Made trees hundreds of years old for superior wood quality.
An incredibly comfortable and easy-playing 3/4-size classical.
A solid cedar top and mahogany body give this beauty singing tone.
The most popular model in the celebrated La Patrie lineup of acoustic-electric classical guitars.
Top-of-the-line in every respect.
Has great dynamic range along with harmonically rich sound usually found in guitars several times the price.
A versatile nylon string guitar for any style!
A handmade classical beauty with an easy-playing neck.
The La Patrie line of classical guitars can trace its roots to a tiny luthier shop in La Patrie, Quebec, Canada. Now owned by Godin Guitars and available far beyond the confines of that quiet village, La Patrie instruments still feature tops made from select pressure-tested cedar found exclusively in previously fallen trees averaging 800 years old. The breathable finish allows the wood to age, leading to a better sound the longer you own and the more you play your guitar. Seven models are available in the La Patrie series, namely the Motif, Etude, Concert, Concert CW, Presentation, Collection and Hybrid CW. The most popular model is the Etude, which features wild cherry wood for the back and sides, a mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The full, rich sound and exceptional range of dynamics make this the perfect classical guitar for beginning and intermediate level players.
The Hybrid CW is a nylon-stringed acoustic-electric instrument for the musician who's looking for a classical feel without being limited by tradition. The unique fingerboard provides more comfort and allows faster playing than most classical fingerboards, while the cutaway body provides easier access to the upper frets.
For something really special, take a look at the Collection. Built by only the most experienced luthiers in Godin's acoustic studio, this is La Patrie's top-of-the-line instrument. The solid rosewood back and sides provide a level of warmth and resonance you'd expect from classical guitars in a much higher price bracket. The neck profile is thinner than most nylon-stringed guitars, providing an exceptional level of comfort for your hand.
Because their line is solely focused on classical guitars, La Patrie is able to create refined instruments of the highest quality. And every model of their nylon string guitars is completed with a detailed rosette and lovely cream binding for a beautiful appearance to match.

LaSalle County Generating Station employees and the company continued their tradition of generous community support by raising $198,000 in its annual United Way Campaign.
MARSEILLES, IL. (Feb. 20, 2009) - LaSalle County Generating Station employees and the company continued their tradition of generous community support by raising $198,000 in its annual United Way Campaign.
LaSalle Station employees have a long tradition of supporting their community and this year they again participated through the company's payroll deduction program. Their donations will go to several local United Way chapters, including Eastern LaSalle County, Fox Valley, Illinois Valley, Grundy County, Metropolitan Chicago, Pontiac, Streator, and Will County.
"LaSalle Station has truly embraced the spirit of giving over the past several years," said Shelli Ocepek, executive director, United Way of Eastern LaSalle County. "The United Way depends on donations, along with the hours of volunteerism from local businesses and individuals. I know I speak on behalf of the entire community by saying we are grateful for LaSalle's continued support."
The station also raised $8,900 in raffles associated with the campaign. The money was divided and donated to these organizations: We Care of Grundy County, LaSalle Food Pantry, Seneca Food Pantry, Coal City Food Pantry, Wenona Food Pantry, Joliet Hospice, Guardian Angel Home in Joliet, Streator Unlimited and the ADV / SAS shelter.
"Our company and employees understand the value of partnering with local organizations to make our communities a better place to live," added Dan Enright, LaSalle site vice president. "I am extremely proud of the generosity displayed by all of the people here at LaSalle."
In addition to the $198,000 raised by employees in its annual campaign, LaSalle Station is the signature sponsor of the United Way of Eastern LaSalle County's Labor of Love event, which is a one-day home improvement blitz.
LaSalle County Generating Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces more than 2,200 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes. In addition to its United Way Campaign, in 2008 the station donated $69,000 to a wide range of local organizations, including charitable contributions to help LaSalle and Grundy Counties improve environmental, educational and recreational initiatives within local communities.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 480,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

ATHLETE of the WEEK
Jason Davol
Davol was Hendricken's lone individiual champion at this weekend's state meet, taking the title at 106. That helped the Hawks to the team championship, the program's first since 2004.
"I had to score first and keep up a good pace throughout the whole match," Davol said. "It felt really good. That was the second goal for me. First was the team. Second was for me to win the individual championship."

RK Quick Acceleration Chain and Sprocket Kits Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R / ZX-636
RK Quick Acceleration Chain and Sprocket Kits are a balance of maximum performance and durability. These hassle free kits make it easy to increase acceleration by replacing your 530 or 525 chain and sprockets with a light weight 520 chain and sprockets. Each kit is tailored to be bike specific with either a cut-to-length XSO or GXW chain. This results in reduced rotating mass as well as crisper throttle response, making these RK kits a great upgrade!
The 520XSO chain features RK's proprietary "RX-Ring" seal design. Viewed in cross-section, the RK "RX-Ring" has two lubrication pools and seal points versus the single seal point/pool design of a regular o-ring chain. RK chains offer quality, performance and unbeatable value for all but the most demanding high performance applications.
Note: Image for reference only. Actual sprockets may vary slightly depending on your make and model.
Have a functionality, fit, or otherwise product-specific question about the RK Quick Acceleration Chain & Sprocket Kit Kawasaki ZX6R/ZX636 2005-2006? Ask it here! If you have a customer service or shipping question, please direct it to our Customer Service department.

