Six items that have consumers buzzing in the world of beer, wine and spirits as we head into the weekend.
1. Anheuser-Busch Getting Ready to Take Flight?: Is an LGA lager in the future for the New York Area? Anheuser-Buschhas filed trademark applications for 42 airport codes, including LGA, JFK, ORD, LAX and DFW. Last year, AB filed trademark applications for 15 area codes. The brewer is no a stranger to beers named for a city's local data. One of the most popular beers in the AB-I-owned Goose Island Brewing portfolio is 312 Urban Wheat Ale, "312" being the area code of the brewery's home in Chicago.
2. Heineken Bringing Indio To the U.S.: Heineken USA, already the exclusive U.S. importer for Mexican beer brands including Tecate, Tecate Light, Dos Equis, and Sol is adding another import to its portfolio. The global brewer is expanding with Indio, a Mexican dark beer brewed and sold in Mexico since 1893. The beer will only be available in seven markets in California and Texas. Indio will be marketed towards Hispanic men aged 21 years to 26 years old and is part of Heineken's attempt to reach an estimated five million "multicultural millennial consumers."
3. New Belgium Hits the Slopes: The craft beer brand best known for its bicycle is strapping on skis. New Belgium Brewing, the third largest craft brewer in the U.S., is teaming with The Westin Snomass Resort in Colorado to open a slope side bar and eatery. Named after its popular Ranger IPA, the New Belgium Ranger Station will offer Colorado craft beers just steps from the ski slopes. As part of the deal, the renovated Wildwood Snowmass hotel will also have a New Belgium-themed establishment, with 10 of the Fort Collins-based brewer's beers on tap, including its flagship Fat Tire Amber Ale. Both establishments will be open for the 2012/2013 winter ski season.
4. Dogfish Head Creates A "House Party In A Box": Delaware-based Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is famous for its unique collaborations. Now they've joined together with hip hop artist Dan The Automater of Deltron 3030 to create a "House Party in a Box." The brewery is packaging a six-pack of 750 millileter bottles of its Positive Contact beer/cider hybrid with a vinyl record with tunes from Deltron 3030. Also included are beer-inspired recipes from well-known chefs like Mario Batali.
5. Jim Nantz Finds A Calling in the Wine Business: Known to sports fans around the world as a live commentator on everything from the Masters to the Super Bowl, Jim Nantz has made his living calling the action in the biggest sporting events. Now, Nantz is partnering with Peter Deutsch, a leader in the wine industry, to roll out The Calling, a Sonama-based wine brand. The Deutsch Nantz Alliance expects to bring its first wine to the market in June.
6. Diageo Markets Bushmills to a Younger Crowd: The push to capture the attention of millennial consumers is one of the hottest trends in the alcohol space right now and to that end Diageo is marketing one of it its oldest brands to the this young audience. The spirits giant is launching a global website for the Bushmills brand and will be partnering with celebrities like electro-funk producers Chromeo and folk band Bon Iver on collaborations designed to help the brand reach a younger audience.

San Antonio - The Trinity Tigers shut down one of the most potent offenses in the nation to defeat the Huntingdon Hawks 24-7 in an NCAA Division III non-conference game at the Trinity Football Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Trinity remained undefeated at 6-0, marking the first time the Tigers have won six straight games since the the 2008 campaign. Huntingdon, an NCAA independent, dropped to 5-2. The Tigers have now won three of their four meetings with the Hawks, with Huntingdon taking last year's match-up 56-30 at Montgomery, Ala.
The Hawks were ranked fifth in total offense, averaging over 500 yards and 37.7 points per game. Trinity's defense, which had two goal-line stands, limited Huntingdon to 368 total yards (63 yards rushing, 306 yards passing).
"That was a signature win," said Tigers head Coach Steve Mohr. "Our defense continues to rise up. They just amaze me. Offensively, we scored enough. It would have been nice to come up with a couple of touchdowns instead of a field goal. But they (Huntingdon) are a good football team. And, it's good to be 6-0."
Tiger quarterback Nyk McKissic scored on Trinity's first possession of the game, capping a 10-play, 78-yard with a two-yard scamper with 10:25 left in the quarter.
Huntingdon evened things up with four minutes to go in the first, as Trevor Manuel rushed for a four-yard touchdown. No one knew at the time that it would be the last points of the day for the Hawks.
McKissic tossed a 25-yard TD pass to Jonathan Osei-Kuffour just 10 seconds into the second quarter, as the Tigers took a 14-7 lead. Garrett Biel, who also kicked three extra points, booted a 38-yard field goal with 8:46 remaining in the first half, as Trinity went into the locker room with a 17-7 lead. An interception by Trinity's Nicholas Darling (nine tackles, three solo) of quarterback Neal Posey, returned two yards to the Hawks 19, helped set up the field goal by Biel.
With his six points in the win, Biel moved up to 14th place in Trinity history for career points scored.
In the third quarter, the Tigers Antonio Debouse intercepted a Posey pass at the Trinity 43, and returned the ball 46 yards to the Huntingdon 11. Desmond King then rushed for four yards to the Huntingdon seven, and the Tigers lined up for a field goal. Matthew Kennemer mishandled the snap, but turned it into a positive play by running it in for a touchdown.
"We beat speed with speed,"said Debouse, who had eight tackles (three solo). "We knew if we came out and hit them hard, and hit them fast, we had a good chance of shutting them down. We are just getting back to our old roots."
Posey completed 31-50 passes (three interceptions) for 306 yards, and was sacked three times.
Von'Darrick Jones halted a Huntingdon drive by recovering a fumble by Manuel on the Trinity six. Posey was intercepted for the third time as Zach Wright snagged a pass at the Tigers five yard line late in the fourth quarter.
Tyler Barrett shared the lead with Ben Robinson in total tackles, with 11. Barrett registered 10 solo tackles and a pass breakup, and Robinson had eight unassisted tackles, a forced fumble, and two pass breakups. Robinson's forced fumble kept Huntingdon out of the end zone despite it being second-and-goal from the one.
Kyle Trella punted the ball eight times for 320 yards, with an average of 40 yards per punt ( a long punt of 47 yards). Trella now has over 5,000 punting yards in his career.
Trinity, ranked fourth in total defense, forced four Huntingdon turnovers, with three interceptions and a recovered fumble.
The Tiger offense, on the other hand, did not commit a turnover. McKissic went 18-29 for 194 yards (one sack), and rushed eight times for 21 yards. Osei-Kuffour snagged seven passes for 100 yards, and Patrick Granchelli had 21 rushing attempts for 51 yards. Granchelli became the 21st Tiger player to reach the 1,000-yards rushing plateau.
Trinity produced 194 yards in the air and 93 on the ground, for 287 total yards.
The Tigers travel to La Grange, Ga., next Saturday for a non-conference game with LaGrange College. Trinity resumes its Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference campaign Oct. 29 by hosting Birmingham-Southern at noon. The Tigers stand at 3-0 in SCAC play.

