TS Aleph Implementation Group Minutes
June 8, 2006
ELUNA meeting
Betsy and Michele described upcoming changes with Versions 18-20. ELUNA is going to implement a new non-version specific enhancement process whereby all 120 development points will be devoted to a "Targeted Area Development" that cuts across functions (e.g., printing in Aleph).
Betsy also mentioned that Harvard met with Ex Libris during the ELUNA meeting to discuss batchloading limitations due to indexing processes, and she will be following up to find out what they learned.
Michele reported an upcoming change in MetaLib keyword searching. [Jan later clarified that Version 4.0 will allow keyword searching in addition to the current browse search capability.]
A Verde kick-off meeting was held at FCLA on Wednesday, May 24. Two Ex Libris representatives were present to discuss implementation issues. A consortial version has not yet been released.
Joint Bibs Task Group
Ed announced that the Joint Bibs Task Group (Ed Hart, Coordinator, Jean Bostwick, Michele Crump, Jimmie Lundgren, and Betsy Simpson) met May 26 to discuss plans for Law and Smathers to share bibs. Jimmie later met with Jan and Documents staff to brainstorm about loading shared Marcive records, which the task group decided would be a good place to begin. Ed contacted Shelley Arlen to collaborate re. collection analysis. Betsy confirmed with Rich that the PUBLIC OWN code permissions provide editing privileges across libraries. Rich encouraged the task group to touch bases with FCLA about its activities.
In-Process Requests Task Group
Doug said the task group is closer to finalizing an improved interface for rush requests in time for the start of the fall semester.
New Titles
The New Titles logical base will go live in early fall after Access Services has had an opportunity to configure circ computers to issue e-mail notifications for holds generated from CT, PP, and SR IPS. It was suggested that the New Titles interface be announced via Library News when the time comes.
IPS and Missing Items group
Cathy reported that staff were notified about the Item Process Status (IPS) Suggestion Form to add, modify, or delete an IPS (e-mail sent by Matthew Daley to TS/PS/CM Divisions on May 1, 2006). The IPS spreadsheet is almost completed. The Missing Items guideline for monographs and bound periodicals is finalized. Cathy will look into getting links to these documents in AlephPro.
Recently, FCLA gave Gerald the go-ahead to load up to 12,000 records per day in stages. This upper limit does not refer to records that require intensive indexing, such as the table of contents files. Gerald will try this out when loading the next Serials Solutions update.
NEFLIN Holdings Maintenance workshop
October 6, the scheduled date for the NEFLIN Holdings Maintenance Workshop in Gainesville, is the same day as the UF Homecoming parade. Betsy asked Patty Hay at NEFLIN to reschedule for Friday, October 13.
LW location changes
Rich has alerted Michele Newberry that the Sublibrary/Collection changes necessitated by the Library West re-opening need to be in place by the beginning of the fall semester.
Rich reported that FCLA is still negotiating the Endeca acquisition.
Test Client
Rich referred to an e-mail sent earlier notifying the group about FCLA's plans to replace the current Test Client with Production Client data. If FCLA needs a smaller database for testing purposes (e.g., reindexing), the FCLA Development Client will be used. The Test Client will be refreshed with the latest Production Client data upon request.
LC series decision
Priscilla announced that the SUL Authorities Subcommittee is organizing a meeting in late summer to discuss issues related to the LC series decision.
ARL statistics
Jan conveyed to the group that Public Services would like CatMet to assume responsibility for reporting the title and volume/unit counts for ARL. Betsy explained that each year CatMet submits Form 7, which includes title and volume counts by type of material, to the Associate Director for Support Services, so this information is already available to report to ARL. Martha commented that for other purposes the library needs these counts broken down by owning location, and Betsy responded that the new method for generating cataloging statistics using trigger reports allows such a breakdown.
The next meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, July 25, 10:00-11:30am, MSL 107, will be a TS/PS/CM meeting..