GothmomPuerto RicoHairBlackDry HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairNot For MeMy hair is wavy, not too thick/not too thin (I'm Latin) and it was severely damaged after 3 color removal procedures (Color Fix, Color Oops and Effasol...ouch!), so you can imagine the condition, lots of breakage, severe dryness, straw-like texture, and about five different colors. I tried intense deep conditioning in hopes of saving my poor hair. Everything from good quality reconstructors, masks, olive oil treatments, you name it. To cover up the mess of colors i dyed it med. ash brown. Right after the dyeing my hair, since it was more chemical damage (though the product i used promised to leave your hair in better condition) i went ahead and used this. Like the one star rating says: Yuck! that's how my hair felt. Sooo dry, awful texture, i couldn't run my hands though it, it was so tangled. No matter how many leave-in's, including Moroccan Oil (not worth the money btw) i put in my hair it would not soften at all. Now, i didn't see the word "protein" or the common protein ingredients we know: keratin, wheat, soy, milk, etc. so i don't know if any of the chemical name of the ingredients could be protein but i found out that my hair is protein sensitive, so I don't know about that. I washed my hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove this and any other product residue and used a good moisturizing conditioner, and my hair was soft again. Not saying it's a bad product, just my personal experience with it.

Does anyone else suspect,
that this forum's sudden loss of activity over the last year or so,
might be related to "updates" of the format?
General announcements, news or ideas concerning people, places, or events coming up. No technical, politics, or complaints. Try to keep it short.

Yeah, that guy. If his departure did lead to a fall off of board activity, as it seems to me, then I can only guess that many have gone elsewhere for their regularly scheduled soap opera fix.
He was a really smart guy and I kind of miss him; but of course in my own case I would prefer to call it entertainment appreciation than to admit that I too was susceptible to the soap opera aspect of it all.

"MIB3 nakedly ripped off our country's patented technology," iGeek said via a Chinese social networking site.
Described as "an exquisite specimen of Chinese workmanship", the colorful analog bike was discovered back in 2007 in Qingdao, and it's stamped with the following phrase in Chinese: "Patented Product. Unique in the World."
By unique in the world, perhaps the invented means existing outside of China since the 19th century and in popular culture since then. That explains how this Chinese inventor got this monowheel: TIME TRAVEL.

Bart passed away just before midnight last night. He was already frail from his condition, but went rapidly downhill after a minor operation over the weekend.
I was lucky enough to have known him for over 30 years, and I've never met anyone who had a bad word to say about him. A truely decent man.
Look back on his posts and celebrate his wit and good humour, and be glad to have known such a person.
Goodbye old friend.

Wild West Wildlife, Landscapes and Development for Conservation
The Wild West Project is a collaboration between the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) to support biodiversity conservation and improve natural resource management in northern and western Uganda.
The Wild West Project:
- Improves the quality and quantity of environmental education taught in schools;
- Increases local community awareness about conservation and the plight of great apes and other endangered wildlife communities;
- Increases the capacity to monitor great ape health and to carry out interventions in target populations;
- Establishes mechanisms to advance disease detection, control and prevention in great ape populations; and
- Improves access to health care for human communities living around the Budongo Forest Reserve.
Uganda is one of the most biologically diverse countries in Africa. Much of the country's biodiversity is concentrated in the forests in the west of the country. Unfortunately, over the past century, the country has suffered massive forest degradation and deforestation as a result of logging and agriculture.
The forests are under increasing threat from growing commercial demands and from rural communities whose high levels of poverty make them dependent on forest resources for their livelihood. This rampant poverty is accompanied by rapid population growth, which often leads to the unsustainable use of natural resources by those trying to survive.
In addition to mounting pressure on the great apes' forest habitat, the threat of disease transmission between chimpanzees and humans constitutes an ongoing threat to the species' survival in the wild. Hunting in the country also continues to threaten the long-term survival of chimpanzees. Hunters use snares and "man traps" in order to catch animals such as wild pigs, duikers and other ungulates. However, since these traps are not selective, non-target species such as chimpanzees often get trapped and injured or killed as a result.
JGI's Strategy in Uganda
JGI's strategy in Uganda is to ensure long-term conservation and protection of chimpanzees through empowering and enhancing national and local institutions to become effective custodians of this endangered great ape. This is achieved through implementing an array of activities that focus on three major areas: conservation education, habitat protection and chimpanzee welfare. The first two areas not only support the conservation of chimpanzees but of many other species as well.
Key Project Activities:
- Hold training workshops in environmental education for primary school teachers;
- Develop, pilot and supply environmental education teachers' guides to schools;
- Establish a mobile veterinary unit for carrying out field monitoring and interventions;
- Develop a cadre of wildlife veterinarians in the field of great ape health;
- Establish a collaborative agreement between various stakeholders on the long-term health monitoring of chimpanzees; and
- Implement a monitoring program with emphasis on disease transmission between great apes and humans in the Budongo Central Forest Reserve of Uganda.
- Produced and distributed 10,000 copies of elementary school teachers' resource books, which integrate environmental education messages into each subject;
- Printed and distributed 60,000 environmental educational posters in 11 districts;
- Recruited and trained seven veterinarians and established a mobile field veterinary unit;
- Renovated five health centers that provide medical services to more than 80,000 community members living near the Budongo Central Forest Reserve;
- Installed solar lights and five solar fridges in renovated health centers to provide light for health workers so they can provide medical services at night and vaccinate communities against diseases as measles, TB, DPT and polio – all of which are transmittable to chimpanzees;
- Reached community members in more than 41 villages with educational and awareness-raising messages on diseases such as HIV/AIDs, malaria, Ebola, whopping cough, measles, sleeping sickness, pneumonia hepatitis B, diphtheria and polio. The campaigns were geared toward improving health and preventing wildlife/human disease exchange.
- Printed and distributed 30,000 posters and 30,000 leaflets on HIV/AIDs and malaria;
- Reached 740+ Budongo forest community members with educational messages on conservation, forest, wildlife, soil, water, waste management, health and sanitation; and
- Printed and distributed 40,000 posters about tree, water, soil and biodiversity conservation.
This project is made possible by the generous contributions and support from the American People through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Wildlife Conservation Society, the Jane Goodall Institute-Canada, the Jane Goodall Institute-Holland, the Jane Goodall Institute-Australia, Uganda Wildlife Education Center, Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust, and the Budongo Conservation Field Station.