Co-ops & Community Jobs
Central EMC boosts Lee County airport expansion loanBy Renee C. Gannon
Central Electric Membership Corporation, located in Sanford, will use $800,000 in zero-interest USDA Rural Economic Development loans and grants to assist the Sanford-Lee County Airport Authority in its expansion of the Raleigh Executive Jetport. The funds will help consolidate and relocate of the North Carolina Department of Forest Resources' airplane maintenance services at the Jetport.
Approximately $300,000 of the funding is a revolving grant — once the money is paid back to Central EMC, the cooperative can re-distribute it for other economic development projects in its service area. Central EMC will also match the grant with $60,000 in funding, which will be deposited into the EMC's revolving loan fund and loaned out within three years. Further, these funds will be matched with $200,000 from the Sanford-Lee County Airport Authority.
The Raleigh Executive Jetport is a growing part of Lee County's economy, with seven air industry businesses already located at the airport. In addition to the companies directly located at the site, the Jetport supports other Lee County businesses by providing convenient access to air transportation. This project will create jobs at a municipally operated airport and will help attract additional private aircraft to the airport.
The airport expansion project will create or relocate 14 direct N.C. Forest Service jobs in Lee County, as well as 50 construction jobs during the project's stages.
The loans will fund construction of three new buildings at the airport: a 10,000-square-foot hanger capable of housing maintenance operations, a 2,500-square-foot storage facility, and a 2,000-square-foot office complex for Forest Service workers. The Forest Service plans to lease the buildings on a 30-year contract with the Airport Authority, and headquarter five planes at the Jetport, with another 25 flown in for regular maintenance.
The Forest Service operates more than 30 aircraft stationed at 11 facilities throughout the state. To streamline its operations and reduce overhead costs, the Forest Service is consolidating its statewide aircraft maintenance operations at Sanford-Lee County.
Stationing the Forest Service aircraft at the Jetport will also increase the airport's fuel sales, its primary source of revenue, enabling the airport to make future investments to attract private capital and create jobs. Finally, the additional capacity added through this project should attract more transient aircraft to the Jetport.

European Commission
José Manuel Durão Barroso
President of the European Commission
Statement by the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Durão Barroso following his meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper
Press point/Brussels
18 October 2013
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
I am delighted to welcome Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to Brussels today.
His visit marks a turning point in European Union– Canadian relations as I am pleased to announce that we have today achieved a breakthrough in the negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement - or CETA as it is also known.
I have just signed a declaration with Prime-Minister Harper confirming that this agreement opens a new era in the European Union-Canada relations.
First, let me thank Commissioner Karel De Gucht - who is in Luxembourg today with European trade ministers – and our negotiators for their dedication and hard work at getting this deal struck along with their Canadian counterparts.
And of course my very personal special thanks and appreciation to Prime Minister Harper. We had an intense dialogue and in the last five months this is our fourth meeting, which illustrates well our joint commitment to this agreement and to the European Union-Canada relations. Thank you Stephen for the constructive spirit, in which you always dealt with us in terms of this agreement that I believe is a great agreement for both Canada and the European Union.
This is indeed a truly historic occasion. It is the first time that the European Union agrees a trade agreement with a G8 country and it will also be the biggest trade agreement of Canada ever.
This is also a landmark achievement for the transatlantic economy and a stepping stone to an integrated transatlantic market, something I have been advocating for a long time and I am proud that this Commission is taking the necessary steps in that direction.
This agreement will boost our trade and investment relations and will contribute to generate more growth and jobs in the European Union and Canada. Once implemented, according to independent studies, it is expected to increase two-way bilateral trade in goods and services by 23%, around €26 billion. The overall benefits of the agreement are expected to raise the level of the European Union's annual GDP by approximately €12 billion a year.
With this agreement we are also sending an important and positive signal around the world: to markets, to businesses, our trading partners and of course the millions of people across Europe, but also I believe, across Canada, that are looking for growth and in Europe especially, for a renewed economic drive.
So, basically, what's in the deal?
First of all, industrial tariffs will be fully eliminated – this means brought to zero - and European Union exporters are expected to save almost € 500 million in duties per year.
Secondly, we will increase our cooperation on technical regulation and the mutual recognition of industrial standards which will end up costly procedures for consumers and producers in the European Union and Canada.
Furthermore, we open trade in services, in particular financial services, telecommunications, e-commerce, energy and transport.
And for the first time in its history, Canada has committed all its levels of government to the opening up of public procurement markets, which will provide EU exporters with brand new opportunities.
For both PM Harper and myself agriculture was a sensitive matter, as usually happens in trade negotiations. We were able however to strike a very good balance between our offensive and defensive interests. And I would like to say that I am particularly happy that we achieved recognition and protection of our geographical indications.
Finally it is important to underline that both of us have agreed that our trade and investment relationship will not develop at the expense of the environment or of labour rights. I think this is especially important since we know that sometimes there are some concerns expressed, namely here in Europe, that trade and liberalisation could lower the standards in several fields. This is not at all the case with this historical achievement.
Today's successful outcome shows us that with political will and a good dose of hard work there is a way to reach a result that benefits people on both sides of the Atlantic. I want of course once again to congratulate the Prime Minister Harper but also the negotiators on both sides. Some of them are present here on the Canadian side. On the European side, as I said, Karel De Gucht cannot be with us because of the trade ministerial in Luxembourg.
Prime Minister, dear Stephen,
This agreement also has an importance which goes beyond trade. Together with the Strategic Partnership Agreement that we should conclude soon, it will cement our bilateral relationship and the strong bonds that unite Europe and Canada.
I am therefore proud to say that today is the beginning of new era for the EU and Canada as stated in our joint declaration signed just now.
I thank you for your attention.

December 26, 2012
Iran reported a spree of new cyberattacks Tuesday, saying foreign enemy hackers tried in recent months to disrupt computer systems at a power plant and other industries in a strategically important southern coastal province as well as a Culture Ministry information centre.
Accounts of the attacks in the official media did not specify who was responsible, when they were carried out or how they were thwarted. But they strongly suggested that the attacks had originated in the United States and Israel, which have been engaged in a shadowy struggle of computer sabotage with Iran in a broader dispute over whether Iran's nuclear energy program is for peaceful or military use.
Iran has been on heightened alert against such sabotage since a computer worm known as Stuxnet was used to attack its uranium enrichment centrifuges more than two years ago, which U.S. intelligence officials believe caused many of the machines to spin out of control and self-destruct, slowing the Iranian program's progress.

