Bartell Drugs is once again partnering with the Salvation Army to provide holiday gifts for children in need by collecting new, unwrapped toys during its 9th annual Salvation Army "Toy 'N' Joy" drive, November 11 - December 14.
The toy donations will be accepted at all 58 Bartell Drugs locations in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Toys will be distributed to low-income children and youth the week before Christmas through the Salvation Army's "toy warehouses."
The five-week drive in 2011 generated over 5,200 toy donations by Bartell's customers—the estimated equivalent of $78,637 in toys to the Salvation Army.
Donation options include:
- Choose a "gift request tag" from the "Toy 'N' Joy" display in the store and return the gift to the donation barrel with the tag affixed to it.
- Donate new, unwrapped gifts appropriate for children up to 14 years-of-age.

From the New Rochelle Humane Society:
Nunu is a gorgeous chocolate brown American Pit Bull Terrier. She is a perfect ambassador for her breed. NuNu is very friendly to both people and other dogs
We have discovered that she loves to fetch tennis balls and especially loves to fetch the ones her human friends throw into one of our kiddie pools.
She rushes after the ball, jumps in the water—big splash!—and brings the ball right back for another round.
You can meet Nunu today! We are open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.!
Nunu even has a blog written about her by one of our volunteers: http://mccutche9272.c3.cmdwebsites.com/blog/?p=3358.
Contact the New Rochelle Humane Society for more information. They are located at 70 Portman Rd. in New Rochelle. Their phone number is 914-632-2925.

Short-Sleeved Microfiber Shirt 74 74
Liked the old fabric better I'm going to keep this shirt but it is much heavier than the former microfiber shirt, especially with the hidden pockets. I like the idea but perhaps they could be smaller. The new fabric does not wash and hang dry as quickly or without wrinkles. July 18, 2014
Too large I loved the two shirts I ordered in a Petite Small but I needed to send them back since they were too large! The shoulders hung, it was too large in the bust and much too long for me. PLEASE, TravelSmith, get these shirts in a Petite Extra Small size!!! July 14, 2014
new is not always good I have some of the old, "discontinued", fabric and they are lightweight and soft. The new fabric is heavy and not what I would expect aTravel Smith expedition shirt to be. Please return to the old fabric. June 30, 2014
I have more than a dozen big shirts, long sleeve and short. The latest incarnation is very disappointing. The fabric is rough, not smooth as in the past, Wrinkles more. Runs small, therefore same size as in the past is difficult to get on. Front of shirts wants to stay bent backwards rather than as a normal shirt. Won't buy any more shirts with this fabric. June 27, 2014
Change in cut I LOVE the microfiber shirts, have several and have worn and traveled with them for several years. I recently ordered the polka dot shirt and it will have to be returned. It is either cut from a different pattern or completely messed up. Does not fit thru the hips like my other shirtsleeve microfiber shirts do, rides up in the back and very uncomfortable. Surprised this one does not fit, labeled same size as my other shirts. June 12, 2014
Perfect The fit and style of this shirt is perfect. Easy for travel. Can be washed in sink and hung up to dry, comes out great. June 9, 2014
Runs Large The material is not at all comfortable. Rather rough feeling~ June 6, 2014
An excellent shirt, great fabric...the large petite runs small. I ordered a large petite in the long sleeved shirt and it fit well, but the ss shirt is too small in the large petite. Returned for xl petite. June 3, 2014

Paul Roderick Gregory, Contributor
I cover domestic and world economics from a free-market perspective
Pew Research finds that sixty percent of Americans respond negatively to "socialism." It is clear why President Barack Obama must avoid that label. Words are important. Political candidates who control the language of political discourse win elections.
Most of our elites would certainly not entertain the question: "Is Obama a socialist?" Only irresponsible fanatics carelessly throw around such epithets, they say. Polite circles ignore such goofiness.
As someone who has professionally studied and written about comparative economics, capitalism, and socialism for almost fifty years, the reticence to probe the core beliefs of a political leader seems odd. The question is perfectly legitimate in both an academic and political context as long as we define terms and place the discussion in proper context.
By "socialist," I do not mean a Lenin, Castro, or Mao, but whether Obama falls within the mainstream of contemporary socialism as represented, for example, by Germany's Social Democrats, French Socialists, or Spain's socialist-workers party?
By this criterion, yes, Obama is a socialist.
The socialist parties of Europe trace their origins to reform Marxism. After Marx's death in 1883, Europe's Marxists rejected the Bolsheviks' call for socialist revolution and worked within the political system for Marxist goals. Marxists, such as Karl Leibknecht, August Bebel, Paul Lafargue, Leon Blum, and others, formed the socialist parties that we know today. Most emerged from the trade-union movement, and they retain close ties with organized labor today, as does Obama's Democrat Party.
Whereas, the eighteenth century liberalism of John Locke and Adam Smith gave us our constitution and limited government, Marxism provided the intellectual foundations of the European welfare state.
The European socialists have their welfare state. Even their conservative opponents no longer question the "social state," despite rising concern about its affordability. In the United States, we are fighting the battle of the welfare state, and we do not know what the outcome will be.
The European welfare state takes one half of national output to provide state health care, pensions, extended unemployment benefits, income grants, and free higher education. Failed nationalizations taught European socialists to leave enterprise in private hands and coerce it through taxation and regulation to contribute to what the state deems the "social welfare."
The November 2011 Declaration of Principles of the Party of European Socialists (PES) summarizes the European socialist agenda. I condense its main points and compare them with Obama's statements and legislative initiatives:
PES: The welfare state and state-provided universal access to education and health care are society's great achievements.
Obama: Favors universal access to health care and associated benefits as a critical expansion of the welfare state.
Jon D Man 2
"Obama or America. You choose. I want my life back, I want America."
You rightists always make me laugh. Bush spent over eight years destroying the economy and not a peep from the Right. Obama gets elected and we've had to endure four years of "Obama is a Muslim, Obama is a Socialist, Obama is destroying the economy, Obama is destroying health care, Obama is undoing Bill Clinton's welfare reforms, Obama the Kenyan…
So, what EXACTLY is CAPITALISM? No government AT ALL?
Good lord…you might as well say, "Socialists consider themselves bilaterally symmetrical mammals with binocular vision, ten fingers, and ten toes. So does our president!"
Socialism involves the social ownership and management of the economy and the means of production.
Why am I telling you this? This is junior high level social studies. You're engaging in ridiculous intellectual dishonesty that is beneath you.
davidelosangelos, At the end so said Bush bailed out Wall Street and the auto industry and left millions of American who were losing their jobs. Who do you think employed millions of American who were losing their jobs?? Large corporations (GM, Wallstreet companies, etc.) We saved millions of jobs with the bailout for American workers. You must be stupid or something.
"The point of my piece was to use the socialists' own definition of themselves to determine whether Obama is a socialist." Then you failed miserably and cannot even understand that Socialism is not a political system, like Communism but an economic system. Forbes needs to find contributers who at least know what they are talking about and who don't display the extreme cognitive dissonance and sheer ignorance that you do.
Well, in that case you failed. Miserably. As a socialist, I, nor any of my peers have ever described themselves that way. Again, you conflate "socialist" with "social democrat". Socialism is the common ownership of the means of production. You claim to have done a lot of research into socialism, but I sincerely doubt this. Do you even know who Mikhail Bakunin is? I really should give you a reading list.
*sigh* National Socialism is a misnomer. They never were, nor ever claimed to be socialist. You also seem to conveniently ignore the "nationalist" part. They merely called themselves National Socialism as a sneaky way to appeal to both the left and the right. They wanted to appeal to the right through the use of the world "nationalist", and the left through their appropriation of the word "socialist". They appropriated the word much like they appropriated the swastika and the writings of Nietzsche. Even basic research can prove this.
You also don't understand the socialist definition of "private property". It doesn't mean your bloody CD collection. It means private ownership of the means of production – Things that can produce capital, basically – Factories, industrial machines etc.
Wrong. I'm a socialist (an anarcho-syndicalist, to be exact) – and I believe, to paraphrase the brillian Pierre-Joseph Proudhon that private property is theft.
Mr Gregory, We ARE in trouble! There is no way Obama could have been elected if this were not the case, other than fraud! My husband keeps insisting he still would have won had there not been fraud, but I am not convinced.
We live in a mixed economy (private ownership as well as central planning by the government). We waved bye-bye to true capitalism a long time ago. We have both free enterprise and some of the aspects of socialism. But since the rich and powerful have the most access to government, guess what happens whenever policy is made regardless of intentions…Call it whatever you want, but Bush and Obama are both statists. Some of us would rather not continue to head down that road.

