M. Shanahan Discuss QBs, RelationshipsPosted by on December 9, 2013 – 3:29 pm
The frustration from season-long inefficacy is no more apparent then the venomous headlines of various local publications' websites and the tweets from reporters who spend their days living for Redskins news—both good and bad.
Of course the bad has outweighed the good in the media world recently, leading to what was a jam-packed Redskins Park this afternoon in anticipation of Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan's press conference and a peek into his future.
After a near 24 hour wait that encapsulated the DMV's thoughts, Shanahan took the podium at the three o'clock hour.
Here's video of his press conference along with a live tweet summary courtesy the Redskins Official Twitter (@Redskins):

I have been a Redskins Fan since the 1970's. Regarding Robert Griffin III, I have never seen a Player that has glorified himself, been self serving and appears to be all about me. I have waited patiently all year for the "second coming of RGIII" and here it is December and he is still making excuses for his poor performances each week.
I am tired of the standout one sleeve, look at me attire that Robert Griffin III wears each week. If I had a Member of my TEAM not wanting to wear the TEAM Uniform and present him/herself like the other TEAM Members, they would not be playing on my TEAM! I saw the "self glorification" in August, and I was concerned about the anomosity it would cause amongst the TEAM Players and Coaches of the Washington Redskins! Here it is. Now I totally understnad why there is no sense of TEAM work on the Playing Field. If I am seeing it, thousands of others are too!
There are no places for distractions and "I's" in TEAM Sports.
The TEAM of the Washington Redskins is not the "Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins". TEAMS are not and should not be built around ONE Player, as there are 52 other Members that make up this TEAM!

My first impression of Robert Griffin 3rd was that of a spoiled kid. That impression has been magnified and repeated many times since. Some people refer to him as RG me…
It took less than a year for the NFL to defense his unorthadox talents.
If He can't be coached/taught to be a genleman and a team player the redskin management should drop him like a load of bricks.

R. Griffin is one of those guys that believes his press releases. Maybe his offensive line could do better, but because of him they don't. He is too slow reading defenses and I think that makes him slow in his decisions. By then, the opposing defensive end/tackle/guard has him on his back.
Kirk Cousins is a more conventional qb. and reads defense better. He should have an honest chance to see if this team can win a game or two.

The Washington Redskins TEAM does not need another "College Coach". The last "College Coach" won one game and had a losing season. There needs to be 53 TEAM Players, not 1 Player and 52. As a loyal TEAM Fan, if I feel like that, thousands of others must too!

Dear Mr. Snyder, my first memory of watching a Superbowl was when I was 13 years old rooting for the 82 Redskins against the Dolphins. I have been a fan ever since. I grew up and still live in Southern California. Never been to RFK or FedEx field but still a dedicated Redskins fan. I appreciate that you grew up a Redskins fan as well but you also decided to be an owner of the Redskins as well. As a diehard Redskins fan and I have watched and studied a lot of football but I don't pretend to know more than those that are professionals running NFL teams. Growing up in Southern California, I have always made fun of the Raiders fan because that franchise has been such a joke for 20+ years. Now you have managed to turn the Redskins into that joke of a franchise. After 30 + years as a Redskins fan, I am ready to pack up my jerseys, helmets, bar stools, rug, memorabilia, and everything else I own displaying the Redskins logo and adopting a new team. Just fire Shanahan already – this man has no integrity. Stop taking lessons from Jerry Jones on how to be a successful owner – the Cowboys franchise is another joke. Take lessons from Robert Kraft who also was a fan of his team but knows how to be an owner and leaves the football business to football people. He turned a terrible franchise into one of the best as much as I can't stand that team – they are still successful. The Redskins went from a team that went to the Superbowl 4 times in 10 years to the one of the worst franchises in sports.

Bandits having rough weekend
ROCHESTER — The Buffalo Bandits didn't play a bad game against the Rochester Knighthawks on Saturday night. In fact, they did quite a bit right except when it came to scoring goals.
That makes it easy to guess how this game turned out.
The Bandits dropped their seventh straight game, losing to the Knighthawks, 8-4. That set a franchise record for consecutive losses, breaking a mark from last season.
If that weren't a dreary enough statistic, the four goals scored set a franchise record for fewest in a regular-season game. Buffalo scored only six goals in its last trip to Rochester in February. Defender Steve Priolo can't believe the Knighthawks shut down the Bandits on the scoreboard so thoroughly.
"If I knew the answer to that, I'd be coaching," he said. "They like to play low-scoring games. Their defense plays extremely hard."
Joe Resetarits added, "You can't win a game with only four goals. The defense and goaltending have been good. We haven't been doing our part."
Bandits coach Troy Cordingley was a bit more upbeat that he was after Friday night's loss in Toronto. He thought he saw some building blocks as the team approaches the end of the regular season.
"For us, this was a confidence-builder," he said. "Our defense was sensational. Our goaltending was sensational. Our offense was really good. We outshot them. We created some power plays from effort. We just couldn't score."
If Buffalo is having trouble scoring goals, chances are good that Matt Vinc has something to do with it. The frequent Bandit nemesis stopped 45 of 49 shots, a save percentage of .918. Anything above .800 in indoor lacrosse is considered excellent. Vinc had plenty of help in front of him.
"That's a good goalie, and a good defense," Cordingley siad. "It's one of the best defenses in the league. Every goal we got was well earned."
Of the four Bandit goals, three of them came on the power play.
Buffalo hadn't led for a second of Friday night's game in Toronto, so the team hoped to get off to a good start this time. Resetarits accomplished that with a power-play score early in the first period. The catch was that the Bandits couldn't add to it. Priolo had a clean breakaway coming out of the penalty box early in the second period, but couldn't beat Vinc.
"I picked out a slot, but the goalie saved it," Priolo said. "That would have been a big goal. That one's on me."
The Knighthawks came alive for only about three minutes in the first half, but it was enough. They scored four goals in that time, including two from Johnny Powless. That gave them a 4-1 halftime lead.
Buffalo came back with goals by Shawn Williams and Resetarits to close to within 4-3. Resetarits' role has been growing during the course of the season, as he's been one of the few consistent bright spots the past several weeks.
"Joe has been our best offensive player," Cordingley said. "His speed is tremendous. His development is good for the organization. It's only his second year, and really it's his first full one."
But that was the last time the Bandits could get within a goal. Rochester built the margin back to three by the end of the third quarter and pulled away a bit more to win the game without too much drama.
Back when the Bandits were 8-2 and leading the National Lacrosse League East, they looked like contenders for a title.
Now they don't have a chance at finishing with a winning record, having fallen to 8-9.
"It's stunning," Resetarits said. "You've got to expect that during a long season, you're going to go through some lows. We've got to fight through this."
Despite the string of losses, the Bandits still have a chance to finish second in the NLL East.
They need to defeat Rochester at home next Saturday, or Toronto needs to lose in Minnesota the same night. Second place carries a reward — a home game in the first round of the playoffs. Rochester already has wrapped up a first-round bye in the East.