The Houston Dynamo will host Mexican powerhouse Monterrey, the defending CONCACAF Champions League winners, in a friendly at Robertson Stadium on Sunday, September 4, the clubs announced today. The match will be the second in the last three seasons between the clubs; Houston beat Monterrey 2-1 in the 2009 Dynamo Charities Cup. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.
Monterrey has won two of the last four Mexican league championships and won the 2010-11 CONCACAF Champions League title, beating Major League Soccer's Real Salt Lake 3-2 on aggregate in the championship, played over two legs. By virtue of that victory, Rayados will compete in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in club history. Coached by the experienced Victor Manuel Vucetich, Monterrey is led by forwards Aldo de Nigris and Humberto Suazo.
The Dynamo are 7-7-4 all-time against Mexican clubs and 7-4-3 at home, including wins over Club America, Pachuca, Atlante, and Puebla. The match will be the Dynamo's second international friendly of the year, following the July 20 Dynamo Charities Cup against Bolton Wanderers. Tickets for the match are already included in Dynamo season ticket packages.
"We always enjoy playing against teams from Mexico," Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "Monterrey is one of the more celebrated teams in Mexico, especially over the last couple of years, and they have great players and a great following here in Houston. We played them two years ago in the Charities Cup and had a great game, and we're looking forward to another one in September."
Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 26. Ticket prices range from $24 to $78. Group ticket discounts are also available through the Dynamo offices. For more information, call (713) 276-GOAL or log on to HoustonDynamo.com.

Kiss off: Philomatophobia = no puckering up
Q. What's "philematophobia," in "Philadelphia" (the "city of brotherly love") or anywhere for that matter? –T. Hanks
A. It's the "fear of kissing," or feeling squeamish about puckering up, says Sheril Kirshenbaum in The Science of Kissing. This occurs when people become terrified of lip-on-lip contact, some frightened of bacteria, others of having their tongue bitten off. Most of us, though, want to keep on kissing in spite of the risks; cleanliness can help defeat the germs and also boost the likelihood that any other mouth pressed to yours will be back for more.
"In reality, there are generally a greater number of dangerous germs transmitted during a handshake than a kiss," says Kirshenbaum.
Q. How long can a bird stay aloft? –A. Hale
A. It depends on the species, says ScienceIllustrated.Com magazine. Ostriches can't fly at all, but buzzards and albatrosses can soar for hours or days. The bar-tailed godwit, which migrates between New Zealand and Alaska, is known for the longest nonstop flight of eight days and 7,000 miles. Ornithologist Robert Gill believes it's probably the longest nonstop transoceanic journey of any animal on Earth.
"The shape of a bird's wings and body, the ratio of wingspan to weight, plus the amount of fat carried and metabolic rate," Gill says, "all contribute to the huge variability in bird endurance."
Q. At what point would a line from Cleveland down through the Earth's center emerge? –J. Brown
A. Such locations are known as "antipodes," or direct opposites, says University of Saskatchewan geographer Scott Bell. The word is Greek for "having feet opposite," or people and places diametrically opposed on the globe. The most distant point on Earth from you right now is the antipode. Thus the antipodes are separated by half the circumference of the globe (180 degrees), with one point being as far north of the equator as the other is south. Midnight at one point is noonday at the other.
Computing the antipode point can be tricky, involving latitude and longitude readings, maps, globes, calculations. But in this Internet age, just log on to antipodr.com and type in a street address or city name, and the antipode will be calculated for you.
The geographic coordinates of downtown Cleveland are latitude N 41 degrees 30 seconds, longitude W 81 degrees 42 seconds, says University of Nebraska geographer John Bauer. Its antipode would be latitude S 41 degrees 30 seconds, longitude E 98 degrees 42 seconds, "located in the Southern Ocean, approximately 1,000 miles southwest of Perth, Australia."
Q. What special conversational skill is required for a phone call that you don't need when e-mailing, texting, instant messaging or Twittering? –S. Garcia
A. It helps to be able to interpret voice intonations, pauses, pacings, but that's necessary for face-to-face conversations as well, says Sherry Turkle in Alone Together. So look elsewhere to understand why e-mail and texting have become the preferred way of communicating information.
Turkle mentions the case of Audrey, a high-schooler who is never without her cell phone, sometimes using it to text even as she instant-messages at an open computer screen. Audrey prefers texting to talking. When texting, she feels at a reassuring distance, in control of the conversation even if it goes in an unwanted direction. She can just say, "Got to go, bye."
This last is what Audrey (and apparently millions of others) likes least about talking on the phone. "A phone call," she explains, "requires the skill to end a conversation when you have no real reason to leave... You just want to. I don't know how to do it. I don't want to learn."

Right-hander, Rob Smithson, gave the Bisons another solid outing but the offense could get nothing going against Kennesaw State's Bubba Blalock, as the Bisons were shut-out 3-0 on Friday, May 4.
The Owls struck for a run in the second inning on an RBI sacrifice fly by Matt Hopkins. Smithson settled down from there, not allowing another run until the eighth when he allowed a single to Jay Morrow who advanced all the way home on three wild pitches. After walking the next batter, Jace Whitmer, Smithson was relieved by right-hander, Chris Burnett who gave up a single to Matt Dallas allowing the Owls' final run to score.
In 7.1 innings, Smithson allowed three runs on five hits, while striking out two. With the loss he dropped to 6-4.
Meanwhile, the Bisons' offense could muster only four hits off Blalock, two of which came in the second inning. From that point on, the only two Bisons' hits would come on a single by Ryan Wilkins in the fourth and a single by Caleb Joseph in the seventh.
The loss dropped the Bisons to 26-21 on the season, and 10-9 in the conference.
The Bisons' will conclude their series against Kennesaw State with a double-header on Saturday, May 5. Game one is set to begin at 1 p.m.
Left-hander, Rex Brothers will take the mound for the Bisons in game one. On the season, Brothers is 7-2 with a 3.82 ERA. He has struck out 70 and opponents are batting just .215 against him.