The event takes place on April 28.

NEW ALBANY — Whoever coined the phrase, "There are three things that matter in property: location, location, location," must have heard about the success of the Scribner brothers.
After its founding in 1813, New Albany experienced a big population boom due, in part, to its placement along the Ohio River. The foresight and strategic city planning of Joel, Abner and Nathaniel Scribner didn't hurt either. By 1850, the growing hamlet was the largest city in all of Indiana.
"The Scribner brothers, they just weren't settling a little Podunk town at the crossroads. They felt this place was going to be big," said Floyd County Historian David Barksdale.
Even back in the day, the brothers knew how to pick a piece of property. Choosing the land directly below the treacherous falls helped to attract business owners who yearned for an easy trade route to the South. The men even constructed wide roads and set aside plots of lands for specific community minded developments. Driving on downtown New Albany streets today, you can see firsthand the brothers' original designs still at work.
Between the advertising, well-planned layout and nice location, settlers began to flock to New Albany. Industries began to grow, especially ship building. Steamboats ruled the great Ohio during this time and our up-and-coming Southern Indiana city was considered one of their major manufacturing hubs due to the ready supply of local wood.
But ship building wasn't an industry to itself. Manufacturers needed to buy boilers, china plates, cabinets and other amenities to equip the steamboats. So foundries, lumber yards and other ancillary businesses began to pop up around the city to support the building of those big ships.
"New Albany took off," Barksdale said. "New Albany was never bigger than Louisville, but New Albany was definitely a rival to Louisville. And there was some really, I think, fierce competition between the communities."
As industries flourished, so did quite a few of the residents' bank accounts. According to a 1938 book by Harold Miller entitled "Industrial Development of New Albany, Indiana," more than half of all Hoosiers making $100,000 or more lived in New Albany prior to the Civil War. Some of their homes on Main Street still stand as a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time.

— I am the language police officer, and I am here to help.
This does not mean I'm the thought police officer - you can think whatever you want. In fact, this is not about expressing whatever opinion you want. I'm not going to call for boycotts of any product because its executives express a view for or against affirmative action, Medicare, gay marriage, or pretty much anything else.
This is not even directly about attack ads, civility, or incivility. You will read and hear endlessly from self-appointed "truth squads" or "fact checkers" about whether an ad is accurate, in or out of context, unfair, or effective.
This is about clarity. This is a clarion call (which surely will be ignored on all sides) to speak clearly, instead of saying nothing while pretending you're saying something. This is a call to get rid of filler, distractions, repetition, and absurdity in what passes for political rhetoric.
If these phrases were banned until Nov. 6, it wouldn't make that rhetoric perfect, but it would help. Here are the highlights of my list. You probably have your own contributions. Send them to me, and I'll include them in a later post from the political wilderness:
- Let me be clear - There is no need for a politician to ask for permission to be clear. We, the people, are begging for them to be clear. In fact, when politicians say that, they are usually setting us up for more obfuscation - some gauzy, feel-good promise. What they really mean is, "Let me be vague."
- Not uncommon/Not unusual - Perhaps people think this makes them sound more erudite, but it does the opposite. It is a double negative in search of a positive. It just clogs everything up. I'll demonstrate: I'm sitting on my not unblack chair, wearing my not unkhaki pants and my not unwhite shirt, in front of my not unbrown desk writing on my not unsilver laptop.
- Won't be painless - Pretty much the same concept as not uncommon. What is with the apparently irresistible desire to put a negative in front of everything? Why not just say, "I'm taking a long trip," instead of, "I'm taking a trip that won't be short"? Imagine Winston Churchill inspiring a generation with, "I have nothing to offer but a journey that won't be bloodless, won't be free of toil, will not be free of tears, and won't be sweatless." Most of us would have turned off the radio before he got halfway through that mush.
- Patriotic millionaires - I'm calling for a ban on labeling people from any income group patriotic. Because, as most of you know, this is a code phrase. It has nothing to do with love of country. In this case, "patriotic" millionaires are those who support the Obama administration's push to raise taxes on any individual making more than one-fifth of a million.
This is ironic, because this is the party that, when it was out of power, would huffily forbid anyone from "questioning our patriotism" if they opposed a Bush administration initiative, and insisted that "dissent is the highest form of patriotism."
Patriotism doesn't mean agreement with either party. Leave it alone.
- Going forward - As if we had a choice? Yes, I know that the latest Obama re-election slogan is "Forward," and the mantra is that we have to stop Republicans from taking us "backward" to the George W. Bush years. But then, why do they keep dragging Bill Clinton onto TV to shill for Obama and talking about that golden era? That would also be going backward. An army can retreat, but time moves only one way - forward. It's not a choice.
- On the ground - As in, "conditions on the ground," "boots on the ground," and so forth. If you want to say there are soldiers in Afghanistan, just say so. Their boots are incidental. If you want to say conditions in New Orleans are wet, just say so. We know you're talking about buildings and people who are on the ground. It's like sports announcers, when they are covering a football game, endlessly talking about "protecting the football," "moving the football," as if we need to be reminded that it is not a golf ball or a baseball.
- Less fortunate - Another unnecessary negative prefix. Just say poor, sick, elders, disabled - whatever. It is ironic that Democrats constantly use this phrase to talk about people who should be receiving more government help. Calling somebody "less fortunate" means they are still fortunate - just less so than somebody else. Why should anybody who is fortunate deserve help?
- You know what?/Well, guess what? - Another trite, trivial, meaningless, utterly unnecessary filler phrase. The speaker doesn't wait for anybody to hazard a guess. He's just taking more time to say what he just ought to go ahead and say without a lame prefix.
- At the end of the day - Whaaat? The end of what day? It is not even a good replacement for, "when all is said and done," which is equally lame.
- Any way, shape or form - This just crams less information into more time. I'm going to walk, stroll, or saunter down the street or road to talk, converse, or rant to my local public servant or official.
Give it a rest. Give them all a rest.