|Led the right side with lots of waterfall from above (snowmelt/runoff from top of El Cap). IMO, this is a SPENDID route! Yes, I gave it 4 stars and I honestly like it that much! Well worth the approach. I also think it is probably the stiffest 5.8 I've been on. Certainly seems more like 5.9. Still need to get on the left side, but by the time we finished the right, I was wet and so was everything I left at the base... cold and wet, still worth it!
By Peter Haan

I agree. The right side is a very unique, intense little 5.8. It might even verge on 5.9. It looks easier than it is and also looks junky. But you are actually constantly engaged in stellar little crux-ettes all the way up and protection is certainly adequate. I was surprised like other posters here, how good a route this little thing is. Summit is pretty amazing: tiny and perched up under the gigantic overhanging wall below South Seas, Pacific Ocean et al.
The left side is one of the more miraculous 5.10s I have ever put up. You are dead horizontal in this offwidth but find way-hefty cracks and holds both inside the offwidth for your left hand but giant footholds out on the roof surface for your right foot. Although in a classic offwidth position, you are actually faceclimbing more than crack climbing there. The last bit of the pitch and which ends on the micro-summit, almost gets to be harder than down below as the crack pinches off and the wall gets way steep. This is a very rewarding and dramatic climb that never really gets very hard. Safe also, btw.

ISSAQUENA COUNTY — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District (Corps) is working to strengthen a section of the main line Mississippi River levee system at Buck Chute near Eagle Lake.
A sand boil is when water seepage move materials under or through the levee during high water stages.
The work consists of clearing existing vegetation and constructing an earthen dike that will enclose an area to be filled with sand. This will reduce the water pressure on both sides of the levee and assist with the prevention of water seepage and materials shifting in and around the levee system.
The Vicksburg District, levee boards and local officials continue to closely monitor weather and river conditions. The Vicksburg District Emergency Operations Center is coordinating with the state emergency management agencies in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi concerning any necessary activities.

House Republican leadership appears to have quieted naysayers on their right who recently seemed hungry to threaten default and defy conventional arguments that such a hardline stance would trigger crisis.
As the House prepares to take steps to push back the debt ceiling deadline until May, the debate within the party is still focused on how to achieve the GOP's desired spending cuts using other less credit-threatening vehicles, such as the sequester or the soon-to-expire continuing resolution to fund the government…
"Republicans very well understand that crisis we went through from not raising the debt ceiling and that was explained at Williamsburg," said a GOP aide.
Other budget wonks watching deliberations behind the scenes on Capitol Hill agree the arguments that default would not be disastrous seem to be waning, particularly at the behest of leaders and "old bulls" in the party.
"There is growing recognition that not raising the debt ceiling would have an impact that would be very difficult for the economy," said G. William Hoagland, a senior vice president with the Bipartisan Policy Center. "The discussion that happened down at Williamsburg had a lot to do with that evolution. I'm thinking that Paul Ryan had a lot to do with the discussion down there — that he recognizes that the statutory debt ceiling is not something that you want to play around with."

