Tightening the Shell, Images 11-18
The tongue-and-groove profile along the edges and the biscuits at the butt joints kept the panel edges flat.
Since the panel ends were biscuited together, the panels didn't have to be trimmed to fit the stud layout.
An intentional 3/4-inch gap was left between the insulation-sheathing assembly and the foundation insulation and later filled with spray foam.
Sections of 3 1/4-inch by 3 1/4-inch by 1/4-inch steel angle were bolted to the wall underneath the door openings.
Steel angle bolted in place.
The angles were then padded with PT blocks and shims until the door sills were fully supported.
Spray-foam was used to seal the plates and boost R-values at the truss heels, and any open stud bays were filled with damp-spray cellulose.
After the sheathing was wrapped with housewrap, window and siding installation was typical.
We chose 5/8-inch-thick tongue-and-groove AdvanTech OSB sheathing (800/933-9220, huberwood.com) instead of typical 7/16-inch OSB for a few reasons. First, the thicker, stiffer sheathing helped flatten out any unevenness in the foam layer when we pulled it tight against the insulation. Second, we could biscuit-joint the butt edges of the sheathing, which - along with the tongue-and-groove profile on the long edge - also helped to create a flat wall plane, even on wall sections where we used small pieces of foam to fill in around openings. And finally, the thicker sheathing provided a strong substrate for the new fiber-cement siding.
To ensure good bite and prevent sagging, we had to hit the framing, so we laid out the stud locations on each sheet, then drilled countersunk screw holes 16 inches on-center (28 screws per full sheet of sheathing) with a 3/4-inch-diameter spade bit. The holes were just deep enough to prevent the screws' large washer heads from protruding beyond the plane of the sheathing. Along the panel ends, we also cut slots for large (#20) biscuits, also on 16-inch centers.
After snapping layout lines on the wall, we spread construction adhesive on the foam, again at a rate of a quart per five panels, then secured the sheathing with 9-inch HeadLok screws driven through the foam and sheathing into the studs. Even with the careful layout, we occasionally missed the framing and had to adjust the screw angle accordingly.
Wherever a butt joint fell on a stud, we countersunk the holes in place so that the washer-heads on the screws caught both sheets. It didn't matter if butt joints landed between studs because of the biscuits: As the screws pulled the sheathing tight to the foam, the biscuits held the panels flush to one another. After we were done, the sheathing layer was as flat and rugged as if it had been applied directly to the studs, and was ready for housewrap, flashing, window and door installation, and siding and trim.
When we removed the existing windows and doors, we built out the rough openings with bucks that would support the new windows and doors at the new sheathing plane. The window manufacturer (Loewen, 800/563-9367, loewen.com) was able to provide us with double-glazed U-0.28 units that closely matched the size and total glazing area of the originals, yet still fit snugly inside the bucks.
We built the bucks from 3"4-inch CDX plywood salvaged from the interior demo. They extend from the interior plane of the wall studs to the exterior plane of the wall insulation, and are sealed to the rigid foam with spray foam. When we installed the sheathing, we were able to screw the sheathing directly to the bucks, providing extra support for the windows and a solid surface for fastening the window and door nailing flanges.
The doors needed additional support. Under each opening, we bolted a section of 3/8-inch angle to the wall, either directly into framing or to anchor bolts cast into the new concrete radiant slab floor. Then we attached PT wood blocking and shims to the angles as needed to fully support the door sills, driving screws through small predrilled holes in the steel.
Once the foam and sheathing were in place, our insulation sub finished the thermal envelope from the inside. First, he used high-density closed-cell spray foam to fill in the shallow truss rafter bays over the exterior walls and to seal the soffits and other bypasses into the attic. He then topped off the existing R-19 fiberglass batts with another 18 inches of cellulose. In places where we'd removed drywall during the demolition phase, we pulled out the old fiberglass batts and reinsulated the stud bays with damp spray cellulose.
Before hanging drywall, we scheduled a blower-door test, which took place on a cold February day. Preliminary results showed a respectable air leakage rate of 500 cfm50, even before the technician toured the house with her IR camera to help us pinpoint air leaks in the envelope that we had missed. Even though we haven't done final testing, we anticipate that the home's air exchange rate will be well below 3 ACH50.
The IkoTherm panels we ordered through our local lumberyard were packed in 11-panel bundles, so we ordered 77 panels at $57 per panel to cover about 2,400 square feet of wall area. We allowed three man-hours of labor to install each panel and cover it with sheathing, for an installed cost of about $7.45 per square foot. By comparison, wrapping the house with a double layer of 2-inch blueboard and strapping would have cost about $8 per square foot, while we estimated that nailbase or SIP panels with an equivalent R-value would have cost at least $10 per square foot.

City Summer Project 2014
A Different Look at St. Louis City Culture
June 9 - 13, 2014
Three college credits available!
Registration deadline is Wednesday, June 4th
What is The City Summer Project by Fontbonne University?
While St. Louis and its surrounding areas may be home to you, we're assuming you've never seen it through the eyes of a sociologist, two writers and a fashion merchandising professor.
The City Summer Project will expose you to people, history and stories ABOUT ST. LOUIS that you may not find familiar. Following these explorations, we hope - through discussion, writing, photography and imagination - you will take away new pictures of the city and new lenses through which to view it.
Join us at Fontbonne University in a week-long summer adventure with fellow high school students and several of our outstanding faculty. We will take field trips to explore the Pruitt-Igoe Project, Washington Avenue Garment District and Bosnia Memory Project.
- Pruitt-Igoe Project … A large public housing project from the 1950s that was eventually torn down and became a flashpoint for discussion on public policy.
- Washington Avenue Garment District … Second only to New York as an American center for fashion design and manufacturing from the late 19th century to the end of World War II.
- Bosnia Memory Project … Dedicated to establishing an enduring record of Bosnian genocide survivors, especially those living in metropolitan St. Louis.
You will discuss, write, photograph...and imagine new pictures of the city. This experience is sure to lead to a deeper understanding of St. Louis city today.
The faculty who will join you during the week have expertise in multiple academic disciplines, so you will have an opportunity to view each experience through many perspectives.
Who is invited?
Select juniors and seniors in high school will join us June 9-13. THREE COLLEGE CREDITS will be available for qualified students!
- Cost is $600 per student.
- Monday, June 9 - Friday, June 13

