Vitamin A supplementation at birth may increase survival of infants through one year of age by reducing mortality from infectious diseases, though current studies are not conclusive on this point. The goal of our study is to determine if supplementation of newborn infants with 50,000 IU of vitamin A improves aspects of immune function that may be impaired by vitamin A deficiency. Our underlying assumption is that supplementation may thus decrease risk of death by improving immune function and the ability to survive infections. This project will be limited to the examination of the impact of vitamin A on immune function and will not aim to determine the impact on morbidity or mortality, which would require larger sample sizes. The hypotheses addressed by this study are as follows: Provision of vitamin A supplements to newborns at risk of vitamin A deficiency will (1) improve functioning of the thymus (the source of T lymphocytes, cells of the immune system that are important in response to infection and immunization); (2) enhance T lymphocyte-mediated responses to standard vaccines given at birth and early in infancy; and (3) improve gut barrier function (i.e., ability to prevent bacterial infection across the epithelial barrier), relative to provision of a placebo.

|Efficacy of Newborn Vitamin A Supplementation in Improving Immune Function
- Thymus size measured by ultrasound [ Time Frame: through 15 wk of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Thymus size will be assessed sonographically using a validated method in which the transverse diameter of the thymus and the sagittal area of its largest lobe are multiplied to give a volume-related thymic index (TI). This index has been shown to correlate with thymus weight and has been used to show that the human thymus is sensitive to environmental influences during infancy.
- peripheral blood naive T-helper lymphocyte concentration [ Time Frame: through 15 wk of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Naive and memory CD4 T lymphocytes will be measured by flow cytometric analysis using the CD45RA and CD45RO markers to identify naive and memory CD4+ T-cells, respectively. Naive T cells develop in the thymus and their level in peripheral blood is an index of thymic function.
- T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) [ Time Frame: through 15 wk of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Thymic T-cell production can be assessed by measuring signal-joint T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) as a traceable molecular marker in newly produced naive T-cells. Thus, the content of TRECs in peripheral blood is an indicator of thymopoiesis or newly synthesized and exported naive T-cells. TREC assessment will be conducted in the stored peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from infant's blood by standard Ficoll density gradient methods.
- T-cell response to BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin; to protect against tuberculosis) and oral polio virus (OPV) immunization [ Time Frame: through 15 wk of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Flow-cytometric Assay of Specific Cell-mediated Immune response in Activated whole blood (FASCIA) will be used on peripheral blood mononuclear cells to determine the percentage of CD4+ T cells that that are responsive to the BCG and OPV vaccines given at birth (OPV is given again at 6, 10 and 14 wk of age). The BCG response will be elicited using purified protein derivative of M. tuberculosis and the OPV response using formalin-inactivated polio virus antigen (types 1, 2 and 3).
- Antibody response to oral polio virus (OPV) immunization [ Time Frame: through 15 wk of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The antibody in lymphocyte supernatant (ALS) assay will be used to assess the production of polio-specific antibody by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at 15 wk of age and the secretory IgA response to OPV will be assessed at 6, 11 and 15 wk of age by measuring antibody in stool
- T-cell and antibody response to tetanus toxoid (TT) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccinations given at 6, 10 and 14 wk of age [ Time Frame: through 15 wk of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Flow-cytometric Assay of Specific Cell-mediated Immune response in Activated whole blood (FASCIA) will be used to measure the T-cell response to TT and HBV immunization using these vaccine antigens to stimulate a response at 6 and 15 wk of age. The antibody in lymphocyte supernatant assay (ALS) will be used to measure the antibody responses to these vaccines at 15 wk of age.
- bacterial translocation to blood [ Time Frame: through 15 wk of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentrations will be measured in plasma as a marker of bacterial translocation.
- vitamin A status by modified, relative dose-response (MRDR) test [ Time Frame: through 15 wk of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]vitamin A status will be measured using the MRDR in a subset of 30 subjects in each study arm.
- bulging fontanelle [ Time Frame: 48 h after vitamin A dosing ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The crainial fontanelle will be examined by study personnel to identify "bulging" as in indication of increased intracranial volume.

Detailed Description:
This project will examine the effect of vitamin A supplementation (50,000 IU) or placebo given with BCG and oral polio virus (OPV) immunization within 48 h of birth on immune function in 300 Bangladeshi infants (150 in each group) at risk of vitamin A deficiency recruited in a poor community of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Infants will be followed from birth through 15 wk of age. Current evidence from community-based mortality trials is not conclusive but suggests that such supplementation will decrease infant mortality from infectious disease through 6 m of age. The biological mechanism underlying this potential benefit is unclear but is presumed to include improving immune function. The investigators hypothesize that vitamin A supplementation at birth prevents vitamin A deficiency during a critical window of a few days to weeks when the immune system is first exposed to both normal, non-pathogenic organisms (e.g., commensal gut flora) and to potential pathogens. During this period the investigators propose that vitamin A supplementation will improve three aspects of immune function that will have sustained benefits throughout infancy: (1) normal thymus maturation and function; (2) development and mucosal targeting of adaptive immune responses, including regulatory T-cells (Treg), T-helper type 2 (Th2) cells, and IgA-secreting plasma cells and memory B-cells; and (3) mucosal barrier function. The three specific objectives of our project are: (1) Determine if vitamin A supplementation improves thymus maturation and function as indicated by ultrasonic analysis of thymus size and by analysis of thymic output of naïve T-cells using flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood T-cells and by quantification of T-cell-receptor excision circles (TRECs) in peripheral blood. (2) Determine if vitamin A supplementation at birth alters (2.1) the T-cell response to BCG and OPV immunization assessed at 6 and 15 wk of age; (2.2) the T- and B-cell response to OPV immunization, assessed at 15 wk of age, and the secretory IgA response to OPV assessed at 6, 11 and 15 wk of age; and (2.3) the B-cell response to tetanus toxoid (TT) immunization, assessed at 15 wk of age. (3) Determine if vitamin A supplementation at birth will decrease bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentrations in capillary blood, a marker of bacterial translocation.

