Bart's Big Toe Woes Could Sideline Him SundayPosted by on October 25, 2012 – 5:31 pm
The season began with a story of Bart Scott's rebirth — lost weight, increased speed and strength — but it has developed into a tale of toe woe for the 11th-year linebacker.
"It's tough. It's like losing a thumb on your hand. Everything you do comes off your big toe," said Scott, who said he injured the painful digit on the second defensive play of Game 3 at Miami and isn't sure of his availability for Sunday's home rematch against the Dolphins.
Scott, who spoke to reporters after today's practice at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, said the toe has been "beat up" since his college days at Southern Illinois. He described this latest episode as basically "turf toe, ligament damage, capsule strains and things like that. You're talking about running on a toe that's not all the way in the socket and it's loose and swollen and you're wearing an extra large shoe.
"I've always prided myself on being able to have a high pain tolerance and to be able to play through things. I just want to show my teammates that I'm willing to bite down and continue to play and do what I can to help us win," he said in the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center locker room following today's practice. "If we have to shut it down, we shut it down. If not, then we'll be ready to go."
Shutting it down for a game is not something Scott has done in a long time. Since 2004 with the Ravens, he has played in 119 consecutive regular-season games, the fifth-longest streak among active NFL linebackers and the eighth-longest among all active defensive players. Throw in 10 playoff games and the streak reaches 129 consecutive games. For the Jets, those streaks are 55 straight regular-season games played and 61 straight including playoffs.
Then as far as starts go, he's started 111 of the last 113 regular-season games, and 121 of the last 123 including playoffs, and with the Jets it's 53 starts in 55 games, 59 in 61 including playoffs.
The only start he didn't make last season was Game 5 at New England, when the Jets opened with seven defensive backs on the field against Tom Brady and company. Then on Sunday he missed another start at Foxboro and played in what was likely an eight-season low of nine plays on defense and 16 total.
"Whatever is best for the team. I don't care about a streak," Scott said about the possibility of missing this start. "I care about helping my team win and trying to win a championship. That's always been my primary goal, and that's why I came here. If helping the team best is for me to be on the sideline and help these young linebackers see what's going on and help slow the game down for them, then I'll do that. If it's biting down so we can get to the bye at 3-1 in our division, then that's what I'll do."
The one young linebacker most impacted by Scott's injury is third-round rookie Demario Davis, who was in for the most plays of his young career and the most among the Jets on Sunday, 98 total and 69 plays on defense.
Despite the difficulties, Scott did make one contribution vs. the Patriots, tackling RB Stevan Ridley for a yard loss on the Pats' third-quarter touchdown drive. He's tied for the Jets lead at 4.0 tackles for loss this season, and he leads the Jets in TFLs from 2009 to present with 25.5.
Scott's being benched, as some reports had it today, doesn't quite capture the situation, as head coach Rex Ryan explained at his news conference today.
"New England did a lot of stuff where they put him in space with a lot of empty sets, four and five receivers," Ryan said. "Normally I like to keep Bart out there. But if he can't change directions in space as well as he normally can, we've got to do what's best for our football team. Is he going to be 100 percent this week? No. Hopefully when that bye comes, we'll rest him that whole time and he'll have two weeks to get ready for Seattle. Hopefully that will really help him."
The Rest of the Injury Picture
Aside from Scott, the Jets' health continued to slowly improve. DT Kenrick Ellis (knee), S LaRon Landry (heel) and RBs Joe McKnight (ankle) and Bilal Powell (shoulder) didn't practice. But TE Jeff Cumberland (wrist), C Nick Mangold (ankle) and S Eric Smith (knee) all got some limited work in team drills and DT Sione Po'uha continued as a limited participant. "Sione moved around and looked pretty good," Ryan said of Big Bo's Wednesday practice. "His strength numbers are up. I've been encouraged by that."
Among the Jets' full-go guys, WR Clyde Gates (shoulder),who's missed two games, "looks like he's coming around," according to the coach.
Miami's report remained short and static. DT Randy Starks, who was excused from Wednesday's workout for non-football reasons, returned today and was taken off the list.

I wish no player an injury BUT decreased playing time for Scott is a plus for the Jets. So tired of watching him chase offensive players (Unsuccessfully). Except for those FEW dramatic run stops he isn't a top LB.

A few people in previous posts mentioned the Dolphins run defense, do not mistake it for NEs run defense. Actually, this is not a very favorable matchup for the Jets in that Miami can run the ball very well AND stop the run just as well. I am afraid this game is going to come down to QB play, where we have a 4 year vet going up against a rookie starting his 7th game. Should be advantage Jets, right???

One good thing about injury's is you get to see how deep your team really is. Davis I thought played really well last week. He adds so much speed to the D it changes how teams approach 3rd down against the Jets. Instead of getting burned on 3rd down by a screen pass, now with speedy LB's it helps take away those options.

