The following procedures may be done to prevent further damage during a stroke :
Decompressive Craniotomy
Occasionally, a large stroke can lead to significant brain swelling. When this happens and medications do not help relieve the swelling, a surgical intervention may be needed to prevent the pressure buildup within the skull from causing further damage to the brain. In this procedure, a flap of bone overlaying the swelling may be temporarily opened in order to relieve the pressure. If the stroke is of the hemorrhagic type, the blood clot may also be removed to prevent further brain injury.
Catheter Embolectomy
This is a procedure used to treat acute strokes. A tiny, flexible tube called a catheter is threaded through the blood vessels until it reaches the area in the brain where the clot is lodged. Efforts are made to remove the clot through the catheter; or, clot-busting agents are given through the catheter to the location of the actual clot.
Mechanical devices may be used to remove a clot. New devices have been approved by the FDA that may provide a quick way to remove the blood clot. The devices have either a corkscrew tip or a special ring used to remove the clots. They are placed in a catheter and threaded through blood vessels to the area of the blockage. When the device is in the proper location, it is used to remove the clot blocking the blood vessel. The advantage of these devices is that they can remove the clot in minutes, opening blood flow and decreasing the level of damage to affected tissue.
Other surgical procedures for stroke fall into the prevention category.
Two conditions in the arteries in the brain or the arteries that lead to the brain can cause a risk of stroke. These can be the result of atherosclerosis, which are fatty deposits in the arteries. This can lead to:
- Narrowing of an artery that will eventually shut off the blood supply to the brain
- Ulceration of a fatty deposit known as plaque that makes it likely to break off and obstruct the artery further down stream
Surgery attempts to correct either or both events. Very careful evaluation is need to determine which lesions will benefit from surgery.
In addition, conditions at birth, post-surgical, or other heart or valve conditions can lead to stroke. Surgical interventions may be necessary to help decrease the risk of stroke. The following surgical interventions may be necessary to manage or prevent stroke:
A narrow area of your artery, usually the carotid artery, can be bypassed by sewing in a replacement tube above and below the obstruction.
This surgery is nearly always done on the carotid arteries, which lie on either side of your windpipe. It may also be done between a scalp artery and a vessel inside your skull.
After attaching you to monitoring devices in the surgical suite, you will be under general anesthesia . The skin over the involved artery or arteries will be cut. A piece of your skull will be removed, if necessary. A piece of tubing will be sewn between a healthy artery and the diseased one. The bypass may go around a short narrowed segment of a carotid artery, or it may connect an artery inside the skull with one from outside the skull.
Very similar to an arterial bypass and requiring that a bypass be used temporarily during the surgery, an endarterectomy carves out the inner lining of the carotid artery. It leaves behind the outer layers to carry the blood. There are technical reasons why one procedure is preferred over the other. CEA is performed much more commonly than arterial bypass for atherosclerotic disease of the carotid arteries.
A catheter is threaded through the blood vessels and into the carotid artery or, less commonly, another artery in the brain. A balloon is introduced through the catheter and inflated within the blood vessel, in an effort to widen the blood vessel and improve blood flow through it. A mesh tube called a stent is often left within the artery to keep it as open as possible. A mesh screen may be placed within the artery to catch any bits of plaque or clots that might otherwise flow upward into the brain.
Even though endarterectomy is more invasive, it may be preferred over angioplasty for some patients. Angioplasty may be an option for patients who are have a high risk of complications from CEA.
Aneurysms are weak spots in arteries that balloon out and may rupture, allowing blood at high pressure to pump into neighboring tissues. It is sometimes possible to repair an aneurysm before it causes a major hemorrhagic stroke. An enlarging aneurysm may produce pressure in the brain before it ruptures. Or, it may leak slowly enough to allow detection and repair before the major bleeding begins.
Brain aneurysm surgery is brain surgery. The goal is removal or clipping of a small weak spot on a blood vessel. Once visualized, the standard procedure is to clamp a small metal clip around the base of the aneurysm.
There are alternatives that can be accomplished without surgically entering the skull. Aneurysms are connected to the circulation and can be approached through blood vessels by threading long, thin catheters into them. It may then be possible to block the aneurysm from inside, perhaps by inserting metal coils or squirting them full of tiny beads or other compounds. These will cause a clot to form and scar.
Four heart valves open and close to allow blood to flow properly through the heart. Surgery may be necessary if one or more of the valves does not function as it should. Problems with heart valves can significantly increase the risk of strokes. The valve may be repaired or replaced with a prosthetic valve during open or minimally invasive surgery.
Minimally invasive surgery is becoming more common. Small incisions will be made in the chest. Endoscopic, keyhole, or robot-assisted surgical techniques may be used to reach the heart for surgery. The heart is stopped temporarily during surgery; breathing and blood flow is done by a heart and lung machine. An incision is made in the heart or aorta to reach the valve. The valve is repaired or replaced, and the incision areas are stitched. The heart is started again.
A blood clot can form on the valves or in the chambers of the heart. This can also happen with a prosthetic heart or valve. If the blood clot is not reduced with medication, surgery may be done. Catheter assisted or open surgical procedures may be necessary to remove the clot.
A newer technique called thrombus aspiration may also be used to remove the blood clot in or around the heart. This technique uses a small vacuum to suction the clot during surgery.
Ventricular and atrial septum defects are present at birth. The septums are walls separating the atria or the ventricles within the heart. In certain cases, there is concern that these defects can be associated with increased risk of strokes. These are commonly repaired during surgery using sutures or a tissue patch.
When the atrial septum does not close properly after birth, it is called a patent foramen ovale (PFO), also known as a hole in the heart. It is a common finding, and it does not cause any problems in most people. In certain scenarios, there is concern that a PFO may increase the risk of stroke. A catheter may be guided through a vein in the leg until it reaches the heart. A special device is placed over the hole. In time, new heart tissue surrounds the implant.