Angela D.Hair Breakage As Hair Grows OutI'm an African American woman growing out her short tresses for the past three years. I go to the salon for regular coloring and trimmings but my hairdresser has advised me that my hair needs to be cut short again because of its continuous breakage in the middle of my head. Not to mention I have a really fragile hair line. The problem is that we do not know why its breaking. For three years we have gone back and forth on what it could be. Ie-my hairdresser believes the biggest culprit is my sun hat. My occupation is one that requires me to work outside and with my skin being so extremely sensitive, its a must have to keep from suffering. I regularly treat my hair at home with warm olive oil, deep conditioners, special oils, great sulfur free shampoos and conditioners. I wear a silk scarf beneath my hat so as not to cause friction, and I maintain a healthy diet with a lot of water intake. Also I've been to the doctor to check for thyroid problems, taken blood test and have been administered special vitamins for hair health. I'm even taking a hormone pill called spiroldactone which is suppose to assist in the growth process of the hair.
So I'm confused,,, What am I doing wrong and can this product help me with my breakage! I'm always so nervous and intimidated by my hair dresser because she insist that short hair is my thing. Basically she's one step away from telling me she will not do my hair anymore if I don't let her cut it off. I love short hair, but I also like the versatility long hair can bring.
If anyone see's this and can relate please respond. I would so much like to hear from you! And please by all means let me know if the Keratin product does what is suppose to.
Thank You,

LizSplit EndsI have very very bad split ends. I really like the length my hair is right now and don't want to have to cut so much of it off because of my split ends. A lot of products just say they will prevent the split ends; I haven't found one that will repair them yet. So, will it actually repair rather than prevent the split ends?3 out of 4 shoppers thought this post was helpful.

KbNYProds For Split EndsLiz, I'm not sure about this product in particular, but to mend split ends, Ted Gibson recommends Aveda Brilliant Humectant Pomade- rub in hands and apply to hair in sections. If you use a lot of heat on your hair, and that is the reason for your splits, Tabitha from Bravo recommends Joico Split End Mender - work it through damp or dry hair. I've never tried either of these prods before- I was just watching Dr. Oz one day and Tabs and Ted were on with hair solutions. I don't know that anything can literally mend your split ends once they get really bad. It seems to me like the products just keep them from looking raggedy but I'm no expert. I think you should at least cut a half inch to an inch off because once your splits unravel to such a high point on your hair it prevents your hair from being healthy and, at least in my experience, from growing any further. Also deep condition and avoid shampoos and conditioners that simply coat your hair to cause shine (like Pantene) because that will worsen your problem.
Here is what Doc Oz said about splits: hair is made up of shingles and when the cuticles crack, the hair can unravel. At this point, it is too late to turn back and cutting off the split ends is the best solution. But when you don't want to chop your hair, the products mentioned above can help.

Megan P.MeganThere's no way to "fix" split ends other than to prevent them from getting worse. Split ends happen when the end of your hair shaft actually breaks in half -- even if you could go strand-by-strand gluing the hairs back together, there wouldn't be a point as your hairs are already damaged. So, get a good trim and heat-style less to prevent it from getting worse.

Women's Hiking Shoes
- 4 Items
- 4 Items
Many modern hikers are trading in their traditional mid-cut leather hiking boots for lightweight, low-cut hiking shoes. This may not be appropriate for extreme terrain or heavy pack weights, but backpacking and hiking in light hiking shoes can be much more comfortable than wearing heavy boots! Experienced hikers claim that every pound on your feet equals five pounds in your pack, so keeping your footwear light will help you feel better after a long day on the trail. In addition to being more comfortable and breathable, in many cases, than hiking boots, hiking shoes usually don't require a "break-in period" like leather boots always did, and are less blister-prone. If you need the extra ankle support or stability, however, don't be shy about using a full hiking boot instead of a hiking shoe. Hiking shoes (or "multi-sport shoes") are sometimes mistakenly thought of as being "just for day hikes," but many ultralight backpackers and thru-hikers use them exclusively. In fact, hiking shoes usually have most of the same features as clunkier boots, like Gore-Tex waterproof linings and high-traction Vibram soles... and they definitely have a more feminine look. There are quite a few brands available, including Keen, Merrell, The North Face, Vasque, Asolo, Five Ten, Salomon, and more. When selecting the right pair of hiking shoes for you, fit is a primary concern. At Rock/Creek, our employees are shoe-fitting experts, and we love helping our customers find the right pair of hiking shoes... and then hearing about their adventures afterward!
The products in the Women's Hiking Shoes category have an average rating of 4.4 of 5 from 25 customer reviews.

