During the team's media luncheon last Tuesday, Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown was specifically asked about the long-term affects of concussions. The question was related to an arbitrator awarding Ben Utecht the remainder of his 2009 salary ($926,471), who said that the Bengals didn't properly test him to get back on the field.
"It's not only not proven, it's merely speculation that this is something that creates some form of dementia late in life," Brown said. "Our statistics—the ones I've seen anyway—don't show that. Yet there's a lot of talk.
"Whether the alarm that is up and about today is deserved is in my mind a good thing because it makes us play it safe, but I'm not convinced that anybody really knows what concussions bring, what they mean later in life, if anything."
Brown further explained their directive with Utecht in 2009.
"We didn't do anything but try to rehabilitate him, which we did for many months. We did it in accordance with the directive we had from our doctors and the experts that we turned to in this area," Brown said. "And we followed their advice and at a certain point in time, we're told he was ready to go back to play. We were told that not just by our doctors but by our concussion experts. So when you get to that point, you have the option of releasing the player.
His position, the quote people are using (which is chopped up from the original), was in response to a specific question, not a press conference to explain his position of uncertainty. And perhaps it's molded from his experiences with Utecht's injury, which only caused general confusion for him and an eventual grievance from Utecht. Obviously one can make a distinct connection that as an owner in the NFL, with lawsuits from former players hovering, it's wise to take a public position that avoids the overall impact from a point of view that's conclusive (if he goes into a detailed response about how it all impacts players, he'd probably head to court as a witness). Maybe there's truth to that. Maybe not. A man with a computer and keyboard such as myself, with Cheeto-stained white tee-shirts and crushed Mountain Dew cans, hardly has the power to reach inside Brown's mind for a background on his position.
But that's not the point either. The point is that Brown said more research needs to be done; arguing that nothing conclusive exists, save for a simplistic correlation that football can be harmful to one's mental health. Dr. Jeffery J. Bazarian, an associate professor at the Unversity of Rochester Medical Center, was a co-author for a recent study that found players may suffer long-term brain damage, even if they do not suffer a concussion. He said in a statement when the study was released.
"Although the awareness of sports-related concussions is much higher, we still know very little about the long-term consequences and what happens inside the brain."
This isn't to say that there's no connection. There is. You'd be a fool to fight against that argument and it would be a disservice to the issue. Saying that brain trauma is fully understood is also misleading, as many doctors release studies that basically conclude that there is a link because of this or that, but the long-term affects are still a mystery. Science is a process that takes questions, speculations, and theories and tries to prove them. Doctors and scientists are saying themselves that concussions and the long-term effects are not fully understood; though we're closer today then ever.
Make no mistake. Brown wants to make the game safer for all of his players. But you have to understand Brown, who is probably the least reactive person in the NFL today. Look at his tenure before Marvin Lewis. Consider that he was one of two owners that rejected the previous Collective Bargaining Agreement; the same agreement that every owner declined to extend, eventually leading to the lockout in 2011. He needs to be sold. He won't fill in the blanks for you.
Additionally, Mike Brown has never proved to be an expert, nor a figurative leader in battling concussions. Granted. He probably made a mistake answering a question about a charged topic from the media that has proven more of a liability to players, owners, and public figures. One could argue that the NFL is only reacting due to the lawsuits and speculative pressure from Congress. But Brown's not here to "further the debate"; he's an NFL owner.
That being said, he added that he'd like to see more "research done on concussions and dementia."
Don Banks with Sports Illustrated writes:
So when the Bengals' 77-year-old owner decides to open up and shed some light on the issue, as he did last week in interviews with Cincinnati-area media, I pay attention. Especially when Brown sums up any potential link between football-produced head injuries and later-in-life brain damage as nothing more than "merely speculation," citing "our statistics"' as substantiation of his claim.
Of all the people in the world researching and talking about one of the greater stories of our time, why would Banks rely on Mike Brown to further advance the issue? Why would anyone? Because it's sexy. His comment only highlights a personal history for temperance and restraint, but it's counter to the talking points that there's an obvious link so something must be done. Brown knows that.
In the end, he'd be wise to let the issue be argued elsewhere.
Moving on...
+ Anthony Collins on the Cincinnati Bengals defensive line.
"They're the best in the NFL," Collins told Kevin Goheen with Fox Sports Ohio.
Why are they so good?
"We all believe in each other, and we keep each other accountable," said Peko, who is in his eighth season. "They know I'm going to be in my A gap, that Geno is going to be his B gap, Dunlap and Mike are going to be in their C gaps. When you play like that and can really trust in one another, you can get a lot done."
+ If there's a coach that toughen up Cincinnati's safeties, it's Mark Carrier, writes Geoff Hobson.
Carrier broke in with the remnants of the '85 Da Bears, one of the league's most storied teams. He can't remember having more than three conversations with his Hall of Fame head coach, Mike Ditka. Hammer was the leading tackler on that '90 defense that had two Hall of Famers in Richard Dent and Mike Singletary, but what he remembers are the veterans one day tossing him into the snow in his jockstrap after yanking down his shorts in front of the media.