Atheist Max Jukes, born in 1700, married a woman who dabbled in the occult.
Atheist Max Jukes, born in 1700, married a woman who dabbled in the occult.
Of their 1,200 descendants, 310 lived as beggars and died poor; 440 ruined their lives through corruption; 130 spent time in prison � seven for murder � with an average 13-year sentence. More than 600 became alcoholics; 60 were habitual thieves; 190 became prostitutes; and 20 became tradesmen, 10 of whom learned their trade in prison.
That family tree cost the state $1.2 million.
Jonathan Edwards, a Presbyterian minister born in 1703, had strong faith in Jesus Christ at 24 and married a 17-year-old woman of strong faith. They consecrated their marriage to the Lord on their wedding night.
Their descendants included 300 clergypersons � some were missionaries and theological professors. There were 100 professors, 100 attorneys, 30 judges and a dean of law school.
There were 60 authors of classic writings, 60 became physicians, and one became a medical school dean. There were 14 university presidents, three mayors of large cities, three governors, one U.S. Treasury controller, and one United States vice president.
Their descendants cost the state nothing.
Fascinating, isn�t it, that two people, born in the same period, have very different outcomes to their lives and the lives of their descendants.
Often, people will hear of situations like the Jukeses� and say, "Oh, they were brought up in a terrible environment. They had no choice in the matter."
They will say the same thing about people like the Edwardses: "Oh, they were brought up in a loving and caring environment. They were only living what they learned."
True. People do tend to live what they learn. Examples with the deepest impact come from parents and older family members. If parents live a life of wickedness, children will see and follow this.
Likewise, if parents are loving and demonstrate mutual respect and trust.
Kids mimic and perpetuate what they observe and learn. And it will go on for generations.
What are you teaching your children or grandchildren?
The Rev. Mark Broadhead is Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church of Crestview�s pastor.

There has been much harrumphing about the Iowa Supreme Court's recent decision in favor of a dentist who fired his long-time assistant because his lust for her threatened his marriage. The commentaries thus far have been one-sided, but the case invites serious re-consideration of antidiscrimination laws in general.
Anybody who criticizes antidiscrimination legislation risks being branded as a racial bigot, since the first major examples of such legislation were the civil rights laws of the 1960s. The obviously noble objective of this legislation inhibits criticism of the means by which that goal was pursued.
The basic problem with making discrimination illegal is that genuine laws are stated in terms of actions. Some actions are prohibited, and those which are not prohibited are perfectly legal. But discrimination is not an action at all; it is just a possible reason for or motivation of an action.
An employer's decision not to hire a particular individual or to fire that person, for example, could be for any number of possible reasons, only one of which might be that the employer is prejudiced against some class of people of which that individual is a member. Since the very same action may be legal or illegal depending on the motive, the government (meaning prosecutors, judges, etc.) must decide whether the action was taken for good reasons or bad reasons.
Such decisions take time. In the case of the fired dental assistant in Iowa, it took three years for the case to get up to the state supreme court.
In other words, antidiscrimination law means that a large number of private decisions are no longer final until a protracted and expensive process of litigation has taken place. Actions can be observed, but motivations must be inferred. This means that government officials must make highly subjective inferential decisions about the motivations for which actions took place. Ironically, laws whose goal is to prevent arbitrary treatment by private persons radically increase the ability of powerful government officials to treat people arbitrarily.
Whether the horrible treatment of black people in America justified such an extreme remedy as antidiscrimination "law" is beyond the scope of the present discussion. However there can be no doubt that the civil rights laws have been a precedent that has been expanded beyond all reasonable limits. There are now all sorts of "discrimination" that have been made illegal.
In the Iowa case, the fired assistant was admittedly a top-notch and experienced worker for whom her former employer would give excellent references. She should have had little difficulty in finding a good job with another dentist, in which case her financial losses from losing her previous job would have been minimal.
I do hope her lawyer was working on a contingency fee basis, as otherwise she will be out a serious amount of money.
Nobody has a kind word for the Iowa dentist, and neither do I. But even bad people can have a good case, and the Iowa Supreme Court should be congratulated for not extending antidiscrimination law even further than required by current statutes. It would be even better if legislatures would reconsider the propriety and wisdom of making an endless list of discriminations illegal in the first place.
Paul F. deLespinasse, who now lives in Oregon, is professor emeritus of political science at Adrian College. He can be reached via his website, www.deLespinasse.org, which also contains a link to a book in which he discusses the problems with antidiscrimination law more fully.
Paul F. deLespinasse: Anti-discrimination law: Time for an honest re-examination
There has been much harrumphing about the Iowa Supreme Court's recent decision in favor of a dentist who fired his long-time assistant because his lust for her threatened his marriage. The commentaries thus far have been one-sided, but the case invites serious re-consideration of antidiscrimination laws in general.