Are we going to make excuses now to keep Scott around,like a big toe,last year it was he wasn't in shape,this year toe issues,when does management admit he can't play anymore.

How sad is it to be a Jet fan and to look at the latest QB rankings and see your QB once again near the bottom of the barrel, rated below a couple of rookies starting no more then 6 pro games? (Weeden, Tannyhill) are you kidding me? lower then Josh Freeman and Ryan (INT) Fitzpatrick? Ahead of only 3 other starters Blaine (really bad) Gabbert, Brady (even worse) Quinn and John (WHO) Skelton Sad indeed! And once again, don't shoot the messenger! I didn't make this stuff up. Go to NFL.com, see for yourself.

I'm telling you, the more NY Jets related stories you read on selected sports sites around the web, the sadder it becomes. Tim Tebow, through no fault of his own, $2.1 mil salary- 22 attempts, less then 3.5 yards per carry. Couldn't Shonn Greene accomplish that? Couldn't Shonn Greene have accomplished that with out the additional $2.1 mil, salary? without relinquishing a #4 and a #6 in the 2012 draft? Again, don't blame Tebow, blame the planning! Blame the WAY that he is being used! Blame the FO! Blame the coaching staff!. And one more time, please, don't shoot the messenger.

Here's a positive post, albeit one that proves what so many of us have been saying about Rex knowing nothing about today's O: "Despite last week's loss against the Patriots, Mark Sanchez completed a career-high 9 passes on 12 attempts that traveled at least 15 yards in the air. He had never before completed six in a single game. Emerging talent Jeremy Kerley is one of 9 receivers with at least 10 receptions that far downfield and has done so on fewer targets than anyone in the NFL. On the deep ball, the completion percentage of 76.9 between MS and JK ranks 2nd among 52 duos with at least 10 attempts. They trail only Peyton Manning to Demaryius Thomas." Kerley, S Hill, and somebody else young will enable us to deal Holmes no sweat.

I don't care how long they chalk it up to Scott's toe as long as Davis plays. All of our draft choices should be playing as much as possible so we can find out what they've got this yr instead of us doing the usual Jet thing, made worse under Rex, of still being afraid to put them on the field in their 3rd yrs. 8-8 and a WC playoff loss doesn't interest me at all but building the team thru the draft does. The next big steps are unloading either Sanchez or Tebow or more likely both in the off-season, giving McElroy a chance to compete with a high-drafted QB like with Wilson and Flynn on SEA, and getting our heads screwed on straight at the position at last. Throw in trades of Revis and Holmes for high picks and we'll have a future.

No wonder Scott couldn't keep up with the TE and receivers in coverage, and now…..Demario Davis – CANT WAIT !

Hope they can neutralize Starks this week he has become a major headache for the Jets. Its davis time wish bart well and hope he gets better soon but its clear Davis adds much needed speed to that front seven.
This boils my blood sorry i can't let it go. I have said for years they should've never traded J. Abraham [sorry Mangold] they should've kept Mawae then replaced him with Goodwin. They would've been just fine. I read this morning that Big Abe has 6 sacks and 2 FF's so far this year. Well the Jets as a team have only 10 sacks and not having a pass rusher kept them from getting to the SB in 09 and 10. If only they had kept him. Really curious what other feel about Abe.
By Mike Jet Vet on Oct 26, 2012 | Reply
OK, this proves Scott should, for the good of team, loyalty from Rex and company step down and retire, Off topic, needs to be said.. What some Sanchez supporters need to realize . his inconstancy and inordinate amounts of turnovers at the worst possible time puts tremendous amounts of pressure on all his teammates they blame. Offensive and Defensive lines for one. O-line gives him time. enough to make any play, defense plays well enough to win 90%.. yes receivers need to step it up and Greene has played better. I know for sure if I were a Jet player at constantly watched Sanchez Fumble away our hard work week in and week out I would have a long talk in the locker room, With a sock and 10 bars of soap

Love the media praying more than Tebow for a QB contraversy lately. Give it up already!!!
By IRA on Oct 26, 2012 | Reply
uncle joe, You are dead on. the media has been just waiting like sharks to start writing about a QB change. Please Sanchez played well last week. Its not his fault the coach took the ball out of his hand after they recovered the fumble and then put him in a predictable 3rd down play. Surprised nobody wrote Kerley slipped because of Sanchez too.
Hope he has a great game and the Jets win going home but i just don't see it. This will come down to the wire with Folk kicking the game winner at the end 17-16 Jets!

"Mixing and matching with makeshift personnel, the Jets have stayed admirably competitive in the wake of Santonio Holmes and Darrelle Revis' year-ending injuries. They lost to the Texans and Patriots by a reasonable nine points combined, in between plastering the Colts 35-9. The Jets' offense is moving the ball well" As per Rotoworld.com alot of guys dont want to hear it but many teams after losing there best 2 players would have folded up shop & quit. I think with Keller & Hill now back we actually have some decent guys to throw the ball to. It is now time for the Jets to make there move IT IS NOW OR NEVER!

