WASHINGTON — For most of their 59-minute flight, from Newark to a spot five miles northeast of a runway in Buffalo on Feb. 12, the two pilots of Continental Connection Flight 3407 chatted happily about career options, family plans and the merits of various kinds of airplanes.
The captain, Marvin D. Renslow, regaled his first officer, Rebecca Shaw, with the story of how wide his passengers' eyes grew one day when he called maintenance to the plane after a light in the cockpit signaled loose metal chips in the engine.
Some of the banter violated federal rules banning nonessential conversation below 10,000 feet. Some of the talk was serious. The pilots spoke of the ice they saw gathering on the windshield of their commuter plane, and of their apprehension during previous brushes with ice. They prepared for landing.
Then, at 10:16 p.m., crisis struck. The stick shaker — part of a safety system that warns the crew if the plane is about to stall — began vibrating vigorously. A horn went off in the cockpit. The talk turned clipped and urgent.
"Jesus Christ," Captain Renslow said. "We're down." There was a scream.
Twenty-six seconds after the alarms went off, Flight 3407 plunged into a house in Clarence, N.Y., killing all 49 people aboard and a man on the ground, in the nation's deadliest transportation accident in more than seven years.Continue reading the main story
A transcript of those words and sounds, captured by the cockpit voice recorder, was released during a hearing Tuesday as the National Transportation Safety Board began three days of inquiry into the causes of the crash. An animation of the flight's last minutes was shown. Relatives of the victims watched intently.
And officials of Colgan Air, the company that operated the Continental flight, offered startling testimony that pointed fingers at their own pilots.
John Erwin Barrett, the airline's director of flight standards, said neither pilot in the twin-engine turboprop was paying attention to the flight instruments. A month after the crash, he said, a Colgan crew in the same model plane, a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 on approach to Burlington, Vt., received the same warning of a stall, and recovered smoothly, landing without incident.
"When they received the stall warning they were alert and ready to react," Mr. Barrett said of the crew in Vermont. But in the February crash, he said, "the crew was not ready to respond to a stall warning when it was activated — it kind of caught them by surprise."
The airline's director of operations, Dean Bandavanis, said he thought the crew lacked "integrity," which he defined as "doing the right thing when nobody's watching."
The pilots' chatting obviously violated Federal Aviation Administration rules that ban nonessential conversation when a plane is below 10,000 feet, as the Continental flight was as Captain Renslow asked about Ms. Shaw's head cold.
The pilots — clearly distracted — let their speed drop too low, and failed to notice, according to documents released Tuesday by the safety board. The stick shaker began vibrating, alerting them to an impending stall, a combination of air speed and aircraft angle that causes the wings to lose lift. And, the documents show, Captain Renslow did exactly the wrong thing; he pulled back on the control yoke, to raise the nose, rather than pushing forward to lower it.
The safety board, though, is exploring a variety of issues beyond the crew's inattention. Among them is the training the pilots received for handling stalls, and whether the airline acted properly in keeping Captain Renslow on as a pilot. He had failed three "check-rides," or tests in a cockpit or a simulator, before working for Colgan — it said it knew of only one failure before it hired him — then failed two more while flying for Colgan. That many failures is unusual, a Colgan official conceded in testimony.
In a deposition released by the board, another Colgan official, Mr. Barrett, said that when pilots failed check-rides, Colgan had to decide whether to give more training or fire the pilot. He said he could not recall whether the company had evaluated Mr. Renslow's repeated failures.
Cockpit voice recordings are ordinarily transcribed only after an incident or crash, and the transcripts often reveal irrelevant conversation. Safety officials increasingly complain about the difficulty of eliminating human error and a common contributor, inattention.
Many recent crashes have raised questions about training and judgment, as opposed to mechanical failure — for example, the crash of another twin-engine turboprop, in Kirksville, Mo., in 2004, in which the crew violated operating rules and joked and yawned as they descended into the trees. The pilot of American Airlines Flight 587, which crashed in Queens in November 2001, used the rudder in a way that made the plane swing back and forth until the tail broke off.
In the Buffalo flight, safety board investigators say the pilot and his first officer had set themselves up for problems before they even arrived for work.
Captain Renslow had flown to Newark from his home in Florida the previous evening and had apparently slept in the crew lounge of Newark Liberty International Airport, a room not much different from a frequent-flier club lounge. Pilots are warned not to try to sleep there, under threat of dismissal.
Other pilots interviewed by board investigators said that Captain Renslow had discussed renting a "crash pad" to sleep at near the airport, though he never did.
First Officer Shaw had left her home in Maple Valley, near Seattle, and taken an evening flight in the cockpit of a FedEx cargo jet to Memphis. Then, in the middle of the night, she transferred to the cockpit of another plane bound for Newark.
Investigators said it was not clear whether either pilot could have gotten any sleep during the day of the flight.
According to board officials, at one point Colgan Air warned crew members who lived far from Newark not to try to fly in the same day a shift began. But the airline's most recent instructions to pilots do not include that warning.
In February, of the 137 pilots working for Colgan in Newark, 93 identified themselves as living far away, according to the board.
The safety board, which is simply gathering evidence in the hearings, will probably not issue a report until early next year.Continue reading the main story

Way too fast. It appears to already be fall.
I was actually looking up at glory this morning and there actually seems to be some pretty good looking rock. Any ever made any efforts to climb anything up there. Even if there were just a handful of routes, it would be a decent alternative thats a bit closer to town than some other areas.

Is there an all natural product that is safe to put on baby's face, in case he rubs it into his eyes or mouth? I've been using coconut oil, cacao butter, shea butter etc., but there have been times when baby's face was really broken out that I just felt unsure about anything I was putting on it, not wanting to make it worse!
Aveeno cream seems helpful, but is that ok for use on face? I haven't been able to find one here that is specifically for use on face.
When I google eczema face, there is a product that comes up called Dr. Wheatgrass, which claims impressive results. Has anyone ever heard of this, and does it actually work?
Hello 1iberty! I'm new to this forum :) A little introduction: I'm a mother to a three-year old boy who has eczema so maybe I can help you with this one.
I understand why you're concerned with what to put on your baby's face. I'm sure that this is a concern of many mommies out there who only want what's best for their little one! Anyway, I have a few suggestions for you which you can try :)
- Oatmeal Mask - Soak a cup of raw oatmeal in bowl of cool or lukewarm water. But I suggest you use boiling water to make sure the water is clean. When the raw oatmeal is puffy, drain the excess water from the bowl. Let it sit for a while to cool (if you used boiling water). Then, squeeze out the excess water from the soaked oatmeal using your bare hands. Make sure you clean your hands before hand! Lastly, place the oatmeal on top of your baby's rashes. You can do this several times a day for a few days until you see an improvement. As much as possible, you can do this while he's sleeping
- You can also use the papaya paste and strawberry paste from this blog that I came across - http://hubpages.com/hub/Homemade-Eczema-Natural-Remedies. They're just as safe as the oatmeal mask I suggested.
Hey, let me know how things go okay? I may be needing your help in the future too. After all, both our children have eczema. Oh, by the way. I've heard about Aveeno products at Dr. Wheatgrass too. Sorry but I haven't tried these personally but I have heard they're mild. Not sure if they're safe around the eyes and mouth though.
- Amanda
I'm sorry but I don't think you should put strawberry or papaya on the baby's face, especially if there's broken skin! Papaya contains papain which can be used to tenderise meat! Strawberry is also quite acidic and it can sting, or make the baby's face more sensitive! If you really want to, please do a patch test first!
I know some people find huge relief with oatmeal bath, but I personally get rashes, so again, do a patch test.
That aside, Avene antibacterial repair cream (for babies and sensitive skins) has done wonders for my ds2 and it contains no fragrance or preservatives. It was recommended to another friend with eczem by her doctor. DS2's skin has improved tremendously in the past one year, but he has a persistent patch on his ankle that just would not heal. I was very cautious with it at first, applying it only to one small area and after I saw some improvement, I applied it on him two to three times a day and after two weeks, it has almost completely healed. I continue avoiding his allergens and paying due diligence with his daily skincare routine, but the repair cream has really helped to bring progress. He has eczema since one, he will be turning four soon.
If the skin is just dry and irritated, emu oil works great.
I blog about our life with food allergies and eosinophilic disorders.
Coconut oil can be great for eczema, apply several times a day. This was actually recommended to me by a ped.
Good little blog about eczema http://healthygreenmoms.com/how-i-finally-cured-my-babys-eczema-in-a-matter-of-days/
To get rid of the eczema, you need to figure out what is causing it, and remove those foods from the child's diet (or yours, if you're breastfeeding.)
I blog about our life with food allergies and eosinophilic disorders.
I find that many doctors describe a huge variety of skin condition under the label eczema and give blanket advice that may not be suitable for the individual. There's a big difference between dry atopic skin, a persistent allergic reaction, a persistent secondary fungal/bacterial infection and an acute flareup with weepy swollen areas. You can put many things on the skin when it's just dry and scaly, as long as your child is not allergic or sensitive to it. But if there is broken skin and the area around the broken skin looks puffy and red, just keep it clean and dry and maybe put some antispetic cream that your child will not react to. Believe me I learnt it the hard way and I've tried pricy organic virgin coconut oil besides many other natural remedies. If you want to, try it on a small area of UNbroken skin for a couple of days first to see if it's suitable. Great if it is, if it's not, there's less to deal with.
I agree about finding out what is causing it (foods, environmental) and removing them from the childs diet (and/or yours if you're BFing).

