How Knicks proved sports has a place
As I emerged from the tunnel and stepped onto the court before the New York Knicks' 104-84 season-opening win over the Miami Heat Friday night, I panned around the gorgeously renovated Madison Square Garden, occasionally shifting my gaze to Dwyane Wade's pregame warm-up routine.
And as I took in the start of another season at the basketball Mecca one thought continued to cross my mind: What in the world am I doing here?
Four days after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the East Coast, turning neighborhoods along the Jersey shore into barren beaches while destroying the beaches themselves, wreaking havoc across the New Jersey and Connecticut suburbs, inundating much of lower Manhattan with water and completely obliterating parts of the outer boroughs and Long Island, why was I at an NBA basketball game?
And, perhaps more pointedly, given the dire condition of the city around me, why was there even a basketball game being played at all?
I was one of the lucky ones this week; my neighborhood escaped Sandy's wrath virtually unscathed. I never lost power, there were no fallen trees on my Hell's Kitchen block, and other than a crane dangling precariously from a high rise up the street, there was little evidence that a storm had passed through at all.
But others — in the press box, in the stands and all around the region — had too many gut-wrenching horror stories of their own to tell for a game like this to feel even the least bit important in the grand scheme.
One reporter had to hunker down with his elderly mother, who wasn't well enough to evacuate her Rockaway home. Another returned home to Long Island to find his car was damaged beyond recognition by the storm. For many others, food and patience were running short, a common theme across the region.
As of Friday, people in Brooklyn were still waiting in lines hours long so they can take a shuttle bus to work in Manhattan. Others waited in lines just as long for gas so they can get to where they need to be. Much of the area was still without power, with some walking miles just for a place to charge their phones so they could communicate with concerned family.
And, sadly, as people continue to sort through the wreckage around the five boroughs, they're still finding bodies, including, on Thursday, a set of 2- and 4-year-old brothers, ripped from their mother's arms by the rushing flood waters in Staten Island. The death toll in New York City alone is at 41 and rising — a grim reality of how catastrophic severe weather can be.
The Knicks' original season opener, scheduled for Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets, had already been postponed, ostensibly out of concern and respect for the community, but also because the transportation lines around the city — and particularly to Barclays Center in Brooklyn — were rendered useless by the storm.
And earlier Friday, the New York City Marathon, a massive event that brings tens of thousands of visitors and pumps countless millions into the local economy, was canceled as well, amid intense pressure from the New York community to not run the race.
So, why, given the destruction and grief surrounding them, were these players here, on this court, preparing to play a kids' game to pass the time? Why was anyone here? Shouldn't this have been a case where the show didn't have to go on?
THEY'RE KEEPERSWhich stars from the 2009 draft class got contract extensions?
I wasn't alone in my hesitance about the need for a basketball game during such a desperate time for New York City, either. Before the game, a number of players from both teams expressed uneasiness about the game. Something about the whole situation just felt forced and wrong.
But then the fans started filing in from 7th Avenue and kept pouring in, filling the upper and lower bowls, and for some reason, being here, in this building, started to feel right — like maybe this was supposed to happen.
Before the game, after a chilling national anthem from a former NYPD officer, the entire Knicks team congregated at center court, where star forward Carmelo Anthony spoke to the crowd and thanked the fans for showing up, urging them to come together and rebuild the city.
By tipoff, the house, which I expected to be somewhat vacant, was packed with 19,033 fervent fans. The atmosphere in the building was utterly electric — think Linsanity, and then some — and only picked up as the game played out and the rout began to take shape.
'Melo's 3-pointer with 6:34 left in the first gave the Knicks a 15-6 lead and forced a Heat timeout and elicited a cacophonous roar from the MSG crowd. Then Anthony did it again with a fall-away 3-pointer to give New York a 33-17 edge as time expired on the quarter. He finished with a game-high 30 points.
See who's fighting hard for playoff position. Photos of the week.
Steve Novak's 3 — one of 19 total on the night for the Knicks — gave the home team its largest lead of the night, 75-52, and sent fans into a frenzy with 3:12 left in the third. Then, in the fourth quarter, with the Heat stars already called to the bench, the crowd started chanting for new Knick Rasheed Wallace to check in, and head coach Mike Woodson obliged. (Wallace later hit a 3, too.)
The arena was still full as the final buzzer sounded, and the fans, many of them desperate for anything to be happy about, celebrated the win like a championship — like it meant something more than just your average victory. And maybe that's because it did.
"There's so many emotions, because you're hearing all the horror stories of what is going on around the city, and the last thing you wanted to do is come out and play a basketball game, to be honest with you," Knicks center Tyson Chandler said afterward.
"But we have a job, and the moment we walked out and we saw the fans in the arena, we understood that we had an opportunity to shed some light and give them a smile, even if it's just for 48 minutes or a couple hours to take their minds off of things."
Now, don't get me wrong. There are still a million reasons why Friday's game should have never been played, and I'm not trying to argue that one basketball game is going to have a tenable impact on this distraught city going forward.
Tomorrow, there will still be people concerned about when their power is going to come back on, how they're going to get gas in their car, what they're going to eat, how they're going to get to work and — when Monday comes around — how they're going to get the kids to school. And, in some particularly heartbreaking cases, people still have to figure out how they're going to put their homes and lives back together — and no amount of basketball is going to change that or make that better.
Most of New York will wake up Saturday unconcerned with the Knicks or basketball or anything other than pushing forward and looking to the future, and that's fine.
But for those who do care, for those who showed up Friday night or watched on TV or listened on the radio, Friday's game — whether it should have been played or not — was a welcome respite from the madness of the hellish week they just endured. And that, right or wrong, is why the show went on.
"We gave them a good show out there tonight," Anthony said. "And that's the least that we could do."