And he feels the Jewish community is underfunding and under-utilizing this vital resource.
Hillel's $17 million overall budget, including activities on more than 100 campuses and Joel's headquarters in Washington, means that barely more than $40 is spent for each of the 400,000 Jewish college students Hillel is mandated to serve.
While the issues related to intermarriage and identity grouped under the rubric "Jewish continuity" have leaped to the top of the Jewish communal agenda since the release of the 1990 National Jewish Population Study, Hillel funding has so far shown no such leap.
Like other Jewish agencies, Hillel has suffered from the current recession and the fundraising campaign to resettle Jews from the former Soviet Union, which have reduced its income from Jewish federations.
What has brought Hillel's funding problems to the fore, however, has been deep cuts from its parent organization, which is suffering serious, and some fear irreversible, financial difficulties. In the past two years, B'nai B'rith has cut back its funding of Hillel by $1.1 million, nearly a third, to roughly $2.6 million.
This has translated into across-the-board cuts to campuses across the country, and the closing of Hillel houses at some smaller schools.
Across the country, Hillels have laid off program staff. And Hillel directors are putting their energies into fundraising, at the expense of promoting Jewish activities and outreach to students.
All this at a time when Hillel professionals are reporting an upsurge of student interest in their programs – perhaps, the professionals say, because of a renewed search for spirituality that has swept the nation or perhaps because of an increased interest in Israel. This new interest only adds to the need for increased funding.
But Joel hopes to turn the crisis of the decline of B'nai B'rith, the world's oldest fraternal Jewish organization, into an opportunity for the organization he has headed for the past four years.
"My concern is that the community not perceive its challenge as saying how do we make up B'nai B'rith money," he said. "If we set our sights on ensuring we are as poorly funded as we have been, we might as well close up shop.
"To continue to do triage work on campus, with much too little support, is absolutely criminal when the community has identified the campus as necessary," Joel said.
Joel, a former assistant district attorney in the Bronx and dean of Yeshiva University's Cardozo Law School, is starting to take his case to the community.
"I wouldn't say it is now or never," said Joel. "But this year, and this (General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations), is a watershed in terms of refocusing on the community's responsibilities."
Joel was referring to the central gathering of the Jewish communal and organizational world, which begins Nov. 10 in New York.
Immediately following the assembly, the CJF will hold the first meeting of its national task force on the campus.
Norbert Fruehauf, the CJF official staffing the task force, explains its purpose as working with "federations and the national agencies serving college students to provide expanded programing on campus, additional resources and more planning.
"It also aims to involve students in their respective communities, and have federations engage in more planning with the university campuses and to set up some sort of an approved system for resource allocation in the country."
Joel is pleased by the creation of the task force, but impatient.
"One of the issues from my end is how do you provoke this community into not processing everything to death? I think the task force is an effort to not just paper over the problem, but I'm really chomping at the bit," he said.
Joel talks of doubling Hillel's budget, perhaps over a five-year period. He is stepping up Hillel fund raising, which marks a departure from the organization's tradition of relying on, and not competing with, B'nai B'rith.
"Hillel may separate from B'nai B'rith, even lose all that funding, in the next year, rather than go down with ship," said one Hillel director on condition of anonymity.
Currently, the B'nai B'rith contribution is down to one-seventh of Hillel's budget. The new Hillel logo identifies the organization as "The Foundation of the Campus Jewish Community" but does not mention B'nai B'rith.
At the same time, if Joel is to succeed, federation funding, which currently is nearly half of the Hillel budget, must increase.
Joel says it is a necessary investment. "If the community is concerned about continuity and identity, it knows that Hillel has the credibility, "he said.
"Clearly we could do more with enhanced staff and funding," said Rabbi Paul Saiger, Hillel director at the University of Rochester in upstate New York. "There may well be 50 percent of the students who, by the time they hit college, really will not be affected by Jewish approaches. But the other 50 will, and in no place where you have one or two people trying to deal with a thousand, 3,000 students, can you do the job that has to be done."
At Ohio's Oberlin College, Rabbi Shimon Brand agrees. "If I had more staff, I would have people in dormitories, doing the one-to-one stuff we don't have time to do. The really effective work is person-intensive."
At the largest American federation, Jeffrey Solomon is hesitant to accept Hillel's claims on face value. Solomon, the chief operating officer for program services at UJA-Federation of New York, notes that Hillel has become an increasing priority and taken an increasing proportion of his federation's allocations.
But he cautions that "one has to do significantly more research before one draws any conclusion on the subject. We don't know continuity will be enhanced. We believe it, but we need a lot more research."
Joel counters that Hillel's own task force on outreach has already developed an inventory of successful programs and an agenda of piloting new and innovative programs.
If continuity is not the foremost buzzword in the Jewish establishment and at the federations' General Assembly, the honor goes to continental responsibility: the notion that problems facing American Jews cannot be solved on a city by city basis, that Jews in Texas should be no more left to their own resources than those in Tel Aviv or Tashkent.
This notion is enshrined for the first time in by-laws of the Council of Jewish Federations that are expected to be approved at the General Assembly.
And it is an idea high on Hillel's agenda. Currently, the bulk of the roughly $8 million of federation money that goes to Hillel is allocated by federations to campuses either in their community or in their state.
This system, however, does not take into account the fact that students do not always go where there are federations to finance their Jewish life on campus.
One of the most striking examples is at Binghamton University (formerly the State University of New York, Binghamton campus), in central New York State.
Binghamton has 4,000 Jewish students, a third of the campus, most from New York City and its environs. The actual Binghamton Jewish community numbers only 5,000, and, not surprisingly, can afford to contribute only $7,000 to Jewish activity on campus.
To make matters worse, Binghamton was never a recipient of B'nai B'rith money, and first became formally affiliated with Hillel two years ago, when it received a three-year annual grant of $7,000.
This enabled the Jewish Student Union to become a Hillel, and hire Riva Rittberg as its director. She receives a part-time salary, but puts in far more hours than that, trying to raise the money to keep activities going and ensure they continue when the Hillel grant concludes.
"This is an institutional problem," said Joel. "The closest federation, New York, says we're really committed to students, but Binghamton is outside of our catchment area."
At New York's UJA-Federation, Solomon said his organization had to draw the line.
"New York Is blessed with having a number of world class campuses, and having students from around the country that come to New York. Under the current system, we do our fair share by funding the New York campuses."
But he agreed with Joel that the system could be improved, that "continental responsibility is a way of equitably dealing with the issues of funding campuses."
As Joel put it, "The Jewish community has to decide if they want to make the campus a place where youth can grapple with their Jewishness, or close their eyes to it."

