Jeter's Leaders meet with Merrill Lynch
Contributions from Dianne, New York Jeter's Leaders member since 2011
July 2012
On July 16, 2012, the new inductees and rising sophomores of the Jeter's Leaders program traveled as a group to the Merrill Lynch office in New York. The Jeter's Leaders were invited to hear from employees in various departments of the company. Some of these presenters included Joseph Zerillo, Mark Benedetto and Erin Distler.
Mark Benedetto, the assistant vice president and operations consultant, was the first to welcome and speak to the Leaders. Mr. Benedetto has been with the company for more than 20 years. He emphasized the family atmosphere that Merrill Lynch offers to all its workers as one of the reasons he has been there for so many years. He then stated that Merrill Lynch has many divisions and that he was in charge of interviewing the financial division's prospective workers. When looking for new candidates, Mr. Benedetto looks for strong and enthusiastic personalities that would fit in well with the company.
One of those strong and enthusiastic personalities that Mr. Benedetto hired is Erin Distler, a client advisor with the company. After Mr. Benedetto, Ms. Distler also spoke to the Leaders about her position within the company. Her job is to talk to the clients on the phone and give them advice on how they spend and invest their money. She also described the journey she took to make it to Merrill Lynch. She stressed the importance of internships during college and discussed her own internship experience with Merrill Lynch during her undergraduate years.
Other employees and financial advisors addressed the Leaders and discussed different careers within the company. Among those presenters were two men who talked about a project called, "New York Says Thank You." Many Merrill Lynch employees take part in this program as a way to help out communities in need throughout the United States. Each year a different community that was devastated by disaster is chosen as the location, and volunteer firefighters from across the country, as well as Merrill Lynch employees, go to that community and try to make a positive change.
After the presentations, the Jeter's Leaders discussed their program and their favorite aspects of the program. When the Leaders were finished, they took a tour of the floor and offices where all the work takes place.
The event was a great experience for all involved. The Leaders were able to learn a lot listening to the many speakers. The Leaders felt very inspired to continue to work hard after hearing from very successful professionals in one of the world's leading financial management and advisory companies.
Jeter's Leaders celebrate at Annual Banquet

June 2012
A joyful event took place on June 29, 2012, at the Prospect Park Picnic House in Brooklyn, N.Y., when the Jeter's Leaders and their families came together to welcome the new inductees, celebrate accomplishments of current Leaders and bid farewell to the graduating seniors. Each year the banquet serves as an end-of-the-year celebration. This event was hosted by two current Jeter's Leaders, Karina and Aaron.
The event began with all the Leaders receiving a certificate of completion in CPR and First-Aid training, which took place on May 12 as a way to get to know the new inductees and promote the importance of safety. As the ceremony continued, several Leaders gave speeches spoke to the audience about the activities they took part in throughout the program year. Later, an awards ceremony took place where the Leaders were rewarded for attendance, promoting social change and community service, being positive role models, individual dedication to the program and its values, and for excelling in academics.
The awards ceremony was one of the most touching parts of the banquet, as many of the parents were able to share joy and pride with their children for all their hard work throughout the year. The awards weren't just for the current Leaders; the new inductees also received their highly anticipated Jeter's Leaders jerseys, T-shirts, a letter from Turn 2's president Sharlee Jeter and Derek's autobiography, The Life You Imagine. The new executive board for the upcoming year was also announced after the awards ceremony.
The banquet was a great way to celebrate the accomplishments of the graduating seniors. They received gifts, certificates and their earned $3,000 stipend from the Turn 2 Foundation for completing the four-year program. They also received personal messages from current Leaders wishing them good luck in college. The night ended with the DJ playing music while Leaders, old and new, danced and chatted.
Jeter's Leaders meet YCLA leaders

May 2012
The Young Civic Leadership Academy (YCLA) is a program that empowers low-income and minority youth as community leaders to influence positive changes in their lives and communities through active and responsible participation in local, city and state government. On their way to their annual trip to Albany, N.Y., to meet with government officials, the young leaders of the YCLA stopped by New York City to meet the New York Jeter's Leaders. They were able to talk about their goals and aspirations and about the similarity of their programs in wanting to influence positive change in their communities.
Throughout the day, the Jeter's Leaders and leaders from YCLA exchanged ideas on the future, leadership, issues affecting teens today and views on life. Both groups also got to know each other better by sharing life experiences and taking part in teambuilding activities. Both the Jeter's Leaders and YCLA leaders learned different things from each other. Both agreed that connecting with a group that comes from a totally different surrounding than their own is a good thing for teenagers to experience.
Both leadership programs walked away from the meeting with a better understanding of the opposite group and a different way of looking at being a leader and how to change different communities. Many of the leaders from the program said they hoped to stay in touch.
Jeter's Leaders meet Goldman Sachs

May 2012
On May 19, 2012, the New York Jeter's Leaders participated in Goldman Sachs Community Team Works Project at Yankee Stadium. The event allowed a group of Goldman Sachs employees to spend a day volunteering and mentoring the New York Jeter's Leaders. Community Team Works is Goldman Sachs signature volunteer program that was started over 15 years ago.
The Leaders and Goldman Sachs employees met outside the stadium a few hours before the first pitch. They enjoyed breakfast together and then the Leaders heard a very informative presentation by a wealth strategist about financial literacy for young adults. The information was good to hear for the Leaders, especially the upper classmen who will be heading off to college soon and have to start thinking about dealing with student loans and credit-card offers.
After that presentation and a brief Q&A, the Leaders gave a brief presentation about the Jeter's Leaders program. They discussed the reasons they joined the program, what they gained most from the program and also discussed their future aspirations and goals.
After the presentation it was time to relax and watch the baseball game. During the game the Leaders and Goldman Sachs employees had the opportunity to get to know each other better. It was a great time for the Leaders to pick the brains of very successful people in the financial field.
The event was a great success as the Goldman Sachs employees were able to offer much advice to the Leaders and mentor them on ways to achieve your goals while enjoying a fun baseball game.
Jeter's Leaders receive CPR and First-Aid training

May 2012
On May 12, 2012, the New York Jeter's Leaders took part in a CPR and First-Aid training certification course administered by First Response Advantage, Inc.
The Leaders learned how to perform CPR on adults, children and infants from an instructor from the American Heart Association and some of her colleagues. The Leaders also learned how to put on a protective mask and ensure that they take necessary precautions when entering an area of a person in danger. As the group moved further into the day, they learned how to perform the Heimlich maneuver. For this part of the session there were no dummies, the Leaders had to work with each other to practice. This gave each Leader a sense of trust because they had to make sure their partner didn't fall.
The last part of the training was the First-Aid component. The Leaders watched videos with simulated situations which taught them how to react in times of danger when someone is in trouble, and what the proper steps to take are until the arrival of a medical professional. The video covered different scenarios that can happen at work, home or anywhere.
Thanks to this event, all of the Leaders became CPR and First-Aid certified. All Leaders involved agreed that it was a very informative day and gained a very important tool in life.
Kalamazoo College presentation

