Potter, Massie helping improve Cardinals' pass protection
Let that sink in.
The San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans have all allowed more quarterback sacks than the Cardinals' seven in that time span.
Considering that the Cardinals allowed opponents to perform 29 sack dances in a four-week span, there's significant process being made.
What's been different?
First, rookie Nate Potter was inserted at left tackle, and has been a major improvement over journeyman D'Anthony Batiste, who started the first nine games of the season. Potter will make his fourth straight start against the Seattle Seahawks at Century Link Field Sunday.
"For a rookie player, he's done a nice job. He's gotten better and better," Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "This will be a real test, in that noise, and they've got really good rushers in (Chris) Clemons and (Bruce Irvin) and they do a number of different things to take advantage of that, so this will be a real test for him."
According to ProFootballFocus.com, Potter is coming off his best performance of the season in last Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. The former Boise State All-American allowed just one quarterback hit against the Jets.
Potter got his feet wet in Week 9 when he replaced Batiste in the middle of the Cardinals loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, and has built on that strong first showing.
"To go in against Clay Matthews in the first game he had to play, which is a similar-type situation, from there, he's gotten better and better," said his head coach. "I think that he's still a rookie and this will be a new situation for him, but he's going to be a good football player."
Whisenhunt is also pleased with how Potter has played in other areas.
"He's actually done a good job with the run blocking," he said. "I think what you see from him is that he understands the game and his technique is good. He may not have the bulk or the strength yet to move it like you think he will be able to one day.
"He's conscious of trying to work his feet and work his hands and you see him come off the ball -- he does a lot of things very athletically, which for a guy his size, when his strength catches up to it, you like that combination."
Potter hasn't been the only rookie tackle to show major improvement in the last few weeks. Right tackle Bobby Massie, after giving up 13 sacks in a six-game span, has shored up the right side. Massie hasn't given up a sack since a Week 8 loss to San Francisco on Monday Night Football.

"The Whole Truth," which premieres Wednesday on ABC, offers Maura Tierney as New York City prosecutor Kathryn Peale and Rob Morrow as go-to defense attorney Jimmy Brogan, who, like Perry Mason and his perpetual opposing counsel Hamilton Burger, incredibly find themselves locked in weekly opposition. The novel twist is that sometimes one will win and sometimes the other.
Jerry Bruckheimer is the producer, and most of what goes on here is a few clicks louder than life. Apart from the concept itself — which, though it beats at your head like an angry bird, is certainly airworthy — the hour's main attractions are Tierney and Morrow, who keep their own volume at a reasonable level, even when made to say things like "Fasten your seat belt, Jimmy" and "Game on, Katie. Bring it!"

[Poster by Maria Droujkova of NaturalMath.com. This game was originally published as part of the Homeschooling with a Profound Understanding of Fundamental Mathematics Series.]
Homeschooling parents know that one of the biggest challenges for any middle-elementary math student is to master the multiplication facts. It can seem like an unending task to memorize so many facts and be able to pull them out of mental storage in any order on demand.
Too often, we are tempted to stress the rote aspect of such memory work, which makes our children lose their focus on what multiplication really means. Before practicing the times table facts, make sure your student gets plenty of practice recognizing and using the common models for multiplication.
To help your children see what multiplication looks like in real life, explore the multitude of Multiplication Models collected at the Natural Math website. Or try some of the hands-on activities in the Family Multiplication Study.
You may want to pick up this poster and use it for ideas as you play the Tell Me a (Math) Story game. Word problems are important for children learning any new topic in math, because they give children a mental "hook" on which to hang the abstract number concepts.
And for extra practice, you can play my free card game…

Pistachio nuts can help prevent two common chronic diseases, says diet and disease prevention specialist Dr. William Li. To learn more about the health benefits of pistachios, watch this video.
Health Value Of Foods
A Answers (4)
Pistachio nuts can help prevent two common chronic diseases, says diet and disease prevention specialist Dr. William Li. To learn more about the health benefits of pistachios, watch this video.
The health benefits of pistachios are similar to those of other nuts that provide a high content of monounsaturated fat and arginine. Additionally, pistachios are a very good source of both magnesium and potassium, two minerals that protect against high blood pressure.
Given their heart-healthy constituents, it's not surprising that two recent clinical research trials have demonstrated that including pistachios regularly in the diet significantly improves lipid profiles in humans with both normal and moderately elevated blood levels of cholesterol. In one study, pistachios were substituted for 20 percent of the daily caloric intake in ten patients with moderately elevated blood cholesterol levels who followed a traditional American diet (35 to 39 percent of their calories from fat). After three weeks, the result was a significant decrease in both total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, plus an increase in levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol. In the other study, including 2 to 3.5 ounces of pistachios in a low-fat diet (30 percent calories from fat) produced a 5 to 12 percent lowering of total cholesterol and a 10 to 15 percent drop in LDL cholesterol.
In addition to their healthy fats and sterols, pistachios contain a compound with anti-inflammatory effects. In a 2001 animal study, this compound, oleanolic acid, was found to alleviate dermatitis because of its ability to inhibit the production of the proinflammatory agent leukotriene B4.
Another recent study evaluated the long held belief in Jordanian folk medicine that pistachios are an effective treatment for jaundice. When intoxicated rats were given a dose of 4 milliliters per kilogram of body weight of a water extract of pistachio, the liver-damaging activity of three enzymes - alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase - was significantly reduced, along with bilirubin levels. (Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment in bile whose accumulation is a primary symptom of jaundice.) Thus it appears that the practice of using pistachios as a folk remedy for jaundice has merit.

