituents. I'm interested because these people are trusted with immense power to the point that they hold men and women's lives in their hands. If a mistake is made we have every right to know who/why/how etc. I don't doubt at all that this is more than likely a case of incompetence than it is criminality, but dammit we have the right to make that decision for our selves based off of the evidence.
Edit: One thing that I didn't mention is, although the initial blunders may have been incompetence and not criminality, the lengths at which they've gone to cover their incompetence is certainly flirting with criminality.

Couldn't agree more, Sir.
Incompetence led to the deaths of 4 people but the cover up is just as bad as the original screw up and it was all done to get someone elected.
As for the media, this is the lowest they've ever slumped, save ABC who has been reporting the hell out of it. Out of simplicity, I watch Today with the wife every morning and it was a mere mention in their news segment but they spun it just like you said -- it's the GOP and nobody else who are concerned over this.
Four people f-cking died!!!!!!! And to listen to the media, it's as if it's a matter of routine.
Re: Benghazi is Starting to Blow Up
While I agree the actions after the incident of the administration needs to be investigated, I won't say that incompetence led to those deaths.
There isn't a whole lot that could've been done before or during the attack to save them. Not an excuse, but that is the reality of the situation. Hell we're still planning and reviewing Benghazi for future similar incidents at AFRICOM.
Now what and when the administation knew certain things is up for debate and questions need to be asked.The possible "cover-up" needs to be investigated.

As for after the attack started, we'll never know because they didn't even attempt to help. Merely sending a loud low-flying jet over the area could have caused the attackers to flee. And the argument that 911 emergency calls can be ignored because "most likely we won't get there in time" is a very pathetic one.
Even if it ends up being the case that help arrives too late, it is never excusable to not send help, never. I know you said it isn't a good excuse, but I think even mentioning it is completely irrelevant, almost insulting; it doesn't diminish the culpability in the least even if it might have been true.
Whether something could have been done we'll never hear the full story on, but regardless (and this falls largely on Bush as well) , our embassies and consulates have had a rough decade, and that to me warrants some serious attention.
Bottom line is this isn't a Left or a Right issue, this is an American politics issue.
Competing parties despise each other so much that in the process we refuse to hold members of our own parties responsible for their actions for fear of admiting any weakness. This willfully obsequious attitude toward our favorite parties is revolting, and has turned American politics into a consequence free playground.
You hear politicians and differing party advocates clamor about bipartisanship, and to me this is the exactly the kind of thing that warrants bipartisan attention, and be labeled utterly and completely reprehensible.Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Re: Benghazi is Starting to Blow Up
No one is saying ignore 911 calls. But this isn't a movie. The military is on alert for every possible threat world wide. During the attack we didn't know the size of the attacking force and potentially what weapons they had. You would be sending any force in blind. By the time we at AFRICOM had any information worth acting on, the attack was over.
Apart of me feels like some in the GOP may be forcing the issue for the political reasons.
Re: Benghazi is Starting to Blow Up
If people knew just the locations of most of are embassies they would be outraged. Most of our embassies in Africa are in the worst possible locations, rural areas that are not easily accessible...plus all embassies are guarded by host nation civilians. Yes the Marines are stationed there, but the Marines are guard the interior. The civilians guard the ECPs (Entry Control Points)/perimeters.
What a shame that we gamble with men and women's lives so carelessly at some of these embassies, and for what? I'm a realist, and I know that the MYOB policy that many people seem to claim would be realistic for the USA to follow just flat out isn't, but I can't help but wonder how and where we could find some middle ground regarding our global military MO.
The military insight is always interesting, Dade. Thanks.Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Watergate was the Dems pushing what most people thought was a simple burglary.
Nobody died in Watergate. Four people died in Libya and one side is doing everything possible to stonewall a complete investigation.
I'd say the politics is, at a minimum, flowing on both sides.