European Review of Aging and Physical Activity
EURAPA offers the scientific community in-depth literature reviews from distinguished scholars, meta-analytically based reviews, and introductory reviews for researchers and practitioners wishing to look beyond the borders of their specialization. Research approaches in the field of aging and physical activity emerge from several disciplines. A section of the journal is devoted to the work of novice researchers, who are invited to submit review papers. The scope of the EURAPA is broadly related to physical activity and aging in the biomedical as well as in behavioral sciences. EURAPA is an official publication of the European Group for Research into the Elderly and Physical Activity (EGREPA, www.egrepa.org).The journal provides a forum for the advancement of the knowledge and education across continental borders in aging and physical activity in the following different age and physical activity related areas:Theory and model development
- Biomedical Sciences
- Behavioral Sciences
Protective and therapeutical factors of physical activity
- Parameters
- Measurement
- Effects
Reviews and evaluation of exercise programs
- Quantitative evaluation
- Qualitative evaluation
- International, national and community programs
- Comparative reviews
Specific programs on fall prevention focusing topics such as
- Strength
- Balance
- Perceptual training
- Perceptual motor training
- Environmental stimuli and avoidance of falls
- Self-help after falls.
Therapeutical physical activity related to
- Pain reduction
- Osteoporosis
- Gait exercise
- Rehabilitation
Quality management of preventive and therapeutical programs
- Quantitative and qualitative criteria
- Process oriented quality management
- Structural and result orientation
Dwelling and residential area and physical, activity
- Construction

One of the veterans killed in the tragic train accident in Midland on Thursday was a man born and raised right here in the Texas Panhandle, a Hereford native.Army Sgt. Joshua Michael was only 34 years old when he had his life cut short Thursday. But according to some of his closest family friends, he won't be remembered by the tragic accident, but instead by the way he lived his life even during his last moments on earth.From early on, Army Sgt.. Joshua Michael, better known as just Josh to his friends, captured the hearts of those who knew him.
"He even rode with me sometimes you know when he was growing up whenever I was a police officer," said former Hereford Police Chief David Wager who worked with Josh's father for more than 30 years. "He liked to play jokes, he was funny, he was cute."
Even as he grew, his desire to help others was always apparent.
"Shortly after he graduated high school, he completed his EMT training and came to work for me," said one of Josh's former bosses in Hereford, Terry Hazlett. "Of course, I'd known him growing up and stuff like that."
Josh met his wife Daylyn while attending Amarillo College. They were married in 1997, and he enlisted in the Army in 2001. Even when injured during his two tours to Iraq, and enduring the news of his wife being diagnosed with cancer, friends say, he never failed to put others first.
"Just a good, overall family-oriented guy and then after he got married and had his own family that just grew even more," added Hazlett.
"They loved each other immensely," added Aimee Rogers of Lubbock, who became close friends with the couple while in college. "They've been through a lot together and through everything their top priority was each other."
That characteristic persisted in Josh, right down to the very moment he died, when he pushed his wife out of the way of the train that took his life. A split second choice that his friends believe, for Josh, was never even a choice.
"That's just like Josh," said Wagner. "And probably Josh was trying to save other lives."
"Him saving somebody else before himself doesn't surprise me one bit," added Hazlett.
"Those actions by Josh are actually not that shocking for those of us who know and love him and know that he would lay down his life for anybody that he loved," continued Rogers. "But most especially for that woman."
Making Army Sgt.. Joshua Michael a true hero, on -- and off -- the battlefield."The heart of a warrior and the heart of a veterans and that's what they do," said Rogers. "They put others above themselves and that is Josh to a T."A Prayer Vigil has been scheduled in honor of Army Sgt.. Joshua Michael and the three other veterans who lost their lives in the accident. That will take place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Panhandle War Memorial in Amarillo.

Posted By Jill Fehrenbacher On July 22, 2005 @ 7:03 pm In Architecture | 4 Comments
One of the first things visitors to Reykjavik notice is the crazy spaceship-looking church dominating the skyline. The Hallgrimskirkja [2] (Hallgrim's Church) is impossible to miss, as it is by far the tallest building in Reykjavik and it sits on top of a hill. Although most tourists to Reykjavik make a point of going to see this church, Iceland has a wealth of innovative modernist churches – most of which don?t get much mention in guidebooks. The fact that there are so many modernist churches dotting the urban landscape ? and so few older churches – was one of the main things that struck me about Iceland architecturally. In other European countries (France, England, Germany, etc.) churches tend to be old and built in traditional Gothic and Renaissance styles. In America many churches built in a modern style, but typically their design tends to be uninspired (to say the least).
So why does Iceland have so many sleek, modernist churches? I couldn't find any good answers, but here are some thoughts:
First of all, unlike most European capitals, Reykjavik doesn?t have a cathedral or large church dating back from medieval or Renaissance eras. This is mainly because the city only emerged as major metropolis a few hundred years ago, but the rest of Iceland is bereft of older churches, primarily, I believe, because of the preference of Icelanders for building with wood rather than a more durable material such as stone.
Under the sovereignty of Norway and then Denmark for most of its history, Iceland also had little tradition of monumental architecture until after the end of the First World War. It was only as the country began inching towards independence (which was finally achieved in 1944) that Iceland went a building spree, just as Modernism was blossoming.
And what accounts for the distinctive design of Iceland?s 20th century churches? Above and beyond the general trend towards architectural modernism, Icelandic architects charged with designing these churches turned to motifs and materials found in the Icelandic landscape. Simply echoing architectural styles of earlier eras and foreign lands would likely seem less relevant to an emerging nation trying to craft a contemporary Icelandic identity.
An excellent example of this is the work of official state architect, Gu?j?n Sam?elsson, who was commissioned to design Hallgrimskirkja in 1937. He drew on Iceland?s geoactivity for inspiration, with the columns supporting the belltower made to resemble basalt formations.
While Hallgrimskirkja is the most famous modernist church in Iceland, Sam'elsson is also responsible for several others throughout the country, including the Akureyri Church (shown above) and the Lauganeskirkja church in Reykjavik (shown below).
Okay, thats my theory. I would love to hear other people's theories!
For more on Iceland's modernist churches, see Explore Iceland [3]
And yet another! (Pic sent to me from a reader) Thanks Scott! This one is near Akureyri and is meant to look like an erupted volcano.