Snazzy unique navigation may wow your site visitors, but if it hinders them from finding what they need, they won't be hanging around very long.
"Most sites have miserable information architectures that mirror the way the company internally thinks about the content and not the way users think about the content. Predictably, users ignore such unhelpful structure." It's been several years since design guru Jakob Nielsen wrote that assessment, and not much has changed since.
Typically, people "ignore such unhelpful structure" by leaving your site without having reached their goals, and they never come back. Want to help your customers shop and move them ever closer to converting into buyers? Then design your navigation to support the way your customers think, so your site anticipates the way your customers want to interact with it. Remember these three cardinal rules of navigation design: Keep it simple, make it intuitive, and be consistent.
Studies demonstrate that people search for and gather information in fairly predictable ways. Navigation has two basic roles to play. It orients the customer by letting him know where he is; and it directs, showing him where he can go and how he can get back to where he was before.
Let me summarize some basic truths about navigation:
Many different types of navigation schemes exist out there. Ideally, you should combine elements to create a scheme that works best for your business and your customers. The goal, obviously, is to orient and direct your customers to and through the conversion step of your persuasion process, whether that conversion is a purchase, subscription, phone call, or whatever other action you want your visitors to take. Let's talk about some of these schemes:
The right blend of schemes depends on the type of product or service you are offering and, in turn, the nature of your visitor. Keep these pointers in mind as you create the structure for successful and painless movement throughout your Web site, and you'll be on the right track:
Again, it's all about designing your information architecture around the searching patterns and psychology of your visitors -- not coming up with something that looks cool but sends your visitors clicking for the hills. When you make it easy for your visitors to find what they want to buy quickly and intuitively, more of them will convert. And that's the point, isn't it?

debunk - Amanda Marsh
Monday, Nov 11, 2013–Friday, Dec 6
Posted by: Department of Art and Design
A solo senior exhibition by Amanda Marsh.
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. At first glance, a strange, dreary, misplaced building might strike a fleeting thought in the mind of the passerby. If only they would realize the site's history, what it offers, and the current beauty it holds. Every place has its diamonds, carrying a tale not many would guess. These are the places I advocate for. As for those initial judgments and assumptions, I confront, or rather, debunk. One must first look, then seek, and finally see. For every oddity, truly I tell you; a rich tale is waiting to be set free.
Opening Reception: Tuesday, November 12, 6:00-8:00pm

The New York Police Department showed an anti-Muslim film "on a continuous loop" for between three months and one year of training at its COBRA (Chemical, Ordinance, Biological, and Radiological) Unit, which provides terrorism awareness training.
According to the New York Times, the documentary The Third Jihad showed Muslim terrorists shooting Christians in the head, executed children covered by sheets and a fake photograph of an Islamic flag flying above the White House. One of those interviewed in the film says that "Islamism is like cancer."
News of the film's use by the NYPD first broke in January 2011. A police official at the time claimed that it had only been shown "a couple of times."
But documents (PDF) obtained by the Brennan Center for Justice revealed that the film was "played on a continuous loop during the sign in, medical and administrative process" of the training. It was not used during the lecture portion of the training, though, only as an "intermission filler."
At least 1,489 police officers saw the film.
"Somebody exercised some terrible judgment," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the Associated Press. "As soon as they found out about it, they stopped it."
Staff at the COBRA Unit said they obtained the video from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. But the identity of that DHS agent who provided the film remains a mystery. The DHS said the film was not an authorized to be used or distributed by the department.
The film was eventually pulled after police officers complained that it was offensive.
"It's clearly a propaganda, anti-Muslim film," said Linda Sarsour, a member of the Muslim-American Civil Liberties Coalition. "It's overly dramatic, piecing together things out of context and threading it together to make this very false narrative about Muslim Americans."
The film was created by the Clarion Fund, a group tied to the Israeli orthodox organization Aish Hatorah, according to Think Progress. The group has received millions of dollars in donations and has produced multiple anti-Muslim films, including Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West and Iranium.