I'm having mixed feelings about Salt Lake City hosting the Winter Olympics yet again.
Do we really need to spend zillions to stage another big show? Wouldn't it be better to hunker down, get our priorities straight and beef up education funding, help those in need, revamp our medical care and create an actual two-party system of governance?
On the other hand, the 2002 Games made a profit, sending millions into public schools and nonprofits.
As for me, and this is purely selfish, I pretty much missed the 2002 spectacle. Like many of my colleagues at The Salt Lake Tribune, I watched the whole thing for, oh, about 12 hours a day on a 13-inch TV suspended above my desk.
There I learned that Mitt Romney almost certainly dropped the F-bomb when a traffic mess kept thousands away from the downhill races at Snowbasin, and that he did look handsome in his fancy Olympic parka.
On the other hand, I never bought that he was the walking-one-and-only savior of the 2002 Games. Too many people worked for years to organize, prepare and execute the Games. The bad actors were long gone, but the good ones stayed on and got things done.
Romney did, however, persuade sponsoring corporations to not withdraw Olympic funding after the scandal, so we can give him that.
Also, Utah taxpayers were repaid $59 million plus interest from a 1989 referendum to help pay for the Games. Of a $100 million profit on the Olympics, $76 million went to the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation to run the luge, bobsled and ski jumps in Park City and the speed-skating oval in Kearns.
The remaining $24 million went to Utah school districts and nonprofits.
Back in 2002, seeing the tattered American flag from ground zero during the opening ceremony brought tears. We also learned that Hill Air Force Base fighter pilots were trained to take down a passenger jet in the event of another terrorist hijacking.
Downtown Salt Lake City was a hive of crowded sidewalks, clots of scalpers on Main Street and packed TRAX trains.
And, miracle of miracles, the LDS Church taught its members how not to proselytize.
Just down the street, Lamb's Grill hosted throngs of Europeans catered to by waiters and waitresses carrying huge platters laden with beer bottles.
I did make it to the Roots outlet, but I didn't buy a beret, I swear.
For a long time during the Games, the Salt Lake Valley was socked in by an inversion. That dreariness evaporated when we watched the ski racing and snowboarding on TV. (I scored a ticket so my husband could go to Soldier Hollow for a day of biathlon.)
And late every night, I'd drive home past the Olympic Cauldron, which was extinguished after a stunning closing ceremony at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
I could be in my dotage by 2026, but I'd like to bundle up and see a few things. Snagging a ticket to ice dancing would be thrilling, as would actually seeing soaring men and women at the ski jumps.
Lastly, if we get the Games again, a whole new generation would compete in existing sports and those that haven't even been invented.
No one knows whether Salt Lake City even has a shot at the 2026 Winter Olympics. But if the success of the 2002 Winter Games is a factor, we just might, and it would sure be sweet to be there.

How about an "Opportunity to Work Act" for the rest of us? Veterans should not be allowed to step in front of those of us who have been unemployed for monthe and even years.
Just when will the veteran give-away party ever end?

We are a creative communications agency made up of people from advertising, design, digital, media and social strategy. We have the hunger and energy of a start up with the resource and reach of a network.
Driving along and your phone pings with a new text alert. Quick read of the message; maybe a one-word
reply; and your eyes are back on the road. No harm done…
Since 2011 the number of casualties* caused by drivers who are distracted by their mobile phone has
increased by a quarter (24%). In light of this, the AA Charitable Trust is raising awareness of the dangers of distracted driving with a new spot by adam&eveDDB to be shown in cinema and online.
The commercial highlights the underrated danger of texting whilst driving with a narrative that follows a couple leaving a nightclub: the woman, who is the designated driver for her intoxicated boyfriend, starts to
reply to a text as they start their journey. The boyfriend notices and suggests they swap places, in a move that makes a bold statement on the dangers of using a mobile phone whilst driving.
The spot is supported by the Department for Transport's Think! campaign, who create road safety information and campaigns to reduce road deaths. The new ad coincides with new stricter penalties being introduced today (1 March) for those caught using hand-held phones whilst driving.
The ad was directed by James Rouse from Outsider. It launches online on 1st March and will be in cinema
from 3rd March.
Edmund King OBE, AA president, said: "There has been much rhetoric about making text driving as socially
unacceptable as drink driving. We have seen excellent drink drive campaigns over the decades that have
changed attitudes. We believe that adam&eveDDB brilliantly interpreted the brief and have come up with a
clever treatment that builds on the drink drive campaigns and makes text driving as socially unacceptable as drink driving."