Preston — A Lebanon couple was killed in a head-on collision Friday afternoon on Route 2 near the intersection of Hewitt Road.
Mildred Tyler, 63, and William Tyler, 64, both of 150 Scott Hill Road, Lebanon, died in a crash at about 5:30 p.m. after the car they were driving was hit by 57-year-old Thomas Flaherty of Willimantic. Flaherty was taken to The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, where he was treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to state police in Montville.
Flaherty was listed in fair condition at Backus Saturday evening.
Flaherty's 2010 GMC Sierra was traveling west on Route 2 when it crossed the solid double yellow line into the path of the Tylers' 2012 Honda CRV, police said. Both Tylers were trapped in the car, police said. Mildred Tyler, who was driving, died at the scene. William Tyler, the front seat passenger, was taken to Backus, where he later died. Police said both were wearing seat belts.
The accident is under investigation. Police are asking anyone with information to call Trooper Matthew Belz at Troop E in Montville at (860) 848-6511 ext. 5056.

CHICAGO -- The Cubs reportedly extended their search to South Korea for a starting pitcher, but their purported plan to add lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu didn't pan out.
The Cubs were believed to be one of several teams to submit a qualifying bid on Thursday for Ryu, 25. The Rangers, Indians, Phillies, Angels and Dodgers were presumed to be the other suitors, with the Dodgers securing the right to negotiate with Ryu.
A source told MLB.com the highest bid was $25.75 million, which the Hanwha Eagles accepted. The Dodgers have 30 days to negotiate a contract with Ryu's agent, Scott Boras.
Ryu made his professional debut in 2006 and went 18-6 with a 2.23 ERA and 205 strikeouts in 201 2/3 innings that season, winning both Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors in Korea. He helped the South Korean national team win gold in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, beating Cuba in the championship game.
This past season, the left-hander was 9-9 with a 2.66 ERA, 1.09 WHIP in 27 starts, striking out 210 over 182 2/3 innings.
The Cubs are in the market for at least two starting pitchers to join Jeff Samardzija, Matt Garza and Travis Wood.

Former Bucs coordinator Monte Kiffin happy to be back
Quote from: michael89156 on January 23, 2013, 12:05:14 AMFormer Bucs coordinator Monte Kiffin happy to be backChip Kelly is happier that Monte Kiffin is back.Cowboys DC Monte Kiffin has on-field history with new Eagles coach Chip Kelly, and its not goodNew Cowboys defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin will see a familiar face across the sidelines this season, but he probably wishes he didnt have to. On Wednesday, the Eagles made a splash by hiring former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly.Known for his high-powered and explosive offensive, Kelly dominated Kiffins USC defenses as Oregon averaged over 601 yards of offense and 50 points while posting a 2-1 record.Here is a look back at those three meetings:2012: Starting with the most recent match-up, which occurred just a few months ago, Kellys Ducks had a field day in a 62-51 win. It was pretty much pick your poison for Kiffin in the Trojans. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota racked up 400 yards of total offense and scored four touchdowns while running back Kenjon Barner rushed for 321 and five touchdowns. In total, Oregon gained 730 yards of offense, including 426 yards on the ground. Simply put, there was no stopping the No. 4 ranked Ducks.2011: Kiffin notched his only victory against Kelly in this game when USC shattered Oregons title hopes and ended a 21-game home winning streak with a 38-35 thrilling victory. Kiffins defense held Oregon in check for most of the night. In fact, the Ducks trailed 24-7 until a LaMichael James 1-yard touchdown run with 7:05 to go in the third quarter sparked an Oregon explosion. The Ducks finished the night with 474 yards of total offense, but Kiffins defense forced two key turnovers and did just enough when it mattered most.2010: In a year where Oregon reached the BCS title game, the Ducks ran over USC, 53-32. Kiffins defense gave the Trojans momentum after stopping Oregon on its first two drives of the game. But after that, it was all downhill. Doak Walker Award winner LaMichael James torched USC with 239 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. The Ducks also soared through the air as Darron Thomas passed for 288 yards and four touchdowns, three of which were caught by Jeff Maehl. Oregon finished just a yard shy of 600 and left Kiffin slamming his clipboard in his first ever game against the high-flying Ducks. http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/2013/01/a-look-back-at-how-monte-kiffins-usc-defenses-fared-against-chip-kellys-oregon-offenses.html/
Appreciate all that Monte did for the defense and helping to win the Bucs Super Bowl, but there always will be an asterisk for me on Monte's tenure in Tampa for the way he quit on the team at the end of his last season to focus on helping his kid out with his new coaching gig. Bucs were playoff bound when news got out that Monte was leaving and defense went in the tank after that for a 4-game losing streak and no playoffs.
Tell him I give him the middle finger.