Pilot Study Evaluating An Allogeneic GM-CSF-Transduced Pancreatic Tumor Cell Vaccine (GVAX) and Low Dose Cyclophosphamide Integrated with Fractionated Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy in Patients with Resected Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas
Protocol Number:
Joseph Herman
This clinical investigation aims to estimate the safety of a whole cell vaccine (allogeneic GM-CSF vaccine, GVAX) with immune modulating doses of cyclophosphamide, SBRT, and FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy.
Inclusion Criteria (abbreviated):1. Documented cancer of the pancreas (head, neck, and/or uncinate process), that has been completely resected2. No prior Chemotherapy, radiation therapy or biologic therapy for pancreatic cancer3. Must be within 10 weeks from surgical resection of cancer4. ECOG Performance Status of 0 to 15. Adequate organ function as defined by study-specified laboratory tests6. Must use acceptable form of birth control through the study and for 28 days after final dose of study drug7. Signed informed consent form8. Willing and able to comply with study proceduresExclusion criteria (abbreviated):1. Currently have or have history of certain study-specified heart, liver, kidney, lung, neurological, immune or other medical conditions2. Presence of metastatic disease3. Clinical metabolic or laboratory abnormalities defined as Grade 3 or 4 of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.04. Systemically active steroids5. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy or biologic therapy within 28 days prior to receiving study drug6. Inability to begin protocol treatment within 70 days (10 weeks) after surgery to remove cancer7. History of HIV, hepatitis B or C infection8. Pregnant or lactating9. Conditions, including alcohol or drug dependence, or intercurrent illness that would affect the patient's ability to comply with study visits and procedures
This study will give patients immunotherapy before and after concentrated radiation and chemotherapy as adjuvant therapy (following surgery of the pancreas) in pancreatic cancer. Immunotherapy is a type of treatment for cancer based on the idea that the immune system (the system in the body that fights infection) can be activated to destroy cancer cells that have grown undetected. A vaccine is a way of delivering a cancer antigen (something that stimulates the immune system to recognize the cancer) to the immune system so that it recognizes the antigen as foreign and destroys any cells bearing that antigen. This research is being done to see if our experimental pancreatic cancer vaccine can safely be given in combination with concentrated radiation and chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting, and to determine if this regimen will improve upon current therapy and prevent both local and distant spread of pancreas cancer.

Back-to-school tax holiday continues
Updated On: Aug 02 2014 07:20:00 AM EDT
Florida's annual back-to-school sales tax holiday runs through Sunday and features higher limits on exemptions from last year.
The exemption for clothing items has been increased to $100 per item, up from $75 per item last year. In addition, the state Legislature added personal computers and certain computer-related accessories purchased by individuals to the tax holiday, with the first $750 of the sales price exempt from sales tax.