Visiting cities such as those on this tour is a wonderful experience and I totally appreciate how lucky I am to have the opportunity.
For most football fans the chance to visit new stadia is also a major aspect and they don't come much more iconic in recent times than Beijing's Bird's Nest.
The timings of this part of the trip led to it being a whistle-stop tour of the Chinese capital and after yesterday's early start to see the Great Wall, a few relaxing pre-match cold ones were order of the day.
Approaching the stadium as it glowed orange in the darkening skies was certainly something to behold and taking our seats high up in the stand it was fantastic to see just how much red and white there was throughout.
It was another good workout for the squad who looked comfortable and promising without a cutting edge. We were a little unlucky to lose on the night, especially considering the shot from Oxlade-Chamberlain which hit both posts.
Despite this part of the world having seen a deluge of rain in recent weeks, the downpour that started midway through the game was the first I had seen on my particular travels. And boy did it come down!
Us football fans are very determined chaps, however, so the weather was not going to put a dampener on what had been a great experience, despite the result.
Today has once again been hectic with an early morning flight (on one of the brand new A380 'double decker' planes) bringing us to Hong Kong for the final leg of the tour.
A ferry across the harbour and into Kowloon gave us our first views of the incredible skyline and took us to another 'Fans Party', the second chance to witness the passion from Gooners in this part of the world.
Tonight we fully intend to enjoy the city's Saturday nightlife before tomorrow's final game of Asia 2012.
Just a few hours here has already confirmed how exciting and vibrant Hong Kong is as a city. I cannot wait to try and take in as much as possible during my stay.
Up the Gunners.

Senior midfielder Maria Kotas set a new Canisius single-game record of 14 points (eight goals and six assists) and tied the single-game goals record in Canisius' 23-15 win over Quinnipiac (1-9, 1-1 MAAC) on Sunday.
Kotas' 14 points ties for fourth in NCAA Division I history and is the most points scored by anyone since 2007. The total also ties the MAAC record for points in a game.
The Lancaster, N.Y. native also picked up a game-high five ground balls and tied for the team lead with two caused turnovers.
"Maria Kotas was awesome today," said head coach Scott Teeter. "She stepped up when we needed it most and her performance really ignited our other top players as well."
In addition to Kotas, Canisius got multi-goal games out of four other players, with the each starting attacker – juniors Tori Quinn, Meghan Cuddy and sophomore Taylor Giglio – scoring four goals for the Griffs. Sophomore midfielder Ashley Bull netted three goals as well to round out the Canisius scoring.
Kotas did most of her goal scoring in the first half, racking up five of Canisius' nine goals at the break to give the Griffs a two-goal advantage.
The Griffs then broke out for 14 second half goals to put the game away, with the help of a 5-0 run which took a 12-11 advantage to a six goal lead at the midway point of the second.
The Blue and Gold was able to get the second half advantage in part due to controlling the draws. The Griffs held a 15-8 advantage in restarts in the second half after leading in the category 9-8 in the first half.
The Griffs also went 14-of-15 on clears in the contest.
Canisius moves to 6-5 overall and 2-1 in MAAC play this season, and will take on Siena (3-8, 1-1 MAAC) in Loudonville, N.Y. on Wednesday. First draw is scheduled for 4 p.m.
GAME NOTES: The previous school record for points was 10, held by Alana Chan, Lauren Walsh and Carly Quinn… The NCAA record for points in a game is 16 held by Karen Emas of Delaware and Stacey Morlang from Loyola... Kotas' eight goals tied Ashley Curtis (vs. Robert Morris, March 6, 2010) and Carly Quinn (vs. Manhattan, April 1, 2011)… Kotas moved into fifth on the all-time points list in the game as well (167), moving past former Griff Whitney Card (164)… The 23 goals ties the second-most in program history, with the only other time the Griffs hit the mark coming on April 16, 2008 in a 23-5 win over Niagara… The total is three shy of the program record – a 26-1 victory over Binghamton in 2002.