Senate aims to protect women by raising standards on abortion clinics
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Actions taken Tuesday by the Alabama Senate will help women seeking abortions in Alabama are one step closer to having new and important medical safeguards after final passage of the Women's Health and Safety Act (House Bill 57), a measure sponsored by Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin (R - Indian Springs) and handled in the Alabama Senate by Sen. Scott Beason (R-Gardendale) will substantially raise the standards of treatment, care and aftercare in abortion clinics throughout Alabama. The bill goes back to the House for their concurrence to an amendment that was adopted in the Senate.
Statistics show that abortion centers, on average, operate at an alarming level of non-compliance with acceptable standards of medical care, putting abortion patients at unreasonable risk.
The Women's Health and Safety Act will require abortion clinics to meet the same standards as emergency health care centers, especially since invasive procedures are involved, and would place stronger requirements on doctors who perform the procedures.{} Additionally, provisions in the bill would require clinics to report the names of minors who seek an abortion.
The legislation also provides strong enforcement mechanisms against abortion clinics unable or unwilling to meet the reasonable and medically appropriate health and safety standards set for these facilities.
"Though I and my colleagues are committed opponents of legalized abortion, and we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed, the U.S. Supreme Court has sadly allowed it to remain the law of the land, so we must do everything possible to ensure the procedure is performed in a safe and healthy environment that is also prepared for emergencies that may arise," Sen. Beason said.{}
"As lawmakers, it is our charge to make sure that dangerous, unregulated, fly-by-night clinics will be shut down because, sadly, the State of Alabama has more health regulations in place to protect your cat or dog at a vet clinic," said Senate Majority Leader Sen. Jabo Waggoner (R-Vestavia Hills). "With passage of this legislation this will change forever.{} I am very pleased that this legislation passed overwhelmingly and has been so strongly supported by concerned citizens from all over Alabama," Waggoner said.

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem calls Israel's treatment of Palestinians "genocide," while "Wonder Woman" actress Gal Gadot sends her "love and prayers" to Israeli soldiers in Gaza.
One Direction singer Zayn Malik, a Muslim born in England, received online death threats for tweeting #FreePalestine, a hashtag that Barbados-born singer Rihanna also tweeted but quickly deleted.
Celebs are using social media accounts, which are essential for building their show business brands, as political platforms that can cause a negative buzz.
Veteran Hollywood publicist Michael Levine cautions clients to be careful about stepping into the public relations controversies that surround any comment on Israel-Gaza crisis.
"Twitter has proven to be a minefield for celebrities," Levine said Tuesday. "It provides celebrities with an opportunity to make any number of careless mistakes that can come back to haunt them. But in a war environment, where emotions are so high and people are seeing pictures on CNN of babies dying and crying, it's particularly incendiary."
The 140 characters in a Twitter posting are "like you're burping out thoughts," Levine said.
For Malik, it was a hashtag -- #FreePalestine -- the caused an uproar on Sunday. Only 14 characters, it delivered a message of sympathy for residents of Gaza to his 13 million followers that was retweeted more than 200,000 times over the next 24 hours.
The responses ranged from followers saying they were "proud of Zayn" to tweets calling on the singer to "kill himself." Some Israeli fans declared disappointment in the music idol.
Malik hasn't tweeted since, and his publicist declined to comment.
The Twitterverse controversy Rihanna stirred up this summer with messages of support for opponents of the U.S. World Cup team is nothing compared with the reaction to her #FreePalestine tweet on July 15. She deleted it just eight minutes later, but some of her 36 million followers grabbed it first. A source close to the singer explained that it was not an intentional tweet.
It was soon replaced by this less divisive message: "Let's pray for peace and a swift end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict! Is there any hope?...."
The fast deletion was followed by controversy and debate. One fan tweeted, "What's the point in being rich & famous if you can't publicly stand up for what's right?"
Bardem's condemnation of Israel was not a spontaneous or accidental message. The actor sent a 400-word letter to Spanish newspapers last week titled "Genocide."
"In the horror that is happening in Gaza, there is no room for distance or neutrality," Bardem wrote. "It is an occupational war and an extermination one against a town with no means, confined to minimum territory, without water and where hospitals, ambulances and children are targets and alleged terrorists. It is difficult to understand and impossible to justify. And it is embarrassing that the position of the Western international community is allowing such genocide."
Bardem followed it with a similar "open letter" also signed by others, including his wife, Oscar-winning actress Penelope Cruz, and Oscar-winning director Pedro Almodovar.
Gal Gadot, the actress cast as the new incarnation of Wonder Woman, used her Facebook page to show support for Israel. Her posting is not a surprise, considering she served in the Israeli army and represented her country as Miss Israel.
"I am sending my love and prayers to my fellow Israeli citizens," Gadot wrote. "Especially to all the boys and girls who are risking their lives protecting my country against the horrific acts conducted by Hamas, who are hiding like cowards behind women and children...We shall overcome!!! Shabbat Shalom! #weareright #freegazafromhamas #stopterror #coexistance #loveidf"
Sometimes it is silence that speaks. Levine said that some of Hollywood's most prominent Jews, who are "very politically active for liberal causes," have "not said a word of support of Israel" concerning the crisis.
CNN's Carolyn Sung and Elwyn Lopez contributed to this report.