April 2012
On Saturday, April 28, 2012, the New York Jeter's Leaders invited Katie Williams, an admissions counselor from Kalamazoo College, to speak about the many educational opportunities Kalamazoo College has to offer. Ms. Williams' visit was a follow-up to the visit the New York Leaders made at Kalamazoo in April 2011.
Ms. Williams brought with her many informative brochures and booklets that she distributed to the Leaders. She went through the brochures and presented an information session about what the school offers its students and the different majors and minors available. With more than 50 majors and 60 minors, this school appealed to many of the diverse interests of the Leaders.
After the information session, the Leaders were able to ask any questions they had about the school regarding admissions, tuition, financial aid, campus life and undergraduate courses and programs. After the Q&A, Leaders who knew little about the college certainly left informed.
"The Kalamazoo College presentation was very informative and insightful. It allowed me to further learn what the school has to offer, "said Tyreece, New York Jeter's Leader since 2009.
Overall, the Kalamazoo College presentation was very helpful for everyone involved, and definitely a school many of the Leaders will now consider when applying to colleges in their senior year.
Spring Into College Tour
April 2012
The New York Jeter's Leaders traveled down south to explore colleges and universities in Georgia on their annual Spring Into College Tour from April 9-12, 2012. Stops included Clark Atlanta University, Georgia State University, Morehouse College, The Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory University and Spelman College. During each visit, the Leaders were able to tour and explore the campuses and speak to current students about their college experience. Tours were also given by New York Jeter's Leaders Alumni. Hosting college tours is always a great way for the Alumni to stay involved in the program.
Before heading back to New York, the Leaders were able to take a special trip and visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site in Northeast Atlanta. The visit to the site allowed the Leaders to learn more about and honor one of the most important men and times of American history.
It was a wonderful ending to a very special and educational trip for all the New York Leaders. They took advantage of the trip by learning about some great colleges and exploring important historical locations in Atlanta.
The man behind the IVY Key
Contributions from Seeta, New York Jeter's Leaders member since 2008
March 2012
On March 24, the New York Jeter's Leaders welcomed guest speaker Mr. Jae Gardner, the founder of the IVY Key SAT Test Prep Program. Mr. Gardner's presentation was unlike any other the Leaders have seen. Mr. Gardner's message was not only about the creation of IVY Key, but about his goals and the struggles he faced throughout his life.
Mr. Gardner has a very outspoken personality, and the Leaders were very inspired by him. He went to Harvard at the age of 16 and graduated from the school with honors. Early on, Mr. Gardner started off by tutoring a group of students for free. It was the joy of seeing the kids succeed that made him happy. He knew from that moment that tutoring is what he wanted to do and even today, he continues to see his students' minds grow. His business picked up and now he is teaching in more than 200 different schools and reaching 1,000 students a week.
Mr. Gardner had many words of wisdom that he shared with the Leaders. One of the most important things that he stressed was based on his own experience -- failure will happen. In life, one is bound to fail at some point. Failure is inevitable, face it were all human. However, one must know how to handle it. A person needs to rise above failure and ask them self, "How can I improve the next time?" Rising above failure only makes a person a better leader because they will have overcome those roadblocks they were faced with.
Another piece of advice was that everyone struggles every now and then, so it is important that one helps their neighbor. Mr. Gardner stated, "Life means nothing if you don't help the person next to you," which was a very influential statement that all the Leaders found encouraging. One can interpret this to mean that it is very important to help another person because in the long run, it will only benefit you.
As the presentation was coming to an end, Mr. Gardner wanted the Leaders to recognize that everyone will doubt you out at some point, but make sure no one ever counts themselves out.
"By the end of the day when you are succeeding in life everyone, will be right there waiting for you to fail," he said. "You have to keep your head up and make sure that your best is good enough."
Overall, Mr. Gardner's presentation was inspirational, motivating and intriguing. After the meeting, many of the male Leaders took a strong appreciation of the conversation and now look to Mr. Gardner as a mentor and role model.
College is for everybody

The United Negro College Fund/Sharlee Jeter Scholarship is a partnership between the Turn 2 Foundation and the United Negro College Fund. This scholarship provides multiple Jeter's Leaders graduates with $7,500 per year for four years to assist with the cost of attending a Historically Black College or University (HBCU). To inform the Leaders of this scholarship and the other offerings of the organization, UNCF Area Development Director Leslie Andrews hosted an open discussion on March 3, 2012.
Leslie Andrews made a special visit to New York from Detroit to inform the Leaders about everything UNCF has to offer. Ms. Andrews touched on many different topics, which ranged from admission requirements, college life and making the most of yourself in college and in a professional career. She also talked about enrollment and networking capabilities after graduation.
The conversation started with Ms. Andrews speaking to the impact UNCF has and is making in various areas through scholarships, internships and networking events. Of the many scholarships she oversees, Ms. Andrews stressed the Leaders to learn more about the UNCF/Sharlee Jeter Scholarship offered only to students who have graduated the Jeter's Leaders program and another scholarship called the UNCF/Gates Millennium Scholars Program. This Gates scholarship is one of the most competitive of its kind in the country for minority students. This scholarship program is for students that are challenging themselves academically and personally no matter the struggles they live with on a daily basis.
As she spoke more with the Leaders, Ms. Andrews explained her education background and her professional experience. Ms. Andrews enlightens many high school students throughout the country about the multiple ways they could afford higher education, that is no longer a privilege, but more so the new standard in today's economy. As she related it to her middle and high school experience where she endured difficulty staying focused, she was able to stay focused on creating goals for herself. A stern talk from her mother was also able to make her college years at Spelman College the most productive ever.
Many of the Leaders were intrigued by Ms. Andrews' open-minded personality. She helped prove that students were able to make it through anything as long as they had a specific goal to achieve. The Leaders appreciated the meeting with Leslie Andrews and wish to see her again to pick her mind about her future plans in her role as a student advocate and product of HBCU schools.
Preparing for a disaster
Contributions from Amy, New York Jeter's Leaders member since 2009
February 2012
The New York Jeter's Leaders took part in a disaster preparedness presentation hosted by Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health on Feb. 24. The speakers, Meagan Berliner and Karen Levin, engaged the Leaders in a lively and active discussion about the National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) 5 Steps of Personal Preparedness. NCDP was established following the domestic attacks of 2001, in response to the urgent need for a knowledge-based approach to disaster preparedness. The Leaders were informed and taught what to expect if there was a natural disaster, how to compose a plan in case of such emergencies and how important it is to have such a plan in place. These plans were ultimately made of five different actions.
The first step is to make sure that one is aware of their surroundings and knowing the risks at all times no matter where a person is. The second is to make sure to secure enough food and water. In an emergency situation refrigeration will not be available. Therefore, it was advised to store canned food and fruits. "Just make sure you remember the can opener though."
Most of the Leaders were quite surprised when they were told that for every person and pet in their household they should store about 3 gallons of drinking water, in addition to water needed for other things, like cooking and cleaning. As well as food and water, the Leaders also learned that they should have other necessities in their emergency kits such as first aid kits, spare cash, identification documents and a filled out reference card with phone numbers on it.
Before the speakers departure the group was reminded to take initiative and spread the information that they gained from the presentations to their own communities. These communities are any group of people that the Leaders engage with, they can be as vast as school and church, and as narrow as just friends and family. The Leaders were given a certificate upon the completion of the presentation, as a token of recognition for their newly found knowledge.
Jeter's Leaders visit Siena College