Get your genealogy research on track by using this model to create your own plan of attack. Below is a sample research plan I used for finding information about my paternal great-grandfather, Mihaly Fenscak.
1. Objective: Find the birth, marriage and death dates.
2. Known Facts: Look in home and family sources.
3. Working Hypothesis: Mihaly Fenscak was born in Posa, Slovakia, married there and had two children. His first wife died and then he married Illa. Their first child was born in Liverpool, England, and then they arrived in America. While in Freeland, Pa., their daughter Anna was born, and then they eventually returned to Slovakia where their final two children, Elizabeth and Michael were born. Mihaly and Illa both died in Slovakia. Their three daughters eventually settled in America, and their son in Argentina. Mihaly's children from first wife: John settled in America; Anna stayed in Slovakia and married.

I can vouch for the protective part. My customer had one....for about 6 months and one day it decided it did not like me.I serviced the pool weekly, so the dog saw me every week. I was walking back to my truck and the dog came around the corner of the house...and its eyes told me I was dead. It attacked...it went for my left hand/forearm, but I lifted it out of the way. So it bit me about 4" to the left of my boys. It knocked me flying, but I stuck my arm back and did a flip, which is what I believe saved my life. He lunged at me again, but my flip moved me away from where he was attacking. He brushed against me and missed. The pool equipment was on a 4 foot platform(flood plain). I was able to climb on top of the filter. He tried for the next 15 min. to climb up there and kill me. The homeowner finall came out of the house and put it up
I ended up with a nasty black bruise and 4 bumps, where his fangs were located, sticking out about the size of eggs. He was not able to get hold of me...I was very lucky.He weighed 187 lbs. and I weighed 193. They finally got rid of him, because it happened again with a friend of they're sons. Good luck. Hope this helps.

On CNN's Crossfire : Two Republican reps distanced themselves from Limbaugh
Research ››› ››› KATIE BARGE
Two Republican members of Congress, Representative Peter King (R-NY) and Representative Mike Pence (R-IN) -- appearing on CNN's Crossfire on May 12 and May 14 respectively -- disassociated themselves from radio host Rush Limbaugh's statements comparing the torture of Iraqi prisoners to a college fraternity prank:
From the May 14 Crossfire:
CROSSFIRE CO-HOST PAUL BEGALA: Congressman Pence, the group Media Matters for America is running an ad condemning Rush Limbaugh for comparing the prisoner abuse to a fraternity prank. Do you join in that condemnation or do you support Limbaugh's characterization of those atrocities?
REPRESENTATIVE MIKE PENCE (R-IN): I thought that characterization by Rush Limbaugh was very unfortunate. I think the behavior of those military personnel was truly disgraceful. They need to be brought to justice and any superiors responsible for that behavior need to be held to account.
From the May 12 Crossfire:
CROSSFIRE CO-HOST PAUL BEGALA: Congressman King, do you agree with the intellectual godfather, really, of the conservative movement and the Republican Party? And that is, of course, Rush Limbaugh, who compared the treatment of these prisoners to a fraternity initiation and in fact a Skull and Bones initiation, which is some sort of secret society at Yale. Do you agree with that or do you condemn those remarks?
REPRESENTATIVE PETER KING (R-NY): I wouldn't use those remarks at all.

