Help support your Meetup
Chip inHello all! I love hosting, cooking (and am especially good at Korean cooking -helps to be Korean) and eating. We would be cooking a few Korean dishes and each meetup will be different. Anyone who would like to learn these dishes or just want to watch and eat! We have a limit of 9 members each meetup.
Each meetup we try to feature a different Korean dish. Some dishes are adventerous and will require an acquired taste bud and other dishes are instantly savory so come experiment! We will eat alot and will have some for you to bring home! :)
For the past meetups, we had so much fun and made some personal friends too so the connection is good.
Thank you for being a part of the group and hope to see you soon~

How old do you think girls should be before they start wearing makeup?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on October 13, 2008
"I think it depends on how much makeup and what kind it is. I think it's kind of a gradual thing."
"I would say probably when they're in junior high. They're wearing it younger and younger, so probably 13."
"At least junior high; none of this grade school stuff."
"I would say 14. That's when they are about to start high school, so that seems like the right age."

why do they ever have to start? Let a girl know she's beautiful so0 she doesn't feel the need to wear that stuff.And don't let her get started in that "follow the pack" crap.
jonas_opines 6 years, 3 months ago
13 years, 4 months. 25 days, 6 hours, 37 minutes, and 8 seconds.

My daughter is almost 4 and she has the play makeup that she puts on when she has friends over and they play dress up. She also has used it to make her daddy look like a princess. When she has a dance recital we allow her to put on a little makeup and glitter like the other girls. At her age makeup is solely for play so I don't find it to be a problem. I think 14 would be an okay age for moderate makeup but I think lip gloss and chapstick are okay at any age.
number3of5 6 years, 3 months ago
As a woman I feel that makeup is an unnecessary item. It takes away money that could be put to a better use. Makeup clogs pores and causes many cases of skin problems. We women should put our foot down and have the nerve to be who we are, no makeup, no bras with wires to poke, no holes in our noses, belly buttons, eye brows, lips, tongues, or ears. We do these things to try to be more beautiful and attract men, but if you ask most "real men", they will tell you that they prefer women without these added adornments.
preebo 6 years, 3 months ago
For most women I am not concerned, however, for my daughter, Abigail, I would say 45 to 50.

Having caught more than a season of Survivor, I'm always amazed at how attractive the women are... that is, until they appear for the finale, slathered in "gharish" makeup.
trinity 6 years, 3 months ago
hawklet21, WHY do you wear that junk on your eyes, you're beautiful without it!!!!!! (remind ya of anyone???)makeup. ah, heck, two of my girls were skilled in the "less is more" concept early on, the third one just never really cared, lol...and none of 'em wore it too early or inappropriately. i think 13ish is a good age to start with basics, little things, etc...but please no raccoon eyes!
dminear60 6 years, 3 months ago
my daughter is 13 and she only wears minimal makeup on special occasions, i.e. a school dance or a social function. For the most part, she is not interested or does not take the time to put make up on and that is just fine with her parents. We have tried to instill in her the concept that less is more.
hawklet21 6 years, 3 months ago
I would say around first-big-honkin'-zit time is a good age to start learning how to properly apply makeup. There is never a right age for raccoon eyes. Ever.

denak 6 years, 3 months ago
I'm kind of an old fuddy duddy so I don't think they need to wear make-up until they are well into high school. I, also, don't think they should get their ears pierced until they are at least a pre-teen and can take care of their ears so they don't get infected.Luckily, I don't have any daughters. I have had two foster daughters though and they knew that I didn't not allow them to wear it outside.Now, when their girlfriends were over and they wanted to play around with makeup(they were 8 and 16 respectively) they could but it had to come off when they went out. I think there is something to be said for letting children be children and I do think that our society "sexualizes" our girls way to early. Look at those brat dolls. They are marketed to pre-teen girls and those dolls look like porn stars. Pouty lips, heavy makeup, skimpy clothes. That isn't what I want my girls playing with.Anyhooo, getting off the subject. I think makeup is ok for fun, or for very special occassions like a school recital or dance, but in my opinion, they don't need to wear it until they are close to 16 or 17. Dena