I wouldn't use papaya, strawberry or tea tree on a baby - all too strong. I use Weleda's calendula ointment and it's very soothing. I also give my DD baths with calendula flower infusion and sometimes ground up oats. Coconut oil is nice too as is shea butter. My favorite pre-made cream is from Bubble and Bee - the unscented body butter - very pure and safe.
deminc, is there a way to tell the difference between a flare-up with weepy swollen areas, and a persistent allergic reaction? The rash is primarily on cheeks beside the mouth, and sometimes on lips and eyelids. It isn't dry, and the coconut oil hasn't seemed to help.
Gosh, I'm not sure how to best answer this. Basically a swollen WEEPY area is an infected wound that you should treat immediately. If it's simply swollen, it can be an allergic reaction or it can be a low grade infection, or both.
I made many many mistakes with my kid; in my kid's case it was everything - food, environmental, and infections and it just kept flaring up, getting progressively worse each time because all we did was put moisturisers, trying natural remedies (generally herbal creams and oils), and then using steriods when we got desperate. Many doctors I brought him to gave us steriods and moisturisers and told me to hope he will outgrow it. He went from one affected ankle to two badly infected legs in one year.
So do guard against infections. They can make a bad situation simply unbearable.If the coconut oil is not helping, don't use it. Just keep the area clean and pat dry very gently. If your child tend to rub the face, you should clean the fingers and nails with antiseptic solution to prevent infecting any open skin. If the skin keeps flaring up again after healing, you have start looking for the triggers. Food triggers aside, I remember a mother whose child used to develop facial rashes and she later tracked it to some synthetic fabric in the face-clothes she was using. Consider the flare-up pattern - this will be unclear while there is an infection, but once the infection is treated and resolved, a pattern should emerge. One of my nephews can't use fleece. My son is allergic to dustmites, and I have to rewash his clothes if they have been in the closet for too long.
Are you sure its just eczema? A kid at my sons daycare had 'eczema' and within a week one of my kids came home with impetego! The daycare people said 'oh it's just eczema we don't need to send him home'. Anyways my kids had to do antibiotics for 10 days and I put tea tree oil on coconut oil on their skin. Luckily it was only a small patch on her face and I took her to the doctor that evening. If your baby has eczema it makes them really succeptable for infection from other bacteria, even normal flora so if there is any oozing or blistering it might be an infection on top of the eczema.
When my daughter was a baby there was a baby in her daycare that had eczema and it never got worse. His mom said she would squirt him in the face with breast milk and rub it in each time he nursed. I can't see that doing any harm!
be good family...
Thankyou deminc,
yes, I have been watching for triggers like a hawk! : ) There are some I've figured out, like soaps, perfumes, chemicals (like the formaldehyde and flame retardants that are sometimes on clothing) but I think there may be something to do with his digestive system: the spots on his skin will become red before he has a bowel movement sometimes, or sometimes redden immediately after nursing.
You said to guard against infection- that's why I was wondering if I could put something on his face even as a protective barrier. But I'm not sure about coconut oil, seeing as it is a nut, and I haven't identified food triggers...
I blog about our life with food allergies and eosinophilic disorders.
Plain vaseline. That is what we ended up using a lot for our one son who used to have eczema so bad it would get infected. At a certain point though, we did use the prescribed creams, sparingly, because you really do have to address the infection.
Also, for us, our son was severely allergic to grass and trees.... so..... playing outside, in whatever was out in the yard..... was part of it. We already had eliminated the food he was allergic to.
But, really, we tried lots of lotions, bath stuff..... we had Cetaphil, Aquaphor, Eucerin (which was close to the best one we use), Aveeno...... lots of things labeled to be soothing for eczema..... and vaseline just was what we kept going back to.
Personally, I'd would head to a doctor with weeping skin, swollen and puffy stuff, around lips and eyes especially.
I went to the dr, and the dermatologist, but both said it was unrelated to food/ allergies (and I don't feel convinced about that), and the derm. said to use the steroid cream as needed- but that would be far too frequently!! I am getting a referal to a pediatrician.
your child's situation sounds similar to mine, except mine is allergic to food and dustmites instead of pollen. do you think it may be that the vaseline acts as a barrier against the pollen? For us Avene antibacterial repair cream has been very helpful, and it's a thick paste. My ds2 is highly allergic to dustmite and any broken skin will develop welts once it's exposed to dustmites. I was thinking that one reason why the repair cream works so well may be because it acts as a barrier against dustmites.
It's so frustrating isn't it? If the doctors only send you off with steriods, it's not enough, especially for weepy skin - and believe me, we were sent off with only steriods by a number of doctors, including senior pds and so-called dermatologists. This is even after I specifically asked them about infections, and they would say their steriod creams are an all-in-one. Even the allergist almost didn't want to test ds2 for allergies (his skin happened to be clearing up when our appointment finally arrived) until I showed him dated photos of ds2's skin spanning across a few months. If you can, try to get an older dermatologist who would have had a higher chance of having seen complicated cases, or at least cases where allergies really did play a role, and offer more comprehensive advice. Keep asking around for recommendations. That's how we found one of our doctors - through a mum whom I met only once before, but I heard how great her son was suddenly doing from another two acquaintances and immediately emailed her. Other parents of allergic children are always very forthcoming with contacts and tips.
In the meantime, if there is a weepy area right now, what we've been told to do is soak cotton pads in antiseptic wash (single use satchets) and lay it over the affected area for 5 min. We used to do it after the kid has fallen asleep as broken skin can smart. You may want to do that since it's near the eye area and you will not want him to rub it into his eyes.
your child's situation sounds similar to mine, except mine is allergic to food and dustmites instead of pollen. do you think it may be that the vaseline acts as a barrier against the pollen?
I am not sure if the vaseline acts as a barrier or not..... that is kind of interesting to think about though. In some ways, in order to figure that out, I think you'd really have to track your child, what they do, what they touch, what they eat, etc. Which we did, in order to really try and find out what was the cause. Sometimes you don't get something definitive, but at least a better hunch as to the cause. You also have to have a break, when the skin is better, so that you can track from that point, until when it gets worse again, and the possible triggers within that window.
But, I would say, for our son whose eczema was the worst, with the skin infections, we discovered his egg allergy when he was a baby. So, we hadn't had them in the house since then. We didn't write off the idea of the development of new food allergies though. We did go through some other testing, and eliminated anything that showed up on the RAST as possible.... even the most minute. Wheat was the worst to work with. Rice bread is not very tasty!
In the end, through trial and error, lots of testing, a couple allergists, and ripping out a lot of our front and back yards, by 9 years old, his eczema is almost non existent comparatively speaking to where we started.
For me, especially, I also went through the weeping skin, swelling, essentially looking like I had been beaten up, and wanting to just scratch my skin right off my face, in college. Back then, I couldn't go to an allergist until the regular doctor did a referral. That regular doctor wouldn't give up until he had guinea pigged me to death. Every antihistamine, every eye drop..... creams... everything..... and when nothing worked... I kept asking.... and I remember that last appointment, and he said to me that he'd give me a referral, but that the allergist was just going to give me a cortizone shot, and that he could do that too.
Well, I didn't care. And, I got to that allergist. I knew I had to get there. And, he helped me. Did skin scratch testing. For me, it was environmentals. Found out I was allergic to things .... like cats..... that I had no clue about. Not good to have had them on my bed all those years. Explained a lot of illness for me. I did immunotherapy with that allergist, and got some better medications, including a nasal spray that did wonders.
Anyway, point is with my story, the weeping skin is horrific, and I wouldn't stop until I figured that one out.
It can be a long road. A tiring one. And sometimes you have to find the one thing that will make your child at least more comfortable while you figure out the cause, and while you find the right doctor. I think starting with the pediatrician is a good place. Even if they can't solve the problem, they can almost be a clearing house for a lot. They can order RAST tests, they can prescribe creams, and they also will know (or should) about the various doctors, and hopefully more than one of any specialty, that can help you.
I was just talking to DH, who also suffered with eczema......
..... he and I contextualize things differently.....
But, he thought with the weeping it sounded like poison oak. Also, for him, the vaseline did serve as a barrier to keep moisture in.
I do know that when it does come to creams, including hydrocortizone, you have to be careful in using them because you can end up drying things out more when you are trying to reduce itching and swelling. So, then in drying things out more, you cause more itching.
I have to say, eczema is really hard.
This is interesting. Another mum and I were just talking about how different individual seem to react very differently to various climates. There were cases where a child's eczema would clear up whenever he is in a dry cool climate, and conversely, individuals whose eczema would clear up once they move to a humid climate. Generally for the former, heat is a trigger while for the latter, dry skin is a big factor. We are in a humid climate but my ds has atopic skin prone to infections, including fungal infections. To clear it up we have to avoid additional moisture, and at the same time, avoid airconditioners which would further dry out his skin. AND at the same time, we have to try to keep the humidity level down to control the dustmite population. Talk about confusion and suffering! Fortunately with his food allergies improving, his skin is no longer so dry.
I'm so convinced that most doctors are simply rattling off a list of things they memorised from their medical textbooks, and only a handful of really good ones will actually look closely at the skin, and consider the interplay of genetics, skin, environment, and daily care routine.