Glad to see D. Davis getting the opportunity to play here. I think he's more the style LB we need in today's game. I know our QB hasn't been very consistent, but I saw an interesting stat this morning of which I wasn't aware. Who is tied for the league lead in INTs this year with 10? Andy Dalton. After so much praise last year, I wonder why he's not getting criticized like Mark Sanchez has been? Boy, it's tough to play in New York, isn't it?

Jetfantom,nice stats with Sanchez and Kerley,see sanchez all along could throw down the field,only speed was needed,Holmes,Plastico and Stone Mason couldn't give us that,but I am glad you have thrown Holmes under the bus too,with Clowney,Plastico,Mason and let's not forget the infamous,Danny Woodhead.I am glad Ducasse is playing better because with his size,there wouldn't be anymore room under the bus,let alone room for the luggage.

Headline is great ! Given Bart's history of inserting "foot in mouth" Nice job Randy! It's one down (Scott) two to go (Pace,Thomas) and Rex is forced to roll out some younger (faster) LB's. Been hearing for years how Jet LB's "set the edge" that's nice… so do construction barrels :D What this D is DYING for is guys that penetrate and blow-up plays in the backfield on their way to the QB. I've read a few blogs recently suggesting that Sanchez is on the verge of turning a corner in development – hope they're right. I don't place the blame for NE on Sanchez – he put the team in the lead with 1:37 to go in Fboro – Hill makes that catch, Jets win. Rex's D scheme was conservative (scared) giving Brady more than enough time in the pocket. cont>

It looked like Trufant blanketed Welker most of the game then for no apparent reason on that last drive, Allen is over there? I don't get that ? Watching Chicago's D-line Monday impose it's will on the Lions in the 4th quarter was amazing. They deploy specific front 7 players in crunch-time to capitalize on mismatches they've observed over the coarse of the game – Detroit had NO answer for it. Similar to how Pats sent their "jet Killer" Ninkovich in overtime to close out the game. Wish Rex knew how to do that !

Actually Mike Jet Vet, The Jet D has giving up 10 4th quarter leads in the last 23 games that we have gone on to lose. So there is plenty of blame to go around.

MS did not look good the last time he faced Miami. Fortunately for him, their rookie QB played worse, Reggie Bush got hurt and the Jets won. All the talk about this game being a must win takes us back to past years where missed opportunites early in the season makes every game a must win. That's what makes the Pats give-away game so painful. It was like losing two games. This team is not built or coached to dominate on either side of the ball. So every team left on the schedule is going to be a tough out. If we just want instant satisfaction this year, maybe a wild card is attainable. If we want to see change that will give us a team to be proud of, I'm prepared for the worst. Watching a .500 team every year is just not fun.

OK, just checking out the QB stats over on ESPN.com. Feast your eyes on these stats for MS.. avg YPC #24, Yards Per Game, #26, QB rating, #30 (slightly ahead of two rookies) and the all important completion percentage #32 (dead last) how can the few apologists that remain continue to debate his effectiveness? As I almost always have to conclude my post, "please, don't shoot the messenger."

GaryC and scjoe, you hit on two classic Jet themes: (1) Making excuses for players that we've been over-praising forever who are finally worth almost nothing, and (2) Making excuses for hyped young players who aren't panning out. There's absolutely no pt playing Scott for the rest of this yr, in fact if we could it would be a great time to trade him for a draft pick to some team that's really in it and needs a solid backup LB. As for Sanchez, I see this week that a few sportswriters are actually calling for the start of the McElroy Era. Like with whatever candidate you want to win on 11/6, the key is turnout so if enough Jet fans actually start calling for Mc to get a shot it could happen. I give Sanchez the rest of this yr and that's it.

You guys are ripping Reno to death but the last time I check he is entilited to his opinon as well right? Maybe he shouldnt have ripped into Tom 64 & stated that he doesnt feel Sanchez & Keller are not as bad as you guys make them out to be. But the point is this you rip to shreads anyone who does not agree with you & you are all for the most part negative. Many a Jet fan has come to this site & have either not come back because of all the negativity or because they did not agree with the group (Tom 64, SCfromNY, JetBlue, SCjoe, Kleckofan, Mike Jet Vet & JOE CAPS) & you ganged up on them & ripped them to shreads.

Guys are so happy that Scott is getting benched & while I think his play has slipped since his Raven days. I think Calvin Pace & Bryan Thomas both should be benched before Scott. Both Pace & Thomas can not rush the passer & it is painful to watch them in pass coverage. Also the 1 thing that they used to do good stopping the run they are not doing well this year. I base this off of thru 7 games 5 backs have run for over 100 yards vs us. In Rex's first few years hardly anyone cracked 100 yards vs us & now everyone does.