Most innovative energy-efficient glass product
JE Berkowitz Solarban 70XL insulating glass units in The Sandler Center for Performing Arts in Virginia Beach
Fabricator JE Berkowitz's Solarban 70XL IG unit is an energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable option for achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification, says Rebecca Ingram, marketing coordinator for the Pedricktown, N.J., company.
From PPG Industries, Pittsburgh, Solarban 70XL is a microscopically thin, magnetic sputter vacuum deposition, or MSVD, coating that provides a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.27, visible light transmittance of 64 percent and a light to solar gain ratio of 2.37 when paired with clear glass. A popular choice among building owners and architects, the Solarban 70XL coating has the potential to reduce energy costs by 5 percent , according to JEB officials, allowing architects to consider smaller HVAC systems.
"This coating, without a doubt, outperforms other similar products," says Robert Price, director of sales for JEB.
"We have used this product with many of our insulating and heat-treated projects with a great deal of success," adds Arthur Berkowitz, president. "The use of Solarban 70XL gives us a leading edge."
Its capabilities in energy efficiency—in both U-value and SHGC—along with its high visible light transmission, make it a top-performing product on the market today, Ingram says.
PPG's Solarban 70XL can be seen on a number of recently constructed, high-profile JEB projects, including: the Bank of America headquarters in Charlotte, N.C.; 1225 Connecticut Ave. in the heart of Washington, D.C.; the Hudson Exchange in Jersey City; the GE building in Albany, N.Y.; and The Sandler Center for Performing Arts in Virginia Beach.

A state coalition says the best way to reduce underage drinking is to increase the price of alcohol. They're targeting what's called the excise tax.
Gloria Souhami is the director of the Travis County Underage Drinking Prevention Program. She educates students from the 4th through the 12th grade about the dangers of alcohol.
"There's truancy, there's date rape, there's unintended pregnancy, there's assaults, there's all kinds of things that happen when children aren't supervised and impaired in some way," Souhami said.
She says 26 percent of AISD students surveyed last year admitted to having a drink within the past month.
Alex Tapia with Texans Standing Tall, a statewide coalition focused on preventing and reducing underage alcohol use. He says the best way to prevent and reduce underage alcohol use is to make drinking more expensive.
"Youth, they have $20 to spend. They're mostly getting their alcohol in social settings they tell us. So they're pulling that money together, they're buying the cheapest beer they can," Tapia said.
Tapia wants to increase the excise tax on alcohol. The last time it was changed was back in 1984.
As it stands, Texans pay 9.4 cents in taxes per 12 oz. beer, 7.9 cents per five oz. glass of wine and 22.6 cents per 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits.
Tapia says a 25 cent increase in state alcohol excise tax per serving of alcohol would generate $2.2 billion dollars a year for state coffers.
"We're not going to eliminate all underage drinking by increasing the price of alcohol. What we will do is decrease some of the drinking," Tapia said.
"We don't know if it will stop the actual buying but we do know is that it would be a deterrent it may be a second thought," Souhami said.