Washington state budget shortfall could be even deeper
State lawmakers will learn Thursday whether the state's multibillion dollar budget shortfall is actually worse than previously projected. House Ways and Means Chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, thinks there could be a drop of between $500 million and $1.5 billion — on top of the existing shortfall of nearly $5 billion for the next two-year budget.
Seattle Times Olympia bureau
OLYMPIA — Lawmakers are in a relative lull after spending weeks handling legislation to help close a budget shortfall for this fiscal year and retool workers' compensation and unemployment insurance.
But a monster in the shadows soon could run amok.
Lawmakers will learn Thursday whether the state's multibillion-dollar budget shortfall is worse than previously projected.
House Ways and Means Chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, thinks there could be a drop in anticipated tax revenues of between $500 million and $1.5 billion — on top of the existing shortfall approaching $5 billion for the next two-year budget.
Budget writers often play a guessing game shortly before the revenue forecast comes out. But the Middle East unrest and rising gas prices, which factor into state projections along with a host of other variables, have them even more nervous.
No one will know for sure if there's bad news until the state's chief economist, Arun Raha, releases his estimate. Raha doesn't talk about his forecasts until they're out.
In the meantime, rumors are circulating about unconventional ways to help close the budget gap if it gets worse, such as borrowing money to pay short-term expenses or, less likely, banking an extra month of tax collections from the future, kind of like payday lending.
Lawmakers have a huge problem on their hands, regardless of the forecast. They'll have a multibillion-dollar shortfall even after tapping reserves and suspending two initiatives that mandate annual raises for teachers and extra spending to reduce K-12 class sizes. Those measures were suspended during the last budget, and doing so again would save about $1 billion.
There's no expectation of a quick agreement on a two-year spending plan through fiscal year 2013. State fiscal years run from July 1 through the end of June.
Democrats, in addition to controlling the governor's office, hold a 27 to 22 majority in the Senate and a 56 to 42 lead in the House. The Senate is trying to forge a bipartisan budget. The House, so far, appears dug in behind party lines, though both sides say they're trying to work together.
There's no clear path to a budget that will get a majority of votes in both chambers.
"I see huge potential for a meltdown," Hunter said of the negotiations ahead. "We'll have a meltdown in the House. We'll have a meltdown in the Senate... . You can imagine all sorts of end games on this. I don't know how it will work."
And although the Legislature is scheduled to wrap up by April 24, there's growing doubt in some quarters that will happen.
"I think it's unlikely," said Senate Ways and Means Chairman Ed Murray, D-Seattle.
Some cuts made
The Legislature has taken some steps to reduce spending already. A series of budget-saving moves since December largely closed a projected $1.1 billion shortfall in the current fiscal year, which runs through June.
Lawmakers cut millions in funding to K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and social services. For now, they've been able to save scaled-back versions of programs such as the Basic Health Plan, which offers subsidized insurance to thousands of the working poor, and Disability Lifeline, which provides aid to unemployable disabled people.
But that doesn't mean either Basic Health or Disability Lifeline will continue after June.
"I worry that the (cuts so far) have given some people a false sense that, 'Well, the worst is over,' " Murray said. "The problem grows bigger."
That's particularly true if Thursday's forecast proves as bad as some people fear. Some lawmakers worry cuts being looked at to balance the budget already go too far in many cases.
The governor's proposed budget, which is based on a shortfall approaching $5 billion, would get rid of the arts commission and the state food-assistance program, reduce a host of other health and social-service programs, chop education programs and increase college and university tuition at double-digit rates to partially offset cuts.
So what happens if the shortfall gets much worse?
That's where you hear talk of reopening contracts with state workers to force more concessions.
State Sen. Joe Zarelli, R-Ridgefield, Clark County, the ranking Republican on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, introduced a bill last week that would reject union contracts negotiated by Gov. Chris Gregoire. Her proposal calls for a 3 percent cut in pay through unpaid time off over the next two years.
She also wants state workers to pay 15 percent of their health-care premiums, with the state picking up 85 percent. The state currently pays 88 percent of the costs, including for family coverage.
Senate Democratic leaders oppose rejecting the contracts.
Zarelli, who contends Gregoire's cuts don't go deep enough, said his proposal could pick up momentum after the forecast.
Ideas floated
Other ideas floating around include borrowing money to pay for short-term expenses, or even booking an extra month of tax collections for the biennium, an accounting move known as the 25th month.
The Legislature borrowed money when the state faced a much smaller budget shortfall in 2002. It's using part of a national settlement Washington is getting from tobacco companies to cover $450 million in debt. The bonds are projected to be paid off by 2024.
Gregoire has trashed the idea of borrowing again, as have Republicans.
Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown, D-Spokane, says her caucus isn't looking at that option, but added she's learned to never rule anything out.
House Democrats aren't dismissing it, either.
Hunter said he personally does not want to borrow money, but added, "I have to get 50 votes to get out of town ... I can't tell you what's going to happen."
The 25th-month option refers to using 25 months of tax collections to pay for 24 months of spending.
In essence, it takes a month from the next budget cycle, leaving future legislators 23 months of tax collections to pay for 24 months of spending in fiscal years 2014 and 2015.
The Legislature did this in 1971 during Republican Gov. Dan Evans' administration. It took lawmakers 16 years to unravel the accounting trick.
Nobody likes the idea of doing it again. Republicans refuse outright, and Murray doesn't think Senate Democrats would approve.
House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, said, "I don't think you can take anything off the table," but he added, "I can't imagine us getting to that point."
Other options include sending voters a ballot measure asking for a tax increase. But even if the Legislature did that, it still would have to pass an all-cuts budget and hope voters bail out some of the cuts.
One thing no one is seriously discussing is the Legislature increasing taxes. That's because Tim Eyman's Initiative 1053 requires a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate to increase taxes — a near impossibility.
Just getting a majority of lawmakers in the House and Senate to agree on a budget will be hard enough.
Zarelli said he's concerned the Senate will draft a bipartisan plan to revamp the state budget, only to be countered with a House Democratic proposal that tries to avoid deeper cuts with short-term patches such as borrowing money.
"If they (the House) write a budget that has all this phony money in it and you try to negotiate, how do you? It's like trying to negotiate dollars against pesos," he said. "It doesn't work that way."