Sal Sunseri met with the media Wednesday. Here's some excerpts, and the video appears above.
On being at Florida State:
"I'm extremely excited to be here at Florida State. I had the opportunity to be down here during the bowl practice and these young kids work hard. Jimbo does a great job with them. They're finding out what it takes to win, and they did win last year and they have high expectations. We just have to teach them to get to those high expectations."
On the first day of spring ball:
"It was like anything else. I'm different than most, I'm going to demand and they're going to be relentless competitive people. I'm going to push them to the ultimate. They're not going to have a chance to relax because this game is very physical and you're playing a four-three and two defensive ends, you have to be dominating, you have to rush the passer and stop the run. When fatigue sets in, most of us turn into cowards, so what I try to do is work them as fast as I can and as hard as I can to get them to play with the best technique because that's what's going to happen in the game. Technique ultimately wins on the field. If you have technique and you have smarts, you're going to be a good football player."
On all of his stops along the way at the college level:
"It's been great. Like anything else, you get different ideas being in all of the different conferences and you see what it takes to play. You can judge talent and know where you're at with it and evaluate it with kids and recruiting, you can tell what level of football they can be at. The things that's funny is when you're at Florida State you're recruiting the cream of the crop. That's what I really believe because this place has had great tradition, they've won national championships and we're hoping someday to get back to that."
On the kids working with the new coaches:
"I think they're in a little bit of shell shock right now. They're probably in there saying 'boy the man is crazy.' But I want them to think that because the thing is that every time I go out on the field, it's like if I was coaching my own son. I am going to demand him to do it right. First of all, for protection. Because if he doesn't do it right and he gets lazy, to me that's the most important thing. And if they play with the technique and they do what they're supposed to do, someday they're going to have the opportunity to fulfill a dream that they've been waiting to do for a long time. I'm excited about it. I think they had a good practice out there today. I think they got an idea of what I am going to ask for, so tomorrow will be another day. Hopefully, we get better and they've got to learn. They've got to understand not just assignments, they've got to understand concepts of what's going on out there."

If you have a child in an Indiana school, you may think the last thing we need is another standard-ized test, given the anxiety the state's multiple assessment tests already create for students and the noisy political debate they generate in the Statehouse.
But high school principal Jegga Rent thinks there may be some value to adding a new kind of assessment: One that measures a student's grit.
Rent heads the Monument Lighthouse College Prep Academy, a charter high school in Indianapolis that serves low-income students at high risk for failure. His big goal is to get those kids into college and out of poverty.
Rent is an avid proponent of an arts-infused curriculum — using music to help teach math, for example — which makes learning more fun and gratifying for students. But he also knows learning can be daunting and discouraging, especially for chronically low-performing students.
This coming school year, in addition to taking their required academic assessment tests, the students at Monument will also be taking the Grit Scale test.
It's a 12-question test developed by Angela Lee Duckworth, a former math teacher and now charter-school consultant who argues that educators and parents need to be as concerned about a student's character development as their academic achievement.
Duckworth developed the Grit Scale while doing research on student success. She found, for example, that measures of self-control were more reliable predictors of students' grade-point averages than their IQs.
The test has been described as "deceptively simple" since it only takes a few minutes to complete. Test-takers are asked to rate themselves on just 12 questions, ranging from "I finish whatever I begin" to "I often set a goal but later choose to pursue a different one."
One of the places where Duckworth tested the exam was the United States Military Academy at West Point, where 1,200 freshman cadets took it. Of all the tests the cadets took that year, including grueling physical tests, it was the Grit Scale test that was the most accurate predictor of which cadets persisted and which ones dropped out.