The rules in our house No ear piercings before the age of 13 and at 14 my mom bought light colored blush, light blue eyeshadow and lip gloss When I turned 16 I could wear foundation and other things like mascara but they always had to be natural looking. Thats when I remember hmmm how natural looking is blue eye shadow.
Tony Kisner 6 years, 3 months ago
If I can get my girl to brush her teeth before she heads out the door mission accomplished. Funny thing about young girls and makeup they want to put it on but have no need for it.
acg 6 years, 3 months ago
It would depend on the kid and the makeup, I think. When I was growing up, it was a gradual thing. Certain things were approved starting at 14 like a little light lipstick or very light eye shadow. Liner and mascara wasn't approved until 15 to 16. And it was still regulated. I grew up in the era of 2 feet of black eye liner and mall bangs. My mom put up with the bangs and the giant ozone hole over our house but she would freak if you tried to leave the house made up like a hooker. As for my own daughter, it won't be a problem When she turns 13, I plan on shipping her to a nunery in the Alps somewhere, so she won't be affected by the evils of make up and dirty boys. :)
mom_of_three 6 years, 3 months ago
We didn't have any rules in our house to that, but the subject didn't come up until 8th or 9th grade, and it was only mascara and a little liner. Even for prom, it was very little makeup. Thank goodness. When my sister was in the 9th grade, she wore tons of make up, and drove my parents crazy.
Richard Heckler 6 years, 3 months ago
Natural beauty is most beautiful and respectfully frugal.Otherwise it's a family matter
mmmskyscraper 6 years, 3 months ago
I started wearing makeup on special occasions when I was twelve or so. Didn't even consider wearing it daily until I was 16. My mom was careful to buy me relatively tame, light, natural colors, so I never got into the raccoon eyes or heavy layers of foundation that other girls my age favored. If I ever have a daughter, I'll probably do the same thing - buy her some makeup, make sure she doesn't overdo it, and let the rest be up to her.

Ford drives up sales of branded goods
4 December 2012
NEW YORK: Ford, the automaker, is rolling out an increasingly diverse range of products from clothing to toys as it endeavours to further boost the revenues secured from licensed goods.
Its portfolio of goods beyond cars includes everything from apparel branded with the blue oval and Mustang insignias to radio-controlled cars on sale at chains like Walmart and Toys R US.
"We're trying to be the licensee of choice for all retailers," Amy Wilds, Ford's licensing marketing manager,
told Forbes
. "They could choose GM or Chrysler brands but if we're easier to work with and provide better service, they'll highlight our items this holiday season."
In the run up to Cyber Monday, the company used social media to raise awareness of its Ford Collection range. Its sales rose by 80% compared with the same day the previous year.
Taking a longer term view, the returns generated by this activity have grown from $1bn in 2005 to $1.5bn in 2011.
The company's dealers take 20% of the proceeds from sales originating through their websites, and are being encouraged to offer an increasingly broad range of Ford Collection products.
Indeed, Ford has recently introduced a web platform where dealers can order such items at a reduced rate, alongside receiving discounts for buying in bulk, and the chance to access "monthly specials".
"We're trying to get dealers more involved in selling our officially branded merchandise," said Wilds. "We're also focused on educating dealers about the program."
As part of this process, the organisation has created "street teams", or expert representatives, to attend dealerships and discuss the options available, as well as how best to display products on site.
"When we announced these programs at Ford Dealer Council meetings, there was a lot of excitement around them," said Wilds.
Mark Bentley, Ford's licensing manager, added that its slate of products which particularly appeal to male customers have enjoyed rising demand.
"We also have been selling a lot of 'man cave' items through Hobby Lobby, from signs to coasters to pint beer glasses — anything a man would want," he said.

I would have went to see John if I had had the option of all 4. I think he had more of a presence on stage (im not saying Paul doesn't, I saw him in Glasgow and it was beyond amazing. Just unbelievably brilliant). I see the Beatles live and for me its John who stands out. But that's in hindsight and having seen Paul and Ringo already.

It's funny: Back in October I was on vacation visiting my mum when the Magical Mystery Tour DVD was released, and I said "Cool! I hope it's in the store when I get home!" And it was! And now here I am on vacation again...and I hope that Rockshow DVD's in the store when I get home!
I'm still hoping Funny Paper will review the thing and tell us if it compares to her memory of the show (which she saw LIVE, don'tcha know)

Zig said, "Yikes! Just now seeing your post, Doc – sorry for the delay."
No problem - equal delays on this end.
I think that if I were to run a "School of Rock" class, that Rockshow DVD would be a must. Even songs I don't care for on the (studio) recording come to life in spectacular fashion.
The artifice of bringing the 3 guitarists close together during the acoustic set really works. I'm surprised he hasn't done that since ( or has he?)
Yes, McC really "brings it on."