Phillies take high schooler Crawford with 16th pick
Club sees shortstop advanced defensively, excited to work with Rollins
MILWAUKEE -- J.P. Crawford said on MLB Network he hopes to learn as much as he possibly can from Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, then one day take his job.
That's kind of the point, isn't it?
The Phillies selected Crawford on Thursday with the 16th overall pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft. Crawford is a 6-foot-2, 175-pound shortstop from Lakewood High School in California, the same school of former Phillies top picks Shane Watson (40th overall selection in 2012) and Travis d'Arnaud (37th overall selection in '07). He also is the cousin of Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford.
"It means a lot especially coming from Jimmy Rollins down to me," Crawford said on MLB Network, asked about the Phillies drafting him. "Hopefully I can learn something from him and take his place."

With it's second-round selection, Philadelphia selected catcher Andrew Knapp, who attends the University of California, Berkeley.
Knapp hit .350 with 16 doubles, eight home runs, 41 RBIs, a .544 slugging percentage and a .434 on-base percentage in 54 games this season.
Crawford has talent, has the pedigree, but it will be a while until he is in the Phillies' lineup, if he successfully climbs the ladder to get there.
"He's a little bit of an advanced defensive player at shortstop," Phillies assistant general manager Marti Wolever said. "Offensively, he's a little bit ahead of the game, too. We're probably looking at three to four years before he's knocking at the door here in Philadelphia."
Of course, there is risk taking a high school position player. Since the Phillies selected Rollins in the second round in 1996, the most accomplished high school position players drafted by the organization are Nick Punto (21st round in 1998), Lou Marson (fourth round in 2004), Domonic Brown (20th round in '06) and Anthony Gose (second round in '08).
That is not a very long list.
"He's certainly ahead of the curve compared to some of the other kids we've taken, but once again, you have to remember where some of the kids were taken," Wolever said. "It's contingent upon so many things, but he is further along than most high school players we've taken. I think he's much more accomplished, being from Southern California and the competition level where he has played throughout his high school career and certainly some of the showcase events he's participated in over the years."
Crawford, 18, caught the Phillies' attention last year when they scouted Watson. Crawford and Watson have been teammates since tee ball.
"I'm crying," Watson tweeted.
Lakewood High School has developed more than its share of talent over the years. Lakewood coach Spud O'Neil told MLB.com recently that Crawford is the best all-around talent he has coached in 30 seasons there.
"You never know for sure," O'Neil said, "but I've had Chris Gomez, Damion Easley, Travis d'Arnaud, who is with the Mets, Mike Carp with the Red Sox -- J.P. fits right in there with all those guys."
The Phillies certainly hope so. Wolever praised Crawford's defensively abilities, and said he also can be a solid hitter.
"Physically, I think he's just got to fill out a little bit and growing into his body a little bit more," Wolever said. "We think down the road he's a .280, .290 hitter in the middle of the infield with a chance to steal some bases. He's got tremendous instincts for the game, which for a young guy is going to allow him to do some things others couldn't do at this point in time. Maybe 10-15 possible more home runs, contingent on how strong he gets."
Crawford has a college commitment to USC, but that should not be an issue. Crawford seems to want to get started on his professional career.
"Philly better be ready for it!!" he tweeted.
Crawford, who hits left-handed, hit .432 with eight doubles, two triples, two home runs, 10 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 25 games this season with Lakewood. He also is the school's all-time leader in hits (179), runs scored (162), stolen bases (73) and walks (72).
Day 2 of the Draft continues with Rounds 3-10, streamed live on MLB.com on Friday, beginning with a preview show at 12:30 p.m. And Rounds 11-40 will be streamed live on MLB.com on Saturday, starting at 1 p.m.
MLB.com's coverage includes Draft Central, the Top 100 Draft Prospects list and Draft Tracker, a live interactive application that includes a searchable database of Draft-eligible players. You can also keep up to date by following @MLBDraft on Twitter. And get into the Draft conversation by tagging your tweets with #mlbdraft.
In the Pipeline: Crawford is three to four years away before potentially competing for a spot on the Phillies' 25-man roster, so it is virtually impossible to predict what will happen to him along the way or what path he will take to the big leagues, if he makes it at all.
One of the Phillies' top prospects is shortstop Roman Quinn, who is playing with Class A Lakewood. Wolever said "it's always great to have competition" and theoretically Quinn and Crawford could compete for a big league roster spot down the road. However, these things have a way of working themselves out. Somebody might develop faster than the other. Somebody might not develop at all. Somebody might get traded.
Only time will tell.
Phillies select backstop Knapp in second round
MILWAUKEE -- The Phillies have some pretty good catchers in their organization, but they found another one they liked Thursday.
They selected catcher Andrew Knapp in the second round (53rd overall pick) of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft.
MLB.com said in its scouting report about the University of California, Berkeley backstop: "He has a lot of work to do defensively behind the plate, though he does have a solid arm. He is showing, as he has with some very strong summer ball performances, that he can hit. Knapp has the chance to hit for average and power. The team that feels his defense will improve with more time behind the plate and some patience, will likely take him early in the hopes he can be a solid offensive-minded backstop."
Knapp hit .350 with 16 doubles, eight home runs, 41 RBIs, a .544 slugging percentage and a .434 on-base percentage in 54 games this season.
His father, Mike, also was a catcher at Cal. The California Angels drafted him in the 15th round in 1986. He played 11 seasons in the Minor Leagues.
Day 2 of the Draft continues with Rounds 3-10, streamed live on MLB.com on Friday, beginning with a preview show at 12:30 p.m. And Rounds 11-40 will be streamed live on MLB.com on Saturday, starting at 1 p.m.
MLB.com's coverage includes Draft Central, the Top 100 Draft Prospects list and Draft Tracker, a live interactive application that includes a searchable database of Draft-eligible players. You can also keep up to date by following @MLBDraft on Twitter. And get into the Draft conversation by tagging your tweets with #mlbdraft.
In the Pipeline: The Phillies have catching depth in the organization, but they can always use more.
They have Tommy Joseph (Triple-A), Sebastian Valle (Double-A) and Cameron Rupp (Double-A) at the upper levels, but that should have no effect on Knapp. He can progress at his own pace as these things always sort themselves out.