Indiana State Police say an Clark County Deputy Police Officer in downstate Sellersburg was wounded and an Indiana State Police K9 was killed during a standoff Monday afternoon. Sellersburg Police had called for assistance in a domestic call after authorities say an officer was confronted by a suspect who pointed a handgun at the officer. The officer took cover and shortly thereafter the suspect fled the area on foot and a foot pursuit ensued. Police say the suspect attempted to gain entry into a couple of residences in the neighborhood then entered one; no one was home at the time.
Trooper Nathan Abbott along with his K-9 partner, Kilo arrived at the scene. Kilo entered the residence first followed by several officers and shortly thereafter there was gunfire. The officers retreated from the residence but Kilo did not exit. At this point a standoff ensued. Officers from several area police agencies responded to the scene and secured the area. Two Indiana State Police SWAT teams along with a Clark County SWAT team also arrived on the scene.
Police say all afternoon negotiators attempted to establish dialog with the suspect who refused to respond to those attempts, and during the standoff a robot with a camera mounted to it was deployed inside the residence. The robot located the suspect inside the home however the suspect allegedly fired several rounds at the robot disabling the camera. The suspect also allegedly fired rounds at officers outside the residence wounding a Clark County Sheriff's Deputy. The deputy was subsequently evacuated from the scene and flown to University Hospital in Louisville with non life-threatening injuries.
Police say after it was determined attempts to negotiate with the suspect were not going to be effective SWAT teams deployed numerous rounds of teargas inside the residence. At approximately 9:25 p.m. the suspect surrendered to officers ending the nearly 10 hour standoff.
The suspect, later identified as 31 year old Joshua L. Priddy of Sellersburg, was finally taken into custody. He is currently being held in the Clark County Jail on charges of Attempted Murder of a Police Officer (Class A Felony), Causing the Death of a Law Enforcement Animal (Class D Felony), Burglary (Class B Felony), Residential Entry (Class D Felony), Pointing a Firearm (Class D Felony), and Criminal Recklessness with a Firearm (Class C Felony).
The Indiana State Police Alliance says Kilo's handler was Nathan Abbott and their tour of duty with the ISP started January 5, 2007. The Alliance say those who wish to make a donation in memory of Kilo can mail them to the address below, and 100% of all donations will be used to support the ISP K-9 program in memory of Kilo. These donations are also tax exempt. If you have any questions please contact Wayne Flick at the Indiana State Police Alliance, 317-636-0929

A new low
Republicans have stooped to a new low by refusing to vote on $60 billion for East Coast residents who have had their lives torn apart by Hurricane Sandy.
This is just another exhibition of how spiteful and hateful the Republicans have become. There is a joke about "Republican compassion." We can only assume "compassion" is only extended to the wealthy and those who support the Republican agenda.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A man authorities say had been mistakenly released from the Blount County Jail in July was taken into custody Tuesday night.
Dewyatt Allen Hill, 55, was convicted in federal court for involvement in what officers called a take-down style robbery of several CVS pharmacies in the Knoxville area.
He was released by mistake in July and was being sought since then. Authorities said they considered Hill "armed and dangerous" during his time out of jail.
Officers of the Smoky Mountains Fugitive Task Force arrested Hill Tuesday night without incident at a Knoxville mobile home park on Clinton Highway.
Hill was sentenced to 75 years on county and federal charges and was being held at the Blount County Jail when a clerical error resulted in his release.
Results of internal investigation released the same day as his capture showed paperwork from the U.S. Marshals Service was not properly filed or entered into the sheriff's office management system.

SkyWest traverses the skies in every direction -- not just west. The airline operates through two main segments: SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet. SkyWest has destinations to about 275 cities in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, supporting 4,200 daily departures. Combined, SkyWest's carriers operate a fleet of about 760 aircraft consisting of Canadair regional jets (CRJs, made by Bombardier) and turboprops. SkyWest also has a code-sharing agreement with Delta Air Lines and United Continental's United Airlines. (Code-sharing allows airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights.)
SkyWest operates through two reportable segments: SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet (which reflects the combined operations of Atlantic Southeast and ExpressJet Delaware). SkyWest Airlines provides regional jet and turboprop service to airports primarily located in the Midwestern and western United States. ExpressJet provides regional jet service principally in the US, primarily from airports located in Atlanta; Cleveland; Chicago (O'Hare); Denver; Houston; Detroit; Memphis; Newark, New Jersey; Minneapolis; and Washington Dulles.
Along with regional passenger transportation, which accounts for nearly all of its sales (98%), SkyWest provides ground handling services -- loading and unloading of aircraft -- for other airlines at several of the airports where it operates.
Financial Performance
SkyWest's balance sheet has experienced turbulence over the years. Although it posted revenues of $3.65 billion in 2011 (the highest in its history), it also suffered a net loss of $27 million. During 2012, its revenues declined 3% to $3.53 billion as it was able to post positive net income of $51 million.
The decline in revenue for 2012 was attributed to a 3% decrease in passenger revenue. Its positive net income was attributed to a decrease in operating expenses, which included a reduction in property tax expenses, training costs, and legal and consulting expenses.
Amid growing demand by airline giants to cut costs by outsourcing regional flights, SkyWest is moving to further diversify its operations and marketplace presence. Owning ExpressJet (bought in 2010) positions SkyWest as a strong competitor for more business from Delta and United, as well as for contracts from other carriers. Industry turbulence, however, is growing as air carriers move to consolidate.
To extend its global reach, SkyWest has a 30% stake in Vietnam-based Mekong Aviation (operating as Air Mekong), which flies to eight destinations from the US, including Da Nang, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Phu Quoc.

The Humane Society of the U.S. points out that DRC-1339, the poison proposed to be used locally, "kills by damaging the kidneys and heart." The Humane Society calls this poison "inherently inhumane."
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency proposing to use this ghastly poison, is charged with protecting almost all birds and their nests, including ravens and crows, under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Yet this agency has, in the past five years, poisoned millions of birds in the southeastern U.S. to assist farmers. We don't want or need their unscientific, cruel poisonings in our county. Moreover, scientists with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have published a study indicating that while acute poisoning of scavenging birds and mammals is not highly likely, there is a much higher likelihood of chronic intoxication in cats, owls and magpies ("DRC-1339 and DRC-2698 Residues in Starlings: Preliminary Evaluation of Their Effects on Secondary Hazard Potential.") An additional matter for concern is that restoration of the "protected" species is by no means guaranteed. When gulls were poisoned on Ram Island in Massachusetts to protect terns it was determined that "more often, reclamation of nesting islands and successful restoration of ferneries requires continual effort of at least 4 years." ("Use of DRC-1339 to Eliminate Gulls and Re-establish a Tern Nesting Colony in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.") This means that our beaches would be poisoned and animals tortured for four years to possibly have some effect.
Ravens and crows are highly intelligent birds. Ravens are sacred in many Native American cultures. If there are people who are as horrified by the proposed poisonings as we are, especially native people, we would like to hear from you.

PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh Pediatrics now offers care at two offices in the City of Platsburgh.
Dr. Harold Chaskey and Dr. Clark Knutson acquired the former Rainbow Pediatrics office at 459 Margaret St. in January, and continue to provide service at their 151 Bridge St. office as well.
Dr. David Cohen of Rainbow Pediatrics announced in October that he planned to retire effective Jan. 1. That led to extensive discussions between Chaskey and Knutson on how to handle the number of families who would need to choose a new pediatrician.
"We felt the need to step up as community servants and make this work," Knutson said.
Any of the Rainbow Pediatrics patients were free to choose one of the three pediatric practices in the area - Plattsburgh Pediatrics, Mountain View Pediatrics or Plattsburgh Primary Care Pediatrics.
"Most stayed with us here," Chaskey said.
An increase in staff, including a number of North Country natives, helped meet the crunch. Dr. Katherine Sullivan, a Peru High School graduate, had recently finished her pediatrics training and expressed interest in a return to the North Country.
Danielle Baker, a registered physician assistant-certified, had expressed an interest in going from part-time to full-time. A second RPA-C, Kelley Meyer, was working in Albany. She is a Plattsburgh High School graduate who wanted to return to the area.
Family Nurse Practitioner Laurie Eamer is a Peru High School graduate. Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Martha Passino is an AuSable High School graduate.
Dr. Sobia Qudsi, who provided care at Rainbow Pediatrics, said she would like to stay on after Dr. Cohen's retirement.
Chaskey said the administrative team performed admirably in making it a smooth transition. In addition, all of the medical providers gave up their days off for the month of January.
"All of this has worked out very well to meet the needs of our pediatric patients," Chaskey said.
The partners like to say they offer care from pre-natal stage through the end of college.
"We encourage moms to come in for pre-natal visits," Chaskey said.
Knutson said they encourage prospective patients to visit all three local practices before choosing a provider.
Chaskey was originally from Plattsburgh. He returned to the area and joined the pediatric practice of Dr. John Tanner and Dr. Frank Ryan in 1985.
In 1996, Chaskey decided to start his own practice, Plattsburgh Pediatrics. He rented space at the CVPH Medical Complex in 1998 and later opened the Bridge Street office.
Knutson came to Plattsburgh as the Hospital Commander at Plattsburgh Air Force Base in 1989. After stops at other installations, he returned to Plattsburgh and then joined Plattsburgh Pediatrics in 1999.
Knutson said community involvement is a big part of the philosophy at the practice. The staff are involved in a wide variety of charitable organizations.
They also hold a charitable luncheon once a month. Employees can participate in a dress-down day for $5, with proceeds donated to a different charity.
The practice is affiliated with CVPH Medical Center through its pediatric floor and the Center for Women and Children.
Plattsburgh Pediatrics is a participant in the Adirondack Regional Medical Home initiative. The program focuses on a preventative rather than a reactionary approach to health care.
For pediatricians, that includes a focus on issues such as obesity and asthma. Knutson said they prefer to see patients in the pediatric office rather than the emergency room.
He said all of the nurses there are trained in pediatrics, and are well-versed in dealing with parents and children.
"We think better care is delivered by that teamwork," he said.
The partners encourage people to have a yearly check-up. For younger patients, that can avoid a last-minute appointment to get medical clearance to participate in sports.
Plattsburgh Pediatrics has about 30 full- and part-time employees and is accepting new patients. The office is open 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays.
A pediatrician from one of the three pediatric practices is on call 24 hours a day, a partnership that is entering its third year.
The practice takes most forms of medical insurance.

Clark, 14, was diagnosed in October 2013 with T-cell leukemia. He made his first appearance at Maddox Thursday since he was diagnosed and started treatments at Children's Hospital in Birmingham. Before the release, Clark's father, Jasper Fire Chief David Clark, spoke to the school about Lane's journey and showed his appreciation for all the support Lane and his family have received from the community.
"As you know, he [Lane] went from three sports a year to the hospital or home, and it turned his life upside down. In turn, it turned our lives upside down, so we knew we had an adjustment," David Clark said, as Lane looked on from the sound booth above the auditorium. "... He's getting to get out and do a little bit of stuff and like I said today, seeing him be able to come up here is a blessing. More than that, it's a blessing seeing you, his friends, communicating with him, too. Each one of you have been our support group from coaches, teachers, faculty, friends, students."
On Feb. 6, David Clark said the doctors performed a bone marrow test on Lane while he was in the hospital for a chemotherapy treatment. The following day, the doctors told Lane the results from that test showed he was cancer free, and "that's the best news that I've ever heard in my life, I can tell you that," his father said.
Students raised a little more than $800 to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society based in Birmingham. Jason Fields, who works with the society, provided faculty and students with information about the different types of cancer and how their donation will be used to further their research.
"One thing, guys, about this disease is what makes it so terrible is we never know why someone gets it. One day, as you heard right there, you're playing football, maybe a little winded, most of us just think it's some typical cold or something like that coming on. Believe me, we've met children all across this state, and that's how it just started," Fields said. "... There are a lot of support groups all over the state of Alabama. There's also co-pay assistance; $760,000 went out to different patients and families in Alabama last school fiscal year. That's a lot of money that goes out to help families."
After the assembly, students walked down to the grassy field in front of the school and received bright orange balloons. Lane and his family looked on as hundreds of balloons floated into the sky. Afterward, Lane was immersed by his classmates and friends, talking and laughing with one another.
David Clark said that his son is "doing well. The leukemia is gone, but we still have about two and a half years of treatments to make sure it doesn't come back."
Denise Timmons, one of the school's counselors, opened the day's assembly and introduced both speakers before guiding students outside for the balloon release. She was excited to see Lane, his family and friends come together and congregate at the school Thursday.
"We just wanted to do something for Lane and for his family, and I have in the past done fundraisers for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but I wanted to raise awareness with the student body as to what the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society did. I also wanted to do something, especially, to honor Lane because he's really been a trooper," Timmons said. "He's really fought hard, and we're just extremely proud that now his blood work is showing up that he is cancer free. I think it's been important for his classmates to just be able to see him and see the positive results that his tests are showing that he is cancer free, but they just have a special place in all of our hearts, and we just tried to do something special."