Updated: As of Tuesday morning, the U.S. Apple home page is displaying a Black Friday teaser page, replacing the Holiday Gift Guide page.
Original story continues below.
Apple is getting into the holiday spirit, which for the company means hinting at a big sale for this Black Friday.
Visiting the Apple online store in Australia and the U.K. opens a teaser page promoting a one-day sale.
"The one-day Apple shopping event is Friday 23 November," the teaser read.
"Get ready to give. Shop online or at your favourite Apple Retail Store. We'll help you make the most of the day, no matter how you shop."
Black Friday goes international
Attempting to go to the same page in the U.S. takes users to a Holiday Gift Guide page.
The gift guide advertises a variety of accessories for iPads, iMacs, iPhones and iPod Touches, though none of which show discounted prices. Instead, Apple is offering free shipping on all items featured in the gift guide.
The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday in the U.S., and it's considered one of the biggest shopping days of the year as retailers offer one-day discounts throughout their stores.
In the past, Apple has joined in with its own Black Friday sales, though usually only offering minimal discounts on its products.
Oddly, while deals for the U.S. shopping day are confirmed for U.K. and Australian Apple Stores, there is no indication yet from the company that the U.S. will follow suit this year.
In the meantime, U.S. shoppers in particular should keep an eye out for third-party retailers advertising Black Friday sales, which are likely to offer deeper discounts on Apple hardware than the company's own stores.

Interview with Isabel's parents elicits strong reactions
Reporter: Claire Doan
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) – The Celis family interview with local media Friday morning sparked some strong reactions from KGUN9 viewers. Many of you weighed in on our Facebook page, defending the parents and how they've approached the disappearance of their daughter Isabel in the last two weeks; others question their sincerity.
"I didn't want to be here. I don't want to be here. I don't want her here with us, sitting and I don't want to be in front of the cameras. I don't want my family to be in front of the cameras," Isabel's mother Rebecca Celis said.
Brittany Castellanos commented on Facebook: "I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter if your'e a shy person or (you don't) show your emotions. Your daughter is missing!!!"
Other viewers like Patricia O'Brien believe the parents deserve more sympathy: "I'm so sick of people telling the Celis family how they should behave and grieve. There is no CPS file on the family. No run-ins with law enforcement." ]
During the interview, Isabel's father responded to a direct question about his involvement with Isabel's disappearance.
Sergio shook his head and said, "Nothing. I really don't what to answer to that, except that they're wrong."
Some viewers saw the interview as an opportunity to gauge the parents' sincerity.
"These people have no emotion. I would be more upset if my dog went missing. I wonder if they failed the polygraph as well," posted "dbgdds."
Others though, connected with the Celis parents and their emotional plea.
"My heart goes out to them. I wish the media would not have grilled them so harshly. It's so invasive at the most horrible time in their lives," Kim Dodson wrote.
And many viewers agree with the parents that the focus right now should be on little Isa.
"People are so judgmental, it's sickening. Let's hope to God this doesn't happen to one of you," remarked Kara Potter.
Melissa Holmes said: "No one truly knows how they would react until they are in their shoes. Can everyone please come together and focus on what's important: little Isa."
So far, 13 thousand people have "liked" the two Facebook pages dedicated to finding Isabel.