Open Letter to Teenage Girl Suvivors
& Those Who Know Them
© 2010 Pandora's Project
By: Louise
For Teenage girl survivors of Child sexual abuse and
Are you somebody who has been sexually abused in childhood or more recently? Perhaps you feel that you are no good, and that what has happened to you is all your fault. Maybe you've decided that there is no point in trying to be different because you have been hurt so badly regardless of what you did. If you grew up with child sexual abuse, you may have decided that your only value is sexual, and you may have been used sexually by people who say they love you and then leave you once they've had sex with you. And you've found that people talk about you and call you names - because you've had sex, or because you were raped. Maybe you have a boyfriend who blackmails or forces you into sex, or beats you, or puts you down in front of his friends, and since others have treated you that way, you see little wrong with it. Indeed, it may by now seem "normal" for people to treat you abusively.
You may not have connected the way you feel or some of the choices you make with having been assaulted, and you may feel as if you are a bad person. You are not bad, sister, you are hurt.
Here are some common effects of sexual assault in teenage girls (see footnote for source):
- A sense of loss of
personal integrity - You may feel worthless and ashamed of being
you. People have done things to you and said things to you that made you
feel bad so you "act" bad.
sense of Loss of Control - One or more people have done things to
you against your will, so you believe there is no point in trying to
control anything in your world.
- Damage
to Emerging Sexual Identity - Sexual exploration and curiosity
is a natural part of developing as a young woman. But sexual assault may
have caused you to feel that sexuality and womanhood are bad, and maybe
you feel ashamed of your body.
- Personality
changes - Perhaps you have outbursts of anger, and people are
asking why you are suddenly so moody. You may have become withdrawn
because you're frightened that people can "see" what happened to you,
and you want to make yourself "invisible." You may feel depressed - or
you may actually be experiencing depression. You can get help - please
see "Getting Help" below.
- Lowered
School performance - You may have stopped trying to achieve
anything as the effort doesn't seem worth it. Perhaps the sexual
assaults are playing on your mind and emotions so much that you have
trouble concentrating.
- Withdrawal
from school or social activities - Perhaps you were outgoing,
but now shut yourself in your room. Your friends wonder why they can't
talk to you. You're in trouble a lot for truancy. Many girls experience
gang-rape or other sexual assault, and find that other people who know
spread the news, saying it was consensual and calling the survivor
terrible names - if this is you, you will naturally be terrified of
going to school.
- Flagrant
promiscuous behaviour: Because sexual things have been forced on
you, you may believe that you and your body are of no value, and that
you have to give sex to whoever wants it. If you were raped after saying
no - or were otherwise unable to say no - you may actually be too
frightened to say it again, or you might believe it is pointless. Child
sexual abuse may have taught you that you actually don't have the right
to say no. You may also be seeking to be loved.
- Drug and Alcohol abuse - Perhaps you feel
distanced from the pain in your life when you've used drugs or alcohol.
- Eating Disorders - Starving yourself may
be a way that you feel you can have some of the control over your body
that rape took from you back. Conversely, overeating and excessive
weight-gain may be a way of trying to protect yourself from being
sexually assaulted again.
- Risk-taking
and other self-destructive behaviour: You may believe your life
is of little value, and so you do things that you know are very risky,
such as driving with drunk people, taking drugs, or placing yourself in
situations where you may be sexually assaulted again. You may
self-injure as a way of punishing yourself, or because the physical pain
helps dull the emotional pain. Maybe you have sex without protection
from STDs and pregnancy.
- Alienation-
Maybe you feel that the dark secrets you keep are things that nobody
else could ever understand. You feel completely alone..
- Super-achieving and trying to be "Good enough" - Perhaps you believe you were assaulted because you were bad, and you try to be "good enough" to stop it from happening again. Straining to achieve and be perfect may be a way that you try to hide your inner sense of shame from the world.
Maybe you've had nobody to challenge the bad messages about yourself that sexual assault has given you, and you may feel that nobody cares anyway.
If you've paused to read this article, I want to challenge those messages. I want you to know that I care.
I once felt the way you do. I want you to know you're not alone, and so I'm going to share the story of my teen years with you.
I grew up a beaten, neglected and sexually abused child. Some of the sexual abuse I experienced was the only affection I ever got, and I believed that having sex with somebody was the only way to be loved. As well, my self-concept was ruined by other abuse from my drug-addicted, mentally ill mother.
Consequently by the time I was 13, I changed from a sweet, obliging child who tried to do all the right things for approval into a little tough who did all the wrong things for approval of a different kind. I was so desperate to be accepted, I hung with dangerous and damaged people. Before I even had my first period, I had a sexual encounter with a guy who said he loved me. He would have sex with me and make me walk home on my own on cold dark nights – and would not pass a word with me at school the next day. He bullied me into having oral sex with him in front of his best friend. I was so ashamed, but also afraid to lose his affection. He consciously used this, and I now know that the shame is his. At some level, I knew he was using me, but I wanted to believe he loved me. Of course he shot his mouth off to everybody, and people began to call me names like "slut" - and if you're an Australian girl, you'll be familiar with "moll". Yet, even after he dumped me and said such terrible things about me, he would still show up at my home every few weeks, and use me again. I let him.
What I remember so acutely about this time was the sudden welter of interest from other guys. There was nothing romantic about it; not the stuff of a teenage girl's fantasies; it was obnoxious, disgusting, and as I now know, veered into the criminal. They'd heard I could be "had", and they acted as if they were entitled to me. Daily, the abuse ranged from harassment of the "I've heard alllll about you" variety, to name-calling, being spat on, being groped, having fingers shoved in my vagina – once in a deserted corridor and another in the swimming pool. I was held down in the science labs while a group of boys felt up my skirt, shouting with disgust when they discovered I had my period. It was perfectly amazing too, how many claimed to have had sex with me when they hadn't been anywhere near me.
I wish that I had known that they weren't entitled to treat me that way. I truly thought that if I'd earned the name, I had to suffer the consequences. I cannot convey what it felt like to truly believe I was worthless, but if you've been there – and I'm so sorry if you have – you'll understand. By the time I was 14 and had slept with somebody else who said nice words to me only to be used again, I thought that the business of trading sex for affection wasn't working out so well. I didn't want to do it anymore and resolved to say no. But then I was raped twice for testing out my new-found determination to say no. The first rapist was really angry that the likes of me had felt entitled to say no, and didn't care when I cried, he just stripped me, raped me and then offered me cab fare home.
It felt like there was no escape. And it really felt like it was okay for people to treat me that way. I knew I could never tell, because people would only affirm that it was my fault. I did not believe I could tell anybody I had been raped because firstly, I was deeply ashamed, and second, I didn't think anybody would believe somebody who had a reputation for being a "slut".
The second rapist had been my boyfriend before, and then dumped me. But I accepted a date to the drive-in with him, and when he got too close, I told him I wanted to go home. After he raped me, I didn't menstruate for three months and had my mother drag me off to the doctor calling me everything she could lay a tongue to. Thankfully, I wasn't pregnant.
So in my 14th year, there was not a lot I wouldn't do, and I had had numerous sexual partners by the time I was 15. It wasn't just young guys either, but older men, some married and including my best friend's father, who seemed to "smell": my badness and be drawn to it.
It actually felt strange when somebody didn't want to be sexual with me. I was in a foster home when I was 14. The shock for me was that the foster-father DIDN'T want to lay hands on me - and I had fully expected that he would. I kept waiting for it. And then there was Uncle Ray. I lied about where I was staying one night so that I could go off with my first boyfriend, who stood me up, leaving me with nowhere to stay the night. So in desperation I went to the home of a family friend whom we called Uncle Ray. I'd have rather faced that danger than go home to my mother. Uncle Ray let me have his bed, did not tell on me to my mother, and did NOT, to my surprise, want anything in return for letting me stay. I still feel grateful for that. In my world, not having my vulnerability exploited was just such a rarity. I remember who was nice to me, and I remember how I cried and tried to think of ways to pay them back.
What I mostly felt was irretrievably dirty – all the time. I certainly had a well-established victim mindset - but I simply didn't know how to think otherwise. I felt as if there was a sign on my back, and I now know this is common with many survivors of multiple sexual abuse.
Nice girls were warned off me by their parents, which fuelled my sense of dirtiness. One day I was pursued into a park by eight guys who said they were going to take turns. The ringleader tried to kiss me; I belted him and ran. I went into a public toilet cubicle and saw there a girl from school, whose name was also Louise. She was a beautiful blonde girl from a good home. I was panting and sobbing and she asked what was wrong, but I knew she would never understand. It was like living behind a wire fence; there was no place in the world of safety and nice girls for me. I remember how very sad I felt – and then I felt numb. It was just part of life.
Some people saw good things; the occasional teacher or classmate. But I thought they were having me on. I couldn't see what they could see.When I was 15, I got involved with a guy who beat me up, but again, I thought it was okay. I didn't much care what happened to me; I hitch-hiked and took all sorts of risks. I self-injured, drank, smoked and took booze to school.
At 15 I was expelled and became pregnant. It's not a good idea for very young girls to have babies, of course, and I wasn't looking to my child to "save" me. But I can honestly say that this tiny wee boy did straighten me out. I was 16 and more cynical, and knew guys would be after me because a girl who's had a baby is supposed to be an easy lay. But because of my baby boy, the first stirrings of self-respect and determination began. It was like I didn't need that fake affection anymore, and I could much more easily tell them to take a hike. Of course I was yet to learn it really wasn't okay for people to treat me badly, and to become involved at 18 with a partner abuser, but some change did begin.
It took along time to stop the sense of damning shame and dirtiness. I did a lot of healing around it when I was 26, and became very close friends with my 14 year old self. Despite these horrors, she was also funny, loyal and kind. She was not bad, she was hurt. She deserved help, not hate. Nobody was entitled to abuse her, no matter what sort of mark she wore. She has grown up to be a person who doesn't like to see anybody degraded.
I am now a university graduate with a wonderful family, great friends, and who have had the privilege of spending the past 22 years of my life assisting survivors of sexual assault.
And now back to you, Teen sister. If you have seen yourself in any of the above, there are several things I wish I'd known that I want you to know:
- You are not garbage, no matter
how many times you have been sexually assaulted and used. It was not
your fault, no matter what the circumstances. Please read this to understand why it wasn't your fault.
- Sexual assault
causes feelings of shame and dirtiness - this is something many
survivors feel. This is due to long-held - and completely wrong - myths
about rape and sexual assault. In reality, sexual assault is nothing for
you to be ashamed of. The shame belongs to those who have coerced,
bullied or forced you into doing sexual things against your will, It
doesn't matter if you were drunk, dating the rapist or other - you have
nothing to be ashamed of. If somebody shames you by saying things like
"What did you do to deserve it" or "You asked for it", they are wrong.
This is called Secondary Wounding, and you can read more about that here.
- Even
if you think nobody will believe that you were assaulted - or are still
being assaulted - they will. See Getting Help below.
- It
does not matter how many people you have had sex with - you ALWAYS have
the right to say no. Nobody is "entitled" to have sex with you or rape
you because others have done so. If you are facing the sort of sexual
harassment and assault at school that I described in my story, it needs
to be reported and stopped.
- Sexual and other abuse is not a
"normal" way to treat you. It is also not a normal part of a
relationship. It is NOT okay for anybody to hurt you, ever – even if
those who are supposed to care for you call you names and blame you –
they are simply wrong.
- When people call you names, that
doesn't make them true. Names like "slut" are ignorant value-judgments
that happen for a number of reasons, perhaps from people who are either
young themselves or who can't understand your pain. Also, it's grossly
unfair that it's girls who cop these names, isn't it?
- If
you are still being sexually assaulted, you deserve for it to be stopped
as soon as possible. Perhaps it is a family member who has been abusing
you for along time,or somebody from your school. There may be more than
one person abusing you. You may be frightened because you've been
threatened about what may happen if you tell, or you may be afraid of
getting the abuser into trouble. But the person hurting you is relying
on your silence so that they can continue to do so. You DON'T have to
deal with this alone. They can be stopped. Please see Getting Help
- Even if you feel there is no hope, there is. With the
right help you will one day feel differently about what you are going
through now.
- If you are doing self-destructive things, then please find somebody who can help you stop. You are worth too much to be lost or to be hurt again. I'm going to make some suggestions about how to get help, and I hope you'll reach out to somebody.
Getting Help:
The first step to getting help is to tell somebody. Even if you have told about the sexual assault/s and were not believed, there are people who will believe you.
If you've been raped or sexually assaulted, there are services that help teenagers. Even if it feels very difficult to discuss, reach out to a counselor who is trained in working with sexual assault. You won't be expected to tell them about the assault/s straight away - these counselors understand that this can be difficult. Please see this page for services you can contact. You might also like to read Jes' wonderful article on telling about rape and sexual assault here.
If you are over 16, you are most welcome to join Pandora's Aquarium. We have many members who were or are in the same situation as you, and they will give you support.
If you are under 16, we at Pandora's Aquarium believe that you deserve special help that an online board can't offer you. Read this page for suggestions for help,and please reach out. Please also feel free to come and join us when you've turned sixteen if you still need support from other survivors.
You are beautiful, you are worthwhile. Even if you can't believe that right now, I do. You deserve support. You can heal, sweetheart, believe me.
Here is a song I'd like you to listen to - it's from my heart to you. Remember always that you are not alone.
For adults in contact with abused teenage girls:
Sexual assault extracts a most grievous cost in the lives of teenage girls. Like me, you probably find it appalling that teenage girls are sexually assaulted, judged, disbelieved and their pain ignored. When you see signs like the above in a teenage girl, please try to talk to her sensitively and gently about sexual assault, and assist her in seeking professional help. If you don't feel that you understand how to deal with sexual assault, a rape crisis service can give you guidance. Even if she doesn't want to talk about it right away, she will at least know you care. You may save her a lot more pain - and you may even save her life.
For teenagers in contact with abused teenage girls:
If you know somebody like what I have described above, you might not understand her behaviour. You will be doing a very great thing if you refuse to join in calling her names and exploiting her pain. Please try to reach out to her and suggest that she seeks help. You might tell a trusted adult about your concerns for her. She doesn't do what she does because she is bad. It's because she feels bad. She feels bad because people have done bad things to her. If you sexually abuse or assault her yourself, this is far worse than any of the things she has been accused of doing and called names for. Please don't add to her pain. Importantly, never make news of a peer's rape the subject of scorn and gossip, and try to be brave enough to challenge others who do. You are in a position to do something good here.