|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 10 June 2011 08:03
Quarterback Terrelle Pryor is the man in the spotlight at the moment.Wherever he goes, the questions abound concerning his five-game suspension from the NCAA for receiving illegal benefits, foregoing his senior year at Ohio State and his professional-football-playing career. Well, Pryor answered one of those questions on Thursday.
No, he will not be going up north to play for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Footbal League. Apparantly, the Riders who own his negotiating rights in the CFL, didn't make their offer appealing enough. So Pryor had decided to stay put.
He also announced on Thursday that he will no longer cooperate with the NCAA and their on-going investigation of the Ohio State football program.
Thursday's decision also leaves Pryor with three options, either sign with a team in the United Football League, wait until the NFL lockout ends and make himself available for the NFL Supplemental Draft, or just sit out the season and get himself ready for the NFL draft in April of 2012.
Pryor had a stellar career with the Buckeyes. He led them to three Big Ten titles and was 31-4 during his tenure. And Ohio State's career rushing leader among quarterbacks with 2,164 yards, also is ranked fifth in the school's record book for passing yards with 6,177. And his 57 touchdown passes matches the Ohio State mark also held by Bobby Hoying.
The NCAA is investigating the entire Ohio State program, in particular allegations revolving around cash and other improper benefits and sweetheart deals on cars. Pryor has been a lightning rod during the investigation, admitting he had dealings with the tattoo-parlour owner, concerning trading signed equipment, championship rings and other memorabilia for cash and discounted tattoos.

Submission Should developers support Windows Phone 8?-> 1
Un pobre guey writes: Why should you develop apps for Windows 8? Well, the hype and flogging are apparently in full swing. From TFA: "To be clear, Windows Phone 8 is not a slam dunk. Some, such as IDC, believe Windows Phone will eclipse iOS by 2016. Others though believe the trajectories of Android and iOS can't be slowed in the next few years. Nonetheless, I think a bet on Windows Phone 8 is justifiable, even wise, since anyone who purchases a new Windows Phone 8 device likely will want to load it with the latest and greatest apps."

LINCOLN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Town leaders will have to make a big decision next Monday night, as to whether they will pass a revised budget to make up for a massive shortfall.
Town officials say an audit last June showed there were errors in Lincoln's current budget for the fiscal year 2012-2013, which is in effect from last July through the end of next June. Essentially the town is collecting $1 million less in revenue than it needs to fund current town services.
Town officials blame the accounting error on the computer program used to prepare the budget. Councilors in Lincoln asked staff to find a way to fill the $1 million shortfall without raising property tax rates. Officials say they were able to do that by trimming town departments by about $70,000 each and putting off paving projects in the town until next year.
"Until we get this budget adopted, we can't send out tax bills," said William Lawrence, who is acting as Lincoln's interim town manager, "without tax bills going out we have no revenue going into the town so this is our next step is to get this new budget adopted."
A public hearing will proceed the council's vote on the budget next Monday night. At that hearing residents will have the chance to voice their concerns before town leaders make a decision. It will take place at 7 p.m. at the Lincoln town office.
Town officials say they will look at other ways to prepare the budget in the future to prevent this kind of problem from happening again.