List of all tax-exempt items
Retailers said increased limits and addition of computer items to the list of tax-exempt items will help continue what has been a strong retail season. They are expecting an average increase of at least 30 percent in store traffic over the weekend because of the sales tax holiday.
In all, Florida residents are expected to save at least $40 million over the three-day holiday, which was passed unanimously by the 2014 Florida Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott.
Combined spending for back to school and college is expected to reach about $5 billion in Florida, and tax-exempt sales will account for an estimated $600 million of that spending.
The term "personal computer" includes any electronic book reader, laptop, desktop, handheld, tablet, or tower computer, but does not include cell phones, video game consoles, digital media receivers, or devices that are not primarily designed to process data.
The term "related accessories" includes keyboards, mice, personal digital assistants, monitors (except those with TV tuners), modems, routers, and non-recreational software.
Clothing and shoes up to $100 will be tax exempt, along with school supplies up to $15.
That includes pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, notebooks, notebook paper, legal pads, binders, lunch boxes, construction paper, markers, folders, poster board, composition books, poster paper, scissors, cellophane tape, glue or paste, rulers, computer disks, protractors, compasses, and calculators.
The tax-free holiday runs from 12:01 a.m. Friday through 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
Georgia's back-to-school tax holiday runs Friday through 11:59 p.m. Saturday.

This isn't going to be liveblogging. This will be "blogging during intermissions". Alas, I am the last remaining person on Earth who doesn't own a laptop, and my computer and tv are on opposite sides of the apartment.
Sergei Samsonov got the Oilers going at 8:40 with a REALLY pretty goal. Jarrett Stoll made a stunning behind the back cross-ice pass to Radek Dvorak. He then fed Samsonov on the front porch, and there was nothing Ward could do other than watch it go by him. A perfectly executed play.
Just 29 seconds later, however, Cory Stillman knotted it up. Raffi Torres was in the box for two minutes, all by himself, feeling shame. The Canes had all the time and space in the world to rotate the puck as they wished. And they did. Stilly shoved one in from the right circle. Frantisek "I might have been the game 3 goat" Kaberle and Eric "I have been in a coma for this series" Staal got the assists. Stilly's streak is now at 12 games.
There was a lot of heavy hitting, mostly by the Oilers. Carolina will not be able to withstand that abuse, so they will have to exert some aggression themselves, or hope that the Oilers get a little too amped up and start to hit illegally.
All penalties so far have been hooking or other stick-related minor penalties. Kind of surprising with the blistering hits we've seen.
Carolina's pk has been amazing, and they got the pp going again. These are both good things.
Wow. Jussi Markkanen was awesome in the second period. Carolina wanted chaos, and they got it. They were able to sustain a ton of pressure on Edmonton, and Jussi rose to the occasion. He kept it from being a 5-1 game.
Early on, when the Canes had a couple of power plays, Jussi made a series of highlight reel saves, none bigger than the blocker save on Brind'Amour at ~4:00. At that point, it could have easily been 2-1 or even 3-1.
Carolina was dominating the period, but not finishing the chances. However, at 15:58, they finally did. Mark Recchi from below the left circle, down near the goal line. It was all started by Stillman forcing a turnover in the Oiler zone. Eric Staal made a smart and pretty pass to Rechhi, who hit his mark from a pretty sharp angle.
After that, there was a sequence of penalties that resulted in a 4-on-3 advantage for Carolina which will spill over to the third frame.
Carolina will have to maintain their level of energy, which will mean keeping Vasicek off the ice. He's lethargic at best.
I have to tip my cap to Markkanen, seriously. He's been amazing.
Back at the end of the game.
No scoring in the third. Actually, there were only a few shots in total.
There was a LOT of heavy hitting. Most of it by the Canes. There was one really heavy hit by Eric Staal. Frankly, I'm not sure that it wasn't boarding. Throughout the game, though, there was a lot of heavy hitting that might have been penalized in the regular season, or in game one of the conference quarterfinals. Not tonight. As I hinted at before,10 of the 12 penalties called (six per team) were of the holding/hooking variety.
Okay... So it's 3-1, and we'll have a chance to win on home ice. Two chances to win on home ice, if we need them.