If you've ever had to write an essay, article, or even a Haiku, you're probably all too familiar with the dreaded difficulty of writer's block. A similar handicap faces many of us when we attempt to get dressed in the morning. Just as writer's block can plague even the most skilled scribes, the most stylish and trend-savvy people can find themselves faced with that age-old predicament of wondering what to wear! Lack of inspiration, a dull wardrobe, or a blasé approach to current trends can put you in a sartorial rut, but luckily, dear readers, we've compiled a new installment of WWW: Styling Tips to help get you excited about your wardrobe again! Whether it's a simple way to liven up an office-ready ensemble, a sophisticated suggestion for evening ensembles, or another reason to don of-the-moment bright colors, today's story offers countless ideas that are sure to relieve your seasonal fashion doldrums. Read on to learn more about the stylish femmes who inspired us--Emma Stone, Jessica Szohr, Dree Hemingway and more!--and make sure to check out our tips on how to emulate their chic styling.
Tip # 1: Mix novelty prints for a high-impact party outfit.
For spring and summer, you really can't go wrong with an adorable printed dress; however, we're always on the lookout for refreshing ways to style this wardrobe staple. Accordingly, we were thrilled when we spotted the outfit Emily Browning wore to the W Golden Globe Party in Los Angeles earlier this year. We particularly love the way she paired Miu Miu's Printed Silk Crepe de Chine Dress ($1195, available in Pink) with the Polka Dot Sandals ($495, available in Red). The masterful mix of prints resulted in a cheery ensemble that's sure to brighten anyone's mood. To emulate her outfit, start with a patterened dress, like ASOS' Apple Print Shift Dress ($37), and accessorize with a pair of polka-dot shoes, such as Alice + Olivia's Juliet Polka Dot Canvas Platform Sandals ($245), which bear a striking resemblance to Browning's Miu Miu pair!
Tip # 2: Pair a classic Breton-stripe top with '70s-style flare jeans.
If you're searching for a versatile outfit that's perfect for any number of occasions this season, look no further than the ensemble Dree Hemingway wore to the after-party for Scream 4 in New York last month. She opted for a vintage striped top and Chloe jeans, and finished off the look with a Topshop belt, Dries Van Noten shoes, and a Stella McCartney bag. We appreciate how she took an always-in-style classic--the Breton-stripe top--and paired it with one of this season's on-trend essentials, '70s-inspired wide-leg jeans. The mix of classic and trendy elements makes for one undeniably stylish outfit! Dying to re-create this look for yourself? We suggest picking up Gap's High Rise Wide Leg Jeans ($70) and pairing them with either J. Crew/Nili Lotan's Stripe Boyfriend Sweater ($218) or American Apparel's Unisex Sailor Stripe Long Sleeve Pullover ($48) for a similar look.
Tip # 3: Balance a bright frock and lip with neutral accessories.
In case you missed our Neons and Neutrals story earlier this month, one of this season's key trends is vibrant, look-at-me color. With that in mind, we're more than happy to bring you yet another example of how to execute this look; simply consider Emma Stone your guide. The actress looked radiant in a fuschia Lanvin Off-the-Shoulder Silk-Satin Cocktail Dress with Nipped Waist (price upon request, 310.402.0580) with equally vibrant lips at the Met Gala after-party at Crown in New York earlier this month. She smartly kept her accessories--including Lanvin's Beige Leather Platforms with Crystal and Brass Studding from the S/S 11 collection, Petrol Mother-of-Pearl Miniaudiere Clutch, and Fleur Cristal Gold and Crystal Bracelets from the F/W 11 collection--neutral in order to allow her frock and lips to take center stage. Whichever vivid color you choose to wear, take a cue from Stone and pick accents in muted colors to balance your overall look. To re-create Stone's winning ensemble, try pairing Charlie Jade's Nevah Silk Dress ($128) with Mark and James' Milly Platforms ($275) and you're sure to turn heads!
Tip # 4: Liven up your wardrobe basics with a botanical-print skirt.
If you find yourself in need of a serious pick-me-up, try reaching for a botanical-print skirt to freshen up your wardrobe staples. If you need some inspiration, simply look at the outfit Karolina Kurkova wore to the Momenti de Emporio Opening Reception in New York last month. Wearing Emporio Armani's Black Tuxedo Jacket ($895, 212.339.5950), White Blouse ($375, 212.339.5950), and Palm Print Skirt ($695, 212.339.5950), the supermodel managed to make an office-appropriate ensemble look both stylish and sophisticated--a task that's not always easy to do! If you want to emulate her look, you're in luck because we've done all the hard work for you! Start with a black blazer, such as Aqua's Fitted Girlfriend Blazer ($88) or BDG's Tara Classic Blazer ($79), and simply add a floral skirt, like Leifsdottir's Lake Reflection Mini Skirt ($278) or Rag & Bone's Tiered Harley Mini Skirt ($370), and you'll have a Kurkova-inspired outfit in no time!
Tip # 5: Combine black + white lace for an elegant ensemble.
When it comes to eveningwear, lace is always a sophisticated choice, but the classic fabric can potentially look dated if styled in the wrong way. Harley Viera Newton showed us how to avoid this pitfall with her on-the-mark outfit at a Dom Perignon-hosted dinner in New York last month. She donned Valentino's Bi Color Lace Dress ($6590) and Charlotte Olympia's Mavis Wedges in Red Velvet from the F/W 10 collection, resulting in the perfect party-ready look that's a far cry from your grandmother's lace dresses! To modernize your after-dark ensemble, take a cue from Viera Newton and blend black and white lace together, and then add a pair of bright red heels. We recommend snagging Guess by Marciano's Antonise Lace Pencil Skirt ($98) and teaming it with either Free People's Scandalous Lace Top ($48) or Urban Outfitter's Vintage '80s Double Layer Lace Top ($89). Enzo Angiolini's Mavek Heels ($110) or Guess' Aleana Shoes ($110) add the perfect finishing touch.
Tip # 6: Inject some preppy-chic into a neutral look with oxford heels.
If you haven't busted your wardrobe budget yet, we suggest picking up a pair of oxford heels to complete your look this season! Jessica Szohr showed us how to wear these menswear-inspired shoes when she attended Tommy Hilfiger's Prep World Launch Party in New York earlier this month. For the occasion, she chose a slew of pieces by the American designer, including the Ribbon Applique Skirt ($348, available in Multi), Runway Boat Shoes ($298), and Gray Cashmere Sleeveless Sweater ($88, 212.223.1824). We think the muted colors of her ensemble are perfect for spring, and we especially love how her oxfords add just the right amount of New England-inspired preppy-chic! Even if you don't find yourself strolling the streets of Nantucket this season, your outfit could still benefit from a touch of prep. Accordingly, we suggest picking up either Timberland's Earthkeepers Chauncey Oxford Pumps ($84) or Oh! Shoes' Minerva Oxford Pumps ($180) pronto!--Erin Fitzpatrick

