Occupational therapy is intended to enhance a person's ability to do basic self-care activities, useful work, and leisure activities. This therapy focuses on the coordination of many abilities required for even simple activities:
These abilities can be impaired in many ways.
Ability Needed
Type of Ability
Possible Impairments
To feel and move
Impaired sensation and perception
Restricted range of motion
Weak muscles
Short endurance
Poor balance
Loss of dexterity and coordination
To create and execute a plan
Difficulty paying attention
Loss of concentration
Impaired judgment
Memory problems
Poor problem-solving skills
To want to do the task and to persevere until it is completed
Perceived incompetence
Lack of persistence
Decreased coping skills
Occupational therapists may detect impairments by observing the person, by doing specific tests (such as balance tests), and by talking with other health care practitioners, family members, or caregivers. Therapists assess needs by observing the person doing a task in a natural environment. They try to identify potential problems with the social and physical environment. For example, family members' attitudes or inadequate lighting may interfere with the person's ability to do a task, or electrical cords across walkways may make walking hazardous.
People with impairments work with the occupational therapist to determine and prioritize goals and to select appropriate techniques and activities. For example, if people have difficulty eating with utensils, therapy may include activities that develop fine motor skills, such as inserting pegs on a peg board. A memory game may improve recognition and recall. Adaptive techniques can help people use their strengths to compensate for impairments. For example, a person with a paralyzed arm can learn new ways to dress, tie shoes, and fasten buttons. Activities are made more challenging as people improve.
Occupational therapists recommend devices that can help people function more independently (assistive devices). For example, a person with arthritis can be fitted with a splint to prevent joints from freezing in an abnormal position (deformity) or with a device to support damaged joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and bones (orthoses). Therapists may construct as well as fit such devices. Or for a person who has had an arm amputated, therapists may recommend an artificial arm (prosthesis) that includes a pincer needed to hold a utensil. Most occupational therapists can recommend appropriate wheelchairs and train people who have had an arm amputated to use their artificial limb or other devices to help them with daily tasks.
Poor balance, weak legs, or dizziness
Canes, walkers, or wheelchairs
Shower chairs
Grab bars on the side and back of the bathtub or toilet
Weak grip
Built-up handles on eating utensils or shoehorns
Limited reach or movement
Grabbers that can pick items off the floor or from a shelf
Hand problems
Tools with built-up handles or with spring-loaded or electronic controls
Difficulty standing up because of back problems or weak legs
Raised toilet seats
Seat-lifting chairs
Chair leg extenders (to make the seat higher)
Paralysis (including quadriplegia) and other disorders that severely limit function
Sophisticated computer-assisted devices
Impaired vision
Larger dials on telephones
Impaired hearing
Telephones with a flashing light to replace the ring
Impaired memory
Automatic dialing telephones
Drug organizers and reminders
Pocket devices that record and play back messages (reminders, instructions, and lists) at the appropriate time

Songs on iTunesMatch not showing on iTunes
Hello there.
I recently added an album to my iTunes library by dragging the songs (as I've always done in the past). Songs did copy, because when I look them up on the iTunes search bar the album shows and it says it has 11 songs. When I double click on it.... nothing happens. It takes me to the full song list. Even more. I just checked on my iPhone and the entire album has already synched via iTunes Match! Any ideas? Thanks a lot! |

Product Information:Never wait for hot water again. The average home wastes over 11,461 gallons of water per year due to unnecessary wait for hot water to reach showers and faucets. The Grundfos UP 15-42BUC5 Recirculator Pump for hot water saves money, saves water, and saves time with its HWR (hot water recirculation) technology. In typical plumbing, water is pumped from the water heater through the pipes to the tap. Once the water is turned off, the remaining water in the pipes cools and the wait for hot water occurs the next time the tap is turned on. The Series UP 59896150 pump attaches to the water heater through the hot water pipe and constantly circulates hot water through the pipe from the heater to the tap. They water in the pipe is always hot and no water is wasted.Features an open system, 16.5 U.S. GPM (gallons per minute),1 speed, 1/25 Horse Power, Bronze 1/2" Sweat Housing with Integrated Check Valve, 115 Volts and 85 Watts. Never wait for hot water again. For use with circulation of hot or cold water in domestic hot water recirculation, cooling and air conditioning systems, heating systems with non-oxygen barrier tubing applications. | |