Bond It are Huddersfield Giants New Main Partner
Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce Bond It as the new Main Club Partner for the 2014 Super League Season.
The partnership will see Bond It's logo appear on the front of the Huddersfield Giants Official principal and alternative shirts which are to be unveiled in November. Bond It's Rescue Tape and Schonox brands will also feature on the 2014 shirts.
Bond It whose warehouse and manufacturing units are based on the Lowfields Business Park in Elland are one of the UK's fastest growing manufacturers of sealants, adhesives, grouts and other building chemicals.
Managing Director of Bond It David Moore is delighted to become the Huddersfield Giants Main Partner:
"Having started our partnership with the Huddersfield Giants in 2013 as an Associate shirt sponsor I am both delighted and proud that Bond It will become the Main Partner for the Giants Team for 2014. The feedback we received last season persuaded us it was the right move to feature three of our brands on the shirts for 2014; Schonox, Rescue Tape and of course Bond It on the front. Following the outstanding achievements of 2013 I am sure we are all looking forward to an exciting and successful season ahead."
Giants Commercial Manager Paul Cribb was delighted to welcome Bond It as Main Partner of the Huddersfield Giants.
"We have developed a fantastic relationship with Bond it over the last eighteen months and they have always expressed interest in every area of the club and been kept fully up to speed with all our developments. When the opportunity arose in respect of main partnership, David Moore and I had some really positive dialogue and were able to strike a deal that we both believe will benefit our companies. Their logo and that of associated brands will appear on our 2014 playing and replica shirts which we expect to be in our shop in November. I am sure that the supporters will particularly thank Bond It for their early commitment to partnership and that of the other Associate Partners on there too which has enabled the delivery date to be so early this time around. The shirt designs will be released later but for now personal thanks go to David and Bond It and we look forward to extending our excellent working relationship."