This is what fuels my negativity, All serious Jet Fans should read Jason Cole's article on yahoo, Patriots are considering hiring E-Mangini even though he dropped the dime on them.. to shore up their back end ,reason the lowly Jets having almost beat them has opened Little Bills eyes, and feels they need to do something when a team like the Jets can give them such a scare, (Meaning Sanchez) So lets add this to the barrage of insults so far this week like our 2 QB are in the lowest rated , overrated team Coaches and players. I'm getting so tired of being the brunt of Jokes in the NFL listening to all these so call sports experts,. We need a Jerry Jones George Steinbrenna , Marra's some one with pride and dignity to run this team

Spicer, didn't quite need the "Are you for real" comment, but that's OK, I forgive you. Now, let me ask you this, and answer it honestly. How do you think Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and even Eli would do throwing the rock to the likes of Hill, Kerley, Keller, and even Schliens? Do you think that their stats, under the exact same set of circumstances, would even remotely resemble what Mark Sanchez's is right now. Just FYI, I listed the latest NFL QB stats above. Take a close look, think about it for a while, then give me an answer.

I loved Abraham. Incredible player, but I can't fault the deal because how often he was injured. Mangold may not not be the impact player the Abraham can be but we have gotten a lot out of him. They have had opportunities to draft rushers, but unless couples works out, they have swung and missed a few times.
You did not answer my post about what I thought the holes are.
I say it's running back, line backer and QB.

I have said before I am not a Holmes hater BUT a #1 WR adveraging 44 catches in 3 years is NOT a #1 WR. There is no redemption in losing close. The Giants were 9-7 last and won the SB. Does anyone remember how many points they won or lost by? Winning is what matters. Close means NOTHING! OK Spicer I feel that I don't even complain about you much. I'm sorry you are still living in 2009 and 2010 but in the NFL we start a new season every Sept. and end with a SB in Feb. Are you still excited over the 1969 SB? I also never said our WR are great.I said that with Sanchez throwing we will never know what we have. When facts do not support your ideas you get annoyed that people do not agree with you. I think a Jet fan would have a thicker skin.

Spicer, like I said on the story before this, no one seems to object to the most savage battling if it's over the other guy's opinions about football but people who just post stupid personal insults about people they've never met are just wasting space. If I've discouraged anyone like that from posting, like a couple of those demented Tebow groupies in the days after the TT pickup, I'm damn proud of it. GaryC and scjoe, I'm with you both on Sanchez today, he can definitely throw long with the right guys but he's gotta get that accuracy problem fixed by the end of this yr if I'm gonna just give him the starting job next yr. If he can't he deserves to go into camp next summer as just one of several QB candidates or be traded before camp.

Last thing Spicer. I used to breed and show dogs. Losers always fixated on their dogs good points ignoring the fact that in many cases they were severely lacking in what was needed to win. Do not assume this is a post to compare Sanchez to a dog. It is not BUT there are many fine dogs that can not get the job done and win. We retire or sell them as pets.

MJV – I saw that story! Always thought Mangini went up the coaching ladder too fast – He would have been a decent D coach. Remember nobody thought Bill was a "genius" in Cleveland, he got experience, learned from his mistakes, then put it all together in NE. Same story with Rex I'm afraid, the Ravens didn't think he was head coach material, maybe they were right – He's making all his mistakes with the Jets – Watch Ryan, 5 years from now coaching the Raiders taking em to the SB – wouldn't that be be ironic ?

OK so Bart's finally going to be shining the bench with his butt due to big toe trouble. I just had this crazy thought that Mark could blow a gasket Sunday due to his "broken heart' over the Eva Longoria split. Reports are that he's crushed by the breakup ? Wonder if he has the inner strength and character to use this episode as a motivator – take out his pain and frustration on the Dogfish Sunday :D Suddenly this game has all kinds of subtle undertones – don't you think?

Well, that said, I can name at least 25 teams with better QBs then the NY Jets have. So tell me, what is the point to all of that? We have what we have. I don't see anything changing anytime soon. Maybe the start of the 2013 season though.

You talk about me, 64, SCfromNY, JetBlue and Joe caps as being negative. Well, that is hypocrisy in it's purest form. You have been just as negative, if not more then any of us.

I look forward to see a game without Scott in there ,the writting is on the wall for next year, I think anyway. I like to see Scott come off the bench whe he comes back.Put the bal in Sanchez"s hands run a little less this week, put Tim in to let Sanchez get his head together evey now and then. Seems he is streaky, then gets ahead of himself, then looses it. Sparano played it right for a game and a half so far. And enough of the Tebow option, if they dont want him to throw at all, give the kid a few reps. But let Mark sit a play before the meltdown, that he historically has a tendancy for.