Meet Our Bears
Lugnut (ID 2097) was born to one of Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's research bears (ID 2015 aka "Hubcap") in January of 2004. Females in this long-term monitoring project are commonly nicknamed after the trapsite where they are first captured, and their daughters' names often follow the same theme.
In late March that same year, biologists met the five pound Lugnut and her two brothers for the first time in an excavated den in Northern Maine. She spent the following winter of 2005 with her family in another excavated dirt mound. Weighing thirty pounds, she was equipped with her very first VHF radio collar. This allowed biologists to follow her movements for the next seven years to where we see her today.
Her first summer on her own was a bountiful one; she gained a remarkable 38lbs over the course of the foraging season, weighing eighty-eight pounds in the den the following winter! Natural food availability and abundance varies from year to year and this summer proved to be a good year for bear foods.
Early on, it became fairly obvious that Lugnut seemed to have an affinity for denning in the base of hollow cedars, which is not uncommon for young females in this study area. It is also common for bears to show preference to specific den types. Early in the winter of 2009, Lugnut, at 130lbs, gave birth to her first litter of cubs (two males) in the base of a big hollow cedar. She did a good job of raising her cubs as we saw them both the following winter weighing about 40lbs each.
Although Lugnut did not give birth to her 2nd litter of cubs last year as expected, she is pregnant this year! She has denned in a cavity of the uprooted sugar maple as you see on your screen.. She weighs close to 200lbs (this year being another great natural food year for bears). Lugnut should be giving birth soon!

Generally, urban and frontcountry trails are built to a high standard. Backcountry trails are normally primitive, doing no more than necessary to get you to your destination. What all these trails have in common, is a need for their users to be able to look after themselves. Telephones, ranger cabins and trail checks are almost non-existent - and that's the attraction of hiking the wilderness areas of BC!
So, be prepared. Carry a map and emergency supplies - especially rainwear and a flashlight. Remember, away from the road it's a wilderness.... and it sure is beautiful country!
Trails in British Columbia Trail information is provided in our descriptions of BC Parks and in the Hiking & Backpacking sections of the Recreation category.
Trails on Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands & Sunshine Coast Popular trails on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and the Sunshine Coast of BC are described below.
The information for Islands trail section is kindly provided in part by the Vancouver Island Trails Information Society, through their three superb Hiking Trails guides on Vancouver Island.

Regarding CVE-2012-0779,
I see that there are updates for just about every operating system other than Solaris to cover this vulnerability.
1. Are Solaris 10 SPARC and x86 affected as well?
2. If so, will there be a patch released and when?
Sorry if I have posted this on one too many forums.
I do not know whether or not the Solaris 10 SPARC and x86 versions are affected or not.
I suggest that you just download and install the latest version 18.104.22.168 for these systems from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
I just downloaded and tested both the SPARC and x86 version from that site.
Sad to say only version 223 is available at that location.
Even if you don't have a Solaris system to check, extract the files and you will see the folder name is as follows.
I did test on a Solaris system and it confirmed that these are indeed 223.
Thus, I asked the question, isn't Solaris affected as well?
How may I push this up for action? The security community is rather adament that we patch for this CVE.
Sorry for my misinformation; http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ states that 126.96.36.199 is the latest version for Solaris.
Can you send a PM to Chris Campbell and point him to this topic?
I sent the PM as requested.
I am also curious to know when Adobe will be ceasing to support Solaris for Flash. I would assume with all the rumors about HTML5 and support dropping of for Android that it is possible support for Solaris Flash may be waning. If so, I need to let some developers know soon.
Oddly enough, did you see that patches came out for Flash in Solaris?
I haven't figure out if this is a security update, but the timeliness is a bit close.
Oracle tends to be somewhat behind when they release updates for Adobe Flash Player. I do wish they would indicate the version being provided in the update, though....
(Update) apsb12-14 doesn't mention a thing about Solaris. If only the other flavors could be as well written, they wouldn't be vulnerable to these new issues either, just like Solaris.....
I laugh as I watch you update your systems, while I bask in invulnerability.

Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Guide to Choosing Soaking Tubs and Jetted TubsThis article series discusses current best design practices for kitchens and bathrooms, including layout, clearances, work space, and accessible kitchen and bathroom layout, clearances, turning space, grab bars, controls, etc. We include advice on choosing and installing kitchen countertops, cabinets, and kitchen or bathroom flooring, sinks, and other plumbing fixtures and fixture controls such as faucets. A list of kitchen and bath product manufactures and sources is included. Our photo (left) illustrates a Japanese style bathing tub installed in a Minneapolis home. Traditional Japanese bathing (wash thoroughly before ever entering the soaking tub) also includes deep tub designs, often fed from a natural hot spring and sometimes installed in a cascade of several tubs of varying temperatures. As discussed in Chapter 6 of Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction: Material choices for jetted tubs and other oversized "soaking" tubs are the same as described above. However, with the added stress of higher water levels, multiple bathers, and the vibration of jets, the choice of material is more critical. The most durable type of tub, enameled cast iron, has limited offerings and are very heavy so they are not often used. Acrylic is an excellent choice, as are some of the proprietary materials, such as Americast (American Standard), Vikrell (Sterling/Kohler), and Armacryl (Kallista/ Kohler). A tub with a nonslip surface is recommended for safety. Soaking or Jetted Tub Designs & ShapesJetted tubs come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and depths and are designed for either a drop-in or niche installation with a tile flange. Typical rectangular or oval units range from 5 to 6 feet long, 32 to 45 inches wide, and 18 to 24 inches high, and many offer an optional skirt to finish the front and conceal the motor and plumbing. A drop-in requires a custom-built surround and requires more floor space (see Figure 6-52).
How to Fix Noise Issues with Jetted Tubs & SpasJetted tubs can be rather noisy. If this is a concern, look for a unit with flexible hoses connected to the pump, which helps reduce the vibration and noise transmitted to the tub. Some manufacturers also offer quieter jet mechanisms as an upgrade. Types of Jets Used in Whirlpools & Spas or TubsSome manufacturers offer different types of jets with different flow characteristics. Some jetted tub fittings circulate air, some water, and some both, producing the most vigorous massage. It is best to try out a system at a showroom if possible. Also pay attention to jet locations. Jets high and on the sides will provide swirling water, while jets placed where bathers will sit and directed toward the back and other stress points will provide a more effective massage. Some manufacturers will customize jet locations. Other options to consider are:
Mechanicals: Pumps & Heaters for Whirlpools, Jetted Tubs, SpasPumps for jetted tubs or spas are usually located at the opposite end from the drain and fill area. Some manufacturers allow the buyer to specify the pump location for better access. Look for a pump with automatic protection against burn-out if accidentally run dry. Pumps range from 1/2 to 3 horsepower, and many manufacturers offer a horsepower upgrade for a modest price increase, often a worthwhile expense. The pump comes with a cord and plug that requires a GFCI-protected receptacle. Watch out: Since the receptacle is inaccessible, it should be either downstream of an accessible GFCI-receptacle or on a circuit with a GFCI breaker. Locate the receptacle where it does not block access to the pump. To ensure safety, make sure that the unit purchased is UL-listed for the entire system, not just the individual components. Heaters for Whirlpools & Spas or TubsIf the occupants expect to take long soaks in the tub, an accessory heater is advisable. Energy-efficient models capture waste heat from the motor and pump to provide a modest degree of supplemental heat, while others use a conventional electrical heating element that can maintain the water temperature indefinitely. For installations
where the volume of the tub exceeds the capacity
of the home's water heater, some manufacturers offer
an instantaneous water heater that will heat the water as it
enters the tub.