February 2012
Each winter break the New York Jeter's Leaders program hosts a local college tour. This year, the group visited Siena College on a two-day trip from Febr. 22-23, 2012. Siena College is an independent Roman Catholic liberal arts college in Loudonville, N.Y.
Siena is a four-year co-educational college founded on the Franciscan tradition, by the Franciscan Friars in 1937. Throughout the trip many great hosts enlightened the group on what makes Siena different and unique from other schools. During the visit, the Leaders had the opportunity to meet and hear from representatives of various departments of the school such as Joseph Fitzgerald, assistant to the vice president of Academic Affairs; Tony Rivera, assistant director of Admissions; and Kevin Mullen, president of Siena College, among many other prevalent members of the Siena College staff.
Many interesting facts were provided to the Leaders about the school. The group learned that the most popular majors offered at Siena College include marketing business management, accounting, psychology, finance, and English and literature. They also learned about the cost of education, the athletics offered and the diversity on the campus. Aside from learning about the many offerings of the school, all the Leaders had the opportunity to have a tour of the campus. The Leaders felt welcomed and were impressed with the student life. It had a positive energy and many people gave the group a substantial amount of information about their experiences at Siena. The school was great for students interested in a small, well-rounded community of higher education.
One of the group's favorite parts of the visit was the panel discussion where Siena students spoke about their experiences of student life on campus and the different programs and majors they participate in. Each panelist said that Siena was the best choice they ever made. As a member of the group, I am glad the Leaders were able to visit this school due to the fact that it is committed to fulfilling their mission of making sure students get the best opportunities and education possible. Everyone enjoyed the experience, and many members are interested in applying to Siena school in the near future.
Express yourself