For over 20 years, Bucky Lasek has been one of the world's most consistent vert skateboarders. Amongst his achievements, he has won 19 X Games medals, including ten golds, and in 2000, he became the first skateboarder in X Games history to win gold in consecutive years, a feat he repeated in 2003 and 2004. After a nine-year gap, he once again won X Games vert gold in 2013, with victories at Foz do Iguacu, Munich, Los Angeles and Barcelona. He also took first place overall in the Dew Tour Championships in 2009, and has been victorious at the Pro-Tec Pool Party and the Vans Triple Crown of Skateboarding, among numerous other major competitions. And as if all that wasn't enough, he also now drives professionally in the Global Rallycross series as a member of the Subaru PUMA team. Bucky (real name Charles) grew up as an only child in Baltimore, Maryland. He first picked up a skateboard at the age of 12 after his bike was stolen, and was soon competing in amateur contests. After starring in the Powell Peralta video Public Domain in 1988, he turned professional in 1990 and quickly climbed the rankings. Over his long career, Bucky has proved again and again that he is the fiercest and most composed of any competitor on the pipe. With his never-say-die attitude and a contest repertoire that includes more difficult tricks than any other skater in competition, combined with an uncanny ability to pull out a miracle when needed, he has dominated the vert scene.

Remember Me
DEAR EDITOR:I went to the Jefferson/St. John's soccer game, which was played in Fort Jennings. This is where the Jefferson girls' soccer team has to play their home games, since they are not able to use one of the fields in Delphos to play on. What threw me back is the Jefferson team had to carpool over to Fort Jennings and the St. John's team was able to arrive in a bus marked "Delphos City Schools." I understand that this was considered a home game for Jefferson but to have both teams from the same town have to travel to a different city to play their games seems a bit ridiculous. What if one of the Jefferson girls that is the driver of the carpool vehicle gets into an accident? Who is liable? If Jefferson is forced to play home games out of town, then the school should provide them with a bus to those games. Since the public school does not have a fieled to use, then the city should step up and help fix this issue. St. Johns's baseball team does not have a baseball field of their own but the City of Delphos has offered the use of the public diamonds. I am glad to see that public facilities can be supplied to a private school in need but accommodations for a public school cannot be met. This seems to be the story of this town. Is it not time to set aside a local dispute and start doing what is best for our kids in our town?John Miller Delphos

Yes, like every cruise (or trip) there were some glitches or things that didn't go accordingly to plan. The entire staff of the Navigator went out of their way to remedy any minor problem or issue. I'm not smart enough to know whether the Navigator is a 4 or 5 or 6 star ship. What we do know is that our trip was truly first class including the cabin, food, staff, service, wine and ports. Our hats off to Terry Breen our naturist whose commentary and narration was a great addition to our trip.
On a side note, we stayed four nights in Vancouver at the Sutton Place Hotel. A true "don't miss" hotel. Great hotel in a great location in a great city.
Other reviews have commented on the price and value of a Regent cruise but our personal opinion is you get what you pay for in this world and Regent Seven Seas met or exceeded our every expectation.

Food and wine service

When Chargers QB Philip Rivers raved about second-year WR Vincent Brown's strong offseason, he wasn't simply blowing smoke. In the team's first two preseason games, Brown had standout performances. He had four catches for 81 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay and two catches for 31 yards and a score against Dallas.
Unfortunately, on his touchdown catch against the Cowboys, Brown suffered a broken ankle, handing the Chargers' receiving corps a blow.
The way we hear it, the Chargers still expect Brown to return for the second half of the regular season, which would give them a boost down the stretch. Brown's return from the injury is contingent on the ligament damage, and after he underwent surgery last Sunday, everything pointed to the receiver missing eight weeks, with only minor ligament damage discovered.
Veteran additions Robert Meachem, Eddie Royal and Roscoe Parrish made Brown somewhat of a forgotten man in the Chargers' receiving corps after he caught 19-329-2 as a rookie, but his play this summer served as a reminder that Brown will be a weapon in San Diego. Rivers and the rest of the offense certainly will welcome Brown's return at midseason. In the meantime, the Chargers got some good news on the injury front when Royal, who had a very strong spring, returned to practice last week after missing all of training camp with a groin injury, and he should be the team's top slot receiver when the season begins.

Ice Climbing
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) contains some of the most spectacular, long and hard ice routes in an alpine setting. Most of these climbs involve a renaissance mixture of mountaineering skills including long approaches, snow, rock, and ice climbing complicated by difficult protection, harsh weather, objective hazards and altitude. This is the perfect playground to experience the type of remote, committing climbing that only comes from this kind of wilderness, or to practice the methods required for tackling big mountains in other parts of the world. There are however, several smaller, less expedition style, sport areas in the park where short, technical climbs can be done. In short, RMNP has something for everyone, and it�s practically in our own backyard.
Getting There
From Denver, head North on I-25 to US 36, through Boulder to Lyons. In Lyons, turn left and follow US 36 to the end of town. To get to the Glacier Gorge/Moriane Park Area, continue to follow US 36 to the right into the town of Estes Park. From Estes Park, follow US 36 into the Beaver Meadows Entrance Station. To get to the Longs Peak or Wild Basin area, from the W end of Lyons, turn left on Colorado 7, continue this N once you hit the Peak-to-Peak Highway. The trailheads are well marked off of Colo 7.
Bypassing the lines
FWIW, if you are trying to enter during entrance fee collecting times, you can use the right lane at the Beaver Meadows entrance with the card activated gate bypassing the lines with a Rocky Mountain National Park annual pass OR a National Parks annual pass purchase at RMNP!