It really depends on the articulation. If we're getting super articulated figures, I'll more than happily pick up the OT gang and probably the new main characters. But any troopers or minor characters? Probably not. I have more than enough Rebels and Imperials and won't care enough to pick up Poggle the Lesser or Zam Wesell type characters. Plus most of my collecting focus is on LEGO now, and that takes up enough space on its own. Adding a whole new trilogy to what I have, yikes.Part of me is praying we get a shoddy 5 POA line similar to the last few Marvel movies so I can skip it entirely and not feel bad.

September 30, 2008
On September 29, 2008, FDA approved a pediatric efficacy supplement for Videx EC (didanosine) Delayed-Release Capsules, expanding the indication to include children weighing at least 20 kg.
The main changes include revisions to the Dosage and Administration section as follows: The recommended total daily dose to be administered once daily to pediatric patients weighing at least 20 kg who can swallow capsules is based on body weight (kg), consistent with the recommended adult dosing guidelines (see Table 1). Please consult the complete prescribing information for Videx Pediatric Powder for Oral Solution for dosage and administration of pediatric patients weighing less than 20 kg or who can not swallow capsules.
Table 1: Recommended Dosage (Adult and Pediatric Patients)
|Body Weight
|20 kg to less than 25 kg
|200 mg once daily
|25 kg to less than 60 kg
|250 once daily
|At least 60 kg
|400 mg once daily
Section 8.4 Pediatric Use was updated to state the following: Use of didanosine in pediatric patients from 2 weeks of age through adolescence is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of didanosine in adult and pediatric patients [see Dosage and Administration (2), Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Clinical Studies (14). Additional pharmacokinetic studies in pediatric patients support use of the Videx EC in pediatric patients who weigh at least 20 kg.
Section 12.3 was added to describe the population pharmacokinetic analysis for children: A population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted on pooled didanosine plasma concentration data from 9 clinical trials in 106 pediatric (neonate to 18 years of age) and 45 adult patients (greater than 18 years of age). Results showed that body weight is the primary factor associated with oral clearance. Based on the data analyzed, dosing schedule (once versus twice daily) and formulation (powder for oral solution, tablet and delayed-release capsule) did not have an effect on oral clearance. Didanosine exposure similar to that at recommended adult doses can be achieved in pediatric patients with a weight-based dosing scheme.
The results and conclusion from the hepatic impairment study were included in Section 12.3. Hepatic Impairment: The pharmacokinetics of didanosine have been studied in 12 non-HIV infected subjects with moderate (n=8) to severe (n=4) hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C). Mean AUC and Cmax values following a single 400 mg dose of didanosine were approximately 13% and 19% higher, respectively, in patients with hepatic impairment compared to matched healthy subjects. No dose adjustment is needed, because a similar range and distribution of AUC and Cmax values was observed for subjects with hepatic impairment and matched controls.
The following new language for disposal of unused medicines was incorporated in Section 17.
Dispose of unused medicines through community take-back disposal programs when available or place Videx EC in an unrecognizable closed container in the household trash.
Additionally, the label was converted to Physician Labeling Rule (PLR) format to make product labeling more informative and accessible.
The revised label will be available soon at Drugs@FDA.
Videx EC is a product of Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Quesion:AB is a uniform rod of length 50cm, and weight 20 newton, acting at its mid-point, rotates easily in a vertical plane about a fixed hinge at its end A. A couple having moment of magnitude 250 newton.cm acts on the rod in the same vertical plane. Find the measure of the inclination angle of the rod and the hinge reaction on the rod in the state of equilebrium.
Confusion:I reached to sinθ=1/2 then the confusion here is θ=30 only or 30 and 150 as sin150 also equal 1/2
Waiting your reply
hi Omar
Welcome to the forum.
I cannot see any reason why you shouldn't have two answers for this.
But, which angle are you calculating?
I would expect an angle of inclination to be with respect to the horizontal, 'a' in my diagram below.
That means for equilibrium, moments about A
My diagram shows the second answer with dotted lines.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your quick reply and concern, I am sorry for my late reply!
θ is the angle between the rode and the wall.
I have attached the way I've solved via it.
Thanks I have got it, the only confusion is that my book wrote the answer 30 only.
If theta is between the rod and the wall then 30 or 150 is good.
Cannot see why 150 has been left out. ??

Well, in both cases the inclination angle is 30 degrees, just in different directions.

This work analyses the relationship between human beings and their environment taking into consideration the adjustment and eventual invasion of rabbits in Chile. It argues that in the long run, human actions have unsuspected effects upon the environment. In fact rabbits were seen initially as an opportunity for economic development because of the exploitation of their meat and skin. Later, rabbits became a plague in different areas of Central Chile, Tierra del Fuego and Juan Fernández islands, which was difficult to control. Over the years rabbits became unwelcome guests in Chile.

He was the Oscar-winning Everyman.
Ernest Borgnine, who died Sunday at 95, had the resume of a Hollywood star, but not the distance usually associated with one.
Maybe it was the famous gap-toothed smile. Maybe it was the deep, hearty laugh that punctuated a conversation. Maybe it was that, despite numerous roles in film and theater, generations welcomed him into their living rooms as the feisty skipper of TV's McHale's Navy.
PHOTOS: Borgnine played everything from 'Marty' to a circus clown