Thursday October 30, 2008
A SARAWAK MP has proposed that the Government allocate special forest reserves with sufficient natural resources for the Penans to continue with their lifestyle.
Billy Abit Joo (BN – Hulu Rajang) said the special forest reserves with sufficient natural resources would help them survive and at the same time, also introduce them to the modern world.
"One should not drag them out of the forest to lead a modern life. Such change will be too drastic for them," Billy said when debating the Budget.
He said there were about 10,000 Penans, including 3,500 to 5,000 still living the "traditional" way.
Billy said human activities such as logging had disrupted their lives in the forest.
The main problem faced by the community, he said, was that most of them did not have birth certificates and identity cards.
"Many of them live and die in the forest. To them, they do not need identity cards," he said.
Billy also called on the Government to develop tourism in the Sarawak inland.

It's not unusual that the number of registered voters takes a dip between presidential elections, but the Washington Post reports that the numbers of registered Black and Latino voters has taken a drastic dive since 2008.
Just how drastic?
Using information from a 2010 Census Bureau report, the Post asserts that the number of registered Black voters fell by 7 percent. After nearly four decades of steady increase, the number of registered Hispanic voters dropped by about 5 percent. All told, that's 2 million Black and Latino votes that have vanished, many of them in key battleground states.
The Obama re-election campaign quickly released a statement on its blog questioning the WashPo's conclusions. According to the Obama camp:
...registration among Latinos and African Americans has never been higher. There are more Americans of both backgrounds registered to vote today than there were when President Obama was elected.
Republicans who wish The Washington Post's registration count is accurate will be disappointed by these facts. Registration numbers are rising in spite of GOP legislatures and governors in more than half of the states who have put up onerous hurdles that make it harder for Americans to vote—with the excuse that they're solving a non-existent epidemic of voter fraud.
So which is it? Are we to believe the Post or the Obama campaign? As the Huffington Post points out, quantifying the effect of voter suppression efforts is a challenge because not all states collect standardized data on racial and ethnic minorities.
For ColorOfChange, discriminatory voter ID laws will take center stage in the lead up to the 2012 election. We will be giving voters the tools they need to register to vote, gain access to polling places, and connect with each other virtually and on the ground. We're also working hard to get corporations to end their membership in ALEC, the right-wing group that has pushed discriminatory voter ID laws nationwide. Join us here.

TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College's aviation program is spreading its wings.
NMC President Tim Nelson signed an agreement last week with a Beijing-based group to explore exchange programs and possibly partner on a flight training academy in China. The move comes as the local program continues to attract international students.
"Our aviation program is very highly respected nationally and internationally," said Andy Dolan, NMC's executive director for public relations and marketing. "The U.S. is the place that, all over world, they look to get trained in aviation."
The agreement between NMC and Beijing Channel Consulting is the first step toward an exchange program that could include a two-week aviation course for Chinese students at NMC and study abroad opportunities for NMC students in China. In the long term, NMC may help develop a training academy in China.
Aaron Cook, aviation program director, said people in countries such as China are traveling more by air, but they lack schools and programs for new pilots.
"The U.S. in general has been looked upon as a world leader in aviation training, probably because we've been doing it so long," Cook said.
China isn't the only country turning to the local college to educate new pilots. Two current NMC aviation students are from Great Britain, and more are on the way this summer. Seven students from India are expected to enroll in 2012 for a yearlong program.
Cook said international students will account for about 25 percent of the program's flight hours this year.
"We did about 500 hours last year with international students, and we expect about 1,500 this year," Cook said.
Sam Jiggins, 23, studied aeronautical systems engineering at the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom, but came to Traverse City last summer to earn his private pilot license. He said it's more expensive to get licenses in the U.K. because of fees and Europe's high cost of fuel.
"There are a lot more schools in the U.S., so there's more opportunities in that respect. And, it's a lot cheaper — almost half the price," Jiggins said. "In England, you can spend between 50,000 to 100,000 pounds — that's like $75,000 to $150,000 — to get all the licenses. In America, I'll get all my licenses for about $40,000."
Jiggins returned to Traverse City this semester to pursue a commercial license and an associate degree in aviation. He expects to be at NMC for at least 10 months.
"NMC is a really good school," he said. "The equipment and the planes are like brand new. I just flew a plane that's only 15 hours old. It smelled brand new, with no marks on it. In England, all the planes are really old with analog cockpits."
The recently signed agreement does not commit NMC to spend any money in China, and expenses would need to go through the board of trustees, said Dolan.
Cook said student exchanges provide an important international focus at the college.
"It's not only big universities that provide opportunities for studying abroad. That's kind of the motivation — to make sure students that graduate NMC, whether aviation students or others, have an education that includes a global perspective," he said.