Subaru Legacy Steering Issues
I bought a brand new 07 Legacy 2.5i sedan at the end of 2006. At 1500 miles the steering was problematic, took it in to the dealer, and by the time they were done, they replaced the entire power steering system. They said the problem was with the power steering rack, which they replaced. I asked if this new part was from the same supplier, so could also be defective, and apparently it is. I am rather alarmed, this is the 1st brand new car I have purchased in 20+ years. Has anyone had similar problems? - Merrie
That problem sounds a bit unusual. I think I've heard of only one other steering rack issue and I've followed all the Subaru threads for 9 years now.
Let the dealer fix it, call 800-SUBARU3 if you need help from SoA. I'm sure they'll sort it out and this will become a distant memory.
Okay, so maybe I am a little confused here. The responses look as though the assumption is made that the steering problems are ongoing - as in the "complete system replacement" did not work. I do not read that from the text - I read that you have concerns about whether the problem will recur, since the replacement equipment is the same as that replaced.
If it is working properly, I expect, as do Mike and juice, that this same problem is highly unlikely to recur. Steering problems, in general, are not common, but there are always bound to be one or two bad products to come off every production line. I think you just were unlucky.
Thanks for all the comments. Other than an odor from the front end that smells like burning plastic - which seems to be going away now after a couple hundred miles of driving - probably has something to do with the new rack installation - the cars is running fine. I am hoping it was just a fluke. I am really glad to have the Subaru back after driving Sebring rental cars and will hope for the best. I have quite a few miles left on the warranty and, if worse comes to worse, the lemon law window. -merrie
rharpin Posts: 2my power steering recently became very stiff. In retrospect, about a month ago I mistakenly added a little power steering fluid (instead of ATF fluid) to the reservoir. So yesterday I flushed two volumes of ATF through it. still is stiff. Have I ruined both pump and rack? Should I start by replacing pump and see what happens?
Ok I have a 1995 subaru legacy and whenever I go to make a turn... the car studders. Like the wheels are gripping the road really hard. When I go to turn the wheel it does a stop, go, stop, go, stop fast motion. On some days it's worse than others. Feels like the noise is coming from the rear of the car but I can feel it in my steering wheel. A while back I looked into fixing it and found that it may be the differential box or something like that. any info would help me out alot. I have taken it to a few people and all I got out of that is a whole new rear end replacement and it still has the same problem.
ok I put the 15a fuse in the fwd slot under the hood and the problem went away. No more shudder or vibration. I live in ga and most of the roads are flat and I have 200,000+ miles on the car. Will this eventually case a problem with me having the fuse in there to make it front wheel drive instead of AWD?
kevind2 Posts: 1I had the same problem with a 2007 Legacy station wagon. Steering gradually became stiffer and stiffer, basically no power steering at 5,700 miles. The dealer said it was the steering racket and replaced the entire power steering system. I never experienced a problem like this in 38 years of driving all types, makes of vehicles. Other than that the car is great. I wonder how many other new Legacy owners have experienced this problem. Does anyone know of a way to find this out? Thanks.
malarkeyman Posts: 1Hello, I saw your post and I am having the exact problem with my 1996 Subaru Legacy GT wagon (2.5 Litre). I just replaced the head gaskets and this is the only remaining problem: When I insert the fuse, the problem goes away. This led me to think it was the rear differential or driveshaft, but I jacked the car up and moved the drive shaft by hand and had someone help by turning the rear wheels and everything in the rear seemed fine.
What some people are calling a center differential, the tech manual calls a transfer clutch. (I have a tech manual covering the transmission). I am thinking this is the problem. It can not be the front differential as the problem would not go away by installing the fuse.
Do you have any additional information? Do you want me to keep you in the loop regarding what I learn?
Let me know
mariagaharris Posts: 1I started having this problem 6 months ago. The wheel makes this quicks stop and go's while steering and doesn't return to neutral by itself. A mechanic changed two steering pumps (used) and is a little better but still stiff. No steering fluid leak. Now I moved to New Jersey and brought my Subaru on tow. I took it to have brakes and oil change done and complained about the steering to the mechanics. They swore there's nothing wrong with it...but steering still needs a lot of attention while driving! I need some who can give me some answer! I live in NJ very close to New Brunswick (I'm in Milltown).
I've seen bad steering rack bushings cause you not to get the re-centering. We do a lot of work on subarus at my shop in Kenilworth, NJ (Exit 138 on the GSP) and have fixed a few with new steering rack bushings and/or tie-rods. Kind of thing you need to check out. If you look up on Edmunds Shops in Kenilworth, NJ under Local Services at the top of the page our info is there under AZP Installs.

steveh7 Posts: 1My 99 legacy outback steering wheel is hard to turn and doesn't return to straight on its own. What do you think it is based on what you learned? Heres everything I checked: Tire size and air pressure. No binding from ball joints or other components. PS pump output pressure 1000 psi, fluid full, no leaks and all belts tight. Could it be the rack?