February 2012
On Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012, the New York Jeter's Leaders participated in a presentation directed by Urban Word, an organization based in New York City dedicated to helping students find mediums to express themselves in a wide variety of public speaking formats and venues. Urban Word mentor Mahogany Browne, who presented to the Leaders last year, returned to follow up her work and further improve their public speaking and increase critical thinking skills. She led them in finding topics that were especially relevant to their lives and making them publicly state these facts for their fellow Jeter's Leaders to gain a better understanding about each other on a deeper level.
The Leaders had a number of events during the program year which established their present and future interests. They were given a number of examples from both their peers and Ms. Browne; a number of which were actual aspects from the Jeter's Leaders mission dedicated to civic and community service. Some Leaders chose topics that were more attributed to their personal adversities and found things they had in common with other Leaders. These verbal and non-verbal poetry expressions helped the group come together and understand what their values should be for the rest of the year.
The group was also able to obtain more information about spoken-word contests and opportunities to express themselves locally and globally; this with the added experience of performing in front of larger audience and communities to share their message with was very beneficial to all the Leaders. These opportunities made the Leaders feel encouraged to involve themselves in more social change activities. Ms. Browne made it clear that these open-microphone events allowed entire communities to share in the "urban word" vision and perspectives given by many different types of people.
At the end of the meeting, everyone was asked to present something that had represented the small groups of 4-5 Leaders. The Leaders, after being given a demonstration of how to conduct their presentations, all spoke of topics that they personally resonated with. They also enjoyed a poetry show from Mahogany, who presented one of her published compositions. This personal insight inspired some of the Leaders to continue their endeavors to become better creative writers and public speakers to this date.
The Leaders left the discussion with a greater understanding of their issues and how they would like the world to understand and perceive those issues, something that they are still using today, no matter where their work with the Turn 2 Foundation takes them.
Giving back to the community during the holiday season
Contributions from Kanard, New York Jeter' s Leaders member since 2010
December 2011
The Jeter's Leaders pride themselves in their ability to promote social change throughout different communities and inspire people to believe that everybody has the ability to make a difference. The Concourse House, a shelter for women and children
in the Bronx, allowed the Leaders to spread joy to the children that live there. The Leaders went to the house to spread happiness and joy to the children and also
to give them holiday presents.
The first task was to procure the list of what each child wanted for the holidays. Once the Leaders received
The day finally came to visit the Concourse House to give the presents to the children. Everyone knew that it was going to be a great day! As the children were called up to the stage to get their gifts, they simply couldn't control their excitement! The Leaders felt proud to see how happy they made the children feel. They also gave each child a copy of Derek Jeter's children's book called, You're A Star. All the families thanked the group and were very thankful for the gifts. Throughout the time at the house, the Leaders interacted with the various families and gained insight as to why they were at the shelter, which added a more meaningful purpose to the project.
The Leaders felt they succeeded in giving these children an enjoyable time and felt pride in the social impact they had during the season of giving. Their
duty as Jeter's Leaders is to inspire younger children, but this activity also inspired the group to push themselves to be better and do more for others
around them. As a result, many of the Leaders have continued to work with the Concourse House on a volunteer basis.
Jeter's Leaders Spotlight
The Jeter's Leaders Program consists of a select group of high school students that are committed to leading and promoting healthy lifestyles, as well as achieving academically and improving their communities. Most importantly, the youth learn to develop their leadership skills and how to act as role models to their peers and younger students. Over the past year, two outstanding New York Jeter's Leaders have displayed exceptional and consistent leadership qualities. Each has exhibited a positive attitude under adversity, morality when making decisions, and stood up to challenges when needed. Their outstanding leadership qualities have also been recognized by their peers and consequently, they have all been named to leadership positions within the New York Jeter's Leaders Program. The Turn 2 Foundation is proud to recognize the following Jeter's Leaders, Karina and Tyreece, and thank them for their hard work and dedication as positive youth leaders.
Karina, Class of 2013
Karina, a junior at Mount Saint Ursula High School in Bronx, N.Y., has been a member of the New York Jeter's Leaders program since 2009. Since graduating from Sacred Heart Middle School in 2009, Karina has regularly returned to the school to speak to current students about living a healthy lifestyle and achieving academically. Her message is clearly heard and has truly inspired more youth to continue their goals. Karina joined the program to improve her community and develop as a leader. Serving as the 2011-2012 New York Jeter's Leaders co-president, Karina continues to lead her fellow Leaders, as well as the youth in her community.
Tyreece, Class of 2013
Cardinal Hayes High School junior Tyreece joined the New York Jeter's Leaders in 2009. Since his induction, Tyreece has consistently been chosen to serve as a spokesperson for the program due to his strong sense of living a healthy lifestyle and passion for community service and social change. In 2010, Tyreece served as a co-host for Movado's Night of Discovery event and later that year, performed as the Master of Ceremonies at the Jeter's Leaders Annual Banquet. Most recently Tyreece served as the only youth representative on the Association of Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Providers (ASAP) of NYC Adolescent Youth Conference to speak about the Jeter's Leaders Program and his experience in combating drug and substance abuse among teens and younger students. Tyreece, who shares the co-president title with Karina, views the position as a great opportunity to step up and lead his peers.
Jeter's Leaders tour four Boston-area colleges
September 2011
The New York Jeter's Leaders visited four universities in the Boston area during a trip to Massachusetts. Members of the Jeter's Leaders Alumni, who attend the universities, even lent a helping hand to lead most of the college tours.
The Leaders headed out early in the morning on Sept. 28, 2011, and arrived at Boston College before noon. The Leaders were given a tour of the beautiful campus by current undergraduate and New York Jeter's Leaders Alum Jean Vargas. After making their way across campus and seeing the amazing buildings, the group gathered in a lecture hall to attend an information session hosted by the director of admissions. The session allowed them to gain valuable knowledge for prospective students, as well as ask the Director questions about the admissions process.
Then Leaders headed off to Boston University, where they enjoyed lunch at the George Sherman Student Union Dinning Center and were impressed with the wide variety of available cuisines. Lunch was followed by a tour of the student dorms and academic halls. One of the more resounding memories was the strong and prideful history of Boston University's alumni list; one of which includes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The next day, the Leaders set off to visit two more universities. The first, Northeastern University, is a college that many Jeter's Leaders either attend or have visited for three weeks during the summer through the Summer Discovery program. Upon arrival, the group met with another New York Jeter's Leader Alum Emani McKnight who gave them a tour of the campus. After the tour they attended an information session and participated in a Q&A discussion with the Program Director of Northeastern University's Torch Scholars Program. The Torch Scholars Program provides opportunities to students who have overcome exponential odds and who demonstrate the potential to excel academically. The session motivated the Leaders and sparked their interest in the program, especially since two former Jeter's Leaders were accepted into the program; Simone Vareikaite and tour guide for the day, Emani.
The two-day trip concluded with a visit to Wheaton College, a private liberal arts college in Norton, Mass. The students were treated to a tour of the entire campus by Aaron Sultan, a 2010 Jeter's Leaders graduate. Aaron showed the Leaders the benefits of Wheaton and attending a smaller school. He gave a thorough tour and showed complete passion for his university!
After a busy two days, the Leaders headed back to New York and enthusiastically discussed the possibility of attending one of the New England schools. The tour was a great experience for all involved!
Jeter's Leaders meet U.S. Marshals
Contributions from David Squires, Jeter's Leaders member since 2009
September 2011
On Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011, the New York Jeter's Leaders met three members of the United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force. Commander Lenny DePaul, Detective Roxanne Lopez and Senior Inspector Mike Romani each visited the Leaders and spoke to them about their careers and experiences as U.S. Marshals. The Fugitive Task Force is assigned with tracking some of the most dangerous fugitives in the country. To add, they each also star in the reality television show, "Manhunters", which follows them along as they track down these elusive and dangerous criminals.
Commander Lenny DePaul started by introducing himself and the other marshals. He also briefly spoke about his path to Commander of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. After enlisting with the U.S Navy at age 17, he spent five years with the U.S. Secret Service, and then joined the U.S. Marshals in 1989. Currently, he is in charge of leading his team after violent fugitives and bringing them to justice. Many times these manhunts have led them all across the country and even to far parts of Puerto Rico.
After Commander DePaul spoke to the group, Senior Inspector Mike Romani discussed his role as Senior Inspector of the U.S. Marshals Sex Offender Investigations Branch. Inspector Romani cautioned the Leaders on the possible dangers of online predators and how they use technology to lure unsuspecting victims. Inspector Romani gave the Leaders some informative advice and helpful tips on how they could navigate social media websites in the safest manner possible.
Finally, Detective Roxanne Lopez talked to the Leaders about her career with the U.S. Marshals and how she became interested in law enforcement. Detective Lopez grew up in a tough neighborhood and always wanted to work in a field that would help make her community safer. She encouraged the Leaders to stay in school, and stay physically active if they would like to pursue a career in law enforcement.
The day ended by the Leaders asking the marshals some highly anticipated questions about their careers. Commander DePaul explained that he enjoys the fact that his career has allowed him to travel to various parts of the country, but also admits how dangerous and time consuming this line of work is. One of the Leaders asked, "How does this job affect your everyday life?" Commander DePaul said, "The job is hard, you're going to travel, and not going to see your family a lot, but it is all for a good cause. Taking someone down gives you the feeling that you did something right."
The Leaders all enjoyed the presentation and look forward to hearing more about their task force progress in the future.
Since its launch in 1996, the Turn 2 Foundation has awarded more than $23 million to create and support signature programs that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and "Turn 2" healthy lifestyles. Learn more »

George Washington (1732-1799) selected Springfield as the site for an arms and ammunition manufactory, and an arsenal was established in 1778. Disgruntled farmers led by Daniel Shays (c.1747-1826) in an armed uprising against the state government unsuccessfully attacked the arsenal in 1787. In 1794 the arsenal became the first United States Armory. The Springfield Armory was in operation until 1968 and produced the Springfield Rifle which was used in the Civil War. Many important technological advances in the design and production of firearms happened at the Springfield Armory in its almost 200 year history.