Alice Su – Middle East Monitor – Friday, 13 September 2013 (originally published 10 Sept)
Sally Ahmed Zarir works in a newsroom inside a refugee camp. Zarqa, Jordan's industrial centre 12 miles northeast of Amman, is home to over 50 per cent of Jordanian's factories, a 15.9 per cent unemployment rate, and the country's oldest Palestinian refugee camp.
24 year-old Zarir is one of fifteen women who report and produce Hona Zarqa, a biweekly newspaper and weekly radio program based in the United Nations Refugee Works Agency (UNRWA) camp.
Originally set up in 1949, the camp now hosts more than 20,000 refugees and a women's center teaching life skills, computer training and offering psychological counseling. Since January, the center has also become headquarters for a group of local women reporters. They range from 18 to 40 years old. Most are Palestinian; all were born and raised in Zarqa . . .

Having grown up in a family of truck drivers, OurStage artist Kate Tucker seems to have inherited from them a sixth sense for the state of the nation. It's a type of understanding that isn't based on national polls or facts, but on the accumulation of individual tales that, when woven together, depict the full American canvas. On her latest album, Ghost of Something New, Tucker offers acute insights into the national mood through intimate stories of love gone awry. Melancholy, yet hopeful, the collection of songs is at once a rumination on failed previous relationships as well as a depiction of a country that similarly cannot stop contemplating its own path and past.
In Tucker's lyrics, descriptions of romantic disappointment continuously spill over into distinctly American despair. When she sings Baby what you're saying / It ain't worth a dime / One more deal on main street / And you'll be doing time, the empty promises of a dishonest lover sound unmistakably like the deceitful Wall Street dealings that spawned recent financial crises. Populist rhetoric reminiscent of the occupy camps appears over the rollicking drum beat of "Revolution" as well; the singer asks her lover, Don't you want to start it / Start a revolution / Take it down to Houston? While Tucker's narrators may cling to the particularly American belief that it is always possible to start anew, they are more likely to ruminate on the improbability of that same dream, falling "back into the distance / Searching for some old ancient truth."
Like her aimlessly wandering lovers who vainly mine the past for guidance, Tucker's America can only weakly imitate its own outdated victories. Ubiquitous pop clichés are repeated in strange semantic inversions ("I'm gonna get you over") and familiar instrumental conventions of folk and Americana emerge from the arrangements like ghostly spectres. Lap steel and harmonica hide in the background mix while weary, fuzzed-out electric guitars languish in gallons of reverb. Over the swell, Tucker delivers her lyrics in a breathy alto, at times no louder than a hushed whisper. While this all may give the impression that Ghost of Something New is disconsolate and moody, the album doesn't discount hope as an impossible commodity. As the closing track "New Orleans" builds to a climax, its single-note piano line becomes subtly dissonant and faltering, but doesn't fall apart completely. It holds on until the last moment in order to deliver a final delicate chord. In this moment, missteps don't seem fatal, and the future isn't bound inextricably to failures of the past. It's a muted type of hope, but it exists, and it's as much as the lovelorn narrators of Tuckers songs can continue to long for.

São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, 2011/07/19 - Embraer Takes Off to Oshkosh - EmbraerExecutiveJets.com / Embraer.com. NYSE: ERJ; Bovespa: EMBR3
Embraer will be present for the sixth consecutive year at the Experimental Aircraft Associations (EAA) AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The annual event, in its 59th edition, is one of the worlds most famous international gatherings for aviation enthusiasts, and will be held July 25-31, from 9:00 am. to 5:00 pm. For the third consecutive year, a Phenom 100 entry level jet will be displayed at the show, as well as a Phenom 300 light jet for a second year at the Companys location: static #347, at ConocoPhillips Plaza.
At this years show, Embraer is showcasing the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300. The Phenom 100 we have on display belongs to Purdue University and has been in operation since December 2010 for use in business travel and as a way to enable the students in the professional flight technology program to graduate with a jet flight rating as part of their undergraduate experience, said Ernest Edwards, President, Embraer Executive Jets. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Dean Gary Bertoline, Mike Suckow, and the rest of the Department of Aviation Technology at Purdues College of Technology for the use of their airplane this week. With the addition of the Embraer Phenom 100 to our fleet, the vision of every student flies a jet has become a reality, said Mike Suckow, Purdues associate professor of aviation technology and assistant department for air operations. AirVenture continues to play an important role to us each year and certainly has contributed to the success we have had with the Phenom 100 being the most delivered business jet in 2010, continues Edwards. Additionally, the Phenom 300 continues to have worldwide acceptance including national and regional fractional companies such as Executive Air Share, Flight Options, and NetJets. The Phenom 300 has also been presented Flying Magazines 2011 Editors Choice award.
Embraer will host a press briefing on Wednesday, July 27, at 7:45 am. at the Companys outdoor booth #347. Embraer will provide an update to the media on the Companys comprehensive portfolio and advancing programs. Mr. Edwards will present the latest achievements of the Companys expanded executive jets portfolio, consisting of the entry level Phenom 100, the light Phenom 300, the midlight Legacy 450, the midsize Legacy 500, the super midsize Legacy 600, the large Legacy 650, and the ultra-large Lineage 1000 jets.
The Phenom programs have received much attention over the last six years. The Phenom 100 was launched in 2005 and achieved full FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) certification in December 2008 with customer deliveries beginning the same month. Last year, 100 of these entry level jets were delivered and currently, there are over 200 Phenom 100 aircraft in service around the world.
The Phenom 300 has the largest cabin volume in the light jet category, comfortably accommodating up to ten occupants in an executive seating layout. Launched in 2005, the light jet began deliveries in December 2009 one year after the first Phenom 100 customers received their aircraft. In 2010, 26 light jet aircraft were delivered and currently there are over 40 Phenom 300 aircraft in service around the world. For more about Embraer Executive Jets, visit EmbraerExecutiveJets.com/.