Nine times out of ten, there is no easy way. Passwords are designed to be difficult to break, so that only the right person (or a person determined enough) can access it. Zod knows that I've forgotten my share of passwords in my time.
And this becomes more difficult as every program, website and card seems to require its own password. Also, within the last six months, password requirements seems to have increased from a six-character string to an eight-character string. It's enough to make a guy want to tear his hair out!
So let's take a second to look at passwords and how to make and remember them. Ideally, a password should be, as one website that I set up a membership on said, "a random string of eight to sixteen characters that will be easy for you to remember". I'm not entirely sure how ANY random string is supposed to be easy to remember. One way to make a password LOOK random, though, is to place numbers, capital letters or symbols into the password. For instance, a completely lousy password that many non-computer people use as their password for just about anything is "password". Trust me – this is the first thing that any hacker or hacking program tries. A NON-lousy version of the same thing that would be just as easy to remember is "Pa$$w0rd". At a glance, this looks like a random string of letters and symbols, but the person who placed that as their password will know the key. You could also replace some of the letters with numbers, such as "Pa55w0rd".
Another trick, if you just want an alphabetical password, is what's called "character shift". This means that, instead of using the letter, you use the key directly to its right. You can't use left, because there are no characters on the keys directly to the left of the q, a and z buttons. By doing this you also wind up with some characters in your password if it contains p, l or m. So, using this method, "password" becomes "{sddeptf" (one thing that I will tell you about my password method is that I always capitalize the first letter).
When it comes to adding numbers to your passwords, pick a date that is significant to you and use that. For instance, my son's birthday (very significant to me) is 7/29/89. So, for instance, if I were to use that as my significant date, and wanted to use both letters and numbers in a password, I might use the first three letters of my name and my son's birthday, Ran072989.
One thing that you DON'T want to do, however, is to use the same password for everything. If you do that, then once someone figures out one password, they know all of them. So you would have to figure out a system by which you could create unique passwords as needed from this formula.
Another thing that plagues people is remembering PIN numbers.
I have less cards than most people, one credit and two debit that I routinely use, and I had trouble keeping the three four-digit numbers straight. And DO NOT use things like your birth year or the year that you were married for something like this.
My suggestion for PIN numbers that are easy to remember but hard to guess is to use a four-digit string from the front of your card as your PIN. I know people that use the first four digits, but this is the easiest to guess. I would recommend coming up with some way to come up with a starting number between one and sixteen that's easy for you to remember, then you have your password for all of your cards. For instance, if you were born in May, you might start all of your strings at the fifth digit. And you could make it even tougher for crooks to crack by only using even or odd digits in your PIN after that fifth digit. So, for instance, if yours were the card pictured above, and you were born in May, you could use 5678, 5797 or 6886.
Failing all of this, you could just keep all of your passwords and PINs written down in a pocket-sized notebook. But if you're going to use this method, be sure to keep the notebook separate from your computer and your wallet.
Hope that this helps.

Got an email from the FFHS this morning about a meeting that they attended regarding cuts at the LMA. Amongst the information given was news about what Ancestry is releasing next from the LMA. It seems that London wills and Electoral Rolls will go online later this year along with the 1911 census. These releases will be followed by City of London Freedoms and talks are being held with the Livery Companies about digitising their records which are held by the LMA.
So good news, plenty of helpful London additions coming our way. It was interesting to note that the 1911 census will be included in all subscriptions not just the more expensive ones. Findmypast has had a good run with their exclusive offering of the 1911 census and I am sure they paid dearly for that right, but it will be good to see the census more widely available and affordable.

LMS 4.2 runs very slowly
I installed Cisco Prime LMS using the small server (up to 500 devices) virtual appliance OVA. It was set up with the standard settings for the OVA - 2 vCPUs, 4 Gb RAM, and 256Gb disk. Web interface is very slow. I have less than 200 devices. What should I tune/check for to improve performance, hopefully without having to dedicate more compute resources? Could this be an issue with my browser or version of java instead of the server?