CNHI News Service
DUNCAN, Okla. — Police are still looking for a .22-caliber revolver used to kill an Australian college student last week, despite a lead from a teenager arrested in the case who said the gun was handed off to someone else.
Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, told Duncan police Lt. Joe Shoemake the gun was given to someone with two brothers in the Stephens County Jail on armed robbery charges, according to a police affidavit.
That led police to search the home of a man who said he'd been visited by the three teens later arrested in the case, but he didn't want to get involved and didn't have the gun. Police did not find the weapon at the man's house.
Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Edwards, 15, were also arrested in the Aug. 13 murder of Christopher Lane. The teens were bored and looking for someone to kill when they spotted Lane jogging near his girlfriend's home, prosecutors said.
Luna fired a single shot at Lane from the back seat of a car, as Edwards rode in the passenger seat and Jones drove, investigators said. Police arrested the teens four hours later. Luna and Edwards were charged with first-degree murder; Jones was charged as an accomplice.
Jones has said he is scared for his life and "would get killed" if he talked to police, the affidavit stated.
Jones asked to speak with Shoemake about an hour after the teens' arrest but later told the lieutenant he didn't want to talk. Shoemake told him police needed to find the gun, lest a child find it and get hurt.
That's when police learned the teens had used a .22-caliber revolver in the shooting, according to the affidavit. Jones said he'd hidden the gun inside an air intake on his 2003 black Ford Focus, though officers searching the car did not find the weapon.
Police did find .22-caliber ammunition, as well as a disassembled 12-gauge shotgun under the spare tire in the trunk, according to the affidavit.
Details for this story were reported by the Duncan Banner.