This is used a lot. Cut out a lot of frustration and made tasks much easier. Anyone who does this kind of work for a job or a hobby should invest in one of these.

After about 6 holes drilled, the tip of the bit broke off and you can not buy a replacement, Also the aluminum housing shreds little chips of metal each use. Do Not Buy!
Harrisburg, IL
I got this from a friend who said he couldn't stand using it so, for that reason alone I'll give it two wrenches. That said, I have to take one wrench away because of how this thing is built. First and foremost, this jig is built in another country and it shows. The price on this is falling everywhere for obvious reasons. When I tried to use this on a piece of walnut the first thing I noticed was that the jig slipped off the work piece unless you really clamped down on it and then you mar the wood. Fail. I gave it to someone I don't like.
Livonia, MI

Drill bushing is not long enough, and the clearance between the drill bit and bushing is too large. And the unit is made of aluminum, so a little bit of it gets drilled away with each use. A burr starts in the hole which can transfer an imprint onto the clamped wood. I saw the exact same unit elsewhere, without the Craftsman name, but obviously from the same manufacturer in China. Not AT ALL what I expect from Craftsman. Very disappointng. I'm returning it ASAP.

The jig seems to be built to last forever. I feel it could have been priced a few bucks cheaper but at least I know I will never buy a new one.

From a functionality standpoint, you should know exactly what you're getting here and it does what it's supposed to. The bit appears to be pretty good quality for how much I've used it (garage shelving). However, the fixture is very soft aluminum and the bit will rip into it slightly for about the first 12-15 uses leaving the wood stained with aluminum filings. If you aren't fussy about your joints, then it doesn't matter, but I would use this quite a few times on some scrap pieces before you go using it on some #1 wood where the joint may be visible. You can get the same quality bit and a better (and more universal) fixture for much cheaper by going with a Kreg bit kit *************. (It was what I was actually looking for when I came into Sears, but it was not there).

I had the same problem as everyone else. The tip of the drill bit broke off and I could not buy another. However, since being this I could not but another I matched the bits in size to two Titanium bits and use those for my pocket assembly and as for the small size of fastener, I changed out the head for a larger one with more surface area. Give it a try, the thing works! =o)
Paramus, NJ

Do Not Buy this product!!! The tip of the drill bit broke off after 3 holes drilled. I brought it back to the store and a clerk who new me as a good customer replaced it at no charge. I tried the new one on a different project a few months later and I got 4 holes drilled before the tip of the step drill broke on that one. I tried to return it but to no avail this time(new clerk and new manager who were not sympathetic to a customer they did not know). They do not stock the drill bit sepatately so I am now looking for a new source for the step drill bit or a different jig. Craftsman products are not what they used to be.

Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN),[1] formerly Nokia Siemens Networks, is a multinational data networking and telecommunications equipment company headquartered in Espoo, Finland, and wholly owned subsidiary of Nokia Corporation.[2] It was a joint venture between Nokia of Finland and Siemens of Germany known as Nokia Siemens Networks. NSN has operations in around 150 countries.[4] In 2013, Nokia acquired 100% of the company, with a buy-out of Siemens AG.[5]
The company was created as the result of a joint venture between Siemens Communications division (minus its Enterprise business unit) and Nokia's Network Business Group. The formation of the company was publicly announced on 19 June 2006.[6] Nokia Siemens Networks was officially launched at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona in February 2007.[7] Nokia Siemens Networks then began full operations on 1 April 2007[8] and has its headquarters in Espoo, Greater Helsinki, Finland. As of 2009, according to Siemens, Siemens only retained a non-controlling financial interest in NSN, with the day-to-day operations residing with Nokia.[9]
In January 2008 Nokia Siemens Networks acquired Israeli company Atrica, a company that builds carrier-class Ethernet transport systems for metro networks. The official release did not disclose terms, however they are thought to be in the region of $100 million.[10][11] In February 2008 Nokia Siemens Networks acquired Apertio, a Bristol, UK-based mobile network customer management tools provider, for €140 million. With this acquisition Nokia Siemens Networks gained customers in the subscriber management area including Orange, T-Mobile, O2, Vodafone, and Hutchison 3G.[12][13][14] On 19 July 2010, Nokia Siemens Networks announced it would acquire the wireless-network equipment division of Motorola.[15] The acquisition was completed on 29 April 2011 for $975 million in cash. As part of the transaction approximately 6,900 employees transferred to Nokia Siemens Networks.
On 23 November 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks announced that it would refocus its business on mobile broadband equipment, the fastest-growing segment of the market. This refocus resulted in the restructuring of the company and the planned layoffs of 17,000 employees. The plan would reduce the company's work force by 23% from its 2011 level of 74,000, and would help the company trim annual operating expenses by $1.35 billion by the end of 2013.[16][17]
After the restructuring process, Nokia Siemens Networks has brought in a positive turn around to its businesses. The bottom line and operating margins have risen to approximately 10%, which is a significant shift from the previous sub-zero margins, with positive cash flows for the last six quarters.[18]

Lawful interception controversy[edit]
In 2008 Nokia Siemens Networks provided Iran's monopoly telecom company TCI with technology that allowed it to monitor the phone calls of its customers.[24]
News reports claimed that the company had provided internet censorship capabilities to the Iranian government.[25] In June 2009 Nokia Siemens Networks stated that, whilst they had provided lawful interception capable equipment or services to Iran, capable of monitoring local voice calls, they had not provided equipment or services that provided deep packet inspection capabilities, speech recognition, Internet or network monitoring or web censorship capabilities.[26]
In July 2009, Iranians sympathetic to the 2009–2010 Iranian election protests began to boycott Nokia products in Iran.[27]
Former Nokia executive Chip Pitts has said that issues are raised from the supply of a voice monitoring capability to Iran by Nokia Siemens Networks.[when?][citation needed] In September 2010 Nokia-Siemens stated that it halted work relating to call monitoring in Iran in 2009, having divested its call monitoring business in the same year. It also had limited its activities in Iran and stated that it was "aware of credible reports that the Iranian authorities use communications technology to suppress political activity in a way that is inconsistent with that government's human rights obligations".[28]

Schools are reporting large and unexplained overpayments in holiday pay in Novopay's end-of-year cycle.
An email was sent to all schools yesterday confirming all 92,000 staff had been paid in the end-of-year pay cycle. But new problems had been found, and about 5000 non-teaching staff would get their holiday pay a day late, it said.
The New Zealand Educational Institute (NZEI) says the error-riddled Novopay system is making school staff "seriously stressed" as they try to complete end-of-year payments.
Wellington East Girls' College acting principal Anne Greenaway said she had already found 13 errors in the school's expense report, mainly holiday pay overpayments to relief workers or support staff. "[Novopay] doesn't seem to be able to manage those sorts of complications in the payroll system."
A "classic example" was a young man, who did just 30 hours casual labour on the school grounds in July, being paid 32 hours of holiday pay.
"He was not working here for that time," Ms Greenaway said. "It suddenly appeared on our report randomly. It's some of those strange things that just seem to appear."
Reports were usually 15 pages long, but the latest required staff to scrutinise 38 pages of payroll data.
"We don't have the trust in the system any more, so we do have to check it. And there were at least 13 errors that we know of.
"It's been very frustrating and it's taken hours of work."
Education Ministry chief information officer Leanne Gibson said the ministry and contractor Talent2 were working hard to ensure holiday payments went through as smoothly as possible, but regretted the delay in holiday payment to some staff.
Fortnightly pay for permanent teaching staff that would have fallen during Christmas week has been brought forward to December 21.
NZEI national president Ian Leckie said Novopay was not improving, despite ministry claims.
"The Ministry of Education has unleashed a catastrophe and we don't believe this is something that can be sorted this side of Christmas."