Like father, like son? DiMaggio's father held 16-year-old at gunpointon August 12, 2013 @ 7:52 am (Updated: 11:16 am - 8/12/13 )
Suspected kidnapper and murderer James Lee DiMaggio's father had an extensive criminal past and once held a teenage girl at gunpoint.
That teenager, who is now 41, went to high school with the man who kidnapped Hannah Anderson.
"Did he have a chance, could he have been different? A little bit of me aches for that person I knew as a friend, before," the woman told CBS 8 in San Diego. Her identity was concealed in CBS' report.
She said DiMaggio's father, James senior, professed his love to her when she was 16. He gave her concert tickets and told her he wanted to be with her forever.
After she refused, she said DiMaggio, Sr. became violent. He broke into her house had a shotgun and handcuffs and threatened to kill her, her boyfriend and her mother.
"He wanted to take me away from my mom and give me a good life. A better life. He could take care of me," she described.
Unlike Hannah Anderson, she was able to get away and her family was not harmed.
The elder DiMaggio was also accused of beating another woman and her boyfriend with a baseball bat. He committed suicide 18 years ago, on the same day his son was killed by authorities in Idaho.

Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great school. Great School Leadership. Excellent PTSA!!!! My kid is a 2nd grader (3rd year) at JHFI and I couldn't have made a better choice. His level of fluency in French at 7 is remarkable. Every year is better than the last. Keep up the good work JHFI family.
Wonderful School. My child is excelling. The curriculum is challenging and my daughter already has a working knowledge of the French language and she's only in the First grade.
Our school is an academic stronghold. We offer our children an immersion environment with excellent activities to enrich young lives. Our programs include dance, STEM club, robotics, Mandarin, Parent Empowerment and much more! If you are looking for a challenging school with great academics and after School activities, check out John Hansom French Immersion @ Shugart!
My school is awesome, active, alive and academically achieving! My 2nd grader is already quite proficient in not only math, science and reading, but becoming quite fluent in the French language. I would say that is a great achievement for a 7 year old! The school is supportive of the academic needs of the children, and strive to provide top-notch education to our children. In a county that has not always been at the top of the leader board in Maryland, this school sets a higher bar, and helps to launch the county and school system in Maryland forward. The school also has a very strong PTA, complete with very passionate and active parents. Collectively, with the school and PTA effort this truly is a family and community spirited school, complete with a common set of core value to promote excellence in our students and school system.
John Hanson is an awesome school where students are getting fully immersed in a second language for no extra cost! I have two children currently in attendance due to the much appreciated automatic sibling enrollment policy! If you decide to let your kids attend know that your involvement is paramount to your child's success and no English is taught until the 2nd grade. The only improvements I would like to see is for the program to be expanded with more teachers so that the class sizes can be smaller for the younger grades and extended to the 12th grade onsite.
I love the opportunities that this school presents to our youth. Language immersion offers a great advantage to students in the greater DC area for job prospects in the future. The staff is very committed and stays after to help students. They tailor the instruction to meet the needs of the students.
This is a great school. My daughter is in the Second great and academically she's doing very well. I must say the program is very rigorous so if you want to send your child to this school make sure that you have the time to be involved in his or her education. The principal strives for excellence. She is very much liked and respected by the rest of the staff. I am hoping that when my son is old enough I can send him there as well.
School Principal, Faculty, Staff and PTSA Parents are making strides and major improvements to school structure, curriculum support and community. Advanced math offerings for grades 4th-8th to include Algebra have boosted test scores. The move to Shugart provides a fully operational science lab in Fall 2013 to improve science learning, STEM activities and assignments which will improve scores. Curriculum change by the County to Common Core will increase focus on writing in conjunction with reading across all schools. Great things are happening here and I am glad that my children are a part of it. Only concern is that Faculty needs to work on improving classroom management but the JHFIS Principal is already making strides to improve this skill set among teachers. KUDOS!
I agree. My son will be entering the 6th grade this coming school year and each year has been a challenge for him. With the support he receives from my husband and I as well as his teachers he has managed to remain on the honor roll throughout his years in the program. The experience of being taught by educators from various countries has taught him to be worldly at a young age. and this is what we want. As parents we also expose him to the French language by taking him to countries where French is spoken. It is an excellent school with an excellent staff.
My son is just about to finish up 1st grade and my husband and I are very pleased with the program. I do think that it's important for parents to understand the additional work that is needed on the homefront when you send your child to an immersion school. They do not receive any English instruction until grade 2, so it is up to the parent to teach the child English at home. If things are done on the homefront, I think the experience is a positive one.