Schiller: Apple will not make a 'cheap' iPhone [Updated]
In an interview with the Shanghai Evening News, Apple Senior VP Phil Schiller responded to rumours of a cheaper iPhone, essentially stating that Apple will continue to focus on producing the best quality iPhone possible and will not cut corners on its iPhone design simply to produce an inexpensive smartphone for the mass market.
Speaking regarding Apple's products in China, Schiller noted that the Chinese market has already evolved from non-smartphones to cheap smartphones, but that despite their popularity, this will not be the future of Apple's products. Schiller emphasized that Apple considers using only the "best technology available" in every product that it creates, and that Apple continues to make the majority of profit despite only owning a relatively small market share of smartphones.
Update: Reuters has issued a brief statement that it has withdrawn the prior story due to the Shanghai Evening News report being "subsequently updated with substantial changes to its content." Notably, Reuters has indicated that no replacement story will be issued. There is some confusion as to the reasoning for this, as the Shanghai Evening News reports does not appear to have substantially changed since its initial publication by English media, however there has been some speculation that Schiller's comments may have been misinterpreted or mistranslated.

Turkish Constitutional Court Orders Lifting Of Twitter Ban
Turkey's block on access to Twitter violated freedom of expression and individual rights, the Turkish constitutional court said on Wednesday.
This is the most significant legal challenge yet to a ban which caused public uproar and international condemnation, comments Reuters.
Turkey's telecoms authority TIB blocked access to Twitter on March 21 after Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said he would "root out" the network, following a stream of anonymously posted audio tapes purporting to expose corruption in his inner circle days ahead of nationwide elections.
The constitutional court said it had sent its verdict to the TIB and the Transport Ministry, which also has responsibility for communications. It was not immediately clear whether the ruling would lead to a lifting of the block.
Meanwhile, the government blocked access to the video portal YouTube, after a recording allegedly including Turkey's intelligence chief discussing possible military operations in Syria with the foreign minister and the deputy head of the armed forces, was leaked in the portal.

Mid-South Fair attendance continues to dwindle
Published: October 5,2012
Tags: attendance, carnival, entertainment, fair, fun, location, recreation, relocation, rides, tourism, tourist, vacation, visitor
SOUTHAVEN — An estimated 66,000 attended the 2012 Mid-South Fair in Southaven.
The Commercial Appeal reports the attendance was not as good as past fairs in Mississippi but still a number that fair officials consider a success.
The event ended Sunday in Southaven, where the 156-year-old fair has been held for the past four years since moving from Memphis.
In 2009, attendance was 142,976, a shadow of the 340,146 who attended during the final year in Memphis a year earlier. Fair officials have struggled with the attendance numbers in each year since. Last year's attendance was estimated at 75,000.
Mike McGee, the president of the fair's board of directors, says final revenue totals were still being compiled.
The fair will remain in Mississippi through 2014.

New Alaska Governor Faces Difficult Year

As Alaska's new governor, Sean Parnell simply needs to diffuse a politically poisonous atmosphere, mend a fractured Republican Party and guide one of the largest infrastructure projects in American history. He has one year to do it.
With Sarah Palin's departure, Parnell takes over at a difficult time. Fluctuating oil prices have thrown Alaska's state budget into uncertainty. Drug abuse, domestic violence and the high school dropout rate remain persistent problems. And the state's massive natural gas pipeline project faces key upcoming tests. Those include bidding by customers for space in the pipeline and negotiations over taxes with energy companies that are bankrolling a project whose cost may reach $40 billion.
Parnell's background positions him well for the job. He's a former legislator, lawyer and oil-company employee. On the issues, Parnell loyally backed Palin, but his style is quite a bit different. The new governor has a reputation for being low-key, open and collegial, which should help undo the Palin-era mistrust between the executive and legislative branches.
However, that doesn't mean that Republicans are ready to unite behind Parnell. Candidates already are gearing up for next year's gubernatorial race. Unless the new governor succeeds quickly, he may soon acquire the lame-duck status that his predecessor feared.

