Merck Inks Deal on Vaccines
April 22, 2010
Merck & Co. has entered a deal with tiny vaccine maker MassBiologics to distribute its vaccine against tetanus and diphtheria in 49 states, according to the Associated Press. Merck will start distributing the Td vaccine in June throughout the U.S. except for Massachusetts. MassBiologics, a 116-year-old nonprofit vaccine developer now run by the University of Massachusetts Medical School, will continue to distribute the vaccine in that state. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Tetanus and diphtheria are both bacterial illnesses whose incidence has greatly been reduced by vaccines. The new deal fills a gap in Merck''s extensive vaccine lineup, enabling its sales representatives to encourage doctor loyalty by offering pediatricians and other physicians one-stop shopping for nearly every vaccine they provide to patients.

On March 28, two Thomas More College students were received into the Catholic Church in the personal chapel of Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, former Archbishop of Saint Louis and now a resident in Rome as the prefect of the Church's highest court—the Apostolic Signatura.
"Today, we are privileged to witness in a most beautiful manifestation the work of God's grace flowing from the glorious pierced Heart of Jesus through the mediation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary," said Cardinal Burke in his homily.
For Kristina Landry from Ellington, Connecticut, and Jonathan Wasserman from Kansas City, Missouri, both just nineteen, it was the perfect conclusion to the Rome Semester spent studying the magnificence and history of the Eternal City as part of Thomas More College's core curriculum.
"Though not Catholic when they began their studies at Thomas More College," said a peer, "it was immediately evident that both were seekers. They were looking for the truth and when they discovered it to be a person, Christ, they were courageous enough to make the sacrifices it takes to embrace Him."
"I feel incredible," Jonathan said just moments after being received into the Church. "It was a dream come true. I'm just so glad to have this all. I'm happy."
"It's incredible, amazing, awe inspiring," added Kristina. "The Catholic Faith encompasses everything that is true. It is how we are meant to praise God."
When asked why he became Catholic, Jonathan responded, "It is the one true Church. To be a Catholic is to have the truth with you."
Their peers were overjoyed and provided beautiful Gregorian Chant that filled the sixteenth century Baroque chapel during Mass.
After administering the Sacrament of Confirmation, Cardinal Burke said to the new Catholics, "As Baptism was your personal Easter, so Confirmation will be your personal Pentecost."
Concluding his homily, he encouraged and advised them, "Keep yourself alive in Christ through frequent reception of Holy Communion and through regular confession. Throughout the day deepen Christ's life within you by your prayers and devotions, especially devotion to the most blessed Sacrament, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Holy Mother of God and the whole company of saints."
Knowing he was addressing young intellectuals, he added, "never cease to study with fervor the truths of our faith especially as they are set forth in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: and never to give way to discouragement or grow weary in your daily efforts to live those truths in a good and holy life."
Each student at Thomas More College is required to spend three full months on our campus in Rome, staying at a majestic villa by night and taking private tours of the Eternal City by day. Students are immersed in the history and culture of Rome. They study theology with a Vatican-based theologian, attend Mass at St. Peter's Basilica, take day trips to Assisi, Siena, Florence, and venture into one of the Church's most critical apostolates—communications. The College's Vatican Studies Center and the Internet-based Catholic media agency, H2o News employ students to create worldwide TV broadcasts about Church news—editing, correcting translating, and dubbing the voices of newsmakers, cardinals, and even Pope Benedict XVI.
Both Jonathan and Kristina agreed that living in Europe this semester characterized their conversions. For example, Saint Peter was a natural choice for Jonathan when deciding on a confirmation saint. Similarly for Kristina, who chose Saint Faustina, a twentieth century nun famous for introducing the Divine Mercy devotion, and whose native country, Poland, Kristina was able to make a pilgrimage to.
"Coming to Europe and seeing in Italy and especially in Poland that there's just so much faith in the people and in the youth, that gives you a lot of hope for future generations," said Kristina.
Jonathan added that the Rome Semester is inspiring because "you are being surrounded by beauty all the time."
Rome Program director Tony Assaf said that students "become an extended family during these three intense months together. This is the first time, though, that we've been able to celebrate the 'birthday' of a new brother and sister in Christ into our Catholic family during the course of the program."
"I am deeply moved by Kristina's and Johnny's conversions," said Dr. William Fahey, President of Thomas More College. "And I am grateful to Cardinal Burke for his involvement. He has been good to us—showing support not just on an institutional level, but by seeing and taking an interest in the individuals who make up our community."
Cardinal Burke is a longstanding friend of the College. In addition to having now brought two of the College's students into the Church, he has visited the Rome Campus twice, welcomed students to his office in the Vatican, spoke at our President's Council Dinner in Boston, MA, and is currently serving on the advisory council for our capital campaign.