Skip to comments.Slushie Machine Wonders What It Ever Did To Naked Woman Attacking It At Gas Station
Posted on 10/09/2013 8:27:02 PM PDT by Slings and Arrows
Youre a slushie machine. You sit at home at the convenience store of the gas station, churning out sweet frozen delight and depositing it in customers cups. Then along comes an unclothed someone who wants to beat you up and for what? What did you ever do to deserve such a beat down?
The aggrieved slushie machine in this instance was minding its own chilly business at a Shell station in Massachusetts when police say a woman took off all her clothing in a violent attack on the machine.
WWLP.coms 22News reports that cops had to use a taser and pepper to subdue the 26-year-old suspect while her two children were in the car in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
State Troopers called in police to help them out when they found the woman causing damage to the machine inside the store. According to authorities, she resisted their efforts and took off all her clothes while continuing to fight, kick and yell until she was placed under arrest.
As for any reason why a slushie machine would become the victim of such an outburst, a police representative says her behavior could indicate PCP use, because people under its effects can feel hot and agitated. And slushies are very cold, so maybe that makes sense?
Poor slushie machine. Keep churning, little guy.
[Thanks to Gefn for the link!]
Slushie machine was cheating on her. He was seen hanging out with the soft-serve ice cream dispenser.
Took off her clothes to throw her tantrum? Definitely a liberal Obama supporter.
I've also heard whispers that it was seeing the soda machine...
It was brain freeze! Drinking her Slushie to fast gave her brain freeze rendering her mentally unstable, so it is understandable as to why she attacked the source of her pain. Stop the brain freeze, outlaw Slushies now!
We need sensible slushie machine control.
A Fauxcahontas Voter.
We need sensible slushie machine control.
Oh, sensible you say, OK I'll take a liberals sensible take on that. Slushie machines are causing uncontrolled brain freeze all across the nation, they must be banned now for the good of the children. Ban assault slushies now!
> It was brain freeze! Drinking her Slushie to fast gave her brain freeze rendering her mentally unstable, so it is understandable as to why she attacked the source of her pain. Stop the brain freeze, outlaw Slushies now!
Impossible if it was a liberal
I know you are somehow involved. Just don't do it again in Arizona......
"SLUSHIE machine"!!! Oh. I thought it was Sluty Machine. I HATE competition.
Need to see a photo to determine guilt.
bath salts I'm assuming...poor children....
Call mayor Bloomberg!
If we had tighter gun control and 0bamacare tragedies like this would be avoided.
Naked woman, 26, attacks slushie machine while her two children, AGES 11 AND 8 wait in the car.
She's made some good choices in her life, this one...
I don't know. I'd need to see a picture of the car...
Well, do some math, if she's 26 And has an 11 year old, she got started early in life...................
I'll bet that the slushie machine had a high capacity dispenser nozzle.

We have not been able to contact the original author of EventGhost (the person that owns those domains) to redirect them to the new web server. I set in motion when we first moved a redirection from the old server to the new server. I also put in markers so that search engines would see this change and update any pointers they have. We still have the .net domain for the production site. and the .rocks for the test site. For the past few months you have been getting redirected to the .net site if you used one of the 3 domains mentioned above. I just wanted to tell everyone so they can make any changes needed.

Do you know how social media is helping your business? Want to find out how Twitter, Facebook and other sites are impacting your brand awareness?
The good news is social media has finally made it to the grand stage of "accountability." A place where there are lots of people who want to measure it. The bad news is there isn't a single clear-cut answer.
However, with a few simple steps, you can build a measurement strategy that accomplishes your goals.
Defining Terms
To start, let's agree that brand awareness is a measure of how recognizable your brand is to your target audience. For those looking to get ahead of the curve on social media measurement, the first step is to align your social media metrics with metrics your company is already comfortable with.

NEW YORK (AP) — AOL Inc. posted a third-quarter profit on Tuesday, reversing a loss a year earlier, and its advertising revenue grew for the sixth straight quarter.
Results beat Wall Street's expectations and AOL's shares rose 4 percent just before the opening bell.
The Internet company earned $20.8 million, or 22 cents per share, in the July-September period. Last year, it posted a loss of $2.6 million, or 2 cents per share, in the same period.
Revenue was $531.7 million, the same as a year ago. Advertising revenue grew 7 percent to $340 million, but the company's dial-up Internet business continued to decline.
Analysts, on average, were expecting earnings of 18 cents per share on revenue of $519.7 million, according to a poll by FactSet.
It was the best quarterly revenue growth in seven years, and results topped company expectations, said CEO Tim Armstrong.
A Web pioneer back in the 1990s, AOL has been shedding dial-up subscribers for years. Its business now relies on advertising, and it has tried to make its websites more appealing to advertisers by adding popular content and drawing more visitors. To do so, it bought The Huffington Post news website in 2011 and technology blog TechCrunch a year earlier.
New York-based AOL's stock added $1.42 to $37.23 in electronic trading before the market open.

Thanks to all who submitted, and to those who voted, in the caption contest. We stepped into this hesitantly, thinking caption contests are sort of like dining room conversation – don't bring up politics or religion. But, the photo was just begging for a caption contest so we proceeded onward.
Some of the entries that we can share include:
Don't worry! If you hit a bad one, take a Billigan! — Rich Killoran
Barack, I swear I am telling the truth, my ball was this far inside of those white OB stakes! — Robert Branlund
Bill: Call me crazy, but i really don't think you get bonus points for hitting that squirrel…. — Holden Harrison
Bill: "Alright Barry, you gotta keep this left of the recession bunker, go over the fiscal cliff, and down the forgiving subsidy straightaway. Oh, and you only have 4 more shots to do it." — Danny Schnacky
And the caption garnering the most "Likes" and winning a Sun Mountain ThermalFlex Jacket is:
Bill: You know Obama you should really be back at the white house trying to figure out this economic crisis…Obama: You know i don't have a clue what i'm doing Bill — Cam Rice.
Cam, message us so we can get your size, color choice and shipping information.
Thanks for participating. Next caption contest we will heed the dinner time rules!

A young photographer�s new exhibit highlighting Norwich�s industrial past sparked a dialogue on Friday about efforts to clean up and repurpose properties that have been �lost� to contamination.
The photos in �Arrested Development: Norwich Brownfields� by Therese Carlos, a student at Three Rivers Community College, showcase some of Norwich�s abandoned and crumbling mill and former industrial sites that, advocates say, could be redeveloped and become assets to the city, and generate more tax revenue.
There are approximately 130 confirmed or probable brownfields in Norwich, according to a report issued to the city last year.
The exhibit, sponsored by Otis Library, presents photographs and information about 10 sites scattered throughout the city. They include the Capehart Mill, Chestnut Street Mills and Shipping Street, which are augmented by maps produced by Norwich Public Utilities.
�The purpose of the show is to create awareness, create concern and enhance our love for the city,� exhibit organizer and Norwich resident Elanah Sherman told the audience of about 30 who came to the exhibit�s opening Friday night at the Otis Library.
�These old neglected sites are black holes in the heart of the city,� Norwich Redevelopment Agency President Marjorie Blizard said. �In the middle of our commercial areas, they drag down neighborhoods. They don�t pay much in taxes, don�t contribute to the vitality of neighborhoods and are a magnet for problems.�
William Warzecha, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection�s supervising environmental analyst for the Eastern District, said efforts are proceeding to ease some of the barriers to redevelopment of these sites.
�These types of properties can be daunting to rehabilitate and renovate,� Warzecha said. Developers often don�t want to get involved in owning property so contaminated that cleanup could cost millions of dollars, he said.
But changes to state law that give developers and owners some protections against liability could provide a jump-start to rehabilitation, he said.
The DEEP also plans to hire a brownfields coordinator to coordinate with the Department of Economic and Community Development and the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
�Basically, that�s where the money is,� he said. This past year, the EPA had $32 million available for brownfield assessment and cleanup, Warzecha said. �We got about 15 to 20 percent of that last year.�
The report issued to the City Council identified three of the city�s 133 brownfields as the highest priorities for remediation: the Chestnut Street Mills, the south side of Ponemah Mills and the Shipping Street area. According to the report, fully restoring and developing all three sites could add a combined $728,275 in tax revenue to the city and bring 1,261 new jobs.
�Arrested Development: Norwich Brownfields� will be exhibited at Otis Library through Dec. 30.