Absent from our pages since August of 2012, when he linked up with Vonnegutt to bring us boozy mixtape inclusion Last Time, unsigned buzzmaker Huey Mack makes his long-awaited return to our pages with new single Nights Like These. Created in the midst of a two-day insomniac streak, this poignant jam finds the West Virginia representative venting about about a few topics that have been weighing heavy on his heart of late. Over Shaghie's production, a crossover-friendly arrangement driven by light-rock guitar, Huey recounts his recent struggles to stay true to his artistic principles and wonders whether his relationship with his girl back home will weather his constant touring. Ben Fredette's candid visuals round out the package. Nights Like These isn't attached to a larger project, but we'll keep you posted on Huey Mack's plans as further details emerge.

Freethinker of the banking world
Interview: Martin Taylor; The Barclays chief executive explains to Jeremy Warner why he is holding firm to his vision of the future in spite of recent City criticism He tells why
For Martin Taylor, chief executive of Barclays, it was a lot faster. "Someone has to be here in August," he says. "And anyway, I have to be around for the interim results. So I take my holidays in July. It seems like an age away already."
So it must. The results, announced a couple of weeks back, were not particularly well received - either in the press or the City - and there has been renewed media speculation that Taylor, recently turned 46, intends to quit, possibly to join his new found Labour buddies in government. Taylor finds it all very irritating, since it gives the impression that with the banking cycle now peaking out, he is an "in at the bottom out at the top" opportunist. He insists, by the way, that it is also misinformed.
It is now exactly five years ago that Taylor, to a mixture of surprise and applause, was appointed to the hot seat at Barclays. Until then, Barclays had always been run by a member of the five ruling families from which the bank had sprung. Taylor is the first outsider to occupy the post, and is still its youngest.
What he came into was a profoundly demoralised and run-down organisation in urgent need of modernisation and new direction. The fall of Barclays had been a cautionary tale of banking hubris and recklessness on a grand scale. Overtaken in the mid-1980s by its arch-rival, NatWest, in terms of size, Barclays had persuaded shareholders to stump up nearly pounds 1bn of new equity to fund an attempted climb back to pole position.
Under the slogan "Number One By Ninety One", the bank threw caution to the winds and embarked on an extraordinary lending binge. The result was as predictable as it was devastating. When the recession came, Barclays was worse hit than any other high-street bank. The bad debts rose and rose, and for the first time in its history, Barclays was forced to declare a loss - a terrible indict- ment for any bank let alone one as big as Barclays.
The City demanded change, as well as scalps. To save himself, the chairman, Andrew Buxton, promised to bring in an outside chief executive. Head hunters were appointed, speculation mounted, any number of grey-haired bankers filed in and out of the interview rooms, and then out of the blue the committee of independent non-executives charged with finding a saviour announced the appointment of the young whipper snapper Taylor.
At first the City did not know what to make of it. Taylor was known for being fiendishly clever, but as a businessman his track record was limited and as a banker it was non-existent.
Clever Taylor undoubtedly is. While at Balliol College, Oxford, he studied oriental languages, including Mandarin - "because it was difficult". He is that sometimes seductive mixture of arrogant certainty and charm, the unmistakable hallmark of the Old Etonian he is, and he dresses casual, not Richard Branson casual, but Italian designer casual - loose fitting suit, colour co-ordinated tie and comfortable shirt. Even today he looks more like the journalist he once was than a banker.
In his time, Taylor was generally regarded as one of the best-ever editors of the FT's Lex column. This respected and often arcane investment column, once famously described as widely read but rarely understood, might not seem a likely training ground for business leadership.
Even so, Taylor seemed preordained for greatness. As a young reporter, I used to come across him on the company news circuit, and it was apparent then that he thought he could run these companies as well as he could write about them. Journalism is nonetheless a seductive profession.
Even so, I always had him down as a future editor of the FT, or perhaps one of those highly paid management gurus so beloved of the US lecture circuit. He speaks swiftly, one argument tumbling in on another, a legion of subordinate clauses and caveats amid the richness of his thought process. On occasions, if the truth be known, he goes full circle and ends up contradicting himself, but this hardly seems to matter; he may be simply marshalling all sides of the argument to the central purpose.
He is also irritatingly precise in his semantics, in the manner of a lawyer. I venture that he is at the forefront of the debate over consolidation in the banking industry. "I don't see myself as being much involved in the debate, it's more about making predictions," he says. "I've been saying for the last 18 months that it's absolutely certain there would be huge consolidation in world banking and since I've said it, there has been huge consolidation in world banking. Phase one has already happened. There's now going to be a phase two, three and four. That's not open to debate."