Country Spotlight: Randy Montana
July 26, 2011 at 11:33 am , by Ron Kelly
It's rare when a new artist's debut CD leaves you immediately counting down the days to his next. That being said, Randy Montana's self-titled first album already has me staring down my calendar. You can pick out bits of his childhood influences (Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen) throughout his music, which definitely leans toward the rockier side of country. But it's his sharper than average songwriting skills that really draw you in from the first track to the last. Take his methodically paced ode to the working class in "Assembly Line," written by Montana and Natalie Hemby:
"All day long in steel-toed boots / vacation days that I'll never use / there's a rumor going round that's got nothing to do with me / Charlie swears he's gonna quit / put his two weeks in and that's it / he's been talking that way since the summer of '93."
The footwear might differ from your own, but the workplace politics and the emotional drain of a daily routine make this song universal. On the equally powerful "Last Horse," on which he's joined by Emmylou Harris, Montana exposes the fears of a man sizing up a relationship that's headed south. He cowrote the song with Rodney Clawson and his father, Billy Montana, an accomplished songwriter himself (Jo Dee Messina's "Bring on the Rain", Garth Brooks' "More Than a Memory"), and it's definitely a standout number.
Born in Albany, New York, but raised in Nashville, music was as much a staple in Montana's house as dinner on the table and he's been feeding his musical hunger since the age of 10. Fifteen years later, his debut CD is hitting stores today. I chatted with Montana a few weeks ago about the album, what female country icon he recently blasted in his car, what he's learned from former tour mate Taylor Swift, and his approach to songwriting and the music industry itself.
Your dad, Billy Montana, is an accomplished songwriter. In the nature vs. nurture argument, do you feel you were born with an ability to write great songs, or is it a skill you learned from studying him and other songwriters in the field?
I definitely feel it is passed down. And I've always felt like you either got it or you don't, in a sense. But you never start off writing good songs. Somebody told me you gotta write 100 bad ones before you can write a good one, and I truly believe that. [laughs] So that goes against the whole genetic passing thing. I just grew up around it. [My dad] was always playing new songs, new demos. There was music around my house all the time and when you grow up like that, you take it for granted because it's always there. It's just your way of life.
What's your favorite song of his?
He wrote one about our family called "House of a Thousand Dreams" [recorded by Martina McBride]. Yeah, that's my favorite song of his that he's ever written. It's really about us and what's cool about it is that each verse is from a different perspective. The first verse is from the perspective of the man. He's like, "I'm just a man. I work with my hands, and lately no work has been around. I wish I could put more on the table and provide the life I'm sure my family dreams about." And then he just starts describing the house and he's like, "There's cracks on all the walls and all the windows, and the flies they find their way in through the screen. But I'll keep praying, hope will go on living, in this house of a thousand dreams." And then it goes to the wife and she kind of has that same outlook. She looks at her husband and she's saying, you know, he works hard and I know it's tough, so I'm gonna do what I can. And then it comes to the kid, and the kid says he loves the way the wind blows through the screens. He loves it and he sees nothing wrong with it. And it's just kind of how I grew up.
There was a piece recently on the Tennessean blog by Peter Cooper that kind of took a lot of male country artists to task for playing up the redneck / back-road themes a bit too much of late in their songs. What's your whole take on all that?
I'm just as red as anybody. I hunt deer, I fish all year round, I love the outdoors. But for some reason I've never chosen to really sing about it. I can't speak for anybody else. I will solely speak for myself. My take on country music is that it never has to be about the back road. It never has to be that. I get it, man. That's life. There are many people's lives that that applies to, but it doesn't have to be [about that]. I feel like country music is all about feeling and connecting with people through a song. If it is about the party in the woods, more power to you. But if it's also about living in your high-rise apartment downtown and the girl that you've been seeing for the last three months just told you she's leaving you for your best friend down on 4th Avenue, it can be that, too. That's what I love about country music. You could never, ever listen to a country lyric and not understand what the song is talking about. That's country music for me.
Emmylou Harris sings with you on "Last Horse." Take me through how that went down.
Emmy is one of the sweetest people alive. We'd already finished the track—background vocal and everything. We sent it to her and asked her if she wanted to sing on it. First of all, I'm in awe because think of the list of people she's sung with. That blew me away. I remember sitting on the couch, and we'd talked about not getting anybody down there with cameras for a photo op. It was literally me, Jay [Joyce], who produced it, Jason the engineer and her. We were down in the studio and she was phenomenal, man. I tried to take as many mental pictures as I could. I specifically sat there and told myself to burn this in my mind because this may never happen again. I can honestly say that's probably the coolest thing as far as collaborations go that I've been a part of in my short career. And I think it's my favorite [track] on there.
This being Ladies' Home Journal and all, what other female artists have inspired you?
I love Sheryl Crow. Patty Griffin. I think she's an unbelievable singer and songwriter. I can't get enough of Janis Joplin's singing. I gotta say Dolly Parton. I was just on vacation in Wyoming and there was an old country station playing "I Will Always Love You." I was sitting in the car all by myself and I just cranked it up. She just sounded amazing singing that song. Whitney Houston made it her own but I think a lot of people forget that no, no, no, no, no—it's a Dolly Parton song.
You also played some opening spots on Taylor Swift's current Speak Now world tour. What did you learn from that experience?
That was awesome. She does such an amazing job connecting with the person sitting in, you know, seat 334, row ZZZ. That's what blew me away about watching her performances. I think the coolest one was in Foxboro. For my set it was dry and she came out and the skies just opened up. And nobody left. She does a great job of connecting with everybody in that audience.
Lastly, and tell the truth, have you ever gotten in trouble with your wife, or an ex, for writing something a little too personal in a song?
You always wonder! I mean, some of those stories might add up. But I've never gotten in trouble with my wife. What's good is that finally, with her being around the music industry, I came home and played her a straight-up cheating song and she didn't go, "Well, what's this one about, Randy? Where'd you get the idea for this one?" I don't know if any exes will ever listen to the record and go, "I wonder if that one's about me?" I don't know. I'll be anxious. If I get that phone call, I'll call you back.