IKEA for cookware/gadgets
- brekkie_fan Mar 17, 2007 11:54 PM
I know it's probably wiser to go to a Macy*s, Crate & Barrel, Sur La Table, or Costco even (for those Kirkland brands), but I was just curious to whether others have found a good find here and there. Here are some I've scored over the years.
* Can opener - love how it doesn't leave any sharp edges
* 3 pc mixing bowls - got black ceramic ones on sale for $3. Still use them for small jobs
* $3 fry pan - i know, it's so wrong. but it still works fine for simple light saute jobs
* grater/container - ingenious how it falls into its own container, had different grating covers, and a lid too.
* tall clear storage containers - just bought these. perfect for my dry snacks and pastas. opens two ways depending on your need.
I've had terrible luck with Ikea kitchen gadgets. The grater I had from them rusted away into oblivion, the cutting boards barely lasted me six months, I had to sand the wood utensils to smooth the rough edges, and all the plastic spatulas melted away.
I love a lot of their dinnerware, however.
Mind you, they've gotten colossally better over the past few years, based on what I've seen from there recently.
I've had pretty good luck with Ikea kitchen stuff, actually. I've got several of their plastic utensils (a nice sized, ie small, ladel, a pasta fork, an offset spatula); I love their ceramic baking dishes and use them all the time because all three of the ones I have will fit in my (rather large) toaster oven. I also have ramikins from them and most of our glassware is actually Ikea. We have a handful of their glass storage containers that we use for pasta.
I haven't used any of their wooden utensils and I haven't exposed the plastic to high heats.
My absolute favorites, though, are the grundtal stainless "trivets", they're enormous and I leave them in a couple of key spots on my counters and can set any pan, roasting pan, pot of boiling whatever, right on them and not worry about it. Biggest space expander i've ever had in my kitchen.
re: ccbweb
thanks for the reminder, ccbweb. i love my cork trivets. we toss them in the dishwasher if they get dirty. oh, and the cheap plastic utensils are still working fine (i think they came in trios of spoons and spatulas or something).
re: brekkie_fan
whoah...cork trivets in the dishwasher... I love my cork trivets...I'm fascinated. Does the cork stand up to the diswashing soap???
re: cheesehead in recovery
they don't go in very often, and they are pretty dense to hold up to the wash. i bought the 3 pack of round ones years ago. maybe yours are different??
recently bought like 10 canisters from Ikea and I love them all!
Looks very fancy(though you can tell they are from Ikea) on my shelves.
I don't mind getting stainles steel products(especially utensils) from them but I tend to avoid ones made with plastic. I don't think I'd buy their pots and pans though.
I bought a couple of whisks there maybe three or four years ago. Don't remember what I paid, couldn't have been more than a few bucks. They are still in great condition.
I regularly use these:
cork trivets (LOVE these)
cheap glassware for everyday use
glass mixing bowl
trojka scissors (set of 3)
Slom glass jars with lids for storage of dry goods
On a whim, I bought a 4-qt. stainless stockpot about a year ago and it's held up wonderfully. Other than that, I have a few miscellaneous utensils, mixing bowls and wine glasses - no complaints here! I do have to balk at one of their pepper grinders though - I bought a wooden one for 12.99 and it sucks.
re: baseballfan
i keep thinking they would make good stocking stuffers (yes, i'm pathetically practical like that sometimes).
The pepper/spice grinders ($7 or $8 bucks with ceramic grinding wheels) are a great deal. Use to go through one a year, expensive, cheapo ones...didn't matter. The Ikea ones have held up for 2-3 years so far and I don't sense them breaking for awhile.
re: Gin and It
I have two plastic strainers that work great and seem quite durable. They're definitely over ten years old and go through the dishwasher regularly. I have a new enameled cast iron skillet. It seems fine so far. I've never had anything made of enameled cast iron before and since it's only a few months old, the jury is still out on that piece.
Not a gadget, but - I've also relied on them for years for decently-designed and -priced wine glasses. They're not weighted funny or a bad shape for the vino, like some cheap glasses. I like the fact that they are low-priced enough that if one goes, I can say to myself (or to a guest), "The inherent nature of wine glasses is they break," and genuinely not fret about it.