Spicer: Borrowing a phrase made famous by Ronald Reagan, all I can say is "There you go again".
Reno didn't just give an opinion, he got personal and nasty. You know that we always disagree on the talent & skill level of MS, but it's not personal.
Don't mistake honest evaluations and a hard driven passion for this team for what you perceive to be negativity. I wish this team would show up each week and dominate. I wish MS would play like Dan Marino . I really do. But reality just keeps getting in the way.

JetBlue, over the past few days, with spicer's attacks on almost everyone that disagrees with his assessment of Mark Sanchez, it is obvious to see that for some strange reason he does take it personal, and that is sad.

The approval for Scott taking splinters is about the highest across the board on any decision that I can recall seeing on this site for a long time…

IRA, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you dont know but I believe they got ride od Abe & Vilma because they were bad fits for the 3-4 defence Mangini installed.
That being said I have often wondered why Abe could not have been converted to O.L.B? The Colts this year did that with Mathis & Freeny. Many others like Suggs in Baltimore have made the same switch with great results.I guess we will never know?S.C.Joe, how many times are you gonna bang your head into the wall with Spicer? With Keller being back to 100% & Keerley's emergence I dont think the "no reciever" excuse is a valid one anymore. I do think Hill needs to step it up but he's not the worst starting W.R.out there.

SPICER, you know I have supported Mark in the past(if you dont recall please go back & re read my posts)but i cant agree with you on your beef with the two S.C boys,JOE,64 &GARY C. Reno was out of line & I also admoinshed him! You are correct that anyone can post here & I encourage all to do so. But for him to come here and go after 64 like that was out of line.I could care less if somone like that doesn't come back.That is not why I come here.Hey, I go back & forth with those guys all the time because those guys challange us to think things through.None of this is personal.What Reno did was a personal attack and he got spanked and sent to his room!

SCJoe, Last year I spoke about the O line & the OC. This year you have not heard a peep out of me about those 2. I have never said anything negative about the corners we have Revis & Cromartie. Who would say anything negative about them? The WR'S, the RB & the LB'S yes I have. As far as Mark I have said many MANY negative things about him. As a matter of fact I said that Drew Brees was a free agent & we should sign him. I also said do anything possible to sign Peyton I guess you just dont remember.
By Tom Spicer on Oct 27, 2012 | Reply
SCJoe, "How do you think Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and even Eli would do throwing the rock to the likes of Hill, Kerley, Keller, and even Schliens?" If that was what Mark was throwing to then maybe I would know but he wasnt Keller missed 5 games & Hill missed 3. He was throwing to Kerley, Clyde Gates & Schielens. All of the above QBS would be SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE if there starting WRS were practice squad fodder Cylde Gates & Chaz Schelines. That is my answer!

Been saying this for over a year now =THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON REX, MIKE T AND SANCHEZ .SOONER OR LATER THEIR ALL GONE BECAUSE NONE OF THEM WIN ENOUGH .You are what your record says you are AT, NEAR ,OR BELOW 500 (4 YEARS IN )WITH NO TITLES OF ANY KIND AINT GOING TO CUT IT
By scjoe on Oct 27, 2012 | Reply
So Spicer, what am I missing here? You slammed the "gang" here about being negative, and you just admitted above that you were also critical and negative with the RBs and the WRs (which I already knew before the admission) but in a post just this past week you also slammed the OC, stating that he is "new" but he is not "any good" C'mon man!!! Where are you coming from? You show me another guy on this site (besides Ira) who is not critical of this franchise and I will show you a 3 dollar bill. And please, don't include yourself, you are just as guilty as any member of the "gang" you referred to.

ps ADD Sanchez(RANKED 30 TH IN THE NFL )and the fact that WE HAVE NOT BEAT A TEAM WITH A WINNING RECORD IN TWO YEARS )TO MY ABOVE POST. Prediction by 2014 MIKE T will be out of ther NFL. Rex will be a DCORD somewhere and SANCHEZ (if hes lucky )MIGHT BE A BACK UP .Only the NY Jets would WASTE draft picks on Sanchez who after 4 FULL SEASONS IS EASILY SURPASSED BY EVERY ROOKIE QB IN THE NFL .SAME OLD JETS

SC Joe FANTASTIC POSTS (as usual )Joe 25 TEAMS with a better QB than Sanchez =YOUR BEING KIND LOL .Its more like 30 plus because I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY A COLLEGE TEAMS HAVE BETTER QBS THAN SANCHEZ

Spicer, I won't make any outsized claims for Hill, Gates, and Schilens at this pt, though anyone should be able to see — and should've been able to see last yr — that Kerley's gonna be a star. One of the first things I said about him is that he fights for YAC like a vet, now out-of-town sportswriters say that. But I have to disagree with you about those particular QBs and how they'd do with our WRs. I've seen even lesser QBs like Rivers and Palmer turn iffy WRs into quality guys, and you can certainly argue that Eli had a lot to do with Cruz and Manningham's progress. As for Brady, Manning, Rodgers, and Brees, forget it, they've proven they can get the ball to almost anyone in a big way. Look at Thomas pre-Manning and now, for example.