Wow, thanks Dianna Wray for writing this story, it brought back soooo much of my childhood (I know the Glass's personally, along with some of the "older"generation names from the 70's/80's boom such as Chenault, Tighe, McLeroy to name a few). Also....API, Desk and Derrick, the Oil and Gas expo, rig parties......they were so much of my childhood since both my mom and step-dad were oilfield personnel. Thanks for bringing so many good memories to the forefront for me.March 20, 2012 at 12:25 a.m.
Nope....sorry, but i have to say familyman is correct. One way the companies get around paying overtime is by paying salary instead. So therefore the "average" oilfield worker is not making the $100,000 a year. I know I'd LOVE for my husband to be makimg that, but in reality....he's making about half that. And, top that off with not being able to find housing close to where he (Yorktown) or I (Kenedy) work.....means we are burning up a lot of our paychecks just getting back and forth to work! Thank goodness for his son and fsmily for letting us stay with them here in Victoria until we can get back on our feet after my husband being laid off 2 years ago (from the oilfield after 25 years) and getting a security job until getting the call to return to Victoria (and the oilfield which is where he loves to work).March 20, 2012 at 12:19 a.m.
Believe me, from my vantage point I can assure you that there is all the work in the world available, along with the money (read: wages, with all the sweet overtime one could possibly want) to accompany it in this industry right now.
Just remember, those that work all the overtime are DRIVING these big rigs and heavy equipment trucks on the road. Sometimes people working themselves half to death wind up putting others in danger, especially on the roadways. Not blaming anyone; when the boom times present themselves, wise people take advantage of them. Just be aware when out on the road; with increased EFS activity, we have seen way too many accidents.
There is a constant flow of new hires recently; this play will eventually play out. But for now, it seems these companies can't get enough employees. Boom times indeed.March 18, 2012 at 10:37 a.m.
Yes familyman but the companies are working these guys sometimes 80 hours a week or more, including the truck drivers. $20/hour means $30/hour overtime. There's a shortage of help out there.March 18, 2012 at 8:15 a.m.
Overtime.March 18, 2012 at 6:31 a.m.
The average oil-field worker gets about $100,000 a year right now, Railroad Commissioner Barry Smitherman recently said at the Victoria Energy Summit.
I worked in the oilfield since I started working and only the big wigs make $100,000 per year. The average oilfield worker is doing good to make $3,000 per month or $36,000 per year maybe $40,000 per year. $100,000 per year equals about $50 per hour for a 40 hour week. Do you know anyone that makes $50 per hour in the oilfield? This Barry Smitherman needs to get his facts straight.March 18, 2012 at 3:45 a.m.

News: Ja Rule's Gun Possession Fate Revealed On B.I.G.'s Anniversary
Thursday, Feb 10, 2011 7:55AM
New York rapper Ja Rule will learn his fate for a gun possession charge on the upcoming anniversary of the passing of late rap legend, The Notorious B.I.G.
Initially set to be sentenced yesterday (February 9), Rule's court date was moved to B.I.G.'s March 9th anniversary.
Ja Rule appeared in court on February 9 to respond of illegal possession of weapons. The sentence, however, has been postponed to March. Jeffrey Atkins, mostly known for his stage name Ja Rule, faced court on February 9 to understand when his first day of prison will be. However, the rapper was told he has to wait until March 9 to know when he will have to surrender to police authorities for his 2 year sentence. (Suite 101)
Rule also confirmed his day in court on Twitter yesterday.
"On my way to court day 1 of shooting for my new show...," Rule tweeted. (Ja Rule's Twitter)
The rapper's initial legal fate was announced in a Manhattan court around mid-December.
Wearing dark-blue jeans and a black sweater, the rapper said "guilty" and answered yes to a judge's questions in a low voice. "Because of your guilty plea here today, you'll have a record of having committed a violent felony. This is a very serious matter," Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Richard Carruthers told the rapper. Ja Rule's lawyer, Stacey Richman, had no immediate comment. Specifically, the rapper admitted to a charge that involves attempting to have a loaded gun outside one's home or workplace. Ja Rule was promised two years in prison when he is sentenced in February. (Wall Street Journal)
Rule's incident took place in summer 2007 after leaving a Lil Wayne concert.
Ja Rule was leaving the Beacon Theater when his car was stopped. Police said they smelled marijuana and found a .40-caliber semiautomatic gun in the rear driver's side door. He wasn't charged with drug possession, and a judge threw out the rapper's statement to police that he had "a little bit of weed" in his pocket. (Baltimore Sun)