The Senate took an important step forward last month in the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, also known as pirate fishing, by passing the Pirate Fishing Elimination Act (S. 1980) through the Commerce Committee.
The bill implements the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter, and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (Agreement), which the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) adopted in November 2009 and, if ratified, would be the first binding international agreement to specifically combat illegal fishing. The bipartisan bill easily passed the committee and now moves to the Senate floor for consideration.
Pirate fishing is a serious problem that threatens the oceans, honest fishermen and seafood consumers alike. Pirate fishers skirt the law by using illegal gear, fishing in closed areas or during prohibited times, and catching threatened or endangered species. Because this fishing goes unregulated and unreported, it is difficult to assess its true impact on our oceans.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates that pirate fishing leads to global economic losses between $10-23 billion each year and accounts for up to 40 percent of the catch in certain fisheries. One of the easiest ways to address this problem is to close our ports to illegal fishing vessels and help ensure that illegal fish are kept out of our markets.
The bill would accomplish these goals by establishing specific requirements for port entry. In particular, it specifies minimum standards for dockside inspections, requires that nations designate specific ports to which foreign vessels may seek entry and requires that nations share information about violators. If any vessel is known to have or is suspected of pirate fishing, a nation must deny that vessel port entry. The bill also expressly makes the mislabeling and misidentification of fish or fish products illegal.
S. 1980 is a good first step toward addressing illegal fishing, and Oceana commends the Senate Commerce Committee for moving it forward. While Congress is now in recess until September, we hope that both the House and Senate will use the short legislative session in the fall to move this important bill to finally give the U.S. the tools it needs to fight pirate fishing and ensure that illegally-caught fish do not enter our market.
With the help of sustainable seafood guides such as Seafood Watch, we can make informed decisions about what type of seafood to buy based on mercury levels, the type of fishing gear used, and the health of the fishery.
But those guides are undermined if the fish itself is mislabeled. Oceana recently uncovered through DNA testing that in Los Angeles County, 55% of commonly swapped seafood was indeed labeled incorrectly.
This means that we may only be getting the fish we ordered half the time. Seafood fraud is unfair to consumers who may be faced with health risks from consuming seafood with higher contaminant levels, or who are paying more for a less desirable substitute. We should be empowered to consume seafood we think is best for our health and we have the right to be served the seafood we are paying for.
The frustrating part is that there is little oversight on the long journey seafood takes from the ocean to our plate -- from transport to processing, to labeling, to shipping, and finally to grocery stores or restaurants. This extensive journey with little oversight and labeling leaves plenty of room for key information to be lost and for fraud to occur.
So what can be done about seafood fraud?
California is taking a step forward to begin tackling this problem at the state level through new legislation. Senator Ted Lieu introduced Senate Bill 1486, sponsored by Oceana, to require labeling of seafood at large chain restaurants (with 19 or more facilities).
If the bill passes and is signed into law by Governor Brown, chain restaurants will be required to provide information on seafood items ordered including what the species of seafood is; in what country it was caught; and whether it is farmed or wild-caught. So rather than just seeing "Fish sandwich" on the menu, customers will have the information needed to make informed decisions based on health, sustainability, and buying local.
The Senate Health Committee passed the bill at the end of the day yesterday. A huge thanks to the more than 5,000 Oceana Wavemakers in California who weighed in support of this bill with their legislators!
Despite trying to make the best eco-conscious decision, we are being swindled and deceived. Not only is it unjust to consumers, but to the environment and to those fishermen using more responsible practices.
We'll keep you posted as this legislation progresses, and thanks again for your support.

How to Adjust Your Holster's Retention
Comp-Tac holsters are not only retention adjustable but they're also ready to use straight out of the package. Certain holsters, such as the Minotaur MTAC, may require a break-in period before the factory retention can be fully utilized. Here are some steps to take to get the most out of your holster's adjustable retention.
Step 1: Check that the holster or magazine pouch is the correct model for your firearm.
Step 2: Ensure that your firearm is UNLOADED.
Step 3: Double check that your firearm is unloaded!
Step 4: Put the holster on your waistband in the appropriate location. Insert the firearm so that the pistol is fully seated in the holster.
Step 5: Draw the unloaded firearm to test the retention. This may need to be repeated a few times to get a good feel on what the retention is and how you would like to adjust it.
Step 6: Using the allen wrench that was included with your order, adjust the retention screws by tightening or loosening the screw by 1/8 turn. Check the retention.
Step 7: Repeat Step Six until the desired retention has been achieved.
NOTE: Retention screws should be checked on a weekly basis. It is recommended that you use medium (blue) Loctite to secure them once you have found a level of retention that best suits your personal needs.
Breaking In Your Holster
Minotaur Holsters will require a break-in period that varies for each firearm. Until the backing has been broken in a bit, the holster may have an overall tight fit. Here are some tricks to speed up the break-in process of your Minotaur holsters:
Option 1: Leave the UNLOADED firearm in the holster overnight. The muzzle of the firearm can be covered with a few grocery bags or socks to thicken the frame up a bit prior to holstering.
Option 2: Holster and draw the UNLOADED firearm approximately 20 times in succession (more or less as needed).
Option 3: Wear the holster around the house for a few evenings. The leather backing will not only conform to the pistol but also to your body frame.
Still have questions? Contact our Tech Support department Mon-Fri from 8am to 5pm at: (281) 209-3040.

Furniture & Appliance Mart Bucks Black Friday Trend
Submitted: 11/23/2012
- Here in the Northwoods, some retail chains are resisting the urge to open on Thankgiving or before dawn on Black Friday.
Stevens Point-based Furniture and Appliance Mart has ten stores throughout Wisconsin.
They have Black Friday specials, but up until five years ago, they kept their normal store hours. "We will never open earlier than 7 a.m. on Black Friday. The temptation is definitely there from a business standpoint. We'd be lying if we said it wasn't," said advertising and marketing director Jon Gadbois. "But our employees are far too important to us for us to take away their Thanksgiving."
The chain extended its hours from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. five years ago, but they don't plan on extending any further.
Gadbois said Black Friday is still their busiest day of the year.
"It's been something that's been coming up more and more, especially in the last four or five years, opening earlier and earlier," Gadbois said. "Our big-box competitors have continued to do that. Being a family operated company, we don't agree with that from a moral standpoint."
Rhinelander Furniture & Appliance Mart floor manager Butch Somers said he understands that employees need to be at the store when customers want to be there, but he appreciates the limited hours.
"Personally, I agree with those employees that aren't very happy as they're bucking tradition, taking away from family time," Somers said. "There's plenty of time that you can do for sales without getting into family time."