FWC rescues injured Florida Panther kitten

Updated On: May 15 2013 09:47:31 PM EDT
Wildlife experts rescued a badly injured Florida Panther kitten on Monday.
The panther, which is believed to be about 9-months old, was caught in Southwest Florida.
Florida Fish & Wildlife veterinarians responded after someone called to report they saw the female panther kitten dragging her rear leg.
They believe the panther was hit by a car and suffered a broken leg, broken ribs, and a bruised lung.
Surgeons at the Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida placed a steal plate in the cat's leg to mend the bone together.
"We are pleased with what appears to be a successful surgery with no complications," said Darrell Land, FWC panther team leader.

How to Select
How to select Outdoor Flood Lights
Flood lights are the best devices to help you illuminate the outdoor location of your choice, whether it's a pool, porch or a basketball hoop. The greatest advantage of such lighting fixtures is their high efficiency and versatile designs that can be installed in the most hard-to-reach areas. The following guide will help you select the perfect outdoor flood lights for your home.
When looking for flood lights, there are several things that you need to consider before you make a decision. The first thing you should consider is the location of the flood light. The rules of installing such fixtures state that they should be positioned in front of the target that they will be illuminating. Also, the angle at which the fixtures would be mounted should not exceed 22 degrees; otherwise the direct light may obscure anyone's vision. Finally, allow at least 9 feet space between the flood light and the ground to prevent tampering and overheating.
The flood light's finish is also something that should be considered. Why? Well there are many options available today, including copper, colored aluminum, stainless steel and other materials. Select the fixtures that match with the décor of the landscape where they will be installed. Moreover, ensure that the flood lights are made from durable and weather-resistant material and have all cords and wires hidden in the secure compartment.
Additional features are also the factors to consider before buying any flood lights. For example, you may want such lighting fixtures to be equipped with motion sensors that will help you save some money on energy bills. Such sensors are practical and, most importantly, affordable for families with average budgets. Wireless light controllers are also something you might want your future flood lights to have.
The light bulb type is the detail that will define how much money you will spend on energy bills. Since every type of light bulb consumes different amount of energy and has different life expectancy, calculate the operating cost of each option and select the one that fits you the most.
The price of the flood light fixture and its brand are also details that require your attention. Don't buy the flood lights from a manufacturer that no one had heard about only because they have the lowest price because it is highly likely that their maintenance will cost you much more in the long run. Not only that, there's no guarantee that such flood lights won't break in their first month of use.

|Dame Felicity Lott (soprano), Graham Johnson (piano)» More
It is true that an arrangement of this sort, where there is no orchestral colour and where the explosive effect of the music is tied to the human voice and its inability to blare like a trombone, is a less exciting affair than the original version. It is for this reason that Chabrier himself was careful to mark the autograph with the words 'd'après la Rapsodie de E.C.' – 'after the Rhapsody of E. Chabrier' – to separate the transcription from the original orchestral piece. The singer finds herself spitting out a slew of words which are far too clumsy to be original word-settings. So this music must be heard in the spirit in which it was intended. Even the ebullience of the piano writing (Chabrier broke Wagner's piano in Wahnfried when he had the temerity to play this piece to Cosima Wagner in a solo arrangement) has to be thinned and toned down to give the singer a chance of being heard. Given that the voice has to negotiate a certain amount of orchestral writing (melismatic sextuplets which, at this tempo, are less than vocally idiomatic) the piece remains enormous fun. The accompanist somehow has to capture the force and spirit of the original while preserving the illusion that this is a real piece for voice and piano.
With a bit of luck, after a few pages one can forget the orchestral work and appreciate this arrangement for what it is – a riot of camp exaggeration long before 'camp' was officially defined, and before its enjoyment implied a sexual preference. It is clear from his letters from his Spanish visit that Chabrier was mesmerised by the lady dancers. He wrote: 'The women are pretty, the men well built, and on the beach the señoras who have ample bosoms often forget to fasten their costumes. I'll bring buttons, needle and thread to help them: to be of service is my only concern'; and later: 'what an eyeful we are getting of Andalusian behinds wiggling like frolicsome snakes'. One can wonder at the composer's genius for finding and manipulating Spanish rhythms and melodies (some of them assiduously transcribed during this sojourn) which sound more Spanish than the Spanish. This piece of music (at least in its original version) is one of the high-water marks of the dazzling ability of French composers (Lalo, Debussy and Ravel are others) to evoke the musical manners of Spain without musicological accuracy, and without compromising one iota of their own personalities. The French adored the work and the Spanish hated it. As Poulenc put it, the wrought-iron grilles of España come straight out of a big French department store. Such a remark from that inveterate Parisian was meant as a compliment to his beloved Chabrier.