A team of IUCN colleagues participated in the 7th International Biofuels Conference organized by IUCN member, Winrock International India, which took place in New Delhi on the 11th and 12th February, 2010.
The conference brought together experts from a range of sectors including government, private sector, academia and NGOs to discuss biofuel-related issues, policies and potential solutions. The discussions were also influenced by the declaration of the Biofuels Policy for India.
IUCN President, Dr. Ashok Khosla, gave the inaugural address. He highlighted the need to consider biofuels policy, not in isolation, but in the context of population growth, urbanization, consumption patterns and new developments in technology. He expressed his concern regarding the increasing divide between the rich and the poor in relation to their access to affordable and sustainable energy. In addition, he cautioned that biofuels represent only one of several options, including energy conservation, increasing energy efficiency, conversion management, demand-side management and other renewable sources of energy. The use of biomass is complex and should be carefully considered – land and water are essential for food security, not just for the current inhabitants of this earth, but also for future generations who have an equal right to benefit from the resources.
The risks and opportunities of international bioenergy policies were discussed by Jeffrey McNeely, Senior Science Advisor to IUCN. He underlined the need to look at biofuels as part of a larger system. By understanding different objectives, production systems can also be designed to maximize benefits, from small-holder model for local use, small-holder production for commercial processing or large-scale commercial production. He also highlighted the policy recommendations of the International Risk Governance Council project on bioenergy which was chaired by McNeely. In particular, he cautioned that one policy can rarely meet multiple objectives.
IUCN also coordinated a well-received session on 'Sustainability Issues'. Chaired by Dr. Ashok Khosla, IUCN provided speakers from headquarters and regional offices, as well as a regional partner from South Africa and IUCN member Winrock Internationl India.
Jeff McNeely discussed how the various sustainability issues concerning biofuels are linked, including energy security, food security, climate change, and rural development. He also highlighted how we are often only able to determine retroactively whether a system is sustainable, and that a precautionary approach should be taken, learning from earlier relevant lessons. Jeff also highlighted the work of the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels, which has recently released a "Version 1.0" of 12 sustainability principles which are now being tested for implementation. Given the moving target of biofuels, policies need also to be flexible rather than locking society in to inefficient options.
IUCN's Energy Network Coordinator, Nadine McCormick introduced a new sustainability issue of "indirect land use change" (iLUC) to the audience and detailed how the risk can be reduced by taking a landscape approach i.e. through engaging local stakeholders on prioritization of use of lands.
Ganesh Pangare, Coordinator, Regional Water and Wetlands Programme, ELG 1, Asia presented on the hidden use of water for biofuel production, including comparisons on the water consumption of sugarcane in India. However, he emphasized more broadly on the need for changing lifestyles and attitudes for conservation of water resources and for effective water management.
Graham von Maltitz from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in South Africa presented on managing the risk of invasive species posed by biofuel production. Graham was involved in an IUCN led project to develop guidelines on biofuels and invasives, which were launched during the conference. The guidelines are intended to inform policies and practices of biofuel producers and decision makers and ultimately provide guidance to importing companies and countries on prevention and management practices.
Overall, the conference highlighted on-going biofuel-related activities in India and other countries. Many IUCN members are present in India and it is hoped that IUCN can help to build on their work and share valuable experiences more widely in the region and help inform Indian biofuel policy.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Four policemen were shot dead in Libya's troubled eastern city of Benghazi on Sunday when gunmen fired rocket-propelled grenades on a security compound there, according to the Interior Ministry.
Police spokesman Ezzedine al-Fazani said that the attack was linked to the recent detention of a man allegedly involved in last month's assassination of the head of one of the city's security agencies, National Security chief Col. Farag el-Dersi.
The unknown assailants attacked the security compound, in an apparent attempt to break into a nearby detention center where the suspect in el-Dersi's killing is being held.
In Benghazi, where the revolt that unseated longtime ruler Moammar Gadhafi began last year, security has sharply deteriorated over the past year. An attack in September on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi killed U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Security in the country's south is also of concern.
Libya's parliament on Sunday voted to close the country's borders with Sudan, Niger and Chad, declaring the south a restricted military area.
The decision affects cities such as Kufra and Sabha, which have been the scene of armed clashes this year that have left more than 100 dead. The fighting has been mainly between the African tribe of Tabu and their rivals, the Arab tribe of Zwia.
General National Congress spokesman Omar Humidan says the parliament voted to seal Libya's southern borders with its African neighbors to stem the flow of illegal immigration and population changes.
The African Tabu, the original inhabitants of south Libya, were heavily suppressed under the Gadhafi regime. They accuse the new government of continued discrimination.
The GNC did not specify how long border crossings would be sealed or how Libya's military plans to secure the long and porous border. The military does not have a strong presence along the southern border and is struggling to rebuild itself — relying heavily on former rebels as part of its force — after last year's civil war that ousted Gadhafi.
A military official, who wished to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said the government's main concern is not the influx of people, but the illegal flow of weapons.
A flood of weapons, including explosive warheads and small arms ammunition, have been smuggled from Libya to Egypt since the outbreak of revolutions in both countries last year. The weapons have fallen into the hands of Islamist militants in the Sinai Peninsula, or pass through smuggling tunnels to the Palestinian Gaza Strip.
The U.S. State Department said last week that it provided funding to U.S. Customs and Border Protection to conduct training last week in McAllen, Texas for 13 officials from the Libyan Ministry of Defense and the Customs Authority.
The State Department statement said the program specifically focuses on reducing the illicit transfers of weapons across borders. It is the third course undertaken by the State Department and Homeland Security with the Libyan government to improve border security.