Back in time to the FT. The lucrative City job offers came flooding in. Taylor resisted until at the age of 29, when along came the break he was looking for. For all chief executives, there is a defining moment, a stroke of luck without which they would not be where they are. For Taylor it was being made personal assistant to Sir Christopher Hogg, another old Etonian who at that time headed up Courtaulds.
There are large parts of Sir Christopher's style in Taylor, and it is clear that this was an apprenticeship in the old style; you do it like the mentor, there is no other way. Both have an approach to business leadership and decision making that is intellectually driven rather than intuitive. There's also a certain laid-back quality, which can easily be mistaken for lack of urgency but is more to do with a reflective approach to problem solving. Some in the City do not like it all the same. "Too precious for words" is one common criticism.
Five years into the job and Taylor was made chief executive of Courtaulds Textiles, the demerged apparel and threads part of the Courtaulds group. There his reputation was for draconian cost cutting and plant closures. It earned him few friends in the textile industry but endeared him to the City - and probably saved the company.
Barclays was a gift. Taylor arrived at a point where things could hardly have got any worse. "You could hardly have been more lucky with your timing," I suggest.
This draws an interesting response - one of faintly offended, feigned puzzlement. "I don't think I'm lucky with my timing at all. The bank was looking for a chief executive, and I was chosen. The timing was not lucky, it was absolutely necessary. A lot of people supposed, and I supposed from what I read, that the bank would still be going down, that my task was to turn it round.
"When I got here, what I actually found was that it had already turned and it was coming out quite fast .The things you do as a manager are very different under these circumstances. I spent a lot of time studying large turnarounds before coming to Barclays, but I found that actually that information initially was not of much help."
Taylor spent his early weeks simply observing the organisation. At the end of it, he produced a document for senior executives, "First Impressions". I had heard this was a statement of objectives, a sort of five-year plan. Not at all. "I sent round a paper of observations, the flavour of the organisation - what was wrong with it, what was right with it. It certainly wasn't a five-year plan. I've never been like that. And it was overwhelmingly cultural in nature, about the way the institution struck me. Rather like someone spending time, you know, with a tribe they didn't know. I wanted to get that down on paper before I became part of the tribe. Put it this way, Jeremy, if I had been so rash as to publish what I wanted to do with Barclays, I wouldn't have achieved it yet."
So what struck him most? "Credit-risk processes and ways of thinking. And then the way people behaved with each other. There was a rather strange attitude to money, which we didn't recognise at all from the other side of the business fence. It seemed to swing from the extraordinarily mean to the extraordinarily reckless, with not much in between.
"But mostly it was the behaviour of the people which worried me. The organisation confused formality with discipline and professionalism, it assumed that because everyone kept their jackets on at meetings, knew their place, and conducted things only through the proper channels, that this was proof things were being done properly, whereas actually the business was not disciplined at all. I wanted it to become very much less formal, and more disciplined at the same time."
Nearly five years on, has he succeeded, or has he just ridden the upturn in the economy? Certainly his profits and share price have stormed ahead, but that is true of nearly all banks. If there is a recession, bad debts are going to rise again and profits are going to fall.
Of that there is no doubt. Taylor's belief is that the organisational and personnel changes he has introduced, the reforms in risk assessment and credit control, the attention to costs, will ensure that the down is very much less than last time round.
Essentially, the City has bought the story. But there are still doubts. The relative investment positions of Barclays and NatWest have reversed. The City liked the last set of figures from NatWest, for so long the whipping boy of the sector, but was unimpressed with Barclays'.
For some, the sale of BZW's equities arm was a turning point. Most banking analysts agree it was the right decision, but it seemed a shabby and disreputable retreat. Undoubtedly it marked a change of heart for Taylor, who until then had been investing heavily in the attempt to create an integrated investment bank along Wall Street lines. U-turns always damage credibility to some extent.
So what is Taylor going to do next? When he accepted offer from Gordon Brown, the Chancellor, to head up the Government's tax and benefit review, it was widely assumed in the City he had lost interest. Then it filtered out that he had approached a number of competitors with proposals to merge. In each case, he was spurned. The impression was of a man who needed a deal.
None of this is right, according to Taylor. He will not be outstaying his welcome at Barclays but there is a lot left to do before that time comes. And as for consolidation, he views that as inevitable as tomorrow's dawn.