The Michigan State Police in southeast Michigan have policed over 340 traffic accidents from Wednesday Jan. 1 to Friday Jan. 3, 2014. By the time you read this article the numbers will surely have increased. The Michigan State Police Brighton Post not only helped police accidents but along with other posts sent a full detail to assist at the Winter Classic Hockey Game. All hands were on deck to be sure. I mention this because you should know the men and women of the Michigan State Police were all working to provide safe travels for the citizens of the state. There was literally no one not working this Jan. 1. The other reason is I take this as opportunity to remind you to where your seatbelt. Most people where their seatbelts without question but do you keep it on after an accident. I know you may think why or maybe you have never thought of it.
About two years ago a Trooper was policing a crash on US 23 near I-96 interchange. The weather conditions were much the same as they have been the last several days. The Trooper had just sat back in his vehicle and buckled his seat belt. He was just beginning to fill out the paperwork and collect the necessary information when he was struck from behind by a vehicle. The force of the impact was jolt to say the least, some gear and other things in the vehicle were thrown about. The Trooper though was left with a minor injury. If the Trooper had failed to put his seatbelt back on even just sitting on the freeway the force of the impact would have caused him to strike his steering wheel and most likely his head would have hit the windshield. The injuries could have been worse. Putting the seatbelt back on even while sitting waiting for help to arrive can prevent further injuries and help keep you safe.
If you are involved in accident in bad weather or good weather for that matter, it is a natural reaction to want to help or even check on the other driver. It is not always a good idea though to get out of the car. The first thing to do if possible is to get to a safe location. If you are along the freeway and cars are drivable get to the shoulder of the road. The law does allow for you to move your vehicle for safety reasons if necessary after an accident. If a vehicle is not drivable do not just get out of the vehicle. Make sure it is safe to do so, stay aware of your surroundings. Drivers may not see you especially in low visibility. Make sure to activate your hazard lights to increase your visibility. If you are waiting for police to arrive keep your seatbelt on. In extremely bad conditions other drivers trying to slow down or avoid an accident can lose control and add to the wreck.
If you are driving make sure to not use electronic devices or get distracted while driving. Leave plenty of space between you and other vehicles and as always decrease your speed. Less speed will give you more reaction time and maneuverability in bad conditions.
I hope everyone has had a safe holiday season and safe travels.

was the victim of one of three deadly strikes in Afghanistan this week, the latest one just today.
Gray, 38, a 1992 graduate, died on Aug. 8, 2012, as a result of a suicide attack in Kunar province that left five people dead, three of them U. S. military members. Moody Air Force Base in Georgia issued a press release following the announcement of Gray's death.
"Maj. Gray's ultimate sacrifice is a tragic loss for the 93d Air Ground Operations Wing family," said Col. Samuel Milam, wing commander. "He was a tremendous officer and leader. Our most heartfelt sympathies are with the Gray family and the Airmen of the 13th Air Support Operations Squadron during this difficult time."
Gray was assigned to the 13th Air Support Operations Squadron at Fort Carson, Colo. He was deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and his unit was responsible for integrating combat airpower into ground operations, according to the release from Moody AFB. Gray enlisted first as an airman and was commissioned in October 1997 through the Reserve Office Training Corps. After serving for several years as an Airfield Operations Officer, Gray went on to become one of the Air Force's first career Air Liaison Officer. He was currently the Air Liaison's second-highest ranking officer. Gray, whose home is listed as Conyers, Ga., leaves a wife and three children.
According to a story on CNN.com, the attack that killed Gray happened as the troops were exiting a military vehicle and were preparing to enter a compound. An aid worker and an Afghan civilian were killed in the same attack. The two other U.S. military members who died in the attack were Army Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin J. Griffin, the senior enlisted soldier of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division from Fort Carson, Color. and Army Maj. Thomas E. Kennedy, 35, of West Point, NY.
Members of the LHS Class of 1992 are currently working on plans to honor their fallen classmate, according to Patch columnist Jeff Allen who graduated with Gray. Chief Public Affairs Officer 1st Lt. Meredith Kirchoff at Moody AFB said details are not yet known about final arrangements for Gray.
"We will have to coordinate with the Army. Although he was a member of the Air Force, he was assigned to the Army at Fort Carson," Kirchoff said, adding that Gray's immediate family lives in Colorado, so it is not known at this time where his funeral will be held.

Bears have been sighted in the past week in a residential development in Richland Township.
Grandview Estates resident Cathy Wiskemann said she saw a bear in the plan on July 20.
"I called 911 and let them know. The dispatcher said that there had been many calls that day about bear sightings. The police came and said there is nothing they can do as long as the bear is on the move," Wiskemann wrote in an email.
"What concerns me is that the 275-pound female has a cub. If this is the same bear that has been reported to be seen in backyards in West Deer, I worry with a cub that the female could get hostile," she continued.
"I live in a neighborhood with lots of children and pets. I am not an expert on bear behavior, and I understand they are only looking for food, but when they start to bed down in backyards, isn't that a bit dangerous?"
A call to the Pennsylvania Game Commission Monday was not returned. Wildlife conservation officer Dan Puhala did, however, call on Tuesday. Click here to read updated story.
WPXI-TV reported July 20 that a bear had been spotted in West Deer Township, which borders Richland to the east. The bear is showing up close to homes and is going after bird feeders, according to the WPXI report.
Basically, what the game commission recommends is:
Don't feed the bears.
"Black bears will consume almost anything," according to "Living with Pennsylvania Black Bears," an article on the game commission's website.
"They will eat human food, garbage, bird feed, pet foods and livestock feed. They also raid cornfields and beehives.
"Once bears find easily accessible food sources, whether on a farm or in a housing development, they lose their wariness of people and will keep coming back as long as food is available," the article said.
"The best way to get rid of these unwanted visitors is to remove the food source for a month or more, but even then, there are no guarantees."
The game commission recommends storing trash, bird seed and pet food inside a building, garage or secure shed. It also suggests not putting trash at the curb until the morning of collection, and then washing the garbage cans regularly with hot water and chlorine bleach.

principal has a chilly weekend ahead of him thanks to the countless hours his students read to send him to the Polar Bear Plunge.
In October, Greubel challenged his students to cumulatively read more than 500,000 minutes outside of school. As a reward, the principal agreed to take a dip into the . The student body responded immediately and ultimately read more than 5,000 minutes above their goal.
What started as a simple program, has now really affected the entire student body, said the principal.
"We were brainstorming reading incentives for the students and [the plunge] was just one of the ideas," Greubel said. "It's really turned into more than just that, though. It's really motivated our students and the entire school community."
The school's PTO President Kim Long said with a student boy of 300, reaching the goal is a huge accomplishment. Each student averaged about 25 minutes of reading every day outside of the classroom, Long said.
Long said she tried to get the whole PTO board to take the plunge but "no one's really jumping for this thing."
The parents may not be interested, but many of Mayo Elementary's children will be jumping into the bay this weekend with several participating in the South River Youth Athletics' Polar Bear Plunge Team.
"We're hoping to get video and pictures of the plunge," Long said.
Greubel said the incentive really got Mayo Elementary parents's attention and affirmed his pride of the school community and its students.
"I am very excited to do this for our students. They worked so hard for this. They absolutely earned this," Greubel said.