The Fiscal Impact of Population Aging in Germany
Previous studies have shown that population aging has severe consequences for public spending. However, in welfare states with a federal budget structure, population aging will affect the levels of government to differing degrees. This article focuses on the impact of population aging on the fiscal system of the Federal Republic of Germany. The analysis draws upon profiles for public transfer flows by single years of age to illustrate the impact of age structure changes on the cost and revenue structures at the different levels of government. The results show that Länder and local governments are likely to achieve cost reductions while the federal budget and social security will face higher expenditures because of the increasing number of elderly people. This study provides valuable information on the age utilization of public flows and on the need for restructuring the allocation rules for government revenues and expenditures across levels of government.

|The Hain Celestial Group's labeling declares major allergens (peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, crustaceans, tree nuts, and wheat) and we follow the U.S. FDA's regulations. We recognize the serious nature of the allergen issue and we strive to minimize risk.
Both major and minor ingredients of all products, as well as all processing procedures and equipment, are closely scrutinized and all potential allergen issues as determined by the Hain Celestial Group are declared on our labeling.
Mom to one happy Senorcito (06/09) ... allergic to wheat, nuts, dairy, eggs, sesame, peas and soy.
Call and see if you get a better answer. I've never known anyone who did. They don't have a good reputation as being a food allergy friendly company to put it mildly.
I would not risk their products with my son.
Do you need sources of gluten free staples? I had to do that with my nut allergic son so I do have many. Anything in particular you need?

I'm most in need of general baking flours and such. I use Bobs Mill flour for myself. I don't have related allergies (just shellfish), but I'm breastfeeding my allergic son so I have to be careful. He's almost a year old, so I'm trying to expand his food choices. With his birthday coming up, it would also be nice to bake him something. I'm just not all that optimistic about finding a safe flour source. He's definately allergic to wheat, peanuts, dairy, eggs, soy, coconut, and sesame seeds. He didn't test positve for tree nut allergies, but due to his peanut score being so high, the allergist wanted us to avoid all nuts.
Mom to one happy Senorcito (06/09) ... allergic to wheat, nuts, dairy, eggs, sesame, peas and soy.
Rob Red Mills gluten free line (entire line) is produced on shared equipment with nuts. They told me their gluten free products (flours, starches, etc.) aren't safe for my nut and sesame allergic son. If you're avoiding nuts I would avoid those flours.
Sesame cross reacts with cashew and pistachio so there is reason to avoid those at least until he's older imo and can tell you whether he is reacting.
Ms. Roben's produces allergy safe flours and starches and other baking supplies. Cherrybrook kitchen gluten free mixes are, I'm pretty certain, safe with your son's allergies. I used them for my son's birthday cake soon after he was dx'd. You can make him a safe cake. I'm sure you can. Be careful with your oils when baking for him. Do you have trace safe oils? All of mine were crossed with nuts or sesame. Does your son tolerate ghee? My son did with a dairy allergy but I know not everyone does. If so Purity Farms is an allergen free ghee (ghee is derived from dairy but with all protein removed so some dairy allergic handle it fine). Bionaturae olive oil was safe when I called but I don't think olive oil sounds great in a cake. You could do apple sauce or something like that as a fat sub perhaps.

I know I made a peanut, treenut, soy, milk, egg, wheat free cupcake for my DD when she turned one. I have no experience avoiding coconut and sesame though. Lots of recipes out there once you find the safe ingredients.
Good Luck!

I actually already have a new coffee bean grinder for the purpose of grinding flour for my son! Problem was, I was trying to find stuff safe enough to grind in the thing. I already have Lundenberg brown rice,too, so that works out great! Tonight, I tested it out and made some rice flour. I mixed the flour with water, banana, and baking powder (gluten and nut free according to the label) and made pancakes. The boy loved them. He would have eaten the whole batch, but I wanted to hold back and see how his system handled them first. Hopefully, the kid isn't allergic to corn!
Considering my son broke out in hives immediately after touching milk (and scored 5 out of 6 on the RAST blood test), I don't want to try the ghee at the moment. We'll have to figure out something else.
The oil thing is something that's bothering me. My son seemed to react to some food I had cooked in canola oil, awhile back, and I realized it could be cross contaminated. Right now, I'm using a generic olive oil for everything which seems ok. I'm just at a loss as to how to cook without dairy or soy butter and without vegetable oils. Another thing that makes me nervous is spices. I've started an herb garden this spring, but it will take awhile for things to grow in. Are there completely safe spice sources out there?
Thanks for all the help so far