Former Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi went from meatball to WOW after losing a whopping 42 pounds since giving birth to son Lorenzo Dominic LaValle with fiance Jonni LaValle last August. But she's become even more fit now, revealing an even toner body recently.
She's not the only Latina who's had a tremendous post-baby body turnaround. We're counting down Snooki and the other 14 Latina mamis who have shared their fitness and weight loss secrets to get those amazing post-pregnancy figures.
1. Post Baby Bodies: Snooki
The Chilean-born MTV star once proudly carried the "meatball" nickname but later revealed a slimmed down post-baby figure that made our jaws drop. The 4'9" star first revealed her 42-pound weight loss on the cover of Us Weekly, and nine months after giving birth to baby Lorenzo, the hilarious new mom posted another photo of herself in workout gear.
"Finally starting to come together after having a baby in there!" she wrote, alongside a photo she uploaded onto Instagram. Do we see abs? Yep.
Good for her!
2. Shakira Shares Secrets on her Post-Baby Body
The Colombiana has always had a rockin' body and continued to look great throughout her pregnancy. Bravely, the new mami stepped out just three weeks after giving birth to son Milan with boyfriend Gerard Piqué. What's her secret? She hasn't revealed it yet, but perhaps her World Baby Shower to help save children's lives for UNICEF is doing the community, and her body, some good.
3. Mariah Carey Shares Secrets to Post-Baby Body
Mariah Carey
Mariah shed a whopping 70 pounds after the birth of her twins with husband Nick Cannon, over half of which came from water weight that she gained during her difficult pregnancy. "In the beginning, when I first had the babies, I just had so much edema... water and swelling," she told Us Weekly, "Most pregnant women have that just in their feet."
Losing 40 pounds of water weight first, Mariah combined a Jenny Craig-certified diet and workout plan. She ate no more than 1,500 calories a day and worked out three times a week with water aerobics until she was finally ready to flaunt her new figure.
4. Salma Hayek Share Secrets on Her Post-Baby Body
Salma Hayek
The Mexican superstar was in no hurry to take the weight off, telling Oprah that she believes women should give themselves the same nine months to lose weight as it took to gain it.
After suffering from gestational diabetes, Salma told Oprah that she got her body back thanks to Diet Designs--a program founded in Los Angeles by nutritionist to the stars Carrie Wiatt. Her only regret? Not being able to lose the weight with breastfeeding: "Except for a couple of exceptions, the only reason people lose weight like that when they're breastfeeding--it's that they're not eating and they're breastfeeding and that's not good for the baby."
5. Mom Fitness: Camila Alves
Camila Alves
Camila Alves doesn't play around when it comes to giving her body the time it needs to heal. After giving birth to her daughter, Vida, Camila didn't hit the gym right away contrary to what most celebs do. Instead she exercised a process known to Brazilians as "quarentena."
On practicing "quarentena": "You kind of respect all the hard workyour body has just done and give it a break. For these 40 days, you really take it easy," she said to Us Magazine. "By that I mean no sex, light, healthy food, no trips to the gym. Then, after 40 days, you are good to go."
6. Mom Fitness: Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio bounced back from her first pregnancy with daughter Anja Louise in record time! The Victoria's Secret model gave birth to her son Noah last month.
On losing the baby weight in 2009: "Last year, because I had a baby and I had to lose pounds, I did a lot of cardio," she said to People. "This year is all about weights, squats and lunges."
7. Mom Fitness: Gisele
Gisele Bundchen
Gisele Bundchen may seem superhuman, but she looses weight by exercising just like the rest of us!
On staying in shape while pregnant with son Benjamin: "I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decidethey can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and Igained only 30 pounds," she said in an interview for Vogue.
8. Mom Fitness: Adrina Lima
Adriana Lima
Let's face it, most new moms hate on Adriana Lima and most supermodels that immediately bounce back into shape days after giving birth. Especially when she calls bouncing back into shape "easy." Her workout includes lots of cardio and is paired with a no-carb all-protein diet.
On going to the gym: "Often I [go] twice in one day! It can be anywhere from one hour to two hours."
9. Mom Fitness: Thalia
Thalia exercised patience when it came to losing her baby weight after daughter Sabrina Sakae.
How she lost weight: The "Ten Paciencia" singer used a detox diet, which included 60 percent of veggies, 40 percent protein, and zero carbs! She revealed to People.com that she "immediately felt lighter." We think her regimen should be called Thalia's South Beach diet!
10. Mom Fitness: Penelope Cruz
Penelope Cruz
Penelope Cruz gave birth to her first son Leo last January and worked on a diet and fitness plan soon afterwards.
How she lost the weight: "I love ballet and it's a little boring for me to go to the gym because I'm used to the dancing discipline — it's really hard but much more fun," reported Perez Hilton.
11. Mom Fitness: Roselyn Sanchez
Roselyn Sanchez
Roselyn Sanchez wasn't shy about admitting that she rocked Spanx after giving birth to her first daughter Sebella Rose. Her best workout just seven weeks after her baby was born? Breastfeeding.
On getting in shape: "It's hard, but the doctor finally said that I can start working out, so I'm excited to get back in shape."
12. Mom Fitness: Christina Milian
Christina Milian
Christina Milian gave birth to baby Violet in February 2010 and entered the new phase of her life as a single mom (after split from The Dream) with full force.
On being a mom: "Being a new mother definitely makes me feel so much sexier than ever before," she said exclusively to Latina. "There's a certain responsibility that I carry being a mom that makes me feel very confident and so blessed. Being a mom is the best thing that's ever happened to me."
13. Mom Fitness: Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera lost whopping 40 pounds only four months after giving birth to her son Max Bratman.
Her cravings: "Oh, my God, candy! I had a huge craving for candy toward the end of the pregnancy," she said to US Weekly. "From Starbursts to Skittles. I actually took a picture of myself with my big belly in a littlelingerie top, surrounded by bowls of the candy I like."
14. Mom Fitness: Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez may be in the best shape of her life now, but the Boricua star admitted that it took work to lose the baby weight after giving birth to twins Max and Emme.
On losing weight: "It did take a lot of work," Lopez confessed to Entertainment Tonight. "I thought it was gonna drop off easily because I had been in shape my whole life, but it didn't."
15. Mom Fitness: Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba was fiercely dedicated to staying in shape after giving birth to her second daughter Haven in August of last year.
How she did it: "I just made healthier choices," she said in an interview with Us Weekly. "I started working out and not going too crazy, but I did what was safe and what the doctor approved."

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) – Watching the British capture 22 gold medals and counting at the London Olympics has inspired Luke Donald.
It also should make him feel fortunate.
"The fact that you have one event every four years to really work hard, to see some of the guys who don't perform and to see some of the guys that perform and win gold, there's a lot of raw emotions there,'' Donald said. "A lot of it has really impressed me.''
The good news is Donald doesn't have to wait every four years to try to win a major. He gets four chances every year.
That hasn't made it any easier.
Donald goes into the PGA Championship as the No. 1 player in the world, the product of a tremendous short game, a lot of hard work and the consistency required to top the world ranking. But even while playing his best golf, in Olympic terms, he still hasn't even been on the podium yet.
He was playing his best golf in the spring, headed to the Masters and then didn't break par until the final round, when it was too late. Poised to make a run at his first major in the U.S. Open, he missed the cut. Before an English crowd at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Donald was 10 shots out of the lead going into the last round. He closed with a 69 to tie for fifth, a small consolation.
Even so, Donald says that British Open experience could help him this week at Kiawah Island.
"Certainly coming off the U.S. Open, I was very disappointed how I handled the situation mentally,'' Donald said. "I didn't come in hitting the ball that great, and maybe that added to some of the anxiety. But I think there was a little bit of a breakthrough, just realizing at The Open Championship that no matter how I'm hitting it physically, there's always a way to mentally be on top, have that control of how I want to feel come Thursday.''
Donald doesn't feel any anxiety about the PGA Championship being the final major of the year.
If anything, he overdid it at Augusta National, the first major for everybody after seven months, with emotions running high. The PGA Championship is the last major after a busy summer filled with three majors and a World Golf Championship. Part of him is too tired to get too worked up. It's time to just go play.
"That excitement, that buildup, is a lot more at the Masters,'' he said. "We're toward the end of the season now. We're entrenched in our golf.''
Donald keeps putting himself into elite company, though he is always the exception.
Since the world ranking began in 1986, only four other players have been at No. 1 longer than the 56 weeks Donald has been at the top – Tiger Woods (623 weeks), Greg Norman (331), Nick Faldo (97) and Seve Ballesteros (61).
Trouble is, those four have combined for 27 majors. Donald is still trying to win his first one.
Starting with the 1997 Masters, only six players have been No. 1 going into a major, with Woods leading the way in 51 of those 64 majors. Next on that list is Donald. The PGA Championship is his seventh major as the No. 1 player.
The difference is just as obvious. Woods won 11 of his 59 majors as No. 1. Donald is 0-for-7.
He joins Westwood as the only two players to be No. 1 without ever having won a major. Donald is starting to stand out because he's No. 1 at the last seven majors. That would suggest he's consistently on form. It just seems his game takes a week off at the wrong time.
It's not a lack of effort in preparation. Donald has tried just about everything to get his game to peak at a major.
"In the end, it just comes down to being able to perform during that week,'' he said. "I've tried coming to tournament sites early, spending a lot of time, and I've gone the other way. The last two majors, Royal Lytham and this week, I haven't played a practice round before this week. We'll see how I do this week. But again, I think it's more important for me to be able to control that mindset.''