BUFFALO, NY - We have an update on one of Buffalo's newest and perhaps most adorable babies. We're talking about Luna -- the polar bear cub.
She's gone from one pound at birth to a whopping 30 pounds at 15 weeks old. Sounds like a lot, but that's nothing compared to the 600 pounds she'll end up being.
The Buffalo Zoo is hoping they can keep the cub around for years and years to come but, in order to do that, they need to build a new habitat for her to live in. That will cost around $18 million. They've raised $14 million to date, so that means another $4 million is needed.
Right now, Luna, as she's called, is drinking about 100 ounces of formula a day -- and eating a bit of meat. She's living at the zoo full time. Alice,her handler, said it was time. She's not technically out for display, but, if you visit the zoo, you can see her.

The Helper City Council gave its consent for all four applicants seeking a liquor store license at its meeting Thursday. The state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control will determine who will be awarded the license to operate the package store.
Applicants are Steve Giacoletto, Calvin Ockey, Heather Mills, and Marsha and Rufus Ellington. Giacoletto wants to operate the package agency out of his Workmen's Market grocery store. The other applicants are seeking to run the liquor outlet as a stand-alone operation.
While the city government would prefer to see the liquor outlet reopen on Main Street, it is not going to oppose the off-Main proposal.

Wilkerson Settling Into His Role in Jets Defense
The Jets defense has been in a groove in recent weeks, and a big factor in the unit tightening things up can be traced to Muhammad Wilkerson and his emergence now that he's been around the league for almost two years.
"I think I'm doing pretty good," Mo said of his progression. "The coaches helped me out this offseason, Coach Dunbar, having him here, and all the great veterans that I have on the defense and on the team as well."
The former Temple Owl said that having DL coach Karl Dunbar instruct him this season has improved his football IQ and awareness on the field.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comLast year the Jets defensive line was one of the toughest to run on in the entire league. This year with the Jets struggling to get Sione healthy, dealing with getting consistency out of their rookie and trying to get Kenrick Ellis more reps, it's been tough. After three great years of top five production from a defensive line able to stop the run, this year has been a letdown on the whole. Still, Wilkerson is a bright spot on the group and will provide the Jets another piece to build around in the coming year. The Jets will have to consider how they dole out the reps at the Nose next season, and one of the keys to stopping the run — the Jets linebackers are going to get some serious attention this offseason.
Dunbar was a great pickup and I can't wait to see how Wilkerson and Coples rachet things up even more in 2013. People weren't sure how Wilkerson would work out a year ago, and he started coming on strong at the end of his first season … I expect the same thing to happen for Coples next year and then look out for Double Trouble.

Positive Change Agents Program-Tanzania (Evaluation)

- How to Read a Study Record
The Appreciative Inquiry Change Agents (CA) program (NAMWEZA) intends to address broad societal issues by engaging HIV-positive leaders as 'change agents' in their communities. In this study, the CAs will be recruited from an HIV Care and Treatment Centre in Dar es Salaam. The Namweza program has the potential to address structural issues related to HIV risk, such as access to limited resources, through an entrepreneurial component of the program. A positive, or appreciative, focus promotes CAs to examine assets in themselves and in their networks, encourages strengthening of relationships, and facilitates planning for a positive future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
A stepped wedge randomized trial will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program for the following primary outcomes: uptake of HIV services among network members of the CAs; rate of unprotected sex and frequency of concurrent relationships among CAs and their social networks; and levels of self-esteem, general self efficacy, and risk of intimate partner violence in the CAs. Secondary outcomes include: depressive symptoms, hopefulness, and HIV-related stigma (among CAs); social support and quality of relationships (among CAs); and HIV knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy in preventing HIV transmission or re-infection (CAs and their networks).
The following are primary hypotheses that will be tested through this stepped wedge randomized trial evaluation:
- Uptake of HIV services will increase among individuals in the network of the HIV-positive Change Agents related to the intervention;
- Levels of self-esteem and general self-efficacy will increase in trained Change Agents;
- Rate of unprotected sex and number of concurrent partners will decrease (among network of Change Agents as well as Change Agents themselves; i.e. the 'study population'); and
Prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) will decrease in Change Agents.
Secondary hypotheses are:
- Prevalence of depressive symptoms and HIV-related stigma will decrease and level of hopefulness will increase in trained Change Agents;
- Levels of HIV knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy in preventing HIV transmission and re-infection among CA and their networks will increase; and
- Degree of social support and quality of relationships will improve among CA.
If the proposed intervention is found to be effective, linkages with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health and other stakeholders will enable scale-up of the program throughout the country.