Here you will find a VERY comprehensive explanation that I received from a friend in the state who looked into it. He is a retired DEC Biologist and very knowledgeable.....
Take it slow.....
Gents (and others),
At first, I too thought this was an awfully amazing coincidence! So I did some research and contacted Conservation Fund Advisory Board (CFAB) Chairman, Jason Kemper. Jason's a good man, and I trust him thoroughly. This may be more than y'all wanted to know, but here goes:
In brief, the License Fee Structuring Proposal has been in the works for over a year, with discussions at CFAB meetings dating back to at least February, 2012 - long before the SAFE Act was initiated. I guess the question that still remains is: could it be that the timing of the governor's inclusion of this in his Executive Budget during the 30-day period was based on some thought of bone-throwing to us hook and bullet dogs affected by the SAFE Act? Some of you closer than I to Mr. Cuomo will have to ferret out that information!
One of the stimuli for the license fee restructuring proposal is that the Conservation Fund, which receives its revenues primarily from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses, has been developing a huge surplus since the last sporting license fee increase was approved. This is primarily because the NYS Division of Budget, at the governor's behest, has been severely limiting the allocation of dollars to DEC's Division of Fish and Wildlife. Consequently, few, if any, new hires have been added as people retired or moved onward, and programs have suffered. Yet the Conservation Fund now has a surplus of over $50 million! As it grows, it becomes more noticeable in the hallowed halls of state government, and more likely to attract attempted raids.
Following are some of Jason Kemper's comments on the matter:
Currently, revenue to the Conservation Fund Main Account is trending just above $50,000,000.00, [and] expenditures are trending around $35,000,000.00 (may be a slight
jump for the 2012-2013 fiscal year). Therefore, approximately $15,000,000.00 has been added to the Conservation Fund balance every year since the license fee increase.
The projected reduction of $5,200,000 in revenue is just that a projection and could possibly be much lower. The conservative assumption is being made that no more licenses will be sold as a result of this proposal when in reality the proposed license fee plan could promote additional sales especially with the fishing license being good for one year at time of purchase and other improvements and simplification with the license fee structure.
Regardless of the above two bullets, a surplus is predicted even when compared with the 2008 spending levels [some of the highest in recent history] if the new license fee proposal was to be adopted.
CFAB carefully considered revenues and expenditures to the Conservation Fund during the process of trying to simplify the license structure. The proposed license structure is a balance between continuing to ensure the long term stability of the balance in the Conservation Fund along with bringing revenues more in line with current expenditures as well as any expenditures into the foreseeable future.
We are continuing to fight to get our programs and staffing levels back to where they were at pre license fee increase and encourage other sportsmen organizations to do the same.
Jason's response to questions received from others:
1. Q. You are talking about taking in roughly 6 million dollars less each year with this license fee reduction. Why not keep license rates the same use that 6
million dollars each year and fix our Fish Hatcheries? At one time they projected it would take 20 million to repair all of fish hatcheries.
A. This is very complex, but in short the DEC is not being allocated the money necessary to make these improvements and the reduction of staffing levels has made it very difficult to get these projects moved forward. In addition, traditionally these improvements have come out of the Capital Program (with a lot of it being funded by General Fund money) not the conservation fund. CFAB is continuing to look for a long term solution to sustain the viability of the fish hatcheries.
2. Q. In this proposal for reduction of fees to CAFB it is stated that it will "Generate sufficient revenue to sustain fish and wildlife program". Does that mean we will keep just the programs we have now?
A. No, CFAB is continuing to work on improving the fish and wildlife program.
3. Q. Will we get back programs and personnel that we have lost since the last license fee increase with the reduction if fees?
A. See comments above, CFAB will and encourages all other sporting organizations to continue to fight for the improvement of the fish and wildlife program
4. Q. With this reduction you have stated that it will be at least 5 years before we cross over into the red in the fund. How many years could we go if the fees stayed the same?
A. See comment above on revenue and projections. Keep in mind that the 5 years stated in the proposal is an extremely conservative approach and is based on selling the exact same amount of licenses. The CFAB believes that license sales will increase as a result of this proposal and therefore the reduction in revenue may not occur. Even with a reduction in revenue the board believes that this proposal will keep the Conservation Fund solvent well past the 5 years detailed in the proposal.
5. Q. If we were allowed to spend the money in the Conservation fund on our programs and increased the number of personnel back to levels back to 2009. How long before we would need another fee increase?
A. During the fiscal year prior to the license fee increase (2008-2009) the disbursements from the Conservation Fund were approximately $42,000,000.00. This was the largest amount disbursed in the last 10 years. Revenues currently are at approximately $50,000,000.00, even with a slight reduction in revenue IF it happens the balance in the fund could conceivably still grow even if we went back to pre 2009 staffing levels.
6. Q. Where did this proposal come from on reducing these Fee's - DEC or CFAB?
A. CFAB has been having discussions on simplifying the license fee structure for several months and came up with a proposal in September of 2012. The Board requested that the DEC present the proposal to the Governors Office and that it be included in the Executive Budget proposal. It was not included in the Executive Budget and CFAB has requested it be included during the 30 day amendment period.
Hope you found this helpful. If you wish, send comments or questions to your CFAB reps or Chairman Jason Kemper.