According to Israeli officials, Chomsky tried to enter from Jordan. Israel says he was not allowed in to give a speech at Birzeit University in the West Bank because he had not put in a request in advance. But Chomsky says he was told at the border by Israeli immigration that they didn't like his viewpoint on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The decision to bar him has caused outrage in some Israeli circles that regard the action as an assault on free speech.

Outdoor Corner
by Chris Feeney
'Tis the season for giving, so I thought I would use this week's Outdoor Corner to offer something to readers for the holidays. I'm not any good at wrapping presents and don't think anyone wants to hear me caroling. So instead I thought I'd offer my services.
For anyone out there with ground with brushy fence rows, I offer my services to check the property for quail. The same goes for that CRP if you need an investigator to verify the presence of pheasants. After my search and rescue routine I'd gladly offer any and all fowl for the host's holiday feasting.
I must say that, turkey and ham are traditional menu items at this time of year, but nothing beats properly prepared fowl taken over a good hunting dog. Of course I may be a little biased, and then again my wife could make old shoe leather taste scrumptious.
Those of you whose bird populations are lacking, don't feel left out. I want to be fair to all, so I'll be glad to help you get rid of the pesky big buck that's haunting your ground. We don't want any travelers to feel threatened by such a monster, you know there are so many deer/car crashes anymore. Besides he's eating lots of your crops, rubbing down all your little pine trees and throwing his weight around on your fences. I know it's tough, but someone has to do it.
Let me tell you, I am dedicated to such projects and will give up my time to search out said deer from the start of the bow season all the way through the new year.
Don't let the seasons ruin this offer. I'll be glad to bestow my services in the spring to help you thin out the turkey populations. Even if the Christmas trees are gone there's always April birthdays, Easter and other holidays that warrant some type of gift giving.
There is only so much of me to go around, but I'll also pledge to assist any pond owner. When the ice comes on this winter, I pledge to bring my fishing gear out to sit on top of your waterway. Not only will I determine if there are any fish in the impoundment, but I can also offer important information on water depth, and structure placements courtesy of my Vexilar sonar. Best of all I'll inform you of which lures work best if you ever want to catch a batch. Of course that is a trial by error on my part. Again the gift just keeps on giving as I'll gladly share the fishing bounty and I'll even clean and fillet your holiday feast for you.
With all of these valuable services being offered I'm sure I'll be too busy to shovel snow, mow the yard or any really labor-intensive services that otherwise I might offer. I'm sure it will be difficult to get to every farm out there, but I'm dedicated and willing to try. I'm a firm believer that it is better to give than receive.

Video-game playing has become a mainstream activity, but gamer culture isn't quite opening up at the same pace.
At the center of that culture is machinima, a fast-growing filmmaking method that's more than a decade old but still unknown to most non-gamers. A blend of the words "machine" and "animation," it describes animated work done by recording movements within a video game such as Halo, Grand Theft Auto IV or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 4–1–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Hodgkinson cut after 27 years
Blue fire assistant GM to make room for high-profile replacement
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have taken the first step toward hiring a new assistant general manager by firing the old one.
The Bombers canned long-serving Ross Hodgkinson on Tuesday and will now attempt to bring in a high-profile football man to eventually succeed GM Joe Mack.
"In fairness to Ross, a longtime employee, I don't think it's fair really to critique and offer any reasons in public..." Mack said after the club made the announcement.
TSN analyst Duane Forde is the front-runner and the Bombers are expected to ramp up ongoing discussions.
Forde tops a short list of three candidates, but it's not inconceivable Winnipeg could hire someone entirely off the board.
B.C. Lions assistant GM Neil McEvoy, whose name has popped up, has said he's not interested in the post. Hamilton Tiger-Cats personnel co-ordinator Drew Allemang is also on Winnipeg's list but he's not a high-profile hire.
"I haven't talked to Duane. I'm not sure if Garth (CEO Buchko) has. You'd have to ask him," said Mack. "But he's a very viable candidate and I'll be talking to him soon. We have a list of three or four people we'd like to talk to."
Buchko wants a candidate that can move to the top quickly in a succession plan that could be activated as soon as next season if things don't go well, but more likely in 2015 when Mack's contract expires.
Forde is considered one of the top evaluators of Canadian talent and runs his own combine as well as being TSN's top draft-day analyst. There is also interest in Forde for the vacant GM job in Ottawa and potentially in Hamilton, if they make a change. Edmonton is also in the market for a GM but they are more likely to give head coach Kavis Reed the dual role or promote Ed Hervey.
Buchko wants a year-round football presence in Winnipeg, something Mack is unable to provide due to family commitments in North Carolina. Buchko has stated the next GM of the Bombers will live in Winnipeg full-time.
"We're looking for a guy that can handle administrative duties as well as one that has a real handle on the CIS and Canadian talent," said Mack. "The big thing is we have to delicately figure out where there is interest and who we can talk with. We have to ask for permission from other teams. We haven't done that yet and I don't want to put anyone in a difficult position with another team."
Hodgkinson, who held the title since 2008, handled day-to-day duties such as salary-cap planning, travel, contracting and other administrative duties. He had been with the club in various capacities, including trainer, since 1985.
Firing Hodgkinson, who Bombers chairman of the board Bill Watchorn called "a Blue Bomber through and through" just last week, was a dirty bit of business. There was no shortage of anger inside the Bombers offices and around the league when the news broke.
"Fire Lapo, fire Ross, keep Mack. Some organization you have there in Winnipeg," emailed one league executive.
"Not surprising. That's the way they treat people there. That's why they won't get anyone good to move there," said another team honcho.
Hodgkinson could be gruff and unpredictable but he is highly respected around the league for his work ethic, capabilities and loyalty. It's unlikely he'll be out of work long with potential openings in Edmonton, Hamilton and Ottawa on the horizon.
"Last time I checked I didn't throw any interceptions or take any penalties," Hodgkinson said Tuesday night. "I have a clear conscience on that one. People don't understand the inner workings of an organization. To try and tie my work to the record on the field is ludicrous. I've always been a loyal employee. I have some great memories. I wish the Bombers the best. I don't think I'm done in this league and hopefully I will be on the other sideline doing battle soon."
Following is the club's statement announcing Hodgkinson's firing.
"We would like to take this time to thank Ross for everything he has done for the organization over his time here," said Mack.
"With the club looking at going in a different direction when it comes to our front office management, we felt this was in the best interest of the organization to bring in someone new to fill this position. Our search for a new Assistant General Manager will begin immediately and we hope to have someone in place very soon. We wish Ross all the best."