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Nicole Cring made it look easy Monday, but that doesn't mean she wasn't feeling the pressure.
"When they loaded the bases with no outs, I was pretty nervous," said Cring, Cooperstown's senior right-hander who improved to 19-0 with a 3-0 home win over Pulaski in a Section Three Class C-1 semifinal. "Honestly, I haven't calmed down yet. My heart is still beating really fast."
Clinging to a 2-0 lead in the top of the sixth inning, Cooperstown let the Blue Devils load the bases. Libby Greene led off with a pop up that third baseman Lexi Duda lost in the wind for an error. Hannah Potter then singled to right field, sending Greene to third. Potter stole second before Cring walked Rochelle Atkinson to load the bases.
But 12 pitches later, Cring was out of the inning.
First she got Sammie Jones to ground out on a comebacker to the circle. Then she struck out Liz Monnat on four pitches and Simi Minnick on six.
"Getting out of bases loaded with no outs, that was huge," Cooperstown coach Dave Bliss said.
For good measure, Cring gave herself an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth.
She led off with a single that went to the right of second baseman Jones. The ball then got past Potter in center field and Cring made it to third on the error. She scored on Ellen Vibbard's single to right field — the only RBI of the game.
Cooperstown scored its other two runs in the third on two errors by Pulaski shortstop Miranda Edick.
Christina Noto reached on a grounder that Edick knocked down but couldn't pick up. After Alannah Haggerty advanced Noto to second on a fielder's choice, Maggie Hall singled to center. Noto went to third and Hall took second uncontested. Duda then hit a grounder that went between Edick's legs to score both runners.
Cring struck out 10 and walked four in a two-hitter, but Pulaski kept the pressure on her with keen eyes and several foul balls that raised her pitch count.
Cring threw 30 pitches in the first inning alone. By comparison, it took Greene three innings to hit 30 pitches for Pulaski (11-8).
Cring, who broke her single-season program record for strikeouts, got out of a jam in the first inning.
After striking out the first two batters, she walked Potter and Atkinson. Potter stole second and took third on a wild pitch. Pinch-runner Cassie Horridge also stole second.
Jones then hit a sharp ball to second and almost beat it out, but a quick throw by Cooperstown second baseman Jen Flynn ended the threat.
"She went deep in the hole to end that inning," Bliss said of Flynn, who accounted for eight outs, including a game-ending double play where she caught a line drive by Kate Geer and then threw to Noto at first to double off Ashley Monroe.
"She had a great game for us," Cring said. "She really made some big plays."
Hall went 3-for-3 and Erin Hascup went 2-for-3 for Cooperstown (20-0), which played third-seeded Herkimer (19-3) for the C-1 championship in Rome last night after deadline. Herkimer advanced with a 4-3 semifinal victory over Little Falls on Monday.
The C-1 winner will play the C-2 champion, Weedsport or Sandy Creek, for the overall Section Three title at 2 p.m. Saturday at Le Moyne College.
Cooperstown 3, Pulaski 0
Section Three Class C1 semifinals
Pulaski 000 000 0 _ 0 2 3
Cooperstown 002 001 x _ 3 7 2
Libby Greene (L) and Rochelle Atkinson. Nicole Cring (W,19-0) and Erin Hascup.

Lady Gaga must be in dire need of an attention fix these days. Or perhaps riding around in cocoons and wearing outfits made of jumbo shrimp simply don't pack the same kind shock value they used to. In a recent interview, the Poker Face One revealed a detail from her past that's sure to shock the world. When the Judas singer was just anonymous little brunette Stefani Germanotta, she used to listen to her parents having sex. Not just once or once in a while, or even occasionally by accident--but all the time. Night after night. You get the picture.
Yes, according to Lady Gaga, she spent most of her formative years "listening to her mum and dad have sex because their Upper West Side apartment didn't have any doors." None. And she could hear everything they did in their bedroom, and vice versa.
"My parents' room and the one I shared with my sister were on the top floor. There are no doors on the bedrooms. My parents could hear everything me and my sister said growing up. And I heard them too!"
Interestingly, La Germanotta offered no explanation about why there were no doors on any of the rooms in her parents' place. Perhaps she never asked, and they never offered to inform her. All she'll say is that she "inherited her wild streak from her father Joe, who once hired a stripper" as her piano teacher and who used to spend his spare time "having sex with girls under the boardwalk in New Jersey before he went to see Bruce Springsteen." Gaga seems to believe that her less than conventional childhood has not only molded her into whatever she thinks she is, it has also caused her to shy away from what she calls "domestication."
"I love being with my parents," Lady Gaga explained, "but I also really fear domestication. I just don't have a home. I stay between my friends' places and my parents'."
So there you have it. And you probably thought an artiste extraordinaire like Lady Gaga spent her entire existence just teetering on the edge of glory. Poor friends. Poor parents.