text: Funky soul from Witchita, Kansas – an unlikely locale, but home to some really great music – courtesy of the Smart brothers, and their ultra-hip club! This wonderful entry in the Eccentric Soul series from Numero really brings that lost scene to life – telling the tale of the brothers, their club, and some of the wickedly funky artists that graced their stage – a host of obscure groups, singers, and instrumentalists who really made Kansas cook, back in the day! The groove here is plenty darn hard – as raw as some of the best funky 45s you might find from points north, warmed up with occasional southern soul elements – and always produced with rough-and-ready vibe that gets to the heart of the grit right away.

Those of you who suffer from acrophobia may want to proceed with caution while reading the rest of this blog post. That's because the breathtaking images of the world's deserts you're about to see have been taken by last night's IRIS Nights lecturer, photographer George Steinmetz, from high up in the sky...
...on board his own motorized para-glider!
As George explained to the audience, for him to really understand the desert, he needed to get high above the ground. His para-glider is lightest powered aircraft in the world.
His method of photography is certainly not all that safe. He shared a photo of himself that showed injuries he'd received when his glider once crashed during take-off in China. Several busted teeth and 17 stitches didn't stop him from getting back into the pilot's seat!
George told the audience that he has always been a very curious man. The camera is his excuse to explore the world and share his knowledge with the rest of the world.
Don't just think that the deserts are located in hot climates. George gave us all a geography lesson by reminding us that Antarctica, which he has beautifully documented with his own camera, is the largest and driest desert on the planet!
Stropping by to hear George's lecture was his friend Art Streiber, a very talented photographer in his own right.
But George's most important visitor last night was his own mother who watched him with great pride throughout the entire lecture.
Congrats on a great talk, George! Fly safely!

The day before yesterday … at the Niedern-Baum-Haus, which was altogether beautifully decorated, a splendid jubilee banquet was prepared, to which were invited their magnificences the Burgomasters and the Gentlemen of the Council concerned with the Admiralty and nautical matters, as well as the principal Elders of the City, Councillors and Merchants, together with its Sea Captains, 37 in number, who were entertained most lavishly. At this feast there was sung a very admirable Serenade … in the beautiful composition of Herr Telemann … ships lying offshore did not fail to add to the festivities, some by the firing of cannon, and all by flying pennants and flags …
A few days later the Stats u. Gelehrte Zeitung reported that Telemann had also composed a suite of instrumental pieces, 'uncommonly well-suited to the occasion', going on to list the ten movements of the Wassermusik Suite and praising their effectiveness and suitability for the occasion. Telemann's suite was performed during the banquet as a prelude to the Schöne Composition of the Admiralty Music.
In the ten varied movements Telemann pictured the sea in all its moods and characterized figures from the world of ancient mythology who would have been familiar to any educated seafarer. At the conclusion he also brought matters firmly up to date with more earthly and topical subjects. After an extended two-part Ouverture, which splendidly depicts various faces of the sea in all its moods, we are presented with a series of tableaux. First comes Thetis, mother of Achilles and sea goddess, who is given two movements: she is portrayed gently sleeping in a Sarabande in which two recorders glide over a gentle string accompaniment; and then she is presented, wide awake, in a lively Bourrée. Once again recorders are the predominant colour, this time in a vigorous trio with two bassoons. Neptune, lord of the seas and oceans, is in love, and thus in contemplative mood in his gentle Loure, the orchestral sound coloured by two flutes. The Naiads, water nymphs, appear in a light-hearted Gavotte, with hints that their playfulness could also turn to mischievousness; and Triton, Neptune's son and also a sea god, though of lesser importance, is pictured in jaunty form in a Harlequinade. In between three repetitions of the main stomping theme come two short episodes where the tune is taken by the bass instruments, with a guitar-like, pizzicato accompaniment provided by the upper strings. With Aeolus, lord of the winds, Telemann is on magnificently blustrous form, violently portraying a stormy ocean. Pleasant Zephir, gentle god of the west wind, redresses the balance, with his agreeable nature portrayed by two high, melodious recorders.
The last two movements bring us back to the Hamburg of real life. The ebb and flow of the tide, portrayed in a Gigue, was important not only to Hamburg's harbour but also for a more mundane purpose: its rise and fall was the principal device for cleaning out the city's sewers and drainage canals! The final word goes to the sailors, enjoying a good evening's entertainment in the quayside taverns. They dance a stomping Canarie before, presumably, staggering off into the night or to the local whorehouses—and maybe, if they are unlucky, finding themselves up in front of the Admiralty authorities on a charge the next morning!