"I was completely warned about the autograph room but it was overwhelming," said Boone, the Cincinnati Reds infielder. "I just got so tired and got a headache that I had to quit about 45 minutes into it -- it was that bad. I said I have to take a blow here. I have to go back and finish it."
Among the items are 60 dozen baseballs -- that's 720 -- plus at least 200 other items, including bats, jerseys, workout tops, home plates and gloves.
"There are huge tables and thousands of baseballs," Boone said. "So far, it's been a lot of fun."
Boone did pinch-hit in the eighth inning and flew out to right. He stayed in the game at third base.
The All-Star experience only got better for Boone, who was playing in his first such game.
"For the most part, I know everyone," Boone said about mingling with the National League players. "There's a couple guys, even more so today that I was able to kind of strengthen the relationship and get to know them more."
Sitting in the dugout also will be a treat and a chance to pick other players' brains. For a day, Boone is teammates with such superstars as Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols.
"There's been a lot of that," Boone said of the conversations. "That's what I always felt was one of the great things about being a Major League player is the people you meet and the relationships you develop. That's truly one of the rewarding parts."
It was quite a family affair. Aaron's older brother, Seattle Mariners second baseman Bret Boone, was on the American League team. They had a cheering section at U.S. Cellular Field that included grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and children -- plus friends.
"Having played in one and having experienced all the things that happened, I'm excited for them to experience the same thing," said Bob Boone, Bret and Aaron's father and the manager of the Reds. "And I get to watch."
Aaron and Bret are the 14th set of brothers to become All-Stars, and their family is the first to send three generations to the midsummer classic. Bob Boone made four All-Star teams, and his father, Ray, was a two-time All-Star.
The three generations posed for a family photo before the game.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – The first week of the college football season didn't disappoint, and the second week looks like it will be even better.
Below is a look at three games from the opening week and what they mean going forward followed by a look at three big games from next week and the impact they will have.
Week 1 recap:
South Carolina 17, Vanderbilt 13
For South Carolina, several issues need to be worked through. Steve Spurrier will have to figure out how to balance his offense and make sure Connor Shaw stays healthy. Marcus Lattimore looked healthy in his first game coming off ACL surgery, but the passing game didn't offer much relief in the terms of balance.
The Gamecocks' defense was shaky at times as well, and against a team with better weapons than Vanderbilt, South Carolina will have a lot of problems if it can't fix holes in the secondary and get a better pass rush from Jadeveon Clowney.
For Vanderbilt, this was a good sign of things to come. Jordan Rodgers looks to have the making of a stellar quarterback. He needs some more experience, one or two more playmakers and an open phone line his brother, Aaron, who quarterbacks the Green Bay Packers.
Coach James Franklin is seen as a savior of sorts to get Vanderbilt to a respectable level in the SEC. The Commodores were just one or two plays away from having knocked off the nation's No. 9 team, so that respect may not be too far away.
Tennessee 35, N.C. State 21
There weren't many people expecting Tennessee to do great things this season, and Vols fans would have probably just been happy to squeak out a win. However, when Tyler Bray showed an affinity for the deep ball and Cordarrelle Patterson made them forget about the loss of Da'Rick Rogers, the expectations got bumped up a little bit.
Patterson had 93 yards receiving and 72 rushing, with a touchdown both ways to power the Vols. Zach Rogers added 87 yards receiving and a touchdown, and Justin Hunter was a model of consistency with nine catches for 73 yards.
Bray will face much tougher tests than the Wolfpack, but he has plenty of weapons to get the job done. If Tennessee can develop its offensive line and inside rushing attack, its offense will continue to have big games.
That's what coach Derek Dooley needs from them, because his job is in jeopardy if Tennessee misses out on a bowl again this season. Dooley downplayed what the win over N.C. State meant for the future, and he was right to do so because any build up of expectations could prove detrimental to his employment if Tennessee has another late-season collapse.
Clemson 26, Auburn 19
In a somewhat similar matchup to UT-N.C. State, this was a game of what were considered evenly matched teams. Clemson was much higher ranked, but it was playing without top wideout Sammy Watkins.
Auburn showed flashes of brilliance on offense, but defensively left much to be desired. Clemson was able to exploit Auburn with its balanced attack and moved the ball consistently all game. Clemson was a yard away from taking an 11-point lead in the final minutes, but settled for a field goal. Andre Ellington was able to rush for 231 yards for Clemson, and that kept all options on the table.
Offensively, Auburn moved the ball well, too, but couldn't convert at crucial times. Tre Mason had 106 yards rushing and Onterio McCalebb had 82, but neither found the end zone. Kiehl Frazier had a few big throws for the Auburn, but didn't utilize many options. Receiver Emory Blake caught four balls for 109 yards and a touchdown, and tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen had four catches for 71 yards. Only two other players had catches and neither gained more than 8 yards.
Auburn will need to spread the ball around more than that to keep its offense from sputtering.
Games to watch in Week 2 (times Eastern):
Auburn at Mississippi State, noon, ESPN
This game provided one of the best matchups and most exciting finishes last season. Auburn edged out the Bulldogs 41-34 when it stopped Chris Relf at the goal line as time expired. Auburn went on to a 7-5 record in the regular season and Mississippi State went 6-6. Both teams won their respective bowl games.
This game could carry similar implications regarding overall record and help build the team's confidence. Auburn has to rebound from the loss to Clemson and will be on the road. The game is more important to Auburn because it has a slightly tougher schedule the rest of the way through the season. The teams' nonconference slate is virtually identical and both play all other teams from the SEC West, including Alabama, LSU and Arkansas.
Auburn, however, will face Georgia and Vanderbilt from the East while the Bulldogs get Tennessee and Kentucky. If Auburn starts 0-2 it could be devastating because LSU and Arkansas both come calling in the next three weeks, setting up a potential 1-4 start, assuming it beats Louisiana-Monroe.
A win for Mississippi State could be the springboard to a 7-0 record before a date with Alabama.
But, unlike the Tigers, this will be Mississippi State's first test of the season. The Bulldogs opened with a 56-9 drubbing of Jackson State so where they match up against SEC opponents is anybody's guess. The Bulldogs were ranked No. 14 this time last year when Auburn toppled them, but they sport no ranking this season.
The hallmark of a good team is taking advantage of opportunities and winning the close games. Both teams will be looking to pass that test.
Florida at Texas A&M, 3:30 p.m., ESPN
It's Aggie Spirit meets the Gator Chomp. The Midnight Yell meets The Boys From Old Florida. The 12th Man meets the Ghost of Tim Tebow.
Texas A&M gets its welcome to the SEC from the Gators, who will be traveling further west in the regular season than they have since playing Southern California in 1983 and their furthest trip of any kind since the 2006 BCS national championship game in Glendale, Arizona.
For their trouble, the Gators will face an opponent trying to prove its endless advertisements from last year weren't a waste of time and money, though justifying this one will take decades.
And to top it off, A&M has a new coach and hasn't played a game yet. Good luck with that.
Actually, it should be a good game. Florida looked like it didn't know what it was doing against Bowling Green on Saturday so the Gators should fit right in. A&M will have to create a new identity in the SEC and will likely try to stake its claim to the title of Team That Least Needs A Running Back.
If history is our guide, that title usually spells disaster for an SEC team. (Remember when Kentucky had Tim Couch? Remember their running back? Yeah, didn't think so.) While at Houston, Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin presided over an offense that set records for total offense and passing yards. But how many quality defenses did Houston see? If you said fewer than eight, you would be correct.
While A&M is carving out an identity, Florida will be trying to figure out its identity as well. Mike Gillislee looks like the go-to guy for Florida's offense and it didn't look like Florida had much of a second option behind him. Maybe the Gators held back because they were playing Bowling Green. We'll find out in a week.
Georgia at Missouri, 7:45 p.m., ESPN2
The Tigers also will be vying to show they belong, and bless their hearts, they're trying so hard to be Southern. It takes more than wheat fields (none in the South), cowboy hats (uh, that's Texas, guys) and riding in a boat without a drop of water in sight to fit in. Taunting Florida, Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia is a good way to start, but you should probably beat them first (and, no, 1966 does not count).
What Missouri does have, though, that will fit in is a fairly good football team. The Tigers went 7-5 last year and then won the Independence Bowl. They also picked up a win over fellow newcomer Texas A&M.
The SEC is a different brand of football, for sure, but Missouri has held its own in the Big 12 for several years and should be OK. The Tigers should not, however, think that because Georgia slogged through some early ineptitude against Buffalo that it is weak and vulnerable.
Georgia is a sporadic team, but was dealing with several players out due to suspension and injury, all of whom will be back this week. The Bulldogs undoubtedly held back some of their gameplan as well, which will not be true against the Tigers.
A win by Missouri would get its season off to a great start. A win by Georgia would get March Richt off the hot seat for a couple of hours.
It's not an easy opening week for the two new teams. They could both win or both lose. That will be the biggest difference the Tigers and Aggies both face. Easy weeks just don't happen.