Executive Summary
This 1999 Hate Crimes in Florida Report, submitted in accordance with the 1989 Hate Crimes Reporting Act, contains data reported by individual county and local law enforcement agencies throughout Florida. These agencies reported the occurrence of hate crime incidents in 1999 under the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) information system. Currently, 400 agencies participate in the UCR system and this Report is based solely on the information provided to FDLE by the reporting agencies.
The 1999 Report includes data from 94 law enforcement agencies, an increase of 49 percent over the 63 reporting agencies in 1998. Over all, 23 percent of the 400 participating agencies reported hate crimes this year.
The number of reported hate crimes grew in direct proportion, from 203 in 1998 to 307 in 1999 — a 51 percent increase. Although several factors may have contributed to the increase in the reported number of hate crime incidents, one likely reason would appear to be the increase in the number of law enforcement agencies reporting. In addition, law enforcement agencies have received more specialized training in detecting, identifying, investigating and reporting crimes motivated by hate.
Since 1994, this office has conducted hate crimes training seminars for state and local law enforcement agencies through out Florida. To date, more than 2,800 police personnel in over 150 jurisdictions have received this training.
The 307 reported hate crime offenses represent criminal behavior that has been defined, categorized, and codified in Florida Statutes. The general motivation patterns underlying these incidents remain fairly consistent with previous years. For example, race remains the most common motivation for hate crimes, accounting for 58.6 percent of the 1999 incidents, a decrease when compared to 62.6 percent in 1998. The other motivation types in the report were ethnicity 10.1 percent, religious beliefs 15.6 percent, and sexual orientation 15.6 percent. The number of reported hate crimes increased slightly for religious and sexually motivated types in 1999, while racial and ethnically motivated types decreased.
Hate crimes are classified by two types of offenses, crimes against persons and crimes against property. Crimes against persons accounted for 69 percent of all reported hate crimes in 1999, an increase from 62 percent in 1998. These include robbery, assault, intimidation, and murder. Crimes against property accounted for 31 percent of all reported hate crimes in 1999, a decrease from 38 percent in 1998. These include vandalism, arson and burglary.
Again, caution should be applied in interpreting this data and in drawing conclusions solely from information contained in this report. It is important to note that this report does not include unreported crimes or crimes that may be hate-related but are not classified as such by the local law enforcement agency.

'Heartfelt and sincere' apology to family of neglect victim
The NHS has offered a "heartfelt and sincere" apology to the family of Sandra Aston, following her death in April last year.
Chief nursing officer, Helen Blanchard, has spoken of the apology sent to Mrs Aston's daughter, Tracey Holmes.
We would like to repeat our offer of a sincere apology to Mrs Holmes.
We accept that aspects of the care that her mother received were unsatisfactory, and we are deeply sorry for her family's experience.
We have been in regular contact with Mrs Holmes over the last year to talk about how we have learned from her experience.
– Helen Blanchard, Chief nursing officer at Worcestershire Hospitals NHS Trust
We were very grateful when Mrs Holmes attended a board meeting to allow senior staff to listen to her story and we have taken action to improve care.
I have written to Mrs Holmes recently to try and maintain communications, and would be happy to meet with the family again to address their needs.

I'm currently watching it on ESPN3.com... wish I was there. I think it says a lot about the Green Bay Packers fan base that they can essentially sell out the stadium (I'm not sure if they full did or not) at $5 a ticket just to have people watch some football players and front office people walk on the field and say a few words.
I like the fact that they did this instead of a parade, parades always seemed so stupid to me. But I hope they send the money from this to charity or something cause that's roughly $300,000 and I don't see why else they'd need to make people pay. Does anyone know what they're doing with that? Did they end up charging for those tickets?
Anyway, watching Coach McCarthy walk out with the Lombardi Trophy and then letting the fans touch it was pretty unreal.
I'm just happy they let the I.R. guys participate

Minibus driver still on the run
KINGSTON, Jamaica - Three days after the horrific crash that claimed the life of 18-year-old Mellisa Thompson in Half-Way-Tree, the driver of the minibus is still at large.
Traffic police today said that three men have so far been questioned in relation to the incident.
"So far we have questioned the owner of the bus, the designated driver of the vehicle and the conductor," head of the traffic department Radcliffe Lewis reported.
Police said the men will again be questioned today.
Reports are that the driver to whom the bus was assigned handed it over to the man involved in the crash that killed the girl and left at least three others injured.
Meanwhile police say they have intensified their search for the man who was behind the wheel when the crash occured.