Isaac Delusion. Photo by Antoine Robin.
Vibe is a tough concept to describe, and an even tougher one to nail. On the Early Morning EP, the French duo Isaac Delusion perfectly defines the contours of airy indie-electro, elevating it to something far more nuanced and deeply therapeutic. Imagine a cool drink of lemonade, or a well-timed breeze: This is a record that will handily take the edge off the most ass-clenching of hangovers, and it easily gets our vote for best thing I heard this week. Stream it below, and then I'll say a few more words about it.
The EP succeeds on the strength of the songwriting, and the duo's almost alarming attention to detail, which recalls Björk's best moments on Vespertine ("Purple Sky") and Arthur Russell's profound understanding of vocal melody ("Transistors"). The key to this EP is introversion: The inward-facing tracks seem to have been crafted by hand in heavy isolation, presumably at a high altitude and far, far away from the city.
Early Morning is out in the US on February 26 through Cracki Records (via the French Kiss Label Group), and you can order your own copy right here. You can also catch the duo (which expands to a trio for live performances) on a short tour this spring: Dates are below.

Middleborough has had some problems with teens hanging out in the town center and swearing so much that customers were being scared away from the shops, The Guardian reports. The city already had a bylaw that defined cursing in public as a crime, but the police never enforced it. Officials are hoping that by imposing a fine instead of a long, drawn-out trial, police will be more likely to stop the cursing.
The tricky part about these new fines is that the Supreme Court decided years ago that the government had no Constitutional right to restrict free speech based on swearing. But on the other hand, Massachusetts has its own law allowing policemen to arrest people who curse at others in public. So for right now, it's up to each law enforcer in Middleborough to decide how far he or she is going to carry this new ordinance.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Maybe this isn't something dance actually "gave" to me, but I will say that my years as an avid student and professional ballet dancer have certainly had a great impact on me as the mother of a son who loves sports.
Let me just say this first—my children do not dance. My daughter Shannon took ballet for nine years with my wonderful colleagues at Princeton Ballet School, but did not really have the passion to continue beyond the milestone of getting her pointe shoes.
by ARB alum Annie Gribbins
What has dance given to me? Well, that is, besides some aches and pains, arthritis, and a sore back?
by Kathleen Smith, DANCE POWER Coordinator
As I am coming up on my last week as an intern at American Repertory Ballet, I am shocked at how quickly these past weeks have gone by. It doesn't feel like all that long ago I was a nervous, and admittedly clueless, intern on her first day of the job. Since then, the amount I have learned has been incredible, and the experiences that I have had have been invaluable.

The ATSNJ is proud to announce that this year's Keynote Lecture at the Annual Conference on March 2nd will feature former Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand, Rutgers Team Physician Dr. Robert Monaco, and Rutgers Athletic Trainer David McCune.
In October 2010, Rutgers University football star, Eric LeGrand, sustained a spinal cord injury at his C3 and C4 vertebrae during a fourth quarter play at MetLife Stadium. While the initial prognosis was grim, Eric demonstrated his titan strength by shattering all expectations for his recovery and rehabilitation. However, recovery was not enough.
With close to six million Americans living with some form of paralysis, including 1.3 million spinal cord injuries, Eric harnessed the national spotlight he attracted from his injury to give back to the community and inspire those living with and impacted by paralysis to bELieve.