text: QUINCY — The Quincy Village Board took the next step during Tuesday night's meeting in moving ahead with a $2.9 million sewer project. After a brief public hearing during which Craig Shumaker, a representative with Fleis & Vandenbrink Engeneering Inc., outlined the project the board voted to move forward with the project plan. There was no public objection to the project. Village Manager Eric Zuzga said the upgrades to the system are something the village has needed for the last few years. "The securing of the S2 Grant really helped us to move forward," he said. The S2 Grant for $326,335 will go toward engineering work and site plan work for the improvements to the existing structures in the village. After looking at several different options the board approved the plan, which will carry a capital cost of $2.6 million based on a reduction in size. The original project had a projected cost of over $3.3 million. Zuzga said he doesn't expect the cost of the project to go any higher than the $2.6 million. Extra money was built into the cost to cover other expenses that may occur once the project begins. The work will include the draining of two retention ponds, the removal of sludge from those ponds, removal of existing equipment, a new diffused aeration system, replacing of equipment at three of the village's nine lift stations, upgrades to the main lift station and other improvements. Zuzga said the lift station improvements will be big. "We are having to Band-Aid together three of the stations at this point to keep them operational," he said. The village is looking to secure a USDA Rural Development Revenue Bond to pay for the project. The bond would be a 40-year bond and would be paid back at a rate somewhere around 2.5 percent. Zuzga said unfortunately the village doesn't qualify for grant money from rural development because of its existing water rates. However, it does qualify for a poverty interest rate through the USDA program. The village hasn't raised its water rates since 2007. The projected cost for a typical residential customer would be $8.60 a month after the project is complete. A detailed rate study is to be completed as part of the proposed project that will review overall system rates, charges and needed reserves. Income generated from rate surcharges for high volume/high strength users may result in a lower cost to a typical residential customer once the rate study is complete. With Tuesday night's approval Shumaker said the soonest the project would begin would be September, because of the acquisition of bonds and permits. He said the earliest completion date would be the summer of 2014. Zuzga said he is hoping the village can help to speed up the process with the ordering of equipment ahead of time.

I read there is a way, with help of smart installer we can run QT application on nokia s60 3rd edition Feature pack 1.
I am developing a QT application. When I tried to build a sis package, I made sure the smart installer is enabled.
I am using QT Creator (Qt Creator 2.2.0 : Based on Qt 4.7.4 (32 bit))->Projects->Symbian Devices->Run (Self-signed certificate), and checked Create Smart Installer Package.
Is there any installation step missed out?
On running it generates two sis package, test.sis and test_installer.sis
On installing the test_installer.sis these are the messages I get in order
'Application not compatible with phone. Continue anyway?' when I continue->
'Nokia Smart Installation' pop's up, on continue->
'Preparing installation message' ->
'Reverting changes' ->
'Device not supported message'
What is the problem. The device I used to install is Nokia e51 (s60 3rd Feature Pack 1), with Software Installation set All, Online Certificate check set Off.
Is there any comprehensive list of the QT supported devices (irrespective of device manufacturer).
Thanks in advance.