Working Men's Clubs
Working men's clubs may not have originated in Rotherham but in their heyday they proliferated around here like fleas on a dog. In the last few years many of them have gone to the wall as the working men who supported them quite simply don't work any more.
I'm sure that a PHD could be written on the history of working men's clubs, in fact it probably has been, but I shall not bore you with any dry old data. Suffice it to say that when we were teenagers my mates and I bluffed our way into associate membership of one by saying that our fathers were members - Wingfield I think it was. We had some wonderful nights out what with the cheap beer and the excellent cabaret.
Some working men's clubs operate a strict members, associate members and their guests policy - some do not. Some say new members welcome. It's probably best to phone up to check before going.

is it me or is has the search feature hasn't been used before starting a topic..
posting a topic with another same thread makes the forums more messy.
i think we should have warnings for this.
i can understand if it's your first mistake, but you'd probably be using the search now before posting a new topic (or at least i do). if consistency continues, warn them prz.

Salary Cap
Fortitude and Gut Eagles center Hank Fraley has proven durable
January 19, 2005
By Bob Brookover INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
His nickname - "Honey Buns" - is not the most flattering. His body type - a favorite subject of John Madden's - is not beach buff. His college - Robert Morris - is not a football factory and won't be showing up in the BCS rankings in this, or any other, century. With all that going against him, center Hank Fraley still has become a durable anchor in the middle of the Eagles' offensive line. For offensive linemen, there really is only one personal statistic that matters: games started and games played.
November 30, 2004
Inquirer staff writers Bob Brookover and Shannon Ryan contributed to this article
The view from New York Coach Tom Coughlin, a tough marker, won't assess [Eli] Manning publicly with a grade, but after earning perhaps a B in his first start in a 14-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons a week earlier, he deserved no better than a C on Sunday, if not a D. And he understood that better than anybody, even though he is being marked on a rookie curve. - Dave Anderson New York Times Reid's views Excerpts from Andy Reid's day-after news conference at the NovaCare Center.
Fraley rewarded with 5-year extension
September 25, 2002
By Phil Sheridan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The Eagles agreed to a five-year contract with center Hank Fraley yesterday. The contract, which includes the current season, keeps the 25-year-old Fraley with the Eagles through the 2006 season. The details of the contract were not available last night. Fraley's agent, Ralph Cindrich, did not return a phone message. Eagles president Joe Banner confirmed that the contract was to be signed today but declined to comment on the deal's specifics. Banner has been discussing contract extensions with a number of players.
Questions on McNabb answered by Fraley
February 8, 2005
The talk wasn't about covering the spread and making people somewhat wealthy, if not happy, yesterday after the Eagles lost to the New England Patriots, 24-21, in Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville, Fla. The topic of conversation was quarterback Donovan McNabb, especially on the talk-radio shows. Some questioned his throwing ability and leadership, especially during the ineffective last-minute drive that ended in an interception, his third of the game. But one of his teammates came to his defense yesterday.
Birds move to keep Martin, 3 others They made one-year offers to the fullback and their other restricted free agents.
February 22, 2002
By Phil Sheridan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The Eagles took care of some business yesterday, tendering contracts to four of their restricted free-agent players. The one-year, roughly $600,000 offers to fullback Cecil Martin, guard Doug Brzezinski, safety Rashard Cook and wide receiver Na Brown allow the Eagles to retain right of first refusal on each player. That means that if another team offers any of the four a contract, the Eagles would have 10 days to match the offer, or choose compensation from the other team.
Jackson will replace injured Fraley as center
November 11, 2005
By Marc Narducci INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
With Eagles center Hank Fraley out for the season with a torn rotator cuff, Jamaal Jackson will get his first chance to play and start in an NFL game. Coach Andy Reid announced yesterday that Jackson will start at center against Dallas in Monday night's key NFC East game at Lincoln Financial field. The Eagles signed Jackson this week from their practice squad. Jackson was originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Delaware State in 2003, and spent most of that season on the practice squad.
Simon Not Focused On Awards
December 23, 2000
by Marcus Hayes, Daily News Sports Writer
Postseason honors are nice, but the postseason itself is much nicer, Eagles rookie defensive tackle Corey Simon said. He has 9 1/2 sacks, but the sixth overall pick is anything but guaranteed the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award. A couple of sacks tomorrow against the visiting Bengals would help his cause - not that he has anything to be ashamed of now. "Any time you can put up the numbers I've put up, you can't help but be happy," Simon said. Simon has a half-sack fewer than Eagles end Hugh Doulgas compiled as a rookie with the Jets in 1995, when Douglas won the league's Rookie of the Year award.
Eagles lay an egg Some players failed to show for a Golf Channel taping.
September 3, 2005
By Joe Logan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
As far as the Golf Channel is concerned, the Philadelphia Eagles whiffed big-time yesterday. After promoting yesterday's scheduled taping of Big Break All-Star Challenge with a half-dozen popular Eagles, then flying host Rich Lerner and a dozen producers, cameramen and technicians up from Orlando, Fla., the Golf Channel got stiff-armed - or simply stiffed - by some no-show Eagles. The no-shows were Brian Dawkins, Jeremiah Trotter, Hank Fraley and Hugh Douglas, who was to have been the special guest host with Lerner at the filming, scheduled for 8:30-10 a.m. at Ron Jaworski's Valleybrook Golf Club in Blackwood, Camden County.
Fraley and Army brother fall in for happy reunion
August 13, 2003
By Bob Brookover INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The best moment Monday night at the Superdome didn't occur on the field. Sure, Donovan McNabb's touchdown pass to Freddie Mitchell was a thing of beauty for Eagles fans and Lito Sheppard's 88-yard punt return for a touchdown was reason to believe that there is life after Brian Mitchell. Nothing, however, could compare to what happened just outside the Eagles' locker room following their 27-17 exhibition win over the New Orleans Saints. That's where a reunion between Eagles center Hank Fraley and his brother, David, a sergeant in the U.S. Army, took place.
Ex-Eagle Miller signs with Saints
May 16, 2002
Daily News Wire Services
Former Eagles center Bubba Miller signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints yesterday. Miller, with the Eagles since being signed as a rookie free agent in 1996, missed the 2001 season after breaking his right ankle in the preseason finale. Hank Fraley started 15 games in Miller's place and was re-signed to a one-year contract in March. Miller, who was an unrestricted free agent, will be paid the veteran's minimum of $650,000. The Saints also signed tight end Eddie "Boo" Williams, an exclusive-rights free agent, to a one-year contract.