On Thursday, January 15th, four ATSNJ student members dedicated their time with Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County to help rebuild a home that was severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy in Little Ferry, New Jersey. At the time that Sandy hit, the home had suffered nearly five feet of sewer water damage in the basement, destroying nearly everything in its path. The students had the opportunity to repaint the basement of the home as well as measure, cut out, and place new sheet rock onto the walls. The students gained incredible knowledge pertaining to the work that goes into building and remodeling homes from experienced contractors who were at the site that day. The damage that was done by Hurricane Sandy was evident from all of the media coverage, but the ability for the students to see it in person gave them an entirely new perspective. When asked to reflect on the day, Maikee Migallos, a senior athletic training student at Montclair State University said: "Even though I was inexperienced with home renovations, the Habitat for Humanity organization was very grateful we were there. The homeowner was very appreciative and that goes to show how even the smallest things make a difference."
The Athletic Trainers' Society of New Jersey is proud to announce a Corporate Partnership with IvyRehab! Corporate Partnership is the highest level of partnership with the ATSNJ. "IvyRehab is excited to partner with The Athletic Trainers' Society of New Jersey," said IvyRehab COO Mike Sportini. "IvyRehab has a host of opportunities to offer. It is our goal to be a supportive component to you and your student athletes." The ATSNJ is very excited to begin what is surely the beginning of a very successful partnership with IvyRehab. Look for their logo and vendor table at the ATSNJ Conference March 1st and 2nd, 2015! For more information on partnering with or sponsoring the ATSNJ, please visit our website at www.atsnj.org.
On Saturday, January 12, 2015, Kevin Hyland, ATC was awarded the 2015 Gatorade Secondary School Athletic Trainer Award. Kevin is the recipient of this award for the National Athletic Trainers' Association's District 2. In order to receive the award, an Athletic Trainer must meet the following criteria:
· Candidate must be an active certified athletic trainer in the year of consideration and a current member of NATA in good standing.
· Candidate must have a current NPI Number
· Candidate must be BOC Certified
· Candidate must be a full-time or part-time employee in the secondary schools for at least one full academic year
Mr. Hyland was nominated by Manasquan High School Athletic Director Ron Kornegay and had 3 letters of recommendation written in support of his nomination by Mr. Rick Coppola (School Principal), Dr. Patrick Buddle, MD (Team Physician) and Ms. Emily Maher (Athletic Training Student).
"I am truly honored to receive this award." Said Hyland. "I feel it is a direct reflection on our school, administration, and community. The support I receive from them allows our athletic training program to be successful. Without the support from my administration and community many of our goals would not have been reached."
When sports result in a serious injury, athletes not only need to heal physically, but they often struggle to regain confidence. These feelings can influence how they react to the injury, approach recovery and get back to their sport. Remember that after a sports injury, it's normal to feel mild apprehension about recovery. It even serves a purpose by providing some protection from re-injury. However, if you feel persistent and intense fear, it can disrupt your return to the sport. This condition can be complicated and can often result from multiple factors, including:
Traumatic and overuse injuries are on the rise among young athletes. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, 1.24 million kids were seen in emergency rooms for sports injuries in 2013. These injuries can be attributed to a number of reasons: students competing for a top spot on the roster, pushing to get college scholarships, not knowing their physical limits or challenging themselves for a chance to go pro. Every young athlete has a different reason for why they push themselves and, consequently, why they get injured. However, there's also an underlying similarity: many of these injuries can be prevented. As we get deeper into the winter sports season, it is important for student athletes, parents and coaches to be proactive about learning the common injuries caused by winter sports, and the key steps to preventing those injuries. First, let's take a look at the common injuries. There are two types of injuries that typically occur: traumatic injuries are the result of a single, traumatic event, and overuse injuries are more subtle and occur over time. Both types can have short and long-term effects on an athlete, and on their ability to perform. The most common injuries among young athletes involve sprains, strains, dislocations and fractures. Winter sports in particular, such as basketball, hockey and skiing, put a lot of stress on the body, which can lead to additional injuries.
As many as 500,000 people in the United States have a heritable and potentially fatal heart disease called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The disease can cause irregular heartbeats, heart valve problems, heart failure and, in rare cases, sudden cardiac death in young people. But some people who carry gene mutations that cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy never experience symptoms.
A new study helps explain why. For the first time, researchers have found that, in addition to gene mutations, environmental stress plays a key role in development of the disease.
The study, led by senior author Sakthivel Sadayappan, PhD, MBA, of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, is published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology.
In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, making it harder for the heart to pump blood. The disease can cause irregular heartbeats such as atrial fibrillation; obstructed blood flow that can cause shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness and fainting spells; problems with the mitral valve; an enlarged ventricle (pumping chamber) that reduces the heart's ability to pump blood; heart failure; and sudden cardiac death. It's the leading cause of heart-related sudden death in people under age 30, including many athletes. For example, Boston Celtics basketball star Reggie Lewis died at age 27 after collapsing during a practice session.
Quick action by a East Hanover township police officer and an athletic trainer helped save the life of a 16-year-old who went into cardiac arrest during a high school basketball game Saturday afternoon.
It was while Morris Knolls boys' basketball team was away at Hanover Park High School when a 16-year-old boy passed out on the court, East Hanover Sgt. Jack Ambrose said.
Patrol Officer Mariusz "Mario" Zamojski, a seven-year member of the police department, and athletic trainer Joe Frasciello, who works for Sportscare Performance Institute in Whippany, immediately rushed over to assess the Morris Knolls student, Ambrose said.
Zamojski told NJ Advance Media the student was taking a foul shot "when he appeared to go rigid and just fell backwards against the court." The student fell hard, he said, with his head bouncing off the court.
The boy was unresponsive, wasn't breathing and didn't have a pulse, so Zamojski and Frasciello began to perform CPR, Ambrose said.
After three rounds of chest compressions and rescue breaths, Frasciello and Zamojski hooked the boy up to an automatic defibrillator. But, there was a complication.
About a hundred or so people were in the bleachers including the boy's parents, so the scene was loud and "chaotic," Zamojski said, making it hard for them to hear when the device was ready to shock the boy.
"I'm glad no one was touching the boy's body," he said.
After one shock, the boy started breathing again.
On Thursday, November 20, 2014, Athletic Training Student Cory Weissman told his story to the students at Oratory Preparatory School in Summit, New Jersey. Cory, a stand out basketball player in high school, suffered a stroke after his freshman basketball season at Gettysburg College that left. His story has been highlighted by ESPN College Game Day and ESPN Outside the Lines. A full length motion picture entitled "1000 to 1: The Cory Weissman Story" was also produced.
Cory's message to the Oratory Prep students, faculty and staff was simple: Don't ever give up on your dreams and concentrate on taking the first step toward your ultimate goals. The stroke that Cory suffered came during a weight lifting session during the off season. Cory described getting a piercing headache that did not subside after 10 or so minutes and he decided to continue with the workout. He said he went to lift a dumbbell off the rack with his right arm and had no difficulty. He went to do the same with his left and could not lift the weight. Over the next few minutes, Cory's body began to shut down and he and his teammate made their way towards the Athletic Training Room. His friend began yelling for help when an Athletic Trainer emerged from the room and ran to their aid.
"The Athletic Trainer immediately began an assessment and called 911." Cory recalled. "She helped save my life. Without her help, who knows what would have happened."
In an effort to raise awareness of this disease, American Diabetes Month was established in November. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) holds an annual walk in various locations one month prior in an effort to raise funds, raise more awareness and bring those affected by diabetes together for one common cause. According to the American Diabetes Association in 2012, 29.1 million Americans had diabetes while a staggering 86 million Americans aged 20 and older who were diagnosed with prediabetes. Diabetes however does not only affect adults in the United States but also children and adolescents. About 208,000 Americans under the age of 20 are estimated to have diagnosed diabetes.