Skagua, as it is known by the Tlingit, means" windy place." Skagway, a place of many names, and much history is the northern terminus of the Alaska Marine Highway. It was known to thousands of hopeful gold rushers as the gateway to the gold fields. Skagway retains the flavor of the gold rush era and the character of such colorful inhabitants as Soapy Smith "King of the Frontier Con Men"; especially on Broadway, with its false-front buildings, and in the Trail of '98 Museum, with its outstanding collection of gold fever memorabilia.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
Capture the beauty of the Klondike in an exciting new way during this Chilkoot Trail hike, and a rafting adventure on the Taiya River.
This tour has been recommended by Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society based on its philosophy that guided experiences in nature should inspire people, young and old, to act responsibly for the protection of our planet's vital ecosystems.
Depart the pier for a walking tour along the Chilkoot Trail, and on to the Taiya River. The centerpiece of Skagway's Gold Rush history, the Chilkoot Trail was once the main route to the riches of the Klondike. Today, the trail is a tranquil place of incredible beauty. During your hike, you will wind your way through the lush rainforest, which abounds with wild flowers, edible berries, birds and animals, and crosses streams filled with spawning salmon.
The slow pace of your hike will allow for plenty of photo stops. Throughout your hike, your guides will provide you with an entertaining mixture of natural history and Klondike folklore. Upon arrival at the banks of the Taiya River, your fun-filled, 40-minute rafting trip will begin at the tidal estuary. You will ride past fields of beach greens and wild iris, then watch as the fjord's granite walls rise steeply to snow-capped peaks with hanging glaciers. Eagles and seals may be spotted patrolling the mouth of the river for salmon.
Your tour will conclude with a stop along the river. Here, you will have an opportunity to take in the spectacular panoramic beauty of your surroundings while snacking on homemade cookies and hot drinks.
Following your visit, you will return to the pier.
Please note: This tour involves 2 miles of hiking over uneven terrain that is very steep and narrow in spots. This tour is recommended for guests in good physical condition. The raft trip has no whitewater. The minimum age to participate on this tour is seven years old. Wear a warm jacket and hiking shoes, and bring a hat, gloves and insect repellent from the ship.

The North Central Regional Library, headquartered in Wenatchee, is heading back to Federal Court on October 25, 2011 for oral argument on summary judgment motions in light of the ruling in favor of the library by the Washington State Supreme Court.
The 5 county rural library district is defending itself in a case brought against it by the Seattle based ACLU. The library's 28 branches use an internet filter to meet federal requirements and make collection decisions about internet content. The library filters the internet narrowly including pornography and gambling categories. The library uses the filter as a first line of defense in controlling illegal internet activity. The ACLU wants the library to remove the filter.
According to Dean Marney, Director, "If we take the filter off there is nothing between us and someone who wants to use a library computer to access child pornography or other illegal and inappropriate material. We are a publicly funded institution. Our mission is to promote reading and lifelong learning. It is crazy to think that we should be required to use tax dollars to allow open access to internet pornography or to become illegal casinos. Removing the filter is unfair to the people who support our community libraries, jeopardizes the safety of kids, and creates a hostile environment for our patrons and employees."
The North Central Regional Library district is the largest library district in the state serving Chelan, Douglas, Ferry, Grant, and Okanogan counties.

Judaism and Christianity are two different belief systems. They differ from each other on foundational issues such as the identity of God and atonement from sin. Yet these two disparate belief systems point to the same Jewish Bible as a fundamental element of their respective faiths. The doctrines of Judaism and Christianity are diametrical opposites,

Because of the fierce proselytizing in Israel today by evangelical Christians, I share your page often. Keep up the great work. You are the number one force against the reckless "Jews for Jesus" movement.
Your presentation helped our URJ members feel that they are not alone in the struggle and that they have someone to turn to with real expertise...I was especially grateful for your sensitivity and respectfulness in dealing with the needs of the Reform Jewish community.
The issues that you raised in your presentation are important for all high school students to hear...our students voted to ask you to speak again.
Thank you so much for an exciting and absorbing afternoon... in fact no one left early, an unusual occurrence at our luncheons.
Your lecture opened our eyes...we loved your presentation...we visited your web site and it is a wonderful supplement to your seminars... Jews for Judaism is a very good idea.
Your remarks were enjoyed by the adults present ... but they were especially helpful to our teens who are all to often the target of conversionary zeal. I was surprised to see how many of our members purchased copies of your booklet.
A most informative, inspiring, motivating and, at times, shocking talk. A true wake-up call for our community...its message will have a lasting, practical and positive effect.
Your presentation was not only substantive and entertaining, but held the teens in attendance riveted in their seats. Aside from your extensive rabbinic knowledge, your diverse experience in scuba diving, skiing and martial arts was most impressive and engaging for the kids.
Your four session workshop was fascinating... our youngsters were mesmerized. You got "rave reviews" across the board.
Several kids commented upon how much they had learned and how interesting they found the whole presentation....the strategic suggestions you brought them are exactly what they needed
Your presentation was dynamic and perfectly geared for a class of bright, inquisitive 10th graders.
Your presentations were masterpieces of drama, wit, sensitivity and, most important, exceedingly informative. Additionally, you have literally saved for the Jewish people many who otherwise would have been lost to us.
All of our students were impressed and uplifted by your talk... We look forward to a continued relationship with your organization.