Appreciative Inquiry Change Agents (CA) Program (NAMWEZA)
Behavioral: Appreciative Inquiry Change Agents (CA) program (NAMWEZA)
The intervention is based on an Appreciative Inquiry approach that comprises a 10-session program based on learning by doing rather than factual classroom type learning, although it includes discussion of relevant facts about HIV, and other STIs. The intervention is based on the template of Stepping Stones (Jewkes et al., 2008), which is internationally one of the most widely used participatory behavioral interventions targeting sexual health. The Stepping Stones curriculum was shortened and radically adapted from more than 20 sessions. However NAMWEZA borrows generously from many of the exercises and games. It also employs the successful experience of stratification by age and sex to engage 4 different working groups (younger and older, male and female).
Other Name: Positive Change Agents Program- Tanzania
Placebo Comparator: Control group
Since the design is a stepped-wedge randomized trial, those in the control group will eventually receive the intervention later in the study.

Padma Lakshmi Coffee Recipe
Stay Warm This Season With Padma Lakshmi's Cardamom Cappuccino
The dark roasted coffee; warming cardamom and nutmeg; foamy layer of milk; and crunchy, nutty bits of almonds all chime Autumn. It's rare to find a flavorful, spiced coffee that isn't syrupy sweet, yet this particular beverage doesn't rely on sugar for its flavor. I tried the beverage using almond milk and raw sugar and was surprised by how well cardamom complements coffee. Adding just a smidgeon of sugar rounds out the bitterness from the coffee, and the almond garnish gives it a nice crunch that reminds me of a peanut garnish I recently used in another coffee drink.While Padma uses an Indriya from India Nespresso pod to make this beverage, non-Nespresso U machine ($199) owners can still get a similar feel from their own brew of a dark-roasted cup of coffee with spicy flavor notes. I'm a huge fan of the Nespresso Aeroccino ($99) and use mine all the time, but if you don't have a milk frother, then simply heat the milk before adding it to the coffee. You could also top the beverage with whipped cream to achieve a makeshift frothy top.
Keep reading to learn how to brew your own cardamom cappuccino.
From Padma Lakshmi
Cardamom Cappuccino
1/2 cup regular coffee, 2 shots espresso, or 1 lungo pour (4 ounces) Nespresso coffee, such as Indriya of India, brewed
1/2 cup dairy or nondairy milk
1/2 teaspoon raw sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground green cardamom
Pinch of raw, unsalted almonds, crushed
Pinch of nutmeg
- Pour the prepared coffee into a cappuccino cup.
- In a milk frother or in a saucepan over the stove, heat milk, sugar, and cardamom.
- Pour heated, spiced milk over the coffee. Top with milk foam, if using a milk frother.
- Garnish with almonds, a tiny pinch of nutmeg, and a larger pinch of cardamom.
Makes 1 cappuccino.

|Woodlands: Food fit for a president? Try 3!
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 01 June 2007 06:45
When three former U.S. Presidents visit North Carolina, it's only appropriate to feed them barbeque.That's what the Billy Graham Evangelical Association did when presidents George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter came to Charlotte for the dedication of the Billy Graham Library. What kind of barbeque? Woodlands' Barbeque, and owner Gina Triplett could not be more excited. She considers it a great honor. While Triplett was in the kitchen and did not get to meet the presidents, she expects pictures of the men eating the cuisine to put in her restaurant.The Association contacted Triplett because Boone resident Franklin Graham, son of Billy, frequently serves Woodlands at events at Samaritan's Purse. While she has served Billy Graham before, this was Triplett's first time feeding a president- much less three.