Recommendation 9
The committee recommends that the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology expand the minimum data for electronic health records to include behavioral, social, and environmental risk factors for cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases in validated, interoperable ways in order to enhance the quality of surveillance data for these conditions.
Because EHRs are currently in use in only a minority of hospitals and practices, several interim steps are needed before their potential can be realized. Expansion of EHRs to the majority of clinical care settings will require significant investment in purchasing necessary equipment and software as well as staff training. Additional resources will need to be devoted to major issues such as interoperability of EHR systems and harmonization of data standards.
Many existing sources of surveillance information provide high-quality data that are critical to understanding the trajectory of cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases. However, those data lack standardization and cannot be linked across sources, and many of them are not readily accessible. Furthermore, there is a need for collection of data that can be analyzed by demographic variables such as race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geography. The committee believes the recommendations provided in this report lay the foundation or framework and the basics of the infrastructure needed for integrating and enhancing current CVD and COPD surveillance activities so that they can evolve into the complex, interdependent system needed.

Every Friday on Sunrise 7 - we feature kids with some amazing talents. This week we featured "WithoutExcuse." The band is made up of 5 area kids and they describe it as Christian Pop-Punk. The members also write their own songs. They're so talented, they've played at Summerfest in Milwaukee and a number of other events.
Friday morning, they were nice enough to come on the show and perform for us. They played an acoustic version of "Don't Look Back." To see their performance, watch the video above.

Industries & Professions /
Orthodontists straighten teeth that are crooked or crowded or that have gaps between them. People who benefit from orthodontics include those whose facial profile shows an overbite, an underbite, protruding lips, or even a "weak chin." People who have dental and facial irregularities often have what is termed "malocclusion," sometimes called a "bad bite." A malocclusion can be corrected for cosmetic reasons, but in some cases crooked teeth can create speech problems or can be more susceptible to decay because the teeth are more difficult to keep clean.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Pittsburgh cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke is out of Sunday's game at Dallas after hurting his right shoulder on a special teams play.
Van Dyke was hurt on the Steelers' first punt less than 2 minutes into the game trying to tackle returner Dwayne Harris.
Cowboys starting linebacker Ernie Sims was doubtful to return after what the team said was a blow to the head on another play in the first quarter.
After Harris got away from Van Dyke and was quickly tackled by another Pittsburgh player, Van Dyke remained sitting on the field. He walked off the field with two trainers.
The Steelers initially said Van Dyke was doubtful to return, but a few minutes later said he was out for the game. They provided no other details.

Ooltewah defender Jeremiah Jackson (55) was around the ball a lot during a stellar freshman season in 2012.
It didn't take very long for linebacker Jeremiah Jackson to make an impact in his initial season in an Ooltewah football jersey. He came in with high expectations for himself, and after one game the coaching staff shared those sentiments.
The 6-foot, 228-pounder finished with 110 tackles — 13 for lost yardage — four sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble return for a touchdown in his freshman season last year for the Owls, who advanced to the Class 5A state quarterfinals. It was a good start to his high school career but has only made him thirstier for more success.
He was projected to split playing time at the start of the 2012 season but took over the starting role full time after the Brainerd game, when the Owl sharing the position tore a knee ligament.
"I realized then that I needed to mature and take on a bigger role," Jackson said. "I was a little nervous when I found out I was going to start, but the coaches liked the way I played in the Brainerd game, and it gave me more confidence. I thought that coming in as a freshman I was going to have to catch up, but God is good and He gave me the wisdom to lead."
New Ooltewah coach Mac Bryan wasn't around to see Jackson in action during the 2012 season but was impressed by what he's seen on video and in practices.
"For him to do what he did as a true freshman is very impressive," Bryan said. "As a sophomore, we'd like to see more consistent play out of him."
That's a request that Jackson will be glad to grant. He dropped down from 238 pounds to 228 during the offseason, and he feels he's both faster and stronger heading into his second varsity season. He feels that will help the Owls in their ultimate goal.
"I've just been working to get better. I cut some weight because I want to be more capable of making dynamic plays," he said. "I want to be able to make plays and be at the right place at the right time — there for my teammates. We want to make it all the way to the state championship this season, but to do that we have to focus on practice, listen, cooperate and put in the work."