One in eight American women and one in 1,000 American men will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives. It's estimated that more than two million people are diagnosed with breast cancer and fight for their lives each year.
Breast cancer is difficult to face alone, for both patients and their loved ones. To help in the battle, there are a number of local resources and support groups.
Here are nearby support groups:
MidState Medical Center support group meets on the third Monday of the month. Next group meets on Oct. 15 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. Gather at the oncology waiting area at the hospital, 435 Lewis Ave., Meriden. Phone: 203-694-8669. Free, no preregistration required.
The Hospital of Central Connecticut holds a support group on the third Wed. of every month from 5:30 - 7 p.m. at the hospital, 100 Grand St. New Britain. Contact Donna Boehm, Nurse Navigator, (860) 224-5900 x6307. Free.
Griffin Hospital holds a support group on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. Preregister by calling (203) 888-3993. The hospital is located at 130 Division St., Derby.
Smilow Cancer Center at Yale-New Haven offers a support group on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at 20 York St., New Haven. Call to preregister, (203) 200-6360. Free.
"Support groups are really beneficial," says Debra Somerrs Copit, MD, Director of Breast Imaging at Albert Einstein Medical Center, and a member of the medical advisory board for Living Beyond Breast Cancer.
"When patients are told they're sick, it can be an out of body experience and they aren't taking in everything the doctor is saying. It can be helpful to have someone to turn to and learn from who has gone through the same thing," says Copit, who is a breast cancer survivor herself.
Not only do groups offer emotional support, but being a part of a support group can actually help patients feel less depressed and can help to reduce physical pain, according to a 2001 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Patients who aren't big fans of group settings but still want to reap the benefits can turn to technology. It's hard to duplicate in-person support groups on the web, but the recently launched breast cancer specific social networking platform, MyBreastCancerTeam comes close.
The site and mobile app caters to breast cancer survivors, and women who have been recently diagnosed. Users can find suggestions for doctors and find similar users based on location, diagnosis and age. Members also have access to peer-driven Q&A section where they can read and write posts.
While a web platform may be useful for some, Dr.Copit worries that online forums can sometimes trigger the spread of misinformation. She suggests that patients who can't make it to an in-person support group try calling a phone line.
Living Beyond Breast Cancer has a confidential survivors' helpline that connects patients with others of similar background, going through similar situation. Call (888) 753-LBBC (5222) for more information.
TELL US: Do you know of any other breast cancer support groups for Wallingford residents? How have they helped you?

Ramon Thomas, 34, of Belleville, Ill.-, was sentenced to a term of 96 months for his involvement in local counterfeiting activities, Stephen R. Wigginton, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, announced today. Following Thomas' term of imprisonment he will serve a term of 3 years supervised release, and must pay special assessments totaling $400.
In August, Thomas pled guilty to a four-count Indictment that contained one count of Manufacturing Counterfeit Obligations, one count of Possession of Counterfeit Obligations, and two counts of Passing Counterfeit Obligations. Thomas was caught in November, 2009, working with others to pass counterfeit currency at a Walgreen's in East St. Louis. Thomas was arrested after being found with sheets of counterfeit currency and a pair of scissors that he was using to cut the fake notes in a vehicle in the Walgreen's parking lot. Thomas was also found with a genuine $50.00 bill that he had used as the "parent note" used to create the image for the counterfeit currency. Prior to being charged, Thomas was caught in January, 2010 again attempting to pass counterfeit currency at a barbecue stand in Sauget. Thomas was referred to federal authorities and was indicted on four counterfeiting charges. While on electronic monitoring pending sentencing, Thomas again provided counterfeit currency to another person to attempt to pass at an ice cream shop Overland, Missouri in October, 2010. Thomas evaded capture and the next day his ankle bracelet used for electronic monitoring was found to have been cut and left at the house at which Thomas had been ordered to reside. Thomas was eventually found, arrested, and detained until his sentencing on May 11, 2011.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the United States Secret Service, the East St. Louis Police Department, and the Sauget Police Department. Investigative assistance was also provided by the Glen Carbon Police Department, the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department, and the Overland, Missouri Police Department. The prosecution of the case is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Kevin F. Burke.