Zac Brown Stands His 'Ground' on Putting Fans First
Zac Brown Band concerts have always been about more than just great live music. Frontman Zac is as talented behind a stove as he is behind a microphone and combines his two loves with 'Eat and Greets,' serving lucky fans with huge buffets of scrumptious southern fare, most of which are his own recipes, before every show.
Making their famous Eat and Greets even meatier, the reigning CMA New Artist of the Year has teamed up with Landshark and Jack Daniel's to take their pre-concert tradition to a whole new level. This weekend, Oct. 21 – 23, they're hosting the Southern Ground Music & Food Festival in Charleston, S.C., boasting a diverse lineup of talent both on the stage and in the kitchen. In addition to performances by more than 30 acts from the country, rock, pop and bluegrass worlds, the three-day event also features cuisine by James Beard Foundation award-winning chefs. (For you non-foodies, that's like winning a Grammy for your cooking.)
The Boot talked to Zac about how he personally designed the entire event. We also got the sweet story behind the band's latest single and video, along with some inside scoop on the next ZBB album. And turning to his other job as a music mogul, we pick the Georgia native's brain on the must-have criteria for those joining him on his latest musical venture, a new record label.
How did you come up with the concept for the Southern Ground Music & Food Festival?
As a fan, my dream would be to be right up there on stage with an act … Someone would bring me a four-course meal with some really good Napa wine and beer, and I'd be able to watch the show from right there. We created that with these front-porch stage boxes; it's been an idea I've had for a number of years. We had them all fabricated and specially made — it's really the first major unveiling of these things. Aside from that, we've got some James Beard award-winning chefs cooking with Chef Rusty to provide concessions. It's a full-sensory experience, not just the amazing bands and music. It's a foodie festival, as well. Gourmet food. I have a chance to show our fans the level of hospitality that we want to give them, to show them we pay attention to those kind of details.
Any recipe on the menu that you're particularly excited about?
We have a rub that I created back when I had my restaurant. It's a really thin, fresh-sliced filet. We got whole-beef tenderloins. We don't cut corners with our food, we trim those up daily and grill them in a special grill that has a fan in it that helps get [the meat] up to 700 or 800 degrees. Little things like that. You have to caramelize the outside of the food to get it to the next level. But the beef filet, pork tenderloin — the brown sauce on the top of it — I've been working on it for a long time. There's going to be all kinds of creations between all the chefs who are coming. It's like a big 'Iron Chef' festival.
You're performing with Zac Brown Band all three nights, headlining a bill that's really eclectic — everyone from My Morning Jacket to Del McCoury. How'd you decide who to invite to the Southern Ground stage?
We wanted it to be diverse. If you are a music lover and you come with open ears, you're gonna hear a bunch of stuff you've never heard before and hopefully you'll leave a fan.
How did Charleston get so lucky?
Charleston is a beautiful city in the fall. It's just a great place to be. It's a destination city, so hopefully people can come and stay all weekend. People are gonna have to take a chance on it the first time, people who don't know about it. We put so much love and care into putting it together, we really feel like it's well worth your money and people will leave inspired with your bellies full.
Another beautiful setting to which you guys are partial is Colorado's Red Rocks Ampitheatre. It's where you filmed a live show for The Boot last year and where you recently filmed your 'Keep Me in Mind' video. How'd you come up with the idea to show the ins and outs of a live show for that song's official video?
It's important that people come see our show, because we are performers. We wanted people to see that. We filmed last year at Red Rocks and got a helicopter and actually flew over and got some amazing footage and put all that beautiful stuff together. We had two days of time-lapse [photography]. The majesty of that place and the energy of our live show and the crowd is amazing. It's my favorite video we've made so far.
What's the story behind the song's lyrics? Melodically, it's such a happy song, yet you kinda feel bad for the guy!
My songwriting partner, Wyatt Durrette — the girl he is in love with and dating right now wasn't available when he first met her, but he knew there was something special there. So that was how it got started. Wyatt and I started working on the song for awhile, and then Nic Cowan had written part of a song and played it for me and I was like, "That's the bridge for 'Keep Me in Mind.'" So there's three of us on that song. It just fit. We didn't rush anything. It felt good.
Nic is one of the artists on your own record label, Southern Ground Artists, along with Levi Lowrey, Sonia Leigh, the Wood Brothers and Blackberry Smoke. Besides the Georgia connection that all of you have, what was the "it" factor you looked for when signing musicians?
I've seen all of them many times, and they're not just good, they are great. They write their own music, play and perform well and know the road. To be a Southern Ground artist, you have to be a lifer. It's not about winning a karaoke contest or a television show to become famous. It's about really paying your dues. It's people I'm fans of and want to help in the business. It's our music family, our own musical movement. I love to be part of something way bigger than the Zac Brown Band — to be a part of a movement of music like Stax Records back in the day, or like Motown. Whenever I find someone who is supremely talented and have all the other stuff that goes with it, that's the only way to be a Southern Ground artist.
Congrats on your eight ACA nominations, announced just last week. Where were you when you heard the news?
I was in the car. Somebody said, "Really? You woke up to that?" No, I didn't even know. It's an honor.
The ACAs are fan-voted, while the CMAs — at which you're up for five trophies this year — are industry-voted. Is it a different feeling, getting an award from the fans versus one from industry peers?
They both mean a lot to us. It's nice to get one from our peers and from all the people in country music, but also from the fans. They're both great. We're equally grateful.
Your latest album, 'You Get What You Give,' has a lot of life left in it. But knowing how often you write, you're probably already done with your next one. Can you let us in on where you are in the process of making a new album?
We're working on songs and finishing up this next record. We're going into arrangements in November. In our sets, we've been playing a song called 'Sweet Annie' that's going to be on the record. There will be some cool collaborations on this record, as well. We're excited about this album … to get back out there and do it all over again.
Most of the time, an artist has to get to a certain point before a record label will let them decide on their own what should be the radio singles from an album. How does it work with you and Atlantic Records?
I choose the singles. They believe in me enough that I know my fans and know what's next. I've chosen all the singles we've put out so far. There is an art to it. Working with Atlantic, they try to tell me to do my thing … we do our thing. We're really blessed that we've been as well received as we have been. We thank The Boot and everybody for being the support system for us and keeping us connected to the fans. It's very much appreciated.

They sound warm, smooth, deep, balanced, loud, clean, clear, lush, powerful, punchy, dynamic, detailed, sparkling, complex, and succulent; but sometimes there's a steely grayish coloration in the upper midrange! They are a sweet sounding speaker,the highs are clean and they will get warm and breakup smoothly,it does take some volume though by pushing just the amp.