Player Interest List v2.0 – Defensive Front Seven
While we created an earlier version of this list, in large part due to the help of Steiny, this list has absolutely exploded. Now, So look for the rest of the positional groups one by one over the next 24 hours. Make sure to thank Steiny for his hard work in the comments.
While the Jets have interviewed and scouted literally hundresd of players, here's our best attempt to come up with a list (with links to prove it) that the Jets have had some sort of extended contact with the following players.
NEW DE/OLB Jermaine Cunningham (Florida) 6-4, 266, 4.86 40yd dash
Projection: 3-4 Description: The rumor was that the Jets were one of the team's very much looking forward to seeing the projected mid-rounder's Pro Day. Some injuries and lagging numbers in his more recent seasons are causes for concern.
NEW DE/OLB Brandon Graham (Michigan) 6-2, 268, 4.71 40yd dash
Projection: 1 Description: The Jets hosted Graham for a private visit at their facility. Graham might be considered the top 3-4 DE/OLB in this class, but he is on the short side at just under 6-2.
NEW DE/OLB O'Brien Schofield (Wisconsin) 6-2, 221, 4.63 40yd dash
Projection: 7 Description: Visited with the Jets. Blew out his knee at the Senior Bowl practices. Schofield is way undersized, and would likely be a special teamer with some passing down abilities.
OLB Ricky Sapp (Clemson) 6-4, 245, 4.66 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 2 Description: Had an ACL tear in 2008 that limited his 2009 production, scouts concerned that he can only play 4-3 end (going forward not backwards).
OLB Jason Worilds (Virginia Tech) 6-1, 254, 4.49 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 3 Description: Visits scheduled with Jets and is being looked at by mostly 3-4 teams.
NEWOLB Junior Galette (Stillman) 6-2, 257, 4.77 40yd dash
Projection: UDFA Description: The Jets have "[shown]interest in Galette." Galette transfered to Stillman from Temple for a team misconduct issue. Prospect who needs to learn to play with his hand up and in coverage.
NEW LB/FB Blair Bines (Rutgers) 6-0, 259, 4.95 40yd dash
Projection: UDFA Description: Local prospect, the Jets worked out Bines at fullback and linebacker.
NEW LB Damaso Munoz (Rutgers) 5-11, 222, 4.54 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 7 Description: Jets scheduled a a visit with Munoz on March 9. Came out of same program as Jamal Westerman.
NEW LB Daryl Washington (TCU) 6-2, 230, x.xx 40yd dash
Projection: Rd x Description: Had a private meeting set up with the New York Jets.
NEW ILB Sean Lee (Penn State) 6-2, 236, 4.71 40yd dash
Projection: 2 Description: A highly touted recruit out of the Pittsburgh area, Lee is the next in the line of backers coming out of Penn State. Worked out for the Jets.
DE Chris McCoy (Middle Tennessee State) 6-3, 298, 4.85 40yd dash
Projection: Undrafted Description: Likely an undrafted player, the Jets and a number of other AFC teams did attend his pro day.
DE Sean Lissemore (William & Mary) 6-3, 298, 4.85 40yd dash
Projection: Undrafted? Description: Workout scheduled with the Jets, had metrics of 30″ vert and 9′8″ broad jump, along with 36 reps at 225. Known for his speed and obvious upper body strength, Lissemore can penetrate backfields, but would be a raw project.
DE Jared Odrick (Penn State) 6-5, 304, 4.93 40yd dash
Projection: 1-2 Description: Scheduled to visit with the Jets on 4/5. Odrick is a plus penetrator, who needs refinement on his pass rush and run stopping skills, but looks to be an impressive player at the NFL level.
NEW DE Jeffery Fitzgerald (Kansas State) 6-4, 270, 4.83 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 6-7 Description: A Combine snub, Fitzgerald met with the Jets (and Pats) at length during his Pro Day workout. He tested very well during his Pro Day.
DE Corey Peters (Kentucky) 6-3, 301, 4.90 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 3 Description: Visits scheduled with Jets and is being worked out by the Patriots too. Peters needs some coaching to play with a lower center, but has all the athletic skills to be an NFL tackle.
NEW DE Doug Worthington (Florida) 6-5, 292, 4,95 40yd dash
Projection: 6-7 Description: Worthington had a private workout scheduled with the Jets, and has impressed scouts during his Pro Day. He could be a solid run stopping linemen, but he doesn't have the skill set to be an effective pass-rusher on a play in and out basis.
NEW DE Corey Wootton (Northwestern) 6-6, 270, 4,92 40yd dash
Projection: 2-3 Description: Had a visit with the Jets. Wootton suffered a knee injury which effectively kept him from being a top 40 pick in 2009. He returned to NW for one more year, and recovered well from his injury over the course of the 2009 season.
NT Terrence Cody (Alabama) 6-4, 348 5.62 40yd dash
Projection: Late 1st Description: Saban brought Cody in, namely to be the tackle in the 3-4 system. While there's been conditioning concerns about Cody (there always are for guys this big), Cody is the protypical 3-4 DT, which is a rare find for any 3-4 team, and with more and more teams going to this front, it's getting increastingly hard to select them early in a draft. Rex Ryan himself attended this Pro Day.
DT Kade Weston (Georgia) 6-5, 315, 5.0 40yd dash
Projection: Rd 6-7 Description: Is garnering interest from 3-4 teams, had a good 40 time and and has long arms and showed well during his Pro Day DL drills.
NEW ILB Vincent Rey (Duke) 6-0, 242,
Projection: Rd 5-6 Description: Spent extensive time at his Pro Day with Jets scouting staff.
NEW DT Cordarrow Thompson (Virginia Tech) 6-2, 312, 5.19 40yd dash
Projection: UDFA Description: Jets "monitored" Thompson closely during the Pro Day. Known as a run stuffer
Analysis: Base pressure is an issue for the Jets. While Rex disguised his blitzes well in 2009, he has to want more of a push from the three "hands-down" players, along with his "front five." The Jets are looking for players who can get penetration from that base package into opponents' backfields. My guess is that the Jets are placing more of an emphasis on DL at the very top of the draft (Cody, Odrick) versus the hybrid linebackers (Worilds, Sapp) with Gholston still a ballooning question mark.