Dick Monroe lay down to rest after an exhausting day in August 2009.
On the surface, it was the end of what he would consider a perfect day. He watched his daughter Abby play in the Can Am Softball Shootout as a member of the Renegades, one of the areas elite travel teams.
Then he hosted one of his signature chicken barbecues at his home on Reasoner Road with all of the team members and their families.
But when Monroes head hit the pillow, his mind drifted to his impending departure to New York City for surgery to remove oral cancer.
Abby then sat by her dad, and he turned to her and said, This was our magic season.
Monroe thought at the time that summer might be his last.
Doctors told him there was a greater than 50 percent chance that it could indeed be his last.
But four years later, the Monroe family is at work on softball and baseball fields around the northeast, preparing for their next magic season.
I think (softball) probably helped save his life, said Robin Monroe, Dicks wife. It gave him something to live for, it gave him something to focus on other than his illness, and it gave him a lot of strength. And, it gave us an outlet so that we didnt have to think about the cancer all the time. It gave us all something to look forward to. It was a way to get away from here and a way to escape from the cancer for the whole game because youre really into that particular game. I think it probably saved his life and probably kept our sanity.
As a child, baseball was Monroes way of fitting in as he moved from town to town. By the time he got to Saranac Lake as a 9-year-old in the early 1970s, his family had already relocated 11 times.
After joining the U.S. Army on a full-ride ROTC scholarship right out of Cornell University, Monroe found himself stationed at Fort Drum. At the age of 28, he decided to get out of the military and start a family with Robin. He also started to pitch for the Watertown Athletics semipro baseball team.
His three children daughters Chelsea and Abby along with son Richard Jameson, RJ for short were born, raised and still reside in the Dexter area. But the game was just as big a part of their childhood.
Within three years of his As career, Monroe had essentially become the teams general manager, taking care of day-to-day operations and even dipping deep into his own pocket to help finance the organization. He and Robin also gave birth to their two daughters, who both remember growing up around the As at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
RJ was born near the end of his fathers eight-year tenure with the As.
Whenever I would hang out with my dad, thats what we do. Play catch or whatever, when I was younger, I grew up on the baseball field basically, Chelsea Monroe said.
We spent a lot of time watching him play baseball over at the Fairgrounds, sitting in the dugout, playing in the gravel, looking for baseballs under the bleachers, Abby added.
Chelsea and Abby started playing T-ball soon after and were coached by their father. Chelseas first memory was getting her face bloodied by a ball, and Abby was so upset about grounding out in her first at-bat that she spent the rest of the season sitting on her dads shoulders in the dugout.
All three kids ventured into other sports like tae kwon do, gymnastics, basketball and football.
But it always came back to baseball. By the time the girls were old enough, travel softball would come to dominate the Monroe family summers.
And they wouldnt have it any other way, especially in 2009.
Near the end of summer in 2008, Dick Monroe began to notice a canker sore on his tongue. Having already been diagnosed with testicular cancer and multiple sclerosis within the last decade, Monroe hoped it was harmless and would eventually go away.
I remember feeling scared, backed up against a wall. Part of me was in denial, Monroe said. I did not want to say anything to anyone, because the moment I did that, it all became real. So I hoped and prayed that it was just a bad canker sore, but that hope was fading fast.
After telling his wife Robin, a registered nurse, he went to urgent care and after a plethora of tests and visits to specialists, was diagnosed again with cancer stage two, maybe stage three squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue.
Monroe attributed the mouth cancer to a lifelong habit of chewing tobacco, which he picked up on the ball field.
Doctors told Monroe that his situation was deadly serious and he was in a fight for his life.
His options were surgery, which would involve Monroe losing his tongue and never being able to eat or speak again. The success rate of the procedure, he was told, is less than 50 percent.
He opted instead to seek radiation treatments and chemotherapy.
That fall, Dick and Robin informed their kids of what was to come, and continued to support their softball schedule. The girls played fall travel ball, which included four tournaments and weekly practices on Sundays. They were each taking private lessons at this point, too, which their father would take them to when he was able.
It was what kept me going, kept us going, gave us a focus and an outlet outside of cancer and all of our darkest fears, Dick Monroe said.
By February 2009, Monroe finished chemo and radiation. He began to gain weight and went back to work for Jefferson Countys Dept. of Social Services.
But the cancer returned that spring and Monroes only option was to have the surgery that he so dreaded.
Monroe said three things drove him to give in to the surgery. The first was a long talk with his wife in which they shared their fears. The second came in the form of a plea from RJ.
Monroe said that when he asked his son 10 years old at the time how he was adjusting to the illness, his reply struck a chord.
Dad, I dont want to adjust to it. I just want it out of you, RJ said.
Then Monroes co-worker, Laura Cerow, told him of a family member who successfully underwent the same surgery and gave him contact information for a surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Treatment in New York City.
After some meetings, a surgery date of Aug. 7, 2009 was set.
Monroe said that during that summer, he lived tournament-to-tournament, counting the days in between.
Chelsea played on the day of her fathers surgery.
Being able to play softball while he was having his surgery was really a good escape for me, Chelsea Monroe said. I think it helped me get through it, being able to play travel ball and get away. Thats really how I dealt with it playing softball. I still feel that to this day, when I play, stepping out on the field is such an escape.
Abby was also wrapping up her travel ball season. She said that her bond with her father grew immensely that summer as they would talk softball on the many rides back and forth to Syracuse for private lessons.
It helped keep my mind off of (the cancer), because its not something you want to think about all the time, Abby Monroe said. So with school and especially softball, I was so busy I was able to keep my mind off it.
I feel like it got him through it, too, because he had something to do, something to look forward to, she added.
The Can Am Shootout in 2009 was Dick Monroes final tournament before the surgery. At the barbecue that followed, the Renegades presented the family with cards, gift certificates, and a softball for Dick that included every players signature. That ball rests on his mantle to this day.
That was the biggest thing that helped us get through that, because they were so supportive and whenever we would go to softball, it was like for a minute, you got to put all that stuff behind, you didnt have to think about it, Chelsea Monroe said. And he would go down, help with the team and talk with the parents.
Chelsea, who graduated from General Brown High School the following June, opted to stay home to play softball for Jefferson Community College and help the family during the recovery process following the successful surgery.
She kind of took control of Abby and RJ for me and really helped out, Robin Monroe said. It was hard for her because shes really my most emotional child. So she really held it together and was really there, if I needed help or if I needed a shoulder, she was always there.
Dick has since fully recovered and although his speech and eating habits were affected by the surgery, he is still able to do both, as well as watch both daughters soaring softball careers.
Chelsea went on to capture JCCs career record with 52 stolen bases, and the single-season mark with 38 in her second year. She was the Mid-State Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Year, made the NJCAA Region 3 first team and was named an NJCAA Academic All-American. She also received the Pinnacle Award for Academic Excellence by virtue of finishing with a 4.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale.
I wouldnt change (my decision to stay), definitely not. It helped me grow up so much and really put me exactly where I am now and I wouldnt change it for anything, she said.
Abby, meanwhile, was excelling at General Brown High School as a left-handed pitcher and switch hitter. She made the Times All-North second team as a junior and was on the first team as a senior in 2012.
RJ was also getting what his father calls the itch, at this time and was entering the early stages of his baseball career.
Chelsea and Abby both committed to Utica College to play on the same team for only the second time since T-ball.
The two left home last fall with hopes of merely getting some playing time.
They ended up having two of the best individual seasons in the history of the program, leading Utica to its first conference championship and tournament title.
Chelsea tied the school record with 10 home runs. She hit for a .362 batting average, drove in 38 runs (fourth all-time), and slugged .714 percent (fifth all-time). She was named the Empire 8 Conference Player of the Year and was a first-team ECAC Upstate All-Star. All this after switching from being a lifelong infielder to the outfield, and not cracking the starting lineup until the team was 12 games into the season.
Abby quickly became the teams pitching ace and tied a school record with 19 wins and held opponents to a .239 batting average, ranking second in program history. She posted a 2.42 earned-run average, 94 strikeouts, 11 complete games and four shutouts in 130 innings pitched. She fired a no-hitter in the Empire 8 Tournament to lead the team to its first ever conference tournament title. She was also named to the ECAC Upstate All-Star first team.
RJ spent the spring playing junior varsity baseball as an 8th-grade call-up at General Brown.
He, like his sisters before, is now traveling to Syracuse every Sunday morning with his father to receive private lessons, talking baseball and whatever else may come up along the way.
The Monroes are spending this summer doing what they do best playing ball.
The family has traveled just about every weekend to Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and several other places, often times splitting up into two cars to get to different tournaments and meeting up when they can.
Chelsea has been preparing for her final collegiate season coming next spring. Her goal is to become a Division III All-American.
Abby is in her final summer of 18-and-under travel ball, and has three years of eligibility left at Utica to top her outstanding freshman campaign.
RJ is playing, too, preparing to enter high school and either another season of JV or getting called up to varsity. He will also play football and basketball for General Brown.
Robin finally has some time to just relax and enjoy the traveling, watching her kids play and socializing with other parents.
And Dick Monroe is there cancer free to be a part of it all.
Its just a different kind of feeling now, Chelsea Monroe said. When you play, its not just because you love the sport, its more like, I dont really know how to put it into words, but its like our bond, I guess. For all of us we play, Dad loves it and takes us there, and Mom loves watching the games.