The ban of 40 watt and 60 watt incandescent light bulbs went
into effect Jan. 1.
It doesn't mean stores can't still sell them and you can't
have them.
WTOC was asked and answered the questions some of us have
about the light bulb ban.
Yes, you can still find some of the banned bulbs on store
shelves, like at Home Depot, who are getting another shipment in this weekend.
However, 40 watt and 60 watt incandescent bulbs cannot be
manufactured anymore but they can still be sold until they are all gone. Just
because you have one doesn't mean you are breaking the law, either.
If you are using
compact fluorescent lights now, there's a lot you need to know.
"They do contain a small amount of mercury which is a
neurotoxin," said John Ringle of Home Depot.
The mercury levels are just one of the concerns people have
about the light bulb ban as some switch to compact fluorescent lights which
also need to be recycled, not thrown away.
"A lot of questions about it. People are still confused
about the aspect of incandescent versus compact fluorescent versus LED,"
Ringle said.
Ringle says the confusion over light bulbs is burning bright
with many wanting to know how much you really save.
"A compact fluorescent is about 14 watts of a 60 watt
incandescent. An LED is about 9 watts of a 60 watt incandescent. The life
expectancy is tremendously increased over an incandescent light bulb," he
said. "Compact fluorescent gives off a little heat. LED gives off no heat
at all. With LED, it doesn't emit UV rays. That's another bonus."
When the ban was going into effect, Home Depot says all
their 40 and 60 watt lights sold out.
"Quite a few people did come in and stock up, if you
will," Ringle said.
Ringle also says the compact fluorescent light are just a
bridge between the old and the LED, and will soon be phased out, as well.
"There is legislation pending that will get rid of
compact fluorescent and it will be all LED," he said.
The ban doesn't sit well with people on Facebook.
Many said they should have the freedom to choose what kind
of light bulb they buy. Others say they already see a difference in their bill.
"Just do a few. You don't see it, but you do your whole
house, it does help," one man said.
While some lawmakers are still fighting to repeal the light
bulb ban, Ringle believes it's more about the future than government meddling.
"With people using so much more electronic devices and
electric cars, we are going to have an increase in demand for power and it's
not easy to build power plants again," Ringle told WTOC. "We have to
lose it on one end to gain it on the other end."

RALEIGH, NC (WECT) - One of New Hanover County's future representatives in Raleigh is looking to take on a larger role when he arrives in the General Assembly next year.
Rick Catlin was elected to the newly-formed House District 20 in the North Carolina General Assembly in November. Catlin tells WECT.com he is putting his name in the ring to be freshman leader of the GOP caucus.
Catlin says he's in a good position personally to put in the time for the extra workload that would come with the leadership position. He believes the role would also help him better serve those in New Hanover County, because he'd be even more in tune with what is taking place.
Republicans will get the final say as to what if any role Catlin would play in leadership this coming session. There are 31 new members of the GOP and Catlin says a couple people have raised their hands for leadership roles.

Forest inspires artist's exhibition
2:10pm Monday 10th September 2012 in News
THE beauty of the Oxfordshire countryside has inspired sculptor Christopher Townsend for his first major city exhibition.
The O3 Gallery at Oxford Castle is showcasing his work until October 7.
The Tree of Life Series pays homage to the Wychwood Forest near his Ascott-under-Wychwood studio.
The sculpture was made from mild steel and sprayed with salt water solution to speed up the rusting process.
The artist, 38, said: "It is looking at nature and abstracting it and simplifying it.
"It is the biggest solo show I have ever done so it is fantastic."


text: I figured since we had a group together on the ESPN Tournament Challenge, that we should have a place where everybody involved could come and talk about it. So far, not a bad 2nd round for going 25-7, but it could have really good, if Butler and George Mason didn't win their games in the last minute. Obviously pretty much like everybody else, the losses Louisville and Georgetown hurt, and the Louisville will cost me all the way into the Elite 8. St. John's surprised me too, but it's their first year back in the dance in a while so maybe that had something to with it. All in all, a decent opening round, besides the fact our Tigers are out of it, but like I am telling everybody, right now were disappointed that the season is over, but in a couple of weeks will all look back on this season and realize what a success this was!