CATEGORIES MoviesIt was a night of ups and downs at the 85th Annual Academy Awards: newbie Oscars host Seth MacFarlane delivered hit-or-miss jokes, some speeches were dull and others made us laugh, and the musical performances struck a chord or fell flat.
In the rather fast-paced awards ceremony, there weren't many surprises. Expected favorites like Anne Hathaway and Daniel Day-Lewis took home their Oscars and gave run-of-the-mill, heartfelt speeches.

The revolutionary solution is here:
Icon – the first caries infiltration product worldwide
Icon offers a new approach to counteracting incipient caries early without sacrificing healthy hard tissue – in only one sitting, simple, and without drilling or anesthesia. The intelligent principle: Driven by capillary forces, the »infiltrant«, a highly fluid resin, penetrates into the enamel caries and blocks the diffusion paths for cariogenic acids, thus promoting the early arrest of caries in difficult-to-reach proximal areas and on smooth surfaces. Without drilling. Icon closes the gap between preventive therapies and corrective restorations.

The Theology of the Church of the East has been stated briefly and clearly in the following ¡¡ãHymn of Praise (TESHBOKHTA)?nbsp; Composed by Mar Babai the Great in the sixth century A.D., a noted theologian of the Church
One is Christ the Son of God, Worshiped by all in two natures; In His Godhead begotten of the Father, Without beginning before all time; In His humanity born of Mary, In the fullness of time, in a body united; Neither His Godhead is of the nature of the mother, Nor His humanity of the nature of the Father; The natures are preserved in their Qnumas*, In one person of one Sonship. And as the Godhead is three substances in one nature, Likewise the Sonship of the Son is in two natures, one person. So the Holy Church has taught.

Following a horrific crash at the Las Vegas Indy 300, the final race of the IndyCar season, driver Dan Wheldon has passed away at the age of 33. Below the jump is a video of the crash focused on Wheldon's car that shows how his car went up into the air, then made contact with the catch fence above the SAFER barrier.
WARNING: This is extremely graphic and, once again, took a man's life.
The SAFER barrier helped to keep other drivers from sustaining injuries like Wheldon's, but Wheldon's car went over the barrier, hitting the fence hard, cockpit-first.
Wheldon's car was one of 15 cars involved in the wreck, and he was one of three drivers who had to go to the hospital with serious injuries. Drivers were informed of Wheldon's death in a private meeting, at which point they decided not to continue the race. Instead, all of the drivers came out an decided to do a five-lap salute in Wheldon's memory.

Lupus Awareness and the DMV
I am using this petition to try and execute change within the classification system of the California DMV. The California DMV has Systemic Lupus Erethymatosus classified as a \"neurological disorder\", which is simply not true. Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys. It is classified as an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances (antigens) and its own cells and tissues. SLE can have Central Nervous System involvement, but this is NOT indicative of a \"neurological disorder\". Please help me educate the California DMV. By signing this petition, you are supporting Lupus Awareness. This petition will be sent to the Director of the California DMV targeted for October 14, 2002. October is Lupus Awareness Month. There is no better time than now to educate those that are in dire need of it. Thank you.

The documented history of the Michigan State football jersey, Michigan State football helmet and Michigan State basketball jersey is catalogued by style, season and head coach.
The Michigan State football section contains the complete history of the Michigan State football jersey and Michigan State football helmet. Beginning with the winged helmet, worn by Michigan State football players in 1934, and continuing to the present style designed by a two-year branding partnership with Nike.
The Michigan State basketball section contains the history of the Michigan State basketball jersey, beginning with the Reebok Michigan State basketball jerseys worn by Tom Izzos national championship team, and ending with the Nike Michigan State basketball jerseys, worn by the current Michigan State basketball team.
I hope that this site brings back the memories of the storied tradition of both Michigan State football and Michigan State basketball.
Feedback, questions or comments are welcome! Visit the contact Spartan Jerseys page to get in touch with me.
The Michigan State football team wore white leather winged helmets against Michigan in 1947, and white suspension helmets against Wisconsin and Purdue in 1954. Michigan State football lost all three games wearing the white helmets.
Head coach Tom Anastos unveiled the new 2012-2013 hockey jerseys today. More importantly, he unveiled the new alternate "vintage" jerseys, which resurrects the "hockey script," a fan-favorite logo that was scrapped in the 2010 rebranding.
From the press release: Michigan State hockey program will have four new jersey designs for the 2012-13 season, which includes new standard home and away jerseys as well as a set of vintage Michigan State sweaters that will debut in the Great Lakes Invitational.
"In developing this new design, we gathered a lot of feedback from our players about the jersey's fit, feel, performance and look," said head coach Tom Anastos. "We feel that the design that Nike has developed has a cutting-edge look and embraces the values of the Spartan brand."
The press release also gives a history lesson about the hockey script: "The script `Michigan State' logo was introduced in my freshman season [1980-81] and over the course of time, became one of the iconic jerseys in college hockey," said Anastos
What do you think of the new jerseys? Take the poll and leave your comments below:
Today, the Michigan State Athletic department released an image of a repainted Breslin Center floor. The floor was last repainted two basketball seasons ago with the design aligning to the new athletic branding.
Differences in the new design include a significantly larger Michigan State Helmet Logo at center court, new Big Ten logos in the lane and the removal of the two-tone coloring inside the three-point line.
For those eagle eyes out there, the picture looks like it was taken with a cell phone misrepresenting the green coloring. MSU did not change the green again.
Our friends at Complex have counted down The 20 Greatest Sneakers in Michigan State Basketball History.
Representatives from the Outback Bowl have informed me that Michigan State is the away team, meaning they will wear their away uniforms against Georgia on January 2nd in Tampa, Florida.
I expect the team to wear their normal away uniforms from the 2010-2011 style, with an Outback Bowl patch sewn on their shoulder and an Outback Bowl decal added to the rear of the helmet.