Now that you mention it, this is a good opportunity for me to thank the mods for all the hard work that you do. There really is no other message board like this on the internet that I've found so far and a lot of that can be attributed to the rep system IMO. Believe me, I've been searching for a Bengals board half the quality of this one for years without success.
So Boss, GIK, Chip, Zombie, Reds4Life, paintmered, ochre, macro, joseph, and everyone one else on this board: Thank You!
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
If anything, the rep system could use another tweak since there are so many more people now in the 1k+ rep range -- about 10-12 positive votes from longtime ORG members is enough to give someone the bump now.
And I'll second the thanks to the mods -- I've been coming to RZ for 2+ years now, and its the best moderated web board I've ever been to. The mods do a fantastic and non-intrusive job. It makes for a fantastic community of Reds fans. Thanks to all the mods (and Boss / GIK), for all you guys do.

Evaluation and Long-Term Follow-up of Patients With Inflammatory Disorders
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will investigate inflammatory diseases and disorders. Inflammation is the body s immune response to many things, including infections and other acute or chronic irritants. It may also be a sign of abnormal immune function. This study will allow evaluation and long-term follow-up of such disorders to:
- Establish and maintain a group of patients that may be eligible for other NIAID protocols.
- Provide clinical training and experience for NIAID fellows.
- Provide a mechanism for NIAID staff to maintain their clinical skills.
- Serve as a starting point for new investigations of syndromes not currently under study.
Patients between 1 and 80 years of age with acute or chronic inflammation, including but not limited to viral, fungal or bacterial infections, or abnormal immune responses may be eligible for this study. Immediate family members of patients may also be enrolled for preliminary examination to see if they are affected in any way that may warrant further investigation.
All patients and family members will have a history, physical examination and laboratory tests. Depending on the results, family members may require additional tests. Patients will have additional diagnostic tests indicated for their specific disease, according to accepted medical standards. These may include routine blood and urine tests, X-rays or other imaging studies, body fluid or tissue cultures, skin tests for allergic or immune responses, and others as needed.
Treatments will include only medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration according to accepted dose schedules and delivery methods.
Patients may be requested to donate extra blood for research studies. No more than 450 cc (30 tablespoons) will be drawn from adults within a 6-week period, and no more that 7 cc (1/2 tablespoon) from children under 18 years of age in the same time period.

|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Evaluation and Long Term Follow Up of Patients With Acute or Chronic Inflammatory Disorders
- Evaluation of patients [ Time Frame: at all visits ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|February 1993
Inflammatory disorders, including but not limited to those caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, and those associated with aberrant immunologic responses are exceedingly common acute and chronic disorders affecting humans. The pathogenesis of these various disorders are being investigated under a number of NIAID clinical research protocols. This protocol is an evaluation and long-term follow protocol of such disorders for the purposes of maintaining a group of patients on which LCID investigators draw for our other various protocols. The patients admitted under this protocol also provide training and experience for members of the NIAID infectious diseases and allergy and immunology fellowship training programs as well as to provide a mechanism for the members of the Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases to maintain their clinical skills. It is anticipated that the patients will receive a degree of clinical evaluation, care and monitoring more extensive than that generally available and that specimens collected from them can sometimes be used for laboratory studies related to inflammatory conditions. Also, this protocol may serve as a start point to studies of syndromes or diseases not being addressed by specific protocols, and therefore, can be used to evaluate family members of patients with inflammatory conditions when appropriate in order to try to understand further the disease before embarking in a specific protocol.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|2 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Males and females ages 1 year to 80 years are eligible.
Inflammatory conditions associated with, but not limited, to acute and chronic infections or presumed infections, and congenital or acquired immunologic disorders.
If appropriate, immediate family members of patients with inflammatory conditions may be evaluated under this protocol, as a preamble to see if further investigation is warranted, what would be done under a specific protocol.
Willingness to participate in clinical protocols when appropriate.
Subjects must maintain a private physician for non-protocol related medical complaints and for emergency medical treatment required for these or other of their disorders.
Willingness to provide tissue samples for studying immune dyregulation and for genetic analysis.