When Rex Ryan left the Baltimore Ravens to become head coach of the New York Jets in 2009 and Mike Pettine came along as defensive coordinator, a significant part of their master plan was to sign former Raven defenders who could communicate the system to their new teammates.
The top two targets were linebacker Bart Scott and safety Jim Leonhard, who speak the same language Ryan and Pettine do. Scott and Leonhard made the on-field calls and explained the adjustments.
The Jets' defense thrived right away.
A similar transition could be in the works for the Buffalo Bills. A few weeks after hiring Pettine to be their defensive coordinator, the Bills today released linebacker Nick Barnett and safety George Wilson.
Those roster spots could be filled by Jets to effectively translate Pettine's system for the holdover Bills. The Jets reportedly will release Scott and also could cut safety Eric Smith to create salary-cap space.
Another Jets safety, LaRon Landry, is an unrestricted free agent. So is Jim Leonhard, who most recently played for the Denver Broncos and made a free-agent visit to the Bills last year.
"One of the hardest things when you get in a new system is to first to learn the system, but the second part is the language and the communication," Scott said shortly after signing with the Jets in 2009.
"I think it helps because they can listen to us make the checks and then they can start to get the gist of it and be able to make the checks themselves. That allows us to practice faster, which allows us to get a faster chemistry, which allows us to take the product on the field and make it as best we can before the start of the season."
The Jets went to the AFC Championship Game in each of the first two seasons under Ryan. They ranked first in total defense in 2009 and sixth in 2010.
Ryan and Pettine also added former Ravens defensive end Marques Douglas and defensive tackle Howard Green in lesser roles.
"They've all done a tremendous job of spreading that knowledge and getting those guys to understand the system, the subtleties and nuances of it," Pettine said during his first Jets season.
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick also commented about the impact Scott and Leonhard made in helping the Jets transition from Eric Mangini's defense to Ryan's.
"A lot of times it's important for the player to understand how and why a certain defense or certain adjustments apply," Belichick said in September 2009. "You have it to solve a certain problem, and if you don't get that problem, it isn't really that good of an adjustment. But against a particular thing it's what you want to do. So not just understanding what the calls are or what the adjustments are, but when to apply, when to use them, when you want to use them, when you don't want to use them, that kind of thing.
"Experience like that is valuable, and all that happens out on the field. There's only so much you can call from the sideline when you have players out there that can run, with [Bart] Scott there at the front seven level and [Jim] Leonhard in the secondary. I'm sure those guys help that process."

Deisy Pentón de Cabrera kept meticulous notes on hundreds of voters, several political campaigns between 2008 and 2012 and what appear to be payments of $50 to $1,300 that are not on any candidate's financial reports.
Detectives confiscated three notebooks in which she wrote this and other information last summer. Finally, nine months after her arrest for alleged ballot fraud in Hialeah, the notebooks have been presented as evidence in the case.
Cabrera, 57, wrote in a shaky hand and used abbreviations that are difficult to decipher. But her notes shed some light on the busy workload of this accused ballot broker, or boletera:
• She had access to more than 550 voters, the vast majority elderly Hispanics who live in Hialeah. The people whose names, address, phone numbers and dates of birth she tracked on lists titled "Deisy's Voters" include some who have Alzheimer's and others who are illiterate. Next to some names, Cabrera noted whether they were blind or deaf.
• She registered what appear to be payments for a total of more than $9,000 from seven judicial candidates in 2008.
The financial reports for three of these candidates show that Cabrera was a hired campaign worker, but the payment amounts are half of what Cabrera wrote in her own notes.
• Cabrera didn't work alone, but was a part of a political apparatus with access to updated absentee voter information from Miami-Dade County's Election Department. She kept directives written by others to visit particular groups of voters or to take others to early-voting polling places.
She also kept contact information for the campaigns for which she worked, including those of former U.S. Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart and state Sen. Rene García.
Her work began months before Election Day, when she'd help voters fill out requests for absentee ballots. The ballot request forms in her notebook include some filled out by her own hand and others that had been pre-printed with the voter information. They're dated in April 2011 — seven months before Hialeah's municipal elections.
Through her attorney, Cabrera declined to respond to a letter with questions about the notebooks that was left on her door by El Nuevo Herald reporters last week.
"My client will never speak with you or to any other reporters," said attorney Eric Castillo. "Any questions you have should be directed to me and the answer will always be that there is no comment."
El Nuevo Herald obtained redacted copies of the notebooks earlier this month from the Broward state attorney's office, which is handling the case.
Authorities charged Cabrera with one felony count of ballot fraud and two misdemeanor counts for allegedly violating a county ordinance that prohibits the collection of absentee ballots. She has entered a not guilty plea.
Friends and acquaintances describe Cabrera as a "poor soul" who lives in a Section 8 apartment and has health problems.
"I always knew her as a lady with poor health who was always helping people," said Ana Carbonell, the longtime political advisor to Diaz-Balart. "It was heart-wrenching to learn she'd been arrested. I never knew her as a hustler."
Despite her illness, Cabrera kept working.
She updated her lists of voters with each visit and noted when they had changed address or died. Dozens of voters have told El Nuevo Herald that Cabrera visited them year after year to help them fill out their absentee ballots, although many didn't know how they ultimately voted.
In her notebooks, Cabrera jotted down when voters had received absentee ballots by mail or if they preferred to vote at the polls. She also documented when others had already picked up the ballots.
For example, alongside one voter's information, Cabrera wrote in Spanish: "Mama Rene García Recog (sic)". The Spanish verb "recoger" means to pick up.
René García said that neither he or his mother would comment on the notebooks.
Three lines later, Cabrera noted another voter's information and the words: "Tio Sergio Robaina Recog (sic)".
It's a reference to Sergio "el Tio" Robaina, uncle of Hialeah's former mayor Julio Robaina. When asked about that particular voter, Sergio Robaina told El Nuevo Herald he had collected her ballots in the past. But he assured that he has never tampered with a ballot or gotten paid to collect them.
"I haven't done anything wrong," said Robaina, who was arrested on ballot fraud charges eight days after Cabrera's own Aug. 2 arrest.
Detectives from Miami-Dade Police Department's Public Corruption Unit first questioned Cabrera on July 25 and found dozens of ballots in her possession. Police had been tipped off to Cabrera's activities by a private detective, Joe Carrillo.
Her arrest didn't come for another week, when El Nuevo Herald reported that one of the absentee ballots confiscated by police belonged to 81-year-old Zulema Gomez, who was terminally ill from a brain tumor. Her sister said Gomez was unresponsive and could not have filled out her own ballot.
The arrest tainted the campaigns of two of Miami-Dade County's most important politicians: State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle and Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
Cabrera was a frequent visitor to Gimenez's Hialeah campaign office. Gimenez and Fernandez Rundle shared a campaign consultant, Quantum Results Inc.
Fernández Rundle recused her office from the case immediately after the arrest, saying that somebody who worked for her own campaign had been seen with Cabrera. Many have speculated it was a reference to a Quantum subcontractor, Jerry Ramos, who has a criminal record for postal fraud.
Cabrera's notebooks include a mention of "Yery Ramos" and his cellphone number. Ramos declined to comment for this story.
But Al Lorenzo, who owns Quantum, wasn't surprised that Cabrera had Ramos' contact information. He explained that Quantum has advised other campaigns for which Cabrera has also worked, including Rudy Garcia's failed bid for Hialeah mayor in 2011.
Like Carbonell, Lorenzo said that he knew Cabrera as a political activist and not as a boletera. He also said that though Cabrera was often sighted at the Gimenez campaign office, she was not a paid campaign worker.
"She went there because we had free food and maybe because she hoped we'd hire her," Lorenzo said. "At that time she was already working for other people who supported Carlos [Gimenez] or she was working for other campaigns. Besides, there were other offices of politicians in that same building."
The building houses a district office for René García, and in 2011 was the campaign headquarters for Hialeah Councilwoman Vivian Casals-Muñoz.
In the notebooks, Cabrera had kept the business cards of County Commissioner Esteban Bovo and his former assistant, Anamary Pedrosa. The same night Cabrera was initially questioned by authorities, Pedrosa happened to drop off a bundle of 164 absentee ballots in a post office box.
Cabrera also kept the contact information of other influential figures in Hialeah, including Bovo's wife, Viviana, who works for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio's campaign office.
"Thousands of people must have my wife's cellular number for multiple reasons," Bovo said. "She has been a public employee for years."
In her notebooks, Cabrera wrote what appear to be lists of expenses next to names of restaurants and supermarkets. On an entry dated June 19, 2012, she noted the amount of $96.53 for "Deisy Cabrera."
On another list, the name "Vivian" appears next to the amount of $50.
Casals-Muñoz did not respond to several messages from El Nuevo Herald.
Hours after authorities first questioned Cabrera last July, three people visited her West Hialeah apartment. One was Casals-Muñoz. Another was Jorge González, a Hialeah businessman who has said they brought her a steak sandwich.
It has never been clear who was the third person — described as a tall, thin man, according to a private detective hired by Carrillo who was watching the apartment that night.
When asked if he had gone to Cabrera's apartment that night, René García said he could not remember.
"I'm her friend and I've had dinner at her house on several occasions," he said. "But since this all happened, it saddens me to say, but I have distanced a little from her. I don't remember if I was there that night."