Mom to one happy Senorcito (06/09) ... allergic to wheat, nuts, dairy, eggs, sesame, peas and soy.
And Authentic Foods http://authenticfoods.com/ has no nuts or seeds run on same equip, their almond flour explanation:
|The almond flour is milled in a gluten free facility outside of my plant. The Almond is packaged on its own line preventing any contamination.
The only sesame safe spice company is McCormick. I called/did a lot of research on this. McCormick does process sesame on lines (they all do) but they treat it like an allergen and do extensive wet cleaning. The other companies don't.
|What this means is that stringent processes are in place during product handling, processing and packaging which prevent allergen contamination in products that normally do not contain the big 8 allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans), sulfites as well as sesame seeds which the Canadian food inspection agency considers an allergen.
What do you think of Frontier?
I got a reply that (in bold, all caps) their products are not safe for my son or anyone with a sesame allergy. I was livid. I'd bought many things in the meanwhile and I had to get rid of all my spices. My son stopped reacting. I'm still angry about it.
I was later told that McCormick is the only wet clean place by someone who called to ask about cleaning procedures. I did not verify that myself. I may.
I wouldn't use them with allergies given the reply I got. I may contact them again for clarification because the website statement would lead a person to believe they are safe. It lead me that way. But their written reply to me was pretty adamant and specific. I don't get it. I originally intended to write them and request refunds for the products I had purchased after I was told they were safe on the phone and before I was told via email they were not safe. I won't do that now but I may contact them again to complain and ask for specific clarification. My house is clear of frontier/simply organic. I had big money in their products.

My daughter (age 2, known food allergies include dairy, peanuts, almonds, egg, lentils, peas, garlic...) had a severe reaction (2 hours of heavy vomiting) to Arrowhead Mills Steel Cut Oatmeal in December 2012. Their labeling does not indicate any possibility of cross-contamination. I called later and was told (after a lot of dodging the question) that all of their products are produced on shared equipment with known allergens. I wish I had called before we tried it, but we're still fairly new at this. Lesson learned. Now I ALWAYS call. Bob's Red Mill was essentially the same story, although they did give me a detailed account of how the equipment is cleaned.
Quaker assures no possibility of cross contamination.
I prefer organic, but so many organic products seem to be produced on shared equipment with the top allergens. It's become difficult to serve anything that isn't just fresh produce - which isn't the worst thing, but it would still be nice to have some other safe options.
It can be difficult to track down information. Lots of e-mailing and slow response time. I've learned not to make any assumptions.
Thank you for posting this thread... I'm grateful for any insight... Going to try grinding my own flour (as recommended below)...
FWIW, Cross contamination and shared equipment statements are voluntary and do not have to be on anything at all. I believe AM is part of Haine's and they are notorious for being doggie about allergy information. There are a lot of good companies out there who are reputable and have good practices. Kids with Food allergies has a lot of parents with a lot of great information on products and companies (though they will always say CALL for your own allergy set because everyone varies). Again some companies are better than others! Turtle Mt. is really good about testing between batches and will tell you the process they use, others won't give you the time of day.

Investors face a turbulent new era in which oil prices will soar and the economy will face a severe energy crisis according to Stephen Leeb, investment advisor and author of a new book entitled "The Oil Factor: How Oil Controls the Economy and Your Financial Future."
Oil is key to every facet of the economy and has been overlooked in importance over the last several decades. While oil prices fluctuated around the $20 a barrel level in the 1990's the energy markets are about to get much more exciting according to Leeb – and volatile.
In his book Leeb claims it is essential that investors grasp the following realities:
* For the last thirty years the price of crude oil is the single most important determinant of the market and the economy. Sharp rises in oil prices have been deadly for the stock market and for the economy. Level or declining oil prices have correlated with an expanding economy and rising stock market.
* The U.S. has more or less ceded control over oil prices to third parties over the last thirty years – mainly OPEC countries – that act as swing producers and influence global energy prices.
* Crude oil production in the U.S. began to decline in the early 1970's, and many of the larger fields worldwide are mature and peaking or themselves in decline. Because of the importance of energy to the economy, we now exercise little control over our economic fate – and by extension the stock market.
* This situation is about to shift from bad to worse as for all practical purposes crude oil supplies are peaking. Demand for crude oil continues to expand in both the U.S. and in developing countries such as China.
* The fate of the U.S. economy hangs in the balance – at the mercy of a few nations with excess crude oil productive capacity – countries that may not share the same interests or goals as the U.S.
Leeb points out that oil supplies around 40% of U.S. energy demand. While the economy uses energy much more efficiently than it did several decades ago, the bottom line is that economic growth requires the use of more energy to produce that growth.
With additional demands on the crude oil markets from strongly growing economies (like China's) demand for oil continues to increase year after year. A growing world economy will demand that more energy be consumed.
Coupled with the fact that many oil fields are mature and are nearing their peak production rates – worldwide crude oil supply is expected to plateau then begin to decline. Plenty of oil is left in the ground, but extracting it will prove to be more difficult as reserves are depleted and the easy, most accessible oil, has been produced.
* Crude Oil Allocated by Price
As supply is constrained and demand continues to grow the resource will be allocated by price – or by force – according to Leeb. Whether we experience inflation or deflation will depend on how fast oil prices rise.
A quick rise in oil prices will cause deflation – it will stall the economy and the massive debt levels will create a deflationary environment. If oil prices rise steadily, Leeb sees inflation as the main issue investors must face.
Looking at historical data Leeb claims that when oil prices increase greater than 80% in the previous 12 months investors would do best by selling their equities and shifting their assets to deflation hedges such as bonds, or into cash.
When oil prices increase less than 20% he advises to invest in the equity markets in inflationary plays such as gold, defense or real estate stocks, and in energy firms.
Natural gas will be "among the best investments you can make in energy patch" – while coal, nuclear, solar, wind, and conservation will have relatively limited impact as a solution to the energy problems.
And in an inflationary environment small cap stocks will outperform the larger companies such as those in the S&P 500 index, Leeb claims, as they have historically
* Good Analysis of the Impact of Oil Prices
Leeb does an excellent job of focusing on how higher energy prices could impact the economy and on the investment implications. In previous books he has been very astute at identifying long term trends that could impact the investor, and it appears to have repeated that theme in his latest book.
If he his correct, higher energy prices will have a significant impact on our lifestyle, our economy, and our investments. The book is well worth the price.