Leonard is a 30 year old camp body brought in because Schiano was his college coach. He won't make the final 53 and doesn't even factor in.
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
Quote from: JDouble on April 24, 2013, 04:48:24 PMLeonard is a 30 year old camp body brought in because Schiano was his college coach. He won't make the final 53 and doesn't even factor in.I disagree. I think he makes the roster as the #3 back. Blount will be traded, so that will leave us with Martin - Rookie - Leonard.
I think the eventual roster at RB will break down like...DougRookieMichael Smith (as much as some may disagree/dislike)
Good RB's slip every year.
I think if Monte Ball or Stepfan Taylor is there at the end of the 2nd/early 3rd....we have to think about going after them. With one of those two paired with Martin we'd have a backfield comparable to the Texans. For a run first team, that is big. Especially late in the season and into the post season. Other than those two, there is a plethora of solid RBs that will be available in the later part of this draft. They aren't special like Ball or Taylor, but we should be able to get a solid upgrade over what we have in the 5th or 6th round.

Sydney Ishaug fundraising for Dance with Courage
Sydney and Peyton Ishaug fundraising for TRUE FRIENDS
Dance Arts Centre teams up with Camps of Courage and Friendship each year to raise money for kids with disabilities to attend summer camp.
The mission of Dance with Courage is to provide opportunities for dancers and families to have a positive impact on the lives of children with disabilities. We encourage community involvement, sponsorship and personal growth through supporting and inspiring others.
This is the 7th year and with your help we can make this our biggest fundraising year to date! The dancers raise money through donations from family, friends and the community, so sign up and support a dancer today and help a family like the Karbo's.
Dear Friend,
We feel very blessed to have benefitted from your generous gift to Camps of Courage and Friendship. Our son is deaf, blind, developmentally delayed and autistic and requires constant supervision for safety and assistance in order to participate in any activities so without Camp Friendship our son would never have been able to experience summer camp. Ryan very much enjoyed camp where he was able to meet new people and enjoy the outdoors. He especially loved the boat ride where he could feel the wind in his face.
Thank you for your thoughtful gift. I know that without your help many children would be unable to attend summer camp. Please know that your continued support is very much appreciated by those who benefit from your generosity.
Thank you,
The Karbo's

On Wednesday, workers in Rhode Island will be among the few in the nation able to, by law, take several weeks of paid leave to care for a newborn, adopted or foster child, or to care for a seriously ill relative.
Rhode Island, where paid family leave was approved by wide margins in the state House and Senate in just one session in July, joins California and New Jersey as the only states to offer workers family leave that is paid not by taxpayers or employers but, like Social Security, out of a pool of employee paycheck contributions.
Washington state has yet to implement a similar law that lawmakers passed in 2008. New York and Massachusetts have paid-leave bills pending. Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire have formed task forces to study the issue. Several states, including North Carolina, Colorado and Oregon, have considered it and may move bills again.
The moves on the state level, advocates say, are a sign that people are tired of waiting for Congress to act to bring workplace laws dating to the 1930s, when a majority of mothers were at home, in line with a modern workforce, in which a majority of mothers work.
"It's about time we did this. We need laws that recognize the way we work and live has changed," said Gayle Goldin, the Rhode Island Democratic senator who successfully championed the paid-leave law there. "Internationally, we stick out like a sore thumb."
Now, lawmakers in Congress are attempting to pass paid family leave as a federal law.
"We're seeing that some of the best Fortune 500 companies already offer paid leave — Ernst & Young, Google, Deloitte," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who recently introduced the Family Medical Insurance Leave Act, or Family Act.

I still think we sign Bradshaw after the draft. He'll be perfect in this offense
I love the idea of signing Bradshaw, but he has visited with many teams including the Steelers, and I think the foot must be pretty bad for him to still be a Free Agent.
Abraham and Freeney...sure. They are old. short term band aids. Bradshaw is a different story though. He just turned 27 a few weeks ago and just a few years ago was a top running back. He's well rounded and has loads of value.....so there has to be something else going on.
I'd much rather have Freeney than Bradshaw. I feel he is always hurt at some point.

Pc accused over 'Gerrard CCTV'
7:49am Thursday 9th January 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
A policewoman has appeared in court accused of misconduct linked to CCTV footage of an alleged disturbance near the home of Liverpool and England footballer Steven Gerrard.
Pc Helen Jones, 31, is alleged to have recovered the footage of an incident involving the millionaire player while off-duty.
It has been reported that an altercation took place with another man after Gerrard got out of his Range Rover outside a shop near his home in Formby, Merseyside, last August.
Today, Jones, dressed all in black, stood in the dock at Sefton Magistrates' Court in Bootle, Merseyside, accused of misconduct in a public office on August 8 last year.
Full details of the alleged offence were not given during the brief five-minute hearing and no plea was entered.
The offence can only be dealt with by a judge and jury at a higher court but it was not sent to Liverpool Crown Court, as is routine for cases heard at Sefton.
The clerk of the court said: "I understand that, given the circumstances of the case, there's been arrangements for it to be listed at Preston Crown Court in two weeks."
Roderick Jones, defending Jones, said his client wants the case to come to trial "as soon as possible".
Granting the defendant bail, chair of the bench Ron Barker, said: "As you have heard, this will be sent for a plea and case management hearing at Preston Crown Court, you will appear there on the 23rd of January and the bail conditions will be as they are at the moment."
Jones nodded and left the dock.
Her bail conditions are that she lives and sleeps at an address in Chatham, Kent, and informs Merseyside Police of any change of address.