Dallas Reynolds, center of attention for Eagles
September 24, 2012
By Zach Berman, Inquirer Staff Writer
In 2000, Bubba Miller fractured his ankle in the final preseason game and the Eagles entered the season opener with untested Hank Fraley as the starting center. Fraley, who had never before played an NFL snap, kept the job for more than four seasons until he suffered a shoulder injury in the eighth game of 2005. Jamaal Jackson, who had never delivered an NFL snap, replaced him and started the next four years. In both cases, the Eagles lost an established starting center. In both cases, they gave the job to somebody who had provided no reason for confidence.
Jackson finds himself fighting for his job on Eagles O-line
August 22, 2011
By Jonathan Tamari, Inquirer Staff Writer
Inside an office at the Eagles' NovaCare Complex hangs an enlarged Sports Illustrated cover from Aug. 14, 2006. It features Jamaal Jackson, then a third-year player with only eight career starts, crashing in practice against Hank Fraley, who at that time had spent 4 1/2 seasons as the Eagles' full-time starting center. The headline reads, "Survival Game: Fighting for a Job in the NFL. " Jackson won that battle, forcing Fraley out to Cleveland. But now his tenure as the leader on the Eagles offensive line is in jeopardy.
Eagles Notebook: McGlynn now in center of the action for Eagles
September 16, 2010
By LES BOWEN, email@example.com
When Jamaal Jackson took his first step off the field Sunday, right arm dangling from a season-ending torn triceps, Mike McGlynn might have taken his first step toward becoming the Eagles' permanent center. Hard to put it that way without wincing at the indelicacy, which was why one of the first things McGlynn said yesterday when reporters gathered around his locker stall was, "You never want to see anybody go down. " But as McGlynn has noted in the past, Jackson got his foot in the door in 2005, when Hank Fraley suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the eighth game of the season.
September 9, 2010
In Super Bowl XXXIX: Lost to the Patriots, 24-21, at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville. From the clips: "The Eagles came in as seven-point underdogs," wrote Daily News Eagles beat writer Les Bowen. "To win, they needed for Donovan McNabb to outplay Tom Brady, which he didn't, and they needed for Andy Reid to do something that would make Bill Belichick adjust, rather than the other way around. " What went wrong: The Eagles weren't overmatched, they were just sloppy. McNabb had 357 yards passing in the Super Bowl, but the offense showed no urgency in trying to rally from a 10-point deficit with 5:40 left.
Jamaal Jackson targets Eagles' opener; center competition open?
August 16, 2010
By LES BOWEN, email@example.com
BETHLEHEM - Mike McGlynn wants a chance to win the Eagles' starting center job, to build on the work he put in Friday night, when McGlynn started the preseason opener against Jacksonville. When the Birds gathered yesterday for their first day of practice after that game, McGlynn suddenly seemed much farther from that goal. In the morning, longtime starting center Jamaal Jackson startled nearly everyone by donning his uniform and taking part in individual drills, Jackson and left guard Todd Herremans removed from the physically unable to perform list.
Browns' Fraley 'shocked' at release
March 4, 2010
Daily News Wire Services
Hank Fraley was happy to fill in anywhere the Cleveland Browns needed him. Center, guard, even tight end. He went wherever. Yesterday, he was told the Browns no longer had a spot for him. A 10-year veteran, the versatile Fraley, who bailed the Browns out when LeCharles Bentley was injured in 2006, was released by Cleveland 2 weeks before he was due a roster bonus. The move was made in preparation for free agency, where the Browns have been among the NFL's most active teams in recent years.
Les Bowen: Eagles' offensive line faces test without Jamaal Jackson
December 31, 2009
THE LAST TIME the Eagles played the Cowboys, back on Nov. 8 at the Linc, Donovan McNabb was picked off twice and never looked comfortable in the pocket. The Birds' offensive line got shuffled when left tackle Jason Peters suffered a first-half ankle injury, then was reshuffled when he returned. It gave up four sacks and seemed overmatched, most notably when it couldn't pick up a key fourth-quarter first down from the Dallas 45 on second-, third- and fourth-and-1. (The spots on third and fourth down almost certainly were wrong, but let's not rehash that again.
Jamaal Jackson sprains left knee
December 28, 2009
By Bob Brookover and Jeff McLane INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS
The glue to the Eagles' offensive line this season landed in the trainer's room before the end of the first quarter yesterday. Center Jamaal Jackson suffered a sprained left knee with 5 minutes, 36 seconds left in the first quarter and did not return. Coach Andy Reid said after the game that Jackson would have an MRI examination on the knee today. Jackson's injury forced the Eagles to shuffle their offensive line once again, which has been an ongoing saga for this team since the start of training camp.
Line dancing: Birds put up brave front as they learn new steps in period of great change
July 24, 2009
By LES BOWEN, email@example.com
CERTAIN GROUPINGS become familiar enough to seem permanent. The Art Museum anchors one end of the Parkway, City Hall the other. Gaze north up the Delaware on a clear day from the middle of the Walt Whitman Bridge, you know you'll see the pale-blue span of the Ben Franklin. That's how it has been with the Eagles' offensive line and its tackles, Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan. One hundred thirty-four regular-season games, the Birds played with those very large, talented men bracketing the guards and the center.
Beatable Pats? They were in 2005, and that still irks
November 25, 2007
By Bob Brookover INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
About 90 minutes after the Eagles completed their 17-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins a week ago at Lincoln Financial Field, veteran safety Brian Dawkins was asked whether the unbeaten New England Patriots were unbeatable. "Every team can be beaten - that's a given," Dawkins said. "There's no team that's played the game that can't be beaten. " Given how dominant the Patriots have been through 10 games, Dawkins' point certainly is open for debate. Few people believe the Eagles have any chance of going into Gillette Stadium tonight and shocking a national television audience with an upset of a team favored by 24 points.