Kendall Norman won again at the Moose Run. Photography By: Mark Kariya
Red Bull's Kendall Norman backed up his round-one victory with another at round two of the AMA Hare & Hound National Championship. This one came at the Four Aces Motorcycle Club's 63rd Annual Moose Run at the Spangler Hills Off-Highway Vehicle Area outside of Ridgecrest, California, February 10.
The Honda-mounted rider had to work harder for this one, as Kurt Caselli of the FMF/KTM Factory Off-Road Racing Team slipped immediately into Norman's slipstream off the start and stayed within a few seconds for both loops of 88-mile course.
But Norman never made a mistake that Caselli could take advantage of, so the two-time and defending series champ had to settle for a close runner-up.
The leading pair's battle carried them well clear of the eventual third-placer, Nick Burson of the Purvines Racing Beta team. Unlike the first two, Burson had to come back from a poor start, but he managed to make his passes and get on the podium.
Johnny Campbell Racing Honda-supported David Kamo finished fourth, while Burson's teammate, T.J. Hannafin, rounded out the top five, his fifth place matching his round one result as he continues to learn SoCal desert racing.

Belluccia Accoutrements Font Family by Correspondence Ink
Belluccia is dedicated to Debi's mother, aunt, and uncle…all talented creative people who inspired her to become an artist. It was created with Brides and Invitation Designers in mind, though it is a great choice for any project seeking a custom hand lettered/flourished look. Debi sought to create a font that could mimic custom calligraphy at a fraction of the price.

The Desmond Campus of Mount Saint Mary College is located two
miles north of the main campus.
The property was a gift of the late Alice Curtis Desmond, a
wealthy author and photographer who lived in the mansion until her
death in October 1990. Mrs. Desmond was the widow of a former state
senator, Thomas C. Desmond. His interest in botany prompted him to
cultivate a wide variety of trees and shrubs, making the Alice and
Thomas Desmond arboretum a well-known local feature.
The Desmond Campus houses the Center for Community and
Educational Services (CCES) and accommodates special events. The
center has a computer educational center that is linked to the main
campus network.
The programs offered through the Desmond Campus support the
goals of Mount Saint Mary College in providing learning
opportunities and enrichment for residents of the greater Hudson
Valley. These are non-credit educational programs. Classes are
offered days, evenings, and Saturdays at the Desmond Campus on a
year-round basis.
CCES organizes several bus trips to arts events or historical
sites each year. The courses and instructors get rave reviews from
the students, who are very pleased at the variety of courses
offered and the quality of instruction. In the year 2009, over
2,000 people took classes at the Desmond Campus, over 700 people
went on trips, and 225 people were enrolled in the Exploritas

BUFFALO, NY-- ECMC is creating a memorial as a permanent memory of a beloved employee.
It was one year ago that ECMC secretary Jackie Wisniewski was shot and killed in a hospital stairwell by her ex boyfriend, ECMC Dr. Timothy Jorden.
Employees remembered her with a moment of silence, and created a display to raise awareness about domestic violence lines the hallways.
The hospital is also building a peace garden and this bench dedicated to Jackie will be a permanent fixture there.
"It's a tragic event but there's lessons to be learned from that event. So we wanted to forever have a place where our employees, our family, can go. And they can pray and they can collect their thoughts and it's a peace garden. And no one's better represented by that than Jackie," says Jody Lomeo, CEO of ECMC.
ECMC has also made several changes to security in the year since the tragic shooting, including security changes and efforts to raise awareness about domestic violence.

NEW YORK (AP) — Just maybe the Baltimore Orioles' remarkable run into October is not so improbable after all.
Seventeen wins in extra innings, 31 victories in one-run games. Staving off elimination from the postseason twice already.
They've done all that, and might not be done yet.
Bouncing back from a demoralizing defeat, the Orioles beat the New York Yankees 2-1 in, yep, 13 innings on J.J. Hardy's double in Game 4 of the division series Thursday night.
Now they get a chance to prove one more time that they're unflappable, in a winner-take-all Game 5 Friday.
"All these extra-inning games, all these close games. Obviously, it's fitting with the types of games we played all year," closer Jim Johnson said.
On Thursday they played past midnight, winning a test of wills with the high-priced Yankees for a chance at a spot in the AL championship series against Detroit.
Game 1 winner CC Sabathia was set to pitch the deciding game for the Yankees against Jason Hammel.
"It's time to go," Sabathia said. "This is a one-game playoff, and this is what we play for. We're here in the Bronx at home, and like I said, I'll be excited and ready to go."