I grew up in a home that offered water, milk, juice or tea to drink and on special occasion's soft drinks. Fortunately for me, I never took up the soft drink habit and I drink about 80-100 ounces of water every day. I say fortunately, because of several reasons 1) water is free unless you buy bottled, 2) water is calorie-free and 3) there are great benefits to drinking water.
So, what exactly is the function of water? It transports nutrients and oxygen in the body; helps medications work properly; keeps the skin and mouth moist; helps prevent constipation and regulates body temperature. Hydration is vital in sustaining good health and life in general. Think about it for a minute; a person can survive about three minutes without air, three days without water and three weeks without food. All of that, of course, depends on a person's age, size and physical condition. Water is the most abundant substance in the human body and on Earth and like oxygen, you can't live without water.
Body organs of all types contain water, including muscle (about 73%), blood (about 83%), body fat (25%), and even bones contain some water. Did you know that one of the major contributors to heat-related illness is dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't get enough water in your body for your body to carry out normal functions? Did you know that on average about 60% of your weight is water and every system in your body depends on water? Every day you lose water through sweat, breathing, urine and bowel movements (typically 9 cups each day for women and 13 cups for men).
So how much is enough? The experts say to let your thirst be your guide and you should drink about 48-64 ounces of water, other beverages or even eat foods high in water every day. Alcohol does not count towards water consumption due to its dehydrating effects. Try to choose decaffeinated beverages over caffeinated ones. Replenish water throughout the day; especially during hot, humid weather or strenuous activity when fluid loss may be higher and your fluid intake should be increased. Did you know that 80% of the water in your diet can be consumed through beverages, with an additional 20% through foods like fruits and vegetables?
Milk and juice are excellent choices because they supply essential nutrients such as: calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, and protein. Be aware of added calories when choosing whole milk or juice beverages with added sugars. Water is adequate for fluid replacement when exercising less than 90 minutes. If activities last longer, sports drinks may be a better source of fluid replacement. Sports drinks provide fuel in the form carbohydrates for muscle, and the sodium and glucose help the body absorb fluid better. Try choosing decaffeinated beverages. Caffeine has a mild stimulant that affects the nervous system and can have a diuretic effect; enjoy caffeinated drinks in moderation. Diet soft drinks are about 99% water, and regular soft drinks are about 90% water. Regular soft drinks also have a high sugar content (12-ounce drink has about 10-12 teaspoons of sugar). Diet drinks are sweetened with artificial sweeteners and are essentially calorie free. All caffeinated drinks should be enjoyed in moderation. Fruits and vegetables and other moist foods contain water to help us stay hydrated. For example, watermelon is about 90% water; apples are 84%; and broccoli and carrots are about 90%.
Groups that are susceptible to dehydration are older adults, infants and children, athletes, and those with chronic illness. With age, the ability to sense thirst is diminished, which is why older adults need to drink fluids frequently, even if they don't feel thirsty. Additional reasons older adults may not drink enough fluids include difficulty walking to get fluids, trouble swallowing, may not be able to communicate thirst to a caregiver, or may fear incontinence. Children often get so involved in playing that they don't realize they're thirsty. Athletes become dehydrated because of perspiration, or they aren't able to stop for fluids and are especially vulnerable during hot days.
• Signs of dehydration include:
• Thirst, dry mouth, flushed;
• Fatigue;
• Headache;
• High body temperature;
• Increased breathing rate, rapid pulse;
• Dark yellow urine;
• Skin that stays in the same pinched position.
Results of dehydration include:
• Increased urinary tract infections,
• Increased risk of kidney stones,
• Hospitalization,
• Confusion,
• Convulsions,
• Cardiac arrest,
• Death.
Increasing your daily water consumption can curb your appetite, aid in muscle development, and optimize metabolism. All great reasons to make water a BIG part of your daily routine and your journey to get FIT. While many people complain of not enjoying the taste of water, it can be overcome by a few weeks of perseverance. As you continue to drink adequate amounts of water, your body will begin to crave water when you haven't met your daily quota. Additionally, the frequent need to urinate after water consumption is most severe at the start of increased water intake because your body is flushing out stored water from your body tissues. As you continue to drink water throughout the day, your urinary system will regulate and normalize. In conclusion, maintaining proper hydration is very important to optimal health. I challenge you to join me in becoming a water junkie!