Man builds working Game Boy guitar because why not
Guitars are pretty cool and all, but you ve probably never though about using one as a Game Boy. That is, unless you ve built yourself a Guitar Boy. Fibbef, an enterprising admin on the BitFixGaming boards, decided to solve the problem of jamming to 8bit tunes and playing Pokemon on the same device, so he fashioned himself a working electric guitar and Game Boy all in one. It basically looks like an oversized Gameboy with a guitar neck, and it's surprisingly functional. The buttons on the device all work to control your games, and the A/B buttons even double as volume and… This story continues at The Next Web

32. David3 SHIPMAN (John2, Edward1) was born in Saybrook, New Haven County, Connecticut August 9, 1692.(41) David died after 1780 in New Jersey.
He married Sarah WILLIAMS circa 1719 in New Jersey. Sarah was born circa 1697. Sarah was the daughter of Samuel WILLIAMS and Esther WHEELER.
David emigrated to the Newark, New Jersey area about 1718. Due to the loss of many records of this area during the Revolutionary War, it has been extremely difficult to accurately identify all of the children and grandchildren of David. He is believed by many to be the progenitor of an extensive line who lived in Essex, Morris, and Union Counties in New Jersey for the next two hundred years. Research is continuing in an attempt to clarify the Shipman Family lineage in New Jersey during the pre-Revolutionary War era.
The Last Will and Testament of David Williams (1703-1781), dated 12 October 1777 and proved 14 March 1782 (New Jersey Wills, Volume 23, Page 446), names as an heir "my brother in the law David Shipman". This corroborates other evidence that David Williams's sister, Sarah, is the wife of David Shipman.

Sports Related Brain Trauma on the Rise in Children
Fox News reports that the number of visits to the emergency room for children with sports related traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, has dramatically risen. This claim is backed by recent research that was conducted from 2002 through 2011 and published in the medical journal Pediatrics.
Sports TBI Study Research and Findings
- Researchers in the study analyzed data on 3,800 children and teenagers that reported to a Cincinnati hospital with sports-related TBIs.
- During the nine year period that the study was conducted, the number of TBI related emergency room visits increased by 92 percent. Other research supports that TBIs may have negative lasting impacts on children's health.
- Moreover, there are now more children being admitted into the hospital for TBI related injuries. Ten percent of children remain under hospital care being admitted for the injuries. The hospital admissions rise is increasing proportionally with increased emergency room visits. 85 percent is the overall increase recorded over the study in sport-related TBI hospital admissions.
Leading Cuases and Contributing Factors for TBI Increase in Children
- The leading causes for TBIs in children include sports such as football, skateboarding, roller blading, sledding, and skiing.
- There are suggestions by medical professionals that the increase in TBI hospital visits may be due in part to parents and caregivers knowing more about the warming signs of TBIs and taking quick action to getting their child care.
- Additionally, the CDC and NFL have made strides to educating the public on such injuries with the Heads Up campaign.
Information on Traumatic Brain Injuries
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
- Traumatic brain injury is a serious health problem in the United States.
- Approximately 1.7 million TBIs occur each year, contributing to more than 30 percent of all injury-related deaths in the U.S.
- A TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain.
- Children aged 0 to 4 years, older adolescents aged 15 to 19 years, and adults aged 65 years and older are most likely to sustain a TBI.
- Almost half a million (473,947) emergency department visits for TBI are made annually by children aged 0 to 14 years.
- Adults aged 75 years and older have the highest rates of TBI-related hospitalization and death.

A policeman was found shot dead in his home in Mount Fletcher yesterday.
Warrant Officer Khanyisile Gwanisheni, 44, – who had been with the police for 18 years – was found with three bullet wounds to his chest at 6am, Brigadier Marinda Mills said. His 9mm service pistol had been stolen.
No arrests had been made by by late last night.
Provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Celiwe Binta said the crime would not deter police from their duty to protect the public.
"Police officials will always be targeted by criminals and as much as a loss of one of our own has a negative impact on the day to day fight against crime, we will not be demoralised and will continue to be the protective blue line between our communities and criminals."
Meanwhile, fallen Willowvale Police Constable Xolisa Somana (32) was buried at Gobe Village, in Centane yesterday. Somana was shot dead while on duty on Monday 09 July 2012.
Somana was killed when he and a collegue stopped near three suspects who were suspected of robbing a man of his cellphone along Main Street in Willowvale shortly before 6pm. The men opened fire, hitting Somana, who died instantly.
They then fled into a forest surrounding Willowvale and disappeared. No arrests have been made.