BLOG: Celebrities react to Borgnine's death
During an acting career of more than 60 years, the Connecticut native worked with Helen Hayes on Broadway, with Gary Cooper and Spencer Tracy in film, and, for a much younger generation, as a voice actor in SpongeBob SquarePants on television. He and Frank Sinatra signed their Christmas cards "Fatso" and "Maggio," their respective characters in 1953's From Here to Eternity, a breakout role for Borgnine.
Borgnine's secret for long-term success was to not be another Hollywood pretty face.
"I was a character actor. Do I look like a good-looking man? No," he said in a 2011 interview timed to his acceptance of the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award. "But, see, I keep working when the rest of the boys are retired."
The beefy actor wasn't too finicky about scripts, either. "I read it. If I don't fall asleep, it's pretty good."
Borgnine won the 1955 Academy Award for best actor, beating out Jimmy Cagney, among others, for playing one of those unglamorous roles, the lonely butcher Marty Pilletti in the film Marty.
"Jerry Lewis had bet me a buck ninety-eight that I'd win. I'd gone home and taken 198 pennies and put them in a red sock, and as I went up there, they all wondered what I passed to Jerry Lewis," said the actor, who had been married nearly 40 years to his fifth wife, Tova.
Borgnine's 200-plus credits include Bad Day at Black Rock, Barabbas, The Dirty Dozen, The Wild Bunch and The Poseidon Adventure. Perhaps at odds with his friendly, grandfatherly demeanor, he played a heavy in some of his early film roles.
Borgnine initially resisted series TV, which was anathema to most film actors in the early 1960s. However, when a kid selling candy couldn't identify him but was familiar with Gunsmoke's James Arness, it persuaded him to enlist for four seasons in McHale's Navy.
Borgnine was a regular in later TV series, such as Airwolf in the 1980s and The Single Guy in the 1990s. He was still acting in his final years, appearing in 2010's RED.
Borgnine credited his mother for suggesting that he try acting when he went looking for work after 10 years in the Navy. "She said, 'Have you ever thought of becoming an actor? You always like to make a damn fool of yourself in front of people. Why don't you give it a try?' "
Fortunately for millions of film and TV fans, he did.

The three reservoir basins of the 50-acre park along the Brooklyn and Queens borderline were originally dedicated to supplying the city with drinking water until it was decommissioned back in 1956. Since then, the park, pump house and caretaker's cottage were left to the elements and fell into disrepair.
As the first phase of the park's improvement project is expected for completion by the summer, the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation provided three potential plans to the neighborhood; one of which offers the possibility of three new baseball and soccer fields.
Community Board 5 (CB5) chairman Vincent Arcuri joined dozens of community members and Parks representatives for a community forum on the proposed plans.
"It seemed as though the sentiment is toward a passive, reserved type of situation," Arcuri said of the meeting held at St. Pancras School, Pfeiffer Hall last week, located at 68-20 Myrtle Ave. "We don't want anything outrageous like ball fields, but to keep it green and a nature preserve. It's in the fly zone of a number of birds."
While all the plans presented at the meeting included redeveloping the gate and pump houses, a potential pedestrian bridge and overall restoration of the basins; the other two plans call for a rock climbing wall, a boat dock and athletic fields.
According to a Parks representative, "The concept plans were developed through a series of listening sessions hosted by the Parks Department in Brooklyn and Queens, where over 100 community residents attended."
The group used charrettes and filled out surveys to help develop three potential concepts to help decide the overall "master panning stage."
In Concept A, the restorations would leave the park similar to how it is now, however there would be an overhaul of the invasive plant species and a ramp built down to the basin floor from street level.
Concepts B and C both include everything in Concept A, however they also call for additional pedestrian networks, recreational fields and more of what is already in place at the southern portion of the park in Cypress Hills.
"Board 5 pretty much has wanted the Ridgewood Reservoir to be essentially as close to a nature preserve as possible," said Gary Giordano, district manager of CB5. "I'm hoping there will be funding to renovate the pump house and the gate house for parks department staff so we might be able to have something to serve as an environmental center there."
Both Giordano and Arcuri are also hopeful there will be funding to add Park Enforcement Patrol (PEP) officers at the park.
"We originally, way back, recommended to build a PEP center station or a precinct training center because that way it could be centrally located and take care of Forest Park and Highland Park," Arcuri explained.
As the reservoir is in a secluded part of the neighborhood, surrounded by mostly cemeteries and parkland, Giordano added that it is imperative that the city bring in additional security.
"I have been in touch with Queens borough command and with the police to say 'this reservoir has been closed for years, and going to open soon, and we need security,'" Giordano said. "Security is very important to protect the public and also the city's investment there."
While the plan would still require funding, there is another meeting in the works to further discuss the findings from the community.
"This is probably a 20 year plan," Arcuri said.

John Schmouth and Roland Deslauriers, longtime friends and a pair of dardevils, died in a plane crash Sunday, doing what they loved.
John Schmouth was a "man's man," a great-grandfather of eight and a daredevil at heart, who died doing what he loved.
That's how friends and family described the Brockton pilot who, along with his good friend Roland Deslauriers, of Bridgewater, died Sunday morning when their plane crashed shortly after taking off from Taunton Municipal Airport. Early investigation points to a problem with the aircraft's gust lock, although investigators still don't know for certain what caused the wreck, a federal investigator said Monday.
Schmouth had purchased the plane just about one month ago, and flew it each weekend since.
"He was like a kid with a new toy – all excited," said daughter, Lori Schmouth, of Brockton, who held back tears as she spoke of her father and friend on her front steps Monday.
She described her father as a quiet guy, "someone you could call for anything," and a life-long adventure-seeker.
"He was always, what do you call it, living on the edge," she said.
From motorcycles to planes, boats, scuba diving, four-wheelers, he tried it all.
"He did everything a person could do, or would want to do in his life."
And Roland "Rolly" Deslauriers was at his side for much of it, said friends.
Deslauriers had an open cockpit plane he would do aerobatics in and for one week in the late '80s, the pair took it down to Florida and had "a hell of a time," Bob Gallagher, of Marshfield, said Monday.
"That's how they were. They got into something, they did it wholehearted," said Gallagher, who was dumbfounded Monday as to how the crash could have happened.
"It can't be pilot error, there's too much air time between them," he said.
As Schmouth's loved ones wait for answers about what led to the fiery crash, they have one simple consolation: he died doing what he loved.
"If you're going to go in this world… you might as well go doing something that you love," said Lori Schmouth, quoting her stepmother.
Schmouth and Deslauriers had planned Sunday morning to practice a few take-offs and landings in the new plane, then take it to Martha's Vineyard for lunch, said Gallagher, 69.
"He was like a kid in a candy store with that plane," Gallagher said. "He couldn't wait to get up there."
At 69, Schmouth still worked as a tractor-trailer driver, as he had for years, at T.L. Edwards, a company based in Avon where Schmouth was born.
On Sept. 14, he would have turned 70. His family was in the midst of planning a celebration. Nothing fancy, – "no frills," his daughter said – just a simple cookout by the pool, as they often did on weekends. This time, it was going to be catered.
A paratrooper in the Army as a young man, Schmouth later bought himself an ultralight, then a gyrocopter, then in the late '80s, a Cessna, which he took on countless trips with both Deslauriers and Gallagher, Gallagher said.
"He was heartbroken when he sold that plane," added Gallagher.
About 15 years ago, Schmouth let the plane go so his stepdaughter could go to college, Gallagher said.
"This is the type of guy he was. He'd give up anything for you," Gallagher said. "I know I'm going to miss him terribly."