According to The Independent, official monitoring by the Government Pesticides Residues Committee in the United Kingdom found dangerous pesticides in every orange examined. Many of the pesticides found in the oranges are suspected of causing cancer and other serious health effects ranging from damage to infants nervous and reproductive systems to vomiting and diarrhea in older children and adults.
About half of the pesticides found in oranges are banned for use in Britain, and more than a third were at levels that exceed danger levels established by the European Union and the U.K. Some of the pesticides found in the oranges tested are classified by the World Health Organization as highly hazardous or moderately hazardous for children under 14.
Six suspected carcinogens and six possible gender-bender chemicals were found in the oranges in various combinations. One orange tested contained seven different pesticides.
Despite all of this evidence, the Government Pesticides Residues Committee issued a statement saying that "no adverse health effects were anticipated" from oranges contaminated with concentrations of pesticides that exceed the legal limits.
But the Pesticides Action Committee (PAC) pointed out that government officials reached their conclusion by assuming that people dont eat much of the orange peel, where the poisonous chemicals concentrate.
"Think how much of the peel we use in cooking, particularly at Christmas," the PAC said in a statement. "This is one surprise in the Christmas pudding that we can all do without."
- October 30, 2007 at 3:57 pm(1) Jos says:
I am just now seeing this article that was written in 2005. Are the pesticides still being used in the oranges today? (2007) Or have they been banned from being used on oranges? Please let me know ecause we eat oranges regularly in the USA.
- December 4, 2007 at 11:56 am(2) Bonnie says:
And where are these oranges grown that they have so many toxic chemicals in them? We need the whole story; not just half of it. Thank you!

Last year my husband and I purchased some bag of oranges and we both got little ill. Nothing serious I hope. Then again this next winter we purchased another bag of oranges from Kroger. They are very good. We ate one or two each a day. After 3-5 days we both were having side pains diahrea etc. We stopped and our illness stopped. So a few days later my husband found one a lonely orange and surprise he got sick again that very evening. ???"????
- January 15, 2009 at 12:51 am(4) Ryan says:
Eat Organic food. Not only are pesticides strictly forbidden in Organic farming, but (in the US at least) soil in which Organic food is grown must be cleansed for no less than 3 years before the food grown there receives the USDA certification.
- December 15, 2009 at 4:01 pm(5) Joy says:
I would suggest at the very least to 'WASH' all oranges by scrubbing them as you would a potato before consuming. Any germs or pesticides that remain on the outside of the orange by the time you buy it will be consumed by you. Think about all of the handling it has gone through before it gets to you?? It is the same as with any fruit, if you handle the outside first, then touch the inside of the fruit before putting it in your mouth, the potential for getting sick is there, … big time.
WASH everything before consumption, even oranges that are wrapped … they've put on a lot of miles before they got to you.
Wash all fruit and veggies, including bananas, melons, apples, kiwi, grapefruit, even pineapple … ALL. The germs on the outside will be drawn down to the inside by the knife you cut it with or by handling the outside then the inside with your own hands … wash FIRST!
It's your biggest defense against illness causing bacteria.
Now, enjoy your fruit … just wash it first.
Using a bit of simple white vinegar and water will suffice.

Is this why orange pealing heated in water and put on fire ant beds it seams to kill the ants . Never thought it could be laced with poison. wow!!
- December 17, 2009 at 6:07 am(7) guidoLamoto says:
Nell- the natural oils in the skin of the fruit evolved to serve as pesticides to protect the fruit. That's what's effective on the ants. Cinnamon is even better.
-The artificial insecticides are dosed to be poisonous on 150ugm insects- not a drop in the ocean to a 150kg human- about a million times too weak. (And who eats the skin?)
-The artificial herbicides attack enzyme systems that animals don't even have.
-This is a another Chicken-Little-the-sky-is-falling! problem.

Yep, that "free trade" is working. Hopefully we will all survive it.

You cannot assume that the pesticide dosage required to kill an insect is not toxic or harmful to people. Dose can be cumulative; some substances are dangerous in minute amounts. In checks, fruit is regularly found that exceeds "safe" limits, or that has been treated with substances banned in the country of sale.
Secondly, where a variety of different chemicals have been used, there may be interactions or synergistic effects. This is a field where insufficient research has been done.
Thirdly, there are plenty of herbicides and fungicides that one would not wish to consume, even in small amounts.
If you plan to use the peel, buy organic. Wash all fruit, including organic.
A note on organic produce and pesticides – organic does not mean there are no "pesticides"; it means only approved organic agents. Organic production uses natural substances for pest control – e.g. pyrethrum, copper compounds etc. Just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's not toxic.
And finally, in answer to "who eats the peel…?". Anyone who cooks or flavours their own food; and everyone who buys commercial packaged products from manufacturers, who process peel, or include it in their products.
Educate yourselves about what your food contains.