TC FEATURED IN STEVENS POINT JOURNAL: In the Monday, December 1 issue of the Stevens Point Journal, our school was highlighted in a very thoughtful article by Nathan Vine. Click here to access the online version of the article - a locally saved version of the article is available at the right side of this screen, as well. What a great summary of what makes us PROUD TO BE PENGUINS!
STAY UPDATED: Tri-County is now broadcasting updates on school-related events/news via Twitter. Please follow us at @TCPenguinNews.
NOTEWORTHY NEWS: This year, will continue holding our quarterly class meetings with students in grades 7-12, at which various grade-specific topics are discussed, including the establishment of academic goals for each quarter. Each class is being challenged to set a goal for a targeted minimum percentage of its members who will earn all passing grades for the quarter. The students are provided with pertinent data from their most recently completed grading period, and then use that information to create a goal that poses a challenge for improvement…but that is also realistically attainable.
Through the combined efforts of many, students in grades 7-12 of our school accomplished a whopping 51.9% reduction in failing semester grades during the 2013-2014 school year (with respect to the 2012-2013 school year). THIS IS AN AMAZING STATISTIC THAT WE INTEND TO BUILD EVEN FURTHER UPON DURING THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR!
POLICY REMINDER TO PARENTS OF OUR SENIORS: During EACH semester of their senior year, students must not be absent (excused or unexcused) from school for more than 80 class periods (10 school days) in order to participate in the graduation ceremony.
IMPORTANT DATES Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6: High School Play (Lecture Hall; 7:00) Thursday, December 11: 7-12 Choir Concert (Lecture Hall; 7:00) Monday, December 15: 6-12 Band Concert (HS Gym; 7:00) Tuesday, December 23: Early Release (12:30) Wednesday, December 24 - Friday, January 2: NO SCHOOL