The Daily Star
---- — For all of my readers who indicated your appreciation for the first article on aging superheroes, this continued saga is just for you.
We take for granted that the people who we grew up with remain ageless and yet our comic superheroes age just like we do. Picture our superhero Wonder Woman as she aged.
As her alternate ego Diana Palmer wore eyeglasses that she didn't need, so too Wonder Woman didn't need glasses either. However there came a time when Wonder Woman noticed that she kept getting into the wrong invisible airplane. (How did she know this if it was invisible to start with?)
She went to see her eye doctor, who asked her to read the bottom line on the eye chart and she replied, "What eye chart?" She was eligible for full coverage under ObamaCare and soon she was sporting a brand new pair of inch-thick lenses with a frame that cost more than my first tractor.
She left the doctor's office but found that she had misplaced her invisible plane again. "Darn," she thought (actually she said something much stronger but this is a family newspaper), "I could have sworn I parked that plane in B section, row 8; or was it 8 section, row B?"
I was always puzzled with the invisible airplane. Wasn't it obvious to everyone that when Wonder Woman flew through the air, all you saw was her in a sitting position? I could just picture all the people saying "There goes that crazy Wonder Women, flying through the air again, at least she could have the decency to use a broom."
What about the propeller? When the engine was running turning the propeller, did it make any noise? Maybe it was as silent as some of the motorcycles that go through town. You could be walking in some parking lot and walk right into the invisible airplane with the invisible propeller.
Can you picture walking into the house with your clothes in shreds perhaps missing some body parts and your wife asks, "Where have you been?" What is going to be your response? "I had only one drink at the corner bar and when I stepped out the door to come home I was hit by the propeller of an invisible airplane." Oh sure she'll believe you! (Move over doggy, daddy's sleeping with you tonight.)
No macho guy would ever want to date Wonder Woman. There you are knocking on the front door but when she answers, she drops the "lariat of truth" around you and sweetly asks "What are your plans for me tonight?"
What are you going to say? The lariat of truth has you in its grip so you "spill the beans," including the part where you ply her with drink, and the key to a cheap motel room falls out of your pocket. As you attempt to defend yourself she smacks you with her indestructible bracelets until you are senseless. Ooh, boy, wasn't that fun!
Then there was the problem with her hearing. She was relentless in asking people to repeat what they were saying. When it got to the point where she was asking three and four times, her boyfriend of the time drove her to an audiologist where she eventually got hearing aids.
About the same time, Wonder Woman started to "chunk up." Where she once looked sexy in her skin-tight leotards, she found that she needed to let out some seams to allow for a growing "muffin top" waist. It all came to a head when she bent over in her leotards and heard a long ripping sound. When she felt a draft she realized that the time had come to start a diet. She stopped using the invisible plane to fly to Paris for a fancy supper.
When he was young, Plastic Man loved to spend weekends in the Hamptons being very mischievous with his extendable hands. Many a young man's face was slapped for doing something they didn't do.
Then one day he noticed that he wasn't as fast as he once was and started getting caught with his hands where they didn't belong.
The end of Plastic Man was very sad. One day while using a public bathroom he noticed that his stall was out of toilet paper. While trying to get some toilet paper from an adjacent stall he over-reached his limits and accidentally picked the pocket of a Supreme Court Justice.
His trial was very short and he was sentenced to 100 years of community service picking up waste paper in the gutters. By accident, he was scooped up by a "Green" truck and was recycled into a … sippy-cup.
As you know, "Spider-Man" was a huge hit on Broadway where an actor flew through the air on a cable.
In the comics Spider-Man was invincible, fighting fiendish foes one after the other until he decided to get serious with his love interest Mary Jane (or "MJ," as she was called).
It started out innocent enough when Spider-Man got down on one knee and presented MJ with a ring. MJ immediately asked how many carats the diamond had. Spider-Man said it was 5 carats, which made MJ very happy until she found out it was Diamonique, and could be bought for $79.95 on QVC.
Then there were all the visits to relatives. Spider-Man met so many people, he had difficulty remembering names, so he decided to use the trick of associating a name with a physical attribute. This worked very well until he became confused and thought Aunt Mary had a full mustache and Uncle Bob had a size 48 D-cup chest.
As he aged, he "went to seed" and put on weight. He had arthritis in all his joints, which slowed him down considerably. Crooks got away with murder. His demise came about when he was using a can of "RAID" house and garden spray and holding the can backwards sprayed himself. His last words were "I should have gotten a V8!"
As time goes by, fewer people will be left to remember the superheroes of yesteryear. Until next time, keep moving.

The Underdog
Bundy Hill Question
Question for all that have been there... How is it? I'm going there with a group of buddies and taking the lifted Subaru (assuming I can get my 4wd lock mod working this week). Obviously, I won't be able to do the extreme black/double black or whatever they call it there. But my buddy that went last week said the Subie would be able to handle it. I'm wondering if I'll be able to do any of the trails or just have to stick to the flat parts. I'm not worried about getting stuck, I'm not worried about damaging anything important underneath (skid plate protects the trans pan, oil pan, and whole engine and transmission). So what are your thoughts? I'm getting a bigger lift/tires, a custom snorkel (time to go swimming... Raff Out Roud) and 3.9 FD Mechanical LSD in the near future. Oh and I have gravel rally tires in the closet and generally run Hankook iPikes when mudding or screwing around off-road.
EDIT: BTW, we're going Sunday afternoon.

Sweet! That's fine... it has dents and scratches from being hit and the previous owner putting it in a huge ditch... meh not worried or going to fret about a little more body damage.
Will I be able to do any of the easier/lighter trails?

The Underdog
hum... so a few buddies and I went out there today. Broke some things and got stuck twice, but still had an awesome time regardless. I trashed my off-roading rally tires because I had them set for sand, but they were used and honestly don't really care. Definitely am going to head back up there sometime esp when the new lift comes in.
BTW, you were not joking on some of those mud pits... woooooow!