Gordon Hamilton, an associate professor in UMaine's Climate Change Institute, was quoted in a Boston Herald story about the possible reasons behind the region's unseasonably warm weather. Hamilton said although climatic phenomenon are partly to blame for the current jet stream trajectory and warm air flow, the bigger cause of the current weather pattern is coming from the long-term decline of the Arctic sea ice.

Nothing is more American than apple pie — or, for that matter, one can say that nothing is more American than baked goods, candy, soda and other such sweets. In fact, it seems that every birthday, holiday, and special occasion is adorned with a homemade cake or a plate of cookies.
Yes, Americans have a special place in their heart for sugar, but sugar — as sweet as it may seem — is poisoning our bodies.
Western culture has come to associate sugar with love. We take medicine with a spoonful of sugar and cure heartache with a tub of ice cream. Although grandma's double chocolate chip cookies arouse a sense of warmth and nostalgia, the excessive consumption of such treats has led to an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and possibly other ailments such as hypertension and some cancers, in America.
Much of our unbalanced diet is due to muddled facts and misinformation surrounding sugar and general health. Despite popular belief, a calorie is not just a calorie.
For instance, consuming 1,000 calories worth of sugar- filled chocolate would have a much worse effect on your body than consuming 1,000 calories worth of glucose-rich potatoes.
The difference, although both products contain sugar, is in the metabolization. While glucose is metabolized throughout the body, fructose is metabolized primarily in the liver. Thus, ingesting the chocolate would create much more work for your liver than the potatoes. What's more, as sugar is consumed at a faster rate, the toll on the liver increases, so liquids — primarily the sweetheart of American beverages, soda — are especially destructive to the liver and the body in general.
Companies have learned to disguise refined sugar with names like sucrose, dextrose, high fructose corn syrup, natural cane sugar — the list goes on — but the fact of the matter is that all these sugars are equally harmful and all will produce relatively the same physiological effects on the body.

The first sermon I ever gave before a live congregation was titled, Eldorado, The Lost City of Gold. Since that was the name of the town in which the congregation resided, I thought I was being very clever to include a bit of local color into my message. Immediately, from the back row, I heard a shout, Its Eldoraydo not Eldorado. That was my first student pulpit while I was in the seminary: Eldorado, Arkansas. I remember that it took three different airlines to get me close to Eldorado. The best they could do was Monroe, Louisiana. Upon my arrival in town I was overwhelmed by an odor that nearly took my breath away.
What is that stench? I exclaimed.
Son. that is the smell of money.
The year was 1968. Murphy Oil Company was the source of the Au du petroleum. In that year, the other fact that put Eldorado on the map was its place in baseball history. Lew Brock was born and raised in Eldorado and was playing for the most popular team in the south, the St. Louis Cardinals. Now, Eldorado will be famous for something else. Murphy oil and other corporate sponsors are guaranteeing every child that attends public school in Eldorado a college education.
Housing values are up. Business growth is up. And school enrollment is up.
Why not St. Louis City and County and Metro East? With all of our corporations joining together, we could make the same guarantee. Imagine, people moving to St. Louis to get an education - what a concept! Lets do Eldorado one step better. Lets have each school sponsored by a corporation. Employees of these companies would take pride in their adopted school. They would serve as long term tutors and mentors. They could supply the schools with computers, science lab equipment, musical instruments and the like. Perhaps this is the project that the Regional Commerce and Growth Association has been waiting for. Come on guys you can do it!

Robert and Karina Gillette will close Kay's Bridal Boutique on September 30, ending an 80-year-old chapter in Castro Valley's business history.
"Reviving a business in a building this large has significant costs, and Bridal is a seasonal business," Robert said. "We've had lots of success in the first six months, but it wasn't enough to meet our obligations through the Winter."
As a result Kay's, which has been around since the 1930s, will toss its final bouquet at the end of the month.
Patch asked the husband-wife team if they could keep the business going as a home-based operation, but they said wedding dress designers will only work with storefront operations.
Many Castro Valley residents will be sad to see it go.
"For years I've enjoyed their windows, always beautiful, tasteful, contemporary and done with flair," wrote Barbara Sullivan in response to an earlier Patch story about the closure. "That's the one stoplight I never, ever minded being stuck at since it gave me the opportunity to look at their display."
Norma Kvool agreed.
"It's very sad to see another Castro Valley business go," she wrote, adding, "My daughter purchased her bridal gown there and when she chose it, the third one she tried on looked like it was designed just for her."
Patch contributor Carol Parker -- who bought her first formal gown at Kay's in 1970 -- put the closure into a larger context.
Parker cited an article from a wedding industry trade website that mentioned changing social mores -- more civil unions and non-traditional relationships.
"To walk down the aisle and run to a catering facility for freezer-tasting meals for $30,000 plus is no longer the standard of today's couples," the article said.
While disappointed that their commercial foray didn't go better, the Gillettes have other means of support.
Karina works with an environmental consulting firm. Robert has a portrait photography business, Robert Gillette Photography, and a commercial photography practice, Depth of Field Imaging.
Meanwhile the Castro Valley shop keepers will be offering real bargains on wedding dresses until the store closes.
"Everything must go," Robert said.
Where will you send brides in the future?