Three area schools, Creekview Elementary, Castle Valley Center and Pinnacle Canyon Academy, received their Gold Medal School Bronze Level medal this month for their efforts to build a tradition of health.
The cornerstone of Gold Medal Schools (GMS) is the Gold Medal Mile, a route usually walked by students every day. Together with the rest of the Gold Medal Schools statewide, the three schools this year walked a total of more than 200,000 miles, or almost six times the distance to the moon and back.
"Gold Medal Schools is now in its fourth successful year throughout the State of Utah. The Price schools joined the program this year and the students show no signs of stopping. They have not only made their schools a healthier place, but their teachers and parents are also adopting healthier behaviors as a result," said Dave Cunningham.
This spring more than 140 schools are receiving Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Gold PLUS medals for their participation in GMS. More than 76,000 students will be honored in special assemblies across the state for their participation in the program.
Each school receives a plaque and a check to use for physical education equipment or resources for tobacco prevention. Now in 35 of Utah's 40 school districts, GMS encourages schools to establish policies that help both students and teachers to eat healthy, be physically active, and avoid tobacco.
Policies include allowing students at least 90 minutes of physical activity per week, promotion of a safe route to school policy, and a policy mandating a tobacco-free school.
This year, 25 schools reached Bronze level; 11 schools reached Silver; 44 reached Gold; 48 reached Gold PLUS Phase One; and eight reached Gold PLUS Phase Two.
Southeastern Utah District Health Department in conjunction with the State Health Department is in the process of recruiting more elementary schools to the Gold Medal School Program.
"We'd love to see all of our elementary schools involved with GMS. The program encourages Utah school children to learn healthy behaviors they can carry over into adulthood. Research consistently shows that children who participate in regular physical activity and eat nutritiously have higher academic scores." said Jessie Huff, program coordinator.
Earlier this week, GMS announced a major new partnership with Intermountain Health Care to expand into all Utah elementary schools and eventually middle and junior high schools as well. IHC will provide approximately $1.5 million to GMS over the next five years in conjunction with the new partnership. GMS is also a part of the A Healthier You Legacy Awards Program, a health challenge established during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The program is offered to worksites, schools, communities, and college campuses. Each group may qualify for awards by introducing policies to improve opportunities for physical activity, nutrition, safety, and preventive health screenings.

NORFOLK - The 60-year-old Norfolk man whose actions led school officials to lock down their buildings Friday morning posted a $100,000 bond Saturday and was released from custody.
Massena-based state police charged Steven R. Wells with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, first-degree harassment and fourth-degree stalking Friday following an early morning incident at the school. Wells was found to be wearing a shoulder handgun holster with a black Desert Eagle BB pistol, which is considered an imitation pistol, beneath his jacket, troopers said.
According to documents filed with the Norfolk Town Court, Wells arrived at the school at approximately 7:20 a.m. and asked a secretary if he was in the right building to see teacher Kaylene Pernice. He said he had something he had to give to her, and I asked him if he could just leave it for her, the secretary said in her statement to police.
He advised me he had to give it to her in person by orders of his boss. He said he was from Syracuse and had to give it to her, she added.
The secretary told troopers she told Wells she would check to see if she arrived at school yet, and the school visitor asked if he could use a bathroom. The secretary said she directed Wells to the faculty bathroom and then contacted Ms. Pernice and informed her there was a visitor demanding to see her.
She said Ms. Pernice immediately suspected the visitor might be Wells, said he was stalking her and urged the secretary to contact an administrator. She said high school Principal Robin Fetter responded to the area, intercepted Wells when he left the bathroom and took him to a school office.
Wells was denied access to the school by the administration, and law enforcement was notified. He was taken into custody without incident in the middle school office, according to state police. They said due to the lock down procedures initiated by school administration at the beginning of the incident Wells was not able to gain access the interior of the school, and no students were placed in any type of danger as a result of the incident.
Ms. Pernice, in a seven-page statement given to state police, said she had met Wells approximately two weeks earlier and indicated his behavior had become increasingly erratic in the days before Fridays incident at the school.
I dont want Steve anywhere near me or my son. I have told him not to contact me, and he has continued to do so and is now showing up at my house and work, and this has caused me extreme anxiety. I never want to see or hear from Steve again, she noted in the statement she signed for police on Friday.
Court documents indicated Ms. Pernice, who was out with friends, first met Wells on Jan. 12 at the Hotel Nadeau in Massena, where they visited and danced. Wells ended up going to breakfast with Ms. Pernice and her friends that night and picked up the tab.
She said Wells showed up the next morning when Ms. Pernice was dropping her son off, took her for to Norwood to get a coffee and then convinced her, despite her reservations, to allow him to watch her sons hockey game with her.
Wells reportedly called and texted her numerous times over the next few days and suggested he wanted to buy tickets so she and her son could join him in Florida. He also offered to buy tickets for Ms. Pernice and her friends to attend a concert at the Turning Stone Casino. She rejected those offers.
She told police she went to dinner with Wells on Jan. 19 and told him she was not interested in any type of relationship with him. But she said the next day Wells called her, told her the power was out at his home and came to her residence so he could use a heating pad on his back. Ms. Pernice said Wells had her to take him to the hospital later that day.
She said over the next few days Wells continued to call and text her with minimal response. She said he asked her on Martin Luther King Day if he could see her later in the week, and she told him she was not interested.
That led to seven text messages between 1:40 a.m. and 5:11 a.m. Jan. 22, and Ms. Pernice told troopers that she told Wells to stop calling and texting her.
But Wells reportedly continued to call and text Ms. Pernice. I would not take his calls, and he would leave voice mails on my cell phone, she noted in her statement to troopers.
She said she had finally answered one of his calls on Thursday night, told an agitated Wells to stop contacting her. I had enough and was going to tell Steve to leave me alone or I was going to do something, she recalled in her statement, noting she had answered the phone after receiving five or six calls in a row from Wells.
But she said Wells called her again at 6:15 a.m. Friday, a call she did not take. A few minutes later, she looked outside and saw Wells parked behind her vehicle in her driveway.
The drivers side door was still open. The vehicle was running, music was playing, there was a laptop in the drivers seat and Steve was in the passenger seat smoking a cigar, she told police.
Ms. Pernice said Wells failed to comply with her request to move his vehicle, and she was forced to back over her yard and a snowbank to get out of her driveway. Wells also reportedly followed her vehicle after she left her home that morning, noting she had seen Wells take out a green package between the doors at her house when she was leaving Friday morning.
Minutes later, Ms. Pernice was in her classroom when she was contacted by the school secretary informing her that a man was in the office demanding to see her so he could give her a package. It was a call that led to the decision by school officials to lock down the school.