Sea Ray Results and Live Updates Page
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
Dee Dee Trotter picked up two NCAA regional qualifying marks, while Christie Elwin and Janine Tessarzik added one each Friday to pace the University of Tennessee women's track & field team on the third day of the Sea Ray Relays at Tom Black Track.
UT's success came on a day where early morning showers gave way by late afternoon to clearing skies and, finally, sunshine. The first 2 1/2 days of the meet had been dampened by steady rain, which hampered competitors in both the heptathlon and decathlon and limited entries in Thursday night's distance races.
Trotter, a sophomore from Decatur, Ga., clocked an 11.77 in the 100-meter dash to place fifth and earn a ticket to the NCAA Mideast Regional in Columbus, Ohio, on May 30-31. An hour-and-a-half later, Trotter zipped to a 23.91 reading in the 200 meters to finish seventh and land her second qualifying mark of the day. It was also her third of the season, following the NCAA confirmation in the 400 meters (53.99) she secured at the season-opening Adidas Raleigh Relays on March 28.
Tessarzik, who was already booked for the Ohio trip with her 169-3/51.58m effort in the hammer throw at last weekend's
SEC Challenge, made the grade in the discus on Friday afternoon. The junior from Altamont, N.Y., managed a toss of
150-4/45.82m to place 13th in the invitational division and guarantee herself at least two events in Columbus.
As for Elwin, the senior from Adelaide, Australia, forged a second-place finish in the pole vault with an outdoor season-best clearance of 12-4/3.76m. That improved her previous NCAA regional qualifier of 12-0/3.66m, which she charted at the Adidas Raleigh Relays. Georgia's Kierney Hiteshew traversed the same height as Elwin but won by virtue of fewer misses.
Three of Tennessee's other four vaulters reported in with outdoor career-best heights. That trio included sophomore Jamie Rebella (Merrill, Wis.), who was 14th at 11-2.25/3.41m; freshman Jessica Reust (Knoxville, Tenn.), who was 20th at 10-8.25/3.26m; and redshirt freshman Jessica Andrews (Rockford, Tenn.), who tied for 21st at 10-2.50/3.11m. Redshirt freshman Kendra Rhyne (Andersonville, Tenn.) was unable to clear her opening height.
In the first running event of the day, junior Erin Anderson checked in with a third-place performance of 10:02.90 in the Open 3000 meters. The Kent, Ohio, native was just four seconds off the victorious 9:58.97 pace of Malone's Judy Kocsis.
Elsewhere, Tessarzik was 16th in the hammer throw at 161-8/49.28m; sophomore Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.) was 29th in the 400m dash at 56.85 and 39th in the 200m dash at 25.93; and sophomore Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.), junior Christy Baird (Knoxville, Tenn.) and junior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) were 34th, 35th and 38th in 4:43.04, 4:44.40 and 4:47.97, respectively, in the 1500 meters.
Additionally, junior Christina Billings (Madison, Wis.) and senior Amber Ayub (Knoxville, Tenn.) were 25th and 36th in 64.96 and 76.55, respectively in the 400-meter hurdles; and freshmen Caitlin Ward (Gibsonia, Pa.) and Catherine Wright (Knoxville, Tenn.) were 33rd and 34th in 16.65 and 17.97, respectively, in the 100m hurdles.
"I saw a lot of progress out there today," UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "We demonstrated the kind of development we're making with the NCAA regional qualifying marks, the personal records and the season bests. We continue to display improvement each time out, and I like that.
"We will strive to improve each week until we are at the point of competing on a national level. That's my goal for this program, and we will take steps to achieve that meet by meet. It will take some time, but we'll pursue our goals one step at a time."
Former Lady Vol Alisa Harvey led a group of 1500-meter runners with Tennessee ties. Harvey cranked out a 4:27.92 pace in the 1500 meters to place fourth, while ex-UT standout Maureen Ferris was eighth in 4:30.42. Jearl Miles-Clark, wife of J.J. Clark, took 11th in 4:31.41, while J.J.'s sister, Hazel, was 16th at 4:33.13. Both ran that distance as part of their training plan this week.
Other finishers on the day with Lady Vol connections included former UT volunteer assistant coach Aretha Hill, who won the discus for the third-straight season at 177-4/54.06m; ex-Lady Vol All-American Diane Slinden, who was ninth in the discus at 160-4/48.88; and former Indiana State thrower Jennifer Folz, who is coached by Lady Vol assistant Cathrine Erickson and forged a fourth-place effort in the hammer with a sling of 198-5/60.47m. Val Fleming, a graduate assistant with UT's strength staff, took sixth in the javelin with a throw of 158-5/48.29m.
Saturday's action for Tennessee includes Tessarzik in the shot put as well as Lady Vol quartets in the 4x100m, distance medley, 4x200m and 4x400m relays. Women's action begins at 1 p.m. and concludes at 5:20 p.m.