Contributed by the San Jose Police Department:
The San Jose Police Department has arrested three suspects in the Jan. 21 home invasion robbery that occurred in the 6700 block of Bret Harte Drive in South San Jose.
At approximately 5:30 p.m., the three suspects knocked on the front door of the victims' residence. When the occupants opened the door, the suspects forced their way inside. At least one of the suspects was armed with a knife. Once inside, the suspects bound both victims with duct tape and secluded them into a room of the residence. The suspects then ransacked the residence, taking electronics, credit cards and cash.
The suspects demanded keys for both of the victims' vehicles, a green 2007 Toyota Highlander and a tan 1997 Toyota Camry, and then fled the scene in the victims' vehicles. Within 24 hours, both vehicles were recovered.
The California Highway Patrol was involved in a high-speed pursuit with the Camry on Highway 152 which exceeded 100 miles per hour. The CHP later located the abandoned Camry near Highway 101 and Highway 152. Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office divers located the Highlander submerged in the Uvas Reservoir after a witness had called in to report suspicious activity.
During the investigation, San Jose Police Robbery Unit detectives identified James Palmerson, Miguel Marez and Ezra Santana as suspects in the home invasion robbery. There is no known link between the suspects and the victims of the home invasion.
On Jan. 24 at approximately 11:15 a.m., SJPD patrol officers located and arrested Palmerson during a call for service. Later that day at approximately 3p.m., the SJPD Covert Response Unit (CRU) arrested Suspect Marez in San Jose. CRU then located and arrested Suspect Santana on Jan. 25 at approximately 4:00 p.m. in Gilroy.
Robbery Detectives continued their investigation and determined that all three suspects were responsible for three previous armed robberies in a crime spree that spanned from Jan. 19-21. All of the robberies occurred in an Jose.
The first robbery occurred on Jan. 19 at 11:42 P.M. in the 4100 block of Monterey Highway. The suspects approached the victim, brandished a knife and demanded money. One suspect took property from the victim while another suspect stabbed the victim multiple times. The victim was treated at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries. The suspects fled the scene.
The following night, the second robbery occurred at approximately 12:05 A.M. in the area of Story Road and Knox Avenue. One of the suspects brandished a handgun and a second suspect physically assaulted a food vendor with a blunt object. The suspects stole an undisclosed quantity of cash from the victim and fled the scene. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The third robbery leading up to the home invasion occurred on Jan. 20 at 1:37 A.M. in the 2800 block of Story Road. In this case, the suspects entered a business that was closing. The suspects brandished a handgun and a blunt object and demanded money. One of the suspects physically assaulted the victim with the blunt object while the second suspect brandished a handgun at the remaining employees. The suspects fled the scene with an undisclosed quantity of cash. The victim received minor injuries and was treated and released at a local hospital.
All three suspects remain in custody on numerous counts including armed robbery, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and burglary. Robbery detectives have recovered all of the personal property taken in the home invasion.
"This case exemplifies the talent and professionalism of our officers," said Acting Chief Larry Esquivel. "Our Robbery Unit's hard work not only solved a violent home invasion, but they solved three other violent robberies as well. I'm proud of the hard work of our detectives and patrol personnel. Working together, they took three very violent criminals off the streets of San Jose."

The History of Modern Batik Art Painting
The art of batik painting was introduced to East Africa in the 1960s from Indonesia. This involved the applying of simple outlines, light to dark dyes and using wax resist as the basis for separating colours. By the end of the 70s, however, a whole new look to this basic craft was emerging through the talents of two brothers.
In 1976 at the height of Idi Amin's regime; Kibuuka left Uganda to attend art schools in Nairobi, Kenya. One year later his older brother, Henry Lutalo Lumu, While in Kenya, Henry developed new techniques that would revolutionize the art of batik painting.
Using the same traditional materials of water-based dyes, wax and fabric that were used in the traditional Indonesian batik, Henry applied the colours in reverse order, starting with darker hues and ending with light. Also, importantly, instead of using dyes in full strength by mere dipping the fabric in them, he controlled the gradual dilution of the same dyes and applied them to the fabric using paintbrushes. This revolutionary approach allowed Henry to create detailed, refined images with dramatically enhanced tonality, shading and depth.
Kibuuka, working closely with his brother, introduced an additional technique to this medium: 'fragmentation.' This modification added increasing background depth, broadness and a richer palette of colours to the batik painting, allowing this novel fine art medium to yield control, detail and richness comparable to acrylic and water-colour painting. This modification has been called 'Modern Batik Art Painting.'

When couples fight, it's often about money. In this week's case, the couple we're talking about is a couple of guys running for Congress, so it should come as no surprise that their argument is getting a little attention.
Already, we've seen City Councilman Dan Halloran, R-Whitestone, and Assemblyman Rory Lancman, D-Fresh Meadows,
Now, Halloran and Lancman are trading barbs over the state's Millionaire's Tax, and Assemblywoman Grace Meng, D-Flushing, is getting in on the action as well.
After Meng and Lancman argued over which candidate was responsible for creating the state's higher tax bracket for the wealthy — both voted in favor of it last year — Halloran slammed them for raising taxes.
"Assemblywoman Meng and Assemblyman Lancman want to spread the wealth around," Halloran said. "That's not the American way. We need to grow our economy and create jobs, not waste our time with half-brained Robin Hood schemes."
Lancman quickly responded to the jab.
"If Dan Halloran thinks that cutting taxes for the wealthy leads to higher job creation, he must have been asleep for the entire presidency of George W. Bush," Lancman said. "Middle-class New Yorkers understand that Republicans have been systematically destroying our education, healthcare and retirement security all in the name of showering wasteful tax cuts on the rich, and Halloran's parroting of Tea Party talking points isn't going to change their mind."
So who's right? Should the state and city stay out of people's business (and their pockets)? Or is it the role of the government to direct money and aid to the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid?

Embattled Alameda County Supervisor Nadia Lockyear is leaving her position. She's been under fire ever since an incident with her ex boyfriend in a Newark hotel. NBC Bay Area Monte Francis has the story.
The wife of state Treasurer Bill Lockyer says she will resign from Alameda County's Board of Supervisors following a string of bizarre public incidents she has blamed on her own chemical dependency.
Nadia Lockyer on Friday told The San Jose Mercury News of her plan to send a resignation letter to her colleagues and constituents, saying she wants to focus on raising her 8-year-old child.
The 40-year-old Nadia Lockyer's public troubles began in February, when she claimed she was assaulted by an ex-boyfriend in a Newark hotel room.
Most recently, an e-mail sent from her account to a Bay Area News Group reporter claimed her husband had given her drugs. Bill Lockyer's office denied those allegations.
Nadia Lockyer's resignation letter said being a mother is her most important role.
Lockyer's resignation still needs to be accepted by the Board of Supervisors, who are scheduled to bring up the matter during a meeting on April 24.
Bill Lockyer released the following statement about his wife's resignation:
"I fully support Nadia's decision to step down as county supervisor and focus on completing her recovery and caring for our son. She has worked hard and well for her district. But the last year took a great toll on Nadia. It's best for her, best for Diego and best for our family that she leave public office."