Votes continued to be spread among a large number of candidates with a particularly low percentage of the overall vote going to this past round's winner, Neil Walker. I think the general perception was that Ike Davis was probably the last really high ceiling guy with a fairly high chance of achieving that ceiling and now we are split between guys with lower ceilings and guys with higher ceilings but more of a long shot to get there.
Anyway, here is the voting for this past round.
Neil Walker 19%, Jonathon Niese 11%, Reid Brignac 11%, Tyler Colvin 11%, Michael Saunders 8%, Carlos Carrasco 6%, Jose Tabata 6%, Michael Leake 6%, Jenrry Mejia 6%, Drew Storen 6%, John Jaso 4%, Jonny Venters 4% Danny Valencia 4%
One minor issue I do want to mention is that particularly for players who were added in as write in candidates, there were some ambiguous comments and even some +1s that I had to do some detective work on to determine if they were votes or not. As an example, on the Jaso votes, there were a couple of +1s from people who also voted for others and it wasn't clear whether they were saying Jaso should be considered or actually voting for him. I, and I am sure those who will be running the community prospect poll, would greatly appreciate your making my/our lives as easy as possible in counting the vote by making sure that it is crystal clear whether you are voting or discussing.
The current standings are now:
1. Jason Heyward, outfielder Atlanta Braves
2. Buster Posey, catcher San Francisco Giants
3. Stephen Strasburg, pitcher Washington Nationals
4. Carlos Santana, catcher Cleveland Indians
5. Michael Stanton, outfielder Florida Marlins
6. Madison Bumgarner, pitcher San Francisco Giants
7. Starlin Castro, shortstop Chicago Cubs
8. Brian Matusz, Pitcher Baltimore Orioles
9. Pedro Alvarez, third base, Pittsburgh Pirates
10. Neftali Feliz, pitcher, Texas Rangers
11. Logan Morrison, outfielder Florida Marlins
12. Jhoulys Chacin, pitcher Colorado Rockies
13. Daniel Hudson, pitcher Arizona Diamondbacks
14. Justin Smoak, first base, Seattle Mariners
15. Jaime Garcia, pitcher St Louis Cardinals
16t. Austin Jackson, outfielder Detroit Tigers
16t. Ryan Kalish, outfielder, Boston Red Sox
16t. Wade Davis, pitcher Tampa Bay Rays
19. Ike Davis, first base, New York Mets
20. Travis Wood, pitcher Cincinnati Reds
21. Neil Walker, second base Pittsburgh Pirates
Based on last round's voting I am going to temporarily drop Alcides Escobar, Peter Bourjos and Jake Arrieta. This is probably the last round that I am going to be temporarily dropping players who get no support at all in a round, as if you don't get any votes in round 22 or later it would seem pretty unlikely that you are going to jump over 12 guys to win or even seriously compete for a win by round 27.
With Jaso, Storen, Venters and Valencia having all been nominated as write ins last round and all having received multiple votes I am going to keep all of them on the ballot which along with all those already on who received multiple votes last round, already brings us up to 12 on the ballot which is alot.. As a result, I am going to limit myself to bringing back just one player this round, Gaby Sanchez, who received a bit of support when he was last on the ballot a few rounds ago.
Temporarily dropped players: Mitch Moreland 0% (15), Michael Brantley 0% (16) Brennan Boesch 0% (16), Brett Wallace 0% (19); John Axford 0% (20), Josh Thole 0% (20), Alcides Escobar 0% (21), Peter Bourjos 0% (21), Jake Arrieta 0% (21)
.Players who I am planning on adding in the near future are Andrew Cashner, Alexi Ogando and Ian Desmond.
Other players who I am considering, althought I may not get to them without some positive discussion, are Chris Johnson, Kila Ka'aihue, Brooks Conrad, Alex Sanabia, Wilton Lopez and Sergio Santos. If you want any of these guys added, or if you want anyone else added who isn't mentioned, please discuss below. However, since we are probably only going 5 more rounds after this one, there isn't much point in seeking to add someone who you know you would never consider voting for by the 27th round.
As a reminder voting is by +1.

ELIZABETHTOWN — An impromptu "flash mob" brought the calm of Qigong dance to the farmers market Friday morning.
The gentle hand and foot movements, much like Tai Chi, stilled busy market chatter and the human hum for about 10 minutes.
Not one of the busy shoppers suspected that eight or nine practitioners would form an arc and bring their meditative motion to the woodchip-padded pavilion floor.
But everyone stopped visiting with friends and laughing with local farmers to watch, with an apparent mix of curiosity and interest.
The flash mob's demonstration started as Meadowmount School of Music student Andre Washington struck the first classical notes on his cello.
Qigong instructors from Ascent Wellness in Essex, Courtney Anderson and Brian Trzaskos, opened with a few, slow hand gestures that then drew in the other performers.
The gentle mix of stretching and breathing seemed to fit right in with the morning's warm, soft breeze.
A few children started copying the moves, watching carefully, imitating the rise and flow and turn of arms.
The performance was meant to introduce market-goers to outdoor summer qigong classes that start next Tuesday in the Colonial Gardens, beside the Adirondack History Center Museum.
Anderson and Trzaskos organized the market surprise introduction.
But both have been students of qigong and Tai Chi for years.
Trzaskos explained how the ancient Chinese form of movement harmonizes the "body-mind."
"The body-mind is one thing," he said. "When you do these practices, you release medicine within."
The motion of arms and simple stretches is contrasted with breathing techniques to accompany each movement.
"We're so busy in our lives," Trzaskos said, "we become distracted. We're not really taking full advantage of the medicine inside our selves."
Working alongside their parents, Trzaskos and Anderson's children shared what they've learned of the ancient meditative dance-like steps.