ext3 plus file-backed loop device not recommended!
If you google for something like "journaling file systems" with "loop device" you see a lot of comments such as this one:
2.2. Use of journaling file systems on loop device
Don't use a journaling file system on top of file backed loop device. Device
backed loop device can be used with journaling file systems as device backed
loops guarantee that writes reach disk platters in order required by
journaling file system (write caching must be disabled on the disk drive, of
course). With file backed loop devices, correct write ordering may extend
only to page cache (which resides in RAM) of underlying file system. VM can
write such pages to disk in any order it wishes, and thus break write order
expectation of journaling file system.
This comment even claims it is dangerous to do so:
Absolutely - journaling filesystems depend upon the maintenance of
the order of device write operations. Where this is not the case, file
system recovery based upon the journal has the potential to be very
Thus journaling in a file-backed loop device (such as Puppy uses) has the potential to cause the very problem journaling was supposed to prevent!
This has nothing to do with encryption per se. It does turn up in encryption discussions though, because that is where file-based loop devices are often used.
I mentioned this on the other forum but it drew no comments. Is this something that should be re-thought? Should we be using ext2? Or am I completely missing some point here?
I'm wondering if the operative phrase is "on top of", that is, the file system underlying the loop device can be journaling, but creating another loop device within, that is journaling, is the problem?

Well, we could go back to ext2.... it's easy enough to do, as a pre-
existing ext3 f.s. can be mounted as just ext2.

Too bad so many pup_saves are sitting on (non-journaling) FAT filesystem. Those sitting on ext3 or ntfs file systems can (I think) get the benefits of journaling from the underlying file system and thus could be mounted as an ext2 (and get better performance besides). But there is no such protection for pup_saves on a FAT filesystem.
But if what these guys are saying is true, there is no protection anyway.
All the above assumes I understand what they are talking about!
Maybe we should run pup_saves as ext2, and then tell people it is OK to leave the thing sitting on their FAT32 c drive but that it will have no more protection than any other file on that filesystem. And that the way to go is to create a small partition that is ext3 and put it there, if they want more protection. Of course then you don't really need the pup_save at all, but I like having it anyway for portability, backup, etc.
Or another thing would be to leave it on the FAT32 system but back up frequently (pup_saves are nice for backup). A simple script to automate that might be handy.
Here's another post that explains in more detail:
Jani Averbach wrote:

Device backed loops (ext3 -> loop -> device) don't have issues with ext3 or
any other journaled filesystems.
However, if loop is file backed (ext3 -> loop -> ext3 -> device), the
underlying file system must be mounted data=journal or data=ordered. If
underlying filesystem is mounted data=writeback or if it is plain old ext2,
write ordering expectation by journaled filesystem (ext3, reiserfs, jfs,
xfs, or whatever) on top of loop driver is not guaranteed, and journal
replay may corrupt data. Use of non-journaled file systems on top of file
backed loop don't have above mentioned write ordering issues, as they must
be repaired using fsck, not by replaying journal.

BTW, I have noticed when I decrypt my pup_save file, and go look at the file info with Rox, it says "Linux rev 1.0 ext3 file system data (needs journal recovery)". I don't know how it got that way, but anyway, with that warning above (that the journal can actually corrupt your filesystem if used for recovery), I am afraid to run a journal recovery on it!
As an experiment, I created an ext2 copy of my 512MB pupsave, and did a e2fsck on it. It took only a second! So, if I may be so bold, I'd like to suggest that for Puppy 213, the boot process should always do an e2fsck on any ext2 pup_save it is about to use since the journalling will not be there.
Being even more bold, we might advise (require?) everyone on the upgrade to convert to an ext2 pup_save, maybe make it part of the upgrade process. There will be the advantage of higher performance since journaling filesystems are slower than non-journaling filesystems.
Woops, doing an fsck on a non-encrypted pup_save is no big deal, but it ain't exactly trivial on an encrypted one <sigh>:
I'm guessing it would be slow too.

Is this still problematic and could someone explain the issue in a "noob-friendly" language?
I used to only like Puppy as a friend, but now I think our relationship is starting to develop into something more...

The device (partition on the drive where you store your pupsave) has a file system that is either journaling (e.g. ext3, ext4, ntfs) or non-journaling (e.g. FAT32 or ext2). The pupsave file has within it another file system also, either journaling or non-journaling.
Journaling file systems offer better likelihood of recovery when things go bad (e.g. power outage) at the cost of size and performance, and also faster wearing out of NAND based memory devices like USB flash drives.
The bad combination is having a pupsave with a journaling file system sitting on a device that has a non-journaling file system. I doubt there has been any change in this problem but don't know for sure.
It's hard to say if this is merely a theoretical concern or actual. If you are recovering from a power loss and the recovery goes bad, do you know why? Are you even aware of a bad recovery? People have run with the "bad" configuration for a long time and not complained of any problems. Nobody really knows the answer to this.
My advice these days is run it the way you want to run it, and don't worry too much about this problem - but back up your pupsave frequently. Personally I keep important stuff outside my pupsave so if it goes bad I don't care much, just make another one. I always use ext2 in the pupsave and on the device because I'm usually booting from flash drives. Also I have done several recoveries using e2fsck and it always worked; I think the rarity of disk writes in Puppy and in the general home computer environment helps here. Journaling may have a lot more application to big multiuser machines...
Another thing to do is run your machine on battery backup, which are getting pretty cheap these days. I should follow my own advice.