Geoffrey Rush is an Australian actor who was born on July 6, 1951, in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. He started out as a stage actor, but broke through to film stardom with his lead role in the movie Shine (1996),
"If there are two baskets that you put actors into, I'd like to be put into the serious, deep actor basket rather than the personality basket."
which earned him a Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actor. Other notable parts include the title role in the TV feature The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2005) and Captain Hector Barbossa in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series (2003-2011). He was also an executive producer of the Academy Award-winning The King's Speech (2010).
Early Life
Geoffrey Rush is an Australian actor who was born on July 6, 1951, in Toowoomba in Australia's Queensland district. His father, Roy, worked as an accountant for the Australian air force and his mother, Merle, as a department store clerk. They divorced when Rush was 5 years old, after which he lived with his mom at her parents' house.
Rush graduated in 1971 from the University of Queensland in Brisbane with a bachelor's degree in English. He enjoyed the dramatic arts, and that same year the Queensland Theatre Company discovered him while he was acting in a revue.
Rush pursued a stage career and even lived in Paris from 1975-1977, enrolling in the Jacques Lecoq School of Mime, Movement and Theater. A couple of years later he appeared onstage with an actor named Mel Gibson in a Sydney production of Waiting for Godot. The two even roomed together; little did they know the success that awaited them.
Career Success
Rush found consistent work as an actor, but it was not until the film Shine (1996) that he became a household name. Rush portrayed the brilliant David Helfgott, who ended up in a psychiatric hospital for 15 years after succumbing to the pressures of his musical talent. Co-starring with Lynn Redgrave, Rush won both a Golden Globe and an Oscar as Best Actor for this role.
After the success of Shine, Rush admitted, "It's been a very fulfilling career, and I don't want to suddenly throw all that out the window and do something trashy that pays a lot of money. But I will have to confront that nasty thing of, well, how much money."
Rush continued to receive accolades, including winning a second Golden Globe and his first Emmy Award, in 2005 for his role as comedic actor Peter Sellers in the TV feature The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.
Audiences also known Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa in the Pirates of the Caribbean films (2003-2011) featuring mega movie star Johnny Depp.
In his long career, Rush is one of fewer than two dozen actors to ever have won the "Triple Crown of Acting"–an Academy Award, Emmy Award and Tony Award. He has also been nominated for, or won, several BAFTA and SAG awards.
Working on the other side of the camera, Rush became a first-time executive producer when he helped to take The King's Speech (2010) from the stage to film. Rush continues to act in TV series and films today.
Personal Life
Rush met actress Jane Menelaus when they were both acting in a tour of The Importance of Being Earnest.

Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski are moving to Access Hollywood
The Sochi Olympics will not leave many lasting memories as far as the U.S. team goes. Shaun White didn't medal, both USA hockey teams were ruthlessly dispatched by Canada and didn't win gold. The Dutch monopolized the speed skating and America's curling teams were dismal. The U.S. figure skating women also failed to medal but mark that down to treacherous figure skating judging.
But one bright spot in the Olympics, other than the gradual, continuing recovery of Bob Costas' ocular membranes, was the emersion of Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski as star figure skating analysts and fashion mavens.
Not wanting to wait four years to see them again either, NBC has offered the pair a job as fashion analysts for Access Hollywood. They will head to Los Angeles to critique the fashion at the Academy Awards, hopefully staying objective enough to call out red carpet celebrities for inadequate twizzles.