Online Microbiology course.....?
- 0Mar 10, '07 by paulaking1978Has anyone taken Microbiology on-line and if so, through which school? And how was the course, easy, hard, ?????
- 0Mar 10, '07 by justme1972I am also curious of anyone that has taken Anatomy or Microbiology online and any challenges they faced by not having a real instructor for lecture. I've never taken a distance learning course so I am a little nervous about doing something like that, considering many of these courses are so expensive.
- 0Mar 10, '07 by Batman24I have attached a link that has some excellent advice in it. Good luck!!
- 0Mar 12, '07 by 12breakfreeQuote from paulaking1978I'm taking online micro through fccj. The course itself isn't that hard, but it also depends on your instructor how he or she teaches. Mine is a good one as far as her teaching technique. For the anatomy, I wouldn't suggest taking it online, because it covers more materials and somewhat harder than micro. I can't say that for sure, but I took mine on campus.Has anyone taken Microbiology on-line and if so, through which school? And how was the course, easy, hard, ?????
- 0Jan 14, '10 by Hootiemcfly EMT-PHey there,
In order to fulfill my nursing pre-req's I took an online Microbiology class through Red Rocks community college out here in Colorado. Because I teach in the EMS department at the college I didn't want to take an on campus class and end up with my students in the same room in the same capacity.
So, I took it online. It wasn't very difficult, but it was time consuming. (I took an accelerated 15 week version.) My professor, who's name I'm happy to provide if anyone is looking for the class, was FANTASTIC. Best I've had.
I had to purchase the text, the microscope, and the MBK home lab kit.
I also have those things if anyone is interested in them.
There are a lot of schools in Colorado that accept online Micro, I'm not sure about out of state. So you'd have to check with the school you're applying to. It's on my transcript not as an online class, but as Micro itself, so it might be able to slide through either way.
Please feel free to contact me with questions.....
- 0Jan 14, '10 by FineAgain, BSN, RNI just finished A&P1 and Chemistry online at Red Rocks Community College, through CCC Online. I am taking A&P2 and Psych this semester, and Micro in the summer. I love the classes, and really learned a lot. You get out of it what you put into it, and I have heard that it is harder than a class you take in person. There is a lot of work, and it is all done by yourself, but the professors are great at answering and helping you any way they can.
Yes, they are more expensive if you are out of state, but it is one of the few places where you can take online lab courses. And they are wonderful to work with!
So...good luck to you!
- 0Jan 14, '10 by Hootiemcfly EMT-PI have all of the Red Rocks Micro stuff if you're interested. I'm going to post it on Craig's list this month for the spring/summer students.
I love online classes, and Red Rocks and CCConline make it so easy!
- 0Jan 17, '10 by Hootiemcfly EMT-PI'll email him and make sure he doesn't mind my giving out his information.
If/when he says yes I'd be happy to post it.
He's well worth the find.....best instructor I've had in many, many years.

Time lapse: F/A-18 Super Hornet being built from start to finish
It doesn't come with any instructions on how to build one yourself, but here's a video that shows you what goes into building an F/A-18 Super Hornet (which I supposed means it's either an F/A-18E or F/A-18F) from start to finish.
This particular one appears to be built for the the Royal Australian Air Force to replace their old F-111s. Super Hornets are an updated version of Boeing's popular F/A-18 Hornet, and they are carrier-launched craft equipped with 20 mm guns and a mix of air-to-air or air-to-ground ordinance.
Check out the video above.

There were a dozen or more married couple in that group of PCVs who had trained at Utah. They were important to the Ethiopian teaching program, as that fall we were opening a series of new sites on the two major northern arteries of the Empire: the Dessie-Makalle Road, that went into Eritrea, and the Gordar Road, that crossed the Blue Nile, and went north into the traditional Amhara regions of the Empire.
As an APCD I was responsible for about 120 Volunteers, mostly teachers, and a handful of nurses, who were scattered in dozens of towns on these two main Ethiopian arteries. I would visit the PCVs once a month, spending between 24-26 days on the road. It was the best job I ever had.
While driving these gravel roads the year before, I had spotted European kids, Scandinavian Volunteers, who were building elementary schools in small villages and I had stopped to find out what their 'gig' was. What were they doing in Ethiopia?
They had made arrangements, they told me, with these villages to build two-room elementary schools if the village came up with half the cost of construction and gave them a plot of land.
The problem was, of course, getting teachers to these schools once they had buildings. I'd talk to the local chief, get the names of key people in the tiny villages, and then went back and talked to our CD, Dave Berlew, and together we worked with the Ministry of Education, that was run by a great friend of the Peace Corps, Adam Abdullah, who had befriended us all when we first came to Ethiopia in 1962, With Adam, we arranged for two PCVs, mostly couples, to be assigned to these new two-room schools.
Over that summer one of the PCVs–John Pettit–had as his summer project the job of opening these sites. Pettit traveled these roads through the Rainy Season, renting houses in 9-12 vilages for the PCVs, equipping them with essentials, a bed, a few chairs, etc. The new PCVs had very little time between arriving in Addis Ababa and their first day of school to buy and transfer household goods.
Charles and Susan Traub were two of the PCVs assigned to one of these villages. They never made it to their site.