Legalize it? What Measure 80 could mean for Oregon
Watch this site and KVAL News@6 on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012, for more on this story
EUGENE, Ore. - Cannabis, marijuana, pot - whatever you call it, living in Oregon we're always hearing about it.
Right now, it's considered an illegal substance unless you have a medical marijuana card.
But on Nov. 6 that could potentially change if voters pass Measure 80, the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act.
"Right now marijuana is totally unregulated," said medical marijuana user Jim Greig. "This would set up a system of distribution and regulation similar to alcohol."
Greig, who is also a member of Oregonians for Safe Access, said Measure 80 would increase public safety while creating a series of regulations around the growth and sale of cannabis.
"Right now it's easier for a high school kid to get marijuana than it is to get alcohol, this law would change that," said Greig.
According to the pro Measure 80 website, the tax act would ensure marijuana is only sold to adults over 21 and save the state money in cannabis related law enforcement and judicial costs.
"It would change the way that a lot of law enforcement agencies do business," said Sargent Carrie Carver with the Lane County Sheriff's Office.
LCSO along with the Oregon State Sheriff's Association and every other sheriff's office in the state oppose Measure 80, according to Carver.
"Basically Measure 80 would legalize marijuana and hemp in Oregon, and it's illegal federally, so there would be a conflict there," she said. "It would put our laws in conflict with other laws that we're bound to right now."
Carver said the measure would also put Oregon out of compliance with the federal Drug Free Workplace Act.
"It changes how we train our people, it changes a lot of things," she said. "How would you handle impairment levels? How would you handle driving? How would you handle you know, where people are allowed to grow? There's so many different variables."
And ultimately it will come down to Oregon voters to decide whether they want to see it legal.
"If it's going to be recreational, then let's slap a tax on it and have people pay for it just like they do alcohol and cigarettes," said Eugene voter Marilyn Ward. "I'll probably vote yes. It's just like alcohol or cigarettes. I don't approve of either one of those, but that's not the point really."
Other voters have a different opinion of Measure 80.
"I don't feel that it should be legalized and second of all," said Eugen voter Brenda Broadsword. "I would be against it because of another tax. I don't think we need another tax on anything."

By JAMES FRANKLIN RINEHARTPrice
According to the American Medical Association (AMA), at least a dozen states currently face serious medical liability crises, largely fueled by an ultra-litigious cultural mind set and jury awards jumping by more than 70 percent (to an average of $3.5 million) between 1995 and 2000. Medical malpractice insurance rates have kept pace with the ominous trend, forcing more and more physicians to retire early rather than continue coping with metastasizing annual premiums.
In Ohio, one of the states on the AMA's dire-straits list, the top eight insurers raised their medical malpractice rates by 52 percent this year alone.
In late July, Dr. Romeo Diaz a surgical oncologist in Westlake, Ohio, reluctantly informed his patients and staff that he was retiring (at age 60) due to his soaring liability insurance bill. Two years ago, the premium was $26,000. Last year, it jumped to $46,000. This year, it rocketed to $83,000 due by August 7.
Kathy Fritsch of Vermillion, Ohio has been a patient of Dr. Diaz since 1993, when she began fighting the first of two bouts with breast cancer. She describes him as "a man who I feel saved by life twice." She recently made an appointment after noticing a lump near her rib cage. When she arrived at Dr. Diaz's office on July 29, she immediately felt that something was wrong, since some patients appeared to have been crying and the staff was less cheery than usual.
Happily, the lump she had noticed turned out to be nothing more than fatty tissue. Her relief turned to dejection, however, when Dr. Diaz, with "a tear in his eye," told her that he was closing his practice.
As reported in the September 2 issue of the AMA newspaper American Medical News, "Fritsch didn't want to lose her physician, so she rallied Dr. Diaz's other patients for a common cause: They would raise $40,000 to cover the insurance increase and keep their doctor from retiring." Fritsch began contacting the news media and made the first contribution ($ 100) to the campaign.
Meanwhile, members of Dr. Diaz's staff began referring to Fritsch other patients upset by Dr. Diaz's forced retirement.
On July 31 about 60 patients, many accompanied by family members, descended on Dr. Diaz's office to show their support, leave checks, and tell their stories to reporters on the scene. Nearly $17,000 was raised that day, and nearly $ 10, 000 the next. Within a week the initial objective was not only met, but exceeded, as the total climbed to $43,900. Dr. Diaz was able to meet the premium deadline, thereby keeping his office open for at least another year.
When Dr. Diaz first learned of the project, he balked at the idea, telling a colleague that he would not accept the money. However, he eventually agreed after a friend made clear how much his patients were counting on him, and the importance of his continuing to help them. He says of Fritsch, "She just didn't want me to retire. She said, "We need you and you can't go." I never thought this kind of thing could happen. I just feel so blessed and thankful."
According to American Medical News, his patients say it was easy to give for Dr. Diaz because he is a giver himself. "The doctor doesn't charge some patients who have no insurance. Each year, he goes on a medical mission to the Philippines, where he was born, and takes drugs and supplies and performs surgeries."
The remarkable show of support for their physician, Fritsch insists, was simply "all his generosity paid back tenfold." And Tim Maglione, senior director of government relations for the Ohio State Medical Association, says that "it shows you the bond that can be created between the physician and the patients. In this case, the patients took care of their doctor."
Neither Dr. Diaz nor his supporters know what they will do should his insurance bill continue to rise next year. For now, they are backing a bill pending in the state legislature that would place a cap on non-economic awards in malpractice cases.