No arms, no legs, no limits!
As mentioned I want to use this blog to tell the stories of extraordinary people.
Nick Vujicic is definitely one of those! He was born without arms and legs but is living a happy life, living out his dreams and serving others. His life is a living testimony of courage, will power and faith.
Growing up without arm and legs was a struggle to be sure. His story is also a tale of a young man who wanted to end his life. He needed help with practically everything, was bullied at school and didn't see a future for himself as he thought he wouldn't be able to do the things he dreamed of: Living independently, having an education, getting a job, getting married, having children.
At 15 he read about the blind man in the Bible, who Jesus said was blind so the glory of God could be revealed on him. Jesus healed the blind man, and Nick made a plan: "OK, God. You give me arms and legs and it will be a great testimony. I will travel the world and tell everyone about you. I will do anything. I will be famous, speak on the Oprah Winfrey Show - Come on, it would be awesome!"
God hasn't answered that prayer yet. But Nick is traveling the world to tell you, that if God does not answer your prayer, it is because he has something better for you. And guess what: Today Nick has an education, a job, his own house and he lives independently. He enjoys swimming, golfing, surfing and has written a book about his life. He travels the world and speaks to thousands of people in schools, prisons, business circles, orphanages and hospitals. And he will be on the Oprah Winfrey Show!! (She just doesn't know yet.)
You can watch him share how he went from a life without limbs to a life without limits here:
It is his passion to see lives touched and changed, and he does that speaking to kids, teenagers, handicaped, parrents, businesmen and women around the globe. He is in India these days.
Here are a few points from his talks on self esteem, dreaming big and overcoming obstacles:
"You are beautiful just the way you are."
"Do you know the difference between happiness and joy? Happiness makes you happy when the happenings of your life are going well. The joy of the Lord is knowing that no matter what happens God is with you and He will never forsake you, He will never leave you."
"About dreaming big: If you want to see your full potential in your ministry, do not focus on your capabilities. Focus on your availabilities. When you make yourself available for God's work - in and through you - to reach out to the world some wonderful thing are gonna happen! It is happening to me right now."
"It doesn't matter how many times you fail. You can fail 100 times and still have victory. It matters how you finish. Never, ever give up!"
I love the way these words have so much power imbedded in his personal story of being born without limbs.

A great deal of the coverage of Brian Burke's firing has focused on the odd timing of the move. It is a little perplexing that MLSE decided to get rid of the GM a few days before the shortened season starts. True. For me, the strange part is that there was absolutely no media leaks, innuendo, whispers or veiled/blatant threats that a move was in the cards. It was so secretive it is as if Anthopoulos was running things or something. Regardless, it was clear that someone at the top of the food chain wanted Burke out and they made sure it happened. The media speculated about the possible reasons. Stubbornness, prickliness, personal problems, personality problems, lack of a plan for the future, poor performance in the past...whatever, he was in the cross hairs. This to me is the surprising thing, that Burke was walking on thin ice and that nobody really new about it.
Now that we have been told that the ownership was considering a change, the timing actually makes perfect sense to me. If they wanted Burke gone, do it now. To illustrate why, here are a few scenarios that could have played out that would have clarify why the time was now. The bottom line, you have to assume that MLSE wanted to make the change, so the timing is the only thing to question.
If the Leafs stumble out of the gate, potentially dooming the chances of the playoffs, fabulous. You can get rid of him and all will be well. As frightening as it is to admit it, the odds of this happening could be pretty good. If the team only wins four of the first ten games, Leaf nation will panic. Let's face it, we are conditioned for this, and fans will start raving and drooling like Pavlov's dog. Light the torches and grab your pitchfork and get yourself to the ACC as soon as possible!
But what if it doesn't happen? You are stuck with Burke if the team is even mediocre. You can't justify a firing, even in a shortened season, if the team is .500 after ten or twelve games. And if they start off hot? Well, Burke is here for the season. You have to live with that, and maybe even more. Can you fire Burke the year after he makes the playoffs? No.
And what about player movement. Everyone has said that Burke needed to make a big trade to save his job so the fans were expect something big. If Burke makes a trade that works out well for the team, how can you fire the guy after that? Let me just pull a name from out of a hat....um...Roberto Luongo. Let's pretend Burke traded for Luongo and your new shiny goalie gives hope to Leaf fans for better things to come. You can't get rid of a GM that pulls something like that off, can you? What if the trade back fires? Well, could you fire Burke if he traded for Luongo and he plays terribly or he got hurt a couple weeks later? Don't you have to let this play out a little before you fire Burke? What would it do to Luongo's ego if the GM that traded for you gets canned two weeks later? Would you feel good about playing out the remaining years of your contract (of which there are many) playing for a team that was so impressed by your acquisition that they dump the man that pulled the trigger? To sum things up, if you want to fire your GM and make your fans happy, you can't let him make a trade of any magnitude first.
So, what happens now that MLSE had dumped the GM before the season? Is the timing really strange? I think MLSE has done something that is actually very clever (minus the way they handled the communications and PR of the move, admittedly that sucked. Nonis looked like he had been dry heaving prior to the press conference). MLSE have set Dave Nonis up to succeed, regardless of what happens. Isn't this what you want to do? Any way you want to spin things, Nonis is going to look great. Won't this take some pressure off of him and the team?
If the Leafs stumble out of the gate, the heat doesn't fall on your new GM (or if you kept him, the circus side show that would have followed your old one). Sure, Nonis was part of the old regime, but it was not him that had the final say on the guys on the ice. Those are Burke's mistakes (just like Burke had a couple years grace period with JFJ's guys that were mistakes). If the team starts off .500 or, even better, go on a tear...well that is fantastic! Nonis is in charge of a team on the rise. Sure he inherited all the players, but he had a hand in shaping that team! Spin is fun! We are in good shape!
What about a big trade. If you let your new GM make the trade that was going to happen anyway, and suppose all goes well, Nonis gets all the credit. If Luongo, or any other newly acquired player, leads you to the playoffs, Nonis is a hero. If you trade for Luongo and he stumbles this year (or he gets hurt), he still has many years to make you look good. He will be motivated to make you look good as well, because Nonis showed faith and traded for you. Again. More importantly, you are not the former GM's guy (which brings a new level of pressure to impress). If you don't think that mentality exists, type in "should Nonis trade Kessel" into Google and tell me what happens. Let's be honest, the trade that killed Burke is the acquisition of Phil Kessel. Admit it, you would rather have Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton wearing the Blue and White today, right? You probably didn't feel that strongly about it when those picks were more abstract and Kessel was putting up 30 goals in 2009-10.
You can argue that Burke deserved another season, a short one at that, to right the ship. You can argue that he would have. You can also argue that MLSE lacked class when they ousted Burke (as Damien Cox did). If you are an optimist and you want to look forward to the new Leaf regime (strange concept in Leaf land, I know), you can argue the opposite point. Nonis will be a hero if the Leafs make the playoffs this year. MLSE showed some class setting Nonis up to succeed instead of hiring him mid-year when things were in total disarray. Since they wanted Burke gone, this was the only time that they could have done it.