Well done to everyone who help organise and who ran & a big thankyou to the Samba Drummers who were superb.Date of review: September 1, 2012
In short: Wet & muddyIn full: As previously said very much akin to a cross country race. Left hanging around at the start for 10 mins awaiting the marshalls getting sorted. Overall it was an OK 10km, I've run better & worse.Date of review: July 30, 2012
In short: Lovely run by the MerseyIn full: Another great day in Liverpool. Have run this race three years now and can not fault it as a big city event.

In short: A great day in BirminghamIn full: I have run various Great Run events and the support in all of their events is always amazing and Birmingham is no exception. The crowds were brilliant and the number of people who shouted your name from your number to keep you going was superb. The event is the usual sleak operation you expect from the Great Run team. So its a Big Well Done to all the Great Run staff, the Marshalls and all the people of Birmingham for putting on a great Half Marathon.Date of review: October 24, 2011
In short: Beautiful sunny day in the hills of PudseyIn full: A really well organised and supported race.

text: All day today it seems that I have felt LO moving. Normally, she has a very noticeable pattern of movement and being still. Also, I've been cramping off and on today and yesterday, too. It feels like light menstrual cramping and it's even going into the tops of my thighs, but it's not super painful. Could this be BH contractions? I've tried reading up on them, but I'm still not sure. I have a doctor appointment on Thursday. Should I wait and bring this up then, or should I call?

At least a third of men surveyed in the United States in a 1999 report at least one incidence of premature ejaculation in the previous year. It may well be the most common male sexual problem. It occurs in men who are sexually inexperienced and also among those in sexual partnerships for many years.
Orgasm and ejaculation
Ejaculation is distinct from orgasm in men. While ejaculation describes the release of semen, orgasm is the subjective, pleasurable sensations which occur before ejaculation.
Before a boy reaches puberty, he can experience orgasm but does not ejaculate because the male organs are still immature. After several ejaculations, young men can experience orgasms without ejaculations during intercourse.
So, premature ejaculation becomes a non-issue for men who are concerned only with their own orgasms. In fact, in some cultures, it is considered very masculine to ejaculate very quickly.
Why does premature ejaculation occur?
Men are capable of orgasm within two minutes of initial stimulation while women usually require about eight minutes. It is, therefore, 'normal' for young, inexperienced men to ejaculate before their partners have reached orgasm. To achieve mutual satisfaction, men have to be able to time their ejaculation. Overanxiety will cause premature ejaculation in any relationship. Afterwards, the penis goes down and will not respond immediately to stimulation during the normal refractory period.
Premature ejaculation becomes a problem only when there is the persistent and recurrent absence of reasonable voluntary control of ejaculation. It is generally believed to be caused by psychological factors. Men may have had early sexual experiences where they hurried through intercourse. Sometimes, premature ejaculation presents many years into a relationship and may represent interpersonal problems in the relationship. Premature ejaculation results in disappointment, frustration and ultimately loss of self-esteem.
Medical therapy
Treatment is twofold - medications that delay ejaculation and counselling. Pharmacological agents that may be used to delay ejaculation include antidepressants and benzodiazepine anxiolytics. These are useful in the short term.
Sexual therapy
Open discussion between partners with or without the help of a therapist may resolve the problem. They can be taught simple behavioural techniques to help them manage the problem. First, the frustration of the couple is reduced by teaching them sensate-focus exercises.
These exercises teach the man not to hurry during sexual relations. Then the couple is taught to manually stimulate the penis until the man is close to orgasm. They cease stimulation whenever the man feels ejaculation is imminent. This stop-start technique is repeated several times. In another technique, the man can ask his partner to squeeze his penis firmly behind the glans whenever ejaculation seems close at hand.
Both stop-start and squeeze techniques teach the man to delay ejaculation. Eventually, the man learns to change his thoughts and mental pictures when ejaculation is imminent and thus prolong intercourse.

Prevention guidelines for BREAST CANCER
Rosalee M. Brown
The evidence is not clear, but there are drug trials which have been shown to reduce the risk of recurrent breast cancer in women. The results from the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial have also shown that women at high risk for breast cancer, who take the drug tamoxifen, lowered their risk by 45 per cent.
There are other available prevention measures which include preventative mastectomy and early detection through breast self-examination and routine mammograms.
What of nutrition
There are inconclusive studies and sometimes even conflicting ones regarding the role of nutrition in breast cancer prevention. The Women's Healthy Eating and Living study states that a "diet high in fruits, vegetables and fibre and somewhat lower in fat did not protect early-stage breast cancer survivors from further breast cancer, nor did it help them live longer than women in a comparison group'.
These findings contradict at least one other large study of diet and breast cancer risk. JAMA 2007 Jul 18;298(3): 289-98). Results from the Women's Intervention Nutrition study, a large randomised clinical trial reported in 2005, suggested that a low-fat diet helps prevent breast cancer recurrence in postmenopausal women, especially those whose cancers don't respond to oestrogen.
Another study, Low-fat Diet May Reduce Risk of Recurrence by Chlebowski et al, concluded that a low-fat diet may reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence in postmenopausal women. However, in the Women's Health Initiative, completed in 2006, researchers found only a slight, statistically insignificant reduction in breast cancer risk among women 50 to 79 who lowered their total fat intake.
Factors at play
It is very difficult to study people's diet because, for example, someone who reduces his or her fat intake may also reduce his or her animal protein intake. The same individual may also increase his or her fruit and vegetable intake. So, there are many factors at play which make it difficult to isolate positive or negative effect.
Although particular foods and nutrients have not been identified as preventative weapons in the fight against breast cancer, there is evidence for the role of diet and a healthy lifestyle in other cancer prevention. The American Cancer Society advises people to reduce cancer risk through exercising, limiting alcohol use, maintaining a healthy weight (as overweight in postmenopausal women has been linked to breast cancer), breastfeeding and avoiding postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy.
Standard nutritional guidelines holds - food has a synergistic effect on health; consume a diet from the six food groups; consume more whole plant-based foods and less processed foods; consume a little animal fat and consume large amounts of fruits and vegetables of all colours.