UR student is finalist for VH1 award
University of Richmond junior and J.R. Tucker High School graduate Manyang Kher, 24, is one of five finalists for the VH1 "Do Something Award," whose winner will be announced Aug. 21.
The award honors a humanitarian 25 years or younger who has performed outstanding work in his or her community to better the world. They are people who are making pivotal advances to create a change in their cause or issue. The top five Do Something Award finalists receive a $10,000 community grant, while the grand prize winner receives a $100,000 grant towards his or her community project. Kher was nominated for his creation of a non-profit organization, Humanity Helping Sudan.
Already in his young life, Kher has completed a long journey, one that began at an early age when he was separated from his family during the Sudanese civil war in his native country. He spent his life in refugee camps and was one of the 20,000 "Lost Boys of Sudan," a group of boys who were displaced and/or orphaned during the war. Kher came to the United States when he was 13, unsure of his future but excited for opportunities.
He lived at the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls in Henrico, where he was able to settle and adjust to American lifestyles, but the lineage to his homeland always remained deep in his heart. He entered the University of Richmond as an international studies major and began work on his non-profit that focuses on creating a food supply for the Sudanese people.
After talking to students and professors from University of Richmond and officials from the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls, Kher gained support to make his project a reality. He became extremely motivated after his first fundraising project generated $5,000 and local organizations such as Whole Foods Market and Nile Ethiopian restaurant showed support.
The food situation in Sudan is dire and one that is only deteriorating amid growing economic problems, food shortages, rising prices, displacement and internal conflicts.
The nation's Crop and Food Security Assessment report shows that for 2012, 4.7 million people will be food-insecure, an increase of 1.4 million from last year and that the nation will only produce half the food it needs. The rapidly approaching world crisis that cannot be ignored is one that Kher wants to help solve with his efforts.
"There are people who need it, and there is nobody who can help them," Kher said. "They don't have a home, they don't have shelter, and it is hard for them to make a living, so it was something I felt like I had to do – help these people with their lives. I feel the pain of the people and have a personal connection."
During the past three years, Kher has been working diligently to implement his project that seeks to provide aid and assistance to the Sudanese people in Ethiopia, Somalia and Southern Sudan.
Through personal experience and communication with people still living in the area, he has created sustainable solutions to help alleviate causes of suffering in the region. His objectives are to address the massive food shortage in the region, provide agricultural training and cultivation of indigenous crops (maize, sorghum, millet, vegetables and fruits) and to assist with the health and medical needs of the refugee community.
"I have done a lot of things in a quick amount of time, almost like an organization that has been around for 30 years," said Kher. "We have done things quicker and easy because we are true to what we do. By growing things locally and organically, it costs less, and we become more efficient for ourselves. We want to give them things that can help them quickly and for the long term. They can be a farmer for life, or a fisherman for life and set themselves up for the future."
Kher understands that the locals in the region need tools so they can take advantage of their environmental assets and help provide for themselves. He wants to provide fishing nets for the people, chickens and roosters for eggs, well repair for drinking and cooking water and create a synergistic community of empowered individuals that provide directly for their families.
There also will be a local agriculture training center that allows students to work the land and provides a place where families can grow their own food in the community garden. The focus is to implement these tools so that the people will not have to rely on others.
Kher's motivating factor in his drive to help his homeland is that its people are in such desperate need.
"I was suffering at one point and my life was not promising, but someone helped me and showed me that things would get better," said Kher. "Their life was not promising from the beginning but I will make their life one where they can try to make a family of their own and live the life they want to live. The more I help and the more food I provide, the better they will be."
On Aug. 21 at 9 p.m. a panel of judges and voters on VH1's website will determine the grand prize winner. Kher is guaranteed $10,000 for his organization as a finalist but already feels that he has won.
"This is a great thing for me," he said. "The contest is not an easy one to win, but at this point I have won because people have pulled for me and will see the problem. I've been there from the beginning and I know the life, and I just want for theirs to be better."

A Wortham man remains in the Anderson County jail Tuesday after the burglary of a local storage facility and a subsequent attempt to evade officers during an incident Monday evening.
According to Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor, deputies received a call for a burglary in progress at Stor-Mor Storage, located on the 4200 block of U.S. 287 South at about 6:30 p.m. Monday.
"The owner of the facility spotted the suspect — 32-year-old Chad Donovan Baker — with a truck and trailer," Taylor said. "When the suspect realized he'd been caught, he fled."
Deputy Ronnie Howell pursued Baker south on U.S. 287, stopping him before he reached Elkhart.
"There were several stolen items loose on the trailer that were scattered along the road," Taylor said. "Baker had cut the locks on three storage units and had taken household items like vacuums, a baby bed, etc.
"We recovered most of the property and there was some damage to the items that fell from the trailer," he continued. "We also recovered a set of bolt cutters used to cut the locks."
Baker was arrested for three counts of burglary of a habitation. No bond had been set as of Tuesday.
Storage units, especially those in rural locations with little or no security, are often a target for thieves, the sheriff said.
"They are an easy mark, because no one is there and all they have to do for access is cut an individual lock," Taylor said. "Those facilities that require a security code are safer, but not 100 percent theft-proof.
"We are just glad to get another thief off the streets."