California State University Trustees have backed off, for now.
The board that governs the system's 23 campuses is meeting today and Wednesday in Long Beach. It was due to take up a proposed fee hike for students who have a wealth of semester units, as well as students taking more than 18 units in a single semester and those repeating a courses.
Under the proposal, students with more than 160 units — most bachelor degrees require 120 units — would have been charged an additional $372 per unit. The idea, officials said, was to encourage graduation and to free up additional seats for incoming students.
Since the proposed hikes were announced a week and a half ago, there has been significant push back on the idea from students and student groups.
In a phone conference last week, CSU Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer Ephraim P. Smith said the higher fees would boost graduation rates and increase access for other students. He said. other states, such as Florida, Utah and Texas have implemented similar systems. But Smith didn't have any documentation showing whether those programs were considered successful.
"I do not have how many seats were saved when they implemented the fees," he said.
Tuesday morning, CSU officials announced they were tabling the proposal for now in order to "gather additional information and input from stakeholders."
They did not say when they would look at the proposal again.

|Birds are amazing creatures
By Will Maines
BIRDS ARE amazing creatures.
Take your pick; beginning with Big Bird, who for the past 40 years — give or take a couple — has been capturing the hearts of kids all over the world.
You might next consider some of the exotics like macaws, parrots, flamingos and others which are forever viewed with amazement by people visiting zoos.
We in America have a love affair with our national bird, the bald eagle, while we stand in awe of endangered birds like the whooping crane and are entranced, at least in the North Woods, by the antics and songs of the common loon.

Elsie writes: My mother is recovering from an illness and a friend told her it would be beneficial to have some "air cleaning plants" in the house. I am not familiar with these types of plants. Can you explain how they clean the air? In addition, can you recommend a few plant choices that I can plant in an attractive container? (The potted plant will receive some bright morning light from a nearby window.)
Here is a simplified explanation of how plants clean the air:
Air cleaning plants breathe in "dirty" air and trap pollutants within their structures. Then they exhale
oxygen-rich air in addition to keeping humidity at proper levels that aid in keeping allergies at bay. (A few examples of the pollutants in our homes are found in carpets, furniture, plastics and cleaning products.)
There are several beneficial plants that fall into this description and some are known to do a better job than others, plus being not so fussy about available light and water.
I have a feeling that you would prefer an air cleaning plant that is fairly easy to grow and adds a decorative feel to your mother's home. Here are two possibilities: 1) Corn plant, Dracaena fragrans, is an upright plant with corn-like leaves to 3 feet in length and 4 inches wide. It will tolerate lower light and only needs to be watered when the to 1-inch top of the soil is dry; 2) Spider plants, Chlorophytum comosum, are usually used indoors as hanging plants and are admired for their clumping, long, blade-like leaves that cascade into new offsets that form new plants. At one time this was a favorite houseplant that was seen in many homes. It is not particular about water but do water when the top inch of soil is dry. Beware of allowing any houseplant to sit in standing water, so empty the tray beneath the plant after watering.
Liz asks: Do you have a favorite rose that is fragrant and disease resistant?
I have many favorite roses, but one in particular is "Yves Piaget," a deep pink hybrid tea, that is planted by the front walk, emits the most heavenly fragrance, has shiny leaves, is not too thorny and is disease resistant. The huge peony-like blooms keep their color during the hot summer temperatures and the blossoms have taken "a hit" just now with the extreme low temperatures.