Early Jamaican LGBT History
Excerpt taken from an interview recorded in 2002, available in the documentary Songs Of Freedom.'When I graduated, and it was time for me to think about coming back to Jamaica, I made a conscious decision that I would come back here to contribute to nation building and all of that sort of stuff but on my own terms. /// Having met more and more people, I sort of know my way around gay Kingston, at least what there was at the time. And after I got my own apartment, of course, it became open house for a lot of gay people. If those walls could talk, if my dining room table could talk. These stories it would produce. A lot of people would have come out in my house. There has been all kind of revelations, breakdowns, emotional trauma and everything that you can think of that happen at my house. /// Sometimes after, there happen to be a club called The Closet, which was actually in the heart of New Kingston. I was going on well for quite a while and then we had the eternal problem of gay on gay violence, we had a lot of who we now refer as downtown people who would come there, would pick fights, break bottles, try to stab each other all that kind of wonderful behavior.
We started a Pen Pal club because we would have letters from all over Jamaica and all over the world, requesting Pen Pals. That was one of the most popular features that we carried in The Gaily News. I remember in particular one letter from this guy who signed his name and his address was Cornpiece District, Hayes, Clarendon. I was very trilled to know that we were reaching isolated rural people who otherwise would have no kind of contact with anything or anyone gay. And the fact that we were reaching these people, to me it prove that we were doing something worthwhile.
HIV rebounds rapidly without drugs
Antiretroviral medication suppressed HIV so well that no traces of it appeared in laboratory tests, researchers said. But scientists Beda Joos and Huldrych Guenthard found that the virus that causes Aids resurfaced with astounding rapidity as soon as patients stopped taking the drugs.
That led them to two debateable theories about the virus's ability to survive medical treatment: either it remained in the blood at extremely low levels of infection, or it built itself into a cell's DNA and waited.
The study looked at 20 patients who had been using anti-HIV medication for a long time. Researchers stopped giving the medicines for two-week periods, followed by two-months of steady treatment.
Numerous variations of the virus rapidly resurfaced between treatments. That meant anti-AIDS medication was so effective because it completely paralysed the virus, researchers said.

Interesting Letter to the Gleaner's Editor - Misreading Human Behaviour
The writer, I believe, is correct to suggest that a false "health link" argument is being used as the plank to end "discrimi-nation". The writer went off the rails, however, with two other subsequent points.
Higher health risks
First, the health authorities do suggest and have emphasised that anal sexual activity carries higher health risks and so should be avoided or mitigated by the use of condoms.
I don't know if reader S. Richards is so naive as to believe, however, that this kind of activity is exclusively male/male. The influence of pornography has presented this as an acceptable activity for men and women to engage in and anecdotal stories suggest that it does take place among heterosexual couples and may even be increasing as a practice.
Usefulness of the buggery law
Therefore, the second point made in the writer's letter about the usefulness of the buggery law is irrelevant. Does the buggery law apply to a man engaging in anal sex with his female partner? If so, when has this ever been enforced? And if not, then there is discrimination against men and is, therefore, gender-biased. Also, the existence of the law, by itself, has not stopped people from engaging in their 'kinky' activities, whatever the law says.
People often know or suspect their behaviour and, apart from snide comments or the some-times derogatory remarks, for the most part, let them be. And that is how it should be. People should not be excluded from jobs or denied access to health care (if that is happening) because of what they do in the privacy of their homes as consenting adults. Where they are violating moral laws, God will deal with them in His own way, as He does with others who violate His many other strictures.

Urgent Need to discuss sex & sexuality II
Calls for Tourism Boycotts are Nonsensical at This Time
(2014 protests New York)
Calling for boycotts by overseas based Jamaican advocates who for the most part are not in touch with our present realities in a real way and do not understand the implications of such calls can only seek to make matters worse than assisting in the struggle, we must learn from, the present economic climate of austerity & tense calm makes it even more sensible that persons be cautious, will these groups assist when there is fallout?, previous experiences from such calls made in 2008 and 2009 and the near diplomatic nightmare that missed us; especially owing to the fact that many of the victims used in the public advocacy of violence were not actual homophobic cases which just makes the ethics of advocacy far less credible than it ought to be.

Violence and venom force gay Jamaicans to hide
Violence and venom force gay Jamaicans to hide a 2009 Word focus report where the history of the major explosion of homeless MSM occurred and references to the party DVD that was leaked to the bootleg market which exposed many unsuspecting patrons to the public (3:59), also the caustic remarks made by former member of Parliament in the then JLP administration. The agencies at the time were also highlighted and the homo negative and homophobic violence met by ordinary Jamaican same gender loving men. The late founder of the CVC, former ED of JASL and JFLAG Dr. Robert Carr was also interviewed. At 4:42 that MSM was still homeless to 2012 but has managed to eek out a living but being ever so cautious as his face is recognizable from the exposed party DVD, he has been slowly making his way to recovery despite the very slow pace

What to do if you are attacked (News You Can Use)
Try to reason with the attacker: Establish communication with the person. This takes a lot of courage. However, a conversation may change the intention of an attacker.
Do not try anything foolish: If you know outmanoeuvring the attacker is impossible, do not try it.
Do not appear to be afraid: Look the attacker in the eye and demonstrate that you are not fearful.
This may have a psychological effect on the individual.