text: DH and I plan to take off the week before or after 7/4 to have a road trip in Eastern Canada. We live in Central NJ and will have 9 full days. So far we know we definitely want to visit Montreal and Quebec City. But are kind of not sure what else are must sees. Wonder if anyone can give us some suggestions? How about Parc du Mont Tremblant? Do you recommend it? How about Nova Scotia? It will be a long drive, is it worth it? We plan to find budget motels along the way and won't mind camping a day or two. A little info about us: we are 30 (me) and 31 (DH), no kids. Love nature, historical sites and architecture. We are not into shopping or drinking. (getting too old for that ) Any suggestion is highly appreciated! TIA!!

"Georgia Brown has an official genius-rated IQ - Intelligence Quotient - of 152
This puts her in the same intellectual league, proportionate to her age, as physicist Stephen Hawking.
According to an expert in gifted children, Georgia is the brightest two-year-old she has ever met.
Parents Martin and Lucy Brown have always regarded their youngest child as a remarkably quick learner.
She was crawling at five months and walking at nine months.
By 14 months, she was getting herself dressed.
"She spoke really early - by 18 months she was having proper conversations," Mrs Brown said.
"She would say, 'Hello I'm Georgia, I'm one'. She was also putting her shoes on and putting them on the right feet."
Georgia was so perceptive that after one outing to the theatre to see Beauty and the Beast she solemnly informed her parents: "I didn't like Gaston (the villain). He was mean and arrogant."