Two weeks after the Multnomah County sheriff announced he was forming a task force to find missing Kyron Horman, one agency has declined an invitation to join.With more than $1 million spent on the investigation, Sheriff Dan Staton said Sept. 15 the new task force would help redirect resources as the investigation narrows its focus. He said Multnomah County detectives would make up 30 percent of the team and outside agencies would provide the rest.On Thursday, the Gresham Police Department confirmed it did not join, citing a lack of resources. Its officers said they were "forced to decline because we simply don't have the manpower."Former Multnomah County sheriff's Capt. Bruce McCain said that's not a good sign."So, when their chief, with 100,000 people to protect and 100 officers to do it, says they can't afford the manpower for a task force, you can almost guarantee that Troutdale and Fairview, which are much smaller, cannot afford it, either," he said.Several other law enforcement agencies around the metro area said they are still undecided as to whether they could join the task force.Hillsboro police, the Washington County Sheriff's Office and the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office all said they haven't yet made a decision.A spokeswoman for the Beaverton Police Department said, "At this point, we don't have anyone dedicated to it."However, the Portland Police Bureau's spokeswoman said they would be happy to provide a detective."I think we're all grateful that (Portland Police Chief Michael) Reese has stepped up and offered help. The real tragedy is that the sheriff's office waited four months to ask Portland for assistance," McCain said.It is not known how many agencies or which ones have been contacted to be part of the task force.A spokeswoman for the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office said they are still in the process of forming the task force, and the group would be formed as soon as possible.

The Denver Nuggets have over the past two summers shown no real desire to improve the obvious weakness on this team (BIG MEN). Why? All we've heard coming from the F.O. is that "we tried really hard, but....." Or, "we offered this guy a contract, but......" As a die hard Nuggets fan I'm over it!!!!!
It's no secret that the Nuggets only needed a piece or two after our amazing run to the conference finals two years ago. It's also no secret that Stan has been in cost cutting mode for the past three years. So who's to blame in all of this? If Stan hasn't been willing to spend the green to get the right player then we as nuggets fans are in for a lot of disappointment and heart break. If Stan has been willing to spend money on the right player then it's our front office that has failed us. In any job that I've ever had, telling my boss repeatedly that I tried, but I just couldn't get my work done doesn't end well. I'm so tired of these lame excuses coming from our front office. Where's the accountability? This is probably a good reason why both Wark and Chap don't have new contracts at this point. I really wish we had a more outspoken owner like Mark Cuban (I can't believe I just said that) because then we would really know where this organization is heading.
I see people bashing Melo for not signing this extension right away, but do you blame him. He is watching as all the first and now second tier free agents have come and vanished to other teams. The future in Denver doesn't look bright. All of the potential players that could fit in with the Nuggets style are long gone. We can't get anyone to seriously consider us. We've always had a problem attracting free agents, but this is getting a little ridiculous.
Two of the three big men on this team are not going to start the season, and I doubt either will be a 100% by December. That and Frenchie just left for New Jersey. So what the F are we going to do? If I was Melo, I would sit down and ask them why the hell I should sign this extension? We have no big men and you have shown no real desire to improve this team. I get the feeling that this entire season will revolve around waiting for some team to trade for Kenyon's expiring contract. The problem is, who will be available? The best case scenario Al Jefferson was just taken by the Jazz for nothing more than a couple of draft picks. Chris Paul could be available, but then the entire chemistry of this team would change. All we needed for the past 2 F-ing years was a true center and we haven't been able to get a sniff. It's pathetic!!!!!!! If Melo waits to be a free agent he can guarantee that he will be on a team that will spare at no expense to get his ass a ring. Can he say that in Denver right now??????? Unfortunately the answer to that question is NO!!!!!!!! Melo's friends have already shown us that it isn't all about the money. This scares me.
At this point you may be thinking, wait a second, we won 53 games last year and if it weren't for Karl's cancer we would have been right there battling the Lakers for a trip to the finals. Really??? Even before the tragic events surrounding George Karl, the Nuggets just weren't the same team as they were when they played in the WCF. Last year, the Nuggets routinely lost to inferior teams and gave lack luster effort on a regular basis. We were not going to challenge the Lakers. Hell, I don't think we could have beaten the Suns or Spurs if we faced them. All three of our Bigs saw 2-3 minute increases per game last year, and surprisingly two of the three players had major injuries by the end of the season. This was sooooo stupid on the part of George Karl, but without the proper personnel he felt he had little choice. I think he should have played Frenchie and Balkman more, but he couldn't trust them on the floor. It's no secret that he wanted another big. He said it repeatedly in the media, but it fell on deaf ears I feel.
So, I ask the question, is it time to push the panic button. For me, I would say you should have your finger over the button. If things continue the way they have been going, the awesome run of 2008-2009 will be all but a one year wonder. Even if we are able to keep Melo, with no improvements to our front line, we will return to our previous habit of getting blown out in the first round of the playoffs. So I guess time will tell if we are actually gonna get serious and start adding some bigs to this team, or if we are gonna fold and be a forgotten team in the western conference.