Do you have search capability on the iPhone and/or iPad apps
All responses
Hello Scott,
Unfortunately, it's currently now possible to use direct search, but you can set up a filter with a certain search query and save it. We will add direct search mode to our iOS app in the future, though.
Best regards,
Wow ... that was a fumble in the intial design phase of the app wasn't it?
If you want someone to copy, look at Evernote. Their search capabilities are brilliant (inside documents, etc.).
I hope to see this added soon. You lose a lot of functionaility to an otherwise great app without it.
We've just implemented an advanced live search option to our latest Android app released today so we'll surely implement it on the iOS app as well.
Best regards,

Villa Duchesne senior guard Kaitleya Frost felt it was just a matter of time before her team's shots started to fall Monday night in a non-conference game against St. Charles.
It would take a mighty long time as the Saints were held without a point in the second quarter and had another dry spell over almost five minutes in the third quarter. But the shots did fall when they counted the most as the Saints won their fourth game in a row and sixth of their last seven with a 36-27 victory. The loss snapped a four-game Pirate winning streak.
"It was certainly a defensive game," Frost said. "When your shots are not falling you just have to focus your attention on defense and try to get stops. We finally were able to make some shots late in the third quarter and early in the fourth."
The Saints actually got off to a fast start scoring three field goals in the first two minutes, two of them by Mary Kate Kabbes, to take a 6-0 lead. But that was not a sign of things to come as Villa Duchesne scored just four points in the final 14 minutes of the first half and trailed 14-10 at halftime.
"I told the girls at halftime but the good news was that despite not scoring any points in the second quarter that we were only four points behind," Villa Duchesne coach Jane Ellen Kuenzle said. "You have to give a lot of credit to the way St. Charles played defensively. They were very physical and knocked us off the ball.
"The good thing about this team is that we always play hard on the defensive end. And we did a better job of limiting their second shots in the second half and finally started to make some shots ourselves. It is a very good win when you can grind out a game like we did tonight."
Frost scored off the opening inbounds play to start the second half to pull the Saints within two points at 14-12. But they would not score again until Lauren Nickson hit a pair of free throws, the first attempted in the game by the Saints, with 3:26 to go in the third quarter.
St. Charles would lead by as many as seven points at 21-14 but Villa scored the final six points of the third quarter and then started the fourth quarter on a 7-0 run on a 3-pointer by Alex Roth and field goals by Frost and Nickson.
The Pirates would cut the lead to 29-25 on a field goal by Lauren Willis with 2:26 left. But the Saints iced the game with seven free throws in the final quarter.
"We looked like a JV team out there tonight," St. Charles coach Ben Owens said. "It looked like we have never played against a press before. Jane Ellen does a great job with these girls and we missed a lot of lay-ups and free throws. You can't do that against a good team like this and expect to win."
Katie Bradley had seven points and Olivia Hollander and Emily White added six each for the Pirates, who fell to 9-4 overall.
Frost had 15 and Nickson 13 to pace the Saints, who improved to 8-4.

Nice post, Katie! It was cool

Nice post, Katie! It was cool to see a reference to "Wolfe Londoner" which was apparently a household word in Denver, referring to the elegant variety store in downtown Denver ... and hearing about their "entertaining" - I'll bet those were fun affairs.

CATEGORIES MoviesTina Fey and Amy Poehler are both beloved comediennes on their own, but when their powers combine, the result is truly magic. Now, the dynamic duo may be set to appear in "Anchorman: The Legend Continues," in what one can only assume will be the greatest cameos ever.
The Film Stage has a blurry photo of Fey and Poehler's backs from the set of the film, and while it's unclear what roles they will play, it's fun to speculate. They teamed up in January to host the Golden Globes; maybe they'll appear as hosts of a news program that rivals Ron Burgundy's?
That sure-to-be-brilliant bit of casting follows a slew of other confirmed appearances in the follow-up to 2004's "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." Kristen Wiig, Greg Kinnear, and Nicole Kidman are among the many stars that have been added to the sprawling cast, and Harrison Ford was confirmed in March to play a Tom Brokaw-style veteran newscaster.
Original stars Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, Vince Vaughn, and David Koechner are all set to return. The legend continues December 20.

It is very easy to just toss all the paper, cans, recyclable plastic in one can, and I'm sure more people recycle than places where you need to separate all that.