I was never really an exerciser, though for several years after heart bypass surgeries I obediently attended cardiac rehab classes and walked all over the West Side.
Now, as I see 80 over the horizon, but far enough away so as not to increase my anxiety, I have encountered a very efficient way to stress my body and my mind twice a day.
Besides, since the election is over, I need to make efficient use of my couch time.
Perhaps you are guessing: Posey has taken up Pilates.
No, surely he is into Zumba. Has he put ice skates on with additional padding so as to not break anything when falling?
None of the above.
I now have become an avid user of two daily newspapers to increase my health and vitality.
Each day, two Charleston news sheets come to our apartment door.
One, I call the "morning paper." The other is the "evening paper," which allows me to see comic strips earnestly desired. Doonesbury and Pearls Before Swine cause laughter and an increased breathing rate.
I must also mention that the "morning paper" contains Zits, a true commentary on adolescence and its perils.
I am writing of exercise.
Let us consider a recent issue of one of the papers. As I remember it, there were sections A, B, C and D. Add to that the classifieds, which display both used cars and used everything else.
To begin: While seated on a comfortable sofa with a cup of hot, reduced-caffeine coffee close at hand, grasp section A, and attempt with one fluid motion to open same after having read the first page headlines and news.
Following my dad's advice, use the wet finger method for separating the newsprint pages. If energetic enough, puff air in the general direction of the adhering pages and immediately use the wet finger to make the second and third pages visible.
Due to the way the management of the papers set up things, you will surely have to also view the last page in the section to get the end of featured stories. This involves some complexity of actions and a visual search of the one-word headlines to arrive at the continuations.

H.S. Football: Zuri Glover, Eastside edge Kennedy
"This was a big step forward," Graham said. "We just did it for the young guys, for next year, and for the seniors. Coach came out here and told us to just play. That's what we did. We didn't leave anything on the field. Everybody stepped up and played their part. Even the younger guys, they stepped in and did their job."
Eastside (4-6) took a 7-0 lead with 6:29 to play in the first quarter on Glover's 32-yard touchdown reception from senior quarterback Japhon Howard-Pickett. Glover caught Howard-Pickett's pass about eight yards from the line of scrimmage, made an impressive, quick cut to elude a Kennedy defender and raced to the end zone for a score.
Kennedy produced its own impressive drive early in the second quarter.
Senior quarterback Rashon Ison scored from the 1 with 9:56 to go before halftime. Senior receiver/running back Miguel Miller's two-point conversion run moved Kennedy in front, 8-7.
Kennedy could have taken that one-point lead into intermission, but Ison's 62-yard touchdown pass later in the second quarter was negated due to a penalty and three successive Kennedy penalties enabled Eastside senior kicker Kevin Vecchio to drill a 38-yard field goal with no time on the clock to give Eastside a 10-8 lead.
The second half was much more eventful, but Johnson was proud that his team persevered.
"This is what had to be done and they knew that," Johnson said. "The younger guys knew they had to do it to roll into the following year, to go into it with a great attitude. And the seniors wanted to go out on a good note."

NEW YORK -- J.K. Rowling has a new website -- details to follow.
The site, Pottermore.com, is a new project for the "Harry Potter" author, spokeswoman Rebecca Salt said Thursday. The site is "not a new book" and "not directly related" to the final Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," which comes out next month, she said.
"We aren't saying any more than that!" Salt said.
"Pottermore" was trademarked in 2009 by Warner Bros., which distributes the Potter movies. The trademark description of Pottermore suggests an interactive site "providing on-line chat rooms and electronic bulletin boards" and "on-line facilities for real-time interaction with other computer users concerning topics of general interest."
The site itself reveals little beyond a scrawled message from the author that reads "Coming soon ...". Rowling already has a personal website, at www.jkrowling.com.
Pottermore.com also has a Twitter account, twitter.com/pottermore, and a YouTube countdown clock, which projects an author announcement for early Thursday, June 23.
News of Pottermore.com emerged Wednesday night with messages sent to nine Potter fan sites and an official Potter Twitter account. Each site received one letter, the letters spelling out "pottermore." A leading Potter fan site, www.the-leaky-cauldron.org, alleges that it has seen "a preview of Pottermore and it is, in a word, breathtaking."
"That is all we are permitted to say at the moment."