4. The communication flow chart in the Gold Book will be utilized.
5. The following diagram depicts the concept for a multiple bn air assault:
6. The following diagram depicts a concept for a bde PZ control:
1. Training module PZ control.
a. PZ recon (crawl): First we must ensure the conditions are set to execute PZ operations. The first step in setting the conditions is to do a PZ recon of the proposed PZ location. The purpose of the recon is to get all those involved in the PZ operation to come out with guidance and direction on their part of the PZ mission. All discussion and issues will focus on the following topics:
1. Unit/OIC for each PZ.
2. Location and set up of each PZ.
3. Marking procedures.
4. Bump Plan.
5. Rehearsals.
6. Communications.
* The participants include and are not limited to: Unit S3 Airs, all AVN unit LNOs involved, PZ OICs, and the main effort unit's S3 (for his objectives while on the PZ).
b. PZ Rehearsal (walk): Next comes the PZ Rehearsal, with the intent to have all the personnel involved in running the PZ's providing input and suggestions on the execution. Everything will be rehearsed, from the setting up of the PZ to the clearing of the PZ. Discussion will be centered on the following topics:
1. Actions for bump plan.
2. Communications.
3. PZ update brief.
4. Staging.
5. PZ hit times.
6. Aircraft arrival.
7. Hooker and CAT teams.
* All those involved in the PZ operation will be at the rehearsal.
c. PZ control of the AASLT (run): The PZ location (determined from the recon) will be staged and the unit postured according to the times put out on the AMB and on the execution checklist. All actions that were rehearsed (from the setup to the clearing of the PZ) will be executed. The goal is to have the unit get lifted into their respective LZ with all equipment and personnel necessary to accomplish the unit's mission. Total time depends on the size of the element and the number of aircraft used on the mission.
d. Land: As part of your PZ recon chose an area that will accommodate the equipment, personnel and aircraft needed to accomplish the mission. Also determine a location for the PZ Controls where you can best command and control.
e. Ammo: No ammo required.
f. Miscellaneous supplies: PZ Controls will need 15x orange/red chemlights, 3x VS-17 panels and approximately 15 feet of 550 cord.
g. Aircraft: The number of aircraft is mission dependent. However, we must allow enough space for the helicopters that will be used: 75 meters between UH-60s and 150 between CH-47s with both aircraft at least 30 meters (rotor blade) from the wood-line.

Re: Fire Hydrants/Snow
On this subject, I am very lucky. One of the area fire stations is just a little over 1000 yards from our house and they are staffed 24/7. Seriously folks, remember that these men do the jobs that a lot of us dont have the courage to do. I was a police officer and have no problem walking into a robbery in progress; but there is no way I would have enough cojones to walk into an inferno. Bless the hellfighters who save life and property and risk themselves every day.

Boehner Is Speaker, But 19 Democrats Vote Against Pelosi
Ohio's John Boehner has been elected speaker of the House for the 112th Congress.
That part was not a surprise.� Republicans will overwhelmingly control the chamber.
But what was noteworthy was that 19 Democrats voted for candidates other than Nancy Pelosi, the outgoing speaker and now the minority leader.
A dozen Democrats voted for Heath Shuler of North Carolina, a Blue Dog who announced a quixotic challenge to Pelosi.� That was probably more than expected.� Plus, two voted for John Lewis of Georgia.� Jim Costa voted for his California colleague, Dennis Cardoza — and vice versa.� One vote each for Ohio's Marcy Kaptur and Maryland's Steny Hoyer.� And one Democrat voted present.
The biggest surprise, at least to me?� Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona not voting for Pelosi (she picked Lewis).
The final vote was Boehner 241, Pelosi 173, others/present 19.

Pretty happy with this mascara, I'm always on the search for a good lengthening, thickening mascara that won't transfer on my long lashes and oily eyelids. I loved Max Factor 2000 calorie for a long time but can't get it in Canada anymore. I could get an American friend to get it for me, but it's a bit of a hassle.
So I tried this one for an alternative. Its pretty good. Lengthens, thickens, keeps the lashes relatively separated, good stuff. Doesn't transfer on me at all, only a teensy bit at the end of a looooong day. Me likey.

Definitely thickens and defines, making my short sticks for lashes look full and plush. It also lengthens a bit. No clumping, flaking or smudging as of yet. Love the huggy, densely fibered brush. Hate that this formula unravels the curl I dent onto my lashes. So I'm left with these awesome sexy full feathery defined fans, that stick out in an almost perfect right angle from my lids. I'm on the lookout for its waterproof twin to see if that can hold the curl. Until then, I'm using Great Lash Waterproof as a base to hold the curl.

Straight brush, defined, thick, good for day. Ok but not anything spectacular.
This mascara really does what it says it will - thickens the lashes. My lashes look so plush and full when I use it! I won't repurchase, however, because it is so smudgy. It takes forever to dry, too, so it's almost guaranteed that I'll make a mess and have to clean it up at least once after using this mascara before I can head out the door.
It's an okay mascara that does its job of thickening the lashes. I agree with another reviewer that it washes off completely, which is something I dont really see with other mascaras. But for me this mascara is nothing really special. I'm more into dramatic long lashes and this does not do it - of course, because this is a thickening mascara. For the same price I'd rather buy Maybelline Lash Discovery or even better my favourite - Lancome Defencils.
This is my new HG mascara. It doesn't smudge or flake at all. Although I wouldn't use it if I wanted dramatic results, it's exactly what I need for defining my already black, thick lashes. The one thing I need to mention is that it's the easiest mascara to wash off. My eyes rinse completely clean when I wear this; it's astounding! No other mascara I've tried has ever done that!

It's a very, very good basic mascara. Tons of volume and definition, It does tend to clump after a month or so, but then again it's cheap and worth repurchasing. I would compare it to Darphin mascara which costs around $30.
I love the color of it, and it does make my eyelashes thick and lengthens them a bit. Only thing I disslike about it is it seems to clump very easily..but it stays put all day! I would buy it again.

no, it doesn't thicken, but for the price it is awesome! it's not as time consuming or involved as loreal mascaras, plus it's really really cheap. it's great for everyday. it darkens and slightly seperates/thickens my lashes. basic, yes, but it really makes a difference with little effort.
its an okay masncara. It separates nicely and makes my lashes super dark. However, this does not thicken enough for me, actaully i did not see super thick lashes. I ony got a teeny bit of length and decent sepration. Where are the super thick lashes? I ask.. This is good as a basic mascara. But i only paid 3.99CAD so no loss here. As of late, I have not found anything else better than l'oreal mascaras. from cover girl, i find that i can better results with volume exact instead.