MASSENA Local business development officials are excited by the announcement that the rail-freight operator CSX Corp. will invest approximately $100 million toward improving its rail lines between Montreal and Syracuse.
The focus of the project is the construction of a trans-shipment center in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield in southwest Quebec, although CSXs total investment of $107.3 million will include $14 million toward the expansion of its site in Massena, according to the Montreal Gazette.
I think its great news. Any action that increases rail traffic to Montreal will increase rail use in Massena, said Daniel S. Pease, chairman of the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena.
CSX officials expect the project to increase north-south commerce on the companys local rail lines.
We believe this new terminal will provide immediate and long-term benefits to Quebec and to Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, CSX Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Ward said in a company news release. The terminal will provide an anchor for the development of new business, helping boost the economy and create jobs while helping the environment and reducing congestion on the highways.
Construction of the terminal in Salaberry-de-Valleyfields Perron Industrial Park is expected to begin this spring, and the terminal is expected to open in 2015.
Company officials declined to comment on how the project will expand the CSX site operations in Massena.
CSX does plan to make some improvements to its operations on the line between Syracuse and the Canadian border as a result of the planned development in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield in Quebec, CSX spokesman Robert Sullivan said. At this point, however, there are no specific projects to announce.
Mr. Pease said he believes any action that increases traffic to the north will be good for the community, because the CSX site in Massena rests on a line that connects Montreal to a number of major cities in the eastern United States.
The BDC has worked to improve the rail lines near the Massena Industrial Park, including funding a rail spur that would extend the CSX rail line to the park.
One of our problems with promoting rail service (near the industrial park) is because the rail car price is so high, Mr. Pease said. If the CSX project reduces the cost of shipping, it may increase the number of rail cars and increase competition at the industrial park.
Mr. Pease noted that more rail cars using the lines will reduce the rail car price. He said hes heard from potential business developers who have raised concerns over the high costs of shipment from the industrial park.
A major user of Massenas CSX lines is Alcoa, but company officials declined to comment on the firms plans, as they hadnt received information on the details of the project.

PAWTUCKET — Since 1910, both young and old have delighted in taking a spin on the handcrafted Looff Carousel in Slater Park. However, while still revered for its architectural beauty and historical significance, a recent fire safety inspection of the century-old structure turned up some modern day fire code violations.
The state of Rhode Island 's Building Code Commission requires an annual fire safety inspection of the carousel under the category of "special amusement structures." According to the Fire Capt. Robert Thurber, the city's fire marshal, an inspection done Tuesday morning by Pawtucket Fire Department inspectors brought to light the absence of several important safety features regarding the structure that houses the carousel.
Chief among these is the lack of any type of fire alarm or smoke detector inside the carousel building, even though a popcorn machine is in operation on the premises. There is also no sprinkler system, fire doors, or "panic" hardware on the door handles, and just one set of emergency lights, among the listed inadequacies, Thurber said.
Thurber said the carousel, which only operates seasonally, would not have to be shut down. However, he said the city will have to come up with a plan to address the safety code issues. He suggested that the city appeal to the state Fire Board for a waiver to allow for some extra time to do the repairs.
Thurber said that some of the issues can be easily addressed, such as addition of new door hardware, more exit signage and additional emergency lighting. The installation of a fire alarm system and sprinkler system is more involved, particularly since the structure has no heating system to tie into.
Thurber said the fire safety inspection is required to be done annually on the carousel, and he can't speak to what happened in years past.
Several sources told The Times that concerns about the carousel's lack of fire protection are not new and that various city and parks department officials have been apprised of the situation over the years.
Cost and the fact that the facility is seasonal have apparently led to deferred action, they said.
In a conversation last year about the historic nature of the carousel, former fire marshal Steven Parent, now retired, said he had expressed concerns to city officials on previous occasions about the structure not having a fire alarm or sprinkler system. He had suggested that a box alarm could be tied into the adjacent Daggett House. He had also been instrumental in getting a sprinkler system donated and installed inside another seasonal park attraction, the Haunted Tunnel.
Antonio Pires, director of administration and public safety director for the Grebien administration, told the Times that he had just been made aware of the problems and hadn't yet reviewed the fire inspection report in detail. He said, however, that if the deficiencies do exist, the administration will be coming up with an action plan to address them as well as making a formal appeal to the state for a waiver.
Pires also said he didn't think there was any reason to stop the carousel from operating, due to the fact that in the summertime, there are so many open doors that there would be numerous points of ingress and egress. If need be, he said there could be a fire detail assigned to the building or other such measures taken to ensure the continued operation for the season.
The carousel is open on weekends only in the springtime, and just began daily operations during July and August. It is also available for children's birthday parties. On the application form available through the Parks and Recreation Department, several warnings are given, including that there is no smoking or open flames allowed inside the carousel building, and that the facility has no heating or air conditioning.
The Looff Carousel, built in 1895, is the second oldest antique wooden carousel in Rhode Island and one of the six oldest in New England. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