With all of her prior backstage issues, there are those that believe that Rosa Mendes might have been a good candidate to generate interest in Total Divas, but it appears that WWE did not consider that possibility very seriously at all. Officials opted to go with Summer Rae as the new cast member.
Rosa Mendes posted a picture on Twitter of herself and Alicia Fox wearing cheerleader outfits while backstage at a WWE event.
The seven girls of Total Divas were able to beat the other WWE divas in a traditional Survivor Series match. Natalya and Nikki Bella were the last two standing in the ring at the end.
Prior to dropping out of college to pursue a career in modeling, Rosa Mendes studied business at the University of British Columbia.
There are many within WWE that believe that Rosa Mendes might have fabricated the domestic abuse story involving she and then boyfriend Jackson Andrews, a former developmental wrestler for the company. Many started doubting her because of her antics on the road.

Works great but a little akward
It works great and I like it, but had to give it a 4 because it's akward to use. the controls are in the back. Also I can't tell any difference between the pulse and the chop features. But it's the exact right size I need and the bowl holds as much as I need with no leakage. I'm a very casual cook, but I use it for chopping when making chinese food and soups. It's also very helpful when I have too many onions and green peppers left over - I chop them all up and freeze them in a zip bag, then just take out a handful of frozen whenever I need. It's a very attractive little chopper. I like it and will keep it. I have a big brand new food processor that is on the shelf in my clothes closet which I never use because it's just way too big for me and for my casual cooking. But I will get loads of use out of this little chopper.I recommend this product.
Perfect Size!
I held off from getting a food processor because they take up so much space. I loved this smaller one at first sight, but was afraid it would be too small. Definitely not! I fit an entire can of chickpeas and almost two cups of packed basil in the bowl. I like how a single piece of garlic can be chopped without getting pushed to the side like in a bigger processor. I always wanted a Magic Bullet, but read mixed reviews about them breaking, so this was a good alternative. I have a Kitchenaid mixer and blender, and have never had issues with either.I recommend this product.
When you can make salsa, rinse, then make guacamole in the same appliance~that's all it takes to become a super-star in our home!
This chopper is larger than my last model and works much better. It is perfect for small batches.
To clean, simply wipe down the base and toss the rest into the dishwasher! Easy clean-up is a huge plus. I am more likely to use an appliance if it doesn't require a lot of work on my part to do so.I recommend this product.

Nebraska must stew for two weeks in the wake of another abysmal road performance. The Huskers gave up the fourth-most points in program history and most ever in the Bo Pelini era in Saturday's 63-38 loss at Ohio State, which dropped them out of the top 25.
Last week, NU was ranked 21st in The Associated Press media poll and 20th in the USA Today coaches poll.
This came a month after Nebraska surrendered the second-most yards in a loss at UCLA and a week after Pelini, in the glow of a come-from-behind win over Wisconsin, boasted "I haven't forgotten how to coach defense and how to stop the run."
The Huskers (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) will have to live with the fallout from this one until they play at Northwestern on October 20th. Receiver Kenny Bell says the next two weeks "are going to be brutal."
Iowa State (4-1) entered the USA Today poll at number 25 after upsetting TCU on Saturday.
South Carolina, Florida and West Virginia moved into the top five of the AP poll after a Saturday in which nine Top 25 teams lost. No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon hold their spots at the top of the rankings. Alabama is a unanimous No. 1 again.
No. 3 South Carolina, off a 35-7 victory against Georgia, moved up three spots. No. 4 Florida jumped six after beating LSU 14-6. No. 5 West Virginia moved up three with a 48-45 victory at Texas.
No. 6 Kansas State, No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 8 Ohio State also moved up. LSU dropped to No. 9 and unbeaten Oregon State is No. 10.
The last time nine ranked teams lost in the same week was the weekend of October 18, 2008.