Washington Could Ruin Washington
Federal spending cuts will mean fresh economic problems for the Washington, D.C., metro area.
Washington, D.C., avoided the worst of the economic crisis, but the nation's capital may soon face more economic pain than the rest of the nation. Lawmakers are facing the prospect of deep spending cuts, and though those cuts are on the federal level, they would likely hit the seat of national government the hardest, as the federal government and the industries it supports in the D.C. area are forced to make tough spending and personnel choices.
Spending cuts are coming—that much seems certain. Across-the-board sequestration cuts totaling $1.2 trillion over 10 years are scheduled to kick in starting March 1. That includes $500 billion that will be cut from defense spending and $500 billion from nondefense discretionary spending. Taken together, those potential cuts, declining war spending, and spending caps instituted in the Budget Control Act that established the sequester will cause government spending to decline sharply, by 11 percent over the next two years, according to a recent analysis from Goldman Sachs.
On Capitol Hill, neither side seems willing to give up any ground to avoid sequestration. Democrats want more revenue from closing tax loopholes. Republicans, meanwhile, refuse to budge, hoping for Democrats to give more ground on cutting spending.
[RELATED: Uncle Sam Misreported Millions in Spending]
The pain of those cuts would likely disproportionately fall upon the seat of federal government, as federal agencies potentially freeze hiring and lay off workers. The Washington, D.C., region is also home to myriad companies that benefit from proximity to the nation's politicians, such as the defense contractors located in northern Virginia.
A slowdown in government spending could mean fewer jobs, less consumer spending, and slower growth in the nation's capital. This week, these possibilities took a step closer to reality, when the Obama administration warned in a memo to federal agencies that it may have to "consider placing employees on temporary furlough, or taking other personnel actions, should sequestration occur."
"We're not used to slowdowns. We're not used to stagnation," says Jim Dinegar, president and CEO of the Greater Washington Board of Trade, a group that represents big business in the D.C. metro area, which extends into the suburbs in Maryland and Northern Virginia. Still, D.C. workers could find themselves out of their jobs if sequestration happens, he says.
[OPINION: Farm Bill's Corporate Welfare Is Unacceptable]
In part, Dinegar believes that President Obama worsened the local effects of sequestration when he proposed this week to again postpone sequestration cuts, in exchange for a package of short-term spending cuts and tax increases. That could make business owners and executives think differently about their future plans.
"It makes a bad situation somewhat worse because [if I'm a businessman] I'm not hiring people until I know there's a clear path forward," Dinegar says. "I'm not expanding my office space until I know a clear path forward. That's putting a chill on the regional economy."
But Congress's intransigence isn't helping, Dinegar adds, with what he calls its "resignation" that sequestration is coming.
Even if Congress avoids sequestration, other spending cuts are likely, and those would also likely fall disproportionately upon the nation's capital, says one economist.
[STUDY: A Lobbyist's Connection to Lawmaker Worth $177K]
"As the entitlements and transfers part of the federal budget is growing, it's going to squeeze out the part of the budget that actually produces something," says Chris Edwards, an economist at the Cato Institute. Because lawmakers are loath to cut entitlements, he says, that means more discretionary cuts. And lots of discretionary spending, be it for federal workers or defense contracts, feeds the Washington, D.C.-area economy.
In fact, it's possible that the D.C. region is already seeing a slowdown, says Stephen Fuller, director of the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University.

Cervical Dysplasia
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I have several questions about treatment of CIN 3. I have been treated for this three times in the past. Each time I had a biopsy and cryotherapy. I can not get my doctor to answer any of my questions. I hope you can help. I have three questions:
I am wondering if my recurrences might be connected to my being on Depo-Provera? Are my chances of becoming pregnant decreased because of having three biopsies and cryotherapy three times?
If I can become pregnant, are my chances of having a miscarriage higher?
Thank you for your time,
Ivor Benjamin, MD, Former co-Editor-in-Chief of OncoLink responds:
Dear Karen,
I am sorry to learn that you feel that your physician did not communicate with you better. Regarding your general questions about cervical dysplasia:

You hear the line from at least one coach every football season, especially when it involves a rivalry.
"Throw out the records."
If only it were that easy for Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie West Centennial..
The Jaguars (2-6) and Eagles (1-7) are a combined 3-13 heading into their 14th meeting this week.
Not very good, obviously.
Here's the silver lining: If this year's game is anything like the classic from a year ago, you can expect hard hits, big plays and -- for the winning team, at least -- a positive feeling heading into the off-season.
Port St. Lucie won the Pride of Port St. Lucie trophy for the first time last season, scoring 10 points in the final 3:31 for a 24-21 win. Dylan Blosser's field goal as time expired capped one of the sweetest moments in the program's 24-year history.
Until last year, Port St. Lucie never had led in the series. In fact, the Jaguars had been outrushed by 2,600 yards and outscored 485-89 In the series' first 12 games.
They made all of the big plays a year ago, capped by a 33-yard pass from D.J. Juste to Frank Martin inside the Eagles' 10 that set up Blosser's winning kick.
The rivalry still lacks a name -- why not Pride of Port St. Lucie, after the trophy? -- but at least now there's a little suspense.
Here are the Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers football rankings heading into the final week of the area's 90th regular season.
1. Fort Pierce Central (8-0): Only Wauchula-Hardee (3-6) stands between Cobras and first undefeated regular season since 1997.
2. Vero Beach (7-1): Two wins in five days? Doesn't get much better than that.
3. Sebastian River (7-2): Sharks celebrating first district championship in program's 19-year history and can tie school record for wins this week.
4. South Fork (8-1): Late-season injuries derailed Bulldogs' bid for first perfect regular season.
5. Treasure Coast (4-3): Titans close regular season against District 13-6A champion Palm Bay.
6. Okeechoebe (4-5): Must beat rival Clewiston to avoid fourth consecutive losing season.
7. Jensen Beach (4-5): Offense has been non-existent the last two weeks.
8. Martin County (4-5): Lost to a winless team on Friday, clinched a playoff berth on Monday. Not something you see every day.
9. St. Lucie West Centennial (1-7): Idle last week.
10. Port St. Lucie (2-6): After blowout loss to Fort Pierce Central, Jaguars suffered tiebreaker loss to Martin County and will miss playoffs for 22nd straight year.
11. John Carroll (6-3): Golden Rams get rematch with Benjamin (8-1) in Southeastern Conference playoffs.
12. St. Edward's (6-3): Six straight wins, four consecutive shutouts.
13. Fort Pierce Westwood (1-8): 49-0 loss to Bayside ends second consecutive 1-8 finish.
14. Master's Academy (0-8): Season over.