I kind of agree with you. I would also add, that for me, a good doctor is one that will work with you if they don't know. I can appreciate a doctor if they are willing to realize that as a parent, you might know something, and won't dismiss the fact that we are the ones living day in and day out trying to figure things out. We see all the subtleties, and they get a snap shot.
I agree too with really how different every individual can be with eczema..... and I can imagine that climates figure in too. All three of my kids all have had different experiences with eczema. Thankfully only one had it so severely.
Eczema is from food allergies/intolerances or environmental allergies. Are you keeping a very detailed food journal (everything the child is eating and whatever you're eating if you're BFing, and ALL symptoms: sleep habits, poop habits, skin (use a scale of 1-10), gaseousness, hiccuping, neediness, tantrums, etc)? common triggers are dairy, soy, gluten, corn, and eggs. But it could be from anything. What was the first kind of doctor? A pediatrician is probably going to say the same thing. I've had them say that folliculitis wasn't from food intolerances (it was corn), the eczema wasn't from food intolerances (again corn), the leg pains were growing pains (nope, that was milk), night terrors (milk again), lip rash (from soy, which the allergist said was "impossible"), see a pattern here?

The above post got me thinking.....
Here is a good link, with some good descriptions and categories for eczema vs other allergic skin conditions.
For us, the main thing that relates to that, is seeing an allergist vs seeing a dermatologist. And, again, I agree with the above poster that a pediatrician might say the same thing as the dermatologist, but a good pediatrician will also refer you to an allergist.
Finding doctors that are willing to treat more than the symptoms is important for long term successful management of eczema and allergies in general.
BTW, as an aside, we've had an allergist tell us based on a skin test one of our children had outgrown their allergy, only to say they were still allergic when they failed an oral challenge. Doctors don't know everything, and good ones, again, will work with you. They have their tools... things like skin tests..... and will continue to work with you when an oral challenge proves the skin test wrong.
Definitely not an exact science with all of this allergy stuff I think.
But the main point was that food intolerances can also cause eczema, and it won't show up on a skin test (or a RAST blood test) and I haven't met an allergist yet who believes in food intolerances causing anything. A food journal is key for that (or alternative testing: IgG/intolerance, muscle testing, etc.)

Thanks kjbrown92, could you please tell me: what is an lgG/intolerance?
There is someone locally who does muscle testing, but does anyone have experience with that? Does it really work, and how does it work?
An intolerance is a food that causes a reaction (whether it's a stomachache, eczema, rash, headaches, muscle cramps/spasms, insomnia, bedwetting, the red ring of doom [around the anus], "colic", vomiting, night terrors, "growing pains", ear infections, or any number of other symptoms) that does not show up on an IgE allergy test. My son, for example, has a soy intolerance. He gets a rash on his upper lip about 20 minutes after exposure, and it stays for 10 days, and he has horrible tantrums those 10 days. He's 11yo so not exactly in the tantrum kind of age. For my youngest daughter, eating (or even touching) corn would give her eczema on her inner thighs and/or folliculitis on her butt, and she'd wake up and scream during the night. Keeping a food journal (by ingredient) is a good way to figure out culprits. The top 4 food intolerances are dairy, gluten, soy and corn. Another common culprit for eczema is eggs.

Secretly Moving Out?
I have a question regarding my Son's father...
We had a conversation yesterday, and I brought up a joke about him "just moving out without notice one day" (because whenever we discuss trying to "get along", and if it does not work, he will want to move out, and take our Son with him as a Separation from Mother, Seeking Primary Custody) and I mentioned that would be illegal(he wants/wanted to not live with me because I am/was "mean" "to him", and I'm not an unfit parent whatsoever where he would have a True basis for taking our Son with him) and he said that it would not be illegal, it would just be in HIS WORDS, "In Bad Taste".
Is this true? I do not go out and sociallize, I do not drink/do drugs, I do not sleep around, I buy our Son what he needs(food, clothing) and I also pay rent.
Our rent just went up another $45, and the next cell phone bill(he is the Account Holder)will be HUGE for now on, because he himself choose to add on whatnot(I think he's been talking to his elder sister, who is an Evil Bitch from Hell, who hates herself/life, and uses her prior psychology class attendance to manipulate him into doing stupid things that financially ruin the household, while I have cut down on my expenses, and I did not have many anyway)
I hope to God he does not have anything planned for June, and is keeping it a secret.
I need advice, not sure where my Son's father's Real Mind is(who's in there, his sister/mother/step-father, others with messed up lives who should not give out advice to the Weak).
well for one be advised, that if he is the father of your son, then yes he can legally take him. there has to be a specific custody or divorce decree in order for him to not be allowed to take him. like i said unless he isn't biologically the father. second of all, if you are worried about him leaving you and you are tired of the threats and you pay the bills anyway, leave him before he leaves you and take your son with you so he can't do the same. doesn't sound to me like your a bad mother
I'd consult a lawyer to see what I could do to prevent or minimize your husband from acting out on these threats. If I'm paying the bills he would be moving out but without the child.
I've already filled out a form via legalmatch.com, and so far no one has viewed my case#. I'm not sure if my Son's father blocked their/my phone number from corresponding with each other. I remember last month, while speaking to my therapist over my cell phone, we were immediately cut off when I got into detail about the going-ons in the household. So I'm not sure if he has bought, or one of his family members have bought malware/spyware to see what I'm doing during the day, and also, I have limited access to some features on a cell phone that I PAID FOR. We had to go to the Verizon store yesterday to see if I could find out more, but was told by an associate that it would be impossible for someone to do this(I've checked online, and there are sophisticated software that cannot be detected when using any phone, especially a smart-phone like mine).
He has been having some interpersonal issues lately, feeling like I'm the cause(I prevented him from bringing in alcohol, and removing what alcohol he was trying to push me into drinking with him, and I do not like to drink at all) and yesterday morning he said it was hard to admit that he has issues, and I had to remind him that we BOTH need to repair our interpersonal issues, and spend this summer making certain that our Son no longer feels the bad Energy that is circulating around the apartment, in which he has acted out in school. My Son's father is in finals at an online college, but at the same time, he has increasingly been texting/facebook using while doing his schoolwork. He has promised our Son that he was to go outside this prior Sunday to play football with him, then it never happened.
My Son's father also said something negative about "my" wanting air conditioning, and how expensive it would be to have it, and that he does not expect the weather to be so bad this summer because of the wintery-like spring. I explained to him that the temperature will more than likely be hot, and that the weather is pretty much unpredictable these days. His priorities are very much messed up. I've spoken to my Dad, and he really cannot help me as much as I'd hope(he is elderly, and is caring for his dying wife, and has admitted that he does not have that much experience in relationships, and is now learning more and more as he is an AA motivational speaker) and my therapist and elder friend have told me to "leave him alone"(meaning not to try and "aggravate him") and maybe negative things will slightly die down.
I'm just sick of his secrecy/LYING(for his Mentally Sick relatives)...I've asked him about our Son's saving's account, and he has used some of the money for food(he said that he did not eat workplace cafeteria food, because it was "gross", so he went out to go find somewhere more than likely expensive to eat lunch), because he does not get paid this week, but has stated that the money he took out was only used for gas, so he insists that is all he took out of our Son's savings. But how did he pay for lunch if he did not use his account at work for food that is in the cafeteria there? It does not make sense.
I highly believe he has been told that I would not ask deep questions, and go "oh", and not think anything of it. I'm keeping tabs, but not ready to get into the deep conversation, because of the "Calvary"(his Wild Wild West mentality relatives, who like to gang up on individuals who appear to be a threat, like me for some reason). They use money as a source to keep people "silent" and "in their place". Some of their money is illegal, because he has mentioned that if the IRS found out about his mother's/step-father's hay-bailing business, they would be in big trouble, so they have him and their cash checks for them(according to him) and just yesterday he was to give his mother $24 that he mentioned AFTER I used money I could have additionally used for the grocery store instead of fast food, because she told him to meet him at one place, but ended up telling him to meet him somewhere else, but was to be gone WAY after we were to be there to do shopping.
These people love to try and "show off", buy purchasing chrome bumpers/sides for their newly bought $40k trucks, jewelry, spending ridiculous amounts of cash at restaurants, and "unnecessary" gifts(even for people they hate, like me, but they no longer do this, because they know that I do not like them), but they live in the most horded, dilapidated home you could ever imagine(his mother and step-father's trailer is beyond needing to be torn down).
So I'm going to call my Dad and find out if he may know something about whether or not my Son's father can do this, because I think doing this out of "Spite" is pretty much illegal.
Thank You for the advice though.
He is your child's father, if his name is on the birth certificate, he has every right to take him until a legal custody agreement is settled on, then he can't violate that. It's doubtful he'd be able to gain full custody if everything you've said is true, but joint custody seems likely.
Him. He is his father.
Are you married? If so I believe it is not considered kidnapping if his father takes him.
No...I asked him to marry me for the sake of our Son to have both biological parents raising him in the same household, he never really gave me an answer.

Pink Floyd Promo Single Sells for More Than $3,000
It only took five bids for the price of a Japanese seven-inch promo copy of Pink Floyd's final single with Roger Waters to sell for more than $3,000 on eBay.
'Not Now John,' featuring David Gilmour on vocals, and the Waters-sung B-side 'Your Possible Pasts,' both come from 1983's 'The Final Cut.' The song reached No. 7 on the mainstream-rock chart in the U.S. and went to No. 3 in the U.K.
The special promotional edition of the "Not Now John" single features a rare white CBS label.
The band was on the verge of splitting up by this point, since the LP is basically a Waters solo record. Founding keyboardist Richard Wright had been ousted during the album's difficult sessions. By the mid '80s, Gilmour and Waters were embroiled in a nasty legal battle over the rights to the Pink Floyd name.
Gilmour, along with Wright and drummer Nick Mason, prevailed. Since then, Waters has gone on to massive tours focusing on the classic Pink Floyd albums 'The Dark Side of the Moon' and 'The Wall.'

RP cheat sheet
Let's say almost exactly three months later, a new Paint Ball War fiasco began, the weather was getting hot and school was on break. It was the month of August. The last place the Paint Ball War had taken place had started to grow weary over the other wars fought and needed a break, so a new area just outside of town was found on an unused field of trees and shrubs and overgrown plants. This land was donated for the uses and had been set up specifically for this, though none of the players know the odds and ends. They'll have to prepare their own base and learn the land, all they know is there's a scrap yard highly rumered somewhere inside.
New rules concerning the Scrap Yard.
1. You may use whatever you'd like, take it out, rebuild/edit it.
2. No fighting inside the scrap yard.
3. No base inside the scrap yard.
4. Must return all scrap, it must not stay out.

LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP — The original forecast for the Jetty Coquina Jam looked a bit dicey with Tuesday's storm pulling away from the New Jersey coast.
There was wild swell forecasted with north winds and choppy conditions.
But luck favored the 16 two-person teams at this all-female surf event on 68th Street in the Brant Beach section of Long Beach Township.
The winds went northwest on Wednesday morning, perfectly grooming the surf all day for the evening event.
Four teams — Mary Frack, 56, of Barnegat, and Taylor Herman, 13, of Beach Haven; Allie Panetta, 22, of Ship Bottom, and Nicole Schmidt, 26, of Manahawkin; Debbie Green, 30, of Philadelphia and Cory DeStafano, 19, of Manahawkin; Kim Kepich, 19, of Millstone and Jessica Johnson, 39, of Beach Haven Terrace — will compete for the Coquina Jam trophy at Jetty's marquis LBI event, the Clam Jam, in October.
For most of the competitors, the Coquina Jam is the only contest they have ever surfed.
Jetty, a surfing clothing company, started this tradition last year, after the growth of the Clam Jam inspired the idea for an all-female contest. The enthusiasm made it clear that the women needed their own event.
Like the Clam Jam, the teams are chosen at random, pairing one older surfer with a younger counterpart. The teams are then set up in NCAA-style brackets. In keeping with the tradition of both contests, fresh clams were served on the beach.
Jetty ran the first Coquina Jam in 2009 in Harvey Cedars. Unfortunately, Hudson Avenue, the break that has hosted countless events since the 1960s, was eradicated by a beachfill project earlier this year. The event found a new home at 68th Street in Brant Beach.
The waves were very good Wednesday. The strong low-pressure system that moved out Tuesday produced waves in the 2- to 4-foot range with offshore winds.
Green won this event last year with 24-year-old Christina Claps, of Toms River. Though she lives in Philadelphia, Green gets down to LBI for nearly every swell all year. Teamed with DeStafano, Green pushed the limits, picking off set waves on her backhand, grabbing her rail and looking for quick barrels.
"I think there is a noticeable improvement in the surfing from last year," Green said. "You see girls making friends and surfing together all over the island. And then they came out this year to beat their friends."
Kepich put up the highest numbers, notching a 6.5 for a layback snap and a 7.5 for connecting several turns and cutbacks.
The Frack/Herman team represented the spirit of this event. Frack is the oldest surfer and Herman is the youngest. Frack, who started surfing in 1965, picked off some shoulder-high waves and rode them all the way to the inside.
"This brings us some notoriety," Frack said. "Back in the day, they would have a men's contest and the winner won $100, a full wetsuit and a bunch of other cool stuff. Whoever won the women's division got a vest."
"Mary pulled us through," Herman said. "I was nervous and she calmed me down. She told me to just surf like we do for fun together at Holyoke Avenue (in Beach Haven.)
Other standouts of the evening included Schmidt, Kali Park, Prairie Rugilio, Cherly Syminink and Carly Cappeluzzo.
The Coquina Jam also serves as a fundraiser and raised more than $1,000 for Boarding 4 Breast Cancer, a nonprofit group of females involved in board sports that raises research money and awareness for Breast Cancer.
The overall winner will be decided at the Clam Jam, which is slated for Oct. 17, waves pending. The new location has yet to be determined.

Garden City Teen Makes Capitol Hill Visit
Did you know that 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in his or her lifetime? Teens all across America are raising their voices in an effort to get this message out and to increase epilepsy awareness. Jeremy Nagel, a Junior at Garden City High School, is one of those teens. Jeremy, along with many other young men and women who represented 46 Epilepsy Foundation affiliates and 32 states, took their message to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Epilepsy, also known as a seizure disorder, affects more than 35,000 people on Long Island.
The Epilepsy Foundation, a national organization coordinates the Kids Speak Up! program held annually in Washington D.C. It is a multi-day program that provides advocacy training for teens and education on legislative issues for their parents and the staff of the Epilepsy Foundation affiliates. The teens, parents and affiliate staff then meet with several members of Congress and/or their staff in both the House and Senate to share their personal stories - how epilepsy impacts them and their families; and to discuss the importance of continued funding for research, development of new treatments, and the need for increased epilepsy awareness for educators, first responders, and employers.
Jeremy's seizures are generally well-managed with medications, but he hopes that one day there will be a cure for epilepsy and that the stigma of the disorder will be reduced through better awareness. Jeremy and his family have been supporters for many years of the local affiliate, the Epilepsy Foundation of Long Island, through participation on the Board of the organization as well as through fundraising activities. When asked about his recent experience in Washington, Jeremy replied, "It was awesome. I was glad people took the time to listen to me and understand how living with epilepsy can be very difficult." Through the program, Jeremy was able to meet many other teens from around the country. One teen, Teagan Ketchum from the Albany area in upstate New York, also participated and lobbied her representatives. Ms. Ketchum's grandfather was a long-time Garden City resident as well.
The Capitol Hill visits are essentially a 'kick-off" to a year of service for the teens and affiliate staff to help raise public awareness and support for finding a cure, better access to care, and an end to discrimination for those affected by epilepsy.
If you would like to learn more about epilepsy or to get involved in raising awareness, please contact the Epilepsy Foundation of Long Island located in Garden City at (516) 739 - 7733 or access the affiliate on their website @ www.efli.org.

The results are in!!!! Last months wedding wine survey told us what Irish couples REALLY think about Hotel Corkage, and how they plan to buy their wedding wine.
Wedding wine: Corkage charges plummet as 3 in 4 couples say "I don't" to Hotel Wine
Online wine retailers continue to lead the way as the suppliers of choice for couples getting married in Ireland, according to a joint survey by WeddingDates.ie and WeddingWines.ie.
The wedding wine survey, undertaken in March of this year, questioned engaged couples on a range of issues from hotel corkage to the impact of the economy on their overall wedding plans and budgets. The survey follows a similar initiative by CuriousWines.ie in 2009 to track the changing buying habits of wedding couples.
The most recent survey found that 3 in 4 couples still say "I don't" to hotel wine, preferring to bring their own wine despite significant falls in the prices of hotel wine. Of those couples purchasing hotel wine, over 4 in 10 reported paying €15 or less per bottle, versus only 1 in 10 two years ago. For those bringing their own wine, whereas more than half paid more than €8 corkage two years ago, less than 3 in 10 do today, with 1 in 6 claiming free corkage from their wedding hotel.
Ciara Crossan, CEO of WeddingDates.ie, acknowledged that hotels have reacted to the tough economic environment: "It's interesting to note that both wine prices and corkage charges in hotels have fallen significantly in the last two years. So, whilst hotels are fighting to keep the wine business themselves for weddings, they've also been pushed hard on corkage charges by couples keen to save money by buying their wine elsewhere."
Over half of all couples admitted to "cutting back some of the costs" of their wedding due to the current economic climate, with 1 in 10 postponing their wedding because of it. And it's the online retailers who still appear to be benefiting the most from frugal couples. Almost 1 in 4 engaged couples are considering buying their wedding wine from online retailers, versus 1 in 5 for traditional off-licences or wine stores and 1 in 5 considering supermarkets.
Whereas both hotels and supermarkets are up in couples' preferences from two years ago, it appears to have come at the expense of overseas suppliers as the latest survey showed a significant fall in the number of people going outside Ireland for their wedding wine.
Michael Kane, Chief Taster for Curious Wines and WeddingWines.ie, said: "The gradual closing of the differential in duty and VAT rates between Ireland and the UK, in particular Northern Ireland, has had a profound impact on the amount of business staying in Ireland. This is great news for everyone in the Irish wine industry and an important factor in sustaining growth, particularly in the independent sector. It confirms once again, people shop around and wedding couples are amongst the most savvy."
Now what are you waiting for!?!?!? Go buy your Wedding Wine Online >>

A colleague shows wisdom beyond her years.
By Daniel Munoz, M.D. '04
I'LL NEVER FORGET when I met Tommy Caplan.
It was after 1 a.m. on a midwinter night. I had just finished examining a patient whom I was transferring out of the medical intensive care unit to the general medicine service. As I maneuvered through the narrow hallway of the MICU, a windowless chamber where the time of day is easily forgotten amid the unrelenting cacophony of monitors, ventilator alarms and staff, I nearly ran smack into an elegantly dressed, jolly-looking man in his 50s.
As I muttered a polite, "Excuse me," and started to walk around him, he extended his hand and said with a warm smile, "Hi, I'm Tommy Caplan. Are you one of the residents working in the MICU?"
This chance encounter would mark the beginning of the unlikeliest of friendships with a man whose elderly father was gravely ill.
I never took direct care of Tommy's father. That task fell to one of my fellow residents, Channing Paller, and the team on the Janeway Medical Service. But despite my lack of formal involvement, running into Tommy in the hospital wasn't difficult. It was unclear to me when or if he ever slept. Whether in the ICU or on the general medicine floor, Tommy sat at his father's side or hovered just outside his room so that his dad would not be alone. As I rounded on my patients on the same floor, I came to expect and enjoy the interruptions that Tommy provided. A well-educated writer who seemed simultaneously proud and humbled by his high-society status, he was conversant on topics ranging from international affairs to health care policy to the Johns Hopkins tradition to—sometimes—the severity of his father's illness.
I never knew quite how to tread. I was not immediately comfortable asking Tommy about his father's condition. After all, I was not actually part of this patient's physician-care team. But Tommy seemed aware of my hesitation and would often offer updates and introduce the topic himself.
Over the next three months, I witnessed the evolution of a fiercely loyal son coming to grips with his father's—and perhaps his own—mortality, facing ethical questions and decisions that both reveal and build character. I was profoundly affected by this son's extraordinary commitment to his father. And though I never told Tommy this, at times it prompted me to examine my own relationship with my dad, praying that I'd have comparable strength were I ever faced with similarly excruciating circumstances.
On a Friday morning in April, Channing called me to share the sad, though not surprising news. Tommy's father had died the day before. His son had been at the bedside, without the invasive scurry of activity that all too often accompanies death in the hospital. Son and doctors together had agreed that the outcome was inevitable and that it should occur with dignity rather than alarm bells.
Channing was a key player in all of this. After three months of nearly round-the-clock responsibility, she had developed a close personal and professional relationship with patient and son. Now, on the morning after his father's death, Tommy had telephoned her. Might she and I be able to join family and friends for the Monday afternoon memorial service? Channing and I discussed it and, despite some mutual hesitation about injecting ourselves into the most private of family moments, we decided to attend together.
That Monday, we left the hospital and drove the 20 minutes or so to a suburban cemetery sprawled on rolling green hills. The setting was remarkably peaceful. It was unseasonably warm, with a gentle breeze flapping at the suit jackets and hats of the 150 or so guests assembled at the gravesite. Channing and I stood in the back, feeling slightly out of place, two decades younger than most in attendance.
After an honor guard procession and an introductory prayer offered by the family's priest, Tommy stood to speak. He thanked those in attendance for what they meant to his father and for traveling to Baltimore on short notice. And then he did something as powerfully moving as it was unexpected. In the presence of prominent senior physicians who had been instrumental in his father's care, he singled out Channing.
For several minutes, he spoke about how vital she had been as the resident, how touched he had been by her attention to detail, by her stamina despite long hours in the hospital, and by "her compassion and wisdom decades beyond her years" in the waning days of his father's life.
I glanced at Channing. Her eyes were fighting a losing battle against tears. I could think of nothing more appropriate than to whisper, "Good for you."
What a tribute. In a matter of minutes on a sunny Monday afternoon, interrupting the seemingly uninterruptible slog of internship, Channing and I were reminded of just how blessed we are to do what we do. And of how, though we often can't slow down enough to realize it, a house officer can play a key role in the eyes of patients and their families.
Softspoken and humble in her approach to nearly everything, Channing seemed slightly embarrassed by the attention she received from guests at the reception afterwards. As we bid farewell to Tommy, he embraced Channing. Then he shook my hand and looked me in the eye with the same warmth he had displayed in the MICU just three months prior.
I'm glad he thought to introduce himself.
Dan Munoz is a second-year resident in the Department of Medicine.

text: Statehouse Beat: Quiet election in West Virginia By Phil Kabler October 27, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Having read an account in The Washington Post about how TV stations in battleground states are making programming changes to accommodate the massive onslaught of political ads -- including one station airing movies in place of regular network programming in order to free up more local ad time -- it occurred to me that West Virginia is enjoying a relatively slow campaign cycle.Bill Phillips, political consultant out of Elkins and the state's last Republican gubernatorial chief of staff (under Cecil Underwood), made a similar point in a column posted at his Phillips Billboard blog titled, "Fatigue."Posted the day early voting began, it begins: "Voters start to the polls today. They have faced six elections starting in 2010. Voters are suffering election fatigue, the candidates are running tired campaigns and the money providers are drained."Phillips notes that the governor's race usually sets the pace for election campaigns, but this years' Tomblin-Maloney rematch has been low-key, with Tomblin spending more time governing and "dealing with problems not of his doing" than campaigning, while Maloney, in Phillips' words, has been "under the radar."Phillips notes that only one statewide poll has been conducted for the election, and that was back in August, pointing out, "But you can bet if candidate Maloney had an internal poll showing him at the edge of victory it would have been leaked -- or he would be writing another big check."Though Friday, Maloney had written four checks totaling $1 million, including $750,000 in October -- nothing like the $2.45 million he self-financed in 2011.Phillips rightfully points out that Tomblin's concern at this point has to be voter turnout in southern counties, where he had a more than 2-to-1 edge over Maloney in the 2011 special election.With no enthusiasm among southern Democrats for Obama, and with local races decided back in May, Tomblin has to make sure voter apathy doesn't translate into low turnout.Phillips speaks from experience, since that scenario played out in 1996, when low turnout in the southern counties was the key factor that allowed Underwood to beat Democrat Charlotte Pritt.Phillips concludes the column that Republican candidates have to hope Romney has big coattails in West Virginia. "If not, despite Republicans putting up their best slate of Board of Public Works candidates in years, success may not be at their doorstep," he states.In talking with Phillips, I suggested his column read like an early concession speech for the Republican slate. He was emphatic it was not, but said it is intended as a call to action for Republicans to get out the vote, an effort he said benefits from having Wendy McCuskey as the party's "Victory" director.*The lack of publicly released campaign polling this election is perhaps understandable, given the lack of resources by media in the state.What has been surprising is the complete abandonment of the state by Public Policy Polling of Raleigh, N.C. (PPP polls get criticized for skewing left, and because they are entirely automated phone polls, with no live operators.)However, their polling in West Virginia the past couple of election cycles has been quite accurate, and until this year, quite frequent.In 2011, PPP conducted a total of 16 statewide polls, including seven on the special election for governor.Now, it's been more than a year since PPP did a state poll.Numerous calls to PPP headquarters went unreturned, but since PPP typically polls presidential, U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races, the assumption is that PPP does not consider any of those races competitive enough in West Virginia this year to justify polling.* Considering he's facing $2 million of attack ads from out-of-state special interests, it's a bit of nitpicking to complain about Attorney General Darrell McGraw's campaign sending out a flier in the form of an official-looking letter from the attorney general's office, complete with a business-size envelope with a cellophane address window.On one hand, it's pretty shrewd. A lot of political consultants hate direct mail fliers, primarily because many voters throw them out without reading them -- particularly on days when multiple fliers arrive in the mailbox.I imagine 99 percent of the recipients of the McGraw letter opened it, wondering -- as I did -- what the heck they had done to get in trouble with the attorney general's office.On the other hand, Patrick Morrisey campaign manager Scott Will made a good point when he said, "Sadly, Darrell McGraw is guilty of the exact type of behavior he has sworn an oath to prosecute: deceptive advertising."Indeed, in 1996, McGraw sued a Texas outfit called Sweepstakes Clearinghouse for mailing a promotional circular in envelopes designed to resemble those used to mail W-2 forms, right down to a warning that interfering with the delivery of the letter is a felony.(The envelope for the McGraw mailer features a small but readable disclaimer that it contains campaign material.)Sweepstakes Clearinghouse, by the way, ultimately agreed to a settlement that included $38,000 in refunds to state residents.*Finally, quote of the week: "I can't tell you who I'm voting for. It's a secret ballot." -- President Barack Obama, prior to going to Chicago to early vote. Perhaps Sen. Manchin or Gov. Tomblin might want to adopt that line the next time they're pestered about how they're voting for president ...Reach Phil Kabler at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1220.

Vidya Balan
Vidya Balan is a Tamil Iyer born on the 1st January 1978 in Palakkad,Kerala. Her father is P.R.Balan who is the vice president of ETC channel while her mother is a homemaker. She has an older sister,Priya.
She studied in Mumbai at St Anthony's School and later graduated in Sociology from St Xavier's College, after which she enrolled for M.A from the Mumbai University. She speaks several languages like Tamil,Malayalam, English, Hindi and Bengali.
Vidya Balan started work as an actress in the Malayalam movie Chakram, paired against Mohanlal, however the film was abandoned mid-way through production. After making her debut in television advertising as a model for a Surf Excel advertisement in 1998, she proceeded to do over 25 TV ads, (mostly directed by Pradeep Sarkar), followed with a variety of acting stints in music videos (Euphoria, Shubha Mudgal and Pankaj Udhas), Hindi TV soap operas (Hanste Khelte and Hum Paanch) and a Bengali movie, Bhaalo Theko, for which she won the Best Actress Anand Lok Puraskar award in Kolkata. Hanste Khelte and Ektaa Kapoor's Hum Paanch.
She made her debut as a model in a Surf Excel advertisement in 1998. She has acted in scores of ad films, most of which were directed by Pradeep Sarkar. She made her acting debut in a Bengali film called Bhalo Theko in 2003. It was closely followed by her Hindi film debut in Parineeta in 2005, for which she received a Fimfare Award for Best Female Debut. The film was a commercial success and saw Vidya running shoulders with Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt. In 2006, she worked with Dutt again in Raju Hirani's blockbuster Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Once again her performance was well received by critics and this film went on to become the second highest grossing film of that year.
Vidya's sun sign is Capricorn.The sign of the high roller, Capricorn is regarded as the zodiac's top, but also quiet, life and business achievers.She must always try to do is balance work with enjoyment; otherwise she can become too one-sided and work can replace true personal emotional fulfilment.
At this time she must guard against being too aggressive, coming on too strong, or trying to force her own will and thereby arousing hostility in others. Also, frustrated desires and obstacles to achieving her aims can evoke enormous anger and she may do something rash and regrettable. Conflicts and confrontations may be unavoidable, but do try to avoid situations which she know will provoke or irritate her. Working alone is best at this time.

Director Otto Preminger made sure Exodus (1960) was a good movie, but this political epic ain't exactly impartial. It's three and a half hours of Paul Newman and friends hacking their way through first the Brits, then the Arabs, on their way to statehood.
Then there's Chuck Heston in William Wyler's Ben-Hur (1960). More heroism, more heroes, only it's about two millennia earlier. But again, CP hasn't lost sight of the forest -- once again it's very long, and very good.
But maybe Alan Ruck sang it best in John Hughes' Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986): "When Cameron was in Egypt land, let my Cameron go." We may have a new Middle East story to tell. Is there room in the region for another "ragtag bunch of misfits" (to put it in movie-trailer terms) who want their own country? Let's hope it goes well enough to make a movie about.

LE TOUQUET, France, July 08, 2014 (AFP) – Reigning Tour de France champion
Chris Froome will undergo an X-ray on Tuesday evening after crashing on the
fourth stage, his Sky team manager Dave Brailsford said.
The 29-year-old Briton was knocked over early into the 163.5km stage from
Le Touquet to Lille after two riders touched in the peloton and one swerved
across his path.
He suffered grazes to his elbow and leg down the left side, while he also
injured his wrist.
But Brailsford said he should be fine for the rest of the Tour.
"He fell, it's clear to see, but his injuries are quite superficial," said
Tour de France 2014 – Etape 4 – Florence Pommerie : "Froome a mal mais il est en forme" by Cyclismactu
"He felt well at the end but we'll still take him for an X-ray to ensure
he's not got anything. I hope he's fine."
Froome grabbed his left wrist after climbing off the tarmac while his
shorts were badly ripped.
He dropped back to the medical car for treatment.
Race doctor Florence Pommerie said the champion's wounds were not serious.
"They're essentially a few scratches, but that's got to hurt nevertheless.
He also hurt his wrist, but we'll have to wait and see how it goes," he said.
Froome's left thigh was strapped up and he was given a splint for his left
wrist and a bandage for his right hand.
Victory rival and yellow jersey wearer Vincenzo Nibali said the Briton had
told him he was OK.
"We knew almost straightaway about his fall. When he got back to the group
I went up to him and asked how he was; he wasn't in great spirits," said the
Nibali admitted that it was an inopportune time to be nursing bumps and
bruises with Wednesday's cobbled fifth stage coming up.
"It's not great for tomorrow, I don't know if it will affect his day, you'd
have to ask him to understand the seriousness of the fall today."
Sky's sporting director Nicolas Portal admitted the team had been worried
when Froome went down.
"We were very scared, as was everyone," said Portal.
"I spoke to him, he seems OK. He must have fallen hard, I imagine, but it's
The crash took down several other riders, including Dutch outsider for the
overall victory Bauke Mollema of Belkin.
Last month Froome also fell on his left side at the Criterium du Dauphine.
He had been leading that race until the sixth stage crash.
He lost the lead to Alberto Contador the very next day and then cracked on
the eighth and final stage, finishing more than five minutes behind the winner
and dropping to 11th in the overall standings.
It's been a tricky year for Froome who also suffered a lower back problem
that forced him out of March's Tirreno-Adriatico race while illness kept him
out of the Liege-Bastogne-Liege Ardennes Classic in April.

Deaths Thin Ranks of Imperiled Right Whales
By CORNELIA DEAN
Published: January 13, 2005
The North Atlantic right whale, a highly endangered species, grew more endangered this week when a pregnant female was found dead off Nantucket Island, the New England Aquarium said yesterday.
It was the fourth right whale to die in about six weeks. Because only about 325 of the whales are known to exist, ''this means that in a little over a month we've had 11/3 percent of them die,'' said Tony LaCasse, communications director for the aquarium, which tracks right whale populations.
But scientists who monitor the species also had reason to cheer, this time about another female right whale, called Calvin.
Over the years, Calvin has survived so many travails that she exemplified ''the bad things that can happen to a whale,'' Mr. LaCasse said. Before Calvin was weaned, her mother was killed in a collision with a ship. Later, Calvin had to be disentangled from fishing gear.
But now Calvin has given birth to her first calf, off the coast of North Carolina. So the fact that she survived to reproduce is a cause for celebration.
Right whales are so rare that scientists who track them call them by name. They know them by individual patterns of skin overgrowths, called callosities, which appear on the animals' heads. These callosities become infested with organisms called sea lice, giving each animal characteristic splotches.
The whale found dead off Nantucket was called Bolo, and Mr. LaCasse said the scientists were particularly distressed by her death because she had given birth to six calves, the most ever recorded for a right whale. Some scientists theorize that right whales were hunted down to such low numbers that they became too inbred to reproduce successfully, so the loss of a female with a good breeding history is a particular blow.
The whales, which summer in the vicinity of the Bay of Fundy, off Nova Scotia, migrate south to the Georgia area in the winter to give birth, and Bolo was about to deliver another calf, Mr. LaCasse said. It died with her.
Another dead whale was found south of Nantucket in December, and others were found off Georgia and off Norfolk, Va. Mr. LaCasse said the whale that died off Norfolk might have been injured by a Navy ship that reported striking a whale. The dead animal was discovered by a recreational boater about two hours after the Navy ship reported the collision.

The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research has awarded a 4-year, $2.3 million grant to the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, OR, to find a more effective way of treating depression in teenagers seen in managed care practices—the source of health care for most Americans.
The new award is one of five grants totaling nearly $10 million in projected funding—over half of which comes from AHCPR—made in response to a child mental health research solicitation published in 1998. The call for research was published by AHCPR in conjunction with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
As noted by AHCPR Administrator John M. Eisenberg, M.D., this study is particularly important because of recent questions raised about the possible relationship between teen mental health problems and school violence. Over 8 percent of teenagers suffer from depression—the most common mental disorder in the United States. Not only is depression becoming more prevalent in adolescents, but the age at which it first appears is going down.
A major concern is suicide. Over the last decade, the suicide rate in young people has increased dramatically, and by 1996, the last year for which data are available, it ranked as the fourth leading cause of death among 10-to-14-year-old children, and it was third among those aged 15 to 24. Depression can cause loss of energy and problems in concentrating, thinking, and remembering, and it increases the risk of problems such as teenage pregnancy, school dropout, and accidents.
Under the terms of AHCPR's new grant award, a team of researchers led by Gregory N. Clarke, Ph.D., an internationally recognized expert on cognitive behavioral therapy for depressed youths, will examine the effectiveness of the therapy—a form of psychotherapy with proven efficacy—when used as an adjunct to antidepressant medication therapy to treat adolescents ages 12 to 18 who are experiencing depression for the first time. The researchers will test whether adolescents provided this combined therapy will be more likely to adhere to medication instructions, recover faster from initial depression, stay in remission longer, function better socially and academically, and be more satisfied with their treatment than those treated only with medication.
The researchers also predict that, while the combination may initially cost managed care more money, in the long run it will be more cost effective than the current way of treating depressed adolescents. The randomized clinical trial will be conducted in four large managed care practices in the Northwest that provide primary care, and it will involve the teaming of pediatricians and trained mental health therapists.
The other child mental health studies are:

Premier steady on revenue tools despite municipal objections
TORONTO – Premier Kathleen Wynne remains adamant: The province needs new revenue tools such as toll roads to pay for expanded public transit despite what Mayor Rob Ford or polls suggest.
"New money has to be found. We have to remove any doubt about that," Wynne said. "The money will not be found within our existing budget."
The Big Move – the province's multi-decade plan for expanded transit – needs approximately $2 billion a year in dedicated funding.
Metrolinx and Toronto's Board of Trade have outlined suggested revenue tools that could generate piece of the $2 billion.
But a poll released April 12 shows the majority of Torontonians surveyed believe it's "unfair" to ask Greater Toronto Area residents to pay for the plan.
Mayor Rob Ford has already shown his disgust with using higher taxes to fund transit by pretending to vomit. He has previously suggested the province could use revenue from a casino to fund public transit.
Next week Toronto's executive committee will review a staff report recommending support for development charges, fuel taxes, a parking levy and a sales tax. The report also calls on the city to support Metrolinx plan for high occupancy toll lanes, highway tolls and a vehicle registration tax.
On Tuesday, Ford reiterated his opposition.
"I'm not supporting any of those revenue tools," Ford said. "The people can't afford these taxes. That's all it is – tax, tax, tax."
Municipal politicians in Burlington and Hamilton have also expressed hesitation about having their residents pay for the province's plan.
But Wynne says she's forging ahead – with mayors on board or otherwise.
"The whole process will be much better if we have municipal support and we can act in concert, but the reality is that we have to take action. And as a provincial government it's my responsibility to determine the actions that we will take," she said.
NDP leader Andrea Horwath said Wednesday that it worries her the premier would go ahead with a policy opposed by the majority of Ontario. She has called on the government to cut corporate tax loopholes instead of raising taxes in order to fund transit.
"There's no doubt that a dedicated revenue stream and revenue tools need to be found," said Horwath, "but if the tools that the premier is looking at are ones that hit families hard in the pocket book, then that's not something we support."
Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak has called for the government to root out waste in the government before asking Ontarians to pay more in taxes.

Alaska's Oil Field Ravens
INTRO: Alaska's Arctic coast is a treeless, marshy plain in summer and a bitterly cold, windswept wilderness in winter—not exactly the best place for birds that like to nest high above the ground. But toss in a few oil pump stations, communication towers and other structures, and you create a near-perfect artificial habitat for ravens. Doug Schneider has more in this week's Arctic Science Journeys Radio.
STORY: Ravens, those large, raucous, black birds seen perched atop
streetlights or foraging in the back of pickup trucks, were never common on
Alaska's treeless northern coast. But towers, buildings, and landfills in the
state's sprawling Prudhoe Bay oil fields are giving ravens a reason to stay.
BACKENSTO: "We see them focusing to some degree on small mammals, lemmings,
tundra voles. So we find bones and we have actually observed them. What's really
interesting, and I didn't expect to find this, is that ravens kind of walk
along the tundra and poke their heads into the lemming tunnels and eventually
they get one. I call it the random walk. It looks like they are walking randomly
around the tundra and eventually they get something. It's also probably a really
good strategy where there is a high density of nesting birds. They are bound
to flush a bird off the nest by walking along, and they can take the eggs
or the chicks. And we have seen both—birds flying with eggs and birds actually
pick up chicks off the ground."

|K.J. Choi finished with a 1-over 71, but it was enough to win the Sony Open. (Hugh Gentry/Reuters)
HONOLULU - Every shot brought a tough decision. Every swing brought an unpredictable result.
K.J. Choi never imagined having to work so hard in paradise, even with a four-shot lead in the
Choi survived the blustery conditions at Waialae and a spirited charge by Rory Sabbatini, closing with a 1-over 71 for a three-shot victory yesterday that put him in elite company. It was Choi's fourth straight year with a PGA Tour victory, joining Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Vijay Singh with active streaks that long.
"I can't remember having such a difficult round as today," said Choi, the first Sony Open champion in 41 years with a final round over par. "It was very difficult conditions out there. I told myself, 'Try not to lose focus.' "
Choi wobbled in the wind, and when he three-putted the 13th for bogey - his only three-putt of the week - his lead was down to two shots. But the 37-year-old South Korean made pars the rest of the way, making his only birdie of the final round on the last hole.
"When I made that three-putt, that really woke me up," he said. "It was kind of like medicine. It woke me up and I said, 'I have to hang in there, not fall apart.' It motivated me."
The wind was strong enough to cause palm trees to sway and make birdies scarce. Sabbatini managed six birdies, but a three-putt par on the final hole gave him a 68. He was a runner-up here for the second time.
"There were two things that needed to happen today - K.J. to lose a few shots back to the field, and for someone to go low," Sabbatini said. "He kind of did his part, but the ones of us that were chasing, unfortunately, failed to do our jobs."
Choi, who became the first outright wire-to-wire winner at the Sony Open since Paul Azinger in 2000, finished at 14-under 266 and earned $954,000 for his seventh PGA Tour win. Jerry Kelly closed with a bogey-free 67 to finish alone in third, four shots back.
The last Sony Open champion to close with a round over par was Dudley Wysong, who beat Billy Casper in a playoff in 1967.
Conditions had been mostly calm all week, but wind gusted all day yesterday, and only eight players broke par.
"Being lulled to sleep for three days made it tougher," Kelly said. "If we would have been facing this all week, we might have seen more rounds like that. I'll tell you, I'd hate to be a rookie and just all of a sudden see this place Sunday."
One such rookie was Tim Wilkinson, the New Zealander playing in only his third PGA Tour event, who started off in the final group with Choi after a third-round 62. Wilkinson started with a bogey and it went badly from there. He shot 78 to tie for 25th.
Steve Stricker birdied the last hole for a 70 and finished in a tie for fourth at 272 with Stephen Marino (72), Pat Perez (70), and Kevin Na, who made eagle on the final hole for a 72.