This summer, the Membership and Leadership Development (MLD) program is providing training to local and state League leaders from nine states that are entering the program for the first time ever. After a wonderful financial out-pouring of support for the MLD program at the LWVUS Convention in June 2012, Cheryl, Carol, Kelly, and I (the League trainers for the MLD program) have been met with enthusiasm for the program and for the future of the League.
Date: July 12 and July 19, 2012Location: Port Ludlow Beach Club, Port Ludlow, WashingtonEvent: Candidate ForumsPartners: Jefferson County/Port Townsend Leader and Jefferson County American Association of University WomenThe League of Women Voters of Jefferson County, Washington, held two judicial candidate forums in Port Ludlow on July 12 and 19. Both events were moderated by Fred Obee of the Jefferson County/Port Townsend Leader. The July 12 forum, attended by 40 people, featured six of the nine statewide Supreme Court candidates, as well as one candidate representative. The candidates described their life experiences and qualifications for the bench, and responded to a recent Jefferson County Bar Association poll that evaluated them across five professional categories. Justice Stephen Gonzalez, whose opponent, Bruce Danielson, has not campaigned or appeared in public, weighed in on the value of judicial diversity on the state Supreme Court and its impact on elections. Candidates also fielded questions from the audience on healthcare, judicial activism, and their views on prosecuting attorneys versus defense lawyers.The July 19 forum, attended by 80 people, featured all six Court of Appeals (Division 2) candidates and all three candidates for the Superior Court of Jefferson County. In addition to sharing their backgrounds, candidates addressed the importance of judicial independence and diversity, and responded to the same recent Jefferson County Bar Association poll that evaluated them along five categories. The candidates also evaluated the process by which court commissioners can hear cases and then advocate for those cases in front of the Supreme Court, agreeing that reform is needed to increase the perception of fairness.The events were covered in the Port Townsend and Jefferson County Leader, as well as in The Peninsula Daily News and on KPTZ, the local FM radio station, and video recordings of the events were shown on the local public-access cable channel.
On May 30, Zaida and I traveled to the rolling hills of the Palouse region in eastern Washington state for the 2012 Council of Leaders of the League of Women Voters of Washington. As hosts of Council, the League of Pullman pulled together both a panel discussion and a banquet with speakers that discussed the state of judicial diversity and independence in Washington.

Written by County Comptroller Howard S. Weitzman Thursday, 04 June 2009 16:02
Healthcare issues have always been at the forefront of my policy initiatives, both as County Comptroller and during the 35 years spent in the healthcare field. Throughout my two terms, I have been a squeaky wheel when it comes to finding ways to trim the escalating costs of Nassau County's health benefits. Several years ago I persuaded the County Legislature to eliminate the practice of offering two family health benefit policies to one family, to lengthen the number of years of employment required to vest lifetime retiree health benefits and to increase the health benefit buy back amount to encourage employees with other coverage options to drop County health benefits.
Last year County Executive Tom Suozzi and I released a report showing that the New York State Health Insurance Program (NYSHIP) was over-collecting premiums from local governments and had accumulated an excessive $540 million on top of statutory reserves. The State agreed and applied some of the excessive premium to keep the 2009 rate increase to an average 1 percent, instead of the 7 percent originally forecasted by NYSHIP. This effort saved Nassau County taxpayers approximately $11 million in health insurance premiums for 2009 and approximately $116 million for local schools and governments. I will also be working to recoup a portion of the excess NYSHIP premiums charged in prior years – an amount equal to $540 million statewide and $21 million for Nassau County, that could be made as a one month premium holiday for all NYSHIP participants. The vast majority of Nassau's schools and local governments also participate in NYSHIP.
Recently I received an appointment to the New York State Health Insurance Program Participating Agency Advisory Council (PAAC). This is good news for taxpayers because now I will have the ear of the people who make the policies. Nassau County is the largest local government participating agency in NYSHIP and prior to my appointment, no one from Nassau County had served on the board! The Council also includes representatives from other participating agencies, such as local school districts. Nassau County Director of Risk Management John Brooks was also named to the PAAC.
As a member of this council I will continue my call (and the use of my squeaky wheel) for an outside review of NYSHIP because I believe there are many more opportunities for savings and I look forward to serving Nassau County.

Half of all Americans age 50 and older, and two-thirds of women age 60 and older, suffer from varicose veins. The problem is far more than cosmetic. The pain, swelling and leg fatigue can discourage an active lifestyle, and severe varicose veins can even cause chronic infections and skin ulcerations.
Varicose veins generally occur when the valves fail in the primary leg vein, which is called the greater saphenous. Those valves are supposed to push blood back up toward the heart, but when they cannot do the job anymore, the blood pools up in the veins, giving them that blue hue sufferers know so well and causing legs to feel sore and heavy.
Until recently, the only surgical treatment was stripping out the saphenous vein, a procedure that requires a general anesthetic and weeks of recovery. Now, there is a minimally-invasive procedure that can address the problem in minutes in the doctor's office, not in the hospital.
The new procedure utilizes catheter technology, the same kind that is used for heart interventions. Under a local anesthetic, a doctor threads a catheter, about the thickness of a spaghetti noodle, into the vein to heat it from within and seal it off, rather than removing it. The doctor pulls the device through the vein, using either radiofrequency (RF) energy or a laser to heat the vein walls and cause them to collapse inward on themselves. Once the vein is sealed, the body will automatically re-route blood flow through healthier vessels to restore normal circulation. The sealed vein is eventually absorbed by the body.
This new, minimally invasive alternative to vein stripping is an in-office procedure, and patients can return to normal activities within about a day. Since this procedure is considered a medical necessity rather than cosmetic surgery, it is covered by Medicare and most insurers.
The board-certified surgeons of Carrollton Surgical Group now offer this advanced treatment for the unsightly problem of varicose veins. The treatment is:
